A pilot program to cull Canada geese in Central Saanich could begin in the next few weeks as non-migratory birds enter molting

season.On Monday, the municipality was await-

ing word from the Capital Regional District about whether a permit would be issued to begin the cull. Initially, about 300 non-migra-tory geese will be culled out of a popula-

tion of 6,000. If the program is successful, Central Saanich could then look at a more comprehensive cull.

A non-native species, Canada geese were introduced as goslings in the 1960s by Environment Canada and other groups who were looking to increase opportunities

for hunters. The transplanted birds were so young they had not yet learned how to migrate and therefore couldn’t implant the information to subsequent generations.

A combatant in armoured battle gets ready to strike. While the combat gets much of the attention, members of the Society of Creative Anachronism participate in a variety of middle ages and Renaissance activities.

All out warSteven HeywoodNews Staff

A clashing of shields and swords echoed throughout Heritage Acres park in Central Saanich over the weekend, as two warring baronies set up their respective camps and waged war.

An annual event, the Barony of Seagirt (Victoria) and Barony of Lion’s Gate (Vancouver) meet on the field of battle,

middle ages science, Renaissance crafts, archery and more, to fight for brag-ging rights. This year, their combat was held on the Island. Baron Conall (or Nathan Brown as he’s known among the mundane) says close to 250 people were at Heritage Acres park, rejoicing in the activities of the Society for Cre-ative Anachronism, or SCA.

The SCA was founded in the 1960s, he says, and branches can be found all over the world. Members dedicate themselves to arts and crafts and battle from the middle ages. How involved they want to be — including making armour, tents and crafts from materials and techniques only found before the 1600s — is up to each individual, he says.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, June 3, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview • A5

Instead of flying else-where to breed, the birds stay in one place, flocking to local farms and feasting on the abundance of food.

With a decline in hunting, the population of geese has boomed.

There are now so many of the birds that they threaten the region’s ecosystem and could even affect food security on the Island,

said Central Saanich Mayor Ryan Windsor.

“Especially at this time of year, when crops are just get-ting established, to have something that was introduced by (humans) that can have such a huge impact, it’s important we take on the responsibility of managing (this prob-lem),” Windsor said.

During molting sea-son, the birds lose their wing feathers and

are less mobile. The flightless foul gather together and can strip

their surroundings of turf and vegetation.

Central Saanich has tried deterrents such as noise cannons as well as less controver-sial methods of popu-lation control such as egg addling, which uses various techniques to sterilize the eggs.

However, addling would likely take decades to be effec-tive and requires exten-sive labour from large groups of volunteers.

The method is effective at stopping some eggs from hatching but nest-ing pairs of geese con-tinue to produce new eggs.

The pilot program

will use a form of euth-anization, though the exact method has not been confirmed.

“My understanding is there will be a trai-lerized gasification of

the geese but the per-mit will determine the exact methodology,” Windsor said.

CENTRAL SAANICH — The District of Central Saanich expects to start mail-ing out property tax notices this Friday, June 5.

The notices are being sent about two to three weeks later than usual because of a technical mistake with data from the Capital Regional District.

The municipality held two special council meetings late last week to cor-rect the problem.

“We apologize for the delay caused by this minor error and appreciate the public’s understanding,” Mayor Ryan Windsor said.

Under provincial law, the tax bills must be paid by July 2. — News staff

The goose problem

The burgeoning population of non-migratory geese can cause problems:

• Thousands of dollars lost from destroyed crops and damaged farmland• Loss of other waterfowl species that can’t compete with the aggressive territorial nature of nesting geese• Over-grazing of sensitive natural areas such as estuaries• Ruined turf surfaces at public fields and parks.

Sidney & North Saanich• On May 22 & 23, two 90-day Immedi-

ate Roadside Prohibitions (IRPs) were issued by Sidney North Saanich RCMP. One came at a roadblock on Highway 17 at Amity Street, another at the Chevron parking lot in Sidney. Both drivers were operating their vehicles (one was a motorcycle) with over 100mg% alcohol in their bodies (the legal limit is 80 mg%).

