Celebrating a
This year, the Peninsula News Review celebrates a milestone, one that few people and even fewer newspapers will ever see. This year, your community newspaper turns 100. What started as the Sidney and Islands Review in 1912 was integral to the development of the Peninsula. At the time, the streets of the settlement on the Erin Cardone north end of the A message from Saanich Peninsula the editor were unpaved, the sidewalks barely existed and many buildings didn't have electricity. In fact, the paper was the voice that for decades pushed the provincial government to incorporate Sidney as a town. It pushed for rail lines to run through Sidney. Later, the Review advocated for ferry service to Vancouver Island and made sure B.C. Electric Co. provided electricity to light the streets of the village. To this day, the paper strives to be a member of the community, just as much as its other residents and businesses. Through different incarnations of the paper's name – the Saanich Peninsula and Gulf Islands Review, the Peninsula Review, and now the Peninsula News Review – the goal has been the same: to
about people, deliver sstories tories abou out tthe he pe eop ople ople e events and issues that matter to the Saanich Peninsula. The first edition of the review was printed on Dec. 13, 1912 and was a four-page publication. The only copy of that first paper still hangs in the News Review's office on Second Street and serves as a reminder of how far we've come over the past century and that our roots are truly grounded in this community. For the next year, you'll notice a special element on our paper's front page flag – a design borrowed from the paper's flag in the 1950s. We'll also publish, on a weekly basis a section called This Week in History, which you can find on our letters to the editor page every Wednesday. Later this year, the News Review will host a celebration to commemorate the century gone by and the role we've played in the community's progress. We'd be happy to hear any suggestions you would like to provide for how that celebration might look. Most of all, we'd like to thank our loyal readers and advertisers for supporting community news on the Peninsula these past 100 years. Without you, we certainly wouldn't have made it this far. Here's to 100 years of history on the Saanich Peninsula, and to the next 100 years. Who knows what they will bring. email@example.com

Henry, 44, died in the fire. Henry lived in the trailer with his wife and other family members. Not long after the fire started, the flames were extinguished by firefighters, but all that remained of the trailer was its empty, charred shell parked in the yard of a nearby house. No other buildings or vehicles were affected by the fire. Emergency services were called in to aid the extended family, some of whom live in a home just steps away from the fire. Sgt. Wayne Conley of Sidney North Saanich RCMP was on the scene at the fire. "Unfortunately the tragedy here is there is a male … deceased in the fire tonight," he said. "We're just trying to gather some information about what took place and I expect that we'll be here for quite some time gathering information from family and other people that were here at the residence." "I do believe there is only the one person in the trailer that is deceased. … There were other people in the area that we have other officers speaking to." Neighbours tried to get the man out, but the heat and intensity of the fire thwarted their efforts. "I understand there were efforts by a neighbour and other people who live in the house nearby, but I believe because of the heat and the extent of the fire when it was discovered they were not able to enter. That's what I learned by talking to a few people." Central Saanich fire, RCMP forensic identification and the B.C. Coroners Service were on scene the scene that night and again the next day investigating the fire. "It's believed the fire started in the kitchen area," Conley said. Though specific cause is not yet determined, police are calling it a non-suspicious fire. Tsartlip Chief Wayne Morris could not be reached for comment. Around 750 people live on the Tsartlip First Nation. email@example.com

A young SENCOTEN woman is ensuring younger generations are immersed in their native culture by helping launch a new language program at LÁU,WELNEW Tribal School Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
I,OLTENOT (Madeline) Bartleman looks forward to immersing toddlers in culture this January. The Peninsula teacher got her name SI,OLTENOT (see-el-te-not) which means simply calm lady, from her greatgrandmother Madeline James. The Peninsula woman was recognized with a B.C. Aboriginal Student Award, a $3,500 scholarship to help further her studies at the University of Victoria. That recognition, she says, stems from her family and building a dream they held. "Our ancestors fought so hard for our school here," she said, sitting in the multipurpose room at LÁU,WELNEW Tribal School on West Saanich Road. "I want to carry on what so many of our elders worked for." Bartleman grew up at Pauquachin and attended LÁU,WELNEW from kindergarten through Grade 9, then finished high school at Stelly's. Now students can attend secondary studies at the tribal school on West Saanich Road, a sign of the growth toward the goal. "Our whole vision for WSA'NEC' is to

