Latest project by Ramsay Machine Works headed to U.S.Steven HeywoodNews staff

The latest work of art from Ramsay Machine Works will soon be on its way to Washington State.

The company recently completed its latest project — a coke rotor for British Petroleum. Grant Ramsey, vice-pres-ident, says the device was built in Sidney and will act as a cooling mechanism in the coal refining process. The coke produced by BP — and cooled by Ramsay’s rotor — will then be shipped to Japan’s steel manufacturing industry.

“It’s almost like art,” Ramsay said, “but it’s all made of steel.”

Project manager Jass Jackson-Puff says the unit is designed to withstand extreme temperatures as molten coke pours in at one end and then runs through cool water.

He said Ramsay has been recognized as the best manu-facturer of these units in the world for their longevity and quality.

The last time they built a series of coke rotors was approximately 10 years ago, he said.

Ramsay Machine Works, located in the West Sidney industrial area, is known for producing some interesting metal projects — including a very large coal conveyor that had to be shipped by barge out of Patricia Bay in three pieces.

Most recently, they completed a series of UFO-like grain hoppers. Down the road, Ramsay said, the company will be working on a contract for 13 towers, which also promise to be visually striking.

Ramsay added it’s through the support of the community that they are able to take on these projects — especially the Victoria Airport Authority.

To get the largest materials to Patricia Bay for transport, Ramsay must use the airport runway with permission and coordination from the VAA.

“There’s some neat stuff being done in Sidney,” Ramsay said, “and it’s being sent out all over the world.”

“Like anyone else, and like the men, they wanted to serve. And being nurses so close the the battlefield was the only way they could do their bit.”

Victoria historian Yvonne Van Ruskenveld explained the motivation of young women in 1914 in joining the war effort as Britain called upon nurses to serve near the front during the First World War.

Van Ruskenveld, a member of the Old Cemeteries Society in Victoria, recently gave a pre-sentation on the city’s battle-field nurses during the Great War to members of the Saa-nich Peninsula branch of the Canadian Federation of Uni-versity Women (CFUW). Each October, she holds a women’s history tour in the Ross Bay Cemetery and a few years ago came across the names of two Canadian Nursing Sisters. The Nursing Sisters as an organi-zation, first appeared in 1885, according to Veterans Affairs Canada, caring for soldiers sent to quell the North-West Rebellion. From that time, the Nursing Sisters joined every Canadian military force up to the Korean War. These days, nurses in the Canadian Forces no longer go by the term. They were known as the Nursing Sisters due in part to the reli-gious background of wartime nursing, and the style of head-gear they wore that resembled the habit of nuns.

During the First World War, Van Ruskenveld said there were more than 3,000 Nurs-ing Sisters — the only women to be official members of the armed forces of Canada at that time.

One of those nurses from Victoria, Meta Hodge, won the Military Medal and is buried at Ross Bay. Van Ruskenveld became interested in those women, including Ethel Mor-rison, and the Nursing Sisters organization and sought to learn more.

At the time, when Brit-ain called its men to war in Europe, the military saw a need for nurses and organized a series of general hospitals in

Canada to help recruit women. Victoria’s General Hospital No. 5 was one of those, said Van Ruskenveld. From there, women would sign up for ser-vice the same way men would for soldiering.

“Many of those nurses learned to march out at Macaulay Point,” she added.

The first group of 100 nurses from B.C. and across the country were sent in 1914 to Valcartier, Que-bec — the stag-ing point for all military per-sonnel head-ing to England out of Canada. There, they were given mili-tary training in drill and other duties such as hygiene and what kinds of wounds they could expect to see on the battlefront. A Nursing Sister, said Van Ruskenveld, had to be educated as a nurse, from the middle class, young (at least 21 years old) and single. At the beginning of the war, there were only 57 nurses in reserve. When they went over-seas, said Van Ruskenveld, they were commissioned as lieutenants — both for respect reasons and to ensure the male orderlies would follow

their commands.Of the more than 3,000

Nursing Sisters to serve from Canada, just over 1,800 would be sent overseas. Most were assigned to medical facilities near Europe’s Western Front, while others would serve in Greece. Van Ruskenveld said in some cases the nurses were as close as three miles from

the trench lines. They were tasked with preparing dressings and beds, did most of the dress-ing changes on wounded soldiers, fed and cleaned their patients and assisted in

surgery. Van Ruskenveld said the Canadian medical corps was the first to use nurses as anaesthetists.