• On May 25 at 6 p.m., a vehicle entering the McTavish Road roundabout from Canora Road did not notice another vehicle already in the roundabout and they collided, causing minor damage. There were no injuries and one driver was issued a violation ticket for disobeying a

yield sign.

• A cougar was spotted on Victoria Interna-tional Airport property on May 26, near Willing-don and West Saanich roads. Police went to the area to warn pedestrians but the cougar was not found.

• Police are reminding people to lock their vehicles, following a series of thefts from unlocked vehicles in the Willis Point area.

• Police also remind people to use caution when dealing with people who go door-to-door, offering their services. To avoid scams, check with the Better Business Bureau to confirm the validity of business licences, prior to any work being done inside the home.

OUR VIEW

We might call ourselves Super, Natural or even The Best Place on Earth,

but how is B.C. viewed around the world?

Ever since U.S. billionaires and their environmental clients decided more than a decade ago to supervise our society, the impression that British Columbia is a primitive colonial backwater in need of “saving” has only been reinforced.

In late April, the province and coastal aboriginal leaders announced completion of marine planning areas for Haida Gwaii and the North and Central Coast. U.S. activists knew about the announcement weeks before the legislature press gallery did, and a documentary crew was sent up to advance the narrative of the saving of the “Great Bear Rainforest.”

Within minutes of the announcement, the World Wildlife Fund website trumpeted the creation of the “Great Bear Sea,” continuing the penchant of outsiders for renaming large parts of B.C. to fit their marketing strategies.

Unlike the “Great Bear Rainforest” land use deal of 2007, the Sierra Club, ForestEthics and Greenpeace were not represented. Instead, Tides Canada CEO Ross McMillan sat beaming in the audience.

McMillan’s role in directing U.S. foundation money to B.C. has

prompted him to declare himself “a principal architect of the Great Bear Rainforest project,” although in the early years he and his staff (currently 24 people) stayed behind the scenes while Sierra, Greenpeace et al took the credit.

At the event, two aboriginal leaders gave a nod to the real funder

of the ongoing effort to “save” the B.C. coast, the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation. Gordon Moore is a co-founder of Intel Corp., maker of most of the world’s computer processor chips, now spending his vast fortune on the Amazon basin, B.C. and other “threatened” places.

Other Silicon Valley and Seattle billionaires helped finance the original effort,

and a strategy document surfaced in 2008 describing their plan to de-market the Alberta oilsands by creating a blockade against energy exports on our Pacific coast. That campaign has featured a fake cancer study and grossly exaggerated greenhouse gas claims compared to U.S. coal and oil production.

The effort has since expanded to natural gas, with false horror stories about “fracking” finding a receptive global audience.

Last week I wrote about the plan by British manufacturing conglomerate Reckitt Benckiser to buy up farms in the B.C. Interior and replant them with trees. Contrary to my description, “RB Trees for

Change” isn’t participating in the dodgy European carbon credit market.

They’re just doing it for global marketing purposes, covering pioneer-cleared farms of our colonial backwater with forest for 100 years so they can advertise their soaps and cold pills as carbon neutral. Another 10,000 hectares of B.C. “saved” from destruction by benevolent foreign interests!

Back to reality. B.C.’s Auditor General issued a report last week calling on the province to do more to prevent the “cumulative effects” of industrial development. A familiar example of this is the struggle to maintain caribou herds in northern B.C.

The B.C. government mustered a response from the multiple ministries that have worked on this since 2010.

Among other things, they noted that 90 per cent of B.C.’s vast area is now covered by regional land use plans created to manage cumulative impacts. A whopping 37 per cent of B.C. is designated as parks and protected areas for environmental and cultural values.

Maybe that’s still not good enough, but it’s better than anything I can find in Europe or the U.S. That’s particularly true of California, home of Hollywood, Silicon Valley, a pipeline spill, heavy oil refining and gridlocked freeways.

