SIDNEY — A simple act of kindness last week by a passerby in Sidney proved to be life saving for one elderly Sidney couple.
On Wednesday, March 12 just before midnight, Sidney North Saanich RCMP were contacted by a concerned citizen who had stopped to assist a senior whom appeared lost and confused on the street.
The passerby remained with the elderly woman until police arrived and were able to figure out where she lived.
Upon returning the senior (who suffers from demen-tia) to her residence in Sid-ney, members of the RCMP gained entry to her home with the assistance of the building manager and found the elderly woman’s hus-band laying on the floor in medical distress.
The officers called an ambulance to the residence and both the man and the woman were transported to hospital for treatment.
“This simple act of kind-ness by a citizen stopping to help someone in need unknowingly triggered a series of events averting a potentially fatal outcome,” said Constable Ryan George of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. — News staff

A community effort is helping to put the fin-ishing touches on the North Saanich Fire Hall.
This past week, the hall got two new signs
for the building, both of which were products of the community rallying around the hall to finish it off.
“After the project was complete we really didn’t have a budget left for doing all the lit-tle finishing touches like the signs outside,”
explained North Saanich Fire Chief Gary Wilton.“It’s really nice to see the community collabo-

Film crews gracing the PeninsulaDevon MacKenzieNews staff
When it comes to choos-ing locations for filming, visual appeal is an important aspect, and Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula have just that, say producers of Gra-cepoint.
“Greater Victoria and the Saanich Peninsula are incred-ibly beautiful and the natu-ral landscape of the Island is incredibly visually appeal-ing. We chose Vancouver Island because of the visual appeal,” said the show’s Executive Producer, Carolyn Bernstein, from her office in Los Angeles.
Bernstein went on to say choosing the locations on the Peninsula like the Sid-ney waterfront were chosen based on where the show is set.
“The locations are dou-bling for Northern California and Victoria and the Penin-sula had the wild, rugged and beautiful look that felt really right for the produc-tion,” she said.
Until the end of May, vari-ous locations in the Capital Regional District, including the Sidney waterfront, Brent-wood Bay, Patricia Bay and Oak Bay, will play host to the filming of the show which is a North American remake of the U.K. crime series Broad-church.
“Broadchurch is, of course, the original series and our remake is taking the essence of the original show and Americanizing it. While we’re all familiar with the original series and love it, we want to make this series uniquely ours,” said Brenstien, adding the show has a completely different cast with the excep-tion of David Tennant, who starred in the original.
The show, which is film-ing ten episodes and is set to air on FOX later in 2014, also stars Nick Nolte (48 Hours, Warrior), Anna Gunn (Break-ing Bad) and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook), among others.
“It’s a fast and furious pro-cess to film it and air it this year. Once it’s aired we will see how the show performs and if there will be a second season,” said Bernstien, add-ing that if there are additional seasons, the company hopes
to film in the same locations.Kathleen Gilbert, Film
Commissioner from the Van-couver Island South Film and Media Commission said the project is an amazing boost for Victoria’s film industry.
“Until they finish filming we can only estimate the numbers, but I would say we will see a minimum of $10 million in direct spending in the area from Gracepoint,” said Gilbert.
Prior to 2008, Gilbert said, Victoria’s film industry was bringing in anywhere from $15 to $20 million annually but after changes to film tax credits and global eco-nomic troubles, that number dropped to about $7 million.
“Since 2008 it’s been stag-nant at about $7 million but with Gracepoint that num-ber has already been sur-passed in one project. We’re expecting about $14 to $15
million total this year,” she said, adding that with the new changes to film tax cred-its she hopes to see those numbers only go up.
Gilbert said filming a series like Gracepoint in the CRD opens doors for many industries.
“I was so excited about this production when we landed it. This series will have prob-ably the biggest impact on film tourism in the CRD since
X-Men filmed at Hatley Cas-tle in 2000. The town in the U.K. where Broadchurch was filmed has seen a huge peak in film tourism. People are going to the town just to see the filming locations. When a company like Gracepoint comes to the CRD it bene-fits all industries including future tourism and jobs and the more immediate things being used in the production like car rentals, restaurants, hotel, lumber yards and hardware stores. It’s really a trickle down effect when a production this size comes to town.”
Gilbert said one challenge Victoria’s film industry has faced in the wake of Grace-point coming to town has been employee numbers.
“Since 2008 and the down-turn in the economy, our crew base has been eroded,” she explained.
“People move away, they find jobs in other industries, and to build that employee base again will take time. It didn’t erode overnight nor will it be rebuilt overnight.”
According to Gilbert, 40 per cent of the Gracepoint crew is local and many oth-ers have been brought in elsewhere, including from Vancouver’s film industry.
“Gracepoint is serving as a great training ground for local employees. The pro-duction is training a lot of crew so it’s really great for them to get the experience of working on a production of this scale.”
Sidney Mayor Larry Cross, in a previous interview with the PNR, said he’s excited to see the activity in his com-munity.
“It’s a big production and it should bring some added economic activity to Sidney.”