“When there was a battle coming up, they’d clear the hospitals,” Van Ruskenveld said. “They’d see things that they’d never been exposed to back home.”

They were exposed to harsh conditions, saw and treated terrible injuries and even came under fire. A Ger-man U-Boat attack in June of 1918 caused the sinking of the Canadian hospital ship Lland-

overy Castle that saw the death of 234 people, includ-ing all 14 Nursing Sisters on board. A bombing by enemy aircraft that same month in France killed three Nurs-ing Sisters. Most nurses who died during the war, said Van Ruskenveld, did so due to dis-ease.

When the surviving nurses returned home, many contin-ued their work and began the transition to civilian life. Their lives are now a part of history, something that Van Rusken-veld hopes to share with other people and let them know what these women did in a time when the role of women in Canadian society was not as encompassing as it is today.

“I want people to know how brave these women were and how much they accomplished and how respected they were.”

In Ottawa at the Parliament Buildings, there is a memorial to the Nursing Sisters and the image of a nurse can be found on the veterans memorial statue nearby.

Van Ruskenveld said the work they did earned the respect of the people with whom they served.

Lori Lumley’s Tour de Rock experi-ence has already surpassed expecta-tions.

While there have been some long, emotionally and physically challeng-ing days along the 1,200 km bike jour-ney down Vancouver Island, the Vic-toria Police Detective said she can’t believe the journey that began with training rides in February is almost over.

With only three days left, the Cen-tral Saanich resident said she plans to enjoy each and every remaining day with the 23 teammates that have helped make this experience so special for her.

“We have gelled as a team... I think we have proven we have grown together, experienced the highs and the lows and we are really tight,” she said.

“From here forward I think we can set aside the physical challenges and (focus on) meeting more people and spreading the awareness of why we are here. I am looking forward to meeting more kids and more fami-lies.”

The police officer of 26 years said those connections have already made a lasting impression, point-ing to one from a mother and five-year-old daughter going through chemotherapy who talked to the team about their first time at Camp Goodtimes, where much of the funds raised on the Cops for Cancer tour support.

“(Following) the gratitude they expressed to us, there wasn’t a dry eye on the team,” Lumley said.

“They said ‘If I could have you walk away with any two words it was fun and freedom. Camp Goodtimes represented fun because you got to experience fun and the freedom to know you can go and not worry about medication and just feel like any other kid.’ That was a special time for us.”

Oak Bay PD officer Jordan Carrie

who lost his grandmother and his wife’s grandmother to cancer, said he can’t quite put the experience into words and can hardly believe that the tour is already so close to being over.

“I don’t really want it to end I have to say. It is hard to think in (days) it is going to end,” he said. “It has been such an amazing journey so far. I just look forward to getting back and get-ting to some of the schools on the lower island and seeing my family.”

The former Auxiliary officer for the West Shore RCMP, who first learned of the Tour de Rock while a student at Spectrum high school said getting back into schools as a rider instead of a student or an auxiliary mem-ber on traffic duty has been unbelievable opportunity.

“It is like so much of the tour so far, words don’t do it justice… With the schools, having them back and having those gyms, it is the fuel that pushes you forward,” he said.

“We have met the junior riders and their families and the stories are so moving and they push you to work harder… You just want to keep rais-ing more and more. it just pushes you to go harder and harder when you see them.”

School visits are also on the mind of Lumley, who said she had Oct. 2 marked on her calendar as soon as she found out the date the tour would be rolling into the Peninsula knowing her days as a police officer aren’t going to last forever.