Start with respectR

espect for your neighbours.That should be in the purchase

agreement for any home sale.In recent editions, the News

Review has fielded letters about noise regulations (in North Saanich specifically) when it comes to enjoyment of one’s backyard. Some folks thing they’re too draconian and prevent the enjoyment of one’s personal space. Others like the rules, and like peace and quiet when they want it.

Neither side in this debate is necessarily wrong — and the existence of a seemingly restrictive bylaw only means there may have

been trouble in the past between neighbours who did not respect each other.

Most bylaws like these are not

enforced until someone makes a complaint.So, if you never speak to your neighbours,

never ask them to be helpful if there’s an issue with noise (or anything else for that matter), then you’re more likely to run right to the municipality and complain.

Your neighbour’s reaction? The first they’ve heard about it. Might not have even realized there was a problem. Then, the resentment sets in.

See where there might have been a better solution to this problem?

A simple, respectful conversation should be where neighbours start — not barking at each other over the fence.

A neighbourhood should be a place where diverse families live, where there’s the sounds of children, lawn mowers perhaps and even conversation that might rise and fall in volume. And then, when its early or late, everybody tries to be considerate of each other. After all, who wants to hear that lawn mower crank up at 6 a.m. — or 11 p.m.?

Start with respect and you may find your neighbourhood is lot more peaceful.

Revisit other options for Beacon Avenue

Re: Letter from Gra-ham Scholes in the PNR, April 22.

In 1989 I was able to have the proposed interchange at Beacon Avenue cancelled in a meeting with the then Minister of Highways, Rite Johnson, and three local mayors. The argument: such access to the Town of Sidney would damage or even destroy the viability of the retail sector in the down-town.

Yes, I even provided an alternative, men-tioned in the April 22 letter and distributed 500 brochures at my own cost.

The opposition to an Ocean Avenue inter-change by the Victoria Airport Authority was political. They wanted a big interchange at McTavish Road. The tunnel argument was a red herring since the recommendation was for a split grade inter-change with a slightly depressed grade on Ocean Avenue and the highway elevated to go over Ocean Avenue.

My alternatives were not acted upon.

Fast forward, the traffic situation in Sid-ney is a mess. More and more retail shop are closing. Many so-called traffic studies have been done at considerable cost to taxpayers, filed and not acted on.

Today there’s an eco-nomic development committee. Will they listen to the experts in town planning, traffic distribution experts and retail sales experts? I doubt it.

Forget about spend-ing money of Beacon Wharf or the new fire hall, the pedestrian

overpass — for the time being anyway. Forget about spend-ing money on projects which will do little to solve the problems identified by the SOS (Support Our Sidney group).

As a long time resi-dent, I have seen lost opportunity after lost opportunity. Start look-ing at priorities and spend money first on a town planning consul-tant with experience in traffic engineering. Go for the best firm in Canada, and have them revisit the “other option.”

W. ZonnenbergSidney

Still a first-class MP

Elizabeth May did blunder when she stood on stage some weeks ago and made regrettable adverse remarks that landed her in hot water.

However, I, consider her a first class MP. She is not afraid to tackle problems and is vocal in her beliefs when standing up to the big boys in the east.

It is incredible how quickly people hurl stones and mud when a notable personality displays a fleeting lack of judgment.

We all make errors

from time to time.Give Elizabeth May

some slack, and focus on the honorable core of this MP. She genuinely cares about people. This was evi-dent at the end of April when a local accoun-tant phoned her in a panic about an e-mail from the Canadian Rev-enue Agency, mistak-enly sent, regarding the deadline for 2014 tax returns. May moved swiftly, contacting the Minister in Ottawa and within a short period of time the mistake was rectified.

That is proficiency.Margaret J. Jestico

I can sympathise with Mr. Lam and others in his position who find it time-challenging to hold down full-time jobs, raise a family and look after a household and garden.

