A proposal to hand over property to the District of North Saanich could be the first time within the B.C.’s Agricultural Land Reserve’s history that a golf course would become agricultural land.

Owners of the Glen Meadows Golf and Country Club, the Criddle family, are resur-recting a proposal to close the facility and

split the land into large lot residential homes and farm land. This proposal first came up in 2014, but was put on hold in anticipation of the civic election last November.

A public presentation was held May 13 at the Glen Meadows clubhouse, hosted by the District. By hosting the open house, it appears the municipality is favouring the idea but Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan said North Saanich was not there to “sell it.”

“It’s up to the public to come up with its own opinion and for council to debate its merits,” Buchan told the crowd at the open house.

He explained that previous council decided last year that the District would host the meeting and invite Mark Johnson, representing the Criddle family, to explain the concept.

“This proposal is unique,” Buchan contin-ued. “I’ve never heard of a golf course in the

ALR turned back into agricultural land with a combination of residential.”

Buchan added it’s unique, too, for the Dis-trict to host such an open house. However, he said North Saanich did the same thing when the owners of the Sandown property proposed a commercial/agricultural land split of what was once a horse racing track.

Walk into any ele-mentary school class-room and there will no doubt be colourful bor-ders on bulletin boards, alphabets tacked to the walls, crafts in the cor-ners and science exper-iments in progress.

What might not be readily apparent is that the majority of those colourful and engag-ing learning tools were likely purchased with the teacher’s own money.

In this week’s instal-ment of the Black Press/Staples Great Teachers feature series, we speak on that subject with four educators from Sidney Elementary.

“If a school suddenly went from having 12 divisions one year to having 13 divisions the next year, that teacher would walk into a bare classroom,” says Grade 4/5 teacher Jennifer Alberring.

“You’d have the furni-ture, and whatever you could scrounge from everyone else,” adds Grade 2/3 teacher Lisa Kjernisted.

Her classroom is full of cool stuff: buckets of paintbrushes, positiv-ity posters and a whim-sical, oversized leaf at a cozy reading station. It’s the kind of class-room any kid would love to hang out in, and it’s where Kjernisted, Alberring and fellow Grade 2/3 teachers Lori Richards and Nancy Fredeen have gathered to talk about how much they actually spend on classroom supplies every year.

The four have more than 80 years com-

bined teaching experi-ence and they’re pretty much in agreement on the minimum amount of personal money they spend each year.

“At least $200 to $300 over what (the parent advisory council) gives us, easy,” Fredeen says.

And that’s for a teacher who’s settled

in one school, teaching a regular grade. Hav-ing taught as an on-call teacher for years, she says expenditures can skyrocket for substi-tutes, up to and often over $1,000 each year.

“I bought a lot as a substitute teacher, and a lot of books. I had a kindergarten box and I

had a Grade 5 box,” she says. “Some schools have a lot, some schools don’t have very much at all.”

Add in crafts for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, Christmas projects, small birthday tokens for students, art supplies, and it all adds up.

“You have to get really creative,” says Richards. “It’s easy to spend $100 a month.”

“I’m constantly think-ing, how can I make this cheaper, but still nice so the kids can be proud of it,” says Kjernisted.

She and the others are quick to stress how hard their PAC works to raise money for sup-plies. In addition to rais-ing money for field trips and school programs, the PAC provides teach-ers with $200 to $300 each year from fund-

raising efforts — but it’s rarely enough.

“People say jokingly in October, ‘I’ve already spent my budget for the year,’” Alberring says.

Even something as simple as a basic sci-ence experiment: mix-ing flour and water to create a non-Newtonian liquid, can be an issue. The teacher needs to find flour and some-times it’s easier to pick it up with the family groceries, says Alber-ring.

Her class bookshelf

is full of adventure nov-els, science books and everything in between — mostly bought with her own money.

“We value education, which is why we’re put-ting our money into it, she says. “And the par-ents value it, which is why they work so hard fundraising.

“We don’t begrudge it. We want to be in a classroom environ-ment that’s beautiful and that the kids get value out of.

“We always have and we always will.”


CorrectionA headline and brief story in the PNR’s May 15 Town of Sidney council news incorrectly stated

it is the fire hall project that will mean the relocation of the local skate park. In fact, it would be the town’s proposed employee parking lot in the same area that would do that.