“We have the privilege of going to Stelly’s Secondary School and I have four children and they all attend Stel-ly’s this year. They have been fund-raising and they will be there the day we roll in so I am super excited about that,” she said.

“I am just thrilled to know I am privileged enough to be part of the 2014 Tour de Rock Team for the com-munity where I was born and raised. It is a wonderful way to cap off my policing career.”

Dorothy Hartshorne is banking on her expe-rience as a North Saa-nich municipal coun-cillor and assistant to a provincial MLA to help propel her into the mayor’s seat in the dis-trict this fall.

Hartshorne has announced her bid for the position in this November’s civic elec-tion on Nov. 15. She takes on incumbent mayor Alice Finall who held onto the job three years ago by acclama-tion and is in her sec-ond term of office.

Hartshorne spent two terms as a coun-cillor in North Saanich from 1999 to 2005.

“I had been on the community’s environ-mental advisory com-mittee (in 1999) and I was just interested,” she recalls. “(Council) are the people who set policy, set the direction for the municipality.”

Paired with her long-time volunteer work within the community, Hartshorne was elected twice and said she was energized by her work on council.

“The staff at the district were amaz-ing to work with,” she said, adding one of the accomplishments she is most proud of during her time on council was the municipality’s work in helping create the Mary Winspear Centre.

However, in 2005 she

and her husband Dan sold their family busi-ness and moved to B.C.’s Cariboo region. She said it was a long-term dream of theirs to build a log house on a lake somewhere in the interior. Yet, Dan is a native of the Saanich Peninsula and Dorothy came to North Saanich in 1969 – the area was still in their blood, she said.

“We really missed North Saanich and dur-ing a visit back here, I realized that this is home.”

The couple, whose two children are grown, moved back to the community in May and Hartshorne said she was asked almost right

away if she would find her way back on coun-cil. She added she knew that when she got back to North Saanich, she would run for council again but she said she found people suggest-ing she run for mayor.

Hartshorne said she will approach the work from a collaborative position.

“I believe in lifting people up, support-ing them and making the organization more effective.”

Hartshorne is aware of the animosity between councillors during the last three year term and would like to see that come to an end during her ten-ure as mayor, if elected.

She said that after Nov. 15 she hopes there will be a clean slate – no matter who is elected.

“(If I am mayor) I will work to keep past issues and conflicts between individuals out of the room,” she said.

Asked about the inci-dents of councillors leaving meetings due to frustration or disagree-ments, Hartshorne said she knows all about that – having done it herself during her time on council, but only once, she said.

“That will always be up to individual coun-cillors,” she said. “But if they do, they will miss what goes on in the room.”

It has been the debate over housing, affordable and other-wise, that has plagued the council this past term and Hartshorne said there needs to be a full, efficient official community plan review to set the direction for council over the next four years. She added she feels council has gone in the right direc-tion on housing, but they need to move ahead with better pol-icy decisions and not create development zones on an ad-hoc basis.

“We need to step back and look at the whole. Enough has been done at this point. Now we need to ask the

community in an OCP review.”

Hartshorne said she doesn’t think she’s pro-or-anti-development, but wants to make a plan for North Saanich in this area.

“It’s a challenge but I feel capable of working with it.”

On the amalgamation issue, Hartshorne said she feels North Saanich should ask its residents about it.

“I’m in favour of find-ing out what people want – I’m not for it, or against it – it’s just really important to lis-ten to what people want.”

She added her guess is that North Saanich wouldn’t want to pur-

sue amalgamation, but admitted it’s a guess only.

“But do you want a council that guesses, or one that knows?”

Hartshorne, while in the interior, worked as an assistant to MLA Donna Barnett and said she learned the ins and outs of provincial government. She said it’s important a mayor knows who to talk to and how the provin-cial process works, in order to get the things the community might need.

It’s this combination of skills and experience that Hartshorne is hop-ing to turn into elec-toral success on Nov. 15.

