Celebration of life honouring 23-year-old Mitchell Fleischacker scheduled for Saturday

Devon MacKenzieNews staff

Even though a formal funeral was held for Mitchell Fleis-chacker back in his hometown of Stettler, Alta., his close-knit group of friends on the Peninsula where he’d most recently lived will be remembering him in a more celebra-tory fashion.

“It’s going to be a real celebration of his life,” said Frank Stevens, the father of the family with whom Fleischacker lived. “We’re going to have all the people there who mat-tered to Mitch and it’s not going to be a sad thing. We want to do what he would have wanted, which is a celebration.”

Fleischacker, 23, recently attended Shambhala Electronic Music Festival in Salmo, B.C. where it is suspected he may have overdosed on drugs which led to a fatal heart attack on Aug. 12. Stevens and his wife, Dallas were listed as his next of kin and received the call about his death.

“I’ll never forget the look on my wife’s face when she came downstairs crying,” said Stevens. “It was just such a shock for us, Mitch was like our adopted son. I had just spo-ken to him on the Friday night and we got the call Sunday

that he’d passed. It was just very, very sad.”Fleischacker moved to Sidney five years ago to be with

Dallas’ daughter, Carley, who he was dating at the time. The two were high school sweethearts when they both lived in Alberta.

“He moved in with us and Carley and really became our adopted son,” explained Stevens. “Mitch had a heart of gold and was always trying to please or help out in any way around the house. He was a tall blue eyed guy who always caught the attention of the ladies,” he laughed. “He was really just an awesome kid.”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, August 24, 2012 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A3

Brittany LeeBlack Press

Helping others and giving back to the community is second nature to Kathryn Goodyear.

The 50-year-old West Shore resident, and former member of the Sidney North Saanich

RCMP detachment, was a police officer for more than 30 years.

After spending most of her career in Alberta, plus two years in Nunavut, Goodyear retired from the RCMP in June 2011. However, she continues to work as a reserve police officer at Victoria International Airport.

“I still wanted to be able to give back to the community,” she said.

Her willingness to help others is why Goodyear is riding the length of Vancouver Island, raising funds for pediatric cancer research as she represents the local RCMP detachment in this year’s Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

“That’s basically what policing is, working with and working for the community.”

While Goodyear has not personally been affected by cancer, a close friend dealt with the disease.

In 2005, her friend’s son was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a type of cancer that causes the bone marrow to produce excess white blood cells.

A year after recovering, in 2008, the young boy relapsed and required a bone marrow transplant.

The boy’s brother stepped up. Today, the young man has been cancer-free for seven years.

Seeing the support available to her friend, who was a single mother, inspired Goodyear.

“The fight itself with cancer is hard enough without having to worry about your employment and your mortgage and all the other stuff that goes with it,” she said.

The Tour would be nothing without the support of the Island communities making an effort to raise funds for kids with cancer, she added.

“Everybody buys into the fact that these kids need this help.”

Goodyear recalls a trip to Camp Goodtimes with her Tour team in mid-July. The only thing different about the summer camp for kids who have or had cancer is that there’s an oncologist on site, she said.

“The kids were laughing and screaming,” she said. “If this money can put that kind of smile on their face, and [allow them to] forget about [their cancer] …” Goodyear paused, unable to find the words to continue.

Gearing up for the Tour de Rock, which starts Sept. 23 in Port Alice, Goodyear said she looks forward to getting caught up in the spirit of fundraising and supporting the families she meets along the ride.

The Peninsula News Review will gain a new editor in September.

Steve Heywood, editor of the Parksville Qualicum Beach News, will become editor of the Peninsula News Review starting Sept. 17.

Peter McCully, publisher of the Parksville Qualicum Beach News, said, “Steve was an integral part of the teams that won gold B.C. and Yukon Community Newspaper Awards

general excellence awards in 2006 and 2010, and a silver in general excellence in 2011,” adding, “We’ll be sad to see Steve go, but are happy in knowing that he has landed in another beautiful seaside community in Sidney, and at a Black Press paper to boot.”

The move will take Heywood closer to family in the area.

Heywood has been with Black Press for nine years, working previously in

Northern Alberta and southeastern B.C.

Heywood replaces Erin Cardone, who was editor since November 2011 and is moving overseas.