The News Review regrets the error.

Teachers spend to create better learning spaces

Angela Cowan/News staff

Sidney Elementary teachers Nancy Fredeen, left, Lori Richards, Jennifer Alberring and Lisa Kjernisted are out-of-pocket several hundred dollars annually. For on-call

teachers, they say, that number can be as high as $1,000 per year.

The Glen Meadows proposal would see the owners give approxi-mately 100 acres — or 77 per cent — of the property to the munic-

ipality for use as agri-cultural space. The esti-mated value of the land is between $2 and $3 million.

The rest (around 30 acres) would be sold as residential homes

on large strata lots that could have their own small farm plots.

Johnson, a develop-ment consultant and former city manager in Victoria and Esqui-malt, said this plan is

the Criddle family’s first option.

“They have also con-tacted the Pauquachin First Nation to see if they wanted to buy the land,” he said, “and they met in March with

businessmen from China who are looking to buy land. The fam-ily has not followed up on those options and is looking at the (pro-posal) with the District of North Saanich first.”

Johnson made it clear the owners will sell or divest the prop-erty eventually.

He said that in the process of explor-ing the North Saanich option, he met with Agricultural Land Com-mission staff.

“I was, I was told, the first one in 50 years to walk through the door with a plan to return a golf course to the ALR.”

The property is cur-rently zoned C3, or golf course commercial. A change would require rezon-ing, plus the approval of the Capital Regional District, District of North Saanich and the ALC.

Johnson said the curling rink on site would be closed and the facility used as cold storage. The clubhouse itself would remain with the family, he con-tinued.

The plan also looks to set up the area as a working farm, with a startup fund of $100,000 and an addi-tional $30,000 for a farm market business plan. Existing water and sewer infrastruc-ture would remain in

place for the estimated 35 residential lots.

Buchan said while the land would fall to the District, the munici-pality would not oper-ate a farm.

Like the ongoing San-down proposal, he said the District would work with the public and oth-ers to determine the best use.

After fielding a few public questions, John-son said now that the

project is back on the table, he hopes to meet with other North S a a n i c h committees and re-start

the approval process, looking for council deliberation on the idea later this year.

“This is not a done deal,” added Buchan, saying he sees negotia-tions, planning and the process done within the year. “Then, the proponents would be able to move ahead.”

Details of the Glen Meadows land deal with North Saanich can be found at the Dis-trict’s website, north-saanich.ca.

Police seek witnesses to fatal crash last FridayAngela Cowan News staff

Central Saanich Police are seeking witnesses to a fatal motor vehicle crash that occurred last Fri-day on Highway 17 at Keating Cross Road.

On May 15 at 3:45 p.m., 78-year-old Dorothy Joan Crocker of Brentwood Bay was attempting to make a left turn off the highway at the uncon-trolled intersection in a green, 1997 Honda CRV,

when she was involved in a collision with a south-bound black, 1999 Honda Prelude.

Crocker was immediately transported to Victo-ria General Hospital, but could not be resuscitated.

The other driver was not seriously injured. There were no passengers in either vehicle.

Anyone who may have witnessed the incident is asked to call the Central Saanich Police at 250-652-4441 and reference file number 2015-1584.

[email protected]

CENTRAL SAANICH• Between May 17 and 19,

police received multiple reports of debit and credit cards being stolen from vehicles parked at Island View Beach.

The thefts occurred in both locked and unlocked vehicles. Police are reminding the public to remove all personal belong-ings if leaving a vehicle unat-tended for any length of time.

• On May 19 just before 9 a.m., police received a report of a break in at Horizon Power on Veyaness Road. A quantity of copper wire was stolen and more wire had been left lying out. Officers may have inter-rupted the crime in progress. Central Saanich Police are ask-

ing anyone with information about this crime to contact the detachment at 250-652-4441.

SIDNEY• On May 17 at 11:30 a.m.,

RCMP responded to a report that a mother duck had been struck and killed on the high-way near McDonald Park Road and that her ducklings were running loose, causing traf-fic havoc. The ducklings were rounded up by RCMP and taken to Wild Arc Rescue.

• On May 17 at 5 p.m., a

78-year-old man driving a van struck and damaged a planter at Hyland’s Fish and Chips on Resthaven Drive, having mis-taken the gas pedal for the brake. The Superindendent of Motor Vehicles will be con-ducting a review of the man’s license.

