A group of eight women will hit the water this weekend for a snorkeling relay across the Saanich Inlet.

Alisa Preston (owner of Rockfish Divers in Brentwood Bay), Maryann Watson, Darienne Lancaster, Françoise Gervais, Kylee Pawluk,

Shawna Cheyne, Jamie McDevitt-Irwin and Karen Cram will snorkel across the Saanich Inlet on Saturday, June 21 to help raise funds for Gervais who has been selected to be part of the 2014-16 SEDNA Expedition in the Arc-tic starting this summer.

“We’ll all start in the water around 9 a.m. in Mill Bay and then we will pair down to two in the water and we will switch out between us

to make sure we always have two swimmers in the water at all times,” explained Preston, who added the group estimates the swim to be about 13 kilometers in length.

“It will be really dependant on the weather that day as to how quickly we’ll be able to do it,” said Preston.

An exchange of proposals between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and gov-ernment negotiators on the weekend dissolved in acrimony Monday, with a full-scale strike in public schools already underway.

Negotiators for the BCTF and the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association met until midnight Sunday, as the union moved from rotating strikes to a full walkout with a “study session” on Mon-day. The two sides contradicted each other on the substance of the wage offers and each said the next move is up to the other if a deal is to be reached.

BCTF president Jim Iker said Monday a complete strike is “imminent,” after union members endorsed the move in their second province-wide strike vote.

Education Minister Peter Fass-bender said Monday he is waiting for a response from the union to the latest offer from BCPSEA, which represents the province’s 60 school districts. BCP-SEA chief negotiator Peter Cameron said Monday he still does not have a full position from the BCTF that clari-fies the status of the union’s “truckload of benefit proposals.”

Cameron said the union’s latest wage offer is a reduction from its previous position, but when increased benefit costs are factored in, it is still more than twice as much compensation as other public sector union settlements.

BCPSEA posted a comparison of the two wage offers Monday. It describes the BCTF proposal as a $5,000 signing bonus.

At the beginning of the month, the B.C. gov-

ernment announced $1 million and a plan

– Together to Reduce Elder Abuse – a strat-

egy based mostly on social media to raise

awareness of the issue facing many seniors in

this province.The effort uses the

hashtag #RespectSe-niors and the B.C. Cen-tre for Elder Advocacy and Support handle, @BCCEAS to allow peo-ple to express support for seniors and spread the word about elder abuse issues.

Isobel Mackenzie, B.C.’s new Seniors Advocate, says this is a step towards educat-ing people on the real-ity of elder abuse in this province – but says it must go further.

“Social media may or may not be the right avenue,” she said. “Not all seniors are there yet. We’ll still need phone numbers to call, people to talk to, as well as easy-to-use web sites.”

As an education tool for younger people, Mackenzie said it, too, is only a start. More must be done, she said, to help people recog-nize what is, and what is not, elder abuse and how they can report it.

Elder abuse can take many forms, Mackenzie explained. For exam-ple, a senior living in substandard housing may feel they have no choice but to do so, and be charged too much. There are physical, financial and emotional forms of elder abuse, Mackenzie continued, and it takes a lot to be able to recognize it as something quite seri-ous, or just a decision you happen to disagree with – a situation that can happen to anyone, age 45 or age 85.

“Clearly, we aren’t communicating every-thing in a way that everyone can see or digest. We need to make it easy, use a simple approach to speak to seniors to explain the services and programs they are entitled to in their communities.”

Mackenzie said rec-ognizing elder abuse can be as easy as talk-ing to your neighbours, their families and care-givers.

• On Tuesday, June 3 a Sidney resident was con-tacted via telephone and told that she was eligible to receive $15,300. She was told in order to receive this money, she needed to pay 10 per cent of that amount in taxes and trans-fer fees. Unfortunately, she sent $1,530 via a wire trans-fer to the Phillipines and has not received the money promised to her. Police are reminding people that this is a common fraud scheme and once money is sent to a foreign country, there is very little that police can do to help.

• On June 3 it was reported that someone broke in to a boat at the North Saa-nich Marina. The boat is a 31 foot long vessel moored on the South dock.

Police say suspects entered the boat, rummaged through cupboards and found and drank liquor that was left on the boat. After, the suspects stole a six-foot white Trojan brand dinghy from the back of the boat. Police are still investigating the theft and are asking any-one with information to call them at 250-656-3931.

• Sidney Home Hardware contacted police to report a theft on June 6 after a foolish thief made off with four lawn chairs, valued at over $300, from the back lot.

