Co-op donates $30,000 to help PAC replace missing funds Carlie Connolly News staff

A playground upgrade can go ahead again at Keating Elementary School, thanks to the generosity of a local business.

The project had been put on hold after $40,000 earmarked for the equipment was reported missing from the bank account of the school’s parent advisory committee. On Sept. 11, Peninsula Co-op announced it was donating $30,000

to help have the playground constructed. The gift was welcome news to school district, says superintendent Keven Elder.

“We all know the great support (the Co-op) provides in the community and we’re excited they’re

providing this,” Elder said, noting the school board meets tonight (Sept. 16) and still needs to agree to accept the donation as it’s over $500.

An all-candidates meeting has been scheduled for Central Saanich but the number of candidates attending remains up in the air.

“There are five declared candidates, but only three of them have said they will be there.

The Green, Liberal and NDP will come, but we have yet to hear from the Conservative and Libertarian candidates,” said Ian Cameron, president of the Residents and Ratepayers of Central Saanich Society.

The Saanich Gulf Islands all-candidates meeting is set for Sept. 18 at the Brentwood Bay Badminton Hall, at the corner of Wallace Drive and West Saanich Road.

The meeting will run from 7 to 9 p.m. with a voluntary collection to pay for the hall.

“We will be asking for written questions, addressed to one, two or three specific candidates, or to all of them.”

Cameron said organizers will separate the questions so that each candidate will have equal opportunity to reply.

“Members of the audience will not be allowed to make speeches disguised as questions,” he said.

At the end of both meetings, parents and their children will reconvene in a ritual like party where the parents will symbolically welcome the girls into adolescence and witness them on their journey.

This Sunday, Sept. 20, for the first time in Sidney, girls between 10 to 12 years of age will get a chance to come together and be celebrated for their journey into adolescence.

The event is called G Day For Girls and was founded by Madeleine Shaw, who says the idea came to her from her own experience as an adolescent. The process of changing into an adult woman felt cool, special and overall exciting, but that nothing really happened to mark the occasion, she said.

She compared her experience to a birthday where people give you a book about aging instead of throwing you a party and baking you a cake.

“I also just see it as a really powerful way to support girls’ self esteem. There are a lot of really good reasons to give girls a big shot in the arm, emotionally, at this time in life,” she said.

On Sept. 20, at the Mary Winspear Centre, girls and their families will begin as a group, forming

really challenging and I think what we’re seeing is girls with the pressure coming through social media … really it’s a tough time in life, so G Day is an opportunity to gather together as families and as an entire community to show these girls that we’re here for them and to let them know that they are absolutely, amazing and perfect and fabulous just the way they are right now.”

The first G Day for Girls was held in April 2014 in Vancouver. Since then, the event has been held in Toronto and for a second time in Vancouver but Sunday marks the first time the event has been held in Greater Victoria.

“It’s kind of an old idea that we’re sort of making new again and just giving people the opportunity to be the village for a day because we don’t live that way anymore,” Shaw said. “But, once upon a time, we did and we came together to do these types of things for one another as we transition from different phases in life to the next.”

There are still tickets available at $75 each. People can purchase them the day of the event or at gdayforgirls.com.

Making clear the forest’s beauty North Saanich poet collaborates with renowned photographer on book about the Great Bear Rainforest Carlie Connolly News staff

L

orna Crozier wrote her first book in 1978 and has since penned 16 more including a memoir. But the North Saanich resident had never collaborated on a book with a photographer before teaming up with Ian McAllister last year.

“We kind of circled each other like strange wolves, trying to sniff out each other’s territory,” Crozier said about her first few meetings with McAllister, a photographer and conservationist.

It was a mutual friend who matched McAllister with Crozier, who was later commissioned to travel to the Great Bear Rainforest to write the book The Wild in You, (Greystone Books).

The Wild in You is about the Great Bear Rainforest -- a region roughly located between northern Vancouver Island and the Alaska panhandle.

The area is home to McAllister and his wife, who have worked hard to protect the land.

“This is a place of absolute wonders. There is the first place that I ever saw a grizzly,” Crozier said.

