Steve Price and Steve Duck seek to replace outgoing mayor Larry CrossSteven HeywoodNews staff

Two people have announced their intent to seek the office of the mayor now that the incumbent has announced he will not seek re-election in November.

Town councillor Steve Price and Sidney businessman Steve Duck say they will seek the mayor’s chair in the 2014 municipal election.

Larry Cross, the current mayor, announced earlier this month that he will not seek re-election after three terms on council. Cross cited health concerns and a desire to spend time with family as reasons for ending his political career.

Price has been on council for six years, or two terms of office.

He has received the endorsement and support for his bid for mayor from Cross and councillors Marilyn Loveless, Mervyn Lougher-Goodey, Kenny Podmore and Melissa Hai-ley.

“I am honoured and humbled to have so much support this early in the campaign,” said Price in a media release on Aug. 21.

Price said he will be seeking the job in the fall and bas-ing his campaign on the strong footing established by the council over the last six years.

Price added he supports the ongoing work of the May-or’s Task Force on downtown revitalization, established this year by Cross. Price is also a strong proponent of a new pedestrian overpass of Highway 17 near Beacon Avenue.

Duck, the owner of Tides Group, a destination marketing and events planning business in Sidney, announced his bid on Aug. 20. He is encourag-ing residents of Sidney to be active in this fall’s municipal election.

“Please do not lose sight of the importance of the

next three months to find the right seven people to lead our Town’s future,” he stated in a media release.

Chamber of Commerce hires new executive director

SIDNEY — The Chamber has a new exec-utive director. The Saanich Peninsula Cham-ber of Commerce announced this week that

Denny Warner has been hired to help lead the local busi-ness organization.

Warner has lived on the Peninsula for eight years and comes from a back-ground in communi-cation training and bookkeeping. She has worked with the Chamber organizing special events.

Warner takes on the job that was vacated Chris Fudge on Nov. 22, 2013. He took a job with

B.C. Transit. The job had been done by Linda Duivenvoorden, the Chamber’s office admin-istrator.

Call for actors in Xmas pantoSIDNEY — The Peninsula Players are

seeking talented actors, singers and danc-ers for their production of A Christmas Carol - the Panto by Adrian Barradell and directed by Gerald Schieven. This production com-bines the classic Dickens tale (narrated by Dickens himself!) with the hilarious antics of an old-fashioned panto: villains, heroes, a dame, slapstick, corny jokes, singalongs (You’re a Mean One, Mr. Scrooge) and more.

Auditions are being held at the Mary Win-spear Centre Sept. 9, 13 and 14. Email or message the directo at [email protected] for details.

Denny Warner is the new Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce executive director.

Duck, who has been actively involved in the creation of a new business improvement associa-tion in Sidney’s downtown, is also a supporter and member of Save Our Sidney (SOS). This group has been opposed to current council’s handling of downtown traffic issues, most notably their position that Bea-con Avenue must return to a two-way traffic configuration. Current council has stated it will not change the current mixed-one way and two

way pattern of the main street. Duck stated his focus will be on economic growth, affordable housing develop-ment, culture and recreation.

“I have demonstrated my commit-ment to Sidney as the place to live and the destination to come to,” he said.

Nomination forms for the 2014 municipal election are now available at the Town of Sidney office. The election takes place Nov. 15.

Economic growth a key focus

Steven Heywood/News staff

Sidney Town Councillor Steve Price is making a bid for the mayor’s chair this fall.

2014 Municipal election

Price tagged for mayoral runSteven HeywoodNews staff

Steve Price is calling for a clean, positive election campaign without any dirty politics played by his oppo-nents and form what he termed this week as ‘fringe elements’.

Price was referring to the Save Our Sidney (SOS) group that formed earlier this year to act as self-pro-claimed watchdogs of council when it comes to business and economic development in the downtown core. SOS also has a strong contingent of people who believe the incumbents are on the wrong side of the one-way and two-way traffic debate on Bea-con Avenue.

