District hall to remain open for business North Saanich municipal hall construction work expected to begin at the end of November Steven Heywood News staff

Doors to the District of North Saanich municipal hall will remain open and it will be business as usual when construction starts later this month.

Members of municipal council and repre-

sentatives of Verity Construction Ltd. officially broke ground Monday, on the project to revamp and replace a significant amount of the existing district hall. Mayor Alice Finall says she’s happy that the council has moved so quickly to get the work started.

Verity, with design work from Musgrave Architects and Victoria Design Group will

begin the first phase of the project this month, by renovating the west side of the existing building and adding a new wing off the south frontage of the structure. That work will also include rebuilding the exterior of the north wall, said Victoria Design Group owner Wil Peereboom. The wall has been damaged by water leakage and has

The $.2.5 million project will then demolish the older, east portion of the building. A new council chamber, built to post-disaster standards, will be put up in its place in the second phase of construction.

NEWS REVIEW

B.C. Greens set leadership contest in February VICTORIA — The B.C. Green Party will hold a membership vote for a new leader in February 2016.

In preparation for the contest, leadership election rules have been prepared and approved by the party’s provincial council and are available at greenparty.bc.ca/ lec-rules.

The rules are designed to reflect the importance of electing a leader

going into the 2017 provincial general election and heading a strong caucus of Green MLAs in the B.C. Legislature.

Adam Olsen, interim leader, said he and his team has made inroads across the province, addressing issues such as the Site C dam, Kinder Morgan pipeline proposal and more.

“The B.C. Green Party mem-

bership and number of donors is growing,” Olsen said in a media release. “It is a reflection that the people of our province are tired of the dominant and divisive two party British Columbia politics, and the Greens offer a balanced, evidence-based approach in the legislature.

Candidates for leader must be a member of the party in good

standing by no later than six months prior to Nov. 2, 2015 and must submit their application package no later than 5 p.m. on Dec. 1, 2015.

Upon approval, applicants become a nominee and must be endorsed by at least 75 B.C. Green Party members in good standing as of Dec. 31, 2015. The campaign period for each candidate begins

when they are deemed a nominee, and ends at midnight on Feb. 4, 2015.

The leadership election will be held online beginning Feb. 1, 2016, and ending at 5 p.m. on Feb. 5, 2016. All B.C. Green Party members residing in British Columbia and in good standing prior to December 31, 2015 are eligible to vote.

“Everybody has a Larry Orr story.”

Those words echoed through the arena at Panorama Recreation Centre Thursday, Oct. 29 and rang true for many people gathered to remember Larry Orr. Orr, affectionately known at the Saanich Peninsula’s ‘Mr. Hockey’ died last month after an illness. Friends and family held a well-attended celebration of life, drawing hundreds of families, friends and former hockey players he had helped in one way or another.

His son, Derek Orr, unveiled a new banner in Arena B, the home of his beloved Peninsula Panthers hockey club. It helps to recognize the contribution Orr made to the game and the local hockey community.

“He was so many things to so many people,” Derek said.

“The truth is, everybody knew a different part of my dad and they always had a story about him.”

Orr was heavily involved in local hockey, baseball and golf — making his presence felt throughout many parts of the community. He was instrumental, alongside Jason Fletcher, in helping to bring the 2015 Kraft Hockeyville title — and an NHL preseason game — to North Saanich and Greater Victoria.

Fletcher said Orr’s impact was felt mostly by the kids who played the game.

“No kid was ever turned away,” Fletcher said, remembering Orr’s golf tournament that he himself took part in as a 14-year-old.

Fletcher said he grew up and had a family of his own and Orr came back into his life in a big way.

“People like him are really important to the community,” Fletcher continued. “They do so many things for the community, not themselves, not for anyone else.”

He said Orr was his inspiration to put in the Hockeyville nomination — as well as the man who changed his life for the better.

People offered their remembrances of Larry Orr, who died last month, at a celebration of life ceremony at Panorama Recreation Centre on Oct. 29.