The rainforest is the ancient home of First Nations and one of the only places on earth you can find Kermode bears, also known as spirit bears because of their white coat. And so the book of poetry and photography focusses in on the beauty of the beings that share our planet and on a place where forest meets the sea.

Crozier is concerned about climate change and the health of our streams, waters and oceans and of our forests.

She hopes the book will encourage others to share their concerns and work to protect beauty in the world.

While exploring the Great Bear Rainforest alongside 15 people from all over the world, Crozier recalled crouching down in the pouring rain and watching as a huge grizzly bear ate berries a short distance away.

The group was accompanied by a guide armed with bear spray.

Lorna Crozier holds up a copy of her new poerty book at her home in North Saanich.

“I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. It was one of those intrinsic experiences where you know your life has changed after that.”

On the boat ride to the estuaries leading into the forest, Crozier saw humpback whales and other wildlife that gave her perspective in writing her poems.

“I firmly believe that we need to remind ourselves that we are part of the animal world, that the human being is an animal and that, whenever we can, (we need

to) connect with these creatures in their natural habitat,” she said.

“When they’re not in a zoo, when we’re not hunting them to kill them --either for the terrible thing called trophy hunting or for meat. When we meet them as the magnificent creatures they are in their own space, I think that something shifts inside of us, I think it’s -- if not a religious experience, a spiritual experience. I think it touches our heart and it touches our soul and those things don’t

get touched very often in our day to day lives.”

Crozier noted that whenever conversation turns to experiences of spiritual moments, they inevitably occurred in the natural world.

“That’s where people feel something bigger and maybe better than themselves, where they sense that there’s more than us out there and it’s almost like there’s a vibration in the air,” she said.

For Crozier, animals have always been a part of her poetry in some

way and with The Wild in You, it’s about the connection of these animals to humans and to earth. Her poetry goes hand in hand with the photographs by McAllister and give readers a deeper, hopeful connection.

“The poem and the photograph are friends. The photograph doesn’t illustrate the poem and the poem doesn’t comment on the photograph. So, its just that they’re sitting side by side and hopefully one is leading to a more in depth appreciation of the other.”

Crozier said McAllisters photographs are so brilliant that they don’t need any words to explain them.

“Our desire, and what we were aiming for, was that what he does and what I do enrich each other and dance with each other, they’re dancing partners in the book.”

She says she wants people who don’t usually read poetry to read it as they would a picture book, which is more accessible.

“Images create emotions but the emotions are always the same, we only have so many human emotions.

“Whether we live in Paris, Russia or North Saanich, we’re all writing about the same thing, we’re all writing about grief and love and worry and sadness and exhilaration, but it’s the images that we choose to hold those things that shift when we move from place to place.”

When she lived in Saskatchewan, her images came from the wind in the wheat fields, gophers, the big sky and other scenes associated with that place. After living in B.C. for almost 25 years, her feet are in a different place.

“I’ve always striven to write poetry that is of the everyday, about life as we see it if we pay attention. Poetry’s always about paying close attention,” she said.

“To see something clearly and then try to find words that make that clear scene part of how we talk about (what we see). I think, when we do that, what we’re trying to do is to remind everybody the world is holy, that these creatures are as valuable as we are.”

Tom Hackney is one of the members of the Victoria chapter of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association which, along with the Dogwood Initiative, is staging federal candidate debates from Sooke to Sidney over the next few weeks.

Climate change, sustainability among federal debate topics Candidates from South Island ridings to square over next few weeks Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

The B.C. Sustainable Energy Association wants to hear what Greater Victoria federal election candidates have to say about topics relating to climate change and sustainability.

The organization’s Victoria chapter, which undertook a speakers series last fall entitled Energy and the Next Federal Election, begins a series of candidate debates this week under the theme Energy, Climate and Our Future.

Held in partnership with the Dogwood Initiative, the debates get underway tonight (Sept. 16) at Edward Milne Community School in Sooke and involves

candidates for the EsquimaltSaanich-Sooke riding, which includes most of the West Shore except Langford.

“We had talks themed on various things, from behaviour change and transportation to carbon tax and building a viable economy,” said debates co-organizer Tom Hackney of the speakers series.

“We all conceived this leading to a candidate’s debate. When we finished the planning, we figured we should spread the good news to all the ridings on the South Island.”