Price is one of two people to announce their intent to run for mayor of the Town of Sidney in the wake of current Mayor Larry Cross recently announcing he won’t seek a third term. The other is Steve Duck, a local businessman who has been heavily involved with SOS.

Price says he credits SOS for stay-ing on message and continuing to call for Beacon Avenue to return to a two-way traffic configuration. But he said more recent public surveys have shown a majority of residents

want the main street to stay as-is.“If things are working well, you

don’t dismantle it,” he said.That’s part of Price’s main mes-

sage at this early stage of the 2014 municipal election campaign in Sid-ney. With the endorsement and sup-port of Cross and four of the five incumbent councillors, Price said he’s running to continue the work already being done by the council.

“It has been in my mind for a while (to run),” Price said. “But I didn’t want to run against Larry.”

Now that Cross will not seek the job, Price said he wants it to con-tinue council’s work on such issues as the pedestrian overpass of High-way 17 and the Mayor’s Task Force on Downtown Revitalization. Price said he is taking recent comments of his being a clone of Larry Cross as a compliment.

“I’ve worked with Larry and he’s been a good mentor. But I’ve always been my own person.”

Price said he plans to further the work of the council in areas such as economic development, transpor-tation, Beacon Wharf upgrades and more.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

He was the first to announce his intent to run for mayor of the Town of Sidney, and

Steve Duck is also seen as the first challenger to incumbent council-lor Steve Price in this fall’s mayoral race.

A local businessman who owns the Tides

Group, an event coor-dination and market-ing company in Sidney, Duck admits he enters the race without direct political experience but says he has the vision and expertise in running a business and various non-profit organizations that will translate into being a good local representa-tive.

“For the past three years I have attended many council meetings and have observed how council has responded to issues,” Duck said. “I had con-templated running for council in the past but at that time, I felt there wasn’t a chance to sup-plant the existing coun-cillors.”

He said the decision of incumbent Mayor Larry Cross to not seek re-election in the fall opens those doors.

“There’s potentially an underlying feel or need for change or for different views,” he continued. “That has given me a sense of an opportunity to bring about a new vision for Sidney.”

That vision, he said, includes expanding

Sidney’s role as the gateway to Vancouver Island and finding ways to blend more oppor-tunities for all age groups in the commu-nity. He said the Town should not necessarily be directed by a single age demographic and

there should be more opportunities for busi-ness operators. He also hopes to work towards more affordable hous-ing options for young people and families who have jobs in Sid-ney.

That’s not to dis-

count the role that seniors have to play in Sidney, he added.

“Seniors represent a wealth of knowledge with lots of ideas and thoughts on the Town’s future,” he replied.

Duck added he doesn’t want to suggest

most people are satis-fied with how the Town is today.

“We all have ideas for the future and commit-ment to sustainability and growth of Sidney.”

To that end, Duck said he thinks this November could see a wholesale changing of the guard on council.

“Yes, with the quan-tity and quality of can-didates (expected to be nominated), the incum-bent councillors will have a challenge ahead of them.”

Duck said he plans to hit the streets this fall during the campaign, talk to people and intro-duce himself.


CENTRAL SAANICH — Just after mid-night on Aug. 22 Sidney North Saanich RCMP officers responded to a robbery at the Super 8 Hotel on Mt. Newton X Road in Saanichton.

According to officers, there was one male suspect involved in the robbery who was described as being 5’9” in height and around 190 pounds with a cursive writing tattoo on the left side of his neck.

The following day, the RCMP appre-hended the suspect and he is currently in custody. He appeared in Victoria Provin-cial Court on Monday to face charges of robbery. — News staff

Suspect arrested in overnight robbery

“I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in areas like the Lions Food Bank, which is making a difference thanks to this council’s hard work.”

He said it’s important to him

to have a council that helps make people’s lives better.

“I want to leave the Town better than how we found it, to build on past successes.”

Part of that success, he continued, is the civil tone

of council and local politics in general. He said it’s impor-tant to be able to work with everyone, share ideas and try to pick the best ones for the community.

As for the mayor’s job, Price

said it’s an important leader-ship role but is only one vote on council. Yet, Price said he’s ready for the change.