NORTH SAANICH• On May 18 at 1:15 p.m.,

In response to the letter pub-lished in the PNR on May 13, attack-ing Mr. Fletcher for his so-called diatribes, I want to state that I always look forward particularly to Mr. Fletcher’s common sense opin-ions as a welcome change to the all too frequent feel good and politi-cally correct stories featured in this paper.

Communications outage should worry boaters

Re: Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower (B.C. Views, April 28).

The ship monitoring stations that Tom Fletcher refers to in his col-umn are more than just that. Coast Guard Marine Communications and Traffic Services (MCTS) Centres per-form two distinct but complimen-tary functions.

They provide vessel traffic ser-vices, much like air traffic control for ships, and provide communica-tions and co-ordination to detect distress situations similar to a 911 centre for mariners.

They also broadcast maritime safety information, screen vessels entering Canadian waters and pro-vide marine information to other federal government departments and agencies. The MCTS Centres are the result of the merger of Ves-sel Traffic Services and Coast Guard Radio that occurred in 1995.

This initiative was proposed by the union, which recognized that technological change provided the

opportunity to rationalize services and save money.

The result was that the com-bined service went from 44 centres to 22 and the number of staff was reduced by one third.

The reduction in staff was achieved through early retirement and attrition. Total savings of this co-operative effort are $14.5 million per year.

Industry Minister James Moore is quoted as saying that “1970s era ship tracking equipment is being replaced.” That is incorrect; that equipment was replaced five years ago.

The equipment that is being replaced is the communications control system. This is what con-trols the radio equipment used to communicate with vessels.

This so-called technological inno-vation is a touch screen communi-cations control system that replaces the knobs and switches and touch screens currently in use. A new touch screen to replace the old touch screen is hardly a technologi-cal innovation.

Mr. Moore is also quoted as say-ing “these fears were also raised back in the ’60s and ’70s, when lighthouses were de-staffed.”

The last round of lighthouse de-staffing took place in the late ‘90s and was halted after only a few lighthouses had been de-staffed. The majority of lighthouses on the B.C. coast are still fully staffed.

The recent 30-minute outage in Prince Rupert should be a wake-up call. For people on the water it was the equivalent of ATC and 911 being

out of service from the northern tip of Vancouver Island to the Alaska border. If you were in trouble for those 30 minutes and called for help, your only hope of being heard would have been if you were lucky enough to have another vessel close enough to hear you.

When you get in trouble on the water, seconds count. If your house is on fire you can go outside, If your boat is on fire you are in the water.

This is not hysteria, this is a fact. There are many examples of mari-ners who only managed to make one radio call for help before “going down.”

The MCTS Centre in Ucluelet has been closed and the opera-tions have been remoted to Prince Rupert. If the same outage were to occur again, and there is no reason to believe that it won’t, it would cover the entire B.C. outer coast from Washington to Alaska.

If you make your living off the water or just like to get out in your boat for fun and this doesn’t worry you, it should.

Curling faces uncertain future

W ith only a season or two left at the Glen Meadows Curling Club, supporters of the sport are going to have to hurry hard to find a way to save the facility.

The Saanich Peninsula’s only curling rink, Glen Meadows will, eventually, be closed. The owners, the Criddle family, are planning on divesting most of the entire property, including the golf course. A proposed land deal with the District of North Saanich would see most of the property revert to agricultural land. The rest, around 30 acres, would be developed into large lots for houses and small farm spaces.

As for the curling rink, the plan is to close it and use the space as a cold storage facility for farm goods.

Supporters of the curling club were at Glen Meadows recently for an open house on

the project. They worry for the loss of the activity and asked the District if the municipality would take it on. Councillor Celia Stock asked for written requests and ideas but the future does not bode well for curling here.

Most, if not all, recreation opportunities on the Saanich Peninsula (apart from parks or trails) are operated by the Capital Regional District and overseen by a local recreation commission. It’s unlikely that any one municipality would take on an expensive undertaking. A spokesperson for the Criddle family says the current curling club is not profitable, so it will eventually be closed.

Users of the rink in North Saanich say once it’s gone, anyone wanting to curl would have to travel into Victoria to do so — and that might mean the end of an era and such successes as the club’s master-level curlers.