“I’ve enjoyed every minute of working on the Peninsula,” Cardone said. “This is the most friendly, welcoming place I’ve been lucky enough to call home and I’m very sorry to be leaving the community.”

The editor of the Peninsula News Review can be contacted at [email protected] or 250-656-1151.

Black Press is proud to be an official sponsor for the 2012 Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock, with news reporter Kyle Slavin on the 18-member tour team as a media rider.

Open Sidney’s bandshell

Beacon Park is one of the gems of the Peninsula. The open, landscaped, waterfront space is a delight to behold – hence why it is so often bustling with people and pets, especially on sunny summer days.

It is home to many great performances and events, the grandest being Sidney Summer Sounds – open air concerts that happen

every Sunday throughout the summer, from 2 to 4 p.m. (The last one of this year happens this weekend

when the Timebenders perform.)A town bylaw restricts use of the park to

free, unticketed public events. It’s a great concept that the space should be open access and for the most part, that rule should be respected.

But the bandshell in Beacon Park isn’t in use every day and outside of June to August, it’s quite seldom occupied.

Recently, the Sidney Rotary Club proposed to host Shakespeare productions in the bandshell (see the Wednesday, Aug. 22 News Review) and wanted to sell tickets to offset associated costs, as well as to raise funds for their charity. Council said no, citing the bylaw.

It’s time for council to revisit that bylaw. Keep Beacon Park a hub of activity with more performances through the summer and into the cooler months too. Priority should always go to free performances for the enjoyment of everyone, but when it’s not being used for that purpose, surely others could take advantage of the space. It will only add to the ambiance and rich culture of the Saanich Peninsula.

Plus, anyone who has been to the park knows that while seats will be ticketed, there will be plenty of places to stand nearby to catch a glimpse of the performances for free.

Ticketed events would be enjoyed for free by passersby

Monday night’s movie screening started earlier than I’d figured.

I thought there was time to sneak home from work, eat dinner and put my kid to bed before rushing off to cover that Movie Monday thing I’ve been hearing about.

Turns it out it’s the best kept secret around.

I walked into the hall-way of the Eric Martin Pavilion at 8 p.m. There’s something about the smell of an old hospital that can slow time. By my count I was 90 minutes late for the start of that night’s documentary, Wiebo’s War.

No sooner was I through the door of the pavilion when I stumbled onto the group. Five people, two couches and a 30 inch tube TV. In the hallway?

“So this is Movie Monday?” I thought. “It’s smaller than I had predicted and it seems like a lot of effort for just a few people.”

Organizer Bruce Saunders was one of the five sitting in the well-lit hallway and I knew I was in the right place. There was a giant Mon-day Movie sign and everything.

I sat on the floor of the hallway behind the couches on the floor of the hallway. Wiebo’s War, if you haven’t seen it, is a fascinating tale about Wiebo Ludwig and the people of Trickle Creek in northern Alberta. And it quickly drew me in.

The residents, who are referred to as Ludwigs, explain their fight against the neighbouring gas mines,

which have slowly poisoned them over the past two decades.

Knowing that I was in the Eric Martin Pavilion, which traditionally cared for people with mental health

issues, and knowing Saun-ders’ own personal his-tory with mental health issues, I was ready for anything.

So when white-linen-suit-guy got up and walked around during the climax of the movie, I judged not. He crossed the hall, opened a door to a lecture theatre and dis-appeared inside.

Boy did I feel smart when, through the open

door, I could see the dark theatre was full of people with the same movie on a giant screen.

Oh, that’s Movie Monday.“We provide the TV and couches

in the hallway so people can come and go,” Saunders explained to me later. “Some people don’t like to sit down too long and we like to accommodate if we can.”

When the movie ended I entered the main theatre.

It was nearly full and almost everyone stayed put as the lights came on. Saunders took the micro-phone, held it to a speakerphone and phoned the director of Wiebo’s War, David York.

“Hi David.”“Hi Bruce.”York fielded 80 minutes worth of

questions from the audience while Saunders moderated.

It was a great Q&A, full money’s

worth (admission is by donation and averages $2 per head).

“Directors want to talk about their movies,” Saunders said. “But it’s common to get 10 minutes or so at a film festival.”

And anyone who stuck around on Monday learned the true bril-liance of York. It’s like Saunders is essentially running a year round film festival.

Saunders created the weekly viewings in the Eric Martin lecture theatre in 1993, following a stint as an in-patient after his second attempt at suicide.