“Any organization I’ve ever joined, I’ve always ended up running it.”

OUR VIEW

The month-long Agricultural Land Commission consultation closed Aug. 22, and the

B.C. government is compiling the feedback received from a province-wide tour and invitation to comment.

I can’t tell you much about the official input. The consultation sessions were by invitation only, with no media allowed, and the submissions via website are also not public.

I reached Agriculture Minister Norm Letnick as he was traveling around B.C. conducting his own meetings with farmers. He’s not saying much either, except that a summary of the findings should be made public in September as the government considers new regulations.

The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules around secondary farmland uses in the Interior, Kootenay and North regions, as well as food processing and retail sales of food and beverages on farmland. Also under consideration is allowing breweries and distilleries, as wine and cider production are now allowed, and relaxing rules to permit more off-farm products to be sold from farms.

Letnick defended the 30-day summer consultation as adequate. It’s based on 11 questions developed with staff, farm groups and local government. He’s also not counting

how many emails were stacked up by proponents or critics.

“I’m not conducting a plebiscite,” Letnick said. “What I’m trying to do is come up with the best balance of recommendations to make to government that can hold their own based on the idea and the potential positive and negative consequences.”

NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham was more forthcoming. She was invited to the formal sessions and also won’t talk about them directly. But she’s not backing away from her criticisms.

The government is proposing to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for several kinds of decisions, including subdivision for family use or into

properties of 160 acres or more.“I think the general idea was

that people trust the ALC to make that decision, and it should still go through the commission,” Popham said. “Actually the commission has been making those decisions anyway, and I think they’ve been quite fair when somebody applies.”

She said farmers also aren’t sold on the notion of easing the rules for secondary businesses.

“You will already find situations where there’s, let’s say a welding shop or something like that attached to somebody’s residence who lives

on ALR land,” Popham said. “That sort of stuff has been allowed, but it’s always had to go through the ALC or some sort of process that’s been in place. This leaves that process out, and so I think that’s the problem people are having.”

She noted that non-farm activities have a way of growing until they become the main business.

A reader who attended the Kelowna session said even winery operators aren’t thrilled about the proposal to enlarge retail space and allow sales of wine or beer not made on site. He said “not one” participant there liked the idea of increasing industrial activity such as food processing or retailing. And he agreed with Popham that the ALC is doing a good job with subdivision applications.

Popham also clarified the situation with the leased craft gin distillery on her own Vancouver Island farm. It started as a winery and the conversion needed only local government approval because the production facility was already considered and taxed as light industrial.

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C. Liberals’ love of liberalized liquor, I expect that change to go through.Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tom-

Ruts in road to farmland changes

Tom FletcherB.C. Views

Keep a civil tongueA

civil tone in local politics this fall is what the two announced candidates for mayor in the Town of Sidney agree on.

Both Steve Price and Steve Duck are hopeful for a civil discource come October and November — and it’s something all candidates should be trying to achieve throughout the campaign.

That is not to say, however, that people shouldn’t disagree or hold contrary opinions or ideas on the future of thier community.

No one wants cookie-cutter councillors who show up at regular meetings and only agree with each

other. For the most part, none of the Saanich Peninsula councils are like that, but Sidney and to a degree Central Saanich are closer to that than North Saanich (which is completely different — and that’s an understatement). There’s also an unwritten rule that once a council makes a decision, it moves ahead as a united front with no dissent.

While one would want to see a majority decision on most issues out of local councils respected, that result should not automatically quash the opinions of, or stifle, a dissenting member. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone and continuing to push an agenda — as long as there’s some degree of respect among peers and in the process.

That’s the main difference between the more congenial and more fractious councils on the Peninsula.

We encourage all candidates to act in a civil manner this fall, but we also don’t want people to pull any punches when it comes to their thoughts on leadership in our communities. Candidates and their supporters must engage in vigorous, yet respectful debate. To allow a degeneration into name-or-cat-calling serves no one and isn’t deserving of our votes.

‘The aim of this exercise is to consider relaxing rules.’