With limited time remaining, club members are going to have to act fast if they want to keep the sport on the Peninsula. One person suggested Panorama Rec. take it on — and on the surface that sounds like it might be possible. But look deeper and the opening of a new sheet of ice could prove daunting for almost anyone.

Without a vision for the future of curling — and some pretty deep pockets — the Glen Meadows rink might vanish at the same time as the golf course.

Exploring histories and healing at Tod InletLocal author spent six years collecting photos and stories

Angela Cowan News Staff

Leafing through the pages of Gwen Cur-ry’s book, Tod Inlet: A Healing Place, is much like taking a wander through the park itself. Readers are taken through a blend of detailed photos, morsels of history, envi-ronmentalism and the author’s own experi-ences.

The project is actually a divergence from Curry’s usual artistic expressions as a painter and multi-media artist, and took her over six years to complete.

“I started out just thinking if would be photo homage, a show,” she says. “And

after a few years, I realized there were tons of people who go down there that didn’t know the stories, and I did.”

Feathering in those stories and trans-

forming the project into a book was the natural next step.

Curry’s descriptive prose envelops the reader’s senses with ease and creates a por-tal into the natural world.

The scents of a Japanese plum tree in spring, its white blossoms raining down over the still surface of a pond, or the joy of seeing mush-rooms in autumn, “cleaving the earth with their delicate but determined bodies.”

She chooses words with such precision, it’s a little surprising to learn that this is Curry’s first enterprise into writing books.

Though dabbling in some journalism and creative non-fiction in years past, she fully admits she’d never undertaken anything like this before.

To prepare, she took several writing

courses, including being accepted into The Banff Centre for a short term non-fiction residency.

“I was really pleased to have gotten into that, especially as a first-time writer,” she says.

Working with mentors and a writing group, she was able to hone her manuscript.

“The main thing was to give it shape, to give it form.”

Weaving pieces of history from First Nations and the industrial development of the early 1900s with biology and her own observations,

Curry has created not only an homage to Tod Inlet, but a sampling of stories for the reader to wander with.

“This is not a com-plete history,” she says. “It’s delving into certain things as they come up on the trail. It’s very much a meander.”

It was from her cam-era that she took her lead as she walked through the trails from season to season.

“In something like this, it could be a 1,000 page book,” she says.

“Whatever I was doing with the camera would lead me into a story.”

Curry approached balancing those top-ics democratically, she adds.

“I knew it was com-plex. I strove for a kind of seamless continuity so that whatever I was talking about had equal weight.”

Over her 40-year career as an artist, Curry, who is also a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts, has shown her work in over 100 group and solo exhibits. Her work has always been strongly influenced by her passion for the environment.

One of her latest proj-ects, Void Field (after Kapoor), is a 20-foot by 24-foot mosaic of 120 wooden tiles, each inscribed with the name of a species and its date of extinction.

Tod Inlet: A Healing Place may be a vastly different medium than Curry is used to work-ing with, but her focus has remained the same.

“One of my shows was called Witness, and this is exactly the same thing,” she says.

“Witnessing the deg-radation of lands, the degradation of spe-cies.”

It’s an act of witness-ing melded with an

appreciation for the beauty as well, says Curry in the book.

“Despite the ravages of the past century, Tod Inlet retains a spirit of peace and renewal.”

Next up, Curry will be featured at the Green Drinks monthly meet-ing Tuesday, May 26.

Curry will read from the book and is also bringing along several people featured in the work to talk about their own experiences with Tod Inlet.

The evening runs from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Zanzibar Café, 1164 Stellys Cross Road in Central Saanich.

Admission is $10 and includes appetizers and non-alcoholic bev-erages.

Shaking up the pickup truck world

Driving through spectacular Spanish scenery shows the capability the Touareg SUV

Ford is entering a brave new world with its extensive use of aluminum in its brand new F150.It remains to be seen how many of its competitors will leap on the aluminum bandwagon but one thing for sure is this move will shake up the light-duty truck world.