Among the pre-arranged topics to be discussed by Conservatives, Liberal, NDP and Green candidates are renewable energy, oil tankers and pipeline expansion, green jobs, greenhouse gas emission reduction and impacts on future generations.

“We spent a lot of time crafting questions that we feel cover the area fairly well, and we’ll be raising the questions neutrally,” Hackney said.

“Our thought is that these issues are just so important and their importance is becoming increasingly clear as we hear news of wildfires, and droughts and the progress that is being made in sustainable energy.”

Attendees will also be encouraged to ask their own questions during a Q&A section.

Subsequent debates will happen Sept. 24 at First Metropolitan United Church in Victoria (Victoria riding), Sept. 24 at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Langford (Cowichan-MalahatLangford), Sept. 29 at Esquimalt United Church (Esq.-Saan.Sooke) and Oct. 2 at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney (Saanich-Gulf Islands).

All of the debates are scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m.

For people with children who might otherwise be unable to attend, child care will be provided on site.

Registration for the service is required; visit bcsea.org/victoria to sign up or to find more debate information.

Airport changing baggage check in Travellers can expect temporary changes in the checkin process as the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority upgrades the baggage screening system at Victoria International Airport.

A temporary baggage handling facility is being constructed to allow for the current baggage make-up area to be renovated and existing equipment replaced with more advanced, internationally compatible technology.

CATSA’s priority is the security of the travelling public and these improvements will ensure their

system continues to employ the best practices and standards.

Upon arrival at the airport for a flight, passengers will continue to check-in with their airline but will be required to take their tagged baggage to the east end of the terminal building and drop them at the temporary baggage screening point. From there, passengers proceed to the security checkpoint for preboard screening.

“Passengers are reminded to arrive 90 minutes prior to their flight as the cut off time for checking-in with the airlines

is 45 minutes prior to departure,” said Geoff Dickson, airport authority president and CEO. “We are working closely with CATSA to minimize the inconvenience to travellers and ask for their cooperation during construction as we work towards a seamless transition to the new system.”

The new baggage drop procedures began on Monday. It is expected this CATSA funded initiative will be completed by January 2017 at a cost of $9.7 million.

Thrashing Weekend a window on the past Tim Collins News contributor

It was a simpler time.

A time when entire communities came together to harvest the grain that helped to sustain their way of life.

It was thrashing time.

This coming weekend, Sept. 19 and 20, the members of the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society (S.H.A.S.) will be bringing the past to life during their harvest festival, held at their Heritage Acres Park (the park is located at 7321 Lochside Drive; it’s visible from the Pat Bay highway, but the entrance is actually accessed from Island View Road).

“This is a chance for people to see the way life used to be,” said Dave Hopkins, the president of the S.H.A.S. “The job of thrashing the grain wasn’t a one man job, like it is today with modern combines. In those days you needed an engineer to run the engine that drove the machinery, a fireman to keep the fire going for the boiler, a couple of men operating the separator, several men tossing the bundles of cut grain into the separator and still more men to bag and haul the separated grain. The families would prepare meals for the workers ... it was a time when folks got together.”

Hopkins said that even though modern methods are obviously more efficient, they have come at a cost.

“A lot of people have lost touch with the land,” he said. “They just think that their food comes directly from the grocery store, without any thought about how it got there.

When the entire community was involved in the process, they knew where their food came from.”

That’s why Hopkins’ Society has dedicated its efforts to collecting, restoring and demonstrating artifacts from our rural past.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Volunteers with the Saanich Historical Artifacts Society move hay the old fashioned way during last year’s Fall Harvest at Heritage Acres in Central Saanich.

It’s a way of connecting with times past and reminding us all of how life used to be. The machinery that will be operating during the upcoming Festival is a prime example and includes a 1928 Oliver Red River Special grain separator and, to drive the separator, a 1907 Sawyer/Massey steam engine.

“We’ll also have a lot of other steam operated machinery going,” said Hopkins. “It’ll be there, huffing and puffing away ... it’s quite the sight, really.”

Hopkins said that the other exhibits at Heritage Acres will also be in full operation, including a turn of the century street scene that has one of the first school houses ever built on the Peninsula.

