Parking rules in effect
Traffic and parking fines in North Saanich will cost a maximum of $65 Steven Heywood News staff
North Saanich’s new street and traffic bylaw is in the books — but only barely. A narrow 4-3 vote saw the bylaw, which will regulate parking and traffic issues in the municipality, pass at a June 24 special meeting following a round of changes sparked by the concerns of council. Bylaw officer Bob Jones reported to council that he reviewed the bylaw and reduced its regulations by approximately 40 per cent to accommodate council’s suggested changes. Councillors had asked staff to make changes based on what’s needed in their community — and not base the bylaw on how other municipalities have done things. In his report, Jones noted that regulation of overtime parking, stopping in bus stops and crosswalks, parking facing the wrong direction, sleeping in a vehicle and misuse of horns, among others, have all been removed. Fines for traffic offences have been reduced by 40 per cent as well, Jones noted. Instead of a variety of fines in the original proposed bylaw of anywhere from $50 to $200, all fines are set at $65 with an early pay reduction within 30 days to $50. Councillors Conny McBride and Dunstan Browne said they still did not like the bylaw. “I’m concerned about the no parking on boulevard segment,” said McBride.

Hospital gift shop finally grows After three decades, the gift shop at the San Pen Hospital expands Devon MacKenzie News staff
A project to upgrade the hospital’s gift shop that has been talked about by the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Auxiliary (SPHA) for close to 30 years has finally been realized. A grand opening was held last Wednes-
day (June 26) for the new, almost doubled in size gift shop which had been under construction since winter. “By the end of February we were looking good on timing and everything was coming together but we were lacking in our funds to continue the project,” explained Linda Padget, who is the gift shop convenor who spearheaded the
project. “Thankfully the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation stepped in to help us out and we were able to complete the renovation on time and on budget,” she said. Please see: Auxiliary serving hospital, page 8

When it comes to the gap in property taxes between what businesses and homeowners pay, North Saanich is the worst in B.C., according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Businesses (CFIB). The 2013 CFIB Municipal Property Tax Report compares the difference in property tax rates charged. Last year in North Saanich, small businesses paid
P L A N -
5.6 times more than residential property owners. North Saanich is followed by Coquitlam (4.66 times) and Revelstoke (4.59 times. Burnaby small businesses paid 4.52 times more than residential property owners, a 25.02 per cent increase from 2003 when the CFIB started producing its annual report. The provincial average was 2.7 times, less than in 2011 when it was 2.78 times. On the other end of the scale,
three considerably smaller municipalities came in tied for 159th spot, charging the same rate for both types of taxes — Anmore, Bowen Island and Warfield. The CFIB is advocating that the gap be capped at two to one. The report noted that in a member survey, 69 per cent ranked their local business property tax as the tax most harmful to the operation of their business. — Burnaby News Leader/Black Press

Beware of scams
SIDNEY — A Peninsula News Review reader called to warn others about a scam making the rounds and which had plagued her repeatedly in recent days. Calls have come in from a person claiming to be from Microsoft or another computer company. They say they’re calling because the resident’s computer has a virus. They offer to fix it, for a fee of course. The reader said she does not even have a computer. She and her daughter phoned Microsoft, who told them they do not make such calls. They warn others to make sure such service calls are legitimate.