He got an idea to use movies to create a positive environment for people with mental illness, at least a better option than regular TV.

He ran his first Q&A in 1993, his first year of running Movie Monday. It was for Benny and Joon, a movie that deals with schizophrenia, with director Jeremiah Chechik.

In the 1990s he also ran One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, perhaps the most famed movie about men-tal health, and spoke with director Milos Forman.

Saunders is all for breaking down stigmas around mental health, but he runs all kinds of shows.

“The Canadian films in particu-lar of all the films we run are much more creative and important than what Hollywood offers, but people just don’t know about them.”

This Monday, Aug. 27, he’s show-ing Love That Boy, a 2003 comedy from Halifax.

LETTERSPlenty of proof God disproves of gay marriage

Re: Biblical reasons don’t impede gay marriage (Letters, Aug. 17)

In his letter, Rev. Elrod states “there is no Biblical definition of marriage as between one man and one woman.” Actually, there are many throughout the Bible. The first is Genesis 2:24, “A man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife.” Other clear examples are in 1 Corinthians 7 and Ephesians 5. Also, 1 Timothy 3:12 correctly says, “Let deacons be the husband of one wife.”

Rev. Elrod seems to feel that his examples of polygamous marriages, Abram (Abraham) pretending his wife, Sarai, was his sister, having a child by his servant, Hagar and Lot (not Noah) having children with his daughters supports God’s apathy

to or approval of same gender marriages. Actually, God was totally disapproving of all these behaviours. For God’s opinion on same sex relationships, please read Romans 1:26-27, Leviticus 18:22 and 1 Corinthians 6:9-10.

One doesn’t have “to cherry pick Biblical verses” to find the Biblical definition of marriage and how very essential that is to a stable, healthy society. They are very plentiful.

Scooter-style bicycles need better regulation

Lately in Sidney, I have noticed a proliferation of scooter-style electric bikes being ridden and parked on sidewalks. I also noticed that many of these vehicles have had their pedals removed – I assume to make them look less of a bicycle and

more of a scooter? Or more cool? Nevertheless, one would

assume that such heavy machines would be difficult to pedal anyway, but I digress.

The reason for this letter is to make the owners of these pedal-less machines aware of a recent court ruling by the B.C. Supreme Court which came about when a Chilliwack man was charged for riding without insurance after he removed the pedals from his electric bike. Under the terms of the Motor Vehicle Act, electric bicycles are defined as Motor Assisted Cycles, or MACs. And if the pedals are removed, then the vehicles can no longer be propelled by human effort, thus cannot be classified as MACs.

So if these vehicles are no longer able to legally use the public roadway and are no longer bicycles, should they be allowed on local bicycle trails or lanes?

And it would appear that the

current pedal-less vehicles that are using the roadway bike lanes, are now uninsured vehicles.

My opinion, for what it’s worth, is that to be classified as a true electric assisted bicycle, it should be designed in such a way that it can be pedalled easily. The motor/battery should be to assist, not be the sole motive force.

How will the local authorities deal with these unclassified vehicles?

Sidney needs a draw to entice tourists to stay

I am a business person in Sidney, being the owner of Bistro Suisse.

In my frequent drives along Lochside Drive and Fifth Avenue, I so often see traffic disembark from the Anacortes ferry. I am

always dismayed that all the traffic turns left for Victoria, but then I thought: ‘what is there to attract visitors to visit Sidney?’

Yes it is a nice little town with lovely shops and so on, but what I find is lacking is a very visible landmark. A real tourist draw.

The idea popped into my head, that since this is a town on the water’s edge (hence Sidney by the Sea) I thought that we should have a great water fountain at the bottom of Beacon Avenue, big enough so it becomes a landmark. So it is visible from the ferry and it induces people to go and see it.

A perfect example would be the fountain in Geneva.

Right now it’s just a thought. Maybe Mayor Larry Cross and fellow councillors could look into it and create something the town could be proud of.

For some time now, we’ve been hearing from many British Columbians around the province, as well as from inter-ested municipalities, that they want to know more about Internet voting.

As a society, we’ve grown increasingly comfortable with

the Internet as a tool. In fact, 93 per cent of British Columbians now have access to high-speed Internet, making us one of the most connected jurisdictions in the

world. Many of us have grown accus-tomed to the convenience the Internet offers.

