Sandra Scarth of Brentwood Bay a proponent of child welfare throughout CanadaTim CollinsNews contributor
Her curriculum vitae is as impressive as any you might imagine where the care of and for children is concerned.
Sandra Scarth, a Brentwood Bay resident, has worked as a social worker and service provider in
three provinces and was responsible for program development as the Director of Children’s Services in Ontario.
Scarth was named a member of the Order of Canada on July 1. Recip-ients will be invited to a special ceremony to receive the honour at a later date.
Scarth, the found-ing executive director of the Child Welfare League of Canada, also represented Canada at the Hague Conference
on Inter-Country Adoption.“I’m very proud of the work we did at the Hague,”
she said. “At the time, children were being bought and sold like commodities. There was a lot of fraud ... it was just awful.”

Charles Elliott examines his totem pole at the entrance to Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Four totem poles were raised Monday, celebrating the link between culture and health care.
Totem poles welcome patientsJim ZeebenNews staff
One by one, the totem poles took their place at the entrance to Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Each with its own story and all four welcoming people into the hospital and onto traditional terri-tory of WSÁNEC First Nations.
Among the carvers, there is another story of art that continues to be passed on from one generation to the next.
On Monday, a private ceremony was held to raise the four totem poles and celebrate the connection between cul-ture and health care.
The first pole in line was created by Doug LaFortune, who started carving in 1972. A member of the Tsawout First Nation, LaFortune learned the art under Simon Charlie, a master carver from Cowichan whose work includes the giant welcoming figure at the Royal B.C. Museum.
LaFortune now teaches his own son, Doug “Bear” LaFortune Jr. They worked together on the pole, which depicts a blue heron above a group of playful otters.
“I wanted something that wasn’t dis-mal, something that would make people happy,” LaFortune said. The pole is the only one that isn’t painted.

If all goes according to plan, two Viking Air Twin Otter aircraft will arrive in Yellowknife today (July 8), part of a 17-day journey through Canada’s north to mark the 50th anniversary of the aircraft model.
On July 2, Viking Air employees and owner Sherry Brydson gath-ered at Pacific Sky Avi-ation at the Victoria International Airport to officially send a Viking Air Series 400 Twin Otter (nicknamed Viki) and an older model built by de Havilland (nicknamed Olivia, dat-ing back to the late 1950s), accompanied by a King Air passenger plane, on their tour of the Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nuna-vut.
“The 50th anniver-sary celebration tour is a way for us to pay tribute to the Canadian north and thank the valued pilots, passen-gers, owners, opera-tors, mechanics and engineers who have
contributed to the Twin Otter’s success,” Bryd-son said.
David Curtis, CEO of Viking Air, said the aircraft model played a vital role in opening up the Canadian north. Because of its versatil-ity and longevity, Cur-tis said the Twin Otter, like the Chipmunk and Beaver aircraft before it, provided a vital link for people living in the north.
“It was such an inte-gral part of opening up the north,” he said.
Curtis said the tour plans to meet with Twin Otter enthusiasts and visit 13 different northern communi-ties and military bases over their two-and-a-half week flying tour.
He added they will be accompanied by a documentary film crew — and a wing rib des-tined for Viking Air’s 100th new Twin Otter aircraft. He said they hope to get as many people to sign it as they can, after which it will be returned to North Saanich and put into their 100th production
model, due off the pro-duction line in 2016.
The trip will also serve to document people’s stories of the aircraft and its role in the north.
The send-off event on July 2 included a few people who have worked with the origi-nal Twin Otter, pro-duced by de Havilland before Viking Air took over production. Viking has manufactured their new model Twin Otters for 27 countries world-wide.
Keith Flett was a Master Corporal in the Royal Canadian Air Force and was a mechanic who worked on the Twin Otter while stationed in India and Pakistan in the early 1970s. He had high praise for the aircraft model, saying it never failed him and the crews who flew it dur-ing his time there.
Major (Ret.) Al Mor-nan of Courtenay flew the first Twin Otters for the military while he was in India and Pakistan on a United Nations observation
mission. He said as a young Lietenant, he was given seven to nine hours flying the aircraft during training, “and then you were experts.”
“It was a wonder-fully comfortable air-craft,” Mornan said.
“You really felt like you were a part of it. It was very basic, the ones we flew, but they were very capable aircraft.”
The tour of the north is expected to end July 17 in Norman Wells, NWT.