Two quick-thinking employees obtained a licence plate number from the vehicle as it was leav-ing the parking lot and the registered owner of the truck (who was known to police) was apprehended at his home within minutes. Con-veniently, officers found him sitting in the sunshine in one of the stolen chairs.

• Sidney North Saanich RCMP have been out in full force on weekend mornings conducting road checks for impaired driving.

The efforts have resulted in impaired drivers being taken off the streets including five immediate roadside prohibi-tions over a two hour span. Police are reminding drivers that even though the alcohol

may have been consumed the night prior, it may still be in your system in amounts that impair your ability to drive.

• On Saturday, June 7 around 11:30 a.m., officers from the Central Saanich Police Service responded to an accident involving a cyclist and truck near the intersection of West Saan-ich Road and Wallace Drive. The truck was attempting to make a right turn in to a parking lot off West Saa-nich Road when a cyclist crashed into the passenger door of the truck. The cyclist sustained non life threaten-ing but any witnesses to the accident are being asked to contact Corporal Steve Tys-ick at 250-652-4441.

Third year for local ALS summer fundraiserDevon MacKenzieNews staff

Saanich Peninsula resident Cindy Lister and her team of 10 riders are once again taking the roads this summer to bring awareness to ALS throughout the prov-ince.

Lister, a teacher at Deep Cove Elemen-tary, will cycle with her team from Kam-loops to Keremeos this August during the third annual ALS Cycle of Hope.

“The Cycle of Hope was started by myself and my good friend and co-founder Robin Farrell,” explained Lister.

“Having lost my dad to ALS, at the time Robin and I both felt compelled to raise greater awareness and funds for this cause while doing something we both enjoy. We are now into our third year of the ALS Cycle of Hope project and recently formed the Cycle of Hope Soci-ety,” she added.

This year, Lister has added a new com-

ponent to the group’s fundraising efforts in advance of the ride. The Frequent Flyer 10k, a community bike ride on the Saan-ich Peninsula, takes place June 22 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the multi use path around the airport.

“This is a brand new event which is designed to be a fun family activity,” said Lister, who added that registration for the

ride which begins at Rotary Park can be done online at cycleofhope.ca.

For the months of June and July, ALS Cycle of Hope will also be the charity of the month in Victoria Bottle Depot loca-tions, Lister said, meaning that people can choose to drop their refundables in the charity bins at the depots 4261 Glanford Ave., 655 Queens Ave. and 3961 Quadra St. and all the funds raised will go the Cycle of Hope.

“The team has been training hard and we’re looking forward to our 500 kilome-ter journey,” said Lister.

The team leaves for the ride Aug. 6 and begins Aug. 7 in Kamloops.

See www.cycleofhope.ca for more information.

OUR VIEW

“Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics.

Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.

In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.

You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating

the $1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011 election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant

Samsung.The Ontario Liberals

clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.

B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer.

Ours would, of course, be voluntary.Not so in Ontario, where large and

small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.

The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t

live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time and resigned the leadership on election night.

B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.

For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

Tag, you’re it on elder abuse

Recognizing and reporting elder abuse is a lot more complex than the province’s latest public relations plan to promote the issue on social media.

Asking people to use a hashtag to discuss elder abuse in B.C. will be about as effective as the #bringbackourgirls — an online community discussing the kidnapping of 230 Nigerian girls. And about as effective as the Kony 2012 online video about the leader of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Africa who has been indicted for war crimes.

Both of these social media-based efforts certainly did raise awareness. However, the Nigerian girls are still missing and Joseph Kony is still out there. Nice ideas, but as is the lament about online campaigns, they only go so far and our attention spans are so short, we move on to the next best thing.

Where an online campaign will have an impact on elder abuse issues in B.C. is in raising its profile. It’s altogether possible that more information will reach people who are genuinely interested in the issue and take definitive action.

That action will be ensuring people have a place to go when they witness or are victims of abuse, or people to talk to. As explained by B.C.’s new Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, it’s a start in the wider dissemination of information — but people still need to know how to recognize elder abuse. That vital information might possibly find its way through the chaff of online comments and opinions.

While it is important to have an opinion on elder abuse, it’s also vital to be able to find resources and support for those who have been victimized. If that can be done in 140 characters or less, great.

If not, it’s a waste of time.Like most issues that need serious help,

resolving elder abuse will need people to put down the phone, turn off the laptop and talk to their neighbours to learn how they can have a real impact.

