Beckoning the big box Central Saanich makes small move toward nixing limits on Keating area businesses Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Central Saanich could be “open for business” for larger retailers after council opted to move forward with a bylaw to remove a size restriction in the Keating X Road business area. The official community plan currently limits stores in the traditional industrial area of the district to fewer than 53,800 square feet. Last fall former councillor Ron Kubek suggested council look to remove that restriction in an attempt to revitalize the Keating area. Coun. John Garrison said with proposals coming forward for First Nations land on the Peninsula, such as Jesken Town Centre at Tsawout and the Co-op at Tsartlip, it’s important for Central Saanich to show “that it is open for business.” “I think what it does is send a message to the business community that we’re at least open to the idea,” Garrison said. “It allows us to say we’re open for business, we’re prepared to look at major retail uses if they’re appropriate.” “Currently on First Nation land we have a lot of development proposals that are going around. … This gives us a chance to at least offer and have a say at what happens in Central Saanich,” agreed Coun. Terry Siklenka. “This gives us a little bit of control.” Councillors Zeb King and Adam Olsen opposed removing the size restriction. “This is not out of our control,” King said. “The vision of the community as expressed in the OCP is pretty clear. What we don’t see before us is a proposal for this site so we’re ahead of ourselves.” PLEASE SEE: Limits could turn businesses off, page A12

HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY AWARDS 2012 LIFETIME SERVICE AWARD WINNER –JEANNETTE HUGHES
A life’s worth of
GIVING BACK
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Her differently abled body has inspired Jeannette Hughes in many aspects of her lifetime of volunteer work. “I’ve been volunteering since I was born,” Hughes said, gesturing to a family photo. She’s pictured with her nine siblings and her parents. “Being part of a big family, everybody learns to help everybody else get things done.” What shifted her focus, perhaps, was a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis, which found her creating an MS support group on the Saanich Peninsula. That group turns 35 this year. “I started it when I was diagnosed with MS,” she said. “I had five children under 10 years old.” Originally looking to others in similar situations for support, Hughes has found herself promoting access since then. The streetscape of Sidney has changed dramatically since her move there 20 years ago (she lived in Colwood a few years and North Saanich for a decade before that). “When I came [to Sidney] there wasn’t one decent curb cut,” she said. “Now it’s opened up to more people and possibilities.”
NS contractor wins big kudos A North Saanichbased building contractor was recently named second runner up in a construction awards competition. ICF Builder Magazine named Black Bamboo Design and Build second runner up for the multi-family construction category, for its use of insulated concrete forms, or ICFs, on Oakville Mews, on Oakville Avenue near the skateboard park in Sidney. Awards were presented at a gala in Las Vegas.
Hughes earned the 2012 Hearts of the Community Award for lifetime service.

SERVICE TO SENIORS AWARD WINNER – SENDIAL TEAM
I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody so dedicated and compassionate for shut-ins. – Val Berber Sandy McCallum is captain of the Sidney Sendial team, a group of volunteers that takes orders and shops for shutins. Sidney Thrifty Foods delivers the items.
Reaching out to
SENIORS IN NEED Christine van Reeuwyk
Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Each week a roster of volunteers picks up phones and fill out forms on Sunday, Monday and Wednesday. “It’s for customers who can’t shop for themselves on a regular basis, or are sick,” said Sandy McCallum, captain of the Sidney Thrifty Foods Sendial team. “Teams of shoppers come in the next day.” It’s a system that keeps less manoeuvrable residents of Sidney in fresh groceries. Sidney Sendial volunteers are the winners of the Hearts of the Community Award for service to seniors. With about 110 orders on average per week in Sidney, and quite a few regulars, there appears to be a niche the program fills. “We’re needed. … We get so many customers who say, ‘I don’t know what I would do without this. I couldn’t stay in my home,’” she said. Often family members set clients up – whether they are in assisted living or their own homes – with the program that costs $5 added to the grocery bill. Thrifty’s drivers who make the deliveries will often put away the heavy stuff like kitty litter. That’s just one way the Thrifty’s staff help aid the Sendial program.