Looks:The all-new trucks features smooth body lines with oversized fender flares, while sleek headlights form part of the large oversized grille, with a blended in-front bumper. These features truly stand out when you see this new F150 driving down the road and clearly differentiate it from its rivals. It’s very similar to the Atlas concept vehicle that was first shown a couple years ago, though it has been toned down a little in this latest version of the best-selling pickup in Canada.The all-new body features military grade, aluminum alloy sitting on a high-strength steel frame. The intent here is to create less overall weight without sacrificing strength. However, it’s a bold move that may come back to haunt Ford. Real world driving of this vehicle will produce all kinds of scenarios. What happens when you need to fix the body panels, does the cost escalate to the point it is easier to write it off rather than repair? How will it hold up against constant towing or off-road use? Time will tell but you have to figure Ford has done some homework before unleash-ing the beast.

In The Cab:It’s a spacious cab with a little more door width than the last version. You’ve got to like the 10-position adjustable driver’s seat, which is heated and ventilat-

ed. You won’t want to get out once you have arrived at the work site!The Supercab and Supercrew models offer a fully flat floor providing ample cargo space. The beltline of the doors has been lowered a little and the front pillars are moved forward giving exceptional visibility. An available 8-inch LCD productivity screen on the instru-ment cluster can be set up to provide information tailored to your needs. Fuel consumption, towing and off-road applications offer precise information while driving. There is an optional 400-watt power inverter to power your 110v items and, surely, that will become one hot option because of today’s workplace

demands. Overall, I was impressed with the cab: very comfortable, good visibility and easy access to all the dash functions. The panoramic roof option gives the truck a different feeling driving down the road. When the sun is shining the natural light warms the cab, it almost gives you the feeling you’re driving a convertible. I said almost.Safety first:Standard are front airbags with front driver and pas-senger seat mounted side airbags, safety canopy side curtain airbags.Roadworthy:My tester for the week was a SuperCrew short box ver-sion – although that sounds like an average size truck, it is not. The length of this vehicle is 6190 mm and parking in a small lot can be challenging. Backing in is your safest bet and with the use of the backup camera you are sure to get every inch of space available. Steering is incredibly responsive and the ride is firm yet comfortable. Immediate power when you need it and

plenty available to get this truck up to highway speed. I quite enjoyed the drive and although my day was filled with errands, I still managed to relax as a drove throughout the city, only to have my bubble burst as I ran into never ending construction.

Verdict:I found the new F150 to be slight improvement over the previous version with most of the improvements coming from the interior. The new body design is more of a personal preference and I think it will take me a while longer to come around. Give it a year and I’ll let you know if it was a hit or a miss.

Power:Four engine choices here: 2.7L EcoBoost V6 with 325 horsepower and 375 lb-ft of torque, 3.5L EcoBoost V6 with 365 horsepower and 420 lb-ft torque, 3.5L Ti-VCT V6 with 282 horsepower and 253 lb-ft of torque and a 5.0L Ti-VCT V8 with 385 horsepower and 387 lb-ft.

A uniquely Indian and grand car showBy Nigel Matthews

India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Con-cours d’Elegance. This year it took place at the historical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnificent pieces of jewelry. The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist. Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event. The other person responsi-ble for the event is the re-

nowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India. The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excitement amongst Indian collec-tors. More owners are

now taking an interest in maintaining and restor-ing their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workmanship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of

passion and pride. India has a very rich mo-toring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton. The following year there were four cars in Bombay. Jamshedji Tata an Indian pioneer industrialist, who founded the Tata Group, which has grown into

A uniquely Indian and grand car showBy Nigel Matthews

India’s finest exhibition of vintage automobiles and motorcycles is the Cartier “Travel with Style” Concours d’Elegance.

This year it took place at the his-torical Jaipur Polo Club in New Delhi, located within the racecourse. Cartier has enjoyed a long-standing relation-ship with India and in particular the Maharajas dating back to 1911. They would entrust Cartier to design and set their precious stones into magnifi-cent pieces of jewelry.

The opulence and elegance of India’s long-standing automotive legacy has returned to India thanks to the vision and hard work of the event creator and director, Mark Shand, a British travel writer and conservationist. Sadly, he died in 2014 and he was dearly missed at this year’s event.

The other person responsible for the event is the renowned Indian automotive historian and expert, His Highness Rana Manvendra Singh of Barwani who hand picks some of the rarest restored and preserved vintage automobiles from across India.