Later, Scarth became a board member for Justice for Children and Youth in Toronto, The Canadian Coalition on the Rights of Children in Ottawa, and the Soci-ety for Children and Youth of B.C.
She also co-chaired the B.C. Task Force on Safeguards for Chil-dren and Youth in Fos-ter and Group Home Care; chaired the Advisory Committee for the Canadian Inci-dence Study on Child Maltreatment, among many other roles and tasks.
But behind all these achievements there has always been a fun-damental belief that children deserve fami-lies.
“I started out work-
ing at a ‘training school for young girls ... a girls correctional training centre ... as a recreation worker,” said Scarth. “The place was a very jail-like environment and it just wasn’t right. These were smart and lovely little kids and they deserved better. That’s when I decided I would go into social work and try to make a difference.”
Scarth saw early on that the real difference would come when chil-dren were made a part of a family.
“It’s always been my main focus. There are just too many children who never get out of foster care. Too many of them end up quite rootless ... no real fam-ily ... nowhere to go for Christmas ... you get the idea”
Scarth said that there is a litany of prob-lems associated with children who are not raised as part of a fam-ily home.
“These are children who, for example, grad-uate less often and set the stage for the kind of life that follows a lack of education.”
Of particular con-cern for Scarth is the overrepresentation of aboriginal children
within the child welfare system.
“There are far too many (aboriginal chil-dren) in the system. They represent only nine per cent of the population in Canada, but are over 50 per cent of the children in the system.”
Scarth said that this overrepresentation is due to a complex web of problems within the country’s aboriginal
communities. “It’s a matter of pov-
erty and a lack of sup-port for these commu-nities. There is a his-tory of low educational opportunities and achievement ... there are big issues and we need to work together to solve them. But in the meantime, we need to care for these chil-dren.”
Scarth is the mother of four children, two of
whom she adopted as older children.
According to Rev. Rob Zoe, who presides over Scarth’s parish church, Scarth repre-sents the best of human characteristics.
“She has this uncanny ability to get along with people,” he said. “And when she says that she’s going to do something, you can be sure that she’s going to do it.”
Most of all, Zoe said, it is Scarth’s sense of humour and ability to see the best in every person and situation that sets her apart.
Scarth is self dep-recating about Zoe’s assessment.
“It’s not that spe-cial,” she laughed. “I’ve always found that you need to laugh, or life can be pretty difficult.”

Complex web of problems contribute to aboriginal children in the system
“I love the cedar — it speaks for itself. Cedar is beautiful, why cover it up?”
His son said he’s had a passion for carving for as long as he can remember.
“Watching my dad carve poles that were (being shipped) all around the world was pretty impressive,” said Bear, about some of the work commissioned from as far away as Germany and Japan.
“To have our indigenous com-munities represented in front of the hospital is very important,” Bear said. “It raises awareness of traditional culture and welcomes people to our traditional lands.”
Tsartlip First Nation carver
Charles Elliott also worked with his son on one of the poles, which is symbolically rooted to the ground. From the front, there is what looks like a single frog but from the side it morphs into two creatures facing each other.
“The frog is really important in Salish culture,” Elliott explains.
His son, 19-year-old Chas, carved the base as part of his ongoing apprenticeship.
The second animal on the pole is the orca. “Extremely intelligent, awesomely strong creature from the ocean,” Elliott said, adding the animals have a reputation for protecting family, caring for their young and being exceptional hunt-ers. “First Nations have the great-est respect for them.”
Next up is a man holding a drum and singing. His song is meant to soothe patients and welcome visi-tors. A kingfisher perches at the very top, announcing new arrivals as the real bird does in the wild.
The idea for the totem poles came from a letter that local First Nation chiefs sent to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation. The Board of Directors agreed to partner with the First Nations Health Authority, as well as Pen-insula Co-op and Island Health. Western Forest Products donated the old growth red cedar needed to make the poles. All in all, the entire project was budgeted at $120,000 and took about one year to come together.
“I think it’s important that the
traditional territory of the West Saanich people be recognized,” said Jane Fox, aboriginal liaison nurse at Saanich Peninsula Hos-pital.
In her work, she has spoken to aboriginal patients who try to avoid the hospital because it feels foreign. Now that there are power-ful symbols of First Nations cul-ture on the front lawn, the hope is that the grounds will be more welcoming.
“And therefore improve out-comes for First Nations people.”
The other two poles were by Pauquachin artist Mark Henry, and Tseycum artist James Jimmy, who chose to tell an ancient story that still has a presence in his community today.
Jimmy’s pole depicts a mes-senger with open arms who, leg-end has it, was once charged with delivering news between his peo-ple’s villages. At his feet is a pet wolf.
“One time he had to swim out to Salt Spring but his pet wolf stayed on the beach,” Jimmy recounts. “The creator wasn’t happy he didn’t follow so he turned (the wolf) to stone.”
Today, a rock resembling a wolf can still be seen at the foot of Land’s End Road.
“I wanted to carve something connected to Tseycum,” said Jimmy, who is also an apprentice of Elliott’s. “It’s very important to let people know whose territory they’re in.”