He likes to keep Saturday for his fam-ily day but of course you won’t get everyone to agree on which day of the week should be set aside as a quiet day, be it for visiting family, for attending church, going for a hike or any of the

other many activities that don’t require the use of outdoor machinery.

As it stands in North Saanich and in many other communities including Sidney, Sunday is the day. I and many others appreciate those of my neighbours who respect the North Saanich bylaws.

In the Victoria chap-ter of SCA — the Bar-ony of Seagirt, Brown says there are around 250 members and they come from up and down Vancouver Island.

“War is what (this weekend) is about,” he says. “It’s the Sea Lion War and it’s us versus them (the Vancouver branch).”

Points are awarded for more than doing battle in armour and with rapiers, he contin-ues. People who make crafts, are good archers, win at games or who help out with children’s events or with visitors (the mundane, as they are known) can earn points. They all add up and at this weekend’s gathering, Brown says he’s confident Seagirt would prevail.

The battles them-selves are very detailed and follow rules. It’s not

just hack and slash.“Everybody here has

a real life job, so there are very specific rules.”

That’s why battles can last a while, or be

over in a short time — blows are registered as if real and there is hon-our among the combat-ants.

Knights, or seasoned

members of the SCA, teach others how to block and strike effec-tively. Kerry MacGara-ith (or Kerry La Hay) from Fort St. John says

“it’s all about tech-nique.”

La Hay travelled all the way to the Island for the weekend event and not only did he engage in battle, but he spent Sunday helping newcomers to the field.

One of those was Sibhaidh (or Angela Gallant of Vancouver) who got into armoured combat only two weeks ago after seeing her son train in junior combat.

“I’ve been in SCA for years and I’ve just started doing this part,” she says. “I absolutely love it. It’s my first war in armour.”

Brown adds mem-bers make their own armour as best they can, basing their designs on period styles from a variety of regions — England, France, Scandinavia, to name a few.

In the end, it’s all about the fun, Brown says.

As you may have guessed I come from a long line

of “gleaners.”My dictionary

defines gleaning as “picking up.” I define it as “gathering.”

In our case it meant gathering wild food-stuffs. I don’t know how far back this tradition went ... my Grandfather certainly was a gleaner of those marvelous small wild blackberries that make fantastic pie (not those fat Hima-layan ones that have become a pest and a menace).

Not many people gather the wild ones now and they don’t know what they are missing. Jim, my dar-ling departed husband, adopted the habit with enthusiasm. He called it “getting something for nothing,” which was not quite true. You didn’t pay money for what you found, but it was a lot of hard work.

The berries were small, they grew on very thorny vines and the best ones always seemed to be in burned-off areas of the forest, so they grew amongst blackened fallen trees, in pretty well inaccessi-ble areas. But they were worth every scratch, every filthy garment, every bruised knee or stained lower lip (you had to eat a few to give you the strength to go on picking).

Grandpa, who lived many years ago in Washington State, used

to pick them by the bucket and my Grand-mother bottled them for winter pies (no freezers in those days).

As kids, my brothers and I picked and ate blackcaps, wild rasp-berries, wild strawber-ries, huckleberries and sour grass.

More recently I picked and cooked and ate wild “shaggy mane” mushrooms. Jim drew a line in the sand over them and refused to be tempted, but they tasted great and I sur-vived, didn’t I?

Please don’t try it without careful research though.

We also gleaned sting-ing nettles, wearing gloves and using scis-sors to harvest only the top cluster and the first true leaves. They taste like a more sharply fla-voured spinach.

We also harvested

fiddleheads, the deli-cious crisp, curled ends of emerging ferns. These also need proper identification, as the common sword fern’s emerging foliage is mildly poisonous.

I have actually seen fiddleheads recently in grocery-store freezers and decided they must now be being raised

commercially. I’m not tempted to

buy these. ... they just couldn’t taste the same without the agony and the delight of picking them in the woods, down by the edge of a deep valleyed stream.

The climb up to the road was always a killer!