In the boat house, the Esquimalt Model Train Society will have a display of model trains, appropriate to the period, and rides on scale model trains will be provided by the Vancouver Island Model Engineers Club.

There will also be other activities and

displays, including leather working demonstrations and a chance for the kids to try their own hand at the craft of leatherwork.

“They can make a little bracelet or something along that line ... and the folks will help them to do that,” said Hopkins.

OUR VIEW

Are you prepared for a disaster?

If disaster struck tomorrow, would you be ready? If recent storms have taught us one thing, it is that residents are woefully unprepared for any sort of natural disaster.

Examples of 9-1-1 operators being inundated with phone calls from residents demanding to know when their power would be back on, and insisting someone pay for the contents lost in freezers, is exactly what not to do in the event of a storm. That phone line is only supposed to be used in the event of a real emergency or when someone’s life is in danger. Some soggy hamburger and the Internet being down, in our books, does not classify as an emergency.

While the Saanich Peninsula seemed to miss the brunt of Mother’s Nature fury and didn’t see the record-breaking power outages the lower mainland had to contend with, next time we may not be so lucky.

People’s expectations for immediate service leave us shaking our heads. Quite frankly, it is an embarrassment when compared to other events going on around the world.

In the event of a natural disaster, or an Act of God as insurance companies like to call them, the government expects you to be on your own for a minimum of 72 hours. Yes, that is three days you are expected to be on your own and during that time you are expected to have clothing, food and water for every member of your household, including your furry companions.

In the event of a major earthquake, help will not be knocking on everyone’s door at that 72-hour mark. The limited services available through local municipalities and agencies will be overrun with demand. And if you think that big box store will supply you with fresh bread and eggs, think again. No one will be working in the rubble of those buildings.

So as winter approaches, bringing more powerful storms to an area that is already deemed to be at high risk for serious earthquakes, it’s a reminder for residents to become prepared.

Talk to your families, friends, and neighbours.

Have a plan if disaster strikes, because you will be on your own.

Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.

“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”

Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.

You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.

More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Harper keeping us from Greek-like state Canadians for an economically viable future for our children believe that Canada cannot, and should not vote for political leaders who will divert this great country onto a path of economic destruction.

What kind of legacy is it for our children to be handed controls of a country that has been reduced to a Greek-like state that is ineffective and has no influence on the world stage, because there is no financial ability to support foreign affairs or a military with peace keeping ability? No money for social programs.No money for anything.

A country, rich in natural resources, but hamstrung by environmental laws that will not allow their development or extraction.

A country in which large and powerful civil service unions control their own taxpayer funded salary increases. Salaries that have to be paid

with borrowed funds, because the country’s economic activity has been choked to death.

Look at the situation in our own province of Ontario. A huge mess due to repeated government’s mismanagement. Live within your means everyone!

The role of any federal government HAS to be, first and foremost, to keep Canadian families fed and clothed by allowing our economy to remain robust. More government regulations and taxes on individuals or business is absolutely counterproductive. It has been done repeatedly in other countries and has always failed.

Sweden, a country still considered to be quite socialist, now has about the lowest corporate tax rate in the world. They apparently learned what Mr. Mulcair, Mr. Trudeau and Ms. May have not: that taxing corporations more does not bring in more revenue, it only drives them away or out of business. Likewise, the wealthiest Canadians will vote with their feet and leave Canada if faced with large tax increases. We are in a global economy now which is totally different than that of our grandparents. Government policies that worked in 1960 will

not work now. Yet, old ideas of tax and spend are what the opposition leaders are campaigning on.

We need to live within our means and ignore leaders who say “I’m not opposed to deficits”. Deficits lead to bankruptcy,period, and should be allowed only in extreme circumstances, and for as little time as possible.

That is what Prime Minister Harper has done, and that is what

he will continue to do. If not, Canada will become just another failed state, like most of those in Europe.

A third of people caring for a frail senior at home are in distress, and yet some provincial supports such as adult day programs remain under-used, according to a new report from B.C.'s Seniors Advocate.

A survey of health assessments for 30,000 B.C. seniors found that the majority of those who report fatigue and other stresses from caring for a relative or friend aren't using provincial programs.