Steven Heywood/News staff

A banner was unveiled by Orr’s son, Derek, to honour his late father’s contribution to the community.

Derek Orr noted that many people knew his dad as the guy with a slap on the arm

for encouragement and a piece of bubble gum. He said it means a lot to his family, his

mom Sandy, to see how people remember Larry and how they pay it forward, based on his example.

Wayne Ruffle, who worked alongside Larry during the construction of the Rotary Park Field of Dreams baseball facility, said Larry was a fixture at the park for years.

“He never sought recognition,” he said. “It was just the work that needed to be done.”

Former Peninsula Panther Spencer Looysen said Orr was a family friend for 16 years and remembers Orr’s constant supply of bubble gum.

“Our communities would be better off if people practised what he always did,” he said.

Former and current Panthers hockey players paid tribute to Larry Orr in a video, featuring faces from his past.

Derek then unveiled the banner at the north end of the arena.

“I vow never to squander the gifts my father has taught me,” he said.

People ended the celebration by offering stories and signing a memory table at Panorama’s tennis facility. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Asbestos registry getting provincial attention Response only the beginning, says rep.

Carlie Connolly News staff

In a Canada-wide call for asbestos awareness and registries, President of Vancouver Island Building Trades Phil Venoit is pleased with the response thus far.

“I’m also thrilled that other municipalities are looking at our issue seriously and they are drawing up motions of their own. I’m thrilled that our approach to dealing with the asbestos awareness issue is also being … I’m going to say applauded by WorkSafe BC,” he told the PNR in a recent phone interview.

The District of Central Saanich

on Oct. 19 addressed correspondence from Premier Christy Clark and Assistant Deputy Minister of Industrial Relations and Labour Programs, Trevor Hughes, who thanked the District for their letter dated Sept. 9 on asbestos-related concerns. Venoit had spoken with council in September, seeking their support for an asbestos registry. He detailed in the PNR on Sept. 9 his efforts to seek a national registry of public buildings with asbestos.

Venoit also received a response from former Prime Minister Stephen Harper, thanking him for raising concerns. Harper noted in his letter, said Venoit, the issue

Phil Venoit is pleased the issue is getting local and national attention. is complex and requires a more detailed response, but that the government would address it in

terms of the respectful nature it deserves. With the change in government now, Venoit said he is waiting to see if something different will come forward over the next short period.

“Hopefully we’re going to be seeing some change so we can slow down the effects of coming in contact with this dust,” he said.

Venoit will meet with the British Columbia New Democratic Party and some NDP MLAs early next month. He said he has been working with several municipalities, seeking a motion or resolution to go forward to next year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference.

“It’s a great cause that’s negatively impacted so many families for decades and I’m glad to see

that there’s several councillors and municipalities around British Columbia that are willing to take up this cause because it really is far reaching and it has impacted so many different people obviously in so many negative ways.”

Venoit said they will look to media like YouTube, radio and television commercials to go in conjunction with the Day of Mourning in April of next year,.

He added there are so many deaths related to asbestos-related contact that are recognized on that day.

“It seems everywhere I turn somebody knows somebody that died from it and because of that it’s garnered some real attention.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, November 4, 2015

East wing of the municipal hall will be torn down Continued from page 1

Finall and Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan noted the phasing of the work will mean staff will be able to continue without interruption and the public will still be able to access the municipal hall on district business.

“Phase one, the new wing, will see everybody move into it once it’s done,” said Buchan.

“That won’t happen until some time in the summer or later next year.”

Peereboom said the west portion will be walled off during construction, allowing access to the existing council chamber and administrative offices.

Work will be done to fix issues related to water leakage and the new wing will be built. Once crews move to the east side, he said it’s a complete rebuild, from the ground-up.

Steven Heywood/News staff

Colette Miller, project co-ordinator with Verity Construction Ltd., Wil Peereboom, owner of Victoria Design Group and Gabe Forrester, Verity’s project manager, break ground with members of North Saanich District council Nov. 2.