A new program LENNONET SCULHA'UTW, starting in January, will see three- and four-year-olds in preschool immersed in the SENCOTEN language. Bartleman, who is in her third year of a SENCOTEN apprenticeship, will be among the leaders of the program. Many of the students at the school are already immersed in the language of their ancestors and that's what drives, and warms, Bartleman. "To see the improvement in the kids' language is amazing," she said. "All of the kids probably know over 100 phrases." But she aspires to see more and continues her work to help the school grow. Last year she completed her certificate in aboriginal language revitalization. Now she's working on a diploma in language revitalization

For her apprenticeship, alongside other members of the UVic WSA'NEC' cohort, Bartleman spends five hours a week, on top of being a student and mother of four, with a fluent speaking elder. Currently she visits with elder Anne Jimmy, and they just hang out, converse and occasionally transcribe and translate old recordings of the language. "It's pure SENCOTEN," Bartleman said. "She's amazing and knows what they're talking about." email@example.com
Did you know? ■ First opened in 1989, LÁU,WELNEW Tribal School is supported by the four Peninsula bands. About 185 students, nursery (preschool) to Grade 9 are bused to school each day and for special events. ■ The school's name is derived from the name of the Saanich People's sacred mountain, LÁU,WELNEW – a spiritual place where the Saanich People found refuge after the great flood.
B.C. braces for Japan tsunami debris Bottles, containers washing ashore at Tofino, Alaska, Washington Tom Fletcher Black Press
With scattered reports of light debris already arriving on the west coast of North America, B.C. officials are bracing for thousands of tonnes of material to wash ashore from the March 2011 tsunami in Japan. Tofino residents have begun reporting increased Japanese

material washing ashore at Long Beach and other western coastal areas of Vancouver Island. There are reports from both Washington State and Alaska of plastic floats identified as being from a Japanese oyster farm, and lumber and other light objects have been reported showing up along the coast nine months after the disaster. Canadian federal, provincial and local officials are setting up a task force to deal with the material that washes ashore in B.C. Part of the job will be identifying hazardous materials that may make it across the ocean. The tsunami struck Japan on
March 11, triggered by a 9.0 magnitude megathrust earthquake centred off the coast of the Tokuhu region of Japan. As the debris field was tracked moving across the Pacific Ocean, scientists in Hawaii estimated in October that as much as 18 million tonnes of material could be carried along. Appliances, television sets, boats and structures were seen floating in a patch 3,000 kilometres long. The initial estimate was that it could take until 2014 for debris to cross the ocean. But experts have since indicated that buoyant objects can be pushed by winds and arrive much earlier.
Light objects with Japanese labels have become frequent finds on B.C. beaches. CTV image
In November, the B.C. and federal governments announced $4.5 million in reconstruction aid for the Tokuhu region of Japan. Governments provided $2 million each, and Canada's forest industry contributed the other $500,000. The funds will go toward a school, care facility or other public project to demonstrate the value of wood construction in

North Saanich lawyer recognized with prestigious designation Five Greater Victoria lawyers chosen for Queen's Counsel roster recently Erin McCracken New staff
Diane Turner, a practising lawyer who lives in North Saanich and works in Victoria, is among five Greater Victoria lawyers and 28 lawyers in B.C. who were honoured with a prestigious and highly coveted Queen's Counsel designation recently. "It's certainly very significant to me to think that there's a certain element of the legal world that has confidence in the contribution that I've made, because I really have tried to contribute," said Turner, a partner at Kelliher and Turner law firm. The former Crown prosecutor, who was called to the bar in 1984, is an associate faculty member at Royal Roads University in Colwood and teaches law at The Hague University in the Netherlands.
There was a lengthy selection process involved leading up to the announcement by Attorney General Shirley Bond. Candidates must be recommended before their appointments can made by the provincial cabinet through an order in council. The honour recognizes exceptional merit, contribution, professional integrity and good character. Eric (Jack) Woodward is a leading expert in aboriginal law, an instructor and adjunct professor in aboriginal law at the University of Victoria. He founded the Woodward and Company law firm in Victoria in 1988. Diane Raven made history when she was appointed associate dean of UVic's faculty of law in 2009, making her the first aboriginal person to become a senior administrator in a Canadian common law faculty. Mary Mouat a is founding partner of the Quadra Legal Centre and is considered a leading family law practitioner, and Craig Jones is supervising counsel of the constitutional and administrative law group at the Ministry of Attorney General. firstname.lastname@example.com