B.C. offers three kinds of respite services, adult day programs, respite beds in care facilities that offer care for up to 30 days at a time, and home support visits from care aides.

Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie said availability of programs is better in urban areas than rural ones, but in general B.C. offers less respite care than Alberta and has more unpaid caregivers reporting distress.

Mackenzie says increasing availability for adult day programs could reduce emergency visits from complex home care patients by a third, and hospital admissions by half, detecting medication or other health problems before they produce a hospital visit.

One puzzling result from the survey is that while there are waiting lists for adult day programs in B.C., one out of four spaces is empty each day.

Mackenzie said there may be logistical problems with home care patients, such as a need to attend medical appointments at the same time as the day program is offered.

Mackenzie isn't suggesting government-paid substitutes can replace volunteer

B.C. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie caregivers, most of whom are spouses or other relatives, but says they should have more opportunities to take a break.

"Caregivers do it all," she said. "Sometimes it is as simple as driving mum to the doctor's office. Other times it is as complicated as insulin injections or changing catheter bags.

"Sometimes it is dropping in on mum and dad at the end of

the work day and other times it is living with your wife of 65-plus years as she surrenders to the ravages of dementia, does not know who you are, cannot be left alone and must be fed and toileted."

Health Minister Terry Lake said the province has increased investments in home health services over the past 10 years, and is working with health authorities to shift from hospital to home-care as the population ages.

Mackenzie said the number of adult day program clients and days utilized has declined in the last three years, and the number of respite beds at care facilities also appears to be down.

The survey found that only half of the clients registered for home support reported receiving a home visit in the previous seven days.

The report and other services are available at the Seniors Advocate website, www.seniorsadvocatebc.ca.

Dog survives cougar attack near Durrance Lake Saanich News

Police and the B.C. Conservation Officer Service are reminding pet owners of the potential dangers from wild animals following an incident on Saturday evening that has left a medium sized dog with injuries.

Shortly before 6 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 12, a resident in the 5900 block of Wallace Drive, around the area of Heals Rifle Range, was in the yard with their dog.

The dog wandered into a

4

thick bush area on the property and a short time later the dog was heard in distress.

The home owner observed that a cougar had injured the dog and was attempting to leave the property with the family pet.

Thankfully, as the cougar was negotiating its way from the property, the dog was able to get free, and was recovered by its owners.

The dog has undergone at least one surgery to date to repair puncture wounds to its head and neck.

Reasons toVISIT

– Sgt. Steve Essie Although the dog may require further medical care, it is expected to survive.

The cougar in question was last seen heading in the direction of the Heals Rifle Range which is in close proximity to Gowland Tod Provincial Park and the Mount Work Regional Park (Durrance Lake).

The BC Conservation Officer Service has been advised and are aware of the circumstances of this incident.

No other similar incidents have been noted and there have been no recent reports of livestock being affected.

“It does not appear that the animal in question was actively hunting “Sgt. Steve Eassie said. “Instead, it would appear that the cougar was confronted by the dog, and simply attempted to seize the opportunity of a relatively simple food source.”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - September 16, 2015 2015, 2015

Lori Morgan’s Austrian adventure places her 34th

In our own province, more than 100,000 people turn to local food banks each year.

Tim Collins News contributor

The people were friendly and hospitable; the camaraderie between competitors was inspiring; and the race course was as beautiful as it was brutal.

That’s a quick summary of Lori Morgan’s Austrian adventure; an adventure that, in late August, saw her travel to Zell am See Austria for the 2015 world triathlon competition.

Morgan, who is from Central Saanich, qualified for that event on June 14th when she was first to cross the finish line (for her age group of 55 to 59 year old females) at the 70.3 Half Iron competitions held at Elk Lake.

That win was the culmination of 16 years of training for Morgan, who attributes her ability to pursue the demanding sport of triathlon to the unflagging support of her efforts from coaches at Lifesport, her friends, neighbours, and especially from her family.

“I could never have done this without their support,” said Morgan.

But the trip to Austria was more than Morgan could ever have imagined when she first started her triathlon training.

“It was the trip of a lifetime,” said Morgan. “The scenery was stunningly beautiful, with glacier fed crystal clear waters, snow capped mountains...it was so great...so much fun.”