OUR VIEW

The big story at this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention was a report

commissioned by the B.C. government that reveals municipal pay increases for unionized staff have been running at twice the rate of provincial raises.

When I asked Premier Christy Clark about the intent of this report, leaked just before the annual UBCM convention, she was blunt. It’s to get this issue onto the agenda for the November municipal elections, which the province has decreed shall be for four-year terms instead of three. After local elections, discussions with surviving and incoming municipal politicians will resume.

Things have been going pretty well for the main municipal union, the Canadian Union of Public Employees, for the last couple of decades.

As local election turnout has gone from bad to worse, municipal employees themselves have become an increasingly dominant voting bloc.

Then there are the “labour councils” in urban centres, now almost entirely fronts for public sector unions. They quietly survey council candidates to determine their level of affection for ever-growing public payrolls, and dole out campaign funds accordingly.

Sometimes they organize full slates, with cuddly names like

“Protect Coquitlam” to appeal to low-information voters.

During last week’s convention in Whistler, I caught up to Finance

Minister Mike de Jong in a brief break from the dozens of meetings cabinet ministers have with mayors, councillors and regional directors.

Is the province going to impose some kind of solution?

“There’s not some hidden legislative agenda,” de Jong replied. More data needs to be gathered, and the report shows ongoing problems with management salaries at

the provincial level as well.Is this the first step to imposing

a tight-fisted centralized bargaining agency, such as the government set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Teachers’ Federation to the ground?

“We haven’t formulated our answer,” de Jong said. “What the data does suggest, however, is that there may well be some merit [to centralized bargaining]. One of the recommendations points to a more coordinated approach to some of the negotiations that take place.”

Will the new municipal auditor general have a role in this?

“The purpose of the auditor was not to become an enforcement mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was to play a traditional audit function on whether taxpayers are getting value for money. To that extent I suppose a municipal auditor might be able to comment on the advantages of

coordinating efforts.”NDP leader John Horgan’s attack

on the compensation report was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “one-sided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections.

Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them.

Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided that what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position.

So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near.

Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE?

There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention.

I’ll discuss that in a future column.

Kids deserve much better

The kids are back in school.Getting them there, along with their

teachers, wasn’t easy.But the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the

government deserve some credit for finally getting down to brass tacks after too many false starts in the past several months.

The agreement will not resolve the court cases over the 2002 contract stripping by the B.C. Liberal government, which was the underlying issue that kept the two sides far apart.

That matter will go to the B.C. Court of Appeal this month, after two B.C. Supreme Court judgments that went against the provincial government.

Hopefully, that matter will be settled sooner rather than later. But the glacial pace of court proceedings and the likelihood that the Court of Appeal decision will be appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada, means a final resolution on class size and composition in B.C. schools is likely still years away.

From the beginning, this strike was all about the students, and the quality of their education in our public school system, according to both the teachers and government.

If that’s truly the case, robbing students of education through strikes and lockouts is something neither the province nor the BCTF should be proud of.

In the long term, we need a solution to terminate the seemingly endless labour disputes between the province and the BCTF.

Students looking forward to graduating this year, after 12 years in the system, have never known an educational environment free from labour strife.

Given how this dispute unfolded, most parents will now look to teachers and the provincial government to live up to prove the integrity of their fight for the quality of their children’s education.

A number of years ago, Central Saan-ich council decided that densification

was required in Brentwood Bay and Saanichton. Reasons for this decision were never made clear, although there were some generic statements about affordable housing, local busi-nesses and transportation.

A consulting firm was hired, not to determine the why of densification, but the how, in spite of strong push-back by citizens who felt that the why should be addressed prior to the how. Overall citizens were ignored once again, and the how was addressed, but the why was largely ignored by the study.

