officers recognized by communitySIDNEY — Two Sidney North Saanich
RCMP officers have been recognized for their work with the Drug Abuse Resistance
Education (DARE) program — which for both constables Dan Steffes and Ravi Gunasinghe has lasted more than 10 years.
Steffes was honoured recently in a cultural ceremony at the Tsartlip Band Office for being a positive influence. He received a ceremonial wrap from Band Councillor Simon Smith Jr. He also was presented with an Award of Distinction
on behalf of the Commanding Officer of the RCMP in British Columbia.
Gunasinghe has recently transitioned from his role as the Sidney/North Saanich Detachment’s Community Policing Officer, and at a recent appreciation dinner, Cpl Scott Hilderley of the RCMP’s Drugs and Organized Crime Awareness Service presented him with an Award of Distinction on behalf of the Commanding Officer of the RCMP in British Columbia.

The RCAF Hornets dragon boat team is seen racing at the 250 metre Gorge Super Sprint in May. The team is busy training for the upcoming Victoria Dragon Boat Festival on Aug. 15-17.
Andrea PeacockNews staff
Dragon boaters from the Peninsula and the rest of their team are hoping to row their way to victory at the 20th Victoria Dragon Boat Festival
on Aug. 15-17. The RCAF Hornets is a first-year team
made up mostly of members of 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force, based at the Victoria International Airport.
Hornets’ team manager Dan High, 54, had never dragon boated until this year. The first time he saw a dragon boat race was at the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival last year and now his team will be competing in that same event.
The team currently consists of 21 members, six of which are from the Saanich Peninsula.
“It looked like a lot of fun,” said High, the squadron’s chief warrant officer. “I didn’t realize how much work it was.”
High, a Central Saanich resident, found learning how to paddle to be the hardest part of dragon boating.
“A lot of people think it’s all arm strength, but it’s all leg and core strength,” he said.
The Hornets participated in the Nanaimo Dragon Boat festival at the beginning of July, where they placed third in their division — jade — the third of five divisions.
High said they were surprised to do as well as they did for their first year.
Participating in the festivals is the best part of it, said High.
“On the water it’s all business, but off the water it’s a very friendly community.”
Andrew Noris, 24, first started dragon boating about five months ago when the team was put together.
Noris, an engineering support officer at the squadron, lives in North Saanich.
He said he enjoys the competitiveness of dragon boating and the camaraderie of working together with members of his squadron, which he said comes naturally for them.
“The biggest thing is the technique and to get that right,” said Noris.
Noris said he thinks they have a good chance of doing well at the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival because of their success so far.
“Even some of the other teams told us they’re really impressed with how well we’ve come just with our first season,” he said.
Bonnie Leung, supply technician with 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron, only moved to Brentwood Bay just over a month ago from North Bay, Ontario, and yet she has already practiced with the team around half a dozen times.
She joined the team because she had never dragon boated before and wanted to give it a try.
“Pretty much I was hooked after the first time,” said Leung, 47, adding she enjoys the workout.
While keeping up with some of the younger people on team can be a challenge, Leung said that is also the fun part.
Leung is excited for the upcoming festival in Victoria because it will be her first race.
“It’s a good chance to get to know other people too,” she said.
For Les Hayter, storesperson at the squadron’s headquarters, the hardest part of dragon boating has been practicing on nights when the weather has not been good.
The team started practicing at the end of March when the weather was dry, but that did not last.
“We kind of hit a colder, wet spell in April,” said Hayter. “That weeded out the people that weren’t quite so motivated as some of the rest of us.”
Hayter, 52, said he most enjoys the physical aspect of dragon boating. Living in Sidney for the past 15 years, Hayter often goes to the Saanich Peninsula Crossfit.
“[Dragon boating] was another aspect of fitness for me,” said Hayter.
He also said he enjoys building team spirit with people from work in a more relaxed, social environment.
“You get to see people from work that you normally don’t see during the day,” he said.
The Victoria Dragon Boat Festival starts on Friday, Aug. 15, with the races happening on the Saturday and Sunday at the Inner Harbour in Victoria.