According to Morgan, it was also the toughest race in which she has ever participated. “It was by far the toughest bike ride. That’s certain,” she said.

“The beginning of the (21 km) bike ride was great. We jumped on our bikes at the transition area and set off through alpine villages and countryside...it was so wonderful.” Then we came to the hills...or rather, the mountains.

“We came to the first hills and they were an 8% grade leading to the summit. That was challenging enough, but for the last two kilometers of the uphill that grade increased to over 15%...it was brutal,” said Morgan. “But I just put my head down and went for it.”

As tough as cycling up a 15% grade may be, the downhill is no easy feat either. “There were a few wipe-outs on the course, I’m told. I made it down alright, but

it was very challenging.”

The rest of the course was the most beautiful that Morgan has ever experienced, she said.

“We swam in these crystal clear waters at the base of a mountain, and our run was around the lake in some of the most stunning landscape that you could imagine.”

Morgan’s time of 6:21 was enough to earn her a 34th ranking in the world for her age grouping; no mean feat when competing against athletes from all over the world.

“We met people from Australia, Germany, England, and Japan...everywhere,” said Morgan. “And we were treated like

B.C. cabinet ministers and 500 aboriginal leaders emerged from two days of meetings in Vancouver Thursday with a pledge to work on divisive resource development issues and hold a provincewide forum on aborigi-

nal children in government care.

Premier Christy Clark also announced the establishment of a $2 million fund for scholarships for aboriginal students pursuing postgraduate degrees, and a new set of awards for aboriginal youth athletic achievement.

MLA Gordon Hogg was appointed parliamentary secretary in charge of developing the sports awards.

that would settle historic land claims across the province. Clark said the agreement would have to include provisions for the unique aspects of more than 200 First Nations.

Grand Chief Ed John of the First Nations Summit said the first two years of these province-wide meetings have gotten off to a rocky start, but expressed the hope that “by year 10 we’ll have paved the road.”

In his closing speech, John reflected on his own time at a residential school, and described a new generation of young people that is emerging from the social upheaval of that policy.

“I couldn’t even see my sister on the other side of the building, even though she was in the same residential school as I was,” John said. “That disconnect became the norm.”

Chief Shane Gottfriedson, regional representative of the Assembly of First Nations, echoed John’s call for a resolution to land issues that started in 1859 when colonial Governor James Douglas proclaimed that all lands and resources in B.C. belong to Crown.

Chief Robert Chamberlin, vice president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, said last year’s landmark land title decision in favour of the Tsilhqot’in Nation means action is required to address territorial claims.

It is the Canadian law that First Nations want to see implemented,” he said.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - September 16, 2015,

Victoria Fall Sectional sees big turnout Bridge players from all over play at Mary Winspear Centre over the weekend The Victoria Fall Sectional was held in Sidney for the first time and saw players from all over attend accumulating around 200 players. From Sept.

10 to the 12th, the Mary Winspear Centre was packed as the bridge tournament took place in what’s called a sectional, where the players can earn silver points towards becoming a life master or increasing the number of points they have.

The first two days are played in pairs and it’s fairly competitive. For the duplicate, all of the pairs play the same pre dealt hands against everybody else.

On the third day there is what’s called swiss teams, where they are playing as a team of four.

The three day event saw people come out from the mainland and Washington State with many players from Sidney and the Upper Peninsula who play as well. Many of the players here drive to Victoria for what they call Sanction games where they can also earn points.

Many of the players at the bridge sectional are members of a national organization called the American Contract Bridge League (ACBL).

Once one is a member, they can be earning points for the fun of it. There are a few who are non- members and they are still welcome to attend, but must register an hour before playing.

They can come in as a pair and let the directors know what their skill level is and are then assigned a table from there playing against others in that group.

Jane Clinckett focusses on her bridge game Below right: Ruth Evans plays at the Bridge tournament in Sidney Carlie Connolly photos

Among the players on the opening day were those who have never played a tournament before to one player who has more than 10,000 points, being the Canadian champion.

At the end of two days of pair play, the overall leader in the top bracket (the A Strat) gets a trophy, the leader in the B strat gets another and the leader in the C strat.