The main fire hall sign hung by the front entrance of the building this week was cre-ated out of scrap wood and carved by Parkland Second-ary School teachers and stu-dents.
“We used it as a lesson and demonstration for the students and they got to see how the CNC (computerized numerical controlled) router worked and what the fin-ished product looked like,” explained Parkland wood-working and marine repair teacher Tyler Caddell.
The paint and finishing touches were put on by Wil-ton and the volunteer firefight-ers.
“It’s really nice to be able to collaborate with the local schools on a project like this,” said Wilton.
The second carved wood sign, which was professionally made and features the depart-ment’s insignia, is hung over
the truck bays. It was a dona-tion from Rosemary Scott and the Deep Cove Market.
“She and her sister hosted
a garage sale type event and they were able to raise $2,000 for the sign to be made which just shows how invested our
community is in the depart-ment,” said Wilton, adding the department is beyond appre-ciative of all the help.
“That’s what a community is all about,” he said.

It was the most beautiful of days the other day — not a cloud in the sky, not a breath of wind and the sun was warm on my shoulders when I went for a walk. I really believe we are
going to have an early spring. My daughter now tells me
that snow is expected by the weekend. Horrors! I thought that we had had winter’s last gasp when we had snow not long ago. Maybe the weather man has got his wires crossed and instead of snow he meant sunshine. I certainly hope so.
As promised I have bought a package of Little Marvel green pea seed and propose to plant them in one of my large pots.
Fortunately peas like com-pany, so the seeds may be planted close together. I haven’t a lot of choice, so they will be about two inches apart and not in rows but scattered liberally on top of the soil
and pushed under using my finger tip (about an inch).
You lucky ducks who have a real gar-den, can plant peas in rows but if you’ll space the seeds about two inches apart
(both east/west and north/south) you’ll only need one line of support between the rows.
Pea netting works well, stretched fairly taut between the end stakes. But it makes it sturdier if you’ll drive in sev-eral supporting stakes down the row of netting (one on one side and the next on the oppo-site side). I’d suggest putting in the stakes before planting the seeds.
Those of you who have gar-dened for years will wonder what I’m on about but new-comers may not know all the
neat tricks just yet, so please forgive me. Meanwhile I’ll put the peas in a bowl
of water overnight to get them off to an
early start when they hit the soil. I’m afraid my indoor plants have been
suffering from neglect recently. I put my finger in the pots and felt guilty at how dry they felt. I consoled myself by remem-bering that it is better to under-water rather than over-water.
Actually, I’ve found that letting them get pretty thirsty encourages them to flower. I figure they feel they are about to die and want to leave some seeds behind to carry on their genes and flowering, of course, comes first. I’m not doing this deliberately, to be cruel, I’m just so busy!
What a bunch of baloney! Busy doing what, pray tell? Reading
about gardening, perhaps? Maybe, there are always new things coming along — usually some sort of tractor. It’s not quite what the average gardener yearns for, is it?