Boittiaux is a kidney patient herself and well aware of the benefits of the Kidney Foundation of Canada.
“I only became more involved with the Foundation in the last couple of years,” she explained.
“I’ve had three kidney surgeries and a kidney removed and afterwards I felt so alone. When I got involved with the Victoria chapter of the Foundation I found that I wasn’t alone at all.
“My hope is that all people who are newly diagnosed with kidney problems will know they
have somewhere to turn and the Victoria Kidney Walk helps with that.”
The funds raised through the walks, which happen all over B.C. and Canada this month and next, go to the Kidney Foundation which supports people like Boittiaux and the Wallace family from North Saanich.
Coen Wallace, now four years old, lives with his mother, Tanis, father, Chris and brother Layton. He was born with diseased kidneys and spent the first two years of his life hooked up to a dialysis machine. Fortunately for the family, in November of 2012 after working with the Kidney
Foundation, they found a donor match for Coen. He received a new kidney in February of 2013 and is now happier and healthier than ever.
According to the Kidney Foundation, one out of every 10 British Columbians suffer from Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD). In the past ten years there is an inexplicable increase of 60% and with no cure, there is a pressing need to raise money for kidney disease research and patient care.

Management knew of errors since 2009, hid problemJeff NagelBlack Press
VANCOUVER — ICBC is preparing to mail out 309,000 refund cheques ranging from $1 to $350 to optional auto insurance customers it overcharged since 2008.
Wrong rates were used because of incorrect descriptions assigned years ago to many vehicles that are only now being fixed.
The average customer who overpaid all six years will get a refund of around $108, ICBC spokesman Adam Grossman said. The cheques will begin to go out around Aug. 20.
The average overpayment was $18 per year. The refunds plus interest being paid total nearly $38 million.
Nearly 370,000 other motorists were undercharged because of the glitches.
ICBC won’t go after them for the $53 million in lost revenue.
The faulty vehicle descriptions affected only optional insurance, not basic rates. The refunds were calculated as part of two independent external reviews that checked
millions of insurance transactions over the past six years.
Auditors concluded ICBC knew the problem was systemic as early as 2009 but management hid it from ICBC’s board of directors until mid-2013. Various fixes were contemplated but discarded, according to the report.
ICBC managers feared a solution might harm its relationship with brokers and that disclosure of inaccurate pricing would hurt ICBC’s business position against optional insurance competitors.
The corporation ultimately opted to fix the errors and issue refunds as part of its sweeping $400-million technology upgrade program.
The long-running overcharges were finally made public in April by Transportation Minister Todd Stone — only after he was directly questioned by the media.
ICBC’s board had intended to wait until it had a refund strategy ready to roll out.
Customers renewing their auto insurance since July have been required to update their vehicle’s descriptions, Grossman said.
The error isn’t expected to recur because ICBC’s modernized system will pull the correct description from the vehicle identification numbers, instead of being entered manually by Autoplan agents.

How about a speed bump?
I have been using the McTavish/Pat Bay interchange since its opening but am seriously thinking of avoiding it in future due to one particularly bad spot where Canora joins the roundabout.
It is almost a straight line from Canora to the exit south to Victoria and despite the obvious signage to give way, many motorists drive straight through without stopping.
It can be quite stressful driving around the circle and wondering if the fast approaching vehicle on Canora is going to stop for you.
Maybe a speed bump, (or stop sign as a last resort), at this location would be an added reminder to give way to traffic
on the roundabout. It would be interesting to know the statistics for accidents at this location.
With more traffic from housing development on Canora and airport expansion in the future, the problem will only get worse.

Speak up nowHere is some free
advice to the province, the teachers and parents.
The provincial government: you have the ability to end this debacle prior to September. Do it. Stop playing silly games that affect the lives of our children. Negotiate in good faith or legislate.
Teachers: don’t flex your muscles by going on strike in September. That is what the government wants, so they can point to you
as the bad guys while saving a pot of money — money which they’ll use to pay off parents. Go back to work, keep on negotiating and tell the public what is happening during the negotiations. Get the public on your side.
Parents: Why have you not risen up? Your children are being used. This whole thing has to be settled before September.

