British Columbia’s Jack the Ripper? A real possibility. A decade after the Ripper’s infamous killing spree, a woman in Victoria was attacked in an horrifically similar manner. So…had Jack fled to Canada’s West Coast or was her killer a local? On Seeing Dead People, host Nicola and psychic D’Arcy follow Agnes Bings’ last footsteps to investigate her gruesome murder in 1899. When D’Arcy describes the perpetrator’s unusual gait, without prior knowledge of his footwear, you’ll have goosebumps. Guaranteed!

If you’ve ever driven to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital, you may have wondered about the lovely, dove-grey, double-gabled farmhouse situated near the Mt. Newton Cross Road entrance. Well, today on About the Peninsula, Nicola Furlong will take you through the twin doors into this purpose-built house, which is the home of the Mt. Newton Centre. You may be surprised and impressed to learn what lies inside. 
 
As Adult Day program organizer Bridget Shumka explains, the centre is run by the not-for-profit Mt Newton Society and offers day health services for seniors living on the Saanich Peninsula. As you will discover, Bridget brings a strong nursing background, an intense drive to succeed and a keen interest in her clients’ well being to what she calls her last and best job. 
 
So please join us in crossing the wide-welcoming porch to experience the smiles, homey atmosphere and staff devotion of the Mr. Newton Centre, and if we’re really lucky, a taste of one of their famous freshly-baked muffins.