There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone

Not negativity but democracy

In response to Bob Mclure’s let-ter in the PNR Aug. 22.

Apparently if you publicly dis-agree, and I have, with some of the decisions and actions of this council, Mr. McLure finds you subversive and unwelcome.

Only those who will not ques-tion or criticize council’s wisdom and are prepared to do battle with those who do are welcome.

Sidney is indeed a beautiful town and I for one would not want to live anywhere else and I want to keep it that way.

Our downtown stores and busi-

nesses and our waterfront are the life blood of our community and when they become threatened either directly or indirectly I will stand up and do whatever I can to mitigate that threat.

If this means questioning, criti-cizing and holding the town lead-ers and decision makers account-able for their actions or inaction then that is exactly what I will do.

This is not negativity. It is in fact, democracy.

Susan DaveySidney

Ten lights to slow themThe simple solution to solve

the confusion at the McTavish Road traffic circles is the installa-tion of traffic lights.

Three on the most westerly roundabout, four on the centre one and three on the eastern circle.

These ten lights will slow traffic enough to allow drivers the time required to read the signs and make a decision as to which way to turn.

A further improvement would be to follow the local practice of having all the lights out of synch, slowing progress even more and thus greatly reducing the chance of collision.

Obviously, the ultimate solution

is a single light on the Pat Bay Highway and a dedicated delayed green left turn lane to the airport.

But, where would we get the political insight and funds for that?

Don ChambersBrentwood Bay

There will need to be a Beacon crossing

In my letter printed in the PNR on July 16, I suggested the land to be developed by the Airport Authority and Sidney could have an indoor, all-year-round Farmers’ Market, similar to Vancouver’s

Granville Island Market, linked to Sidney by a covered, pedestrian overpass.

As the plans are being final-ized for a pedestrian overpass, can protection from the weather be added for pedestrians and scooter users?

Once the market is opened on the south-west corner of Beacon Avenue, there will need to be a branch across Beacon Avenue.

Perhaps this can be built in the original construction of the over-pass?

It’s never as cheap as it is today.

D. ChildSidney

I am one of the few negative responses making demands regarding infrequent noise so eloquently referred to in the Peninsula News Review article regard-ing the noise from the bandstand.

The concerns of Pier residents were mis-represented by the article. As a result, the individuals who were quoted were misin-formed, as is now the general public who read the article.

This was never about park noise, the Sunday afternoon concerts nor sanctioned activities such as the sail past, Canada Day Celebrations, Tour de Rock or the like. This is about the noise generated from the bandstand from the ever increasing sanc-tioned activities and those that are not sanctioned, including bands and musicians that play loudly for hours on end, skate-boarders, buskers, people playing bongo drums and various musical instruments at all hours of the day and night.

The bandstand amplifies sound, so why do even sanctioned concerts need so much electronic amplification that we are blasted out of our condos?

We do believe we have the same right of inclusion in the Town of Sidney noise

bylaws that all other residential areas are entitled to.

Those of us who expressed concern to the Town were not interviewed for this flawed article. First, there are more than a few residents/taxpayers who expressed concern. Secondly, the bandstand was erected after our units were built and sold, with no consultation from the Town.

At no time was a replacement for the gazebo in the form of a naturally amplified all-weather venue ever discussed with us or the citizens of Sidney that we know of.

Yes, we knew and accept that there

would be park noise, but the natural ampli-fication of all sounds, especially musical, from the bandstand is certainly more noise than any other park in Sidney experiences. Nor have we ever suggested that any of the events hosted by the Peninsula Celebra-tions Society be curtailed.

The park is used by hundreds of people each week and their activities contribute to a vibrant downtown.

The park and its dynamics are not the exclusive domain of those using the band-stand — sanctioned or unsanctioned. On a regular basis, the park is used by hundreds

of people. We have made a request to the Town

that there be a balance of activities in the bandstand to accommodate both citizens and the residents/taxpayers who are inun-dated with noise frequently every day all day and a method to deal with unsanc-tioned noise.

