Since 2001, Ed Widenmaier has been working hard with a team to replace a small cenotaph in Central Saanich.

Widenmaier is a founding member of the Peacekeeping Veterans Asso-ciation and he and others put together a stone with a plaque on it in front of the municipal hall, using it as a wreath laying site for local Remem-brance Day ceremonies, but he said it just isn’t enough.

On Nov. 2, the District of Central Saanich approved a new location for the cenotaph to be in Centennial Park.

“Finally, throughout years of begging and three different mayors, it was finally established at that meeting that they are going to build a proper

cenotaph and they will just transfer that stone with it,” said Widenmaier after learn-ing about the council decision this week.

Leslie Fernstrom, a junior deacon at the Central Saanich Masonic Hall recently

made a $10,000 donation towards the new cenotaph. Being Masons, Fernstrom said monuments are their thing . In their

own building on Newman Road, he said they have a corner stone, laid when the building was first built.

“If you look at Masonic tradition, these things are part of our heart and soul,” he said.

With a $10,000 start, Central Saanich coun-cil also agreed to match donations as they come in, taking it from their 2017 budget.

The new cenotaph has to be completed by March 31, 2016 in order to qualify for a grant from the federal government through the Veterans Affairs ministry.

Widenmaier said the community is grow-ing and with a crowd in a confined space such as the municipal hall, people can’t

properly take in the Remembrance Day ceremony, or see the current monument itself.

“Ours is like a penny to a Toonie,” he said.He calls it “just an impersonation of a cenotaph” and has been busy

trying to get donations from people to go towards the new structure.Fernstrom said the small monument is embarrassing, adding there is

something in the ground that nobody knows exists.

Tip of the Peninsula

What’s up in West SidneySIDNEY —The Town of Sidney has moved

into the consultative stage with tenants, busi-ness owners and residents of West Sidney as it creates its new local area plan.

Councillors had promised during the 2014 municipal election to discuss the future of the area. The West Sidney Industrial Group had lobbied the municipality on issues such as needed infrastructure improvements (side-walks and street lighting , for example).

Mayor Steve Price says following consulta-tion, the Town will create a detailed list of the area’s needs and determine the cost of doing work there. He added the Town may have to look at borrowing money to pay for improve-ments in West Sidney. — News staff

Participants in Monday’s Walk and Talk at the former Sandown race track in North Saanich talk about potential agricultural uses of close to 85 acres of land given to the municipality in 2014 in a deal with the site’s former owners.

Steven HeywoodNews staff

What to do with 85 acres of former horse racing track is the subject of an ongoing com-munity consultation in North Saanich.

This week, a series of walks and talks began on the grounds of the Sandown prop-erty, on Glamorgan Road. Led by VisionSandown, it’s a series of four tours based on the four main themes to emerge on land use from surveys sent out and completed earlier this year.

Those themes, says Rhi-anna Nagel, the research and project co-ordinator with VisionSandown, are: agricul-tural production; ethnocology (the natural landscape); the history of the site, and; trails and public access.

On Wednesday, Nagel and a group of students from the University of Victoria took people around the property, discussing the plant and wild-life values there — everything from medicinal and edible plants, to the proposed fruit tree barrier between the prop-erty and a proposed commer-cial segment called Sandown

Commons.The latter area is 12 acres

retained by the former prop-erty owners, the Randall fam-ily. They have plans to turn that area into a retail space.

In a deal that took a few years and only finalized in 2014, they agreed to give the District of North Saanich the 85 acres. In return, they can create their commercial devel-opment, while tearing down the existing buildings and remediating the land.

The District contracted the Capital Region Food and Agri-

culture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR) to lead a public pro-cess looking to determine the best use of the property — sticking with an agricultural theme. VisionSandown was created by CRFAIR and Nagel said their job is to take all of the community input and make recommendations to council next year.

Already, she said some ideas are rising to the top of people’s priority lists.

Agricultural uses are top of mind, Nagel said. Those range from community gardens and

full farm use, to incubator farms — or allowing new farm-ers to try their hand at it.

“It’s actually looking to use the land to create a hub of agricultural activity,” Nagel said.

At the same time, there are people asking that the history of the area not be forgotten, and that the public be allowed access through the property. As well, there are still ques-tions about when and how the buildings will be removed and the land remediated to accom-modate agricultural activities.

This Saturday, Nov. 7, a third walk and talk takes place on site from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., discussing trails and public access.

A final tour of the grounds is Nov. 21, 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., and will explore how the Dis-trict might weave the track’s history into future use of the land.

Nagel said VisionSandown will collect all information for a draft report to North Saa-nich council in February and at the same time hold a large community dialogue on the findings. Their final report is expected to be handed in to North Saanich by April, 2016.

Skateboarders and interested people are invited to an open house information ses-sion at the Sidney fire hall this month.

On Nov. 24, the Town of Sidney hosts a design session, featuring New Line Skateparks.