Glyn’s taking it easy at 103 years The secret to the longevity of Sidney’s Glyn Jones is in the genes - and in the attitude Steven Heywood News staff
Glyn Jones’ family is pretty average, when it comes to aging. Yet, there are a couple of notable exceptions. Jones, who turned 103 years old on June 22, says his oldest sister lived to be 104 and his father lived to age 90. Otherwise, he continued, his extended family lived to typical old ages. Nothing too special. He said the fact he had lived so long can be attributed to a couple of things — genetics and his willingness most of his life to go with the flow. “I think I drifted through life. I went with the flow,” Jones said from a comfortable chair at The Peninsula seniors living facility in Sidney. “I try not to make a lot of plans for myself these days, you know, other than the odd doctor’s appointment or things like that.” He said for much of his life, he took what came with a positive attitude and has been lucky enough not to have had any really serious illnesses along the way. But if you think Jones just drifted through life, think again. Born in South Wales, he emigrated to Canada in 1928 at the age of 18. He was a trained wireless operator, but left the United Kingdom to find work. He landed a job in Halifax with the Atlantic Ferry Organization, a civilian organization tasked with flying aircraft to various locations in the U.K.
Steven Heywood/News staff
Sidney’s Glyn Jones, 103, says he couldn’t have found a better place to live at his age than the Peninsula. By 1941, during the Second World War, it became the Royal Air Force AFO (still manned mostly by civilians), ferrying new aircraft to various locations around the world. A radio operator, Jones flew with crews bound for Prestwick, Scotland and as far afield as Karachi, India. That long
trip would take Jones to places like Gander, Newfoundland, Bermuda, the Azores, Morocco, east Africa and various stops in India. Following the war, Jones would have a contract with Air France which took him to live in California. He would later land a job with Lock-
heed, staying with them for nearly 30 yeas and marrying his wife, Ruth. When he retired from Lockheed, Jones was an electrical engineer for the company’s missile and space division. Retirement brought him and Ruth to Sidney, where they settled in to enjoy their free time. Ruth has since passed away but Jones still looks fondly on their years together. He said he was also lucky enough to know someone who was from the Saanich Peninsula, who he met during his years with the RAF AFO. “I met Roy Tidman when I came to Canada. I was the same age as him. The same day and year. We were friends ever since, until he died a couple of years ago.” Tidman was part of the familyowned company, Tidman Construction which build Jones’ current home, The Peninsula at Norgarden. “I couldn’t have done any better,” Jones said of his new home in Sidney. “I landed on my two feet in this place.” Jones encourages people, if they want to have a good life and enjoy whatever comes their way, to smile a lot, laugh and try to keep positive.”There are a bunch of us here and we’re known as the loud table at dinner. But we’re just talking and laughing.” He might say he drifted through life, but Jones certainly drifted into some pretty interesting jobs and places throughout his 103 years.
Hop-on, hop-off shuttle takes people to local attractions Devon MacKenzie News staff
Six attractions on the Saanich Peninsula have teamed up to launch a free hop-on, hop-off shuttle service and it kicked off over the Canada day long weekend. The Peninsula Shuttle is a reimagined version of a pay shuttle service that began in the summer of 2012. This year the service will be free and will connect both tourists and locals to the Peninsula’s most popular attractions. “We started it at the beginning of last summer it was fairly well used as a pay service, but the ridership went up when we went to a free service,” explained Matthew Butterfield, the public relations official for the Peninsula Shuttle. “So this year again we’re hoping for increased ridership as we’re starting off with a free service. We really want to see people using it, whether it’s tourists or residents.” Butterfield said the initiative to

tions of the attractions who are funding it: Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Brentwood Bay Resort and Spa, Butchart Gardens, Victoria Butterfly Gardens, Church and State Winery and Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse. “It runs all day long from 9:50 a.m. to about 5:30 p.m. as well as we have a second bus that does pick-ups at the two ferry terminals, B.C. Ferries and Washington State Ferries,” Butterfield said. The service is operated by CVS Sightseeing and will also augment the company’s existing Butchart Gardens shuttle from downtown Victoria. “We needed to do this to get people to our properties,” said Butterfield. “It was an important aspect that was missing.” For more information and schedules for the shuttle which will run until Sept. 3, visit www.peninsulashuttle.ca. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
New era possible for deadly road The placing of concrete dividers on the Malahat, in areas prone to crashes, is a good step in the right direction, from a safety perspective and one of highway continuity, even as driver common sense remains paramount. While it is critical that emergency crews be able to quickly reach drivers involved in collisions on the road, it is also imperative that at least one lane of the road remains open to keep traffic moving. At this time of the year, more families will be hitting the road for summer holidays, and many of those will be travelling up or down the Malahat to reach their destinations. There have been many calls over the years to do something to address the potential for problems and tragedy on this hilly, windy section of Highway 1 between Goldstream Park and Mill Bay. Some of those suggestions, or demands, had a snowball’s chance in Haiti of being followed through on, like the bridge and tunnel ideas. But the one that always seemed to make the most sense – a better system of dividers – has finally been acted upon by the Ministry of Transportation. This is the same department that spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the Inland Island Highway from Parksville to Courtenay some years back, then extended it to Campbell River, so people could rumble along at 120 kilometres per hour or more between areas that produce far less traffic than the Malahat on a daily basis. But those were the days when government had more money to throw around and such megaprojects could be justified with the number of full-time jobs that were created. Things are different today, and finding solutions that cost less and are more efficient uses of funds are the norm. That said, there is and will always be the matter of driver behaviour on a road that has sustained many tragic crashes – some due to conditions, but virtually all traceable back to some level of driver error. As on any road, we need to practise safe driving when tackling the Malahat and not let added dividers lull us into a false sense of security. Driving for the conditions is the mantra for this tricky, but very scenic and beautiful stretch of highway – that and always maintaining complete control of your vehicle. Thanks for the extra safety features, but we’ll still be keeping our eyes wide open and our heads up.
New barriers on Malahat not the only solution