Re: Proposed pedestrian overpass — Beacon Avenue at Highway 17.
I have been following council meeting minutes and news releases and editorials in the Peninsula News Review and offer some suggestions for your consideration.
I am pleased that the Town of Sidney and partners are moving ahead with this much needed project. However, with the high cost, which I understand could now be as high as $3.5 million, I wonder if other less expensive options have been thoroughly explored.
Some years ago pedestrian safety became an issue at the intersection of Wain Road at Highway 17. Subsequently a modern pedestrian overpass
was constructed at that location. A few years later the provincial highways department constructed a full interchange for vehicular traffic only feet away from the pedestrian overpass. This new interchange and overpass also incorporated into their design and construction, safe, wide, bicycle lanes and sidewalks which connected with bicycle lanes on both Wain Road and McDonald Park Road.
The stand alone pedestrian overpass is very rarely used as pedestrians and cyclists use the new overpass which provides easier access, a shorter route both ways and connects directly with new bicycle lanes on Wain Road and McDonald Park. There is now an unnecessary, and rarely used pedestrian overpass
sitting at the Wain Road and Highway 17 intersection. It is a new structure meeting all earthquake standards and has a span that would easily cross the Highway 17 intersection at Beacon Avenue.
So my suggestion is that all partners involved in this project explore a much cheaper option by constructing the required concrete abutments at Beacon and the highway and lifting the pedestrian span and the ramps and move them south and place them on the new abutments to where they are now needed.
I am sure this would be a big saving to all tax payers concerned and at much less cost would provide both locations with the safe pedestrian highway crossing.

OUR VIEW
The B.C. government’s intentions for the Agricultural Land Reserve have been
clarified by a public consultation that proposes new commercial and industrial uses on farmland.
Political watchers may recall that this was the hill the NDP was prepared to die on this spring. It was going to be a farmland looting spree for right-wing property developers and all hope of “food security” would be dashed.
As I attempted to explain at the time, the changes have little or nothing to do with ALR exclusions. Now a discussion paper poses a series of questions, some of which illustrate the need to bring farmland regulations up to date.
The first one deals with restrictions on retail sales, a case study in arbitrary state control. There is a strict maximum floor space. A minimum one half of retail sales must be produced on that farm. Food packing, preparation and processing are similarly restricted.
This requires multiple duplicate operations of questionable viability. It brings to mind Mao Tse Tung’s Great Leap Forward, where farmers all had little iron smelting furnaces out back to make tools. But I digress.
“Amongst other things,” the discussion paper says, “lessening the restrictions on on-farm processing
could allow the establishment of abbatoirs (large, small or mobile) on farms, to serve surrounding cattle, game or poultry farms.” Then there’s cheese, fruit juice and even medical marijuana products.
And did you know that wineries and cideries are allowed on farmland but breweries, distilleries and meaderies aren’t? (Mead is made
from honey, and doesn’t have to be drunk from a bronze mug while wearing a horned helmet.)
Now that we’ve discovered that breweries don’t have to be giant urban industrial plants producing mediocre lager that all tastes the same, possibilities abound.
On-farm wine and cider sales have similarly quaint retail space and product origin restrictions. The
government proposes to allow sales of products not made on site, as long as they’re made in B.C.
This could make more local retail beverage co-ops viable. Or it could spawn a wave of unregulated rural liquor stores that create chaos on country roads. You decide.
On a more serious note, there are a couple of questions about changes to the newly created “zone two,” the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. One repeats the government’s intention to open up non-farm use rules to allow certain oil and gas service functions on farmland. This
is to reflect the reality already on the ground in the Northeast. What other non-farm activities it may entail is not yet known, as the consultation and regional meetings continue until Aug. 22.
There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway.
And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.”
NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.”
It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Join in the Kidney WalkI
n North Saanich, there is a living, breathing example for how a community’s generosity — and that of a charitable organization — has helped save his life.
Young Coen Wallace was born with diseased kidneys and spent the first part of his life hooked up to machines. With the help of the Kidney Foundation of Canada, his family found a donor and Coen received a new kidney in February, 2013. The latest news we have is Coen is a happy and
healthy young man.
The Wallace family is one of many working with the Kidney Foundation for
treatment, transplants, education and more. Their success in finding a positive outcome to a very serious health issue, is one of many stories of people who are living longer thanks to the work of the Foundation and groups like them.
Yet, there are still others in need and that’s why we’re getting behind the Victoria Kidney Walk at Clover Point this Sunday, Aug. 17.
Last year, organizers said they had around 100 people join the walk and help raise money. This time, we’re hoping for more.
There are people in our communities waiting for new kidneys and ongoing treatment for chronic conditions. Your monetary donations help.
The walk and the case of young Coen also raises the profile of the need in this province — and across Canada — for an increase in the potential organ donor pool. Taking the step to be such a donor takes a lot of thought and discussion with one’s family. It’s a serious issue and one that goes beyond a single weekend fundraiser.
So start small with the Victoria Kidney Walk and have an immediate impact on the lives of people in your community.
‘... The changes have nothing to do with ALR exclusions.’