“All the staff are really helpful. … We do pester the staff a lot,” McCallum said with a grin. She shares her captaincy with Eleanore Arkesteyn and fellow Hearts winner Judy Beinder. “I answered an ad in the paper 14 years ago,” McCallum said. Volunteers commit three hours a week. “But we start at 8 a.m. and you just go until you’re done. You could be done at 10:30 or 12:30. Everybody is very committed.” What’s kept her a part of the volunteer program is the people. “The people I work with and the people I phone. It’s difficult when people go into care ... you feel part of their lives even though it’s just a once-a-week phone call,” she said, tears forming in her eyes. “I feel really good being able to help people and chat to them.” On occasion, a name or a voice overheard at the doctor’s office or pharmacy will sound familiar and suddenly she’s faced with one of the Sendial clients. “It’s neat when you do meet them,” McCallum said. “She has actually gone to people’s houses to help them,” piped in Thrifty’s comptroller Val Berber. Berber is among those who take the order sheets filled out by volunteers and sorts them into routes for the store’s delivery drivers. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody so dedicated and compassionate for shut-ins.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

OVERALL SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY AWARD WINNER – JUDY BEINDER
Making the Peninsula
A BETTER PLACE Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Variety is the spice of life for one Peninsula volunteer. Judy Beinder holds her eightyear volunteer position with Sidney Sendial program at Thrifty Foods, she’s done voluntary peer counselling for five years, and three year stints with Best Babies and Woodwynn Farm. She offered her home for a garage sale to raise funds for scholarships through the Canadian Federation of University Women Saanich Peninsula and served as president for the group for two years. “I volunteer because I really like volunteering. I like giving back,” Beinder said. “I’ve had some advantages and I don’t need anything myself. I have time and I don’t like just sitting around.” That variety earned Beinder the Hearts of the Community Award for overall service to the community. “Judy retired in 1998 after a career of teaching with the Saanich school district and began her second career, unpaid, as a volunteer,” said nominator Donna Miller, president of the local CFUW. “While serving as president of the CFUW for two years, she demonstrated leadership skills by involving members

OURSTANDING YOUTH VOLUNTEER AWARD WINNER – KALEY RAM
An early start on
GOOD DEEDS Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff
Kaley Ram, winner of the youth Hearts of the Community Award, is using her leadership skills to bring spirit to her school, and help around the world.
Community spirit is strong at Parkland secondary. Among the reasons is the leadership of its student council. This year, Kaley Ram co-chairs the council that she’s been involved with since her middle school years. “She is a leader who values her team and encourages everyone to participate,” said student council co-chair Kim Blair. “Kaley leads by example, not just in her volunteer work for student council, school and community, but in her daily life as a mentor and role model for her peers and fellow students.” Ram and Blair shared the Spirit of Parkland junior award at the school’s 2011 year end awards. Ram, who graduates in June, is this year’s outstanding youth in the Hearts of the Community Awards and earns a $1,000 scholarship. “I just enjoy volunteering because I enjoy the gratification out of it,” she said. “I think it’s important for everyone to do something to help others who can’t help themselves.” Through her work with student council, as co-chair, she’s helped run spirit assemblies, benefits and fundraisers. It’s a trait she started just down McDonald Park Road at North Saanich middle school.

“I just liked planning and organizing things,” Ram said. From Indonesia and Myanmar to Haiti and Japan, she’s organized basketball games and concerts to help victims of natural disasters around the world. “Kaley has a kind heart and mature demeanour which both combine to instil in her a great sense of morality and responsibility,” said teacher David McKinney, one her nominators. Close to home, Ram started a recycling program in 2008 at North Saanich middle school to fundraise for the SPCA. She also volunteered with the children’s camps at Panorama Recreation Centre. Her favourite part is the end of an event, “figuring out how much all my work has paid off and knowing that I can help someone.” Ram plans to head to Camosun College in the fall to study general sciences and plans to find some time to volunteer on the side. “I’d definitely like to find an organization I can be involved in once I graduate from Parkland.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com MOORAGE AVAILABLE

HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY AWARDS 2012 SERVICE TO CHILDREN AND FAMILIES AWARD WINNER – LORI ORR
Committed to
HELPING FAMILIES Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Giving is not about money. It’s holding a door. Offering a smile. This is Lori Orr’s philosophy. “I believe in holding the door … look somebody in the eye and say hi. You could totally change somebody’s day,” she says. Five happy babies are the highlight of her volunteering ways. The recipient of the service to families and children award in the 2012 Hearts of the Community Awards, Orr is a fundraising maven. In late 2008 Lisa Hardy and Tim Sorenson brought home the first quadruplets on Vancouver Island – twins Joseph and Samuel plus twins Jackson and Benjamin. Late in the pregnancy, Hardy was bed ridden and mid-move. “I went and walked the dog and helped move her furniture … made sure things were in preparation so she wouldn’t worry,” Orr said. “It just carried on.” Hardy remembers being in a Vancouver hospital and looking forward to Orr’s phone calls. “On one of these particular calls Lori informed me that she was organizing a fundraiser for our family,” Hardy said. “She realized having to quadruple our expenses on everything from diapers to formula would be an extraordinary amount, thus the Quad Squad was born.” The dance that followed in the spring raised more than $10,000 for the Brentwood Bay family. Last summer, toddler Henry Down was diagnosed with cancer. The family was forced to
stay in Vancouver for long spells for treatment. “We were rescued,” the Down family said in nominating Orr for a Hearts award. “Often times disease, financial crisis, overwhelming emotion, fear and loneliness through times like this can rip apart young families. … During our times of despair, our times of grief and our times of feeling lost, Lori’s positive attitude, her constant humour and non-chalantness towards how she simply knew Henry was going to be OK was a crutch for us.” Again Orr pounced into action with her “you never know until you ask” motto

and organized a community fundraiser at the Prairie Inn that raised $18,000 to help keep the family together. It also highlighted the cause and paved the way for other community events. “It’s so rewarding when the community comes together and they care,” Orr said. “That’s the most overwhelming feeling. It’s brought me to tears a few times when people stand up and give back.” A bookkeeper at Island Tax in Brentwood, she has no problems selling the famous Orr hot dog or pushing poinsettias to fundraise for Stelly’s grads the last couple years to round out her youthful investments. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Making life easier
ONE DRIVE AT A TIME Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff
Erin Cebula, BC Children’s Hospital Spokesperson
Hans Brygger is a volunteer driver with the Beacon Community Services program that gets Peninsula residents to critical medical appointments.
Hans Brygger has his wife and the News Review to thank for his 15 years of driving people around Greater Victoria. “I thought, ‘We’ve got to do something to keep active’ and we saw the ad in your paper looking for drivers,” Patricia explained. Now she and Hans both drive for the Beacon Community Services program that gets people to medical appointments around the region. “These volunteers enable people to live more independent lives and offer this service with respect and compassion,” said Kathryn Mason, co-ordinator for BCS volunteer service. “Lots of people tell me they don’t know how else they would get to a doctor’s appointment. I suspect some of them wouldn’t go.” The 63 volunteer drivers at Beacon Community Services are the Hearts of the Community Award winner for community service or project by a group.
“The program serves the needs of Peninsula residents. It’s not based on any financial means; it’s based on the clients’ need to get from A to B,” Mason said. “It serves the needs of people to get to their medical appointments when all other options fail. The drivers go right to the door, pick you up. … It’s a more personal service certainly than a cab.” With personal interaction with the person they’re helping, drivers get to see first-hand the effects of their work. “We’re called angels sometimes,” Patricia Brygger said. “People are so appreciative.” For Hans it keeps him busy and out and about. “It’s interesting to meet a lot of different people,” Hans said. “You get some interesting stories.” “It keeps my brain active and I like driving,” added Patricia, who usually does one drive a week. She often works dispatch, setting up appointments and drivers in what she calls a “critical service.”
The program has been around for more than 30 years. Gerd Berger’s been at it for nine. “It makes me feel I’m doing something worthwhile,” he said. “It keeps the old noggin active. … It’s good for me – it keeps me busy doing something that is appreciated and worthwhile.” After a lifetime volunteering as a firefighter it wasn’t a leap for him to search out volunteer opportunities after moving to Sidney nearly a decade ago. With his wife’s move to longterm care, he finds the drives uplifting for both driver and client. “It takes the worry away from people. They get to where they need to go and then taken home again,” he said. “We always converse because usually they’re lonely and as of a year and a half ago, I’m lonely too.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF
Man picks cells over hospital
Something unusual on the surveillance monitor snagged the attention of an officer at his desk in Central Saanich on Saturday morning. Around 8 a.m. the officer noticed someone fall to the ground in the entrance area of municipal hall. The man on the ground in the lobby turned out to be an intoxicated Central Saanich man in his early 20s. He refused an ambulance, police said, saying all he wanted was to go to cells and sober up. The police obliged.
Sign of charges to come
A Central Saanich man lost his licence after smacking into the welcome sign in Brentwood Bay. Shortly after 1 p.m. on Saturday Central Saanich police responded to a 911 call about a northbound vehicle that hit the sign at the intersection of West Saanich and Keating X roads. En route, the officer was updated through witness accounts that the driver had left the scene, walking to a nearby gas station where the officer caught up with him. A 48-year-old Central Saanich man failed a roadside screening and faces impaired driving charges.
Pub keeps patrons honest
A call from the Prairie Inn stopped a California driver on Saturday. Central Saanich police were called about a driver leaving the pub just before 5 p.m. Police stopped the man not far from the establishment and after failing a roadside screening, the driver’s vehicle was towed, and he was issued a 24-hour suspension and a court date.