Region's mayors to put policing under microscope Peninsula mayors invited to open dialogue on policing Erin McCracken News staff
Oak Bay's mayor is inviting the region's mayors over for an "open and frank discussion" on policing in the region. The single-issue meeting, to be held early in the new year, may allow leaders to identify "a better way" to deliver policing to the region's municipalities more efficiently and cost-effectively, Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said. The mayors could look at the pros and cons of a regional police service, something for which Dean Fortin, Victoria's mayor and Victoria police board chair, and Victoria police Chief Const. Jamie Graham have been advocating. Consolidation of policing services will likely also be a topic of interest at the meeting, Jensen said. "We certainly want to hold out that the Oak Bay-Saanich model is one that could work regionally," he said, noting that Oak Bay council recently extended its contract with Saanich to use some of the district's policing services. The meeting is about exploring options, Jensen said. "I'm sure there's other innovative ways to deliver policing services and that's one of the reasons I want to start the dialogue with the other mayors," he said. "I certainly heard during the [November municipal election] campaign that, even in Oak Bay, people want to ensure that they have the proper and efficient policing services for the whole region," said Jensen. Leaders have a responsibility to listen to the plethora of letters to the editor and editorials written on the issue, he said.

The mayoral talk is especially timely given the contentious relationship between Victoria and Esquimalt representatives on the Victoria police board. Esquimalt and Victoria's police services were amalgamated in 2003. Esquimalt announced in October its preference to be policed by the RCMP rather than the Victoria Police Department. The township has submitted paperwork asking B.C.'s Solicitor General Shirley Bond for permission to make the switch. The ministry is expecting "People the results of an independent want to ensure review of the troubled amalgamation by the end of the that they have month. the proper and In that context, "I think [policing is] going to be efficient policing a tough issue to sort out, services for the there's no question about whole region." that," Jensen said. "But until we sit down and start talking – Nils Jensen, about it we're not going to Oak Bay mayor know what the way forward is." At the upcoming meeting, the mayors will likely examine several policing models, "one of them being the Esquimalt model where there's an amalgamated force [with Victoria], and we've seen the fallout from that," said Jensen. "On the other hand we have the Oak Bay-Saanich model that seems to be working very well." Other models include RCMP operations in Langford, Colwood, View Royal, Metchosin, Highlands and Sooke, as well as North Saanich and Sidney. Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Saanich and Central Saanich have municipal police services. A date for the mayoral meeting on policing has not been fixed. email@example.com

Man hugs woman who hit him A man hit by a car near Mayfair Shopping Centre in Victoria Wednesday afternoon stayed at the scene of the accident just long enough to hug the woman who had struck him. When police arrived, the victim had left. The woman driver said she was on Tolmie Avenue near the mall when a man ran out from bushes on the roadside. She was unable to stop in time and hit the man. He fell, and when she went to help him, he got back up on his feet, gave the woman a hug and walked away. The man, who police say is wellknown to them, was found soon after, but declined medical assistance and did not file a police report.