The Cartier Concours, which began in 2008, has generated great excite-ment amongst Indian collectors. More owners are now taking an interest in maintaining and restoring their cars to the high standards required for such an international event. Having visited a restoration shop in Kolkata, I have to mention that the quality of workman-ship. Given the equipment that they have, it is amazing and absolutely first

class. It is obviously driven by a great deal of passion and pride.

India has a very rich motoring heritage dating back to 1897, when a resident of Calcutta, imported the first car into India which was a De Dion-Bouton. The following year there were four cars in Bombay. Jamshedji Tata an Indian pioneer industrialist, who founded the Tata Group, which has grown into India’s largest conglomer-ate company, owned one of them. Ratan Tata, who is the great grandson of the company founder and Chair-man Emeritus of Tata & Son, was at the Concours and enjoying a personal inspection of the cars on display as we performed our judging duties. Tata purchased Jaguar and Land Rover from Ford in 2008 for $2.6 billion. I’m sure Mr. Tata enjoyed viewing the 1951 Jaguar MKV, it’s a pity there weren’t any old Series I Land Rovers present.

The Maharajas possessed an incred-ible purchasing power and only bought the finest products, particularly when it came to cars. A quarter of the Rolls-Royce production between 1912 and 1947 went to India.

Having lost a number of significantly important cars, the Indian Government put measures into place to protect their automotive heritage by eliminat-ing the export of cars from India. It is also extremely difficult to import a vehicle manufactured after Jan 1st 1950 into the country without being subjected to as much as 181 percent duty.

Manvendra was very successful

in persuading some of the diffident owners to display their automobiles, in some cases, vehicles that have not been publicly viewed before.

It is unique and it is India’s closest comparison to the most famous event in the world the Pebble Beach Con-cours d’Elegance. It is a comparatively young event, which focuses on India’s automotive heritage, unlike Pebble Beach. Vehicles are not shipped to India from all over the world because only vehicles from within India can enter. I hope that it remains that way because this is what makes it so special, celebrating the distinctiveness of India’s post-Independence automo-tive heritage. It gives people a chance to see some magnificent cars from the esteemed stables of Indian royal patrons and noted private collectors, who can be seen walking around the Polo field as others participate in the catered and afternoon high tea.Visit the picture gallery at drivewaybc.ca

The annual Touch A Truck event at Pan-orama Rec. is a commu-nity favourite, with kids of all ages clambering over a smorgasbord of big rigs, honking horns, spraying the fire hoses and fantasizing about trundling down the road.

And behind all the fun and games is a group of people who are driven to finding a cure for childhood can-cer.

Team 4 Hope was founded in 2011 by Lisa Hopkins, 10 years after her son Jordan’s first diagnosis of neuroblas-toma.

“We wanted to give something back to the medical community,” says Colette Hopkins, Lisa’s sister-in-law and member of Team 4 Hope from the begin-ning.

Hopkins is visibly emotional as she talks about her nephew. “He was diagnosed when he was two, and he turned 16 this year.” Jordan beat the cancer, some-thing only a small per-centage of kids do.

“It’s aggressive, and it’s deadly,” she says. “And there haven’t been any real advances in researching this par-ticular cancer in 20 years.”

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracra-nial solid cancer in chil-dren, which essentially means tumours outside of the brain. It is also the most common can-cer, period, in infancy. And because the initial symptoms can be simi-lar to a flu — fatigue, loss of appetite, fever and joint pain — it can be incredibly difficult to diagnose and treat at an early stage. In fact, in approximately half of all cases, neuro-blastoma has already spread to other parts

of the body before it’s ever diagnosed.

There are 11 children just in the Victoria area who have been fighting neuroblastoma since the Team’s creation in 2011.

“We’ve lost a couple of those kids,” says Hopkins. “Some are in remission, and some have relapsed.”

The survival rate once neuroblastoma has relapsed is 30 per cent, a statistic that hasn’t changed in decades, despite major advances in other fields of cancer research.

It’s one of the reasons the team is working so hard to fundraise.

According to Team 4 Hope’s cancer informa-tion on their website, in Canada, less than two per cent of the National Cancer Institute’s annual budget is spent on all 12 major groups of pediatric cancers combined.

And yet, it reads, can-cer kills more children than any other disease and more than asthma, cystic fibrosis, diabe-tes and pediatric AIDS combined.