The company was hired by the municipal-ity this year to create a new skate park facil-ity, replacing the exist-ing one south of the

Mary Winspear Cen-tre. The work is being done now, in anticipa-tion that the current skate park site will be removed to make way for a proposed commu-nity safety building.

Mayor Steve Price says the consultant will come up with a prelimi-nary design based on input from youth and others in town. Already, he said, feedback has been coming into the municipal office on the project.

“We have received

tons of positive input,” he said.

This month’s open house, Price continued, should hopefully draw skateboarders, bike rid-ers and other users of the park.

A new facility has been earmarked to go

on land at the north end of Tulista Park, off Lochside Drive, near a portion of Sidney’s waterfront.

In addition to the meeting, people can submit their ideas about the facility online at the Town’s website, sidney.ca.

Follow the skate park links through the Town’s projects and ini-tiatives link.

Watch the site and the PNR for more details on the Nov. 24 meeting, including start time.

Safety building awaits court rulingSidney’s new fire hall still in design phaseSteven HeywoodNews staff

Sidney’s proposed new community safety building could be picked up and moved to a third location if need be — but that’s something Mayor Steve Price says he hopes doesn’t happen.

The replacement fire hall and additional facil-ity structure is being planned for property owned by the society that operates the Mary Winspear Centre. The Town of Sidney and the Memorial Park Soci-ety (MPS) entered into a preliminary agree-ment in April, 2015, that would see the land leased to the municipal-ity.

That lease — or the ability of the society to issue one — is currently before the courts, said Price, as the MPS seeks to change a long stand-ing covenant to allow it.

Price said a deci-sion from a judge is expected in around six weeks.

Should that not be successful, the land would no longer be available for the proj-ect and would face a search for its third site.

Already, the build-ing was rejected from a site south of Sidney Ele-mentary School. The board of education of

School District 63 (Saa-nich) opposed the plan, forcing the Town to find an alternate location.

They selected a por-tion of land adjacent to the Mary Winspear Centre and have been planning for it ever since.

Price noted, how-ever, that Sidney does have a list of alternate sites that would have to be reviewed again, should this fall through.

“We are going to build it somewhere,” he said, noting any move forward on the plan depends on the outcome of the court process.

Architects, in the meantime, are about half-way done with their proposed build-ing design, Price con-tinued. Once the design work is done, Price said

the Town will be able to get a more accurate cost estimate. To date, they have looked at an estimated $5 to $8 mil-lion for the building, stating the $8 million is the upper end of any borrowing they might do to pay for it.

Price said a com-pleted design of, and cost estimate for, the community safety building will give coun-cil a better idea of how much they will seek in a borrowing bylaw.

Council has stated they will take the bor-rowing bylaw to the public in a counter-peti-tion process. This is expected to be fleshed out by January or Feb-ruary, 2016.

The building would house a new fire hall and other local emer-gency services.

Town of Sidney/file

Sidney’s proposed community safety building will be located south of the Mary Winspear Centre — if the courts approve a lease.

Gender equality a good start

Prime minister Justin Trudeau’s nearly equal gender split in his cabinet played well into a recent panel discussion at Royal Roads University, entitled Women Leading Change.

The panelists and keynote speaker, all women, have each held positions of leadership and most have studied the topic at length.

As expected, not everyone was thrilled with Trudeau’s decision to create an even split in his cabinet.

On social media, some criticized him, pointing out that it may be irresponsible to not install the best candidate for each post. Historically, as female political veterans can attest, that hasn’t always happened as the old boys’ network has tended to dominate.

The numbers from the October 19 federal election were moderately encouraging.

Eighty-eight women were elected, or 26 per cent of the total of 338 seats. While that’s 12 more female voices in the house — representing about 40 per cent of the 30 new ridings — it’s barely higher than the 25 per cent in the previous Parliament.

Nonetheless, it was good to see more women running.

Among the big three parties, the NDP had the closest to a gender split. Of its 338 candidates, 146 (43.2 per cent) were women, and 18 of its elected MPs (40.9 per cent) are female. The Liberals will have the most women, 50, in Parliament, or roughly 27 per cent of their total of 184 MPs. The Conservatives lagged well behind, with just 17.2 per cent of its 99 seats (17 MPs) to be held by women.

Balancing the cabinet is a bold move by Trudeau and makes a statement unparalleled in Canadian federal government history. In doing so he is showing faith and trust in the abilities of women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to show what they can do.

We’re confident these newcomers will shine when put in positions of leadership, even under the harsh glare of the old guard.

— Black Press

I totally disagree that we should adopt an Single Transferrable Vote (STV) system of counting votes in electing members of Parliament as it too has flaws and, as noted, has been rejected by the electorate on more than one occasion.

In my view there is a simple solu-tion to the current system wherein Stephen Harper governed with the approval of just 24 per cent of eli-gible voters and Justin Trudeau will with 27 per cent.

The first step is to make voting compulsory with fines as Australia does.

