Free shuttle in the works Peninsula Recreation Commission considers free Peninsula shuttle Devon MacKenzie News staff

During a council meeting this week, Central Saanich council and staff heard about a new endeavor by the Peninsula Recreation Commission (PRC) to offer a free shuttle on the Saanich Peninsula.

The shuttle, which will run on a one-season trial basis from the last week of June through until the end of August, will be funded from the PRC’s reserve fund and is estimated to cost around $45,000. Any sponsorship or donations to the program would be used to reduce the amount used from the reserve.

“It will allow people to get to the recreation facilities and allow students from other areas on the Peninsula to enjoy programming at places like Panorama and Greenglade,” said Councillor Carl Jensen, who is also Chair of the PRC. The PRC approached council for their thoughts on the shuttle but ultimately do not need their approval to run the service or use the reserve funds to operate it.

“This is an opportunity to take a chance on something and try it out by looking at it on a test-run basis,” said Jensen, after questions were raised by Councillor Zeb King.

Town looks to hire more full-time firefighters Council proceeds with option to help cover daytime emergency calls Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney needs more daytime firefighters to be able to adequately respond to emergency calls.

This need is outlined in a firefighter hiring plan, presented to town council on Feb. 4 and approved during their budget discussions that night. What that

means for taxpayers is a $38,852 increase in the department’s budget in 2013 and additional increases over the following five years as the department hires four new firefighters, bringing the total to seven full-timers.

A firefighter hiring plan was brought up in 2012 after the department raised the ongoing issue of a lack of volunteers in the commu-

nity available to respond to daytime emergency calls. Council at the time asked the department to pursue other options first, such as a recruitment drive and advertising, before pressing on with the hiring plan.

Sidney Volunteer Fire Department Chief Jim Tweedhope told the News Review earlier that a firefighter recruitment drive last

fall attracted eight new members.

They will eventually, he said, help the Sidney department respond to emergency calls throughout the day. However, not all of the recruits or current firefighters are available during the day.

This means more reliance upon Sidney’s three career firefighters (a fourth full-timer is an administrative assistant) and the mutual

aid agreement between them, the North Saanich and Central Saanich fire departments. “(Daytime coverage is) always an issue with volunteer fire departments,” Tweedhope said, noting people work, attend school and sometimes do those things outside of the community.

Former board member alleges interference Most councillors are skeptical, reject call for council guidelines Steven Heywood News staff

A former member of the District of North Saanich’s board of variance has alleged that there were a couple of incidents of political interference in the decisions made by the quasi-judicial body.

Clarence Bolt was not selected to return to the board, where he spent the last six years, when council made its recent threeyear term appointments. He stood before council on Feb. 6 and stated he thought he was to be interviewed for a potential reappointment to the board but that did not happen and he was not re-appointed.

“In my six years there, I enjoyed the group,” he said, noting his experience on boards of variance is extensive and includes

nine years on another such body.

In his address to council, Bolt said he was witness to two occasions of possible political interference in the board’s decisions.

Boards of variance deal with appeals for minor variances to zonTed Daly ing bylaws.

“I feel this past year, the board has been subject to some political scrutiny,” he said, adding that in the past, the board itself has acted with integrity.

The first incident, he claimed, came when a board decision was questioned by the proponent of the project on which the board ruled. That complaint, he said, prompted council to ask for the board to give their reasons for their decision in writing.

The second, he said, came when the board made a decision in a very close vote.

Celia Stock

Afterwards, he said a councillor stated that the decision was “the right one.” That, Bolt said, could have made those on the board who voted one way feel intimidated.

Councillor Ted Daly was skeptical of Bolt’s comments, stating to bring the concerns forward now, after the

fact, seems suspect.

“To bring it up now is only taking (Bolt’s) comments (at face value),” Daly said, adding he wasn’t going to base any decisions on one person’s comments.

“This, to me, is fairly serious,” said Coun.

Elsie McMurphy.

She asked staff to provide council with guidelines on how they can avoid any semblance of interference, real or perceived, with the board.

Coun. Celia Stock added that the sepa-

ration of powers is important in this case and council’s role in the matter needs to be clarified.

Coun. Dunstan Browne said his recollection of the first instance — asking the board to give its decision in writing — was that the matter was too big to have been sent to the board in the first place. He also said a comment like “you made the right decision” doesn’t constitute interference.