What Colon Cancer Taught Me About DentistryVery recently on a routine hygiene and dental examination visit a patient told me of his recent surgery for colon cancer. You might think this would have been a somber moment but instead this cancer survivor was enthusiastic about what had happened to him. It turns out that via a routine examination with his doctor they discussed getting a gFOBT or FIT --simple and easy screening tests done with a take home kit. Keep in mind this man had no pains or aches etc. suggesting the need for this test, but as the Canadian Cancer Society suggests, after age 50 this test should be done every 2 years. Turns out he had Colon Cancer. Cancer without any symptoms! Since his diagnosis he has convinced others to take the test and 4 others also had colon cancer! I’ve
since learned colorectal cancer is the 2nd leading cause of cancer death in Canadians and if 80% of Canadians aged 50+ were screened over the next 10 years, an estimated 10,000 deaths could be prevented. Wow.
Learning about Colon Cancer has lessons for us all: 1. Disease often has no obvious signs or symptoms, 2. Early detection of disease saves lives, more invasive tests, and procedures. 3. Disease is easier to treat in its early stages when there is no obvious pain. All of this is just as true for your Oral Health. A simple routine set of x-rays with an exam can find oral disease early and save your teeth from abscesses or removal. I always screen for signs of oral cancer and sadly have found it. Because problems with your mouth often happen without siren-like warnings, I stand behind the recommendation for a yearly examination for all Canadians. An ounce of prevention is truly worth a pound of cure.For more expert advice visit sidneydental.ca For a complementary consultation, with your friendly treatment coordinator, call Connie at 250-656-1841.

