Joseph Boutilier is setting out to make a difference this spring and summer in a unique way.

The 23-year-old from Victoria sets out this Saturday, April 5 on an endeavour called Unity for the Cli-mate, a 5,000 km unicycle ride from Victoria to Ottawa to raise awareness for climate-related issues across Can-ada.

“Climate change is an all encompass-ing issue that touches everyone,” Boutilier said in an interview with the News Review.

“I want to create awareness around cli-mate action.

“Our government’s priorities aren’t where they should be and with the federal elec-tion coming up next year we need some clear goals and commitments from political leaders regarding our environment and sus-tainability.”

The ride will take Boutilier about five months and will culminate in Ottawa in September. Along the way he will stop in communities where he will meet with citizens and local gov-ernment officials.

“The unicycle is a great conversa-tion starter,” laughed Boutilier, add-ing that he hopes his unique mode of transportation will open dialogue with people he meets along the way.”

Boutilier said people are calling him an environmentalist.

“I don’t think I deserve that distinc-

tion. I’m just concerned about climate change.

“I want to get the conversation going and unite people to rally for change in our environmental policies. I don’t think many people realize how grave the outcome of climate change will be, even over the next three to five years, let alone decades from now.”

Boutilier also added he wants to use the ride as a way to inspire

and encourage other young people to get involved.

“I do feel there is a sense of apathy among the younger generation. We need more young people to get involved, vote and make climate change a bigger issue,” said Boutilier.

Saanich North and the Islands NDP MLA Gary Holman said

activism like Boutilier’s is inspiring.“Right now we’re not doing enough

to address climate change but I’m so impressed with young people like Joseph stepping up,” said Holman.

“The province of B.C. is ahead, but we’re [all] still behind,” continued Holman

Boutilier will start his journey on Saturday from Mile 0 in James Bay. A sendoff celebration at Beacon Park in Sidney will take place from 11 a.m. to noon that day and will include live music.

In the alleyway behind the Royal Bank on Douglas and Fort Street, Victoria’s residents of the 80’s learned that Souvlaki and Spanakopita could be addictive, and they loved it. The delicious Greek specialties were created by the Vassiliadis family then… and still are today.

The founder of Eugene’s Greek Restaurant, Evgeni (Eugene) Vassiliadis arrived in Victoria from his home in the bustling city of Piraeus (port of Athens) with wife Paschalina (Lina) and two young sons, Elefterios (Terry) and Pantelis (Lee) in November 1974. Only nine-year old Terry understood English and was able to help other family members to settle in.

From the very beginning Eugene had a vision to open a traditional Greek Souvlaki Snack Bar in Victoria. However, having arrived in Victoria with only 2 suitcases and a trunk, Eugene began working as a brick-layer, his trade in Greece, in order to support his young family.

To supplement the family’s income, Eugene began working in local Greek restaurants by night and took what construction jobs he could during the day. He quickly became head chef of a local Greek Restaurant and soon Lina—an excellent cook herself—joined him. They worked side-by-side until Eugene got a great

job offer in Edmonton and for a year he worked there, returning to see the family only once a month.

Eventually, the family decided Victoria was the place for them. Lina, encouraging Eugene to open a souvlaki snack bar, found their � rst location in the alleyway of the Royal Bank on Douglas and Fort Street. They opened their doors November 24, 1979. Victorians slowly came

to know how wonderful Greek souvlaki could be. With lines getting longer and longer, a second Eugene’s opened in May 1986 at 1280 Broad Street.

Today, Terry and partner Pam own and operate the Fort & Foul bay location and Terry’s boys (Evan and Alex), can sometimes be seen carrying

on the family tradition making souvlaki. Lee owns and operates Eugene’s warehouse and concentrates his energy on food production and wholesale sales. Lee’s wife Kelly and 6yr old son Evgeni also spend time at the warehouse learning the ins and outs of producing the best Greek food in Victoria. Eugene and Lina oversee from the background while enjoying their retirement, and customers of Victoria continue to enjoy the same wonderful home-made recipes that Eugene and Lina � rst served in 1979.

VICTORIA — The Agricultural Land Reserve is being divided into two zones, with regula-tions to come to allow non-farm home-based businesses outside the southwest regions of high productivity.

The changes affect three of the six regional panels of the Agri-cultural Land Commission, for the Interior, Kootenay and North regions. Details will be worked out in consultation with indus-try and placed in regulations, said Bill Bennett, the cabinet minister in charge of the govern-ment’s core review of programs.

Non-farm uses will not be considered in the Island, South Coast and Okanagan regions, but “value added” activities such as food processing on farmland are being considered across the province, Bennett said.