The why is difficult to under-stand, especially seeing that to date, densification has cre-ated a fair number of long term vacancies in both retail spaces and apartment units, as well as slow sales of adjacent proper-

ties.Presently densification is not

properly addressed by Central Saanich zoning bylaws, but has been addressed through spot zoning, in some cases with variances, which go against the very spirit of the zoning bylaws, and in others through new spot zones, euphemisti-cally called Comprehensive Development zones. Now coun-cil is trying to enshrine some spot zones as permanent zones for Brentwood Bay and Saan-ichton.

The reality is that from almost all perspectives densifi-cation has been a dramatic fail-ure in Brentwood Bay.

Many years ago my wife and I finally saved enough money to purchase our first home. We could not afford a lot, so we purchased a rather run-down, older house. We replaced the water pipes with copper and the drains with PVC pipes, we added a ground wire and

replaced all of the receptacles. We took the bathroom down

to the studs due to wet walls, and removed the floor to the beams due to rot, and rebuilt the bathroom. We painted all the walls and ceilings, placed new doors on the kitchen cabi-

nets, and lots more. As we did all the labour, the costs were affordable, and we now had a home.

Our experience is not unique, this is how many young couples start out, and there are a num-ber of similar examples from the past in Brentwood Bay, but this is no longer possible.

Now if such a property comes on the market, a developer grabs it. After getting variances and spot zoning approval, the house, often still structurally sound, is destroyed, adding to our landfill problems. In its place, a number of much more expensive houses are built.

This is systematically remov-ing affordable housing from Brentwood Bay.

These developments fre-quently have a “beggar thy neighbour” attitude, resulting in a negative impact of the value and quality of life of adjacent homes through a loss of sun-light and privacy.

In addition, there is a dan-gerous increase in congestion, because these new houses rarely have adequate parking, resulting in many cars parked on the street. In an environ-ment such as Brentwood Bay, with few sidewalks, the result is that pedestrians and cyclists are forced into the middle of the street to navigate around these parked cars.

All in all, densification has resulted in the destruction of affordable houses as they come on the market, while decreas-ing the value of homes in their immediate neighbourhood and creating congestion and safety issues, all results contrary to the stated goals of densifica-tion.

In fact, to date, it would seem that the only beneficiaries of densification in Brentwood have been developers.

Lack of meetings concerning

There have been a lot of cancellations at Sidney’s town hall lately. One meet-ing I attended as an invited guest was canceled due to a lack of quo-rum.

Is this a sign that elections are nearing and incumbents do not want to make publicly known their positions

on controversial subjects in fear of alienating voters?

The old adage “the less said the better” seems to be a popular strategy in this year’s run-up to November elec-tions.

I would be sur-prised if Sidney councillors look forward to attend-ing town hall meetings. These pre-election get-togethers are often more advan-tageous for oppo-nents who are

unsaddled with a serving record.

For the incum-bents in Sidney, controversial past decisions and actions are big targets and will be difficult for them to deal with. Incumbents seem to be bank-ing on long term memory loss to win the day for them.

In the mean-time, the business of government at town hall has come to a near standstill as per-

sonal campaigns begin to gear up.

So far, this month alone there have been two council meet-ings canceled and a significant drop in the num-ber of committee meetings. In Sep-tember/October I wouldn’t be surprised to see reports being tabled that seem-ingly address past issues/criticisms thereby provid-ing a convenient paper defence for those incumbents

in need of one. In the past, the

public gallery at council meetings have sadly wit-nessed very little debate on agenda items.

If you want to hear where your incumbent and perspective councillors and mayoral candi-dates personally stand, you owe it to yourself to attend one of the upcoming public forums.

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Transportation Min-ister Todd Stone is pro-posing coastal commu-nities turn over federal gas tax transfers they receive to shore up ferry service and help keep a lid on fares.

The idea is getting a cool reception from mayors and council-lors in ferry-dependent areas because it would mean the sacrifice of the federal gasoline tax money they now use to fund local infrastruc-ture.

But Stone argued it would not be unlike the decision of Metro Van-couver cities to dedi-cate all of their federal gas tax transfers to TransLink for public transit.

“Let’s think outside the box,” Stone said Thursday outside the Union of B.C. Munici-palities convention.

