WHALE FACTS. This photograph, donated to the Sidney
Museum and taken by Paul Commandeur from the
sailboat Gumboo?, is of a Dall’s porpoise. These small,
chunky porpoises can commonly be seen in local waters
riding boat bow waves. Identified by their bold black and

white markings and their characteristic

“rooster-tail”

spray, Dall’s porpoises Can reach speeds of up to 30 knots,
museum assistant Curator Susan Kilpatrick said.

Moth meeting well attended

About 80 Peninsula residents
found what to look for when
searching for Gypsy Moths as
Agriculture Canada promoted its

efforts to eradicate the pest from -

Butish Columbia last week.

Most homeowners in North Saa-
nich are in favor of a spray pro-
gram, plant health division spo-
kesman Shane Sella said.

Sella said that bacillus thurin-
giensis, or Bt, is a very specific
bacteria that kills only gypsy
moths and can eradicate the pest if
found in small numbers.

A spraying program similar to
one used in Fort Langley, Parks-
ville and Courtenay will likely be
carried out in April and May when
the moth is in its caterpillar stage.
But first, all areas where the gypsy
moth lives must be found.

Drunk driver

Hitting a power pole in a 1978
Chev resulted in an impaired driy-
ing charge and a ride to the
hospital for a 23-year-old Sidney
man, after 10:40 p.m. Jan. 24.

Central Saanich police said the
van apparently went out of control
and hit the pole on Wallace Drive
neat Woodward Drive, causing an
estimated $8,000 damage.

The man was rushed to hospital
with injuries. A blood sample
revealed the driver to have a blood-
alcohol level above the legal limit,
police said. The man is also
charged with having no denyers
licence.

Thursday were told that 36 egg
masses with about 800 eggs each
were found in the McTavish-
Cresswell area.

The caterpillar is recognizable
by six pairs of red dots along its
back, with long, spiny hair, ranging
in six from two to six millimetres,
usually appearing in late-April
until June.

Once it becomes a moth, a
female is recognized by its cream
color and two distinct black arrow
marks on its wings. The male moth
is brown in color and has two
characteristic feathered antennae,
Sella said. Both range in size from

a 25 cent-piece to a dollar coin.

Persons finding these caterpil-
lars or moths are asked to put them
in a bottle and call 363-3421 for
Sella or Doug Kyle.

The moth is responsible for
extensive destruction in Eastern
Canada and Agriculture Canada
intends to eradicate the Peninsula
of it, not just control it, Sella said.

Future bright for leukemia victim

by Mare Davis
The Review

After months of waiting for a
suitable donor, Sidney resident
Jayson Lenaghan, 16, will be soon
get a life-saving bone marrow
transplant.

The spunky Parkland Secondary
student, who has acute leukemia,
left Vancouver General Hospital in
mid-January, boosted by the know-
ledge that he’ll soon be leading a
normal life again.

“It’s a great feeling to be
home,” he said after spending
nearly 20 weeks in an isolation
ward at VGH.

The operation is expected to
take place sometime before the
end of February.

Lenaghan’s apprehension that
problems may have developed
with what doctors described in
December as a “tentative donor”
have given way to relief now that
the transplant is going ahead.

“(We) didn’t get too excited at
first because everything could
have fallen through,” he said.

“But I guess I’m now kind of
happy that everything’s all set.”

After spending much of her time
by the bedside in Vancouver since
late August, Pat Lenaghan is thril-
led to have him home.

Money stolen
In Brentwood

“It’s wonderful. I keep pinching

said.