Bennett and Steve Thomson, acting agriculture minister, reit-erated their assurances that the ALC will continue to operate independently. Commissioners

are appointed by cabinet, two or three per region, and decisions can be appealed to the regional chairs who act as an executive.

Delta South independent MLA Vicki Huntington called the Inte-rior zone change “deceitful and a betrayal of the public trust,” and accused the government of removing its obligation to con-sult with the ALC chair on new panel appointments.

NDP agriculture critic Nico-las Simons was forced by the speaker to withdraw the term “deceitful” from his remarks in the legislature, as he accused Bennett of keeping the changes secret until after last year’s elec-tion.

“The fundamental principle is that the reserve was set up for the entire province, not for zones here and zones there,” Simons said.

Bennett said the only change to the Interior zones is the addi-tion of “social and economic” factors in considering permitted uses. He gave the example from his Kootenay constituency of a market garden operator who

was refused permission to build a second home on an unproduc-tive part of the property so the next generation could take over the business.

Rhonda Driediger, chair of the B.C. Agricultural Council and operator of Driediger Farms in Langley, said she is looking for-ward to the changes that will allow development of new rev-enue.

“The ALC is old and it hasn’t been updated in a long time,” Driediger said. “On a day-to-day basis it makes it very difficult in farming, especially when you’re looking to be progressive.”

Faye Street, general manager of Kootenay Livestock Associa-tion, congratulated the ministers “for having the three Bs in the male anatomy to get this done — starting at the brain, back-bone and work your way down.”

Street said young farmers are not entering the industry under the current conditions, and allowing them supplementary income will help maintain the [email protected]

Facts about “aging” eyesightAs we grow older, the lenses in our eyes tend

to grow stiffer and less fl exible. As this happens, the lens loses some of its ability to focus on near objects. This condition is called presbyopia, and it occurs in all of us – becoming apparent around the age of 40 and progressing as the years go by.

Most of us notice this when we fi nd ourselves holding books or newspapers further and further away – the “trombone” effect. Sooner of later this will go from being annoying to being unacceptable.

The good news is that presbyopia is correctable. In fact, the optometrist today can supply you with more options to correct this problem than ever be-fore. Among the available options are:

Reading glasses: If your distance vision is still good and you only have trouble close up, full or half frame glasses may be the answer.

Bifocals and trifocals: If you need glasses for both distance and close-up, the new generation of bifocal glasses can solve your problem. Modern bifocals are lightweight and attractive, unlike their predecessors. Trifocals have a section for those in-termediate distances, just beyond armslength.

Progressive lenses: A relatively new advance, these are designed to mimic the focusing action of the normal eye. They can provide the advantages of trifocals, but without the lines.

Task specifi c lenses: People in certain profes-sions, occupations and hobbies that require focus at particular distances can benefi t from a variety of specialty lenses designed to meet their require-ments.

In addition, there are contact lenses which can help some people with presbyopia. If you are having trouble seeing close-up, talk to your optometrist.

A few months back, I received a notification which advised me that I had to declare whether

Buckerfields was a producer of printed paper or packaging material. If so, we would have to implement an approved stewardship plan to deal with the material. Otherwise we would have to join another stewardship plan and pay fees to that plan holder. I thought it was a scam. But I looked into it further and determined that there was indeed regu-latory provisions in effect which stated this very thing and according to the regula-tions, Buckerfields is now a producer of printed paper and pack-aging material, with the best example being our Buckerfields feed bags.

I then discussed the alternatives with a Ministry of Environment offi-cial and came to realize we had no choice but to join the only approved stewardship plan in the Province, Multi-Material B.C. We signed the MMBC contract. But we also read it. And it stated MMBC had to file audited financial statements on its web site. I recently went to the web site and there are no audited financial statements.

Now, several months later, I have discovered the following:

• MMBC is a corporation under the Societies Act comprised of three directors, two of which live in Ontario. None of the directors have public sector credentials. All of the directors represent large corporate interests.

• MMBC is not accountable to any

government agency, appointed offi-cial, elected official or any other gov-ernment body other than the Regis-

trar of Companies under the Societies Act

• MMBC is not gov-erned by the Province’s Financial Administration Act which sets out the rules for the administra-tion of all public monies.

• None of the mon-ies collected by MMBC, including the fees Buck-erfields is supposed to pay go to the Public Accounts of the Prov-ince or any other gov-ernment organization.

• MMBC is not subject to oversight by the Auditor General of B.C.