“(Let’s) have a dis-cussion around gas tax as a potential source of revenue for BC Ferries service, which would have the effect of apply-ing downward pressure

on fares.”Stone said coastal

communities get nearly $30 million a year in gas tax transfers, an amount that repre-sents about a sixth of the $180 million a year the province spends to subsidize BC Ferries operations.

He suggested the redeployment of “some if not all” of that $30 mil-lion would help meet local demands for basic levels of ferry service.

The proposal would need the support of local communities or else it’s dead in the water, and even then it’s unclear how it might work.

Gas tax transfers are subject to federal rules that allow the money to go only to eligible local capital projects, not to operating expenses or to provincial services.

B.C. cities are lobby-ing Ottawa to loosen the restrictions on how the money can be spent and Premier Christy Clark said Fri-day the federal govern-ment should “step up” and enable gas taxes as a potential source for the ferry system.

Campbell River Coun. Claire Moglove,

co-chair of a UBCM committee on ferry issues, said she doubts Vancouver Island cities would agree to give up gas tax money.

“This gas tax issue is a bit of a red herring,” she said. “This is a pro-vincial transportation system that requires proper funding from the province.”

Moglove said Stone’s reference to the use of the gas tax for transit in Metro Vancouver is “comparing apples and oranges” because taxpayers in all other regions of B.C. pay hos-pital capital taxes that do not apply in Metro Vancouver.

She said the ferry system has 92 per cent operating cost recov-ery from fares.

The remaining eight per cent that’s funded by the province – $180 million – is about one third of the $550-million operating budget for the highways system, which Moglove said is generally untolled with no expectation of cost recovery.

Stone has been firm that the province won’t raise taxes to fund BC Ferries and that relief from high fares must come through efficien-cies in other financial areas.

The transportation minister has been spar-ring with Island mayors and councillors since the Sept. 10 release of a UBCM study that con-cluded rapidly rising ferry fares have driven down ridership and damaged the provincial economy.

How can this be? I had a fas-cinating gar-den column

almost finished and bingo, it disappeared. Probably, because it wasn’t really all that fascinating!

Now I do have some-thing interesting to share with you. One of my valued readers, Ingrid, has sent me a letter asking about apple seeds becoming apple trees and how to go about assisting this to happen.

She will not get an expert’s advice on this, just an ordinary gar-dener’s idea (mine!)

First you must

choose a variety, and it should NOT be a hybrid (Gala being a hybrid). Yellow Trans-parent would possibly be a safer choice, and its fruit does make won-derful apple pie!

To get a viable seed, you’ll need to choose a fully ripe apple, prob-ably one that has fallen on the ground, but not a diseased one.

The seeds should be brown, not white. Pick several of the largest and strongest looking seeds and bring them inside to dry in a warm (but not hot) place.

Put the dry seeds in an envelope in the refrigerator for about a

month (the seeds will hopefully believe they have endured a whole winter.)

At this point, plant several of these seeds in some decent soil, in a pot with drainage holes in the bottom. Keep the soil moist, but not

soaking wet until the seeds sprout. This may take months, but, pre-tending to be Mother Nature takes patience!

When life appears, save the strongest seedlings, moving each into a separate pot.

It would probably be a good idea to save sev-eral sprouts, in case of some disaster (a tipped pot and a dried-out seedling, for example).

When your seedlings have at least four dark green leaves transplant them into larger pots, and keep doing this until you have a piece of ground in which to plant your infant trees (or a large pot and a lot

of soil.) Possibly in its sec-

ond year it will bloom, and at that time will need a pollinator. Ask someone (who has the appropriate variety to act as a pollinator) if you can have a flower-ing small branch from a tree, immediately rush around, brushing your borrowed flowers against your tree’s flow-ers.

But, for heaven’s sake, before doing any-thing, find out for sure which variety can serve as a pollinator for your present tree, or you could end up with a whole unwanted apple orchard!)