How about a speed bump?
I have been using the McTavish/Pat Bay interchange since its opening but am seriously thinking of avoiding it in future due to one particularly bad spot where Canora joins the roundabout.
It is almost a straight line from Canora to the exit south to Victoria and despite the obvious signage to give way, many motorists drive straight through without stopping.
It can be quite stressful driving around the circle and wondering if the fast approaching vehicle on Canora is going to stop for you.
Maybe a speed bump, (or stop sign as a last resort), at this location would be an added reminder to give way to traffic
on the roundabout. It would be interesting to know the statistics for accidents at this location.
With more traffic from housing development on Canora and airport expansion in the future, the problem will only get worse.

Speak up nowHere is some free
advice to the province, the teachers and parents.
The provincial government: you have the ability to end this debacle prior to September. Do it. Stop playing silly games that affect the lives of our children. Negotiate in good faith or legislate.
Teachers: don’t flex your muscles by going on strike in September. That is what the government wants, so they can point to you
as the bad guys while saving a pot of money — money which they’ll use to pay off parents. Go back to work, keep on negotiating and tell the public what is happening during the negotiations. Get the public on your side.
Parents: Why have you not risen up? Your children are being used. This whole thing has to be settled before September.

Re: Proposed pedestrian overpass — Beacon Avenue at Highway 17.
I have been following council meeting minutes and news releases and editorials in the Peninsula News Review and offer some suggestions for your consideration.
I am pleased that the Town of Sidney and partners are moving ahead with this much needed project. However, with the high cost, which I understand could now be as high as $3.5 million, I wonder if other less expensive options have been thoroughly explored.
Some years ago pedestrian safety became an issue at the intersection of Wain Road at Highway 17. Subsequently a modern pedestrian overpass
was constructed at that location. A few years later the provincial highways department constructed a full interchange for vehicular traffic only feet away from the pedestrian overpass. This new interchange and overpass also incorporated into their design and construction, safe, wide, bicycle lanes and sidewalks which connected with bicycle lanes on both Wain Road and McDonald Park Road.
The stand alone pedestrian overpass is very rarely used as pedestrians and cyclists use the new overpass which provides easier access, a shorter route both ways and connects directly with new bicycle lanes on Wain Road and McDonald Park. There is now an unnecessary, and rarely used pedestrian overpass
sitting at the Wain Road and Highway 17 intersection. It is a new structure meeting all earthquake standards and has a span that would easily cross the Highway 17 intersection at Beacon Avenue.
So my suggestion is that all partners involved in this project explore a much cheaper option by constructing the required concrete abutments at Beacon and the highway and lifting the pedestrian span and the ramps and move them south and place them on the new abutments to where they are now needed.
I am sure this would be a big saving to all tax payers concerned and at much less cost would provide both locations with the safe pedestrian highway crossing.

Be Septic Savvy This SummerPLEASE KEEP OFF THE GRASS.
TIP SIX
It’s important to make sure your drainfield is left as undisturbed as possible. To protect your septic drainfield, a layer of grass is the best cover. Mow it to keep weeds down and leave it undisturbed. No parking, driving or building on it. And divert downspouts away from the drainfield to avoid saturation.
Stay informed.
A bylaw is in effect in Saanich,
Colwood, Langford & View Royal, stay informed about the
requirements for your septic system.