We asked that sanctioned activities be carefully vetted with an understanding of the noise related issues, including taking into consideration when condo owners might wish for their own in-home cel-ebrations, such as on Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day, and that unsanctioned activi-ties that create undue noise are dealt with through our bylaws and bylaw enforce-ment.

As I type this at 8:30 on Saturday eve-ning, a trio of transients complete with grocery cart, backpacks, two dogs and three guitars have set up in the bandstand to entertain us for the evening. Sunday will be the afternoon concert followed by three hours of tango.

Welcome to our neighborhood!J. Rosene

District signs conditional agreement for 25 acres of Maber Flats landDevon MacKenzieNews staff

The District of Central Saanich entered into a conditional land sale and donation agreement to acquire 25 acres of land in Maber Flats last week.

The land, which would be used to construct an agricultural drain-age facility in the Hagan-Graham watershed, is currently owned by Brentwood Developments Ltd. No land would be removed from the ALR in the deal which the District said would improve flood control, water quality and stream health.

“Over the last few years, the District has successfully imple-mented channel improvements to Graham Creek south of Centennial Park,” said Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson.

“The creation of a detention facility in this area is the next priority in implementing the Dis-trict’s award-winning Integrated Stormwater Management Plan.”

An earlier concept of the project included a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to create a wetland area and nature

reserve, however, Bryson contin-ued, the current agreement is just between the District and Brent-wood Developments Ltd.

“I understand that District staff are still in discussions with the Nature Conservancy to see what, if any role they might have in the future, but there’s no undertakings at this time,” Bryson explained.

The deal between the District and the property owner also stipu-lates that a covenant be put on the ALR land to ensure that there can be no residential construction or

subdivision.Consultation on the project will

take place between the Tsartlip and Tsawout First Nations, as well as with the Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Peninsula Agri-cultural Committee, the Healthy Watershed Committee and the Advisory Planning Committee.

A public open house for the proj-ect is also scheduled for Wednes-day, Sept. 10 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Municipal Hall (1903 Mount New-ton X Rd.)

“The conditional purchase

agreement enables the District to seek the public’s input and con-sult with the relevant advisory committees before making a final decision,” said Bryson.

“Since the land is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, for the project to proceed, it will be important that Council and the Agricultural Land Commission are satisfied that the proposed works and drainage will enhance the overall agricultural capabil-ity of the valley,” he said, adding that once all the consultation is

complete, the District will decide if they will sign the final agreement in the late fall.

A donation by Brentwood Devel-opments Ltd. could reduce the purchase price of the land by 10 per cent from the independently appraised value of $1.17 million.

The District said the purchase would be funded through reserves and accumulated surplus and that no new property taxes would be levied to support the purchase.

The 2014 Victoria’s Largest Little Airshow held July 9 and 10 raised $24,000 and last week they presented a cheque for $12,000 each to CFAX Santas Anonymous and the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. The airshow has raised over $213,000 for the two charities over the 13 years. From left to right: Santa Bear, Elaine Greenway, Christine Hewitt, Gordon Benn, Dan Deringer, Jack Price, Mike Scholefield and Karen Morgan.

Almost the end of summer and relatives have suddenly realized that they haven’t visited dear old

Granny this year. They arrive without warning, sure of a warm welcome, only to find that Nanny has taken refuge in a motel and is hiding out there under a bed. (I’m lying, of course.)

There are a few older kids but they are more interested in their mobile devices than in discussing the coming school year, the world news or even the won-derful weather. The younger ones, bored out of their minds, whine and complain, wanting to go to the beach, to the park, to a candy store, just any place but where they are. So I flee!

I didn’t really, although I considered it (briefly) but decided I didn’t see them all that often, prob-ably only once a year since some of them live a long way off — Alberta, for example. There is just one family yet to come and these young ones are teenagers. They may also be bored but are too well trained to show it in public.

Shortly after arriving they will decide to go for a walk and after politely excusing themselves, depart (breathing a sigh of relief). I do have a basket of small toys, which briefly interest the younger ones and they will eat quite a number of cookies, but all too soon they want to leave and begin to wander around fingering small items such as a collection of sea shells from different parts of the world, or a tray full of silver family heirlooms I have just polished. I put out paper and crayons and for a few minutes they will draw but boredom soon takes over and they want to go ... anyplace. “Just let’s get out of here!”