Every day we see thousands of Syrian refugees who are willing to die to have the privilege and the right to vote that more than 30 per cent of Canadian voters throw in the trash.

Second, in any riding wherein there is no clear winner (i.e 50 per cent of all votes cast plus one vote) we do as the French do in electing a president. In a riding where there is no clear winner, we have a run off vote two weeks later between the top two candidates.

Yes, it will take more time to sort out who gets to govern but in the end we will be governed by the will of 50 per cent of the eligible voters.

Given we are supposed to have fixed election dates let’s do as the Americans do.

Have a vote as we did in mid October but the new government is not sworn in until January 2. This gives plenty of time to complete the run off votes.

Simple, transparent and effective.

Keep feet to the fireThank You so much for writing

and posting the editorial on trophy hunting (PNR, Nov. 4).

One can only wonder why our esteemed premier is so intransigent on this and similar issues but expe-diency not morality is her modus operandi.

Keep her feet to the fire on this matter as tremendous public sup-

port, almost unparallelled for any issue, is making her a lonely foolish figure.

Dr. Andrew D. HosieSidney

Get out of the wayThere’s a fallacy in regards to the

debate over secondary suites in North Saanich.

Beware of fallacious claims by NIMBYs. They’ll say that utility costs increase, but in fact they decrease because water is metered, sewer charged on water and electricity metered — getting more use out of the same infrastructure reduces costs.

They’ll whine about parking but my observations show that many suite residents cannot afford cars or don’t bother as transit is usable.

However, multiple young occu-pants under one rental of a whole house are a problem. NIMBYs will claim safety is a problem, but I see the problem as those multiple occu-pant situations and drunken own-ers with delinquent teenagers. In any case that’s a policing shortcoming, not a zoning matter.

As for one area’s rules against secondary suites, Saanich simply excluded areas like that from the bylaw allowing secondary suites.

More housing is needed in North Saanich and Sidney. Politicians who really care about people will get out of the way of people building and earning.

• Central Saan-ich council approved Centennial Park as the location for a pro-posed new memorial cenotaph. They also decided that funds be re-allocated from their 2017 budget to the 2016 period. They also accepted a dona-tion from the Masonic Lodge of $10,000 to the project. The Dis-trict will also apply for a federal grant, meaning the project must be completed by March 31, 2016.

• Central Saanich will no longer fund

maintenance projects in its grant-in-aid pro-gram. The change affects district-owned facilities leased to third parties.

• Council voted to cap the District’s 2016 grants-in-aid funding to 0.7 of one per cent of their annual budget — the equivalent of $99,500.

• The Friends of

Island View Beach have asked the District for a contingency plan to provide for immedi-ate repairs if a sea wall or natural berms in the park be breached due to the Super El Nino weather system this winter and spring. Mayor Ryan Windsor said he would discuss this further with the Capital Regional Dis-trict, operators of the park.

Known as Canada’s most authentic Pink Floyd tribute band, PIGS will be back in Sidney this weekend to perform exactly like Pink Floyd did — right down to their very facial expressions.

Lead singer Josh Szczepanowski, the David Gilmour of the band, said that this Sat-urday’s performance at the Mary Winspear

Centre will be all about the 40th anniversary of Pink Floyd’s album, Wish You Were Here.

Having played at the Mary Winspear before, Szczepanowski said it’s going to be a good show and that the band has a sort of universal message.

“Something about them sort of speaks to everybody,” he said. “Last time we played here, my grandfather came and saw us and he was almost 90, whereas we also have kids come (out).”

PIGS consists of: Szczepanowski; Geoff Howe as Roger Waters, playing bass and acous-tic guitar; Jon Baglo as Snowy White on guitar and bass; Adam Baster-field as Richard Wright on keyboards, and; Mike Quirke on drums as Nick Mason.

Forming seven years ago, the members have all been in different bands. Szczepanowski said it offers a unique experience with the ability to perform in big stage shows.

PIGS is known for their authentic style, taking the audience back to one of the world’s most timeless bands.

“What makes us so authentic is that we each pick one member of the band and we per-form as that member of the band. So whatever they really did, we do,” said Szczepanowski.

He said Pink Floyd is his favourite band, and they are also his dad’s favourite as well.

In terms of Pink Floyd’s popularity, Szczepanowski says he doesn’t think they ever really went away.

The band hasn’t actu-ally met the members

of Pink Floyd but have seen some of them per-form. When asked what he thinks Pink Floyd would think of their tribute band, he said he would hope they like it.

“I should think that they would be sur-prised at how accurate we manage to be.”

With Pink Floyd not performing these days, one could argue that PIGS is the only oppor-tunity to really see what Pink Floyd was like live.

“If you want to see a band play the Pink Floyd music as though they wrote it, play it the way a real band plays music — that is what we do.”

In trying to duplicate that experience, Szcz-epanowski said they hone in on Pink Floyd’s live performances from 1977. That’s because that was the tour Pink Floyd first had a backup guitarist, which Szczep-anowski said is more authentic for PIGS, as they too use a backup guitarist.