I absolutely love writing this column. I have met so many lovely people over the years because they phone or write me to share some gardening information or to ask a question —
and we become friends. I am always so impressed when
someone takes the time to write a note or make a phone call. I’m so grateful that after all this time, people are still reading Over the Garden Fence. I realize that most of us love our gardens, the changing seasons and the bounty that nature provides (with a little bit of help from us).
I recently received two letters, which the editor hand delivered (I’m getting spoiled). One letter was about an Easter lily that Heather had given her mother just before her Mum died. This lily is now planted in Heather’s garden. In 2005 it produced one blossom but each year since it has added one more bloom. There are now nine and Heather has decided it can’t count because there should be ten.
The second letter contained an invitation from Judy M. to visit her garden (she wrote that would pick me up) where I could pick and bring home as many hydrangea blossoms as I can carry. I promise not to be a pig, but I am going to take her up on her generous offer. To my delight she lives so close I could walk there and parade home carrying my “loot” (looking like a mobile flowering shrub with skinny legs).
Now, back at the ranch, as they say in cowboy movies, what has been going on? That glorious white Oriental lily has tossed off its last petals and is now standing there looking forlorn. It now has to
be left after being watered and ferilized, until its stem turns yellow, at which time it may be allowed to die back for this season.
The zinnias in their long narrow container are looking strong (it seems zinnias always do) and continue to flower but I have added those nasturtium seeds to the container, so there will be something coming on when the zinnias begin to look kind of peaked. The clematis, which was such a disappointment to me, is now dying back and I’m going to replace it with the Jackmanni I wanted in the first place. I will give this plant to some unwary friend.
I’ll confess it’s not the glamorous beauty I had hoped for and I suggest it be planted somewhere it need not be a feature, just a filler (behind the garage, maybe). And still those faithful pansies and petunias, go on, not expecting any praise, just humbly producing a few flowers, hoping for some water and maybe the odd pat on the back for just enduring a roaring hot summer on a west-facing balcony.
The hibiscus and the rose seem to have enjoyed their stay outdoors and promise to bloom when they are returned inside. “They better,” said she, glaring at them threateningly, recalling all those gallons of water transported from the bathtub, all the way outside.
Suddenly it has clouded over. Do you suppose we might get some rain? It would be welcome for sure unless, of course, you had planned to go camping.

This is the final story in a series on the variety of summer markets on the Saanich Peninsula
Devon MacKenzieNews staff
A new market on the Saanich Peninsula is hoping to bring more energy to Sidney on Sundays.
The Sidney Summer Market, held in the field of the Mary Winspear Centre,
began on June 1 and will run until Thanksgiving. Organizer Ed Price said the market is growing steadily and he hopes to see it blossom even more.
“The nice part about being in behind the (Mary) Winspear Centre is that we have the space,” Price explained.
“We have space to host around 200 vendors. Right now we have between 20 and 25 vendors a week and it’s growing. The most we’ve had is 40 and we’ll see those higher numbers back once September rolls around and people are less busy.”
Price said he has been working to start a Sunday market on the Peninsula for a few years
“I ran Touch of Saltspring and I was on the board
of the SBA, so I had experience with these types of events. I had the idea in my head because many of the Touch of Saltspring vendors were looking for another venue to sell their wares. Last year I looked at maybe doing a market at Sandown and this year it finally came together at the Winspear,” he said.
The market has a good mix of vendors, he continued, and he said he expects to see more and more attend the market as it becomes better established.
“It was time for an event on Sunday in Sidney. We need that draw to the town on the weekend,” said Price.
The market is not juried, meaning anyone is welcome to rent a booth. Some of the items for sale at the market include jewellery, woodworking, cedar baskets, Tupperware, Avon, clothing, produce (especially berries), dolls, fishing lures, knitting, sewing and baking. Different food vendors also attend the market week to week and there’s also occasionally some musical entertainment.
For more information on the market, call 250-655-0967.

