Farm land trust proposal planted North Saanich to ask the CRD about forming an acquisition fund Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich will ask the Capital Regional District and other municipalities to consider creating a regional farmland trust and acquisition fund.

Sparked by a notice of motion from Mayor Alice Finall in May, District staff presented council with a recommendation on Oct. 6 to ask the CRD and other communities if they would consider acquiring agricultural land and lease it to farmers.

Finall said this request is only the beginning, with the goal of establishing a trust to help support local farming. She added a similar trust already exists within the region — The Farmlands Trust, a not-for-profit organization outside of the municipal scope — which has already expressed an interest in getting involved. The difference in this suggestion, Finall continued, is a broader mandate and a proposed trust with additional buy-in from municipalities in Greater Victoria.

Councillor Celia Stock said she supports this idea, noting Saanich recently bought back land (Panama Flats) to go into the Agricultural Land Reserve.

“It’s good for all parts of Vancouver Island with arable land,” she said.

finall seeks third term in district On amalgamation and housing policy, Finall says North Saanich residents need to be asked Steven Heywood News staff

Alice Finall is hoping this municipal election will provide a return to a co-operative, well-led council in the District of North Saanich — like the council she led two terms ago.

Finall is running for a third term as mayor of the community and unlike three years ago when she retained the mayor’s chair by acclamation, she is facing a trio of challengers this time around. She said the encouragement of residents spurred on her decision to seek a third mayoral term — and she admits she wants to get the taste of the last term of office out of her mouth.

Finall was decidedly in the minority on council since 2011, opposing what she calls “unplanned and dramatic urban level increases in residential housing.”

Her stance on this issue, as well as battles between two distinct camps on council, made for sometimes long and combative sessions. The current term saw Finall replaced

Handout

Alice Finall says housing policy will be the top issue in North Saanich this fall. as the community’s director for the Capital Regional District by her political opponents, a council that had to undergo mediation to improve their working relationship and a general lack of decorum that caused residents to react negatively.

“I kept struggling to reach people with good communication and consultation on major initiatives,” she said.

Her first term as mayor

saw large public meetings on issues such as the proposed Sandown lands development and fire hall upgrade, as well as a return to holding neighbourhood meetings. Finall said that she tried to honour that during this current term.

“You can’t legislate good behaviour,” Finall noted. “I tried to always maintain a high level of respect and decorum, but the mayor only has one vote. I tried to reinforce the rules but was overruled by council several times.”

Finall said she hopes this election brings a change for the better.

Most of council’s animosity grew out of housing issues in the district. Finall said council this term made significant changes to the 2007 official community plan. In 2011, Finall discouraged council from undertaking a full review of the OCP — now she said she wants to see the document put to the community for just that.

Neighbours to a property on Ebor Terrace in North Saanich spoke out against a proposed rezoning of the land from one to two lots but council’s majority were unmoved and voted to advance the change.

Laurel Westinghouse, whose mother lives behind the property, told council on Oct. 6 they were opposed to the rezoning that would allow a second house to be built, essentially cutting off their view and affecting the value of the property.

Councillor Ted Daly said the land in question is subject to a covenant restricting height and floor space of any new building.

“No one is guaranteed a view,” Daly added. “There is a covenant in place and on balance, I support the (rezoning) bylaw.”

Coun. Craig Mearns agreed.

“We’re not in the business of guaranteeing people that they’ll always have their view,” he said.

With Daly, Mearns and councillors Conny McBride and Dunstan Browne forming their usual voting block, that left Mayor Alice Finall and councillor Elsie McMurphy and Celia Stock again

in the minority position.

“This is indicative of the public and my concerns over spot rezoning and its negative impact,” said McMurphy.

She said the historical pattern in the Ebor Terrace area is for view lots, which is now under threat by the amount of rezoning requests coming in.

Daly, however said that’s an overstatement.

“I bet there have been only six or seven subdivision requests there in the last nine years,” he said. “The sky is not falling.”