Winter solstice not what it seems The winter solstice of Dec. 21 isn't the day when the sun rises lastest and sets earliest, as many people believe. At our latitude the latest sunrise did not occur until Dec. 31, while the earliest sunset occurred on Dec. 12. Winter solstice is the moment when we are farthest away from the sun due to the Earth's axis tilt. Dec. 21 marks the date when the days gradually begin to lengthen again. While it may be the astronomical solstice, the reversal of the lengthening of nights may take place over a period of days.
"Even though the latest sunrise and the earliest sunsets are at a little bit of a different time [across the Northern Hemisphere], the actual length of [Dec. 21] is the shortest [of the year]," said Lauri Roche, president of the Victoria branch of the Royal Astronomical Society of B.C. "It's only up at the Arctic Circle … the solstice day, the 21st day, when the actual sunset and sunrise are at the shortest and the longest." On Dec. 21 the sun was out for eight hours, 18 minutes, 37 seconds.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark became the first woman leader of this province in 20 years. Despite advancements, the climate still isn't friendly to women in the political realm, some say. infighting, says it is getting better for women in politics. Despite the personal insults and heckling, the atmosphere in what is still a mainly male-dominated environment has improved over the seven years James served as opposition leader, she said. "We still have a long way to go for women in politics and I don't think that's unique to British Columbia; I think that's common across the country," James said. "There are many women, myself included, who believe in doing politics differently." When James was vocal about her desire to lessen the hostile environment at the legislature, she felt she was regarded as weak or unable to keep up with the cut and thrust of the political games, she said. By retaining her position as MLA despite the public scrutiny she
endured, James hopes to set an example to other women and contribute to a positive change in the political scene. "I certainly wouldn't say that it's all related to gender," James said. "The more that we're able to elect people – women, young people, folks from the multicultural community, people who do politics in another kind of way and get more diverse faces in the system – that's how I believe we'll be able to make the change." May remains hopeful that the women's caucus will gain momentum and more members – especially young women – who will strive to be political stars. "We've got a sense that maybe things are coming together," May said. firstname.lastname@example.com PAID ADVERTISEMENT
TEAM North Saanich report to the community: Re: SANDOWN RACETRACK With all the rhetoric surrounding the proposal to exclude a portion of the Sandown Racetrack from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), we feel that the community is entitled to know some of the real facts. In principle, more land for farming is a good idea. But as always, the devil is in the details—how much is it going to cost the taxpayer, and for how long? On the plus side, there is a strong appeal in securing 83 Acres for farming in perpetuity. On the negative side, in the rush to get the deal done, nobody seems to have done sufficient investigation to ensure that the taxpayers won't be on the hook for a big "white elephant" at the end of it all. The feel-good factor of doing something positive for agricultural sustainability has blinded the proponents of the Sandown deal to normal prudence and good municipal business practice. The main problems that we can see at the present time, are: • The so-called "Business Case", prepared by the District is woefully inadequate. It is a single page document which under-states expenses, has numerous omissions, and offers no supporting documentation. • There is no recognition of the fact that all the site remediation to satisfy the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) conditions will have to be completed first, at District expense, before the revenue stream from the commercial properties can start. In other words, the taxpayers will have to frontend all expenses. • The revenues are based on a best case scenario, assuming full property tax income starting in year 1 from full commercial build-out, which is highly unlikely. • There should be a five year projection of cash flow showing offsetting revenues and expenses to minimize the hit on taxpayers. • There is no mention of the professional Agrologist that has to be hired, as required by the ALC, to supervise the remediation. • There is no mention of the cost of site drainage, which promises to be huge. • Farming requires approximately one foot depth of irrigation water per year. Do we have sufficient
infrastructure to supply this amount of water? • Over the years there have been fuel spills, imported material dumped on the site, and fill for the parking lot, race track, etc. There is no cost allowance for environmental assessment, excavation, and trucking away fill and contaminated soil. • The existing soil, which is very poor according to the ALC, will require considerable reclamation by importing top-soil from elsewhere. There is no cost allowance for all the trucking, grading, leveling and testing that will be required. • There are legal costs: for consolidation and transfer of ownership of the constituent parcels; for preparing the Memorandum of Understanding for the ALC; for the infamous covenant to prevent the land use from ever being changed by some future Council. • The covenant restricts the site in perpetuity to agricultural uses and expressly prohibits any kind of park or other development. As it stands now, this means no walking trails or dog runs. Perhaps Sandown will start to pay for its operating costs someday, but in the meantime, guess who is on the hook? The current economic climate is not a good time for a risky financial adventure. We campaigned and were elected on a platform of fiscal restraint for the District. We cannot, in good conscience, proceed on a hope and a prayer that this will end well for the taxpayers, as the proponents of the Sandown deal are urging us to do. It is Council's fiduciary duty to protect taxpayers from financial 'black holes'—open-ended commitments with uncertain incoming revenue to offset. We have asked the District administration to get cracking on filling in the gaps in their Business Case and confirm our understanding of our obligations under the terms of the ALC agreement. Signed, TEAM North Saanich Craig Mearns Dunstan Browne Conny McBride We are dedicated to keeping the District: "Off your back, out of your wallet, and off your property."