There will be some innovation in the new structure. He said the council chamber will be built to withstand an earthquake or other disaster and be able to function as a community emergency opera-

tions centre. To do so, it will be outfitted with a bank of batteries, some charged with solar power.

Finall said she’s happy with this addition, noting that if it’s successful, the battery

wall being installed might be able to sell power back to the Hydro grid and perhaps even pay for itself.

The new east portion of the municipal hall will include washrooms and an improved basement with more meet-

ing space as well as storage areas.

The second phase of the project is likely at least seven to eight

months away, said Peereboom. Construction, once it starts, will last at least that long, with a break in the middle to allow staff to move over.

During that time, the council chamber will not be available. Finall said the Town of Sidney has already offered their chamber to their North Saanich counterparts. While it’s an option, she said, there’s a conflict in that both councils hold their meetings on Monday nights. Finall said she would like to maintain their Monday evening meetings for the sake of the public — and has asked staff to look into other locations to hold their meetings.

Currently, the construction company is waiting for its building permit.

OUR VIEW

Defence of the indefensible

S

uccessful governments pay close attention to the lessons of history. And one lesson that history has taught us repeatedly is: governments who move towards a more humane society almost always find themselves on the right side of history.

It is a lesson that appears lost on B.C.’s Liberal government.

A recent poll from Insights West shows the vast majority of B.C. residents are opposed to trophy hunting. While a government shouldn’t legislate based on polling, a survey isn’t needed to justify the elimination of such a barbaric practice. The Insights West poll showed 91 per cent of British Columbians oppose hunting animals for sport and it’s probably fair to say the majority of the province’s residents not only oppose trophy hunting, but are sickened by it.

But B.C. Premier Christy Clark is sticking to her guns. Clark responded to questions on the poll by saying she didn’t enter politics to be popular. She said just because something is unpopular doesn’t make it wrong.

One has to wonder if the premier has seen the video which recently surfaced showing a grizzly bear being shot repeatedly as it scrambled down a hillside in a vain attempt to survive something that can only be described as torture. Does anybody really need a poll to tell them this is not only wrong, but an abomination to civilized society?

In attempts to defend the practice, the premier pointed to the healthy grizzly bear population and her desire to create jobs for people all around the province. There’s healthy dog and cat populations in B.C. also, but we don’t allow people to arbitrarily kill them. The poll showed that the opposition to trophy hunting isn’t just coming from urban centres, but rural areas as well. And the revenue eco-tourism brings to the province far surpasses anything raised by trophy hunts.

It’s only a matter of time before trophy hunting becomes illegal here in B.C. The only question that remains is whether the provincial government will try and get ahead of the issue or be forced to give up their defence of the indefensible.

There are sound reasons for this.

Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds.

Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences.

One can imagine the agonizing discussion that goes on behind the scenes, as provincial and First Nations wildlife experts watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger.

Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets?

No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is the legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Trudeau should consider May for cabinet post Re: Elizabeth May — cabinet appointment petition. have been most heartened by the number of petitions currently circulating to Prime Minister-elect, Justin Trudeau, urging him to appoint our MP as his environment minister. This is a movement which all Saanich — Gulf Islands constituents should wholeheart-

I

edly support.

After four years in the wilderness, during which Ms. May could do nothing for her constituents because she could not work with the previous government, we now urgently need to get our voice back at the cabinet table.

In particular we need a small slice of the pending deluge of federal infrastructure

funds to construct an “at grade” roundabout at the Pat Bay Highway and Beacon Avenue in Sidney with a median of a trees and landscaped boulevard for at least halfa-mile on each side.

It would help to slow the traffic through the middle of our town, thus reducing emissions and facilitating the access of at least some of the three million vehicles which

now race past the entrance to our downtown each year.

However, if Mr. Trudeau does not hear our fervent pleas, at least our newly reelected MP could now work within the new government’s promise and return door-todoor mail delivery to her constituents.