Finall called the majority’s penchant for spot rezoning “a virus on the OCP.” Final approval of the rezoning is expected at council’s regular meeting of Oct. 20.

and would want clarification on land maintenance responsibility.

While supportive of the idea, McBride said it’s important for ratepayers to know the costs.

Coun. Craig Mearns said he’s wary of perceived socialized farming and the costs of the project if the CRD is involved, yet in the final vote he supported it.

The only opposition to the recommendation

came from councillor Ted Daly and Dunstan Browne. Browne said he is skeptical about the CRD in the first place, adding giving them carte blanche on something like this needs a second thought.

Daly said he couldn’t support the recommendation because no one else is asking for a regional farmland trust and this action only stems from the may-

or’s suggestion back in May. He also noted that the District is in the process of obtaining agricultural land in the deal to obtain most of the former Sandown Race Track property.

He said farmers aren’t currently asking to use that land.

“Where’s the demand to farm the land coming out of (the Sandown deal)?” Daly asked. “I just don’t see it.”

Town grants $6,000 extension to BIA

Like us on

Facebook

Money will allow for three-months’ grace Steven Heywood News staff

A three-month extension has been granted to the Town of Sidney’s agreement with the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (SBIAS) to partially fund an event liaison and facilitator contractors.

SBIAS board member Susan Simosko says the memorandum of understanding between the parties expires at the end of December. She said they want to ensure funding carried through the November municipal election and covers the upcoming Family Day weekend in February.

“Given the new council’s term of office (starts after Nov. 15), we are seeking three months’ grace to extend the MoU from January 1 to March 30, 2015,” she said.

The Town’s share of the threemonth extension is $6,000. The BIA will cover the remaining $6,000 out of their annual requisition of fees from downtown area businesses.

The events liaison position is currently held by Donna Petrie, the

SBIAS’ executive director. Under the year-long MoU, both the Town and BIA contribute $20,000 for the position and various contract workers.

Simosko said they will hire a contractor to facilitate Family Day events.

She added Tom Watson was hired under a short-term contract through December to facilitate their Christmas in Sidney program of events and promotions.

Councillor Mervyn LougherGoodey said he supports the BIA in this.

“This is one of the most successful projects I’ve seen, as a team effort between the Town and the BIA,” he said.

Coun. Marilyn Loveless added she has witnessed the successful work done by Petrie and said she didn’t want to be the one to put a stop to all the momentum created by the BIA thus far.

Council approved the extension unanimously. Simosko pointed out both parties plan to renegotiate a new memorandum of understanding in March of next year.

“I think the people of North Saanich are fed up with the leadership of the council of the day,” he said.

Miller said the animosity between councillors and bad behaviour seen over the course of the last term has a lot to do with leadership.

“If performed properly, that seeps down to the other councillors and to staff. Things did get done this last term but at a very slow pace.

Better leadership starts at the top.”

Miller considers much of council’s actions in regards to its animosity towards each other this term as questionable and something he hopes to change. The kicker for him, he continued, was the spending of tax

NEWS REVIEW REVIEW NEWS

Finall seeks good policy Continued from page 3

The change of position, she said, came after seeing just how far council went in changing local housing policy.

“I had no idea the extent that the majority of council wanted to go,” she explained.

“People felt blindsided.

I don’t think people had any idea this was the direction they wanted to take.”

Community planning and policy direction is now this fall election’s main issue in North Saanich, she said.

“We need to have an OCP review. We can’t revise everything that’s been done, such as existing permit approvals. Those that have been approved will go ahead. Until others reach that stage, they could be stopped, depending on council.”

Finall is basing much of her 2014 campaign on holding an OCP review with a specific look at housing policy — from density to affordable options.

District residents will also face a decision at the polls on the question of amalgamation.

North Saanich decided to put a referendum on the ballot, asking “Are you in favour of a study, provincially funded, to investigate the feasibility, costs and implications of amalgamating the three municipalities on the Saanich Peninsula of Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich?”