OUR VIEW
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau came to Vancouver last week to unveil his environmental
platform for the Oct. 19 federal election.
Trudeau promised an overhaul of the National Energy Board and a vaguely defined intention to work with provinces to impose a price on carbon dioxide emissions across the country.
Trudeau’s media tour took him to the Burnaby facilities of General Fusion, where, like Premier Christy Clark a few weeks before, he stood at his podium before a prototype fusion reactor. This massive octopus of pistons and wires is an attempt to capture the nuclear reaction that powers the Sun and other stars, containing its fury within steel walls and magnetic fields.
The old joke about controlled fusion is that every 20 years, scientists tell us it’s just 20 years away. If it ever is developed, such a process could quickly put an end to our hand-wringing about fossil fuels, largely replacing them with endless, emission-free energy.
This is the type of technological revolution that Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s officials indicated would be needed, after Canada announced a pledge with other G7 leaders to make their economies carbon-free by 2100. That’s right,
some time within the next 85 years.Clark visited General Fusion in
May to announce her new climate action advisory panel, which has to give her a plan to take to Paris next December. That’s the next big United Nations climate summit, where Trudeau hopes to lead a delegation of premiers to stop the flow of “fossil
awards” given to Canada by people in polar bear suits.
Asked about the fusion reactor she had just toured, Clark laughed off the question, comparing it to the “flux capacitor” used for time travel in the Michael J. Fox movie Back to the Future.
Trudeau recently told university students that we need to change our concepts of time and
space, and he didn’t seem to be kidding.
The point here for voters is that all these leaders, Harper, Trudeau, Clark and many others, are talking down to you. You aren’t sophisticated enough to understand this climate business.
The Pope has weighed in, assuring us that carbon trading systems are not going to cut it. This is a rebuke to California, Quebec and the European Union, where effective carbon trading is, like controlled fusion, just around the corner.
Pope Francis warned that our “throwaway culture” views nature
“solely as a source of profit and gain” and so people won’t voluntarily do the right thing. (The results of the Metro Vancouver transit plebiscite could be interpreted this way, if you ignore the bumbling, waste and political posturing that really did it in.)
The Pope concludes that there is “an urgent need” for a “true world political authority” to impose order on the greedy capitalist humans that infest our beautiful planet. Presumably this would be run by the UN, so my advice is to start hoarding candles and cat food now.
B.C.’s frozen carbon tax has ceased to have much effect, with gasoline consumption back up over 2008 levels amid the usual volatility of prices. Gasoline is going for around $1.30 a litre, despite the prolonged slump in crude oil prices, and people have basically forgotten about this tax on top of all the other gas taxes.
Perhaps B.C. can brag in Paris about the Pacific Carbon Trust, which limps along after its near-death experience in 2013.
The trust continues to divert tax dollars from B.C. government operations to purported carbon-saving activities, including paying coastal First Nations not to log the portions of forests that they demanded be preserved.

Let the lawns go brownU
nless there’s a sudden and steady downpour of rain, we’re all going to have to let our lawns turn golden brown — and like it.
There has been a distinct lack of rain on southern Vancouver Island for an extended period of time and there needs to be a sustained few days of it to get us out of water restrictions — and the fishing bans imposed this week by the province on most Island rivers and steams.
A quick look at the long-term forecast in these parts indicates there isn’t going to be much rain, if at all, for the next two weeks.
It’s important then, for local governments to seriously consider strong water restrictions,
especially when it comes to ornamental lawns and other greenery.
Many people love the green, healthy
look of grass in their yard. Yet, in the face of hot temperatures, sustained over longer periods of time, it would be a waste to simply pour water over it in order to keep it looking nice.
There are higher priorities for our water supply, such as food production on the Saanich Peninsula, water to ensure local streams do not warm up or dry out to the point of threatening wildlife. And then there’s ensuring there’s enough water on hand to fight fires.
Those, more than lawns, should take priority.And people are coming around to voluntarily let
their lawns go brown. Yet, people can always do better and learn to embrace that, for certain times of the year, we must conserve water so that our supply will last over extended periods of drought. Such times could very well be getting longer on the Island as climate change forces us to make changes we didn’t think we’d have to make.
While letting lawns go brown should be voluntary and common sense in hot, dry periods, it will be up to local municipalities to enforce such restrictions. Hopefully, when more people get on board, governments will find the heavy hand is, more often than not, not necessary.
There are higher priorities for our water supply

Get on board with pickleball
Reading the July 3 article regarding the lack of outdoor pickleball facilities on the Pen-insula, one might think painting lines on existing courts to be a crazy idea.
Well, Saanich, Victoria, Oak Bay and Metchosin don’t think it’s crazy to save money, because all of them have painted pickleball lines on exist-ing courts. Why not use existing facilities to the fullest before committing large scale funding to more?
I invite the naysayers to visit McMinn Park in Saanich, Oaklands Park in Victoria or Carnarvon Park in Oak Bay — there they will find tennis and pickleball co-existing very well thank you.
Come on Sidney (and Cen-tral Saanich), get on board, it’s cheap and will fill those courts.