The five elements Farmlands Trust wants to see five elements on the Sandown property: � farming – about 30 plots of one to three acres, possible greenhouses � a farm market – local produce � a public market – locally made products � community gardens – plots of five to eight acres � salmon enhancement – water catchment, rather than drainage, to establish a salmon habitat
Farmlands proposal brings split North Saanich together Plan for Sandown gets positive response Erin Cardone News staff
A divided and often “warring” council in North Saanich found a little unity Monday night. Members of the Farmlands Trust Society made a presentation at the committee of the whole meeting, outlining their plan to manage the land at the former Sandown race track. The municipality hopes to acquire 83 acres of the land in a deal with land owner Bill Randall. “Tonight was the first time in my ancient age when I look around and I’m quite reassured because we’re not at war with anybody,” North Saanich resident David Olsen
said at the meeting. Ed Johnson, chair of Farmlands Trust, said the group has been “working diligently” since publicly stating their intent to manage the land last month. He referred to comments made by some councillors – Ted Daly, Craig Mearns, Dunstan Browne and Conny McBride – who were concerned work required on the land would be felt by taxpayers. “[We’re] offering tonight to relieve North Saanich of that so-called burden, subject to a few conditions to be negotiated to ensure the success of this project. We will assume all costs to bring this property into the condition required by the Agricultural Land Commission,” Johnson said. The society hopes to work with other community groups to take on costs, which the district estimated at $693,000.
Farmlands Trust treasurer Glenn Davidson said if the society manages the property, it might require small C commercial on site, such as a market. It could be built using materials from the grandstand. “This is a business and it needs to be treated as one,” he said. “After all these [costs] have been dealt with and paid for [the Trust] would have earned the property. I guess what I’m trying to say here is let us help you to achieve that. We are open to any thoughts and suggestions, but we are definitely going to need some help with the zoning issues.” While Daly suggested the Trust buy the property, Mearns and Mayor Alice Finall disagreed. “I think we should be leasing it to you at a very low rate,” Mearns told Davidson. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com
Elderly woman hit by car, dies from injuries A Sidney woman died in hospital the day after a crash near Sidney elementary on Monday. The 86-year-old woman was using a walker in the marked crosswalk on Henry Avenue at Seventh Street at 2 p.m. Meanwhile, a 26-year-old Saanich woman driving a 2011 Toyota Yaris stopped on Seventh at Henry to turn left, then hit the woman in the crosswalk. The driver and witnesses rushed to help the injured woman until emergency services arrived. The woman died in hospital the following day from injuries related to the collision. “Our thoughts go out to her family at this difficult time. At the request of her family, her identity is not being released,” said Cpl. Chris Swain with Sidney North Saanich RCMP. He said the driver is cooperating with police and was released without charges. “However, a complete investigation continues and a report will be submitted to Crown counsel for review.” He said there were no obvious factors that might have led to the fatal incident. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Bill C-30 shows Tories’ hypocrisy We’re all for protecting children from Internet predators, but that doesn’t mean we can’t also be seriously opposed to Bill C-30. The federal Conservatives’ proposed legislation is intended to give police more tools for rooting out the bad guys in an increasingly wired world. However, there is a growing chorus of critics warning that the measures will profoundly damage personal freedoms. The unfortunate thing is the argument is being made on the extremes of the issue. Some supporters of the bill say you have to side with them if you want to help police stop the horrific sexual exploitation of kids. Some opponents argue that giving cops the power to demand Internet providers hand over customers’ names, email addresses and other personal information – without a warrant – sets us on our way to becoming a police state. But there are plenty of other, less sensational problems that Bill C-30 would create. As Canadians, we have carefully cultivated a culture where freedom is cherished. We don’t want government peering into our bedrooms and we don’t want to be forced to hand over the keys to our lives at the whim of any police officer. Right now, even without the proposed legislation, police have relatively little trouble getting customer information from Internet providers. Very few requests are actually turned down (about six per cent, according to RCMP numbers), so there is a real question about why the new law is needed in the first place. There is more to this legislation than rooting out evil-doers. By framing the argument as being simply about fighting the exploitation of children, the Conservative majority is insulting Canadians who want to do the right thing. If this government was so opposed to the “invasiveness” of the long-gun registry and the long-form Census, how can they now demand Canadians accept an even more intrusive law? We deserve to have a better discussion about Bill C-30 before the Torys force it into law. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@peninsulanewsreview.com or fax 250-656-5526.