Finall said council is concerned amalgamation could cause tax increases. Yet, she agreed that residents need to be asked if they approve of the next council seeming more information on the issue. Depending on the result on Nov. 15, further action may proceed.

Finall said her campaign this fall is one of seeking good policy direction in North Saanich.

“We need good planning for major changes and those decisions made this last term have not been planned.

The major threat to rural community is urban sprawl and … the costs of this have not been anticipated.”

Finall, a retired lawyer, was first elected mayor in 2008 and has 14 years of municipal council experience.

Amalgamation a stretch in North Saanich Continued from page 6

Miller said to bring council into a better working relationship, it all starts with the mayor. He said he’s approaching the job with an open mind and no particular agenda.

Yet, he said he will not tolerate bad behaviour and try to raise his and the public’s expectations of council. In the end, he hopes such action will bring about efficiencies in how council operates.

While Miller said he doesn’t think North Saanich has serious issues, he agrees housing policy has been top of mind in the community. Miller added he feels council has been on the right track on housing development, but at too fast a pace.

“If North Saanich had made land rezonings on a slower pace over the last 10 years, people probably would not be as up in arms as they have been.”

Miller said the prodevelopment council majority pushed through some longstanding housing projects, “if you can call three years being pushed through.”

Miller said he thinks there needs to be more diversity in housing in North Saanich and a review of the official community plan is needed “to iron out a lot of things.” He is not calling for a full OCP review, but a look at zoning and housing issues.

Yes or No. Miller added he thinks there is no such thing as affordable housing when it comes specifically to market housing. He said more and more people are looking for smaller lots and smaller homes as they maintain busy lives.

Deodorant

Every day millions of women slap on body moisturizer, apply lipstick or mascara without a second thought about what they are putting on their skin. A study from the UK claims that the average woman applies more than 500 chemicals to her body every day during her beauty routine.

Why should you be concerned?

Chemicals such as parabens (a synthetic preservative in everything from toothpaste to shampoo) and phthalates (a class of chemicals that are found in many “fragranced” beauty products such as lotions, perfumes and deodorants) are classified as xenoestrogens. Xenoestrogens mimic our natural estrogens creating hormone chaos by increasing the total amount of estrogen, resulting in a condition called estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance has been implicated in many conditions including: breast and prostate cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, early onset puberty, hormonal acne and PMS.

No accounting for space Sidney approves plan to create commercial space registry Steven Heywood News staff

Until now, the Town of Sidney did not keep track of just how many commercial spaces were vacant in its business community.

That will change after they agreed to contribute $4,000 out of its economic development fund. They will add that cash to the same amount put up by the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (SBIAS). The plan is to create a registry of vacant commercial space. Donna Petrie, the SBIAS’ executive director, says it will provide detailed options for businesses seeking to relocate in Sidney’s downtown area or the West Sidney industrial park. She estimated the project would begin this fall and be complete by early 2015.

Councillor Melissa Hailey asked how the registry would be found be people looking for commercial space.

Petrie said it would be included in the SBIAS’ website and that of the municipality. The registry could also be linked to many other websites, Petrie continued,

Sidney’s downtown Business Improvement Area Society will develop a commercial space registry to help potential business owners find an appropriate location in town. and kept updated regularly by the BIA office.

Coun.

Mervyn L o u g h e r - G o o d e y, playing devil’s advocate, said it has been reported that Sidney has around 40 empty storefronts out of an estimated 380 businesses operating in town.

“So, that’s around a 10 per cent vacancy rate,” he said, asking if the registry would be keeping track of the actual square footage

of the vacant spaces.

Petrie noted that would be the case and the registry would include photos, the number of parking spaces available and more.

“I wish we had this months ago,” said Coun. Marilyn Loveless.

She said she was troubled by attacks made on Sidney that made it sound like downtown Sidney “was boarded up.”

“But we didn’t have (information like this) at our fingertips ... to be able to stop the innuendo in its tracks.”