Editor’s note: This column originally ran Fri., Aug. 8, however a portion of it was not included in that edition. Here is the article in its entirety.
Having spent seven years in my early career as an on-site executive of Great
Canadian Oil Sands (now Suncor) — Canada’s pioneer developer and first successful extractor of oil from this massive all-Canadian resource — I feel compelled to comment on the increasing tendency by many to criticize this economic crown jewel.
Not one Canadian province, nor individual citizen, fails to benefit from the existence of our oil sands industry. According to the Canadian Energy Research Institute (CERI), this sector currently accounts for 75,000 direct jobs across Canada. This number is expected to grow to 900,000 over the next 25 years.
Canada’s oil sands are recognized today as the world’s third-largest proven crude oil reserve after Saudi Arabia and Venezuela. Our oil sands produce almost two million barrels of crude oil every day; this is forecast to double in the next 15 years.
Oil sands producers already deliver about half of Canada’s total oil production. Without it, instead of exporting oil, Canada would need to be a major importer of oil — at huge cost to Canada’s economy, and thus, to every citizen.
Few critics seem aware that Alberta, from this rich natural resource, contributes almost $20 billion annually to federal coffers, more than it benefits from federal spending. Without this resource, every Canadian’s standard of living would be negatively affected; income taxes would be higher and services more constrained.
Recent vacillation by the U.S. in approving the Keystone XL Pipeline to its Texas refineries, Endbridge’s proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline and the proposed Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion have spotlighted our oil sands sector — much of it resulting in negative and often poorly-informed, commentary. Through the 1970s and ‘80s, G.C.O.S., as the oil sands pioneer, struggled valiantly, at
heavy financial cost, to perfect its oil sand extraction technology. In those years, to produce 50,000 barrels a day was a major accomplishment. And yes, compared to today, the effort was environmentally very inefficient. Tailings pond technology was limited; clean-air technology was in its infancy; and many environmental problems remained to
be overcome. Few Canadians took note. The oil sands was, initially, a very minor contributor to our national oil production.
Since then, some 15 producers have collectively spent billions on upgrading the environmental efficiency of each barrel produced. We should expect continued research and improvement — not a cessation of growth.
In the early ‘70s, about 3,500 people lived in Fort McMurray. Today, almost 100,000 Canadians live in the area, enjoying average family incomes of $180,000 annually — almost three times the Canadian average. A huge share of this exceptional income is paid in personal income taxes.
Some cast aspersions at this valuable resource and its need for increased pipeline capacity to efficiently move oil sands product to markets. Why not instead embrace our good national fortune and deploy our collective energies to forge constructive solutions which employ the latest environmental, pipeline and shipping technologies so all Canadians may continue to share in these ever-increasing benefits?
Without question, our indigenous peoples should be strong economic partners and beneficiaries of the efficient transport of oil through British Columbia. David Black’s initiative to build a Kitimat refinery which would upgrade heavy oil prior to tanker transport, deserves careful consideration as part of a national solution. Surely we recognize increased oil production will be exported somehow — if not through efficient pipelines then by ever-increasing rail transport which presents a higher safety and spill-risk.
Elizabeth May deserves great respect and our thanks for the civility, accountability and hard work ethic. I do wish she too would lend more of her constructive
leadership in the effort to find positive solutions to the legitimate safety and environmental issues associated with pipelines and oil tanker transports.
We should be proud of the technological innovation which has made oil sands development not only possible, but also such a significant contributor to our GDP. Rather than oppose further progress, let’s instead find solutions that allow this industry to continue to contribute to our national welfare, just as we have in the past, allowed other vital industries such as airlines, railways and highway transport to grow and prosper.
All of these industries represent safety and environmental issues. While we continue to hold them all to high safety and environmental standards, we do not seek to limit their growth. Why should the oil sands industry and the transport systems it requires be treated differently to our nation’s, and our, detriment?

An event on the Saanich Peninsula is expected to draw a large crowd to Sidney later this month.
The Vancouver Island Motor Gathering, hosted by the German Auto Import Network, will take place Sunday, Aug. 17 at the Viscount Aero Centre in Sidney (9800 McDonald Park Rd.) from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Admission to the event, which will feature an array of classic, unique, modern and custom cars and airplanes on display, face painting, radio operated cars, a bouncy castle, Tom Thumb pedal cars, live music, craft stations, raffle and a barbecue, is by donation. Proceeds will go to the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island as well as the Saanich
Peninsula Hospital Foundation (SPHF).
“We’re looking forward to the Vancouver Island Motor
Gathering event,” said Karen Morgan, the executive director of the SPHF.
“The money raised
from the show is going to go towards our CT scanner,” she explained, adding that the foundation is
getting close to their goal of being able to purchase it.
“We have raised 2.3 million so far and we are looking to raise 2.4 million total so we are almost there,” said Morgan.
Black Press is also a sponsor of the event
and will be partnering with the Salmon Farmers Association of B.C. and Truffles Catering to put on a salmon barbecue.
“We will be serving salmon burgers and coleslaw by donation with all proceeds going to the two charities this
event is supporting,” said Oliver Sommer, the director of advertising sales for Black Press Greater Victoria.
The SPHF will also be live-auctioning a 1990 Rolls Royce Silver Spirit II at 1 p.m. with all proceeds going back to them.