Richard Talbot Sidney

Readers respond: Housing and development impacts in Sidney; Aboriginal reconciliation needed Housing growth should be fair When is a fence preferable to a hedge and trees that shelter small animals and birds?

At what point does development destroy more than build?

The answer to both, I believe, is: when the developer becomes avaricious and when the Town of Sidney becomes greedy for more taxes.

My husband and I, directly across the road from the Inkster property, understand the importance and inevitability of growth, as we, too, are local builders/renovators. While we certainly do not wish to prevent Murray Inkster from profitting from the subdivision of his parents’ land, we do, however, ask that the resultant lots be of a size that is in keeping

with what is seen in the immediate neighbourhood and that each housing unit provide parking for two cars on site.

That is fair and reasonable to all parties, therefore, acceptable.

Susan Foley Sidney

in frustration.

Our town has limited space which should be carefully guarded to maintain it’s pleasant uniqueness. Overcrowding, inferior building, increased traffic and lack of parking will quickly change our beautiful, seaside small town’s distinctive character.

I have heard many people express dissatisfaction but only few make themselves heard publicly. Is our council listening?

Shirley Fox Sidney

Overcrowding will change our town Kudos to Lynda Comber and Christine Kollofrath for their letters expressing their thoughts on the overbuilding in Sidney and the problems which occur.

Many buildings are large on small lots with many small units to accommodate as many people as possible. As a result parking becomes a problem and traffic is increased.

Reconciliation Re: Myths of the Highway of Tears (B.C. Views, Oct. 28).

Tom Fletcher’s column triggered my memory of the dog whistle politics we saw in the recent federal election.

The Highway of

Tears is not a myth and using mythology in the title of that column is an insult to the hundreds of Aboriginal families who have lost loved ones across the country.

The identity politics of the outgoing prime minister were properly rewarded, and the party that showed Stephen Harper the door at 24 Sussex Drive has promised an inquiry into the disproportionate number of murders and disappearances that continue to occur in the Aboriginal population. It would be hoped that an inquiry will begin to expose the depth and colour of systemic issues inherent in Canadian institutions that help perpetuate these tragedies, and that the new federal government will commit to real solutions from its recommendations.

The incoming prime minister has made further commitments to the 92 recommendations that came out of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) process.

The TRC has helped many Canadians to understand the origins of deep-rooted problems faced by Aboriginal communities both on and off reserve, and to help them move Canadians individually and collectively to a reconciliation commit-

ment. Those current and future problems will always be about the quality of the relationship between the First Nations people and the general nonnative population.

Improving the transportation options for people in the North is primary, but it does not solve the systemic problems that continue to poison opportunities for everyone to work together to end the dysphoria that has dominated Aboriginal

oday seems like a good time to talk about growing nut trees in your garden. When we lived on Melissa Street in Sidney I decided we should try to become as self-sufficient as we possibly could.

Having lived for nine years in Prince George where there were possibly four months without frost, I was now determined to produce everything edible, from honey to huckleberries and beyond. We built a chicken coop, fenced in a section of the back yard and purchased a bevy of handsome hens and a rooster. The neighbours complained that he crowed at the crack of dawn, so sadly we had to get rid of him. We almost got a divorce Helen Lang over who would swing the Over the Garden axe while the other held his Fence thrashing feet. It was a horrible experience for both of us.

Jim (my late husband) was a bomber pilot during the war, but never witnessed the devastation they caused — and these birds were alive and terrified.

First, one held his feet, while the other held the axe — but hadn’t the heart to swing it. Finally we let him go and the poor fellow tottered away, eyes wild, beak ajar and wings dragging on the ground.

I don’t think he ever crowed again.

Since we would need some sort of protein, I decided to grow a few nut trees. First, I tried a walnut tree, but it hated the location I had carefully chosen and within a year it died. I planted three filbert nut trees in a small group but they only lasted three years. We did get a few nuts but most of them were hollow.

As an urban farmer I was a complete failure.