Among other changes, it scrapped parking fees at its destinations and used $10.1 million to reinvigate trails, bathrooms, campgrounds and picnic areas provincewide. As B.C. Parks' birthday draws to a close, we'd like to remind Saanich Peninsula residents of the natural abundance around us. On the Island alone, there are almost 170 provincial parks. That doesn't count the many regional and federal parks that call our rock home. In North Saanich is John Dean Park, and on the edge of Central Saanich rests the expansive Gowlland Tod Provincial Park. The latter hosts 25 kilometres of trails, many of which wind along the waterfront to offer spectacular views of Saanich and Tod inlets. The park surrounds the delicate Finlayson Arm – a mecca for scuba divers who hope to see rare marine life. As this new year begins, many of us will make resolutions to lose weight, quit smoking, spend more time with the kids or the parents, or to save money. Consider resolving to better appreciate the natural gifts this Island has to offer by spending time in parks, be they regional, provincial, or federal. After all, we pay a heck of a lot of money to live in our little corner of paradise here on the Peninsula. We certainly get what we pay for, so let's be sure we take full advantage.

Clark and Finance Minister Kevin Falcon must be tempted to borrow an NDP suggestion that carbon tax revenues be redirected more broadly to transit and energy saving refits. But this means spending the money instead of reducing income taxes, as legislation currently requires, and both parties must face the fact that this entails a tax increase. A storm is about to begin up north as federal environmental hearings open on a proposed oil pipeline to Kitimat. Clark remains carefully non-committal, the NDP bitterly opposed. But the parties actually agree on liquefied natural gas exports from the same port. The NDP signalled cautious support for the plan before Christmas, with scrutiny of drilling and water use. We in the media do a poor job of reporting when parties agree. Debate will soon resume on B.C.'s new Family Law Act, aimed at avoiding courts and conflict, with bipartisan support. Fixing B.C.'s impaired driving legislation, to keep that out of our clogged courts, should also be expedited. B.C.'s traditional blame game won't make the problems of 2012 go away.

In addition to support from the Victoria Foundation, the Sidney Concert Society is grateful to Capital Regional District's Community Arts Development, and our local Community Arts Council of Saanich Peninsula for their grants in support of concerts this seasons. Our next concert is the Four Concerto Evening on Jan. 13, with a Beethoven Solo Piano to follow on March 30.

for the people of North Saanich, and our entire region, to have an agricultural amenity like this smack dab in the middle of our municipality. Not only is this proposal future-oriented in terms of food security and environmental considerations, it will generate increased revenue for the municipality – approximately $350,000 annually – from the leases and taxes. Sure sounds like a win for everyone. I know you are anxious to hear something positive from council about the fate of this deal, and I'm sorry that you did not get that signal at council's last meeting. There was some kerfuffle about
costs of demolishing some of the tattered old barns – thank you for your additional contribution of $100,000 to do that – and the costs of servicing, which, as we all know, developers undertake, if and when there is development. And I'm sure we can straighten out the duelling engineer opinions with further information. I hope the CRD's decision to support this project is encouraging to you, as it would be a shame if you decide to withdraw your offer and instead simply plan to create a handful of estate homes.

Carelessness at Christmastime upsets grandmother A message to the coward who just passed my grandson on the road while there was a cougar right there, near the Smitty's in Brentwood Bay, a few weeks ago. My grandson came to spend the holidays with me and told us about the incident. The driver could have at least honked the car horn to scare the cougar away. Instead the person just turned and drove the opposite way. My grandson was walking home from working the night shift. He saw that Smitty's workers were just opening the restaurant, so he went there until he thought it was safe. I hope that this letter might save somebody's life. Thank God it didn't attack my
Tyers, Dorothy Laura It is with great sadness that the family of Dorothy Laura Tyers announces her sudden passing on November 20, 2011 at the age of 82. Dorothy was born June 12, 1929 and grew up in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She was employed at James Richardson & Sons for many years in Winnipeg before moving with her husband Bill to Victoria, B.C. in the early 1970's. Dorothy continued to work as an accountant until her retirement in Sidney, B.C. and devoted many years as a caregiver to Bill during his battle with multiple sclerosis. Dorothy & Bill had a cottage at Lake Brereton, Manitoba where they spent many summers entertaining family and friends, fishing, boating, and just having a good time. She was a very caring and loving person who enjoyed meeting new people and spending time with friends, loved to travel, and took great pleasure in sharing the beauty of Vancouver Island with family and friends when they came to visit. Dorothy's constant companions were her pets. Her passion for animals was evident by the loving home she provided for her many dogs and cats. Dogs and cats lived together in perfect harmony in their home with Dorothy, all supported by her love for them. Dot, or Aunty Dot, to all of us who knew and loved her, will always be fondly remembered and forever in our hearts. We'll miss her. She is survived by her brother Tom (Mary) Dewar, brother-in-law Donovan (Joyce) Tyers, and many in-laws, nieces, nephews, and their families. Dorothy was predeceased by her husband, William Frederick (Bill) Tyers, her brother Edward (Ted) Dewar, and her sisters Margaret (Dewar) Hewitt, and Christina (Dewar) Murray. In memory of Dot, donations can be made to the Victoria SPCA at firstname.lastname@example.com A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Condolences may be directed to the family at email@example.com