• Under MMBC’s stewardship plan as approved by the Provincial gov-ernment, MMBC has the authority to charge companies like Buckerfields unlimited fees based on whatever MMBC spends, regardless of what the actual costs are to recycle our feed bags and regardless of the fact that we already pay municipal taxes in all eight of our locations.

• MMBC has the authority to come into any municipality in the Prov-ince and offer financial incentives to the locally elected government to do what MMBC wants in the area of waste collection and recycling; if the locally elected government refuses, MMBC has the authority to do what it wants anyway.

• The municipal governments of the province do not know the back-ground of MMBC and don’t yet real-ize the fees that MMBC is charging to

Buckerfields and all the other compa-nies amounts to double taxation.

• Municipal governments are going to have to give up that tax base they have for waste collection and recy-cling because the shift to producers paying directly for waste collection and recycling eliminates the need and justification for consumers i.e. property tax payers to pay for these services through the municipalities.

• The Provincial government did not consult with the municipal gov-ernments or the public but compa-nies like Buckerfields are pointing it out because until it is resolved, we are being taxed twice for the same service and residential taxpayers (including me) are being taxed for something that someone else is actu-ally paying for.

• Taxpayers and municipal gov-ernments were not consulted as to whether they really want to shift the financing and control of municipal waste and recycling services out of the municipal jurisdiction, that is , the jurisdiction of democratically elected municipal officials into the hands of a corporation under the Societies Act that is accountable to no one and is outside the jurisdiction of the Provin-cial Auditor General

• Taxpayers and voters are unaware that the fees being charged by MMBC are so onerous that they will cause newspaper closures and job losses of 300-500 in the newspaper indus-try in British Columbia, even though recycled newsprint is actually very valuable.

Lack of accountability mars MMBC

Who will pick up the ball?I

t’s an election year in municipal politics and community leaders will do one of two things: assert themselves on issues of importance to our communities, or hunker down and ride their records to the polls.

The official election period doesn’t really start until after Labour Day but already folks are pondering whether they want to run for office for the first time or run again in November. And there is no shortage of issues on the Saanich Peninsula. Those include affordable housing and agriculture, to the economy and cost of living. These are the main umbrella issues in the community. How local politicians address them leading up to November will set the stage for the next four years.

For Sidney, the well-being of its downtown business area has become a main focal point as new commercial developments loom on the outskirts of town. Business owners are going to want to know what the Town plans to do to help as groups like the Sidney Business Improvement Association and Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce team up to try to improve their lot.

Recent presentations by retail consultant Richard Talbot have raised serious concerns about the impact of these developments on downtown Sidney and he is calling on the mayor’s office to act — to bring about a more competitive Sidney. Unfortunately, Mayor Larry Cross has focused on Talbot’s poor attempt at humour [his comments that body parts be used to stop any construction at the big commercial sites], rather than on his message, and has lobbed the ball back into the hands of business.

Cross has been clear — business owners must take the initiative and the Town has helped pave the way for increased investment through policy.However, anything the business community comes up with to see a change will eventually find its way to the council chamber for approval. It only makes sense for the Town to be on board at the beginning — and knowing how Cross and this council have pushed for a more cohesive representation of local businesses, they will be involved in one form or another.

This issue has legs in Sidney and will find its way into the election campaign debates. Talbot is, in all likelihood, correct to say that whoever can pick up this ball will score big come November.

In finding all this out, I lament the fact that none of this was introduced into the legislature for proper debate because it means that instead of spending my days managing the sale of chicks and garden supplies at Buckerfields, I have to spend my time trying to revive democratic processes in British Columbia retroactively. I find it appalling.

My position as of the time of this writing is this — we ain’t paying a dime to MMBC and neither should anyone else, not until:

• The provincial government reconciles what it is doing with the municipal governments and municipal taxpayers so that taxpayers don’t have to pay twice.

• The provincial government takes back the legislation which calls us producers and blames us for the choices made by manufacturers and indeed consumers that are completely outside of our control.

• Any monies charged under the auspices of the Recyling Regulation are included in the Public Accounts of the Province and subject to the provi-sions of the Financial Administration Act and the Auditor General Act.

• Whatever is going to be done is introduced into the Legislative Assembly in the form of a Bill so that the proper public debate can occur.

• Insofar as MMBC has not filed its audited finan-cial statements since inception, and the period of time not reported spans more than two years, and insofar as MMBC is actually a taxing and funding

agency, there be an independent public enquiry into the financial operations, sources and uses of funds, contractual procedures and expenditures of MMBC.

No, Buckerfields is not paying a dime until this cash and power grab is unraveled and revealed for what it is.