“It’s a tour that really kind of brought together everything. They played a lot of these tunes live, so there’s some footage of it. There’s not a lot of video or anything but there’s some audio recordings,” he said, adding PIGS studied it, making sure they do everything exactly right.

“We don’t say any-thing on stage that they didn’t say … so we really are right down to performing it like a real band.”

The concert will take place tomorrow and has been sold out for weeks. Szczepanowski said that the band just might be back in the new year.

Would You Prefer?Would You Prefer?Studies show atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) starts to disappear after taking Medi-C Plus™ (high dose vitamin C and lysine) for six months.

Millions of North Americans die after heart attack and kidney failure due to atherosclerosis. Others lose legs or go blind because of poor blood supply. And millions of patients with diabetes, notorious for causing atherosclerosis, are unaware Medi-C Plus can help to prevent these horrific complications.

Medi-C Plus is a safe and effective natural remedy to fight atherosclerosis without the many complications of cholesterol-lowering drugs.

History will show it’s tragic that this research is being totally ignored by the medical establishment.

BOOK



Chris Harker and his wife Catriona began what he calls their love affair with Tanzania in 1969.

That was when he was contracted by the Canadian government to go there to teach. Catriona had just received her qualifica-tions as a teacher, and was in the country as well.

It was his time in Tanzania that inspired Harker to write three books. His third, the recently-published The Call of Katesh is like a sequel to his first book, White Necklace.

“We had a great three years there. Our daugh-ter was born there and then in 1972 we came back here and I worked for the Saanich school board for close to 30 years,” he told the PNR at his home in Sidney.

Retiring in 2000, the couple, still fairly young, wondered what they would do with their spare time.

“We wanted to go back to Tanzania but we didn’t want to just sort of hang around and be tourists.”

Hanging around was the last thing they did. The two formed a safari company, becoming guides. Since 2001, they

have taken around 500 people there and back.

They have also become involved with an organization called the Canadian Haram-bee Education Society (CHES), a non-profit organization based in Surrey, which operates scholarship programs in Tanzania and Kenya, providing the funding for girls to go to sec-ondary school.

“Everybody goes to elementary school. If you want to go to sec-ondary school, you have to pay for it and quite often if families don’t have the money, they will send the boy but they won’t send the girl,” he said.

Harker said the pro-grams, based in a town called Katesh, offer girls four years of education. They reach close to 700 girls in both Tanzania and Kenya.

In going to the small town, the Harkers made a lot of friends and have had interest-ing experiences.

“When something interesting happens, I tend to write it up,” he said.

The chapters of the book are titles of the experiences he’s had there, from the kids he’s reached and the people they’ve worked with, to a special tree named after his wife.

Harker remembers those experiences, writing about each one. The stories in his book are accompanied by images captured by either him or his wife.

The first and last of his books are all about the CHES program. Pro-

ceeds from the sale of the books go directly towards the organiza-tion.

The second book is more a personal recol-lection of events that happened to them when in Tanzania on safari, while teaching in

a school there, to hav-ing a child in the middle of nowhere.

When asked what his initial reaction was to Tanzania, Harker said the teaching was a great experience.

“I think it was prob-ably the best teach-

ing situation a teacher could possibly imagine — because the kids were very highly moti-vated. They knew that their life was going to be dramatically changed for the better if they got an education.”

He said he even got

called back into the classroom as the bell went off, as the stu-dents were wanting their homework

“I taught for years in Canada. That never happened,” he said with a smile.

Harker said there is a universality in writing and the children just understood it, memo-rizing lines of poetry, eager to always learn.

“I had to restrict the number of pages for essays whereas in Can-ada I would get ‘two pages? Can I double space?’”

Harker is selling his latest book, completed just last week, for $20. All of the money will go towards CHES. The Call of Katesh can be purchased through him directly at [email protected] or by calling 250-656-9229.

He and his wife will be taking a safari group back to Tanzania in October of next year.

SALESCENTRESALESCENTRE


Stowe, Vermont – It really wasn’t until its fifth generation – starting in 1998 – that the Volkswagen Passat became a household name in Canada.Perhaps one reason was because it went by two other names prior, including the Dasher and the Quantum. But since 1998, the Passat has been a core model for the German automaker this side of the Atlantic.For 2016, it goes through another metamorphosis to bring an even stronger product to the market in an intensely fierce segment: the mid-size sedan. There are quite a few things that the Passat does well. First is design, whether that’s the inside or outside.For the 2016 model year, it goes through a major overhaul to not only look fantastic, but also feel fantastic when it comes to soft touch materials inside and time behind the wheel.