VisionMattersHealthy Eyes.Doctor Delivered.

Has my vision changed?How frequently should one “change ones glass-

es?” There is no hard and fast answer to this ques-tion. Certain people are able to keep the same pre-scription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Near-sighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requir-ing new prescriptions annually for several years.

Typically, most adults will require lenses for read-ing and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if dis-tance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The read-ing prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required.

The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

THE ARTSNORTH SAANICH

— The Flying Saucers return to Jazz Vespers at St. John’s United Church with their own brand of vintage jazz on Oct. 5 at 7 p.m.

Saxophonist Al Pease will be joined by Clark Brendon and Stuart Munro on guitar and Joey Smith on bass.

Pease, one of Vic-toria’s finest players, began his career in Vancouver. He joined the Air Force Band in 1960, playing all over the globe and with the Naden Band as well, sometimes playing for kings and queens and other notables.

He retired from the forces in 1987, and has since played in clubs around Victoria, at Butchart Gardens and at the Empress Hotel.

As a boy, Brendon was inspired by the music of Oscar Peter-son, Dave Brubeck and Mose Allison.

Now a highly regarded musician in the Victoria music scene, multi-instrumen-talist Brendon plays acoustic guitar, bass, saxophone, percussion and sings.

Brendon has toured Europe, played in New York City, at North America’s largest Swing band festival in Sacra-mento, California, and many more interna-tional gigs.

Bassist Smith is much in demand in the Victoria area.

Originally from Ten-nessee, he came to Victoria via the Glenn Miller Orchestra, for whom he played bass for two years.

He has also played with a long list of jazz luminaries which includes Cleo Laine, Herb Ellis, Rosemary Clooney, Charlie Byrd, John Dankworth, George Essihos, Daniel Lapp and CanUS.

In addition, he has appeared at numerous jazz festivals in Canada and the US, including a performance at Ken-

nedy Center in Wash-ington, DC.

Guitarist Munro was born in Scotland, set-tling in Victoria after touring the world, play-ing all the way.

In addition to the Flying Saucers, he has been a member of Sun-yata for 10 years and now also plays in the Red Hot Swing Set with Reuben Weir and Bren-don.

Jazz Vespers contin-ues on Nov. 2 with Sun-yata, on Dec. 7 with the David Vest Trio, and on Jan. 4 with Quinn Bachand and Friends.

All Jazz Vespers ser-vices begin at 7 p.m. St.

John’s United Church is located at 10990 West Saanich Rd., across from Deep Cove Ele-mentary School.

There is no admis-sion charge, and an offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Ves-pers program.

For further informa-tion on the Jazz Ves-pers program please call Bernadette at 250-656-0875 or email [email protected] to be included on an email list of upcoming concerts.

Darren Reid10th Birthday to rememberHello, my son Dax (the boy on the left) is a � shing

fanatic. For his 10th birthday, my wife and I bought him a full-

day Sturgeon charter on the Fraser river, as we � gured the ‘double digit’ birthday needed to be very special.He brought along his good friend Niko, and we enjoyed a fantastic day of Sturgeon � shing, catching 7 Sturgeon in total, and losing 3 more. This was the biggest Sturgeon, measuring in at exactly 8 feet in length, and approximately 80 years old! In scanning this � sh, our guide discovered that it had never been tagged, so we were also lucky enough to be involved in the process of inserting a tag into this � sh before it was released. As our guide told us, we were fortunate to experience an “epic” day of Sturgeon � shing that would be hard to beat!