Mayor Alice Finall noted that Bolt’s bringing up the issue would have been problematic when he was a sitting board member.

“The (board of variance) is a quasi-judicial body,” Bolt said. “It’s not a committee of council. Its decisions can only be challenged at the Supreme Court. Its duties are performed with integrity, based on rules laid out by (the provincial government).”

Bolt added he hopes that despite changes made to the board’s membership, it will continue to operate without political influence.

McMurphy’s motion to seek guidelines from staff was defeated, 4-3.

District considers online comments COUNCIL NEWS District of North Saanich - Monday, Feb. 4 Steven Heywood News staff

• Council is asking district staff to report on the pros and cons of a resident’s proposal to reduce his lot size to accommodate an expansion of a cottage on his property. Resident Peter Mason made the request to better house his growing family and their plans to age in place. The cottage is currently legal, but non-conforming to existing zoning bylaws. Mason is essentially requesting a variance to allow the expansion of the cottage.

Sidney Pier Hotel supports food bank Devon MacKenzie News staff

A Mardi Gras event at the Sidney Pier Hotel last month raised an impressive $2,000 for the Sidney Lions Food Bank.

The party, which saw the Pier Hotel transformed into a Louisiana look-a-like on Jan. 19, featured fun activities like the Haro’s Casino, the VooDoo Lounge and Maw Maw’s Louisiana Kitchen. Net proceeds were donated to the food bank.

“We wanted to choose an organization that would benefit people right here in the community,” said Sidney Pier General Manager Natalie King.

Mardi Gras events continued at the hotel until Feb. 3.

• Eleven North Saanich residents addressed council during the public participation period.

They spoke to housing growth concerns, zoning applications and even to offer kudos to the district’s outside staff.

• A Civic Ideas website application - essentially an online public comments area - is being considered for the district’s website. Council decided to delay any approvals until later this month in order to get more information from staff and Granicus Inc., the developer of the application. The service is being offered free, except for staff time.

• From its in-camera sessions, council announced that the district has withdrawn from the Capital Regional District regional crime unit and will use the savings to reduce the 2013 and future years’ policing budget.

OUR VIEW

B.C.’s Family Day isn’t free T

his weekend marks B.C.’s first Family Day statutory holiday, which for most people breaks that long three-month stretch between New Year’s Day and Easter.

B.C. residents now enjoy 10 stat holidays (11 if your employer is nice enough to throw in Boxing Day), which ties us with Saskatchewan as the most generous province for the coveted long weekend. By contrast, Nova Scotians and Newfoundlanders only have five.

While Greater Victorians enjoy recounting their youth by listening to Trooper in the Inner Harbour on Monday, or take advantage of the many activities offered at recreation centres across the region, people should remember not everybody can afford an extra day off.

When Premier Christy Clark announced the creation of Family Day in October 2011, she expected that by now a better economy would balance out the extra costs to businesses.

But many small retailers and companies are struggling as the economy remains flat at best. They are paying out more due to a higher minimum wage and all are now contemplating the cost and hassle of returning to the GST/PST system.

The Canadian Federation of Independent Business estimates a small business with five employees will shell out about $1,135 for Family Day and it will cost small and medium sized businesses $42 million in lost productivity.

Municipal and provincial governments will also shell out more for essential service employees and the hundreds of thousands of people on the public payroll.

This holiday can be seen as rather blatant pandering to the electorate by the B.C. Liberals, or an attempt to give hard-working B.C.ers a break – perhaps it’s a bit of both.

And while the majority of us will enjoy the Monday off work, it’s important to acknowledge the many small business owners in our community who will see it as nothing but an added burden.

“We thought this would be a playful way to disrupt a fun contest and challenge people to think about who is being represented here – who is allowed, and welcome, to show affection.”

None of the folks in any of the photos struck me as the “wrong” kind of person, and that’s just one place they mixed the message.

Whether it’s the press release blasting the business group for “censorship” or aggressively cursing them out on the website, the kiss disruption campaign missed the “playful” target.

LETTERS Small but confident group in North Saanich

R

e: Full House On Housing Debate, 1 Feb., 2013.

My associates and I would like to thank the PNR for a thorough exposition of the current state of the Public Consultation on housing density policy in North Saanich.