Cosmetic Advantages
Many people choose to wear contact lenses instead of their glasses for the cos-metic advantage. They fi t closely to your eyes so that few people notice that you are wearing corrective lenses. However, this is just one of several advantages of wearing contact lenses.
Contacts permit a wider fi eld of vision than eyeglasses. There is no frame to get in your line of sight when you look to the left, right, up or down. The close fi t presents a less distorted and more realistic view of the world around us. A tendency to allow for more effi cient eye coordination is still an-other advantage, particularly in sports.
They do require more conscientious care than glasses, because they must be kept clean, free of irritants and harmful bacteria. If you think you would like to wear contacts, ask your Optometrist if he or she would rec-ommend them for you.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A13
Devon MacKenzieNews staff
Local author Janet Brons, who had her first book A Quiet Kill published in April, has already started penning the sequel.
“The whole thing has been a very exciting period in my life,” said Brons, who lives in Sidney.
“The series was unexpected, but the publisher was keen on it so it’s very exciting. The only problem is the first book was written without the plan of a series so theres a few corners I’ll have to write myself out of,” Brons laughed.
Brons, who worked for the Canadian Foreign Service for 17 years as a diplomat spent three of her postings abroad in different cities: Kuala Lumpur, Warsaw and Moscow. She says many of the themes in the book came from her experiences working in foreign affairs.
“I actually drafted this book back in 1997 between leaving the Foreign Service and starting my own consulting company,” Brons explained of A Quiet Kill.
“I put it away in a drawer one day, and
when I moved to Sidney
from back east to be closer to my ageing parents, I pulled it out again to see if I could dust it off again,” she said.
A Quiet Kill is a murder mystery, Brons said, featuring the characters of Forsyth and Hay. Paired up for the first time, the two investigators must overcome insecurities and suspicions as they find themselves wading into the murky waters of the diplomatic community, and navigating through a melee of international conspiracy, militant nationalism and murder.
“I always loved murder mysteries and foreign affairs so the two seemed like a good marriage for the book,” laughed Brons, who said the prospect
of having her first book out in the public eye was daunting.
“It’s a combination of excitement and terror,” she smiled.
“Even though the book is purely fictional you can’t help but have bits and pieces of yourself appear in the characters and to know that people will be reading this little piece
of you is a bit scary.”Brons is working with
publisher TouchWood Editions in Victoria to solidify the second book in the series.
“I just finished up the manuscript for the second book and I think we’re looking at the fall of 2015 for its release,” said Brons.
Brons said the reaction from her book
so far has been good, but it can take up to six months to get an idea of exactly how well it is selling.
“It’s pretty exciting to have it in all the major bookstores,” she said, adding that Sidney Pharmasave has also been really supportive.
“That’s really nice because it’s a local connection. We’re
working on having a book signing on August 27 at the store which will be wonderful,” she said.
A Quiet Kill is available at most book stores or online at amazon.ca. For more information visit Brons’ website at members.shaw.ca/janetbrons.

Under-privileged children will soon have access to free dental care thanks to a society started by a local dentist.
Dr. Mitra Hashemi, a Sidney dentist at her own practice, Coast Dental Care, started ORCCA, or Oral Care for Children and Adolescents.
Construction of the ORCCA office began at the beginning of June and is now in the final stages of renovation. It is set to open in September at the annex building at Sidney Elementary School.
The program targets children whose families earn between $21,000 and $40,000 a year and who do not have dental coverage or insurance. These families are otherwise unable to apply for B.C.’s Healthy Kids program, which is only eligible for those making less than $21,000 a year.
“I’m pretty sure we’re going to touch a lot of lives,” said Hashemi.
Although ORCCA has yet to officially open, Hashemi has been visiting some of those patients at her own office until they can be transferred.
“Some kids, they’re in pain,” said Hashemi.
“You have to do something; you can’t just stand around.”
While Hashemi is the only dentist fully committed to the society so far, she said she has had interest from other dentists, including orthodontist Dr. Vohn Rosang. Rosang has offered to accept five
patients per year through ORCCA, said Hashemi.
“[It] is a very generous offer from him.”
Retired dentists and Hashemi herself have donated dental equipment to ORCCA. Individuals and foundations have also donated money to the society.
So far, ORCCA has raised between $100,000 and $200,000 said Heather Burkett, board chair of ORCCA.“We’re extremely grateful
to all of the community members who have come
together to help us,” said Burkett. “It’s been really heartening to see the
community coming together and obviously recognizing the need, because there is a huge need out there for kids.”
Burkett said they are now raising funds to hire an office manager.
An upcoming concert fundraiser for ORCCA will take place on Sept. 14 in Beacon Park, Sidney from 1:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
It was initially scheduled for this past June, but was rescheduled due to rain.
Sidney Town Councilor Kenny Podmore put together the concert.
“It features local artists and guests with the Craig Henderson Trio topping the bill,” said Podmore. “There is music for everyone.”
A total of 16 artists will be at the concert, all of who are donating their time. The concert will be by donation, and all of the funds will be given to ORCCA.
“I think this is an amazing program and [I] want to support it,” said Podmore.