premiers, limiting spending growth to 4.4 per cent. During those same years, average provincial economic growth was only 4.1 per cent, meaning that under the supposedly tight-fisted, tax-cutting Campbell, government continued to grow to more than 20 per cent of gross domestic product. Clark has indicated several times since her surprise election win that she intends to make government smaller. That’s the difference between her “core review” of government programs and the one conducted by Campbell in the painful first years of his mandate. This is why I mentioned last week that one of the more significant instructions given to Clark’s cabinet ministers was to examine turning the Liquor Distribution Branch into a separate corporation with its own board of directors. That in itself may slightly increases the size of government. But it could be a preliminary step to selling the whole thing off and reducing the government’s role to taxing and regulating booze sales. You can imagine how that would go over with the NDP, with former liquor store union boss George Heyman among the loudest opposition MLAs. This is the kind of change that should be debated in public, not by press release. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Stand firm on resource growth I
last stand, is the land. We have treaties in this country and one of the government’s biggest challenges is land settlement. The gas and oil industry, with the knowledge of the federal and provincial governments, have been holding meetings with Indian bands all over British Columbia. They are promising money and jobs to aboriginal people if they get the green light to expand into B.C. The mentality of industry and government is laughable – they are now meeting with our community elders. I guess they think they fooled us once – why not try again. Aboriginals have a claim to the rights of this land and what we have in our arsenal for this fight is nature. Our elders know that you can’t argue with mother nature – her word is the law. Finally after 200 years our fight is tilted in our favour and we have some pretty impressive backers, the president of the U.S.A., scientists from every earthly discipline around the world, environmentalists, celebrities and most importantly the
growing numbers of the Canadian public. I think President Obama put it best when he delivered his speech on climate change. Convince those in power to reduce our carbon pollution. Push your own communities to adopt smarter practices. Invest. Divest. Remind folks there’s no contradiction between a sound environment and strong economic growth. And remind everyone who represents you at every level of government that sheltering future generations against the ravages of climate change is a prerequisite for your vote. Make yourself heard on this issue. It has been said by many what a coincidence this weather event took place in Alberta where the oil sands have been labeled the biggest threat to mankind. The five billion that it will take to rebuild the damage should come directly out of the pockets of the oil companies, fix what’s happened before creating more of the same. Call it accountability.

headed north. When they got up to D’Arcy Island, they all started milling around and at some point I saw a big spray into the air. Then a roll of something big, a whale, and I knew that they were whale watchers. A few more boats arrived. This flotilla followed the whale all the way up to the cliffs at the south end of James Island. After a while, they started milling around again but there didn’t seem to be any whale. A couple of the boats left, back towards Sidney and the crab boats never did join in. Moments later, the whale breached and was headed south. The boats also spotted it and they took off after the whale as fast as their engines would go, rooster tails in back and spray in front. They drove the animal into Cordova Bay, where once again they milled around. After a while, your heart sinks and you just can’t watch any more. I don’t have the authority to revoke the licenses of these whale watchers, but if I had been the commander of a gun emplacement on shore, I would have been sorely tempted to sink every last one of them.

There are certainly divergent views on the flow of traffic on Beacon Avenue (re: Mr. Tanner’s letter in the June 21 PNR). The majority of businesses we have spoken to support the idea of increasing traffic in front of their stores. The concept of a one way street is to move traffic and commuters quickly through a given area, not a concept our local store owners and businesses generally support. We need visitors to be welcomed into Sidney from all directions and to that end we have made our proposal to the Town. Our proposal is that the flow of traffic be reversed on one lane of Beacon Avenue. We have suggested the sidewalks, plantings and sculptures remain to maintain the streetscape as it currently exists. The street will not need to be widened, nor will it need a lot of money. We should take advantage of the roundabout at the north end of Beacon to have visitors go back up Beacon from the waterfront and not sling shot them to side streets. The Town has done an amazing job of creating a feel on Beacon that entices our visitors to linger. We just now need to create the awareness that we are all LeBlanc goes too far here, to invite those visitors in and to encourage them to stay a while.

Society needs support I find it sickening Central Saanich council would act in such a hurtful manner towards Woodwynn farm and Richard Leblanc’s Creating Homefulness So society. What a childish and pitiful way to teach our children about caring and respect for those who can use our help. Central Saanich council has chosen to crush this hard working society with paperwork and bureaucracy in order to keep their neighbourhood clean. The building in question is clearly very solid. It has been restored with great care and obvious love. Central Saanich council is trying to knock the legs out from under this society. Mr. LeBlanc and the people who work with him are doing something courageous and beautiful and the project could become a model for other cities. It is my view that this farm should be supported at all costs. Deryk Houston Victoria

Among the four British Columbia regions surveyed, the Okanagan/Thompson/Shuswap was the only region that recorded a vacancy rate higher than a year ago. The average monthly rent for independent living suites in British Columbia increased by nearly three per cent to reach $2,747 in 2013. Average rent levels varied by region within British Columbia due to differences in the cost of land and the selection and cost of services offered. — CMHC

Boys and Girls Club is looking for a new space Central Saanich council recommended their choice for location of a new facility Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Central Saanich Boys and Girls Club is a small step closer to finding a new home in the heart of Brentwood Bay. In May, the group made a presentation to council concerning the deterioration of their facility located behind the United Church in Brentwood Bay. The facility is in a state of deterioration and needs major upgrades, but the property belonging to the United Church that the facility is on is also possibly up for redevelopment in coming years. As a result, the group is looking for a new location to build a modest facility, preferably somewhere in the heart of Brentwood they said. On May 21, council directed Central Saanich staff to look into the possibilities available in Brentwood where a new facility could be built.