However, I would like to correct the phrase, “… a small group of concerned citizens leading the opposition to this process…”.

We are definitely not opposed to the process, but do have concerns about

the terms of reference and their subsequent implementation. Moreover, through various community sources, we believe that, although our group may be few in numbers, we are confident that we represent the sentiments of a growing number of North Saanich residents in this matter.

As mentioned in the article, we are concerned both the public meeting and the exit survey jumped quickly to the question of “what kind of higher density housing and where should it be?”

Although the consultant, a majority of Council, the development community and the Sidney-North Saanich Industrial Group may feel that the case for higher density housing is established and watertight, many residents are not able to embrace that conclusion easily.

We sense that, on that question, many people feel uninformed or skeptical or both.

For these reasons we have always felt that the public consultation process is valuable but should have started with

the question, “Do you believe that there is a need for higher density housing within North Saanich?”

It is worth noting the impetus for this hurried housing initiative and the subsequent consultation process costing at least $38,500, was mainly from the development community and their supporters on council.

It did not come from a majority in the community.

Readers respond: Real food and butting out Vote for real food I would be interested to hear from a farmer, not a government subsidized agricultural business growing corn or soy, to back up Lorne Hepworth’s claim that “when it comes to Canadian farmers, they overwhelmingly choose to grow genetically improved varieties of corn, canola, soybeans...”

It seems his letter is the same propaganda that companies like Monsanto dish out. Small farmers like those the general public envisions with a red barn, some cows and land for a variety of crops are decreasing each year according to the recent StatCan reports. GMO companies are pro agriculture especially large mono-cropping operations that, funnily enough, can only use genetically modified seeds because nothing else will grow from lack of nutrients in the soil.

It’s an unsustainable cycle.

The bottom line is that consumers need to inform themselves, support local farmers and use their money to cast a vote for real food.

Linda Biggs Central Saanich

Kick those butts It takes 10-12 years for a cigarette butt to decompose. That’s more than twice as long as plywood, wool socks, and milk cartons.

Did you know that? I didn’t, until I read the stat in MaryJane’s Farm Magazine, quoting

the B.C. organization Change Everything. The fact prompted me to write this letter to voice something that’s peeved me for ages: Why is it socially acceptable to litter cigarette butts?

I don’t mean to engage in smoker bashing. I have the utmost empathy for folks struggling against the addictive powers of tobacco. I simply wish to point out that cigarette butts belong in trash cans. Cigarette butts are revolting. They look horrid strewn about. So please, if you smoke, after the fire’s extinguished put your butts where they belong.

Laneway adds density In your latest story regarding the Lunn development, you report “The district’s current residential, single family home, zoning (R1) allows for only 2.5 units per acre. By way of comparison, the proposed housing development at 9395 East Saanich Road is 39 or 40 units over 4.3 acres — which is approximately nine units per acre.”

This depiction fails to mention the additional 40 units that would be considered as ‘laneway housing’.

According to a CRD staff report presented at the Dec. 19 meeting: “The proponent also proposes laneway housing in this development which would permit one secondary unit per lot, to a maximum of 80 units” Iif this CRD report is accurate, then the nine units per acre sug-

gested in the story could potentially become 18 units per acre.

Vision lacking Re: Left in Limbo, PNR, Feb. 1.

Let me get this straight: there were applicants willing to serve on the Heritage Commission but they were all rejected.

Councillor Browne must have amnesia when he refers to not much coming out of the Heritage Commission. Last week, St. John’s United Church in Deep Cove was added to the North Saanich Heritage Register.

The current council majority appears to lack vision looking backward as well as forward.

Taking care of Canada For all those who constantly find fault with the Prime Minister and our Conservative government, just realize how many billions of dollars we give away to countries who never help themselves. Billions on wars that never end because of the hatred they have for each other’s religion.

The PM has done something right when Canada is the only country to survive the mess in the financial world. Canada cannot be responsible for every nation that continues to fight year after year. Our PM has taken care of Canada brilliantly.

NEWS REVIEW

Four firefighters over three years Continued from page 1

“It’s a bonus if they’re available during the day but we cannot make that connected to recruiting new firefighters.”