One final word, 96 per cent of all printed paper and packaging material is already being picked up or deposited into municipally-financed facili-ties. Despite what MMBC is saying, at least 53 per cent of that is already being recycled and it is very likely that number was seriously understated to give the government a reason for its MMBC cash and power grab.

In reality, there is no basis for setting up a recy-cling dictatorship and charging punitive fees to companies like Buckerfields at all.

Recycling is a booming business with rapidly increasing prices of marketable commodities. Could that be why the board of MMBC is all big business and outside the jurisdiction of the Audi-tor General?

We don’t have to change a thing to see recycling take off in B.C., in the hands of our elected munici-pal officials. We need to send the MMBC regime to the recycle bin.

LETTERSSidney must lead rather than criticizeMany are worried the

proposed retail devel-opments within a few

kilometers of Sidney will draw consumers away.

They are right to be worried. We do not have to look very far to see a prime example of this. When two popular tourist draws at Port Sidney moved out, the people went elsewhere. Buildings fell into disrepair and remaining businesses began to suffer.

This occurred under pres-ent council’s watch and if they allowed it to happen once they

could again.Richard Talbot, an inter-

nationally known retail and marketing consultant, is con-cerned this scenario will be repeated on a much larger scale if the town, once again, sits idly by and does nothing. As a concerned resident he recently stepped up and offered the town free expert advice, encouraging them to act quickly in the face of this looming retail threat. But, instead of appre-ciating his efforts, the Mayor appears to take this offering as a criticism.

The Mayor’s concern should be more to do with the problem at hand and fostering working relationships with all concerned and less to do with personal sensitivities. Here is an oppor-tunity for the council to demon-strate effective leadership. They must set aside self interests, get off their hands and walk the talk. This council needs to lead our business community into action by demonstrating willing-ness to work together and the sooner the better.

Gypsy Jazz at St. John’s on April 6NORTH SAANICH — The

Cold Cut Combo will bring their gypsy jazz improvisa-tions to Jazz Vespers at St. John’s United Church in Deep Cove on Sunday, April 6 at 7 p.m.

The acoustic trio consists of Christopher Sartisohn on lead guitar, Aaron Watson on rhythm guitar, accordion and vocals and Sean Drabitt on bass. With the Cold Cut Combo’s major inspiration lying in gypsy jazz, flamenco, Parisian musette waltzes, old-time swing, Latin standards and Eastern European folk music, it’s no surprise that the Combo has a decidedly original feel and fires up their

music with their own expres-sive je ne sais quoi, capturing a vitality and freshness that

makes this music contempo-rary once again.

The Combo’s repertoire

features Jazz standards from the greatest composers of the 20th century.

The Jazz Vespers series con-tinues on May 4 with Al Pease and John MacArthur.

Jazz vespers services begin at 7 p.m. at St. John’s United Church (10990 West Saanich Rd., across from Deep Cove School). There is no admis-sion charge. An offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the program.

For further information, call Bernadette at 250-656-0875 or email her at [email protected] to be included on an email list of upcoming concerts.

The Peninsula Pan-thers’ season drew to a close on Friday night as the Victoria Cougars beat the locals out in game six of the Van-couver Island Junior Hockey League finals.

Friday night’s game saw the Panthers slapped with 66 pen-alty minutes in the

third period alone as they struggled to keep up with the Cougars. In

the end, the team fell short and the 3-0 loss wrapped up the best-of-

seven series 4-2 for the Cougars.

“I want to take this opportunity to express our sincere thanks to our fans and spon-sors, many of you who were in attendance last night at game six,” said Panthers owner Pete Zuberksy on Saturday.

“The disappointment for me has already dis-sipated and in its place I look fondly back at a great season that our entire organization enjoyed. Two and a half years ago when we jumped back into the VIJHL to try and bring the Peninsula Panthers back from the brink of folding, we knew the task was going to be daunting. The sense of accomplishment in playing before a packed rink last night is some-thing that everyone in our organization is very proud of.”

The first star of Fri-day night’s game was given to Cougars’ goalie Nathan Hargrave for the shutout. The sec-ond star went to Pan-ther Spencer Loverock and the third to Cou-gars defenceman John Kretzschmar.

With the VIJHL play-off win under their belts, the Victoria Cou-gars will advance to the Cyclone Taylor Cup in Nelson, B.C. beginning April 10.

This is the third con-secutive year the Cou-gars have advanced to the Cyclone Taylor Cup which sees teams from the Kootenay Interna-tional Junior Hockey League, the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League and the Pacific International Junior Hockey League fight for the title of provincial champions.

The last time the Cou-gars won the Cyclone Taylor Cup was the 2006/07 season.