Telling children not to pollute is easy, but teaching them the con-cepts about what hap-pens when pollution enters water systems is the key to making the lesson stick, says Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre’s (SODC) Visitor Experience Director, Tina Kelly.
“A lot of children can have a hard time grasping the concept of the trickle down effect of our watershed,” explained Kelly.
“By giving them hands on activities, demonstrations and exhibits, they really grasp why it’s so impor-tant to keep our water-shed clean.”
The SODC joined the Capital Regional District this spring to offer programming over spring break that is centred around the journey of water (and other liquids) that flow down drains and how pollution in our water cycle affects our water-
shed and the ocean.“The CRD was great,
they’ve given us lots of ideas for crafts and games and other hands on programming as well as they’ve pro-vided prizes for some
of the participants who come and join in on the programming,” said Kelly.
The SODC is also offering a green clean-ing workshop over the break which will show
visitors how to make their own cleaning products from water-shed-safe products.
“Participants will even get to create and take home some of the products,” added Kelly.
The spring break Waterwise program-ming at the SODC runs until Sunday, March 23. Regular admission rates to the aquarium apply but there is no additional charge for participating in the
Waterwise program-ming.

OUR VIEW
Canada’s sleek, imported green propaganda machine rolled into the capital last week for meetings.
You wouldn’t have heard about it because they didn’t stage any protests or press conferences. Instead they met quietly with selected reporters as well as politicians from both sides of the aisle. They didn’t invite me for some reason but from what I can gather, it was a friendly networking session.
When I speak of our U.S.-directed environmental movement, many people still don’t know what I mean. They see the sign-waving on TV and assume it’s all spontaneous, driven by passionate volunteers.
It’s an industry now and, as with our automotive industry, Canada is a branch plant of the U.S.
The Victoria event was an annual conference called Organizing for Change, sponsored by Tides Canada. Thanks mainly to the work of B.C. researcher Vivian Krause, this offshoot of the U.S. Tides Foundation now at least identifies itself while it pulls B.C.’s political strings.
Organizing for Change currently includes Ecojustice, Greenpeace, Sierra Club B.C., ForestEthics Advocacy, ForestEthics Solutions, Georgia Strait Alliance, Dogwood Initiative, Pembina Institute, West Coast Environmental Law, Wildsight and Seattle-based Conservation Northwest.
Tides is itself a front for wealthy
charitable foundations based mostly in Seattle and California, funded by billionaires who see “saving” B.C. as their personal eco-project.
Their hired activists met with Environment Minister Mary Polak to discuss her just-introduced Water Sustainability Act. This was to demand heavy fees and choking regulations on water
used for “fracking,” that nefarious gas drilling technology so demonized in fake documentaries and celebrity protests.
Tides no longer attempts to hide its strategy of targeting energy development in B.C. and Alberta. Its tactics are well known, too. Environmentalists need high-profile wins and the economic pain is best inflicted outside of the
U.S., the biggest polluter in world history.
Organizing for Change’s stated priorities for the year are the “last stand of the Great Bear Rainforest,” the “Sacred Headwaters” and the Water Sustainability Act.
Professional protesters are mainly just taking credit for the 2012 buy-back of Shell’s coalbed gas licences around the headwaters of the Nass, Skeena and Stikine Rivers. Tahltan Central Council declared that territory theirs in 1910 and having pros roll in with slogans and graphics wasn’t exactly crucial to the outcome.
Their greatest marketing success
so far is the Great Bear Rainforest, which is continually portrayed as being in peril from hunting, logging and of course, oil and gas development.
One of the documents Krause unearthed is a 2008 plan entitled “Tar Sands Campaign Strategy 2.1” that has proven remarkably prophetic. As Greenpeace, Sierra and ForestEthics were negotiating the 2007 Great Bear land use plan, other network members were preparing to “raise the negatives” and market Alberta as a unique threat to planetary integrity.
I’ve written before about the distortions and evasions required to present such a fossil fuel fairy tale. Suffice it to say that while we have busloads of protesters in B.C., you don’t see them in those benevolent petro-states Angola, Iran, Iraq, Libya, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, Venezuela, Kuwait or Algeria. They’re not saving the whole planet, just the safe and lucrative parts.
And as I mentioned after the protester-staged Neil Young concert tour, it’s amazing how American oil and gas interests and Alaska oil tankers remain invisible to this sophisticated network.
NDP environment critic Spencer Chandra Herbert met with the green machine too. He wants all of B.C.’s groundwater mapped and measured deep into the Earth’s crust. That should take a while.