The new recruits are two years away from being effective frontline firefighters. So, the chief is asking for a blended department — a mix of 30 volunteer members and an additional four full-timers to bring the career firefighter contingent up to seven. In Sidney, Tweedhope said the department responds to an emergency call with five firefighters on a truck.

“The issue is daytime firefighter availability,” said Councillor Mervyn LougherGoodey. “There is still not Lougherenough to provide adequate Goodey coverage.”

Coun. Steve Price said there’s a cost associated with the hiring plan, so a call for no tax increases this year is looking unlikely.

“But most people, in my view, would like to see this council protect the safety and security of our residents,” he said.

Mayor Larry Cross added if Sidney cannot meet this need Tweedhope for adequate fire protection during the day, their liability risk increases and insurance rates might go up.

Coun. Marilyn Loveless said it would be risky to consider police or fire department cutbacks, adding the hiring plan option chosen by council will cost the average taxpayer $2 per month.

The plan calls for the hiring of one career firefighter this year, two more in 2014 and a fourth in 2015. The estimated cost of having all four on staff in 2015 is $147,748.

Phased in over six years, the additional cost to having four new full-timers is an estimated $253,269 by 2018, or no more than a 0.64 per cent increase in taxes over those six years.

Town staff are including a savings of $126,000 from 2014 to 2018 — that’s the cost of one of the department’s assistant fire chiefs, who is planning on retiring midway through 2014.

Lougher-Goodey said the town is at the point where a blended department has to be considered, but added he doesn’t want to give the department carte blanche. He said the plan will have to be assessed by council each year.

“Follow the plan,” he said, “but each year of the plan, review it. We have been warned there will be some growing pains, so we have to move cautiously.”

The Central Saanich volunteer fire department has four full-timers, while there are only three in North Saanich. Both of those, however, have 40-plus volunteers available.

A vision for the village Saanichton Village Association holds workshop this month Devon MacKenzie News staff

This month, the Saanichton Village Association (SVA) will begin a visioning process they call Saanichton 2020.

“It’s really about finding out what people’s visions are for the community,” said SVA President, Jan Carroll. “We want people to come and talk about their ideas and what they envision the village looking like years from now.”

The SVA adopted the Saanichton 2020 concept about a year ago and have been working with the District of Central Saanich to seek direction on their plans for the community. This month, the association, the District and the public will come together for the first time on this project to share ideas.

“Anyone can come, it’s not just for those who are in the core of Saanichton,” explained Carroll. “The idea is that everyone — residents and business owners — comes with their visions and writes them down. It can be anything from ideas about transportation, locations of crosswalks and even things like adding garbage cans or benches in certain areas. Anything and everything that makes a village.”

Carroll added that the District of Central Saanich will be providing maps and flip charts for the workshop so people can have an overview of what the village currently looks like.

The workshop will also include focus groups on families and age-friendly Saanichton.

“We’re really looking forward to hearing what

Hope for heritage commission Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich council has changed its mind and will advertise for more members of their heritage advisory commission to help make it a functioning group.

At their Jan. 28 committee meeting, the council voted not to re-advertise for heritage commission members, leaving it with only two people — not enough for a quorum. They did not vote to dissolve the group but had talked of eventually merging it with other committees.

On Feb. 4 at their regular meeting, council reconsidered, despite reservations.

“The district hasn’t had a functioning (heritage) commission for a while now,” said Councillor Ted Daly. “You can’t make something out of nothing if (volunteers) aren’t there.”

In a 4-3 vote on a Coun. Elsie McMurphy motion, council agreed to add the heritage commission to their plans to advertise for more parks committee members, in an attempt to find interested people. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Central Saanich police say the cyclist was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident and that they are not recommending any charges against the female driver of the car. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

NEWS REVIEW

A proposed events co-ordinator for the Town of Sidney has been put off for reconsideration in 2014.

Council voted on Feb. 4 to defer the idea for a year after staff recommended to do so, due to its $75,000 to $100,000 per year price tag as well as other variables in the mix.

Those include a new co-ordinator

of the town’s summer market and the potential for a business improvement area (BIA) pumping out marketing dollars to promote the downtown commercial core.

Staff will also consider whether such work can be integrated with existing jobs.

“Things are too fluid in Sidney right now,” said Mayor Larry Cross, “so it’s premature to go ahead with hiring a new staff member.”