This project approval, noted Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble, depletes the Town’s economic development fund. He added, however, that the Town expects to receive around $10,000 in street market revenue this year and that can be used by council.

OUR VIEW

New land trust a hard sell

W

ill North Saanich’s idea of a new trust created to acquire more farmland in Greater Victoria take root?

That is a very good question.

While the concept of a region-wide farmland trust and acquisition trust seems to be coming from the right place, it just might not be realistic.

On the surface of the problem lies the fact that farmland, when it becomes available, is very expensive. Longtime farming families sometimes use that property value to finance their retirement.

Unless a farmer, or farming company, has the capital to take it on, that land will get a lot of pressure by land developers.

By no means is There doesn’t that example the and fast rule to seem to be anyone hard farmland exchange, chomping at the bit but it’s generally accepted that new to farm it farmers trying to obtain enough land to make their business profitable are few and far between.

The local food movement certainly makes the idea of acquiring more or existing farmland before it’s lost sounds reasonable. Yet, due to that cost, it will take some doing to convince regional municipalities to contribute enough to make the program worthwhile.

In North Saanich, the district has the potential to gain farmland in a pair of land deals. The former Sandown race track is proposing to give the municipality most of its property in exchange for a significant commercial development area close to the highway. The owners of Glen Meadows Golf and Country Club are proposing to close the course, shave off a bit of land for large lot housing and donate the lion’s share to the district as additional farmland.

Both proposals could be good for area farmers but as pointed out by Councillor Ted Daly this week, there doesn’t seem to be anyone chomping at the bit to farm it.

To be fair, it’s still early and those projects have not yet begun. The future of that land — and North Saanich’s regional land acquisition trust — is still up in the air.

YOUR VIEW

Don’t destroy what keeps us alive We do need the city but we also need our green environment, the space, the fresh air, the agricultural land for food production. How should we feed all those people in a time of emergency?

To build more and call it “progress” is very misleading. If the city spreads and creeps over the land and swallows the last remaining green space, everybody will suffer.

We are being told more development would bring in more money and reduce the tax. The opposite is true. More development will cost money, taxes will rise, crime will increase, air pollution will endanger our health and traffic will become a nightmare.

Drive out to Canora Road and judge for yourself. Is this how you would like your community to look like? This kind of development will only serve the developer, not the community, nor those who can’t afford their own house. In addition, with the future development on Sandown land, more Sidney shops will close and the rural atmosphere will be lost.

We all know we can’t trust election promises. However, to withdraw into our own little world is not a solution either.

Let’s freeze all future development and demand a full OCP review.

No council of the day can change it without the consent of the community. It’s time to say no to irresponsible destruction of former agricultural land.

We must take action now before it’s too late. Don’t destroy what was meant to keep us alive. Let’s take back our community and vote for those who protect the land and listen to us residents.

Hildegard Horie North Saanich

Vote for the environment

I feel the primary responsibility of our local government, and government at all levels is to ensure that its citizens have clean drinking water, unpolluted air and protection of our land as a food source.

In Sidney, North Saanich and Central Saanich, that also means that we need protection for our ocean water as well. Before we go to the polls, we need to find out who the candidates are and who will work to protect our beautiful peninsula. We all need to go to the all-candidates meetings, ask questions and then vote.

The forums hosted by the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce would like the questions sent to them ahead of time. Visit www.peninsulachamber.ca for the forum details.

Vote for someone who is concerned about our environment, and is committed to vote and stand up for us on this important issue.

Judy Gwynn-Williams Sidney

Remember the coastline I have six grandchildren. This past Thanksgiving weekend we all took turns listing the things we are thankful for.

I am proud to say that our family cares very much about the environment. We have a beautiful province situated on the north and west coat of the country. It is worthy of protection because much of it is unique and endangered, including the kelp forests, sponge reefs, salmon breeding areas and whales.