In addition, at the end of the third day of play, the single individual overall winner of the three day tournament will win the remaining trophy.

Proving that track and field is a life-long sport, a 12-year-old and a 66-year-old athlete shared the Peninsula Track and Field Club’s top award for Inspiration Athlete of the Year.

Julia Peterson has had a year of outstanding performances in all three disciplines of throwing, jumping and sprinting, showing a level of talent that encourages her fellow athletes as well as herself to achieve greater heights.

Peter Auvinen not only garnered a host of medals at both the B.C. Masters and B.C. 55+ Games, he has enthusiastically coached club youngsters in the throwing events so that some day their skills may rival his.

ters Championships and a new Canadian age-group record in the Hammer, gained the Masters Trophy.

The Ravi Gunasinghe Award was shared by Charles Dutton (12) and David Johnson (16).

Johnson is an especially notable recipient since, as a legally blind athlete, he not only excels in High Jump and distance running, but last winter was named as Novice of the Year in the National Blind Hockey Championships.

Trophies for the Runner of the Year went to Elllaina Coley and Alexis Norton (12), for Thrower of the Year to 10 year olds Sean Kirkendale and Marcus Thompson, and for Jumper of the Year to Sebastian Olsson (12) and Rawdi Bartrim (13).

The Fiona Clarke Sportsmanship trophies for females went to Adrianna Hilton (10) and Alyssa Jensen (13) and, on the male side, to Mateo Hilton (13) and Masters athlete Carl Jensen.

Three 12 year olds -- Carmen George, Michael Johnson and Alexis Van Den Bulk -- were jointly awarded the Eleanor Richardson trophy for extreme dedication to their practice and performance sessions.

Outstanding Novice trophies, given for great performances in the Club by a newcomer of any age, were won by Dillan Larson (9), Ellaina Coley (10) and Masters thrower Adam Drummond.

Peninsula Panthers #29 Ty Hermsen tries to barge through two Victoria Cougars defenders in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey action Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre.

Hermsen toiled with the Peninsula Midget AA team last year and it is clear to see he is no stranger to the bump and grind style.

Panthers weekend a bust after injuries and third period fails If a bad title to some twangy Country and Western tune summarized the Peninsula Panthers weekend, “Injuries and 3rd periods cracked my broken Heart” would probably be it.

There were no lyrics about fast girls and stale whiskey but rather just lapses of attention and an injury bug that has caught up to the Club in a hurry.

On Friday evening at the Panorama Recreation Centre, the Victoria Cougars were in for a game that had a lot of promise and for the most part, matched the pre-game hype. The Cougars are hosting the BC Championships in April and have brought in almost their entire roster from out of town. And for the Panthers, the team was billed as the youngest in the VIJHL but loaded with skill, speed and talent. The two Clubs raced up and down the ice in the 1st frame and after 20 minutes were in the books a pair of markers by 17-year-old Cam Thompson and a tally by 16-year-old

Marty Westhaver left the Panthers with a 3-1 cushion. The Cougars responded with a couple of their own in the middle stanza to knot the contest at 3-3 which set the stage for an exciting final period.

And for 12 minutes, the game was up for grabs, but a long screened shot beat Panthers stopper Alex Olson with just 8 left in regulation. And only 35 ticks a shot that was tipped by a high stick and was seen by just about everyone in the rink except for the ones that counted gave the Cougars a 5-3 lead. They added an insurance marker with under two minutes to go to make it a 6-3 final, a score which hardly told the real story in the game.

But the game proved to be costly as the Club prepared to face the Kerry Park Islander just 24 hours later. With five regulars out of their lineup including Trevor Owens, Ty Tremblay, Westhaver, Michael Neale and Matt Forbes, a banged up crew arrived in Mill

Bay ready to compete. Thompson scored late in the 2nd period to tie the game at 1-1 but a stretch of 76 seconds proved to be the difference when the Islanders scored two and eventually held for the win by a 3-1 count. 16-year-old goaltender Shawn Parkinson looked more comfortable between the pipes for the Panthers but was tagged for the loss.

“We have a lot of young players not having played at this level and they will quickly

adjust, I have no doubt about that,” explained Pete Zubersky.