Sidney’s July 1 parade was wonderful
Sidney’s July 1 parade this year was as colourful and enjoy-able as ever and took exactly one hour. It was perfect timing because many people had been standing. Also, the many young children were getting restless and hungry by 12:30.
The crowd was most enthusi-astic, including many residents of Resthaven Drive who got a preview from their driveways, lawns and boulevards long before the official start on Bea-con.
I enjoyed watching the crowd as much as the parade itself. Everyone was excited, cheering, clapping and joining in some
of songs. When even seated people jumped to attention to sing O Canada. I joined in and felt proud to be a part of this country.
Although the floats, bands and other entries were attrac-tive and the result of much preparation, the many pre-schoolers near me were most impressed by individual dis-plays such as clowns, dancers, acrobats and even Snow White, who took time to stop and speak to children. But best of all, in their eyes, seemed to be the endless bubbles created by marchers and blown towards the back of the parade by a slight breeze. Children squealed with delight whenever one landed near them.
The only sad-looking face was on the British Empire float, dis-playing a Queen Victoria who was “not amused.”

Solution to a problem that doesn’t exist
Finally, we have a parking study. After paying my taxes today I was hoping that a good deal of those funds would be used to determine if we have parking in Sidney, where it is and what’s to be done.
Having only a 2007 study and a recent update what are we to do? Perhaps we should fund a special committee to study parking for a few more years as, apparently, council can’t be troubled enough to actu-ally count the spaces and find a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.
We pay our politicians to administer, make decisions and enact policy, not hire experts.

End the injusticeRe: PNR June 12 article with
John Horgan.Mr. Horgan mentioned the
shortcomings of the B.C. medi-cal system. He failed to men-tion the compulsory payment of medical exams for seniors over 80 taking the Drive Able B.C. test. Seniors are the most discriminated-against group in our country. We are constantly depicted as being senile and foolish and if we dare complain, we are subject to abuse. Yet, we are the most law-abiding and responsible group in our society.
Most of us spent years in the labour force, raised a genera-tion of children and some have raised their grandchildren. I think it’s about time our so-called Official Opposition did its job and put an end to injustice.

• On June 24, RCMP responded to the Tsawout Reserve to a report that a male was being violent inside a residence. Police located the male slamming his head on a table and
yelling unintelligible speech. The male then threatened police, however, he was taken into custody without incident and subse-quently transported to hospital. No charges
will be recommended. The male was believed to be under the influ-ence of drugs and alcohol.
• On June 25 at
9:40 a.m., RCMP
responded to a two-vehicle motor vehicle accident at the cor-ner of Resthaven and Calvin streets. A Mercedes travelling north on Resthaven rear-ended a half-ton truck stopped at a pedestrian crosswalk. The passenger of the Mercedes was trans-
ported to hospital with minor injuries. The driver of the Mercedes was charged with fol-lowing too closely and driving contrary to restrictions.
• On June 25 at
5:25 p.m., police attended a three-vehicle accident on Fifth Street south of Beacon Avenue. The driver of a south bound Toyota was blinded by the sun and veered right, unin-tentionally colliding
with a parked, unoc-cupied Volkwagen Jetta — which subse-quently struck a Hyun-dai Accent parked in front of it.
• On June 27,
RCMP responded to a report of multiple windows shattered at the homes under construction in Hum-mingbird Village on the Tsawout Reserve. No suspects have yet been identified.

VisionMattersHealthy Eyes.Doctor Delivered.
Sunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also � lter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful.
UV is thought to be mostly absorbed at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition.
However, UV exposure is also a risk factor for increasing the formation of cataracts and the development of macular degeneration.
Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. Blocking UV light does not have to be dif� cult or expensive.
Even a basic pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of some premium products lies in the quality of their optics and the ability to enhance the vision of the wearer.
To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