Director of financial services, and acting CAO, Theresa Flynn said if council would defer the motion, she could provide more information on what a zero tax rate would look like — including what she termed a possible reduction of services as a result.

“I understand it may not be possible to reach this goal,” Browne said of his motion, adding he wants it to be a goal the district tried to reach.

Little Spirits Garden is a community memorial dedicated to the acknowledgment and remembrance of pregnancy and infant loss. “It does not matter if parents lost their baby 50 years or 5 hours ago, the grief of the loss of a baby before birth is often lifelong, raw, and ever present, laying just below the surface of the parents’ heartbeat.�

Sidney’s Star Cinema is so close to meeting their fundraising goal that they are almost quivering in anticipation.

Last month, owner Sandy Oliver reduced the movie theatre’s goal of $200,000 to $185,000, after she was able to get a better deal on a second digital projector.

The fundraising has been going so well that she was also able to fully pay off before Christmas a loan they had received for their first digital projector.

Now, at almost $170,000 raised, Oliver and one of her biggest supporters, Susan Simosko, say a couple of donations will put them over the top.

Those donations, they say, are all but in the bank.

During one of her regular movie introductions at the Star on Tuesday night, Simosko said she put out the usual reminder and call for donations to help keep the cinema going. She said she was approached twice by people who said they were going to make significant contributions — enough to surpass their goal.

Star owner Sandy Oliver and Alan Lewis, the husband of the late Carolyn Lewis, who once owned the theatre.

While those donations are promising, they are not yet confirmed. Oliver and Simosko, however, are confident.

Oliver has now ordered new seats for the Star. Those, and renovations to the community theatre, should be installed and complete by the end of March.

It could take about six weeks for their second digital projector to arrive.

The District of North Saanich advises residents that flushing of water mains and hydrants will commence February until May 31, 2013.

Water main flushing occurs annually throughout the District to remove sediment and maintain satisfactory water quality within the distribution system.

Temporary water discoloration and/or low water pressure may occur as a result of this activity. This discoloration is not a health hazard. To clear water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap until the water runs clear. The District cannot be responsible for damages caused by the use of discolored water.

Upon request, the District will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for persons with special requirements for water clarity. Please notify District staff at 250-655-5480 if you require advance notification.

Don passed away into Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; loving arms on Sunday, February 3, 2013, surrounded by his family who adored him. Don was devoted to his family and loved by all who met him â&#x20AC;&#x201C; gentle, humble, kind and generous in spirit. He was well known to so many in Brentwood Bay and the surrounding area, whether it was out on his daily bike rides or walking Kato.

Don was born and raised in Winnipeg, and spent countless happy summer hours vacationing with the family on the island at Clearwater Bay, Lake of the Woods. Don and Barbara moved to Victoria in1980 to enjoy the beauty of the West Coast.

Don was predeceased by his beloved wife of 46 years, Barbara, and his dear brother, Roderick. He is survived by his loving wife of 10 years, Ada; his children of whom he was so proud, Camille Davison, Sharon (Don) Trochim and Mark (Lyn Suderman) Davison. He is forever cherished by his grandchildren Erin, Andrea and Kristin Trochim, and Simon, Brittany, Patrick and Nichola Teague, as well as by his precious great granddaughter, Ara and her Dad, Blake. He will be greatly missed by Adaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s children, Annemarie (Peter, Andrew, Cameron and Marjan ), Ron (Lori, Ellisa and Wesley) and Mike (Linda).

Thank you to our friends and family for your love, support and prayers over the past week, to Rev. Rodney May and our church family at Crossroads Peninsula Anglican Church and to the staff of ICU and 7BS at VGH for your kindness, understanding and devoted care.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Friendship Community Church, 7820 Central Saanich Rd (at Mt. Newton Crossroad), Thursday, February 7, 2013 at 2 pm.

Reception to follow.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hugs embraced his unconditional love. In honour of Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory, please share a hug and word of kindness with someone you care for, and give a pat on the head to a furry friend. In lieu of ďŹ&#x201A;owers, donations may be made in Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s name to Catâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cradle Animal Rescue, 33-1255 Wain Rd, North Saanich, BC V8L 4R4. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all been said and done, there is just one thing that matters Did I do my best to live for truth, Did I live my love for You.

I will always sing Your praise, Here on earth and ever after, For Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve shown me Heavenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my true home.