Grant OK - with conditions NORTH SAANICH — The district will apply for a B.C. Healthy Communities grant to co-host a Peninsula-wide forum on community-supported agriculture, after requested to do so by Central Saanich councillor Alicia Cormier. Cormier asked Elsie McMurphy to see if North Saanich had an interest in taking part. Councillor McMurphy presented the idea to her peers on June 24 and they supported the idea — but not without some caveats. “How much will it cost and what’s it all about,” asked Coun. Dunstan Browne. McMurphy said the idea is to earn the grant money — a maximum of $5,000 per municipality — to facilitate a forum to seek ideas on ways to enhance local food and the agriculture economy. She said the proposal would see local governments, including First Nations, collaborate. Council agreed to have its staff apply for the grant — its deadline is June 30 — with the stipulation that no further district money would be involved and that the district would have no obligation after any such forum. — Steven Heywood

McBride noted that it could have ramifications to places like the Muse Winery which is having issues with off-site event parking. “Mr. Jones will probably be busy,” she said, “so I am not crazy about this bylaw.” Browne, who missed the
last debate on the bylaw, said he wanted another entire section removed from the bylaw — one that set out allowing enforcement officers reasonable access to property subject to the regulations of the bylaw, “in order to ascertain whether such regulations or directions are being obeyed.” “When you start doing

that,” said Browne, “allowing enforcement people to break fundamental property rights, I have a problem.” Jones said that local government regulations do allow officers to be on people’s property, but not in a home. He said it’s a necessity in the case of an investigation. Chief administrative officer Rob
Buchan noted the bylaw had been reviewed by the municipal lawyer and given the green light. The majority of council decided the one subsection of the bylaw did not warrant delaying it any longer, rejected Browne and McBride’s proposal to delay the vote, and passed it.

Director of Planning and Building Services Bruce Greig said that the land, although originally slated as expansion space for the two existing facilities, also has the capacity to extend on the back side facing the park should the facilities ever want to grow. “The seniors centre, the library and cultural centre and Panorama, who all use the site, would of course be consulted,” said Greig. Council voted unanimously to recommend the site in front of the library and seniors centre. Staff will now investigate further to see if the piece of land will be feasible for the proposed building. “The Boys and Girls Club is an extremely valued member of our community and we appreciate all the work you do,” said Bryson at the end of the meeting. The next meeting of Central Saanich council is slated for July 22.

tions might be more difficult.” “Site B has some advantages over site D, including the zoning already being in place,” said Mayor Alastair Bryson. He added that timing seemed like a priority to the Boys and Girls Club and that site B would be the fastest to approve since it’s already zoned appropriately. “I [also] have some significant reservations about tying up the land [for option C},” said Bryson in reference to the land facing onto Lucille Drive which has been looked at as having potential redevelopment value for seniors housing or a community garden. Councillors Cathie Ounsted, Carl Jensen and Zeb King also echoed Bryson’s choice for option B, but Coun. Alicia Cormier had some reservations about the library and seniors centre’s future expansion plans and if they might be hampered by the building being placed in such close proximity.

The new gift shop, which unofficially opened May 29, is about 40 per cent larger than before noted Padget, and features a new, expanded selection of merchandise and more space for displays. The grand opening ceremony was attended by members of the Auxiliary and the Foundation as well as hospital staff and media. “You’re wonderful assets to our community,” said Hospital Foundation president, Gordon Benn of the SPHA and their work. Benn also added that Hopital Foundation board voted unanimously to support the extra funds being given to the Auxiliary to complete the gift shop renovations. The Auxiliary has been actively serving Saanich Peninsula Hospital since 1974 and in that time has donated over $1.5 million to the foundation. The Auxiliary is made up of 115 volunteers who
serve in different aspects of the fundraising efforts put on by the group including the gift shop and the annual Christmas Bazaar. In addition to fundraising, the Auxiliary also provides services within the hospital designed to aid patient care and comfort, like special birthday parties for extended care residents, support for the Volunteen Group and the provision of public relations and receptionist services to the Mobile Screening Mammography Clinic. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