THE ARTSDevon MacKenzieNews contributor
When Cindy Lister and Kathryn Calder met almost a year ago, a common connection brought the two of them together — Amyo-trophic Lateral Sclerosis, or ALS.
Both Lister and Calder lost parents to the disease; Lister her father and Calder her mother.
“It really was one of those instances where we had this in common, and we connected on a higher level because of it,” said Lister.
Lister, a teacher at Keating Ele-mentary and the founding force behind the ALS Cycle of Hope, explained that her and Calder, a well-known indie rock musician in Victoria, decided they wanted to pool their resources to hold an event which would raise both funds and awareness for ALS. It wasn’t until they got to chatting they realized they had an even deeper connection.
“We realized after a while that (Calder’s) father had taught at Keating Elementary School for many years, and that I had actu-ally taught with him when I first started,” laughed Lister, adding that’s where the inspiration to
start a student choir came from.“We got to talking and we came
up with this idea to put on a con-cert with Kathryn, Daniel Lapp and the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra, and students from Keating in a choir,” explained Lister.
On March 30, Lister, Calder and the students began meeting once a week with teachers Jennifer Nicholson and Chris Bocking to learn some of Calder’s songs.
“The commitment from the students and the teachers was
absolutely amazing,” said Lister. “We ended up with 75 students who committed to the choir, and each and every Monday, every single student showed up. No one missed a single practice and everyone was so enthusiastic
about what we were doing.”After weeks of practicing, the
students and Calder took the stage on June 17 for a special, sold-out show at Victoria’s Alix Goolden Hall that benefitted the Victoria Hospitals Foundation ($3,553.16 was raised that night) and increased awareness for the The ALS Cycle of Hope.
“It was an unbelievable night,” said Lister. “It was so beautiful and the hall was completely packed. It was a very emotional experience.”
Calder agreed.“I was talking to a family friend
of mine [the other day], and I was saying that one of the things that was really meaningful for me personally was that I felt I got the chance to honour my dad’s memory as well as my mother’s,” Calder explained.
“I feel like my mother’s illness was such an extreme experience that I feel like my dad sometimes takes the back seat when I’m talk-ing about my music. He was also an enormous part of my musical life, so for me, it was incredibly special that [I had] the opportu-nity to be involved in the Keating Elementary School community.”

Leading up to the 2015 Bed Races on Beacon event on Sunday, Aug. 16, The Peninsula
News Review and Rest Haven Foun-dation will present bed race team profiles — a little bit of team spirit and even some trash talk leading up to the big day.
That ‘70s Team
Bayshore Home Health enters the 100.3 The Q’s Bed Races on Beacon as That 70’s Team.
“Bayshore has a long history of fundraising for palliative care across the country, so the Bed Races on Beacon are a great fit with our national goals for community sup-port and for me personally to give something back. I attended last year’s Bed Races on Beacon and it
was a great experience all around. We’re looking forward to putting our feet on the ground this time around,” says Stasia Hartley, Area Director Vancouver Island.

The twilight-like con-ditions created earlier this week by forest fires burning across the province posed a potential health threat to seniors and others sensitive to the effects of smoke.
“Generally speak-ing, we have very good air quality here so it’s a huge change for us,” said Dr. Dee Hoyano, medical health officer for Island Health. “Ide-ally, people are taking steps to keep them-selves healthy.”
The pervasive haze was the result of smoke from fires burn-ing across B.C. and the northwestern U.S. being slowly blown toward the Pacific. On Sunday, the air qual-ity decreased enough that an advisory was issued at 5:51 p.m. The air quality improved by Monday and the fore-cast called for the haze to clear by mid-week.
The advisory urged people with heart or lung conditions to use common sense when exercising outdoors. The advisory also noted that, even indoors, lev-els of smoke particles will be higher than nor-mal so it’s important to monitor symptoms.
“For Vancouver Island, particularly the South Island, it’s very unusual to get (these conditions),” Hoyano said, explain-ing the advisory was a reminder for anyone with respiratory sensi-tivities to take respon-sibility for their health.
“People need to be
aware that air quality is poorer than usual and monitor their symp-toms.”
As of Monday, Hoy-ano didn’t know if the conditions were specifi-cally linked to any hos-pital visits across the Island.
On the Saanich Pen-insula, Sidney Senior
Care CEO Shauna Dorko said none of the 500 seniors in her company’s private care reported being affected by the haze.
Heat has been the bigger concern this summer, she said, not-ing staff have been focused on keeping cli-ents hydrated and cool.
Hoyano said the haze is also a reminder that the hot, dry weather has created an extremely high risk for fires of all sorts. She urged people to exer-cise extra caution with cigarettes and anything that could spark a flame in the tinder-dry conditions.
At Victoria Interna-tional Airport, vice-
president of opera-tions and develop-ment, James Bogusz, said the smoke did not cause any problems for flights.