Reading The Longest Patrol

I have just read with interest the article about Mr. Chance (PNR, June 6, 2014).

How ironic that I should come across this article at the same time as I am reading the book The Longest Patrol. My uncle, Hans Harder was a crewman on the U-953. After the boat’s surrender, he was taken prisoner to Huyton camp in Liver-pool, U.K. I have been gathering information about my uncle and U-953 and it was pure coincidence that while

searching for informa-tion on HMCS Skeena, I came across your arti-cle. If any of your read-ers get to see this reply and have any informa-tion about my uncle or the boat, I would be delighted to hear from them. I would like to express my congratula-tions to Mr. Chance on reaching the grand old age of 93 and to thank him and his crew for not sinking my uncle’s boat.

Peter Jenkins, Port Erin, Isle of Man

Great teacherWhat a perfect

picture and story on the front page on May 30. You show and interview Marilyn Hodgson. If anyone is on the fence about the

teachers’ position in the current contract negotiations, listen to Mrs. Hodgson. This fine woman is surely one of the best and most

influential teachers a student could have. She certainly was for my son when he was in Grade 2. When she discusses

the challenges teachers face these days she comes at it with a significant understanding of student and teachers’

needs. How do we get the government to learn from this teachable moment?

Carmen DennisCentral Saanich

I have often wondered what would we do here in Sidney if the homeless com-munity decided to move here. There

are some clear advantages to Sidney over downtown Victoria, especially in the good weather months.

We have lovely waterfront and beaches to enjoy, clean sidewalks with lots of benches, a caring population that isn’t jaded to street people yet, excellent dumpster opportuni-ties at our food stores and restaurants, and non-gated sleeping alcoves. I’m not being facetious here, nor sarcastic. Our beautiful little seaside haven is a wonderful place for anyone to be.

Homelessness can happen anywhere to just about anyone. The very fact of being homeless means you can go wherever

your homelessness can survive. Victoria has a homeless ‘industry’. There are numerous services and organiza-tions that try their best to alleviate the ongoing tragedy that homeless-ness brings to our lives ... and I mean all of us. One way or another, we are all affected to some degree.

We elect governments to manage these things. We are a very fortunate population here to have so much for so many of us. We can easily afford the cost of managing this and many

other problems that will always continue to need our attention. To ask the people of any community to just ran-domly help and give a hand up to people is at best a heartfelt appeal for a vague solution to a hugely complex situ-ation. We need to legis-late effective help. I don’t mean some draconian, heartless laws. We need practical guidelines, rules of the road. And

the road has to lead somewhere that works. We need to let those we empower to

serve us all know that this is a core issue for their political survival if not just the right thing to do. Will we do this? Go look in the mirror and ask yourself directly ... it’s about political will.

This isn’t a subject to be solved in a brief (though obviously caring) editorial, nor in three sentence ‘solution’ responses by readers, although these things both get the dialogue going. Let’s keep it going. We as a small community are not equipped to solve this problem. It’s bigger than us but it’s not bigger than the governments we pay for. It’s up to all of us to decide what kind of a world we are voting for and paying for. I have often wondered what we would do.

LETTERSBad behaviour will continue on ALR

Columnist Tom Fletcher belit-tles efforts by the NDP Official Opposition to stop Bill 24 and the dismantling of the Agricul-tural Land Reserve.

Mr. Fletcher sarcastically dismisses NDP expressions of concern about the most severe drought in California’s history as a “hot topic”. But he avoids the obvious policy question – why undermine the ALR just when climate change-induced impacts on our most important food supplier are becoming all too obvious?

During the election, the Liberal government denied in writing, as with the HST, their intentions regarding the ALR. If Bill 24 is the right policy, then why didn’t the Liberals run on it? But even worse than the HST debacle, the Liberals reneged on a commitment after the election to allow for pub-lic input on Bill 24. The NDP moved to refer the bill to a leg-islative committee to allow for public and stakeholder input but the government voted this motion down and subsequently imposed closure on the debate.

Mr. Fletcher accuses NDP MLAs of making “baseless accusations” about the possibil-ity that Bill 24 will encourage speculation and politicization of ALR decisions. But the former Agriculture Minister himself, Pat Pimm, had already been caught interfering in an ALR decision involving an illegally built com-mercial facility, even before Bill 24 was passed. We believe that under a Christy Clark govern-ment, this kind of behavior will continue.