That's a pretty nice package for us and for you, Mr. Randall. When council has additional information and has this matter again on its agenda, perhaps you'll stop by once more and hear from the people of North Saanich that they want this deal to go through.

Shopping better in Sidney than in Victoria Re: Good and compassionless souls in Victoria (Letters, Dec. 28) This letter is in response to D. Berry of Sidney, who fell while trying to reach his vehicle before it was towed from Johnson Street, and he received a $60 parking ticket. I sincerely hope your knee surgery went well and that you are well into your recovery. Next year, I would suggest you do your Christmas shopping in downtown Sidney, where parking is free and plentiful, there are no meter readers on staff and the tow trucks are dispatched to highway breakdowns. Is it any wonder business is declining in downtown Victoria? Margaret Westbrook Sidney

Despite keeping more money out of people's pockets, premium increases for Canada's social safety net – Canada Pension Plan, Employment Insurance, medicare – are necessary to keep them meaningful, financial experts and economists say. Helmut Pastrick, chief economist for Central 1 Credit Union, the central financial association for B.C. and Ontario credit unions, said the pension plan premium increases are needed to offset stock market losses in recent years and to pay the growing number of baby boomers who will rely on it when they retire. If premiums into the self-funded plan were frozen at the current rate, he said, pension benefits would not increase in the future and might even shrink. Travis Koivula, a certified financial planner with Island Savings Credit Union in Victoria, said CPP is "a primary source of retirement income" for most seniors. Canada Pension Plan, administered by an independent financial investment management board that invests the assets to earn money to pay pension benefits, must "increase premiums or cut benefits," he said. That's something retired people can't afford, he added. "Most people take far more out of CPP than they put in over the years." It is important younger people contribute to not only secure their own retirement futures, but take care of their parents and grandparents, Koivula said.
No one likes to see their payroll deductions increase, he said, especially since average wages haven't increased. "But if rates didn't increase, the long-term viability of Canada Pension could suffer." B.C. Medical Services Plan premiums rose six per cent on Jan. 1, meaning a family of three or more will pay $128 monthly – up $7 from last year and $84 over the year. Federal EI and CPP premiums will increase collectively by $306 per employee this year, with just under half paid for by employees themselves. Groups such as the Canadian Taxpayers Federation and Canadian Federation of Independent Business think the increases are little more than taxpayer gouging and will prevent job growth. Taxpayers' Federation B.C. director Jordan Bateman said the increases will hurt the economy because "families and seniors are already finding it difficult to keep up with rate increases at B.C. Hydro, ICBC, B.C. Ferries and tax hikes at the gas pump." Shachi Kurl, director of provincial affairs in BC for the Federation of Independent Business, described the CPP and EI rate hikes as payroll taxes that "makes it harder for small business to create new jobs" during hard economic times like now. People who complain about the increased premiums do so without understanding they are paying towards critical social safety net service which "for the most part they are getting full value for," Pastrick said, including pending hikes to ICBC and B.C. Hydro rates. "Most people only look at the cost side and don't think of the benefit side," he said, "The alternative [to these services] is much worse in social terms." email@example.com

The importance of eye care Vision is one of our most valuable assets. Most people take their sight for granted and yet almost everything we do in life depends on it. Maintaining eye health and vision is an important part of our health care system. Having regular eye exams by a doctor of optometry can ensure that not only is your vision functioning properly, but also, that your eyes are healthy. Many health problems can be detected through the eyes. For example, diabetic patients should have yearly eye exams to rule out damage to the back of the eyes, because loss of vision can result if left untreated. During the eye exam, the optometrist will determine if corrective lenses would significantly improve your vision. Often people, who have never had an eye exam, do not realize what they are missing. This is particularly true of children. The optometrist can put all doubts aside, and if corrective lenses are required, a prescription will be provided to meet your specific vision requirements. A visit to the optometrist will ensure your vision and eye health remain at their best.