SIDNEY — Sidney SHOAL Portrait Painters (SSPP) are at it again. Last summer was the first year SSPP showed their work as a collective.
This year the group is showing their work at Serious Coffee, 2417 Beacon Ave., in Sidney for the month of July.
SSPP, a drop-in group of more than 50 people with no instruction, has been together for more than two years, meeting every Wednesday after-noon from 1 to 4 p.m. at the SHOAL Centre. The group enjoys the camaraderie of making art and supporting each other through the process of cap-turing a portraiture, one of the most difficult sub-jects in art.
In January the group hosted a workshop on por-trait drawing, instructed by well known Victoria portrait artist, Noah Layne.

A ladybug rests on a roadside plant as smoke from forest fires causes a haze over Central Saanich hills.
Tips to reduce health risks:• Use common sense regarding out-
door physical activity – if your breathing becomes difficult or uncomfortable, stop or reduce the activity.
• Stay cool and drink plenty of fluids. • Keep in mind many air conditioning
systems do not filter the air or improve indoor air quality.
• Residents with asthma or other chronic illness should activate their asthma or personal care plan.
• Commercially available HEPA filters can further reduce poor indoor air quality.

What a surprise to wake this morning to a com-pletely different kind of day ... no blue skies, no sunshine, no sweltering
heat. Instead, clouds and a cool breeze. Do you suppose we’re going to get that much-needed rain?
My mistake, those aren’t clouds. It’s smoke from forest fires. This is terrible. One of our major industries is logging and these trees being uselessly burned will put many people out of work, destroy our magnificent forests, ter-rify hundreds who may live within its firey path and make us gasp for a breath of fresh air.
We need rain, lots of it, and soon.Although these particular fires are many miles
away you can actually smell smoke. It’s all such a terrible waste of trees. Many fires have been caused by some careless smoker who tossed a still live butt out a car window. Some people still don’t realize what damage they can cause. It’s all too easy when you just don’t think (or care) about the consequences of a simple stupid act.
That is my rant for today.Sunday is a great day for me.I go out to breakfast
with lovely friends who not only put up with me, but a man who is also alone. The “Ms” have done this for years and the world needs more people like them.
I need to do something nice for some-one else now. I think it’s called “paying it forward.”
Maybe I could combine that and gar-dening, give someone a bouquet of pan-sies to brighten their day.
I well recall a similar bouquet of pan-sies from Ingrid’s small balcony garden. It was such a lovely gesture. I realized she had probably picked every pansy in bloom to make a dear small posy for me. Somethng like that means as much as a large bouquet of red roses to me. It’s not the size, nor cost of the gift, it’s the thought behind it that means so much.
Maybe do something nice for some-one: a phonecall to someone you used to know, and like, who will be absolutely floored to hear from you. It’s absolutely wonderful. It puts a smile on your face, roses in your cheeks, a sparkle in your eyes and is amazingly inexpensive. I’m going to do the same right now!
Of course there is always the chance that your former dear friend will keep saying, “Who did you say you were? I’m sorry I don’t recall your name. What did you say you’re selling?” and hangs up.
Oh well, it is worth a try. On the other hand he/she may faint, and it’ll be
all my fault! I’ll let you know what happened next week.

This fall the group hopes to host another workshop, painting the portrait, with the esteemed Victoria por-trait artist David Goatley.
SSPP is proud to be showing their work as a collective focusing on por-traiture. The styles vary from artist to artist as do the models. The show is an interesting blend of
artistic variety, showcas-ing portraiture — the landscape of society.
Sidney SHOAL Portrait Painters will begin again in the fall, Sept. 9.