So, when there’s a proposal to sell it, exchange it and redevelop it, people understandably get anxious and start asking questions. That’s what happened to Sidney town council when it entered into an agreement with Sidney Waterfront Partnership (SWP) to do just that at the Seaport East lands, north of the Pier Hotel and Beacon Park. And while the proposal has been kyboshed by the municipality in the wake of the discovery of contamination at the site, fears over what might happen to that property still linger.
There are calls for it to remain public land — along with some sort of development there that enhances the area, rather than mixing in residential units that could give it an air of exclusivity. Some folks want a grand destination down there, something that will attract more people like the good old days when Mineral World was the focus on the waterfront there.
The question is, who will build something like that? Municipalities aren’t generally in the business of going into business and is the local economy one that will support a public attraction? As the current leaseholder, SWP has to balance those demands with a fair economic return on investment. And in any case, anything that happens there will require the site to be cleaned up — and that may not happen until it’s redeveloped. The Town in all likelihood isn’t going to pay to remove everyone from the site, pay to have it cleaned up and then pay to move everyone back again. SWP, in the meantime, has at least 24 years on the lease in which to operate and may be in the best position to do something once the Town clarifies its position.
There are questions hovering over Seaport East as Sidney finds itself back to square one. Residents will demand answers on the matter of making the site ready for redevelopment down the road but in this election year, they may have to wait a little longer.

Beefs to the idiots who dumped their overstuffed chair and other furniture items on our and our neigh-bour’s property line on Rodolph Road in Central Saanich. May your body break out in itchy, ugly blemishes.

Beefs to the driver of an older white estate car who is lucky to be alive. He and his passenger were driv-ing across Benvenuto from Greig Estates to Garden Gate.
He was not pay-ing attention to where he was going and he didn’t stop at the junc-tion. Thankfully, my car has good brakes and I managed to stop about an inch away from the driver’s side of the car. They con-tinued on, oblivious.
Drivers like that should not be on the road. I’m just thankful this time there wasn’t a major accident.

I’ll harp if I want toRe: Quit Harping, PNR letters, March 14.The writer says that “Canadians have to realize
our PM does positive things, etc.” I for one don’t take kindly to being lectured
and told “I have to realize.” Actually, I don’t have to realize anything about Mr. Harper.
Like most other people, I can read, research and make up my own mind. And I don’t want to be told “to quit harping against Harper” (is that a pun?) — if I want to I will. Are we to do as the writer tells us or face heavy handed Putin-style retribution in the in the form of tear gas, baton charges or worse? One is reminded of the words of George Bernard Shaw: “The art of government is the organization of idolatry.”
Also, aptly: “He knows nothing; and thinks he knows everything. That points clearly to a politi-cal career.”

One of Canada’s finest foreign assis-tance achievements is TB Reach, a grassroots health organization
dedicated to help those tuberculosis suf-ferers that other programs miss: those who are physically isolated and difficult to treat.
There are an estimated three million of
these, with each untreated sufferer even-tually infecting about 10 other people.
Canada is the only major funder of TB Reach. Our federal government already does great work fighting this ancient scourge through the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB and Malaria. But TB Reach is Canada’s own gift to the world.
Currently, TB Reach is short about $200 million, spread over five years.
I sincerely hope that on March 24, World TB Day, Canada pledges to com-plete funding of TB Reach and saves the lives of those last three million.