It’s really not easy travelling with children, even older ones, but younger ones are murder. Some-one always either gets car sick or has a weak blad-der and demands frequent stops. No wonder there are so many divorces immediately after a summer

holiday travelling with kids!The maple trees along the road-

sides are changing colour although we haven’t had even a hint of frost. Some of you may recall a song that starts “the leaves of brown came tumbling down, remember, that September in the rain.”

We aren’t quite there yet but there is a definite flush of reddish-brown on these maple leaves and I realize we should be planning for a fall garden. It’s a good plan to dead-head spent flowers but leave the stems and stalks of lilies, dahl-ias, fox gloves and other perennials to replenish the roots as they die back. It gives you something worthwhile to do

when you want to get outside later, or when you decide to turn the compost pile. I know this is a tedious job, but it really gets the compost “work-ing.” When it get cold sometimes you can actually see steam rising from the decomposing compost. You’ve done something right.Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s

garden columnist for more than 30 years.

I don’t know if it’s a sign that the economy could be recovering or not, but we have certainly seen a rash of NVR policies lately. NVR means “New Vehicle Replacement” and we’ve seen a lot of brand new cars getting thumped.NVR policies are one or three year poliies that you can purchase when your vehicle is brand new. ICBC has a one year policy that guarantees you a new vehicle if the cost of repairs to your vehicle approaches 50 per cent of the cost of your new vehicle.Hmm. Sounds great doesn’t it?The problem is, what and who determines what your vehicle is worth?Scenario 1 - Customer gets rear ended in a brand new SUV. Has an NVR with a private carrier. Customer paid $36k for their SUV and the repair estimate is $22k. No brainier right? Uh huh. Insurance company says vehicle is worth $44k and wants to repair it. Big court battle going on.Scenario 2 - Super nice guy gets rear ended in his new F150. Hit hard at the left rear. Insurance company says half the value of the truck is $22k. He did not pay that. Repair bill is $16k, thus making it a repair. Customer now has a depreciation of $16k on his truck. Big court battle

in the works. Lawyers loving it.The common thread is that it isn’t what you paid for your vehicle that determines what your vehicle is worth. It’s the cost to replace your vehicle that is the magic number. Is it a good policy to have? We have seen some vehicles that are obviously a total loss that the NVR hasn’t even come into play, so we can’t really say yay or nay. We really don’t like repairing vehicles that are close to being totalled. We don’t re-build vehicles for that speci� c reason. When something is hit too hard, it should be thrown away and � agged “dismantle only.” That vehicle should not be allowed back on the streets again.In two states in Australia, it is now illegal to rebuild total losses. Safety was a huge concern and it should be that way here, in my opinion. The � rst scenario is going to be very interesting to follow. If the vehicle is totalled, where will it go and who will be driving it next year?

SIDNEY — Next weekend the Bard is coming to Sidney.

The Victoria Shake-speare by the Sea The-atre Company recently performed at Clover Point in Victoria. They will bring this year’s two shows — MacBeth and A Comedy of Errors — to Sidney Sept. 4 to 6 under the Beacon Park bandshell.

Steve Duck, the owner of Tides Group, a Sidney destination and event services company, said new this year will be the addi-tion of a third tent over the audience to shield people from the ele-ments.

The Bard on Beacon summer outdoor the-atre event happened for the first time last year when Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night’s Dream were per-formed.

Performances this year will still be interac-tive with the audience and performers will once again use cranes to take flight in charac-ter.

Tides this year is also inviting young thes-pians to the Stratford School — free acting classes for youth age six to 18 on the Satur-day and Sunday of the performances.

The shows begin

Thursday, Sept. 4 with the curtain rising at 7 p.m. with A Comedy of Errors. Friday’s 7 p.m. show is MacBeth.

On Saturday, Sept. 6 the matinee perfor-mance begins at 2 p.m. and the evening’s show opens at 7 p.m. Both

will be A Comedy of Errors. Sunday’s mati-nee and evening perfor-mances (same times as the day before) will be MacBeth.