So we built raised beds, filled them with good soil, augmented these with composted manure and (reluctantly) became vegetarians. But that’s no longer the case. I think my husband used to secretly visit McDonalds. I would probably have done the same thing but he had the car keys.

Anyway, I was still outside, digging, weeding, planting, watering, grinding my teeth and crying to find another half-eaten lettuce with a slug trail leading to a comfortable spot for an after dinner rest. Beastly things, slugs.

Students learn to see the world with new eyes Stelly’s Secondary’s Global Perspectives class planning trip to Nepal Carlie Connolly News staff

Stelly’s Secondary School’s the Global Perspectives course will take 24 Grade 12 students to Nepal next year, to both learn more about the culture and help the community rebuild from a devastating earthquake earlier this year.

The Global Perspectives program is offered to those in Grade 11 and 12. In Grade 11, the students focus on more of the local issues, looking at challenges in Brentwood Bay and Greater Victoria.

They touch on things like homelessness, drug addiction and cost of living. In their next year, students then look at problems internationally and ways they can assist.

Every year, Grade 12 students get the opportunity to travel to a developing country for two weeks over spring break. The 2015 trip was to Fiji, working on a project to improve school and water sanitation for a small village. Prior to that it was Nepal — which the students visited three years in a row, working on a women’s shelter.

“I think our students are always challenged by the experience but they’re there to see a different way of living to realize that not everyone in the world lives

the same way as we live in Canada and I think they’ve come back as not better people but people who are more aware of the different variety of cultures we see in the world and how their life fits into that,” said teacher Chris McDonald.

Other trips have included Peru, Belize, Cuba, Haiti and Toronto. Students must pay their own way for the trip and must fundraise for all of the materials needed for their work in Nepal.

Their big fundraising effort will be the Global Gala which takes place on Nov. 19 from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. at the school.

Three of the Grade 12 students who helped co-ordinate the Gala are looking forward to their trip and sat down to chat with the PNR about why they think it’s so important to go.

“I think the trip to Nepal is really important because when you go there, you’re not just reading out of a

book about what other cultures are like, you actually get to see it and experience it and see what it’s like to live as a Nepali person,” said Madison Paquette.

“Obviously they just had that giant earthquake last April and they need the help, because they have a government system that’s not necessarily as nice as the one ours is and it can be a little bit corrupt and a lot of people need the help that are not in the main regions

of Katmandu,” said Sidney Weeks.

“It’s been a few months after the earthquake now and its not really talked about anymore but they still need help there so it will be nice to go and help them,” added Bethany Jacobs.

In previous years, their fundraisers have seen more than $20,000 raised. This year’s goal is $25,000.

There are 75 students in total working towards the project, including the Grade

11s. Only 24 will be actually taking the trip.

Teacher Tim Storm, who works alongside McDonald in the two-year program, sees the trip in two ways.

The first is that it’s an educational opportunity for the students at Stelly’s. Second, it’s the realization by students that they can make a difference in the world.

“We don’t really say that we’re going to produce people that are going to be Mother Teresas and so on,” he said, “but really we want everybody to just realize that all people really at some level — we’re all the same.”

He added there are a lot of lessons that students at Stelly’s can learn by being exposed to other cultures.

One that he said he has seen, is the realization by the students that one can be happy without spending a huge amount of money.

“We’ll be in developing countries like Peru and Nepal and we’ll see the most impoverished conditions — and the kids are running around having a wonderful time.”

Students will travel to Nepal March 11 to 30, 2016.

Tickets for the Nov. 19 Global Gala — featuring dinner, entertainment, a silent auction and more — are available at $15 in advance at Stelly’s Secondary or at the door.

VICTORIA — New provincial seats will be created in Surrey and Richmond-New Westminster for the next B.C. election, bringing the number of MLAs in the legislature to 87.

Justice Minister Suzanne Anton tabled legislation in late October to adopt the recommendations of the latest B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission and create the two new constituencies to reflect high-growth areas of provincial population.