This shows the potential Internet vot-ing has to increase accessibility and con-venience, and reinvigorate democracy in British Columbia. However, when it comes to something as integral to our democracy as our electoral process, it is imperative that the appropriate precau-tions are taken.

That’s why I, as attorney general, have requested that Elections B.C. convene an independent panel to examine the poten-tial for Internet voting here in B.C. This is the first step in exploring whether or not Internet voting is a feasible option for our

province. Specifically, Elections B.C. has been

asked to look at best practices when it comes to Internet voting in other jurisdic-tions – both in Canada and around the globe. The panel will look at Internet vot-ing in both local and provincial contexts, as certain factors may be unique to each level of government.

Most importantly, the panel will be examining all potential security and pri-vacy concerns and how those may be addressed before we would even con-sider implementation. B.C.’s chief elec-toral officer Keith Archer will chair the panel, which will have members with expertise in technology, cryptography,

Internet security policy and electoral administration.

This panel will – and already has – sparked an engaging conversation about modernizing our electoral process. While we remain optimistic Internet voting could increase voter turnout in our prov-ince, we are exercising tremendous cau-tion with something as significant as our province’s democracy.

I’ll look forward to receiving the inde-pendent panel’s report and observing the interesting debate about Internet voting as it unfolds.

It’s not often in track and field events that you get two for the price of one, but that’s just what Sandy Anderson, 72, achieved last week in St. John’s, N.B.

This year’s Canadian Masters Championship was combined with the North American, Central Ameri-can and Caribbean Masters Cham-pionships, so winning athletes could be awarded medals in both competi-tions at the same time – which Ander-son turned to her advantage.

By winning the W70 pole vault and equalling her Canadian record of 1.50 metres, she became both the Cana-dian and NACAC champion at the same time. Anderson then had a sim-ilar two gold medal triumph in high jump, clearing 1.10 m.

Following her double wins, Ander-son also had double silver medal performances in the weight pentath-lon (2,923 points), shot put (6.73 m) and the weight throw (8.80 m). In the hammer throw and javelin com-petitions, she secured Canadian sil-ver and NACAC bronze medals with her respective throws of 20.24 m

and 17.20 m, while her discus throw of 14.32 m earned her a Canadian bronze.

Anderson had prepared for the competition by participating in the Washington State Seniors Games event in Olympia, Wash. where she won the high jump (1.16 m), shot put (7.25 m) and javelin (14.94 m) events. She won silver medals in the discus (16.54 m), weight throw (8.77 m) and the hammer throw (21.96 m). The latter result would have been a new B.C. Masters W70 record, except for the fact that the meet officials did not have a steel tape on hand to verify the measurement, so it could not be officially certified.

At the Olympia meet, fellow club master Les East (M70) had his win-ning high jump leap of 1.29 m verified as a new B.C. record, while he also took the gold in the triple jump (7.98 m), long jump (3.56 m) and hammer throw (33.10 m). To these he added silver in the discus (29.00 m) and in an event not contested in Canada, the standing long jump (1.98 m).

Both athletes are competing in the B.C. Seniors Games in Burnaby Aug. 21-25.

Three past Peninsula Soccer Club members were crowned the win-ners of the 2012 Reserve Challenge Cup.

The three men, Drew Brittain, team coach and player, and team members Jared Atchi-son and Aaron Murphy competed in the cup as members of the Victoria United Reserve team of the Pacific Coast Soc-cer League – a elite level league that fea-tures teams from B.C. and Washington State.

The Challenge Cup

is a tournament that features all four of the PCSL divisions compet-ing together to nab top spot.

All three men had been members of the Peninsula Soccer Club as youth players before going on to compete with Vancouver Island Soccer League on vari-ous teams.

The tournament, which was held July 28 and 29 in Chilliwack, also drew teams from the lower mainland and the Okanagan, both of which the Victoria United Reserve team had to go up against to

win the cup.“This group of play-

ers ranging in age from 15 to 23 years of age all banded together to form a successful summer league team,” said Victoria United Reserves manager Mark Brittain.

Under the direction of coach and player Brittain, the team drew-from players from sev-eral Vancouver Island Soccer League men’s teams including Vic West, Gordon Head, Lakehill, Gorge, Sooke, Bays and Cowichan.