Sunday’s referendum in Greece sent shock-waves across Europe,
with the impact of the vote even being felt by the Greek community here in Victoria.
“There is not much that we can do, a lot of
things are developing. Everybody is waiting. They are getting into new territory every day,” said Michael Ikon-omou, president of the
Victoria and Vancou-ver Island Greek Com-munity, adding many are confused, with the uncertainty surround-ing Greece’s future
being the most difficult part to deal with.
“There’s so many changes on a daily basis. People are pretty much numb, they don’t
know what to expect, what to do. It’s some-thing that never hap-pened before,” said Ikonomou, who speaks with family back in Greece on a daily basis.
Greeks voted 61 per cent on Sunday to reject a bailout deal proposed by interna-tional creditors who had demanded new austerity measures in return for emergency funds.
The referendum garnered a turnout of more than 60 per cent of Greek residents, who have been struggling with austerity mea-sures since 2010.
“Personally, I don’t think there’s a differ-
ence whether it was a yes or a no, it’s just something that had to happen. I don’t see this as being the catalyst for what is to come,” said Ikonomou.
Ikonomou is opti-mistic about what the future holds for Greece and believes the coun-try will remain in the European Union.
“This referendum was not about staying in the union or getting out of the union, noth-ing to do with that. It was whether or not they accept the terms [of a financial bailout] or they want to renego-tiate.”

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, July 8, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview • A15
Steven HeywoodNews staff
Lawn bowling clubs across B.C. are build-ing for the future and hoping to attract more young people into the fold.
This summer, the Sid-ney Lawn Bowling Club hopes to gives its fledg-ling program a boost by hosting the Bowls B.C. Juniors Provincial Tour-nament July 17 to 19.
“Sidney started its juniors program one year ago,” said Ron Smith, club past-president. He’s also in charge of advertising for the tournament.
“We started it to help promote the sport. We held school visits but up until this year, it has been hard to attract younger bowlers on a regular basis.”
This year, he contin-ued, three youth have been showing dedica-tion to the sport and have been attending regular play days and club events.
“They are still learn-ing the sport, but they show a lot of promise,” Smith said.
All three will be par-ticipating in the provin-cial event this month, adds John Little, one of the Sidney Club’s tour-nament co-chairs.
The event will attract an estimated 16 to 20 competitors from across B.C. — a small group, but it’s growing, Little said. Players have until July 12 to sign up and he says it’s open
to any junior (someone under the age of 18) who is registered with Bowls B.C.
Sidney was awarded the provincials back in November 2014, after Smith and other club members wrote a letter to Bowls B.C., asking if they could bring the event to the Island.
“It’s the first time it’s been back here in a very long time,” said Smith.
The tournament has typically been held in Kelowna, added Little. Organizers here are basically starting from scratch, he continued, with direction from Bowls B.C.
The real work brin-ing the event together
this month, Smith said, started this spring. Over the winter, many club members are away. Now that they’re back, they are using as many willing people as they can to pull it all together.
There will be an opening ceremony on the Friday, July 17. Par-ticipants and dignitar-ies will march in at 10 a.m. to the music of a piper. Following a few speeches, match play will start at around 11 a.m.
Little said all of the games will be singles matches, as each player faces the other over the three-day event. There are no player rankings going into the provin-
cials, but there will be at its conclusion. The top seeds will advance to the national junior lawn bowling champi-onships, scheduled for Saskatchewan in Sep-tember.
Spectators are wel-come to come out and watch the matches, which are expected to wrap up early on Sun-day with the champion-ship rounds, followed by a closing ceremony.
The Sidney Lawn Bowling Club is located at 9580 5th Street, south of Iroquois Park, across from the boat ramp and behind the Sidney Lions Food Bank build-ing.
For event details, call 250-655-3997.

DININGLocal experience Peninsula’s favourite restaurant hot spots
Casual and friendly, as every good � sh n’ chip shop should be! Our Booktown eatery is a favorite with locals and visitors alike. You have a few options here – salmon, cod, haddock or halibut, fried, grilled or gluten free. Maybe you’d prefer prawns, oysters, calamari or popcorn shrimp. Get good old fashioned chips, or fantastic yam fries. Also, in the mix we have our house made seafood chowder! Or skip seafood all together and go for
a burger, homemade chicken strips, a wrap or a big salad with lots of healthy ingredients. There are many choices here, but whatever you select is sure to be fresh and satisfying! Dine in, take-out, or simply enjoy our Patio! Excellent food and great staff!! Proud � nalist in the Readers Choice Awards for your Favourite Seafood in town and Favourite Take-out - Food to Go!