The commission recommended changes to boundaries to 48 existing constituencies, after public hearings since it proposed the changes this spring to balance population. It was restricted by a law that prevents the elimination of electoral districts in areas outside the urban southwest.

The latest boundaries leave a wide range of populations to be represented by a single MLA. The lowest populations are Stikine with 20,616 and North Coast with 22,382. At the other end of the scale are Vernon-Monashee, Vancouver-Fraserview and Vancouver-Kingsway, all with more than 62,000 people.

The hearings were dominated by conflicting views on changes to four areas: • Severing Hope from Chilliwack and adding it to the Fraser-Nicola constituency, which extends into the Interior to include Merritt. Princeton is added to the Boundary-Similkameen district.

• Rearranging boundaries in central Vancouver Island to create a new elec-

The B.C. Electoral Boundaries Commission is not recommending any major changes to the Saanich North and the Islands provincial riding.

Saanich North and the Islands, represented in the map to the right, is 1,519 square kilometers.

The Commission notes in its report that the population of the area will increase by approximately 6.3 per cent, to 56,492.

The Commission is proposing changes to the boundaries of Victoria-Beacon Hill and Oak BayGordon Head electoral districts and also propose moving the District of Metchosin to an electoral district that includes Colwood, View Royal and Esquimalt and that this district be named Esquimalt-Metchosin.

toral district of Mid Island-Pacific Rim, anchored by Cumberland.

• Adding a new Surrey South district, bringing the total number of seats in Surrey to nine.

• Adding a new Richmond-Queensborough district, taking in part of New Westminster.

The last review in 2008 recommended that an urban population shift should result in a reduction of one seat in the Cariboo-Thompson region and one in northern B.C. The government inter-

vened to keep those seats and increase the total constituencies from 83 to 85.

The B.C. Liberals and NDP agreed then that northern constituencies could not get any larger and still be represented by a single MLA. The 2008 review added seats in the Okanagan, Fraser Valley, Surrey, BurnabyTri-Cities and downtown Vancouver.

Finger Eleven back with Five Crooked Lines James Black talks about the Canadian band’s latest work and his solo album Carlie Connolly News staff

H

alloween night saw a packed crowd flow into the Bodine Hall at the Mary Winspear Centre, bobbing their heads and dancing to the music of Finger Eleven.

Lead guitarist James Black sat down with the PNR to talk about the tour, their music and his own solo release.

On the road since June after releasing their latest album, Five Crooked Lines, Black said the Canadian leg of their Fall of the Hammer Tour, which began in the U.S., has been the most exciting.

Victoria-area band The Zoo Riots opened in Sidney, followed by regular opening act Head of the Herd.

“We’re living proof that one gig can really make a career,” Black said of the band’s contest to seek out local talent, which The Zoo Riots won. “So, that’s another reason why it’s cool to do this.”

Black and bassist Rick Jackett, produced a couple of tracks on Head of the Herd’s last record and wanted to work with them.

“They’re great guys, good band,” said Black, adding a lot of modern rock sounds the same, but noted Head of the Herd is different.

Finger Eleven’s newest album, Five Crooked Lines, is the title of one of the songs on the album and comes from a few ideas. Black said that in one sense, it’s a couple of bent sticks, but if you arrange them properly, they make the shape of a star — “one of the most glorious things in the universe.”

“Part of it is about making something out of nothing. But then it’s also about the fortune of once you’ve made a star, a star only lives for so long before it falls or before it explodes,” he said.

Guitarist James Black of Finger Eleven jams out on stage Halloween Night at the Mary Winspear Centre.

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Lead singer Scott Anderson holds out a torch given to him by a fan and points it to the large crowd of Halloween goers.

Group Benefits

He added he sees it as trying to acknowledge that those heights aren’t permanent.

“You have to enjoy them while they’re happening because the fall is always inevitable.”

Their new album, which they booked 12 days in a studio to make the whole thing, is much different than their other albums in its tone and rawness.