We need to help farmers make a living growing food, not by allowing conversion of our

best agricultural land to com-mercial, industrial or residential uses. That’s why we proposed a private members’ bill that would require publicly funded institutions such as hospitals to purchase a minimum propor-tion of their food requirements from local sources.

Ideas not of the council’s making

Councillor Podmore (PNR June 11/14) is quick to criticize individuals who are trying to address the economic threat that looms on the horizon.

His attempt at vilifying these efforts by labeling them as unwarranted criticisms of him and his fellow council members is typical of this council’s arro-gance when it comes to listen-ing to ideas that are not of their making.

If it wasn’t for the pressure applied by these letter writ-ers this council would still be sitting on their hands waiting for divine intervention. There would be no organized effort to address the uncertain future facing Sidney’s downtown or “gloom and doom” as Podmore calls it. Mr. Podmore believes the town is recovering from the economic turn down. Perhaps the Mayor’s task force should speak to Mr. Podmore rather than wasting time and money on change and promotion.

Ed EastSidney

Debate is essentialCouncillor Kenny Podmore

should realize that political debate is essential to the health

and well-being of Sidney. This is a beautiful place and it is being threatened by proposed developments nearby, an ageing population, a lack of affordable housing for young families.

It would also be most inter-esting to know why so many of council’s discussions of munici-pal affairs, (panhandling, for example) are now held secretly, in-camera.

Jon BlairSidney

Time for a changeRe: Councillor Podmore’s

letter (PNR, June 1). Council-lor Podmore states: “There is a small group of people who continually criticize and blame Sidney Council for some busi-nesses not doing well.”

In fact this is a rapidly grow-ing group of residents and busi-nesses as membership in SOS will attest.

The reasons are not hard to find. In spite of numer-ous requests from businesses over the past three years this council has done nothing to fix our gateways, create an acces-sible tourist information office, impose architectural guidelines or animate downtown by day and night.

More importantly it persists in maintaining a one-way Bea-con Avenue as “quaint,” thus depriving downtown retailers, restaurants and hotels of added business.

Podmore also states “positive things are on the horizon,” by which I assume he means that he continues to maintain his ini-tial assertion that the pending competition from Jesken and Sandown will be beneficial to downtown. Time for a change.

SIDNEY — The month of June marks significant milestones for the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre; not only will the aquarium be celebrat-ing its five year anniversary on June 20, it will also welcome its 500,000th visitor.

In celebration of five years of ‘hands on, hands wet’ education, the aquarium will be offering spe-cial birthday-themed programming over the weekend of June 21 and 22 that will include ‘Pin the Tail on the Urchin’, sea star crafts, and a collab-orative kelp forest art project.

“Our community has truly embraced the aquarium over these last five years,” said Marketing Man-ager, Christina Smethurst.

“The celebration is not only to acknowledge our five year anniver-sary but it is also a thank you to our members, donors and supporters,” she said.

The history of the Centre begins in 2005, when a proposal was approved to combine the Marine Ecology Centre and Sidney Whale Museum into a marine-focused edu-cation centre.

Just four years later, thanks to funding from a provincial grant, the Town of Sidney and private and cor-porate donations (including a one-time donation from Shaw Commu-nications — the largest single dona-tion given by Shaw to a charity on Vancouver Island at the time), the aquarium was opened to the public.

Over 2,000 spectators attended its grand opening on June 20, 2009, including representatives from the Coast Salish First Nations people, local council members, donors and supporters as well as special guest speaker, Celine Cousteau.

In just five years, the aquarium holds the remarkable tally of bring-ing 500,000 visitors face-to-face with the wonders of the Salish Sea.

“Around half of our visitors are from southern Vancouver Island,”

said Smethhurst. “The other half have come from all corners of the globe, including a family from Mol-dova just this week.”

The aquarium, Smethurst added, has averaged 100,000 visitors a year.

“We’re proud to be not just a local favourite, but also an attraction that draws tourist footsteps to Sidney.”

That is followed by increases of 3.5 per cent in the first year and 1.5 per cent in each of the next three years, for a total raise of eight per cent plus com-pounding.

BCPSEA’s latest offer includes a $1,200 signing bonus for an agreement by the end of the school year, and a series of wage increases up to May 2019 that includes “economic stabil-ity dividend” amounts depend-ing on B.C.’s economic perfor-mance.

“[BCPSEA] tabled a com-prehensive settlement that includes an improved wage offer and commits to realis-tic and flexible solutions to address class composition,” Fassbender said.

The B.C. Labour Relations Board has extended its essen-tial services order to include provincial final exams and marks for graduating students, so they can apply for post-sec-ondary studies.