Duck said this year will set the standard for subsequent per-formances, adding his

goal is create remark-able cultural experi-ences in Sidney.

Bard on Beacon is a ticketed event and they cost $25 each.

North Saanich farms and gardens were busy over the weekend dur-ing the annual Flavour Trail.

The two-day North Saanich event is under the umbrella of the Saa-nich Peninsula Flavour Trails — managed by the Capital Regional Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR). It features local farms, food and agricultural experi-ences in many different

venues.On Sunday, the PNR

travelled to three of the Flavour Trail venues — Epicure Selections, the Wild Edge Garden Farm and the White House Stables.

At Epicure Selections, a crowd gathered to watch a sheep herding demonstration by Julie Carter, Helen Christian-son and dogs Tess and Bobbie. They showed how well-trained animals are able to respond to their mas-ters and get wayward sheep into a waiting

pen. Sheep herding has been a popular event at the North Saanich Fla-vour Trails and people stayed long afterwards to ask questions about the dogs, the training and to drink wine sam-ples at the farm.

The next stop was Heather Goulet’s Wild Edge Garden Farm on Norris Road. She has

been growing vegeta-bles and more for 35 years. Among all of the plants are many of Gou-let’s concrete art cre-ations.

The Wild Edge is a place where neighbour-ing artists like Judy McLaren can gather to show off their work and take part in local work-shops.

The weekend also saw Solara Goldwynn deliver workshops on permaculture — or edi-ble landscaping — for many visitors.

The final stop was at the White House Stables, where farm workers offered the public tours of a work-ing farm, complete with pigs, turkeys, chickens,

a friendly donkey and thoroughbred horses.

The White House Sta-bles was a popular spot along the Flavour Trail, where families could see for themselves how local food and animals are grown and raised.

Amblyopiaa.k.a. “Lazy Eye”

The word “amblyopia” is Greek in origin and it quite literally means slow vision. The term “lazy eye” is often used to describe amblyopia to patients.

If an eye is to become amblyopic, it will do so during the period of visual development between birth and about ten years of age. One eye is sending a weaker signal to the brain; therefore fewer connections will be made to the brain for that eye. This condition can occur if one is born with eyes signifi cantly different prescriptions. Over time, the ability to use both eyes at once is diminished. The brain has many cells requiring input from both eyes. These cells, devoted to binocular vision and depth perception, are unable to develop if both eyes are not sending a strong signal, consequently the weaker eye wanders. Researchers disagree about the exact age up to which amblyopia can be successfully treated. They do agree however that the key to remediating amblyopia is early detection and treatment. Remember, the fi rst eye examination should be at around the third birthday.

In nine days the Pen-insula Panthers will open their 2014/15 Van-couver Island Junior Hockey League regular season when they play host to the Westshore Wolves on Sept. 5 at the Panorama Recreation Centre.

The Club will be hold-ing their main camp this coming weekend with inter-squad games set for Friday, Satur-day and Sunday with a round of player cuts to follow. Then a full week of practice will take place before the season opener next Friday eve-ning at 7:30 p.m.

There will be sweep-ing changes on a lineup that was ranked near the top of the VIJHL last season said team owner and manager, Pete Zubersky.

In the end, the Pan-thers lost to the Victo-ria Cougars in a hard fought six-game playoff series.

Zubersky said local

fans should expect to see a lion’s share of local graduates from the Peninsula Minor Hockey Association.

“There’s no doubt about it,” said Zuber-sky. “We will feature a lot of local kids and that is a real benefit of hav-ing a junior club right in your own back yard.

“It has always been our way of doing busi-ness, giving opportuni-ties to kids right here in our community, and this season will be no different.

“I would expect that we might have ten or more local players nail-ing down spots in the club and that will cer-tainly raise the excite-ment level with our fan base.

“There is nothing like coming out on a Fri-day night and watch-ing the faces that you know, the kids that you have watched growing up wanting to play on the Peninsula Panthers team.”