Actors in the Victo-ria Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s presentation of H.M.S. Pinafore will have to throw their voices.
To be more precise, they will be projecting their voices and their stage performances to audiences at the Mary Winspear Theatre in Sidney and Victoria’s McPherson Playhouse. This is, says chore-ographer Heather-Elayne Day, the tradi-
tional style of Gilbert and Sullivan operas — no microphones to enhance the sound.
“We present Gilbert and Sullivan (operas) as traditional as pos-sible,” she explained. “So, there are no body mics.”
The only excep-tion, she continued, is at the top of a 10-foot poop deck where the distance between the actors and the audi-ence requires a little sound enhancement.
“The focus, then, is on the actors project-
ing their voices and delivering clear diction. I have been impressed with our younger per-formers who normally work with micro-phones.
“They have risen to the task, but it’s a skill that’s being lost.”
H.M.S. Pinafore is a comic opera aboard the British ship of the same name.
Captain Corcoran (played by Victoria’s Colin Grewar) intends his daughter Josephine (Victoria’s Inge Illman) to marry Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty (Saanich’s Rudy Ewart).
Little does he know that Josephine is in love with a lower class sailor, Ralph Rackstraw
(Victoria’s Kaden Fors-berg).
“It’s one of the most popular Gilbert and Sul-livan comic operettas,” Day said, noting that they draw strong audi-ences for all of the top operas by the famous composer and musi-cian duo who had a big
influence on modern musical theatre.
Day said the cast is powerful and enthusi-astic about learning the complex music and lyr-ics.

Tips for pet eyecareLike humans, our pets are also prone to
common eye problems such as glaucoma, cat-aracts, and corneal ulcers or lacerations (most often resulting from scratches). For instance, most dogs suffer from farsightedness or astig-matism, but since they normally just fetch, and do not read newspapers, we rarely hear them complain. Proper eye health care is just as im-portant for animals as it is for humans.
Here are some tips for keeping your pet’s eyes in top form: keep your pet from sticking its head outside car windows; fl ying debris and dust particles can cause eye injury or irritation. Regularly check for persistent eye discharge or infl ammation. If your pet displays these symp-toms, or demonstrates peculiar behavior such as trying to rub its eyes, or bumping into objects, you should have your pet’s eyes checked by a veterinarian. Two legged pets that talk still need to see the Optometrist!

She said the score is difficult to sing but has given the theatre world some of its most popular songs, such as My Gallant Crew, Good Morning and We Sail The Ocean Blue.
Day added there will be chal-lenges with performing on two different stages.
The Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney and the McPherson Play-house stages are different sizes and shapes. Day said they have
made the set to be able to fit on both, while using the space as effectively as possible. Light-ing and sound, too, are different but Day said both facilities have good technicians.
Music for the performances will be provided by a full orches-tra. In Sidney, they will play in front of the stage and at McPher-son, there is an orchestra pit.
Dedicated to the works of Gil-bert and Sullivan, the Society draws people from the Saanich Peninsula to throughout Greater Victoria who share the camara-
derie of the organization.“There are so many theatrical
opportunities (in Greater Victo-ria) that we do see some people hopping from show to show,” Day said, “but this group gener-ally does stick around and are dedicated to Gilbert and Sullivan plays.”