The resident complained a car drove into the bushes on the side of the road. Police found the car a short time later with a 20-year-old Central Saanich man driving it.

Police noted the smell of alcohol and the driver displaying signs of alcohol consumption. A roadside screening was given to the driver, which he failed twice. His car was impounded for 30 days and he received a 90-day driving prohibition.

“If you’ve been drinking the night before and think a few hours of sleep will sober you up, that’s not the case,” warned Cpl. Pat Bryant of the Central Saanich police. “Alcohol takes a while to work its way out of your system so be aware of that the morning after.”

iPad taken from home,found outside hours later

A break and enter in a home in the 1900-block of Genoa Pl. occurred dur-ing the day on Tuesday, Aug. 21.

An iPad was taken when a basement window that had been left unlocked was entered. When officers attended the home the next morning to fingerprint the scene, they were told by the homeown-ers that the iPad had been located on the ground outside the home earlier that morning.

New signs in Gowlland Tod recognize First Nations historyKyle SlavinNews staff

Long before pioneers arrived on the Peninsula, this was home to the Saanich First Nations communities.

“There are thousands of years worth of history here,” Sarah Verstegen said of Tod Inlet. “What a lot of us forget is that the woods, for the First Nations, served as grocery store, hardware store and drug store. (pronounced ‘sneakwith’) signified a place that was rich with all they needed.”

is the word

for the Place of the Blue Grouse. That place is more readily known nowadays as Tod Inlet.

“Blue grouse hung so prolifically from the trees there, when they needed dinner they could walk by, bop a grouse, and prepare it and eat it,” said Verstegen, operations manager with SeaChange Marine Conservation Society.

On Saturday, Aug. 25, the society will unveil a new sign in Gowlland

Tod Provincial Park, recognizing the historical significance of the site.

The sign features colourful artwork – featuring a pair of

blue grouse – by Tsartlip First Nation artist Pena Elliott.

“The sign reminds us how much the land has offered over time, and that there are ways to just honour that history,” Verstegen said.

The sign unveiling is part of a free, full day event in the park, running from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be a traditional salmon roast, tours of restoration sites, a table with traditional medicines, and an eelgrass shoot transplant.

SeaChange Marine Society has been transplanting eelgrass in parts of Tod Inlet for a dozen years.

“It’s been ever since we came upon eelgrass and learned 80 per cent of commercial fish use it at some point in their life cycle. And we learned we could transplant it [in Tod Inlet],” Verstegen said. “The more diversity there is ecologically, in general the healthier the place is. ... The same thing happens socially. When we do restoration of the land, we’re helping cultures talk to each other.”

Entry to the park for the event is a short walk from the Wallace Drive service gate, located south of Benvenuto Avenue. Individuals who have mobility issues and are interested in attending the event can call 250-652-1662 in advance to make arrangements.

Kyle SlavinNews staff

Andrew Hicik’s job at Sidney Town Hall had been the same for six years – manager of finance. That changed this week with his promotion to director of corporate services.

The new job, which focuses mainly on the financial operations of the town (ie. budgeting, financial reporting), is one Hicik said he’s eager to take on.

“I’m happy to be given

this opportunity,” he said. “The challenge will be to not only carry on the work that happened by my predecessors,

but to try to improve it all the time. … I want to bring some of my own past experience to the role.”

Prior to coming to Sidney, Hicik worked in local governments in Metchosin, Langley and the District of Lake Country.

“Having the experience of working at different size organizations

has given me some insights into how they all operate, and allowed me to be exposed to initiatives that you might not see in the smaller places,” he said.

Sidney Mayor Larry Cross cited Hicik’s “professionalism and attention to detail” as assets to the town.

The director position was vacated by Valla Tinney, after she accepted a role as director of finance with the District of Saanich.

A move to increase density in downtown Sid-ney by allowing buildings over four storeys high has been put on hold after a proposed five-storey mixed-use development on Third Street ignited concerns from both council and the public.

The development, which would take the place of the old McLarty’s building at 9818 Third St., was first discussed at a meeting of council on July 3. It has since been met with opposition from resi-dents and council alike due to its appearance and the fact that a variance permit would have to be issued to allow for the five-storey structure.

“I can’t support it in its current form, I’m not satisfied with the massing. It’s too monolithic on three sides,” said Coun. Marilyn Loveless during

the Aug. 13 council meeting.“There are four main issues here,” Loveless said.