“We are really close and come Friday night when the Islanders come in for the rematch we are all looking to get back into the win column. I love this group, I know that something special will happen soon and the wins will come our way.”

The Islanders are at the Panorama Recreation Centre on Friday with the puck set to drop at 7:30 pm.

Vic Flying Club holds open house Carlie Connolly News staff

This Saturday the Victoria Flying Club will be having an open house and career fair from 11 a.m. to 3 for those interested in becoming a pilot to talk to aviation industry leaders and have a chance to

tour various airplanes.

There will be lots of airplanes to view, tours in members airplanes, familiarization fights and the chance to meet other pilots.

“This career fair will be a little bit different in that it’s very focussed towards people who are considering a

career in aviation but we always have the fun stuff,” said Reynolds.

The familiarization flights allow people to have a quick sightseeing tour in a smaller aircraft as some people are afraid of the smaller planes and Reynolds says it’s a great way to get a feel for it, and that

people may want to move onto flying themselves.

“What I found was my comfort level changed dramatically when I was the one flying the airplane… It was a real difference, because you’re in control,” she said.

A copy of the Commission’s draft Terms of Reference is available on the Town’s website at www.sidney.ca. A schedule of the meetings has not been determined, however they will be held during the day and during the work week. Members will be expected to dedicate their time and expertise for a two-year term. Preference will be given to applicants with strong background knowledge and experience in economic development.

Book tells tragic tale of life lost to eating disorder Laura Lavin Black Press

Karen Flello loses her composure only once during a conversation about her sister Michelle.

When asked to recall childhood memories, Flello confides that her father died of cancer when she was five and Michelle only three. Relatives convinced the girls’ mother to give up a younger brother with Down syndrome.

“My mother had a difficult time. … we had a lot of turmoil in our lives. … she was my little sister, you know … I would do any-

thing for her,” she says, her voice breaking.

Flello’s sister Michelle Stewart died May 14, 2014 after a decades-long battle with eating disorders.

Stewart worked for 10 years as a radio reporter and for 17 years in communications for the BC Ministry of Health. By all accounts she was bright, intelligent and insightful, but mental illness cut her life short at age 49.

“Michelle was diagnosed with renal failure, but by the time she went to the doctor … it was end-stage,” says Flello.

However, the diagno-

ses was an awakening for Stewart who began to blog about her illness and publicly stated it was due to her 32 year battle with anorexia and bulemia.

“She told me once that she didn’t want to die with all that stuff inside her,” says Flello, Principal at South Island Distance Education School.

Stewart began her blog a year before her death.

“It got harder during the early months of 2014, she was on a lot of medications which build up toxins in the bloodstream. She was not as sharp as she was before.

Still she’d write. We talked

about making the blog into a book to be able to reach a wider audience and she was supportive of that.”

Flello and Stewart’s longtime partner Kirk Mason worked with Maggie Langrick at Life Tree Media to take Stewart’s words and tell her story.

“It’s written like her blog with all of the original titles and dates, interspersed with her original poetry that hasn’t been seen before.

We reduced the material to focus on a couple of main messages,” says Flello.

The result is Shell, a unique account of Stewart’s lifelong battle with the

destructive disorder. “It’s the life of someone suffering with a longtime eating disorder [and] the life of a palliative patient and her experiences with the palliative response team.”

The book also touches on health policies and what Stewart refers to as “the pecking order” of diseases.

“The last part of the book is a love letter to family and friends who she couldn’t talk to about her illness and how she realized her illness affected others.”

Flello says there is a desperate need for open and compassionate discussion around eating disorders.

“We need to recognize the behaviour and start to deal with it as a mental health issue. The anxiety, the perfectionism, the depression and lack of self worth that create the need for the behaviour before it becomes an addiction, before it becomes a problem in terms of your physical health. … if we wait until you’re skeletal before we deal with it, we’re waiting too long.”

The family has started Michelle’s Voice: The Society for Eating Disorder Awareness and Education, find it online at facebook. com/michellestewartbook.

Vox in the Stars almost sold out Vox Humana Chamber Choir, led by conductor Brian Wismath, will be performing this Friday, Sept. 18, to a sold out crowd at the NRC Centre of the Universe on West Saanich Road.