SIDNEY — A local retail planning con-sultant, predicting tough times ahead for downtown Sidney once a series of major shopping centres are developed, makes a presentation to business owners Thursday night at the Mary Winspear Centre.
Richard Talbot, president of Talbot Con-sultants International Inc., says there’s “a
virtual tsunami of competition” about to surround Sidney. The planned construction of Sandown Commons in North Saanich and Jesken Town Centre in Central Saanich — as well as new shopping areas in Tsawassen — will deliver four commercial sites whose square footage “will more than double the size of downtown Sidney,” Talbot stated.
Talbot has been communicating his con-cerns in this regard to Sidney Mayor Larry Cross. Cross has often quoted Talbot’s warnings at recent public events. Talbot was scheduled to present his concerns and statistics to Sidney town council Monday night, March 17, prior to Thursday’s presen-tation to the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of
Commerce. Talbot has called for extensive downtown revitalization as one way to posi-tion Sidney to attract new customers and visitors.
The March 20 discussion by Talbot is open to the public and is scheduled to start at 6 p.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre.
The trail and staircase to the main beach off Witty Beach Road is closed for public safety due to slope instability. Visitors can still access the beach from the main parking lot off Metchosin Road, and during low tide from Tower Point off Olympic View Drive.For more information please visit crd.bc.ca/parks or call 250.478.3344

It was a nail biting finish for the Penin-sula Panthers as they wrapped up the second round playoff series against the Comox Val-ley Glacier Kings win-ning the series four games to three Satur-day night.
The Panthers were down 3-2 in the best of seven series against the Glacier Kings as of last Friday night but a spir-ited effort in front of a large home crowd gave them enough punch to beat the Kings 5-4.
The Panthers clung to the one-goal lead for most Friday night’s game and with just over a minute left in regulation, the Glacier Kings pulled goalten-der Michael Hails for an extra attacker.
But, the Panthers held strong during the home game and forced the series to its full seven game run.
“The two teams played a solid defen-sive game on Saturday,”
said Panthers owner, Pete Zubersky.
Comox forward Wil Finlay opened game seven’s scoring early in the first frame and Con-nor Logan answered for the Panthers shortly before the end of the period.
After that the game remained scoreless and went into two rounds of overtime until Panther Cole Glover scored for the cats and set off a
wild celebration.“Glover was our best
forward tonight and it was nice to finally put the Glacier Kings to bed,” said Panthers Head Coach Brian Pass-more after the game.
“(Stephen) Heslop was a stud between the pipes for us and that is the kind of playoff goal-tending you need if you are going to win. We will have our plates full with the Cougars. We split
the season series and this matchup is what everyone on the South Island was hoping for,” he said, adding that the two teams expect to see large numbers out for the finals.
The Panthers travel to Archie Browning tomorrow night (Thurs-day, March 20) for game one of the finals before returning back to Pan-orama Recreation Cen-tre on Friday night at

The BC Government is proposing to offl oad the province’s world-class recycling programs, run by local municipalities, to an association led by big multi-national corporations. The idea is that we’ll get a better, more effi cient program that costs taxpayers less.
Unfortunately, what we’ll really end up with is anyone’s guess.
The association isn’t guaranteeing that we’ll get a better program, or even one as good as the current Blue Box program already in place. Since the association is led by big businesses outside of BC, many of whom are not even headquartered in Canada, one could presume that profi ts will come before environmental stewardship. They usually do. They also won’t guarantee that there won’t be any job cuts here in BC.
And how is this supposed to make things better for BC?
Currently, BC homeowners only pay, on average, $35 a year for curbside recycling. Under the proposed regime, you’ll pay more. Every time you bring home a pizza, buy toilet paper,
or pretty much anything else that comes in a package, businesses will be passing their increased costs on to you.
How much more? Well, nobody’s saying.
Here’s the only thing anyone does know: we already have a Blue Box program that works, is effi cient, managed locally and puts the BC environment fi rst. So why is the BC government fl ipping a coin, bringing in a questionable recycling program that some of our local elected offi cials are already calling a “scam?”
It’s time to contact Premier Clark and ask her.
What’s going on here?
Email Christy Clark at [email protected] or call 250-387-1715. For more info, visit RethinkItBC.ca. #RethinkItBC.