“It’s just five guys on stage doing everything to the extent of our abilities to play our song. There’s no fake tracks, there’s no extra stuff running somewhere else.”

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Black and Jackett developed a sort of obsession with producing and Black added that when it comes to being guitar players in a rock and roll band, they didn’t want all of the bells and whistles.

Finger Eleven took a five-year break between albums, leaving many to wonder why.

Part of the reason was a line-up change as they had a drummer leave, leaving the band, according to Black, a different organism.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, November 4, 2015

Local writers accept challenge of pantomime News staff

Despite challenges and complexities, the team behind Jack and the Beanstalk has been hard at work, preparing for the Christmas traditional pantomime performance.

Put on by the Peninsula Players, the show is co-written and directed in a first time collaboration by England-born Allan Haynes and John Watts, who have worked on filling the performance with humour and audience participation to make it appeal to all ages.

“We looked up the traditional story and there seemed to be a lot of flexibility to make it funny and entertaining,” said Haynes.

“In terms of writing, there’s a lot of stuff that’s in the script … parts of panto (pantomime) are traditional.

There are certain sketches that just show up,” added Watt.

Pantomime originated in Italy some 400 to 500 years ago. With a long theatrical history, it developed partly

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Co-writers and directors, Allan Haynes left and John Watts talk about the Peninsula Players’ production of Jack and the Beanstalk. from the 16th century commedia dell’arte, a form of improvisational theatre characterized by masked ‘types.’

Christmas is the traditional time to see a panto. Often the plays have nothing to do with Christmas.

“Because it became very popular in England and tended to be around the Christmas

period because people had some time off, it became a family tradition,” said Watts, who used to go as a child to performances on Boxing Day. One of the challenges for the production is taking into consideration it being a family show. Haynes said that since there are multiple generations of one fam-

ily coming to see the show together, they had to make it enjoyable, building something in that would apply to all age groups.

“You want something

that the kids will enjoy, which tends to be more visual and slapstick type of entertainment,” he said.

Haynes wrote most of the first draft of the script, running through the plot and establishing the characters while Watts added in jokes and a few sketches, later working on bits together.

Aside from the challenge of making the play appeal to all age groups, the cast themselves was their next challenge. That is something the two writers look back at with a quick laugh as they remember the constant adjustment.

“We wrote the script and we were happy with it. We auditioned, we cast it and we got an atypical mix of people turning up,” said Watts.

NEWS REVIEW

Head of the Herd delivers solid opening Carlie Connolly News staff

Carlie Connolly/News staff

Lead singer of Head of the Herd, Neu Mannas performs during their opening set for Finger Eleven in Sidney Oct. 31.

With their third album out, Head of the Herd has been on the road with Finger Eleven on the Fall of the Hammer Tour.

A Vancouver-based band, Head of the Herd played many songs on Halloween night from their newest album released in September, Birds on the Roof, to which the crowd went wild. The sound was a sort of bluesy modern rock.

The album, their most ambitious to date, was recorded in four countries with multiple producers and it was preceded by their other record,

By This Time Tomorrow, which was also a hit for the band.

On stage, lead singer Neu Mannas gave a shoutout to Finger Eleven as guitarist James Black and bassist Rick Jackett produced some of the songs on one of their albums.

At one point in the performance, Mannas sang on his back, asking the audience to get down low. Holding the microphone in the air, he helped build up the momentum to the beat, rising as the crowd then got to their feet.

The band will be finishing off the tour with Finger Eleven in Toronto Nov. 20. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Fans enjoying new work Continued from page 11

With their long break, he said they were able to decide which way they were going to move with their new album, which fans seem to enjoy.

In the interim, Black made his own record last year called Moon Boot Cocoon, which he said is all about perpetuating creativity.

“It’s just songs that accumulated over time touring that ... just don’t fit with Finger Eleven.”

At the end of the performance on Halloween and at other shows, Black gets the opportunity to do an acoustic song and he continues to work on his own separate music at times, which he said the guys have been very supportive of.