We, the public, must not forget Enbridge, who want to send mega

super tankers down our coast, and Kinder Morgan, who want to double the amount of oil carried through their pipelines, are still an issue. A spill is inevitable.

In this fall’s municipal elections, please find out which of the candidates for mayor and council will send the message from us, the people of the Saanich Peninsula, to say no to increased tanker intrusion and risk. Let’s defend the coast.

Be diligent, attend meetings and forums. Your voice will be heard.

Lynda Comber Sidney

What is common good?

Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher’s analysis of jurisdiction regarding pipeline expansion and oil distribution in B.C. ignores one important fact. I have one postal address and one primary residence, one planet on which to live. I also am governed by three political jurisdictions that are supposed to manage “the common good” on behalf of all. None do so.

I pay taxes and idealize that some official somewhere will handle environmental issues in sustainable ways. Not so.

No wonder I am an alienated citizen, disgusted with public sector overexpenditures and irresponsibilities regarding basic survival. I do vote! And I am delighted that some new faces and names are appearing on ballot lists.

My hope is that other voters will listen to these unknown candidates.

Somewhere among them are future leaders who will help guide us to a more viable Canada.

Jennifer Alberring on behalf of the Sidney Elementary Teaching Staff I recently absentmindedly forgot my bank/cheque portfolio (with a large cheque to be deposited) on top of my car. It apparently rode happily up there for a few kilometers before flying of onto the side of Wain Road near Russell Nursery.

I would like to express my gratitude to two good samaritans for bailing me out of my dilemma.

Firstly I’d like to thank the woman who apparently followed me into Sidney and anonymously left a note on my windshield telling me where I had lost it. Secondly, thanks to Tyler Hasebe who picked it up and ultimately called me and waited to meet and return it to me (on his way home at the end of the day). Thanks to you both!

A very special bouquet to the staff at the Mary Winspear Centre for their patience and support, always with smiles as they facilitated the installation of my modest art exhibit in one of the foyer display cases.

Their help was invaluable, too, in helping me plan the opening reception for friends and family. We are so very fortunate to have such a cultural facility in our community.

M. Joanne Taylor The teachers at Sidney Elementary School would like to sincerely thank our community for the overwhelming support you demonstrated to us while we were on the picket line. The countless waves, smiles, and honks were uplifting every day.

Thank you to the many students, families and community members who stopped by to chat, ask questions, see how we were doing and drop off goodies.

Thank you also to our CUPE colleagues for walking by our side and thank you to our administrators for taking such good care of us with drinks and shelter. We will miss greeting and talking to our local seniors and neighbours as

Kickoff to Christmas launches Nov. 21 in downtown Sidney Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney’s Kickoff to Christmas is a little more than a month away and organizers with the Sidney Business Improvement Area Society (SBIAS) are promising a little bit of wonder to celebrate the season.

On that day, Petrie said they’re going to have a Christmas Grotto at the corner of Beacon Avenue and Fifth Street near Alexander’s Coffee. This will be a central place where families can visit Santa, get

Many businesses, Petrie said, will stay open until 8 p.m. This will coincide with a variety of activities being planned — including horse and carriage rides between 5 and 8 p.m. in the downtown area. Other ideas for the Thursday night shopping extension include carollers, window decorations and more. Petrie added the Town is involved and may participate more closely, but noted it’s early days yet.

“I’ve never seen better cooperation between the Town and what is essentially a volunteer group,” added SBIAS board member Susan Simosko.

Alongside the Kickoff to Christmas, the SBIAS is putting out Sidney’s Christmas Wish Book.

Akin to the famous holiday shopping catalog, Petrie said the SBIAS product will feature pages of event schedules, a calendar covering things to see and do across the Saanich Peninsula and more.

“It really will be the guide to Christmas,” Petrie said, noting the Wish Book will be distributed into Victoria as well.