“The height, the massing, the building materials they’re using and lack of setback in some parts of the building.”

During the public hearing portion of the same meeting a few residents also spoke on the pos-sible impacts of allowing such a development in downtown Sidney.

The development would consist of ground floor commercial units, 28 multifamily dwelling units and two levels of underground parking. The devel-oper proposed to add $345,000 worth of amenities in exchange for Sidney council bumping up the allowed height of the building.

The next meeting of council is scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 4 at 7 p.m.

Downtown Sidney density discussion put on hold

During his time in Sidney with Stevens and his wife, Fleischacker worked at the Charles Dickens cold beer and wine store, and more recently as a cladder with Great White Cladding and Decking Ltd.

“He was a nice guy, I was absolutely floored when I found out [about his death],” said Danny White, owner of the company. “I didn’t know him that well, but he was a good worker and a great guy. He walked in off the street and was so eager I gave him a job on the spot.”

Stevens said Fleischacker seemed to have really found his niche in the construction trade.

“He worked really hard before his death,” he said.

“Mitch just loved working at big heights and with big tools. He also loved camping and anything to do with the outdoors and people. But most of all, Mitch loved being with people,” Stevens said, adding that it was one of the reasons Fleischacker attended Shambhala.

“He’s been every year to the festival for the last few years at least. He loved it,” he said.

Stevens and his wife are hosting the celebra-tion of Fleischacker’s life on Saturday, Aug. 25, at their home at 2037 Ardwell Ave. Anyone who knew

Fleischacker is welcome, said Stevens.“We just want to do something for him that cel-

ebrates him and the impact he had on our lives,” said Stevens. “Our door was always open. I’ll really miss waking up and seeing Mitch’s big size 14 feet hanging over the end of the couch.”

Heritage Acres hosts newspaper’s birthday festivities on Sept. 22Erin CardoneNews staff

We’re feeling a little old these days.As you know, nearly 100 years ago, what

is now the Peninsula News Review was born as just a wee newspaper. Over the years, we’ve grown and changed, but this cen-tury of service wouldn’t have been possible without you – the readers and the busi-nesses who have supported us all along.

So, as a thank you for your loyalty and the integral part you’ve played in helping

us reach this milestone and remain the best-read newspaper on the Saanich Peninsula, we’re having a party.

“We wanted to give back to the commu-nity for all their support over the years,” said News Review publisher Jim Parker. “The day is going to be a lot of fun for kids of all ages to come out and enjoy the festivities as we celebrate our 100 years. There will be great bands, lots of food and plenty of fun. The steam train will be running, a bouncy castle and games for the young ones. If you haven’t visited Heritage Acres before this would be a good time to join us and take it all in and all for a good cause.”

Join us on Saturday, Sept. 22 at Heritage Acres. We’ll be serving up old-time treats and the barbecue will be a-blazing to cook

hot dogs and hamburgers for the whole family, courtesy of Peninsula Co-op. Pan-orama Recreation Centre came on board to offer inflatable toys and activities to keep the kids entertained, and a lineup of Penin-sula bands will be on hand as well to pro-vide musical entertainment. Tom Watson, frontman for the Timebenders, will emcee. Meet the staff, check out the old printing press at Heritage Acres’ museum and bask in the old world charm of the day.

Admission to the event and food are by donation, with all proceeds going to Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rider Kyle Slavin – a reporter for our sister paper, the Saanich News.

We hope to see you [email protected]

Grandmothers ride for grandmothers

Thirty cyclists with an average age of 65, numer-ous hip and knee replacements and life-threaten-ing illness between them, a journey of 275 kilome-tres and no complaints.

The Victoria Grandmothers for Africa Cycle Tour take their rubber to the road for their less-fortunate counterparts in Africa in September.

“A total of 40-60 per cent of orphaned grandchil-dren in Africa are raised by their grandparents,” said race organizer Jocelyn Green.

She believes if seniors in Africa can raise their grandchildren under the weight of poverty, cycling 275 kilometres was a small price to pay.

“I have seen the different grandparents raising their grandchildren with so little,” she said.

The local group has cumulatively raised more than $200,000 over five tours and hopes the sixth annual trek takes them over the $250,000 mark.

“That money will go such a long, long way in Africa,” said rider Joanne Egan of Sidney.