ating a world without bullying. The statistics also show that in Canadian schools, bullying happens every 7.5 minutes on playgrounds and every 25 minutes in the classroom. In 2010 the World Health Organization ranked Canada in the bottom third of the 40 developed nations studied, according to their most recent survey on Health Behaviours of School-Aged Children. The survey was based on children’s reports of bullying and victimization. On Feb. 29 (www.pinkshirtday. ca) kids in schools everywhere will embrace anti-bullying for Pink Shirt Day. In advance of the day, I interviewed a few students participating in a T-shirt project put on by the Youth in Action teams at each of the three middle schools in the Saanich school district. I was dismayed when two middle school students admitted to me they’d been bullied when they were younger. Grade 1, one of them said. It hurt and reminded me of that book I’d almost left unfinished. I did eventually pick up Nineteen Minutes again to finish the story. Predictably it didn’t have a happy ending.

RELAX... IT IS OK TO CHEAT ON YOUR REGULAR HOTEL YOU DO YOUR THING... LEAVE THE REST TO US
Commercial plans ‘a blessing’ Re: Tsawout proposal goes public (News, Feb. 10) I am all in favour of this development. It will bring much needed job opportunities to the Peninsula area, will attract younger families – and for those of us who travel to Langford to do our big box shopping, it will be a blessing; gas saving; and will take some of the traffic away from Highway 1 and keep it in the Peninsula area. Do you need any more reasons to go ahead with this development? And the biggest reason for this development to
go ahead is just what Allan Claxton mentioned – to create self-sufficiency for the Tsawout people. It is way past time to do away with the outdated, useless Indian Act and help our First Nations become self-sufficient. Although I have no idea what all the lawyers and bureaucrats who have made the Indian Act their own little personal treasure trove will do with all their time once they don’t have the First Nations to manage and jerk around. Sandra Mills Sidney
Gov’t surveillance laws misguided There are many problems with this online spying legislation. It will slow our electronic economy down far below our G8 and G20 partners. It will be very costly to set up, and once set up will be equally costly to maintain. Increased taxes are the only way to offset these costs as the monitoring scheme itself will generate no revenue. By allowing the authorities to intercept the electronic traffic of any Canadian citizen, it essentially presupposes guilt on the part of the defendant – something that undermines the fabric of our justice system in a way that democracies have not yet seen. It eliminates the need for
Warrantless surveillance vs. hard won liberties
reasonable cause on the part of the authorities to whom these sweeping and invasive powers will be granted at the same time as it removes the decision from a judge who determines whether a warrant for observation is, well, warranted. There is no evidence that this legislation is needed. If enacted, it will hurt individual Canadians as much as it will hurt Canada as a whole. Please encourage your readers to go to www. stopspying.ca for more information on this issue, as well as to let Prime Minister Harper know that this legislation is unnecessary and unwanted. John Goring Victoria
Despite being very outspoken on the question of crime, Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems far from eager to discuss the legislation he’s promised to pass within 100 days of taking office – legislation that will allow online spying without a warrant. Is this to be done at the taxpayers’ expense? We have warrants in place for good reason, as we do the liberties we cherish. I, for one, do not want to see Canada moving in the direction of communist China. Todd Legault Victoria