There’s a new sculpted hood, which was described by Eugen Enns, exterior design specialist for the Passat, to look like a Hugo Boss suit. Why a Hugo Boss suit? – Because that brand looks good on everyone! No matter your size. He mentioned that Armani suits are fantastic, but you have to fit a certain body type to really pull it off. The crisp pleat on the hood gives the front end flair and a nice focus but isn’t so dramatic that it could easily offend the masses. Then there are new front fenders, grille, front and

rear bumpers, trunklid, rims and available LED headlights and taillights. Not to mention it’s the first time the Passat will get an R-Line, to enhance its already great package.The R-Line package features unique rocker panels, a stylized front bumper, a modified rear diffuser, and 19-inch aluminum-alloy wheels. Furthermore, only the roof, doors, and the body side stamping carry over from the 2015 model. All the rest of the sheet metal is new.Slip inside the cabin and you’re greeted to an all-new instrument panel that includes two

large gauges. The new upholstery, two-tone décor panels, elegant piano black and laser-grained chrome trim contribute to the welcoming atmosphere the Passat has been known for over the last couple of generations.Aside from visual appeal, the intermingling of textures, tones and hues throughout the cabin blend harmoniously together, and they all look fantastic. Then there’s the 6.3-inch display that acts as a focal point in the cabin.On the road, expect to experience a quiet, smooth

and competent ride.The winding and sweeping roads in and around Vermont were a great place to test out the Passat’s electro-mechanical power steering. While I would have liked a little more feedback on the twisty roads, for highway driving and maneouvering, it does the job very well.Allowing me to get up to those highway speeds was the aid of the 1.8L, four-cylinder, turbocharged and direct injection gasoline engine.It comes standard with 170 horsepower and 184 lb-ft of torque, which is then paired with a six-speed automatic transmission.While we were driving pre-production, American-spec sedans, a near equivalent of the trim I captained is the Comfortline, which

will make up the bulk of sales in Canada and starts at $29,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.)However, if you’re looking to get into a Passat, the base MSRP for the Trendline, which comes with a six-speed manual transmission, comes in at $23,295 or with the automatic, $24,605 (both excluding destination and taxes.)The top-of-the-line Passat comes in the form of the Execline, starting at $38,295 (excluding destination charges and taxes.)The Execline will give you the potency of the 3.6L VR6 engine – complete with a 280 horsepower and 258 lb-ft of torque linked to a six-speed DSG automatic. While this trim will make up a

small fraction of Canadian Passat Sales, but those who want more everything in their Passat can get it if they so desire.Safety is another area that VW pays close attention to.The inclusion of the Intelligent Crash Response System means that the doors automatically unlock, the fuel pump shuts off and, and the hazard lights turn on in the event of a collision.The collaboration of new sheet metal, revised styling on the inside and out, and great safety features solidify the Passat as a worthy model to consider in the mid size sedan category. The 2016 Passat is on sale now for a mid-November delivery.

The Sidney Concert Band will perform their fourth annual Salute to Veterans and cur-rent serving members of the Canadian Forces this Sunday.

“We try to select a good repertoire that represents that era,” says conductor Rob Bannister. “For exam-ple, from the First World War into the Sec-ond World War through the Korean (conflict).”

He said many peo-ple of a certain age will remember sing-ing along to some of the tunes during those times.

The first half of the program will be lighter with Glenn Miller’s song, Moonlight Ser-enade. The band will then feature a couple vocalists. Bannister said singers seem to come forward every year to join in the fes-tivities.

This year, he said the Sidney Concert Band is featuring not only their regular col-

lection of songs, but they also have three women within the band who will sing music by The Andrews Sisters, like Don’t Sit Under The Apple Tree and Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy.

“So it’s a new experi-ence for them, it’s their first time as a group doing it.”

Bannister said the group recently started experimenting with that sort of a format to broaden the genre of the band.

The afternoon show will also feature the Saanich Peninsula Pipes and Drums.

At the end of the show, the audience will

then be asked to join in with them when they perform Let there be peace.

“We always look for-ward to that,” said Ban-nister.

The Sidney Concert Band, he continued, always tries to finish off the evening with O Canada.

Over the years, Ban-nister said feedback has been so good that the concert is almost always sold out.

The band does six to eight events a year including one during the July 1 Canada Day parade and their Christ-mas show is coming up soon.

People can still pur-chase tickets for the Sidney Concert Band’s Salute to Veterans this Sunday at the Mary Winspear Centre — which Bannister said is close to being sold out.

It takes place at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $15 at the Mary Winspear box office. Proceeds go towards helping the band pay for its cost.

The Sidney Concert band is a non-profit group and donated approximately $1,500 in scholarships for area youth. This year Ban-nister said they have a few young people in the band who are still studying music.

October was an emotional month for Mike Morry of Brentwood Bay, as he received his father’s name tag from when he served in

World War One.A man in France by the name of Nicolas Goudefroye,

who was searching with a metal detector, came across the metal name tag, worn out but with a visible name: William Sweetland Morry, Mike’s father.

In the mail also came a letter enclosed from Goude-froye along with a picture of Mike’s father and the name

tag. “It’s just kind of a ghost from the past a hun-

dred years ago. It’s been sitting on the field in France — this little plaque,” said Mike’s wife, Val.