The jovial group has been training for the swim for the last few weeks and seems to be looking forward to the big day despite some concerns about sea life interference.

“We’ve seen some sea lions out there and we know there’s harbour seals and harbour por-poises. But there’s also a new species of stinging jellyfish that seems to have appeared that we don’t normally see in the Inlet so

that may be a challenge,” said Preston.

The group of colleagues is swimming to raise funds to contribute towards Gervais’ expenses during the SEDNA Expedition, explained Preston. Gervais is a fellow member of Preston’s scuba diving commu-nity and a deep water researcher with Ocean Networks Canada.

The SEDNA expedition, she continued, will allow Gervais and the team of scientists to learn more about sea ice reduc-

tion and gather new information from a climate that has previ-ously been too harsh to allow access for much investigation.

“We’re hoping for a good turn-out of family, friends and sup-porters at the end point of the relay in Brentwood Bay Marina,” said Preston.

SIDNEY — The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC) wel-comed a new giant pacific octo-pus after releasing his predeces-sor, Hermoine, back to her home in the Saanich Inlet.

Keeping with a six month release policy, the aquarium has featured almost a dozen giant pacific octopuses since open-ing in 2009. Having bi-annual turnover ensures that the short life spans of these creatures are spent primarily in the wild.

“Giant pacific octopuses only live an average of four to five years,” said Aquarist Sarah Fries-sen, “so it’s important to us that they spend most of that time in the ocean.”

Also central to the aquarium’s philosophy is the educational component of having an octo-

pus on display. During its six month stay, upwards of 50,000 people get the chance to see the otherwise elusive creature.

Aquarium guests observe remarkable behaviours, includ-

ing the act of opening jars to retrieve food as they’re taught when they first arrive.

There is still much that remains unknown about octo-puses; they’re solitary animals with extremely sophisticated camouflaging abilities, making them difficult to study in the ocean. The aquarium believes this makes their exhibit that much more valuable.

“People can’t help but be amazed at the diversity of skills and traits they exhibit,” said SODC Marketing Manager, Chris-tina Smethurst. “It gives our visi-tors an appreciation for these animals that they might not have otherwise had.”

Festival of strawberries and wine June 21


The Saanich Peninsula has seen a bumper crop of strawber-ries this year and one farm is paying it forward.

“I’ve been here almost 30 years and I’ve never seen any-thing like this,” said Derek Scott of Oldfield Orchard farm.

“We’re about a week earlier this year on the strawberries than we usually are and we’re expecting it to last another four to five weeks.”

Last week, the farm shared some of the berry wealth by donating 800 pounds of straw-berries to the Mustard Seed Food Bank in Victoria on June 10.

“We do this every year,” explained Scott.

“It’s just something we’ve always done and it lets people who might not otherwise have access to fresh, local strawber-ries enjoy them too.”

Scott attributes the bumper crop to perfect conditions over the last six or seven months,

adding that local vegetable crops are about two weeks ear-lier than normal as well.

“The conditions were just perfect. We had a great fall, a beautiful spring and basically all the planets aligned perfectly for farmers,” he said, adding that local farmers all over the Pen-

insula are encouraging locals to get out and enjoy the local fruits of their labour.

“We only have these beautiful, local strawberries this time of year so everyone should get out and enjoy them.”

increase the maximum permitted building height from 10.0m to 16.0m; increase the maximum Floor Area Ratio from 1.0 to 1.6; and, increase the maximum lot coverage from 50% to 60%

The bylaw would also amend the regulations affecting developments that combine commercial and residential uses by reducing the minimum required percentage of commercial floor area from 20% to 10%.

The intent of the proposed bylaw amendment is to permit greater density and additional housing within mixed-use developments in the village centres of Saanichton and Brentwood Bay village, of a similar scale to other re-developed properties that have been approved in the past through Comprehensive Development (CD) zoning.

Please note that the discussion of this matter scheduled for the June 23rd Committee meeting is NOT a public hearing: the draft Bylaw No. 1843 has not received first reading. This committee meeting is intended as an early opportunity for public input prior to Council consideration of the draft bylaw.

Dated at Saanichton, BC, this 6th day of June, 2014.Liz Cornwell, CMCCorporate Officer

Not quite the urgency to get seeds in now

although it is not too late for many things such as lettuce, peas, shallots, which can go in pretty well at any time.