Your back was tired

from leaning over, the bag of fiddleheads was awkward and had to be treated tenderly.

The valley was deep and the sides steep and slippery, but, oh, those fiddleheads did taste marvelous and were a rare and delectable treat when steamed and topped with a sprinkle of salt and a

little bit of butter.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation

The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers.

The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by arti� cial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers.

UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not pres-ent any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scienti� c evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision.

If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensi-tivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes.

Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more seri-ous. Scienti� c research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a cloud-ing of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible.

The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The lon-ger your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or do-ing anything in the sun.

To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown.

If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation.

Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

Join us for an evening of reporting on our findings and sharing ideas about wastewater and urban design.

Following a briefing from the Eastside Select Committee, we’ll be joined by award-winning architect and urban thinker, Bruce Haden. Haden will share ideas and case studies for the architectural and design possibilities for wastewater infrastructure here and around the world.

VICTORIA — Mayor Lisa Helps is hoping other municipalities will consider creating their own housing trust fund to address the issue of homelessness

in the Capital Regional District.

Victoria City Coun-cil sent a letter to the municipalities of Esqui-malt, Oak Bay, North and Central Saanich,

View Royal, Metchosin and Highlands recently encouraging them to establish a housing trust fund.

Victoria is one of six municipalities on the

Island to have its own fund specifically for affordable housing ini-tiatives

“It has been very effective,” said Helps. “It gets used up and

replenished, so the money is not just sit-ting there.”

City council recently increased the amount it contributes to $1 mil-lion from $250,000.

According to city documents, they have helped build more than 700 units for roughly 18 local non-profit organi-zations with the fund.

Currently, almost all municipalities pay into the district’s Regional Housing Trust Fund, so not all councils are jumping at the idea of establishing another homelessness fund.

The Township of Esquimalt contributes $37,000 annually to the $1.3-million fund.

“We are affordable within an unaffordable region,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjar-dins, noting the results of a recent report. “We are affordable and at the end of the day, we are contributing to the CRD fund and that is all we need to do at this point.”

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said the letter hasn’t come to council yet and will likely be brought up at the next meeting. But he said he

prefers to keep the cur-rent system with the CRD.

“I think there is strength in numbers. Instead of creating our own little housing trust funds that are admin-istered for different reasons, I think we get more bang for our buck when we work together on affordable housing.”

Oak Bay contributes just over $60,000 annu-ally to the fund.

But Helps said coun-cils should look at homelessness as a regional issue.

“There’s a certain feeling that the capi-tal regional trust fund might be the best body for regional housing and I agree with that, but we also need other people in the region to contribute to it,” she said.

“It’s an incredibly effective tool for actu-ally getting housing built.”

SAANICH — District of Saanich councillors are moving forward on the governance review referen-dum question that local electors voted heavily in favour of at the Nov. 15 municipal election.

The decision was made recently to draft a letter to Coralee Oakes, Minister of Community, Sport and Cultural Development. By doing so, Saanich would join Victoria, Esquimalt, Sidney, Central Saa-nich, North Saanich and Colwood, as all have sent formal letters to her office requesting the study, which would be non-binding and examine several models of regional integration.

Saanich and Langford were recently called out for delaying an interest in the provincially funded study of Capital Region amalgamation.

“It was a robust conversation, we want to know what the financial costs will be and if terms of the study will assess the potential impact on Saanich,” said Coun. Fred Haynes, who seconded the motion put forth by Coun. Colin Plant.

Saanich was criticized at the time of the munici-pal election for dodging amalgamation in the refer-endum and calling for a governance review.

But Haynes, in his first term on council, defended the decision.

“There is a range of values Saanich would like to see in the study but we want to be clear, we’re not asking for amalgamation at this point, that’s only part of the governance review,” Haynes said. “And we want public input, this is a community-led initiative after all.”

Plant is pleased it’s going forward, having amended his motion to the approval of his peers.