And Mike was very excited to have received the letter.“Well, when I opened it I cried.”Mike doesn’t know where the photo was

taken, but believes it to be off the internet and taken long after the war when his father was around 35 or so. As for the small plaque, it has W.S. Morry (his father) along with a regimental number displayed on it.

The letter from Goudefroye said the name tag was lost by his father while he was travel-ling around Hazebrouk during the First World War. Goudefroye had found the small plate tag in a field behind his home in Cinq Rues and said Mike’s father probably lost it when he got

off the train near the Hazebrouck bypass.“When he found that, he cleaned it up and read

the inscription on it and then he decided that

rather than keep it with his collection of artifacts that he better try and get it back to the family,” said Mike.

Mike said November 11 is important for him to remember not only his father, but his brother as well who was in the

airforce in the Second World War.“I had my dad in WW1 and my

brother was in WW2 and I was lucky enough to be too young for WW2 so I didn’t get involved in any of it,” he said.

“My dad, he died when I was 15, so I never knew him adult to adult, I only knew him as a father to a child. He never talked about the war so I never got to sit down and talk to him about that, but you know, you hear little snip-pets.”

Mike gathered that his father lied about his age and joined up when he was just 17 on Nov. 1, 1915, which brings it to 100 years ago this Novem-ber. As an ordinary soldier and what they call a sapper, W.S. Morry served until the war’s end, coming back in 1920/21. He was in the 67th Western Scots Regiment.

He was gassed in the trenches dur-ing the Great war, said Mike, damaging his lungs, which Mike said could have been the reason he got lung cancer and would later die of the disease.

His dad was also a founding member of the Pro Pat’s Legion in Victoria and Mike said to the horror of his mom, he liked spending a lot of time at the Legion, playing snooker and staying long hours.

Mike also has a letter his father had sent to his mother,

giving an update on how he was doing.When asked how he would describe his

dad, Mike said he was gentle, a good ath-lete and loved vegetable gardening.

“Well Dad, he was a real quite guy,” he said.

One of the things his father did was what actor Jim Carey did in the movie Liar, Liar where he showed his son the hand he couldn’t control.

“My dad used to do that with me,” he said, adding, “he would say the words from that poem, ‘slowly he turned’ and as soon as Dad said that I started screaming and I’d run and try to hide..

“And he used to say “slowly he turned” and then this claw would come up, closer and closer. That was our little game.”

What Mike remembers the most about his dad is that he was a storyteller.

“When I was really young (he would tell stories), not about the war but we’d make up stories. I’d always jump into their bed Sunday morning when I was a little kid and then Mom would get up to make breakfast and Dad and I would lay there and he’d say, ‘well you make up a story,’ and I would make up a story and he’d listen…”

“He still tells stories,” added Val. “He’s the storyteller now.”

From the Boer War of the late 1800s to more modern times of conflict, residents of the Saanich Peninsula have answered the call to service.

That’s the focus of this year’s historical display at the Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue. Running now to Nov. 13 only, the display highlights the con-tributions made by Saanich Peninsula residents — both at home and abroad. Gail Petersen, board secretary with the Sidney Museum and Archives, says the dis-play has a distinct focus on the First and Second World Wars and a nod to some

of the activities people at home were doing to sup-port the men and woman on the front.

“Overall, it’s paying trib-ute to service in all aspects,” she said. “It’s local. This area was a sea port and the Vic-toria airport was first an air force base. Even the (army) was based here.”

The museum display has brought together newspa-per clippings — the News Review published many sol-diers’ letters home — and artifacts from the B.C. Avia-tion Museum and many pri-vate collections.

One of those is from David Clark, an author and historian specializing in the activities of Canadian Rangers during the Second

World War. He has been identifying

members of Saanich Penin-

sula Rangers units for years and hopes the museum dis-play will garner more local

stories. Currently, Clark said he’s

looking for more informa-tion and names of those who served with Rangers Company 4, Brentwood Bay.

“I hope people who come to the museum learn that there were Rangers here during the war and find out what they did. Hopefully, people recognize some of the people in the photos.

“It may be a surprise to some, to learn that these units were here, protecting the Saanich Peninsula.”

Next to the Rangers display, Dave Bryan has helped set up a tribute to all branches of the Cana-dian armed forces, featuring uniforms from both the First and Second World Wars.

His is a collection made up of his own artifacts and those from a large collection held by the Army Navy Air

Force Veterans Association (ANAVETS) in Sidney.

“I’m known as the Curator for ANAVETS,” he said, not-ing some of the artifacts are on display at the organiza-tion’s home base in Sidney. But much of it is not.

They take the opportu-nity of Remembrance Day every year — and the muse-um’s annual display — to bring some of the collection out into the public eye.

“Even books,” he said, “it’s amazing the number of books written by people who live on the Saanich Peninsula about their expe-riences at wartime.”