Track and field athletes go without winter break Group prepares for meets in 2012 Even though it's January, there's no sleeping in cosy dens until spring for both the younger and older athletes of the Peninsula Track and Field club. Weekly practices at the Parkland secondary school track are the order of the day on Saturdays for the masters and senior games throwers and jumpers, or during the evenings for the younger sprinters and middle distance runners of the club. The older athletes will resume their practices on Jan. 14 while the youngsters will return to their workouts that same week with Karen MacEwan, the club's head coach. As these activities progress, the work to resurface the existing track at Parkland continues with the help of North Saanich council, whose technical staff have been working with the club executive to prepare and forward an application for a B.C. government capital works grant to assist in this effort.
Other public and corporate fundraising initiatives will be pursued during the coming months to ensure the refurbished track will be available for general community and school use in 2013. Building upon the successes achieved by club athletes last year with Canadian youth gold medals and world masters silver medals, 2012 looks to be another year in which Peninsula athletes can rise to personal best performances and enjoy the benefits of a healthy and active program of running, jumping and throwing. Details on times and other information can be checked with McEwan, at 250-655-4981. For very young track rascals, ages six to eight, registration for the April-May program happens at the track during the month of March or by phoning Lesley Foster at 250-656-5660. The club welcomes new members of all ages and encourages anyone interested in learning about coaching or officiating to contact McEwan or Foster with questions. firstname.lastname@example.com

Where are they now? Travis Paterson News staff
When the curtain fell on the Victoria Salmon Kings' days as an organization last March, some of the more transient players were gone the next day. Others, however, weren't in a hurry to give up their Victoria apartments until they'd signed their next minor pro contract. So when Victoria Royals players began showing up early for this season's training camp, there was an odd mix of players on the practice ice at Save-OnFoods Memorial Centre. Royals, Salmon Kings, players from the NCAA (Justin Courtnall, Brian Nugent), AHL (Lee Baldwin) and NHL (Ryan O'Byrne) all skated during the Royals' official ice times. Two of those players were exSalmon Kings Matt Siddall and Mike Hamilton, now playing with the Fife Flyers of the British Elite Ice Hockey League. A check-in with the team reveals the pair have had a tough season on the ice, though perhaps a great one off it. The Flyers are last with just two wins in 22 games. Hamilton leads the Flyers in scoring, 13th in the league. Siddall leads the team too – in penalty minutes. He's also fifth in the league. It's one of the better situations for ex-Salmon Kings. Many have hung up the skates on the pro game, including Adam Taylor and Kiel McLeod. Others are likely starting their office careers as a lot of ECHLers are NCAA grads. Perhaps the most fascinating story is that of former Salmon Kings player Milan Gajic, who is taking a crack at pro lacrosse with the Washington Stealth. Gajic hopes to join brothers

Local mom releases fitness book, memoir
file image
Sidney mother and trainer Karen McCoy releases her first book, One Rep at a Time, this month.
Sidney's Karen McCoy is working toward becoming an international lifestyle guru. The bodybuilding champion and trainer has more than 22,000 Twitter followers and hundreds of Facebook fans who regularly receive her messages. Come January, they can buy her book. One Rep at a Time is McCoy's memoir and includes her eight-week body makeover program that buyers access from a password in the book. It links to workout videos, workout cards, plus nutrition and spiritual information. McCoy tells of her fall from grace after her son was diagnosed with a terminal disease. Her body, once a pinnacle of health and strength, fell apart. With patience and tenacity, she healed her body and spirit, she says, and began to see her son's challenges with fresh eyes. She now teaches these lessons through training and lifestyle programs. One dollar from the sale of every book goes toward the Tristan Graham Children's Foundation. One Rep at a Time: An Athlete and Mother Reveals the Secrets to Creating Inner Power and Serenity by Karen McCoy, is published by Agio Publishing House in Victoria. firstname.lastname@example.com