“Yesterday we weren’t writing a letter (to Oakes), today we are,” Plant said. “At the next committee of the whole meeting there will be public input, and I hope we’ll be willing in principle to partici-pate in an amalgamation study.”

The next committee of the whole meeting is either June 15 or 22.

CENTRAL SAANICH — Fresh strawberries and a glass of good wine are favourite flavours on their own. Paired together, they complement each other while paying compliment to some of the best tastes being produced on the Saa-nich Peninsula.

On June 20 and 21, the third annual Strawberries and Wine Festival takes place at more than 25 loca-tions on the Peninsula. The event showcases the talent of farmers, vintners and

chefs at various venues, including local wineries, res-taurants and hotels.

One of the highlights this year promises to be a stop at MOSI Bakery and Cafe,

serving gelato made from local strawberries. Other venues offer everything from signature strawberry-themed cocktails to sal-ads, entrees and, of course,

shortcake.For details on all the stops

and what they’re serving, check out flavourtrails.com.

The festival is an initiative of the Saanich Peninsula Fla-

vour Trails program, man-aged by the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initia-tives Roundtable.

On Sunday, Steve Duck and Pedego Victoria will fea-

ture an electric bicycle tour of the Peninsula. Join in on your own bike or take it a little easier on an electric bicycle for the 20 km tour, which gets underway at noon from the Roost Farm Centre in North Saanich. The ride includes stops at farms and wineries to cel-ebrate strawberries and wine. The cost is $49 if you bring your own bike and $99 to use a Pedego elec-tric bike. Visit Tidesgroup.com or call 250 999-2997 for more information.

Committed to safety since 1953.

OF THE ROUTE IS ON THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY.73%

(or 98km) WILL REQUIRE NEW ROUTING.10%

WILL FOLLOW OTHER LINEAR INFRASTRUCTURES, SUCH AS HYDRO, TELUS, RAILWAYS AND HIGHWAYS.

17%

The proposed Trans Mountain Expansion follows the existing

route or other linear infrastructure for 90% of the way.

That means less than 100 kms needs to be moved to undisturbed

lands. These reroutes will be made to improve safety and address

environmental considerations, and will accommodate changes

in land usage since the pipeline was originally built in 1953.

We’ve been talking with the public, stakeholders, landowners

and Aboriginal communities along the proposed corridor to hear

their concerns. We expect you will ask questions. We’ve made

adjustments in many places to address the concerns we’ve heard.

Our intention in all of our planning is to minimize the impact on

residents, communities and the environment, while ensuring that

safe construction and operations are possible.

NORTH SAANICH — A talented quartet of Mt. Douglas Secondary School senior students will be performing at Jazz Vespers at St. John’s United Church on June 7 at 7 p.m.

The band, named Coretette, includes Connor Harrison on bass, Nick Takeda on drums, Danté André-Kahan on guitar and Meghan Porter on vocals and sax.

Harrison has been playing guitar for eight years. Four years ago, he also took up the bass and has

since worked to develop and improve his music skills by playing in a variety of different ensembles and with an array of instruments.

Takeda has been playing drums for seven years, developing his musical skills through the Mt. Doug music program and private lessons. Though com-fortable in a variety of musical styles, jazz is his favourite music to play.

André-Kahan has been playing guitar and classical percus-sion for seven years. Having been raised on the sounds of music from around the world, Danté studies many cultures and incorpo-rates their music into his playing and com-posing styles.

His current proj-ects are Coretette and his solo work, and he is planning to release some of his own music in the near future.

Porter began clas-sical music and violin lessons when she was seven years old.

Four years later, she began studying the alto saxophone, and more recently, vocals.

Meghan credits her travels in the Carib-bean and Western Europe with influencing her musical style.

The Jazz Vespers series will take a break over the summer and return on Sept. 13 with the band Hi-Fi.

Jazz Vespers services begin at 7 p.m.

St. John’s United Church is located at 10990 West Saanich Rd., across from Deep Cove School.