Bryan said he has a col-lection of some 750 such books and each describes the author’s own experi-ences.

As a world-wide organization, the Army Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS) is marking its 175th anniversary this month — and the Sidney branch is joining in on celebrat-ing the occasion.

John Gill, public relations chair for Sidney Unit 302, says the local ladies auxiliary at the branch reached its 65th anni-versary this year. Sidney’s ANA-VETS unit, overall, is closer to 75 years old, he said.

The organization, Gill said, got

its start in Canada.According to ANAVETS itself,

“a charter was given in 1840 by Queen Victoria to create a unit in Montreal. It is felt that units existed well before that time, perhaps as early as the Con-quest of New France in the sev-enteen hundreds.

“The Association derives its name from those remnants of British and French colonial regi-ments which were left in Canada when their regiments returned to Britain or France following their tours of duty protecting the colonies.”

ANAVETS is hailed as Canada’s

oldest veterans’ association.On Nov. 15, the Sidney unit

holds its general meeting at 11 a.m. and opens their doors to the public at around 1 p.m.

Gill said they plan on having birthday cake at around 2 p.m., followed by raffles and draws through the afternoon.

He added the unit will be making donations to the Sidney Lions Food Bank, youth groups and Saanich Peninsula Hospital. A member for 27 years, Gill said it’ll “be a fun day.”

For more details, contact the local ANAVETS unit at 250-656-2051 or email: [email protected].

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, November 6, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview • A19

“I hope people get a sense of remembrance and pride in what a rel-atively small number of Canadians did during the war,” he said.

Canada, Bryan con-tinued, finished the Sec-ond World War with the third largest navy, in the top five in air force strength and an army that had a very solid reputation as a formi-dable fighting force.

Locally, Petersen said the airport was built in the late 1930s as an air force training base for British and Canadian pilots. Brad Morrison with the Archives noted that more than 160 peo-ple actually died while training at the Pat Bay Airfield — something

that isn’t widely known.Morrison added the

Museum and Archives is working with the Vic-toria Airport Author-ity to pay tribute to those servicemen at a planned memorial at Hospital Hill, overlook-ing the airport along

Mills Road in North Saanich.

“The point of all of this,” he said, “is to edu-cate local people about those who gave their lives and about those who came back and made new lives here.

“They are so rarely

honoured.”Petersen said in

future displays, there will be more of a focus

on what the people who stayed at home

did to contribute to the war efforts.

“I turned around to my brothers and I said to them, ‘this is it, this is a cenotaph?’”

His idea is to have a structure designed that has a soldier in the front and a farmer in the back as it fits in well with the Central Saan-ich farming community and those who served in times of conflict.

“I just want it to be something special other than what every-body else has got,” he said.

Both Fernstrom and Widenmaier are hoping to get youth involved, having them take part in a possible contest for design ideas and diagrams for the new structure.

“It’s something that they could respect and something they could

be involved with by at least even looking at it when they’re playing baseball,” said Widen-maier.

Widenmaier, a retired veteran himself with 21 years in the military and 22 years with the Commissionaires, said getting a new cenotaph is important.

“What we have is not adequate, it never was adequate.”

“Here we have these people that did what they did and they should never be for-gotten but in Central Saanich it has been (forgotten,” said Fern-strom. “There’s nothing there.”

With Centennial Park being approved as the new location, Widen-maier listed off many benefits, including space for lots of cars, power source, security

with police nearby and situated in an area that youth will get to look at it all the time.

In any location, he said the cenotaph is about remembering those that served and is a sign of apprecia-tion.

“To honour veterans in any location, there should be something to remind the public that thanks to their con-tribution, we’re here today, enjoying life today.”

Patricia Elaine Day (nee McPhie)

March 17, 1926 – October 28, 2015

It is with immense love and sadness that we announce the peaceful passing of our mother, PATRICIA ELAINE DAY (nee McPHIE), in Summerland on October 28, 2015.

Born in Edmonton, the fourth of ten children over the span of 15 years, Mom was raised knowing that life is not fair or easy, that anything worth doing is worth doing right and to make

the best of what you have. Her family lived for a time in a small cabin on Pigeon Lake in Alberta and we often heard stories of trudging through miles of deep snow, or skating along the lake (once or twice falling through the thin ice), to get to the one-room schoolhouse.

The daughter and sister of Air Force pilots, Pat enlisted in the Canadian Women's Army Corps on her 18th birthday and was promoted to Corporal the following year. She was proud to have served her country during World War II.

Mom knew hardship as a divorcee with a young son in 1950, working full-time to provide for her son the best she could with what little she had. She met the love of her life, Robert George Day (Bob), in a square-dancing group and remarried in 1954. In the early 1960s the family relocated to Sidney, BC, where they raised their son and three daughters. While Dad worked long hours, Mom looked after the house, the children, plus held a number of jobs to help make ends meet. She went without a new dress for years, but somehow put her daughters through dance classes, swimming and riding lessons.