Stephanie Peat says she saw the bed race stories in the Peninsula News Review and knew the event was something she and her co-workers had to be involved with.
Peat is the Team Captain of the Racing Realtors® a bed race team comprised of staff with DFH from throughout Greater Victoria and Sidney. Peat said the company is always looking for community events in which to be involved — and this was the perfect fit.
“We’re very involved in the local communities we represent,” she said. “We live and work in these communities.”
Megan John, managing broker for DFH, says she thinks the bed races will be a lot of fun — and it’s being done for a good cause, the palliative care facility at Sidney’s Rest Haven Lodge.
A fundraiser for palliative care services, Bed Races on Beacon has a full slate of 20 teams (with waiting list). The event promises to be a lot of fun — with full costumes and perhaps even a surprise or two.
Bed Races on Beacon take place Sun., Aug. 17 between 12 and 4 p.m. on Beacon Avenue in Sidney.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A15
NORTH SAANICH — The hometown Victoria Red Eagles went into the championship game at the 2014 Mosquito A baseball provincials without having lost all summer — a stretch of 24 games (23 wins and one tie).
Their luck, however, ran out on Sunday, August 3 against a team they had beaten five times this season. The final was between the Campbell River Tyees and the Red Eagles, with the north Island squad prevailing, 7-5.
“For Campbell River to win the gold medal game was a real accomplishment for them,” stated Colin Gardiner, the tournament’s director at North Saanich’s Rotary Park. “They had played Victoria five times and not won yet … until it really mattered: in the gold medal game of the provincial championship!”
The event itself went really well, Gardiner continued. Harvey the Harbour Cat joined teams from across B.C. for the opening ceremonies, which also included the national anthem being sung by local singer/songwriter Ms. Maxine (a teacher at Sidney Elementary School who has just released her first CD).
The tournament featured skills
competitions like Base Running (racing around the bases, won by Victoria), a Relay Throw (throwing a ball down a line of players, won by Nanaimo), and Around the Horn (throwing a ball around the bases as quickly as possible, won by Abbotsford). The winner of the Home Run Derby, from Richmond, won a beautiful maple bat. Coaches, too, competed to see who could explode the most water balloons with a baseball bat in 15 seconds, called the Bat Splat.
“Nanaimo won with
what I consider a world record of 14,” said Gardiner, who added the Bat Splat was his idea.
Victoria was the only team to win all four of their round-robin games over the weekend and won a very tight playoff game against Ladner.
The Campbell River Tyees included some of the boys who had won the Vancouver Island Tadpole Championship hosted at Rotary Park — Field of Dreams last year.
“So they’ve now come down and won big tournaments two years in a row,” Gardiner said. “They’re a force to be reckoned with!”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, August 13, 2014 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A17Peninsula News Review Wed, Aug 13, 2014 www.peninsulanewsreview.com A17
It is with sadness that the family of Neil Campbell Rhodes, known as “Dusty” by all, announce his passing on August 5th, 2014 at Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Dusty was born on Oct. 25, 1922, emigrated to Canada as a young boy and joined the West Nova Scotia Regiment in 1940. After serving in Europe, he returned to Canada, 1945 and was released in 1946. He re-enrolled in the RCR in 1948 and was commissioned in the PPCLI in 1951. Following service in Korea, Dusty served briefly with QOR before transferring to the Black Watch in 1954. He served with the Watch until his retirementin 1966.He then served as the last military C.O. at St. Micheal’s University School in Victoria and then worked with the provincial government until his final retirement, Dusty was an enthusiastic athlete who loved to golf, was a tireless dancer and had a lifelong passion for the Maple Leafs that defied all logic. He was an eternal optimist who found the best in everyone and was treasured by his family. He was pre-deceased by his first wife of 47 years, Patricia and is survived by his loving spouse of the last decade, Pamela Hobbs plus his children, Catherine and Gavin.
A memorial service and reception was held at First Memorial Funeral Services, 4725 Falaise Dr., Tuesday, August 12 at 2pm.
RHODES, Neil Campbell