Helping to narrow the research gap, Team 4 Hope has raised more than $250,000 in five years, with more than $26,000 coming from

the Touch A Truck event alone. The funds are made available to medical researchers through a grant pro-cess that will hopefully yield new treatments for neuroblastoma.

“It’s seed money,” says Melissa Drolet, a member of the team. “In medical research, $250,000 isn’t a lot of

money, but it gives them enough to get pre-liminary results, and then they can take that and apply for govern-ment funding.”

This will be the third year the team has been able to offer a grant.

The women of Team 4 Hope also work hard to make sure that the money they do raise is able to go straight to the researchers, and funnel a minimum of 85 per cent of the pro-ceeds directly back into the cause.

“We go out of our way to find volunteers and get donations,” says Drolet, and adds that the only costs incurred by Touch A Truck this year have been the insurance and partial costs for a billboard. Everything else has come through donations or corporate sponsors.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

Saanich Peninsula-based developers, the Marker Group, are about to break ground on their new, five sto-rey residential building in the heart of downtown Sidney.

And even before the first shovel turned over the dirt, the project had sold 14 of its 24 units — plus its com-mercial space on the ground floor.

Construction of the Merid-ian Residences on Third Street began this week with the demolition of the former McLarty’s Furniture building. Mike Cronquist, vice-pres-ident of business develop-ment with the Marker Group, says they have been pleased with customers’ response to the project.

“It’s generally being used by people who are downsiz-ing,” he said. “With our other projects at Seaport West, the Pier and another in North

Saanich, we can get a handle on what people are looking for and it seems many want to downsize,”

The residential units in the Meridian will range from 1,100-square-foot, two-bed-room spaces, to 800-square-foot single units. They include high quality furnish-ings, storage on the same floor as well as some in-suite storage space.

“It really will be a comfort-able space to downsize into,” said Cronquist.

The street-level commer-cial space has been designed as a working and living space.

An owner, explained Cron-quist, could run a business up front and live in the back. In general terms, he said the space can be used for a fully commercial enterprise

— or as a home — and eas-ily revert back again to com-mercial space.

“It’s the right answer for that location,” he said.

Located steps away from Beacon Avenue, Sidney’s retail hub, the Meridian is designed to encourage peo-ple to walk to their favourite shopping places. With only one parking stall per unit, that lifestyle — interacting

with neighbours and busi-nesses in the downtown core — will be a fact of life for owners, Cronquist said.

Of the 10 residential units left on the market, Cronquist said they have a fairly wide price range.

There are six one-bedroom units available (as of mid-May), starting at $309,900 and jumping up to $374,900 at the penthouse level.

Four of the remaining units have two bedrooms and will cost between $419,900 and $519,900.

Demolition of the existing structure began this week and Cronquist said they will be working at the same time on getting their building per-mit from the municipality.

He estimates construction time will be between 12 and 14 months.

First meeting set for May 30 at SHOAL Centre

SIDNEY — The move-ment to bring an active Kiwanis Club back to life in Sidney is holding an organizational meet-ing this month.

On May 30, organiz-ers will be calling on all interested people to elect the club’s board and set out how often they will meet. Kiwanis member Ken Smith recently approached the News Review about the plan to bring the club back to Sidney, after it folded in late

2012. It had dwindled to around nine active members.

Smith, who lives in Oak Bay, joined fellow Kiwanis Club member Patrick Ewing of Victo-ria in March, to drum up support for the Sid-ney club.

Now, after consulting with the mayor of Sid-ney, Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and others, they have found there is a need for the club’s commu-nity works.

Local Kiwanis clubs have developed a variety of local proj-ects throughout the years, states a media release. The former Sidney and Peninsula

Kiwanis Club had many projects, including Breakfast with Santa, the Christmas Toy Drive, Easter Egg Hunts and the Halloween Street Safety Patrol.

Clubs also raise money to fund schol-arships, parks, sports teams and child sup-port organizations, to name a few.

“I have been an active member in Kiwanis since 2002, and joining Kiwanis was one of the

best and most reward-ing things I have ever done,” Smith stated. “I want people in Sidney to have that same life-changing opportunity.”

The Sidney Kiwanis Club organizational meeting is set for 10 a.m. on Saturday, May 30 in the computer room of the SHOAL

Centre on Resthaven Drive. Those inter-ested should RSVP to Thomas Sturge at [email protected].