There is no admis-sion but an offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Vespers pro-gram.

For further informa-

tion, call Bernadette at 250-656-0875 or email bernadettegreene@

vices.

MASSEN, Elizabeth Dec.18 1925 - May 13, 2015

Elizabeth passed away at the age of 89. Born in Belfast,

Northern Ireland, she was the last of 9 siblings of the McK-ibben family. She was predeceased by her husband Robert (Bob) Massen in 1996.

Betty leaves behind her daughter Eileen (Robert Ballantyne); son Danny (Donalda Serle); grandchildren Lisa (Monty), Annette (Tony), Tyra (Gede) and Ryan; great-grand-children Jacquelyn, Kyle, Samuel and Kensie; two sisters-in-law, one brother-in-law and many nieces and nephews in Ontario and Ireland. The Keeping family were also an important part of her life.

Betty came to Canada in 1946, settling in Victoria with Bob. She was a cashier, store owner and landlord. She went to school to become a LPN and worked in several area hospitals.

She was a volunteer with the Red Cross, March of Dimes, with Cadboro Bay Cub Scouts as Akela and her church. In 1991, Betty was a cameraperson at Shaw TV for a local program called “Managing Your Money”. Mom was a seamstress, a knitter and a gardener. She learned her work ethic building the Lancaster Bomber aircraft in Belfast during WW11.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Monday, June 8 from 1-3 pm at the Lodge at Broadmead. No flowers by request.

Donations may be made to the Alzeheimer Society of BC or the Broadmead Care Society, in Elizabeth’s memory.

SAANICH — A trio of students at Royal Roads University are behind a new run in the 2015 race calendar.

The Great Island Run will start and fin-ish in the Beaver Lake Park on June 20, with distances of 10, five and one kilometres. Proceeds from the run will benefit therapy

programs at the Mount St. Mary Hospital resi-dential care home in Victoria. It was a cause the students immedi-ately clicked with when a representative spoke to their professional communications class at RRU earlier this year, said Alex Illingworth, a 26-year-old from Guaya-quil, Ecuador.

“We wanted to do something for the com-munity and to bring the

community together. People know the legacy of (the Sisters of St. Ann), we thought it’d be something palpable for the city.”

Illingworth brings previous experience in advertising and is passionate about pre-sentation. He admits to deferring to proj-ect teammate and for-mer collegiate track-and-field athlete Dmi-triy Kuleshov when it

comes to race logistics.“The one kilometre

walk-run is for kids, we want everyone to feel welcome, but we are also inviting competi-tive runners, runners of any level,” said Kule-shov, who is here from Calgary.

“This race is to raise awareness and funds for the therapy programs, we were inspired by the resi-dents at St. Mary’s,” he

said.The Great Island

Run is shaping up nicely with sponsors on board, but there’s always room for more, Kuleshov said.

“The group hasn’t faced any challenges, the Capital Regional District and insurance company for the race have all been very co-operative.”

The run was origi-nally scheduled for

May 8 but the project team, which includes a third partner, Karen Velazquez, moved it to June 20 and has put the extra time into making it that much better of an event, Illingworth said.

“We know you have to build something step by step and even though I won’t be here next year, that doesn’t mean we aren’t hop-ing the torch will be passed, it would be amazing if it ran annu-ally.”

Chief Harvey Under-wood of the Tsawout First Nation will be part of the opening ceremo-nies at 9:30 a.m. fol-lowed by the 10km run at 10 a.m.

In Brief

Stelly’s 6th in B.C.

A stellar soccer season for the Stelly’s Stingers senior girls team came to an end at the hands of McMath Saturday at UVic.

Hosts of the 2015 AAA Girls B.C. cham-pionships, Stelly’s Secondary came up short, 2-1 in the fifth/sixth place game . It was the Central Saa-nich’s school’s only loss in the tournament that saw a couple of tie scored place them second in their pool.

Coquitlam’s Dr. Charles Best school won the champion-ship, defeating Fleet-wood of Surrey.