Our Mom taught us the value of perseverance, the importance of integrity and that love of family is everything. Even in the last 6 years, as Alzheimer's stole her away, she still had her upside down smile, her wonderful sense of humour and gentle loving soul.

We will be forever thankful for the caring staff and volunteers at Summerland SeniorsVillage, who have been a part of Mom's family for the past fi ve and a half years.

Pat leaves her son John (Miki) of Sidney and daughters Heather (Jivko) Jeliazkov of Victoria, Janet (Neil) Stenseth of Summerland and Cathryn Day of Langley, grandchil-dren James Corbett (John), Gabrielle and Sofi a Jeliazkov (Heather), and Nicole and Emily Pinard (Janet), three great-grandchildren, sisters June Bulat and Shirly Woodman and brother Alan McPhie, numerous nieces, nephews, in-laws and friends. She has been reunited with her loving husband Bob, who passed away in 2010, with her brothers Alex, Bob and John, and her sister Betty.

In lieu of fl owers, the family requests donations be made in remembrance of Patricia Day to the Alzheimer's Society of B.C. Condolences may be sent to the family through: www.providence funeral homes.com

If the prospect of moving has you wondering how you can possibly pack a houseful of belong-ings — including many you no longer use or want — then fall garage sale season may provide the perfect solution.

While it takes a little planning and a healthy dose of elbow grease, the results can be worth it. Not only will you clear out some, if not most, of those no-longer treasured treasures, but you can also earn a few dollars to put toward your new digs.

For a few tips on how to host a successful garage sale, we checked in with Cassie Kangas, the recently crowned “Queen of Garagellennium,” she laughs.

“At the top of the list is to be organized,” says Kangas, a realtor with DFH Real Estate.

First, ensure the items you put into the “sell” pile are ones you truly want to sell, since “once they’re gone, they’re gone.”

Approaching the date, you’ll want to adver-tise — Used.ca is a popular avenue — and pre-pare easy-to-read signs for your neighbourhood. Kangas finds Saturday sales work better than Sundays, and 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. seems to be a good time. But be prepared for early birds, who’ll likely arrive as early as 8 a.m.

As part of preparation, be sure to have all the items priced, either individually for bigger items or grouped with like items in a box or under a sign — “all pocketbooks 50 cents,” for example.

“Price things realistically,” Kangas advises, sug-gesting that as a rule of thumb, newer items in

good condition might be around one-third of their retail price. Older items, or those in poorer condi-tion, should be priced accordingly.

At the same time, “be willing to negotiate because everyone wants to go to a sale and feel like they’re getting a deal.”

It’s also a good idea to have a box of “free” items that tend to catch people’s eye. Remember also to have enough change on hand, including $10 and $5 bills, in addition to toonies and loo-nies, and keep the cash on you rather than in a box on the property.

When setting up, ensure the items for sale are clearly identified and not mixed with other items in the garage, and make it easy for people to move around, Kangas says.

If possible, try to have the sale visible from the road and have things elevated on tables and shelves, rather than laying them out on tarps, which can be difficult for people to look at.

For electrical items, have an extension cord so shoppers can be sure the item works. For clothes and toys, make sure the items are clean — they’re much more likely to sell.

If you’re not sure if you have enough for your own garage sale, get together with a few friends or neighbours, since “multi-family sale” can be a big draw.

Finally, remember to be a good neighbour, Kan-gas advises. If you’re on a narrow street with lim-ited parking, speak with neighbours ahead of time to let them know extra traffic will be expected for a few hours, and be sure to remove signs once the sale is done.

Once your sale is done with and your storage spaces are cleared of many of those unwanted items, it’ll be much easier to prepare your home for sale. Don’t forget, less clutter is a sign of a well-kept home.

VICTORIA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has appointed three rookie B.C. MPs to his new cabinet, all from the Lower Mainland.

Vancouver South MP Harjit Sajjan, a former Lieutenant-Colonel in the Canadian Forces who served three tours in Afghanistan, is the new Minister of Defence. He was a Van-couver Police officer for 11 years before run-ning for Parliament in the Oct. 19 election.

Vancouver-Granville MP Jody Wilson-Ray-bould, another first-time candidate elected to the new riding of Vancouver-Granville, is appointed Justice Min-ister. Wilson-Raybould is a former Crown pros-ecutor and served as B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations before running for national office.

Delta MP Carla Qual-trough is appointed minister for Sport and Persons with Dis-abilities. A lawyer and specialist in disabili-ties who is visually impaired, Qualtrough won three medals in

swimming at the 1988 and 1992 Paralympic Games.

B.C. Premier Christy Clark congratulated the new B.C. MPs, part of a contingent of 17 elected with the Liberal majority in Ottawa.

“I am pleased to see British Columbia will be well represented at the cabinet table,” Clark said in a statement Wednesday. “I know ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould, Harjit Sajjan and Carla Qualtrough will be strong, passion-ate advocates not just for our province...”