It’s a little early for the planting of over-winter-ing vegetables. Wait a week or so for them. I promise to give you the signal at the proper time. Meanwhile, what needs doing? There is always weeding and watering of course and you should plant your corn now that the soil

is warm. Soak the seed overnight to get it inter-ested in growing imme-diately. You’ll want to harvest it as soon as possible (what a happy thought). I imagine everyone loves corn on the cob. It’s pretty messy, but oh, so good!

If you haven’t yet put in your cucumber seed, do it now or buy small plants at a nurs-ery. Please don’t forget to shelter these from the sun. Tomatoes and peppers can go outside any time now. It helps if you can plant tomatoes against a fence as it

gives you something to tie your tomatoes to as they get large and start to bear fruit.

You have an uneasy choice now ... are you someone who removes the branches which grow from the “arm-pits” of tomato plants, or do you leave these to produce more, but probably smaller, fruit? Gardeners are divided on this issue, and will defend their choice with a raised hoe if

challenged! So caution is advised. I never could make up my mind and usually left some of the ones which arrived early and removed those which came later.

I always grew too many tomatoes any-way and some years found frozen tomatoes in the freezer from the year earlier, while I was freezing the cur-rent crop. I never could throw these away, usu-ally making a vegetable soup. I grew up with my Mother’s advice: “Waste not, want not” and it has stuck with me all these years.

The lilies out on the balcony are not yet flowering but the buds are large and healthy looking. Beside them stands a single pur-ple fox glove in a pot. Where it came from I have no idea but it is welcome. Then there

are those determined yellow pansies in with the allium. Strange bed-fellow, the allium so tall and the pansies so short, but I’m grateful to have them all.

The five amaryllis are going out on the balcony for the sum-mer. I’m going to fer-tilize and water them well then in a week or so cut their long trailing leaves back to a reason-able size.

The hibiscus and the orange tree are both going out there as well. I do want to leave enough room for a cou-ple of chairs, though. I don’t suppose there is a hope of getting an small extension added to the balcony.

What do you think?

Parkland Secondary School program helps keep students engaged


After 25 years of teaching judo to stu-dents at Parkland Secondary School, teacher Mickey Fitzgerald says the most memorable thing is keeping students who might oth-erwise drop out or give up, involved and engaged in school.

“Many of these kids get to see the payoff and success of training and learning a new skill which is something some of them aren’t used to seeing in the classroom. For a lot of them, this is a place where they can excel and learn lifelong skills,” he explained.

Fitzgerald, along with Doug Anderson, Jose Tudela, Spencer Gray and Andre Gogol, have kept the sport alive at the school as an extracurricular activity since 1989.

“The sport of judo provides a discipline that is needed by many of the students,” said Tudela.

“And because it’s an independent sport it gives students who might not be interested in team sports a place to fit in.”

After seeing great success with the extra-curricular program, Fitzgerald started the Judo Academy at the school two years ago. The Academy allows students to work judo into their school timetable and get gradua-tion credit for it.

“That was a big deal,” said Fitzgerald of the Academy.

“It meant that kids who loved being a part of the extracurricular program were now able to get eight credits out of it through the full school year.”

Fitzgerald, a sixth degree black belt him-

self, noted that the sport of judo isn’t just about fighting and martial arts.

“The kids learn a lot about strategy, listen-ing, respect and fitness. It’s an all-encom-passing sport.”

The school still offers the after school extracurricular judo as well as the Acad-emy, Gogol explained, which gives students a chance to try it out before they commit to adding it to their school timetable.

“With the Academy there are some costs

associated but with the after school club it’s free so it’s a great option for kids who just want to try it out.”

Fitzgerald also added the school is seeing more and more interest in the sport from female students.

“For a long while we didn’t see that many girls involved but this past year we had nine girls involved which is really positive,” he said.

Sports & Eye InjuriesWith the arrival of spring and summer comes

a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an el-bow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fi ngernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fl y-ball.

Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fi st, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye. More severe blunt trau-ma may cause further damage to important eye structures such as the retina or optic nerve, and can result in vision loss. Penetrating injuries occur when an object pierces the eye. Symptoms include vision loss, bleeding on the surface of the eye and foreign objects imbedded in the eye.

Prompt treatment is the key to preserving your vision. With most eye injuries, it is best to have them immediately examined by an optometrist. An exception would be something sticking into the eye. Leave the object in place and go directly to Emergency.

This summer, when you or your loved ones take to the fi eld, be sure to protect your eyes with appropriate sports eyewear. Though they do not completely eliminate the eye injury, they will greatly reduce it.