“That’s been growing in me … sort of being a singer and an artist.”

Vision Matters

Teams let loose 20-goal barrage Peninsula Panthers score nine times but Westshore pumps in 11 goals NORTH SAANICH — One doesn’t often see high-scoring hockey games but the Peninsula Panthers’ match against the Westshore Wolves Friday, Oct. 30 saw 20 goals between the two teams.

Westshore jumped out to an early 1-0 lead in a fastpaced first period and from all accounts at that stage, nothing appeared out of the norm.

The fans filed into the lobby area for refreshments and fellowship at the end of 20 minutes and the two teams went over strategies in their locker rooms.

As soon as the puck was dropped to start the second frame, the game changed drastically. When the final buzzer sounded, players, coaches, referees and fans were all talking about a game that was like no other.

The Panthers’ Josh Poland tied the game up for the Panthers only 1:12 into the second stanza. That started a scoring free-for-all that ended at the 19:50 mark on a Wolves’ tally by Cory Hatcher. It was Hatcher’s third goal of the period and capped off an eightgoal spree for his club. The Panthers scored five of their own with Michael Sproule, Kai Turner, Ryan Warner and Cam Thompson adding to Poland’s

The Panthers came up short in a 20-goal barrage. earlier marker.

At the end of the period, the Wolves were up, 9-5. It appeared as though the game for all intents and purposes was decided.

The Wolves opened up a 10-5 lead on an unassisted goal by Matteo Giomo at the 2:06 mark of the final period

but then the ghosts of Halloween popped up once again.

Koby Hale, Trevor Owens, Turner and Thompson all scored to bring the Panthers within a goal at 10-9 with 5:36 remaining in this crazy affair.

The crowd was roaring with every opportunity as the Panthers swarmed in an attempt

to knot the game at 10-10.

With only two minutes left, Panthers’ rookie Ben Dawson found himself eight feet from the Wolves’ cage with not a player in sight including Wolves’ goaltender Leighton Williams.

Cast challenges kept writers hopping on Beanstalk Continued from page 13

Normally for Peninsula Players shows, they expect to get several middle-aged women, a few young girls in the 18 to 25 year range, maybe two to three men and some kids.

Having written the play structured around that expected mix of characters, Watts said they got practically no middleaged women, virtually no younger women, nine adult males and three kids.

With all of the males, they had no parts for them and so adjustments had to be made.

“It was a quick scramble back to the drawing board, create parts, make some parts bigger, shuffle things around, write in new scenes,” said Watts.

They later had to rearrange once again as 30 per cent of their cast dropped out before the first rehearsal due to other commitments around the dates of the play and a three-day-a-week rehearsal schedule.

Some later changed their minds, remaining part of the cast, which Watts said meant it

was back to the drawing board again.

In terms of the gender in pantomime, Haynes said it’s flexible, as the main character of Jack is

actually a 14-year-old girl.

“We wanted a woman because that’s traditional and it’s also tradition to make it a relatively young woman,” he said.

In the beginning of the performance, there is a warm up that takes place, letting the audience know that participation is encouraged.

The cast (usually the good guy) will ask the audience to warn them if they see anybody looking dangerous, really getting them involved.

“They have to react to something they see on stage and during the course of the show, practically every character has a go at doing what the audience has got to stop them doing,” said Watts.

With 10 scenes and four set changes, the two men added in something they’ve never done before — two magic illusions in the style of David Copperfield. They have just started incorporating those into rehearsals now.

The play will take place at The Berwick Royal Oak (next to Howard Johnson Inn) on Dec. 11 and 12 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 13 at 2 p.m. It will also take place at the Charlie White Theatre (Mary Winspear Centre) on Dec. 18, 19 and 28 at 7:30 p.m. and Dec. 20, 26 and 27 at 2 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased at the Charlie White Theatre Box Office or at the door one hour prior to curtain or at ‘Dig This’ in the Broadmead Centre Mall. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