Crerar, Robert Archibald born on September 25, 1946 was surrounded by family when he journeyed home to his Lord at sunrise September 18, 2014 after a very brave battle with brain cancer. He is survived by his loving wife and soul mate, Suzanne, son Chris (Melody), daughter Bobbi, brother John (Mary), 6 grandchildren and a wee baby great granddaughter. Bob was predeceased by parents Neil and Vi and his brother Ronald. A truck driver for over 50 years he was highly respected by truckers for his work ethic and incredible loyalty. Bob’s spirit of gentleness and generosity touched the lives of many. Our hearts are broken that he has passed from our midst yet filled with the knowledge that we will once again see him.Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Saanich Peninsula Hospital for their gentle care and compassion for Bob and all of his family - your names will be forever etched upon our hearts. Thank you too to Rev. Osita, to our parish family of St. Andrew’s, whose prayers and support gave strength and hope to us as we journeyed down this path in which sorrow and heartbreak were unwanted companions. Your names too remain in our hearts.Bob’s Celebration of Life will be held at St. Andrew’s Anglican Church, 9691 Fourth St. Sidney on Tuesday, October 7th at 2:30pm. In lieu of flowers donations in memory of Bob can be made to St. Andrew’s.

Panthers rookie #9 Grayden Hohl moves in for a scoring chance in a game against the Nanaimo Buccaneers last Friday night at the Panorama Recreation Centre.

Panthers still searching for first win of the seasonDevon MacKenzieNews staff

The Peninsula Pan-thers are still in search of their first win of the 2014/15 VIJHL sea-son after they were bounced 3-1 by the Vic-toria Cougars last Fri-day night in yet another close game that just refused to go their way.

After a scoreless 1st period, the Cougars’ Sam McMullen scored a pair of markers to give the visitors a 2-0 lead after 40 minutes of play.

Rookie Mitchell Newman then scored his first goal in Junior Hockey when he

opened the scoring for the Panthers at the 1:10 mark of the third period to bring the club within a marker.

A costly turnover five minutes later allowed the Cougars’ Howard Howden to pop one past Panthers’ starter Jacob Krupp, and that was the end of scoring for the evening.

Krupp stopped 31 of 34 shots directed his way while the Cougars’ Grant Payne stopped 20 of 21. The three stars in the game were McMullen, Krupp and Newman.

“I know our guys are frustrated and fight-

ing it a bit right now,” said Pan-thers’ Assistant Coach Rob Mor-tin, “but we have to continue to battle and I know that when we win one, we will start to win games. We all feel it, we just have to make it happen.”

The Panthers are back at home at the Panorama Recreation Centre Friday night when the Club hosts the visiting Kerry Park Islanders.

The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m.

As in Europe, the track season carries on into September for Peninsula Track’s older athletes who competed in this year’s B.C. Seniors Games in Langley Sept. 9 to 13.

The excellent early fall weather enabled them to reap a whole crop of gold and silver medals.

Leading the way was Les East (M75), whose six gold and two silver medals also included three new games records.

His 1.25m in the High Jump was 10cm better that the pre-vious mark, while his Discus throw (31.47m) and his Hammer toss (32.72m) were both new in the books.

He also topped the podium in the Triple Jump (6.93m), Javelin (25.16m) and the Throws Pen-tathlon, while placing 2nd in the Shot (8.95) and Weight Throw (11.98m).

Also bringing home six gold medals was Myrtle Acton. She placed 1st in all her events which included the Javelin, a record 13.85 throw, Discus (16.38m), Hammer (18.90m), Shot (7.14m), Weight (7.93m) and Throws Pentathlon, also a new 3600pts record.

In this event, her throws in the Discus (17.85m) and Ham-mer (20.38m) were also games records, bettering the marks she had set previously.

Peggy Morfitt (W75) garnered three gold medals for herself, with wins in the Hammer Throw,

a PB of 18.33m, Weight Throw (6.02m), and the Weight Pentath-lon (points total not available).

Peter Auvinen (M65) gained a silver medal with his 30.14s run in the 200m, but missed out on a bronze twice, both by 1cm, in Javelin (29.81m) and Weight Throw (11.89m).

At the same time, down in Costa Rica, Anne Murfitt (W55) was collecting international rewards at the North and South American and Caribbean Mas-ters Championships.

She was crowned Champion with her gold medal throw in the Hammer event (18.76m), and added two bronzes in the Javelin (17.04m) and the Discus (16.20m).