“I don’t believe the hurdles and the obstacles that have been spoken about are necessarily there,” Olsen added. “We will likely have to have a public process even if we remove this, so the obstacles and hurdles are still there. … The self imposed limits are actually not quite as impressive as some have made them sound. I think we are open to entertaining applications.” Siklenka agreed with Garrison. “This is just to be able to remove roadblocks so when businesses are looking at the Keating area they don’t see hurdles up front,” Siklenka added. “Maybe the issue is because we have these hurdles up front, that keeps businesses from coming to us.” The obstacles for some are standards for others, King said, adding the OCP is a plan that undergoes extensive input from the community. He also noted the original size restriction removal came from council, and not from the public. “It would be prudent for an application to come forward, go through the public notification process,” King said. Coun. Cathie Ounsted pointed out that the issue would go before the public. “After that we can continue on or not continue on,” Ounsted noted. “If we do not divert and diversify our tax base it will fall on the backs of all our residents.” King and Olsen did not support the motion where council opted to move the

That would see the bylaw move to public hearing on March 12 at 6:30 p.m. “It’s a self imposed limit that Central Saanich has to date placed on itself. As such, you could argue it’s somewhat ideological in its rationale,” said Mayor Alastair Bryson. “Every ideology has to be truth tested against the realities of the current context, and validated or defeated in a public hearing … so I look forward to hearing the public’s input.”

Access options for a proposed development at Tsawout are raising red flags in Central Saanich. The proposed Jesken Town Centre is 650,000 square feet of new outdoor retail on 70 acres of Tsawout land near Highway 17 and Jus Kun Road with two or three large retailers, four or five mid-sized retailers and opportunities for smaller businesses and restaurants. After a meeting last Friday between Property Development Group, Tsawout, Ministry of Transportation and District of Central Saanich staff, chief administrative officer Gary Nason reported back to council with three highway access options being perused for the proposed centre. Option one would be a standalone interchange on Tsawout land with no connections to the district road network. The second includes connections to Central Saanich Road with no changes to Island View or Mount Newton X roads. The third option concerns council most, with Island View Road lights removed and replaced by an interchange at Jus Kun Road. Island View would still have a right-in southbound and a half signal would be installed at East Saanich Road and the highway for southbound traffic, triggered by the length of the stack-
ing cue to turn left onto Keating X Road and improvements to Puckle Road. “Clearly there would be significant implications to each of these options,” Nason told council at Monday night’s meeting. Option three appears to be the Ministry of Transportation’s favourite, he told council, as the ministry could provide some financial support because it could show efficiencies or improvements to Highway 17. The ministry is updating the Highway 17 corridor strategy covering the stretch from Swartz Bay to McKenzie Avenue. “I’m concerned with the compressed time frame and process that was suggested at the meeting,” said Mayor Alastair Bryson. “This is a significant opportunity for constructive dialogue in our entire community.” He cited “significant concerns” over the implications of options two and three. “Clearly option one is outside of our jurisdiction” he said. Coun. Carl Jensen pointed out that Island View is a link to the district’s truck route. Council decided to ask staff to arrange a meeting later this month with Tsawout and communicate concerns around time frame, options and process. Siklenka, Bryson and possibly Coun. Adam Olsen plan to attend. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com