Her participation became more meaningful after seeing the poverty-stricken lifestyle first hand after she travelled to an orphanage in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

“The trip changed my life. My need for things has diminished. We have so much and they have so little,” she said.

The riders roll out of Rotary Park in Campbell River on Sept. 7, culminating with their arrival at St. John the Divine church in Victoria on Grandpar-ent’s Day, Sept. 9 at 3 p.m.

Did you know the Victoria International Airport has its own policing contingent? The airport is staffed seven days a week by four RCMP reserve constables who provide imme-diate on-site response. Each is retired from the force, but has re-joined on contract.

Reserve constable Terry Curry worked for the Edmon-ton Police Service and Saanich Police Department prior to join-ing the RCMP in 1979. Curry worked on the Vancouver drug section where he specialized in drug-related investigations. The experiences he gleaned from this specialized unit enabled him to work on joint forces operations and with the Com-bined Forces Special Enforce-ment Unit (CFSEU). He retired as a corporal in 2007 and has

been with the reserve program since 2009.

Reserve constable Bruce McLellan retired from the force in 2008 after spending 23 years in the police dog section where he trained vigorously. McLellan also worked with the Emergency Response, Tactical and Avalanche Search and Rescue teams. His strong aptitude in this area enabled him to train five dogs over his service. To this day Bruce still instructs dog handlers with the Canadian Ava-lanche Rescue Dog Association.

Reserve constable Kathryn Goodyear joined the RCMP in 1981. She was initially posted to Fort McMurray and Lake

Louise, Alta., then travelled to Bosnia in 1991 to work with the

United Nations as a peacekeeper. She retired as a corporal from South Island Traffic Services in June 2011. Goodyear is representing the Sidney North Saanich Detachment in the 2012 Cops for Cancer Tour De Rock team. See her in action at the Sidney summer

market Aug. 30 where she will be finishing up a 24 hour ride. If you wish to donate online please visit www.copsforcan-cerbc.ca/tourderock/kathryn-goodyear.

An oft-cited mantra of many financial planners is that to be comfortable in retirement, we need to target 70 per cent of our pre-retirement income. This is such a broad and often misleading generalization that it merits comment.

How can there be one-size-fits-all retirement income? Clearly the same retire-ment target can-not be applied to both the $150,000 and the $20,000 earner. Despite the inherent flaw in reporting “averages,” the typical Canadian retiree actually manages quite well on about 55 per cent of pre-retirement income. About half that income comes from CPP, OAS and, for the truly needy, the Guaranteed Income Sup-plement. Regardless of how we each define it, to be “finan-

cially comfortable” in retire-ment, we need the necessary funds to come from work-

place pensions or from investments.

Of the approxi-mately 15 million employees in Can-ada, about 40 per cent belong to some form of employer-sponsored pension plan. Unfortunately, this leaves the other 60 per cent with no employer-pension plans. It

is these future retirees who must scrimp, save and invest enough during their working years to not only supplement their government entitle-ments, but also ensure these investments are sufficient to minimize the risk of depletion during an increasingly lengthy retirement.

Equally important, possibly even more so, is the need to enter retirement with mini-

mal and preferably zero debt. Although we know we should shun debt at any age, realisti-cally most of us cannot avoid debt when we are young and even middle-aged. Many of us need student loans to pursue post-secondary education and few of us can buy a home without a mortgage. However, once carried into retirement, debts can become insidious.

A recent Bank of Montreal study found that 51 per cent of Canadian homeowners plan to carry at least some mortgage debt into retire-ment. In the high-flying B.C. real estate market, that num-ber is projected to exceed 60 per cent. Although planned, this increasing debt burden of our future retirees threat-ens our current status as the country with the lowest level of retiree poverty in the developed world.

Should a retiree be lucky enough to hit that mythical 70 per cent income objec-

tive, his ability to service and repay any form of debt will be greatly diminished once he retires.

Is there a solution to this emerging trend? While still employed, make the pay-ing down of debt the No. 1 priority – even more critical than saving and investing. Debt should be viewed as the No. 1 enemy by every-one approaching the end of a working career. For those already retired and still in debt, it isn’t too late. Hom-eowners can consider down-sizing and with debts paid off, discretionary income will immediately increase and financial stress will decrease.

A retired corporate execu-tive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, The Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tanner’s Books, and in other bookstores.