The holiday season, she continued, is an important one, both for businesses and residents. The SBIAS wants to ensure a full experience to people while they visit downtown Sidney. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Philip Buytendorp to show in Sidney Painter opens show featuring Canadian landscapes at Sidney’s Peninsula Gallery this weekend Devon MacKenzie News staff

Artist Philip Buytendorp will show a large collection of new paintings at Peninsula Gallery this weekend.

Buytendorp was born in Brandon, Manitoba into a family of respected artists.

A one-time resident of Piers Island, Buytendorp went on extended painting trips with his father throughout his boyhood, travelling throughout the prairies and the Canadian Shield.

He then studied art at the Brandon Allied Arts Center in 1978/79.

From 1981 to ‘86, Buytendorp worked in construction in Calgary, but he spent his weekends sketching and painting the landscapes of the Rocky Mountain foothills.

Soon after, he would move to the Fraser Valley and start a five year apprenticeship under the direction of his father.

Camry undergoes major update

SPECIAL

OIL CHANGE PACKAGES

By Zack Spencer

Charlotte, NC – The launch for the heavily updated Toyota Camry took place here in the heart of NASCAR country.

Along the drive route, there were several NASCAR stops, one at the Hall of Fame, and another at Joe Gibbs Racing and a third at the Charlotte Motor Speedway. This was all to emphasize just how American the Camry has become.

The chief engineer of the 2015 Camry is from Michigan, not Japan, as was the case with the rest of the crew that updated over 2000 parts on this latest sedan. It is the most popular passenger car in North America and number one in the United States. However, that is not the case in Canada, where it lies third in the Toyota lineup behind the Corolla and RAV4.

Looks

When a car is typically refreshed, the designers add a new front bumper, grille headlights and rear taillights and call it a day. Not the case here, the 2015 Toyota Camry has allnew sheet metal, providing a sleeker and more eye-catching design. The wheelbase remains the same length but the track, side-to-side has been widened for more stability.

The overall length is only slightly longer, in the nose, to help achieve the more polished look. The interesting thing is this new more youthful design actually makes the car look smaller, mostly due to the less slab-sided look used in the previous car and the tightly wrapped lines and shapes.

There is a new trim level in the Camry lineup, the XSE, sportier looking trim that enabled Toyota to lower the price of the, still sporty, SE trim by $2,000 to $24,990. In addition the SE trim has been added to the Hybrid model, enabling buyers of that efficient car to also enjoy a more distinctive design.

trim. The centre stack now has bigger buttons and rotary dials for ease of use, a welcome update for older buyers.

To appeal to younger intenders, the Camry has the latest connectivity and on the top XLE models a wireless charging system in the centre cubby but the phone either needs a special sleeve or integrated wireless charging technology.

Not just happy to make a more appealing looking car, the engineers also went about improving the ride, handling and noise inside the car. The track of the wheels has been widened and the lower end models also get wider wheels for improved feedback but the biggest change is to the steering feel. The Camry is equipped with electric power steering and these systems have been notorious for poor feedback to the driver. This new 2015 Camry is a big step foreword. Straight-line stability has been improved and the car, with a more rigid platform and slightly stiffer springs and shocks, is now sending good feedback to the driver.

CASH PURCHASE INCENTIVE ON SELECT 2014 MODELS Starting from MSRP $19,990** includes freight and PDI

MODEL: Civic Si FB6E5EKV

2014 ACCORD UP TO

3000*

A new fuel consumption rating system kicks in for all 2015 model year new cars and light trucks. The Government of Canada has finally approved the five-cycle test method, already used in the US since 2008. In general, those predicted fuel consumption figures on the EnerGuide label (on every new vehicle) will increase somewhere in the 10 to 20 per cent range, compared to a similar, or even identical, 2014 model year vehicle.

As before, vehicle manufacturers are required to submit fuel consumption data to the federal government based on controlled laboratory testing procedures. This is done in order to produce results that are consistent and repeatable and includes the use of standardized fuels, test cycles and calculations. The underlying objective is to give a Canadian consumer making a new vehicle purchase decision an accurate and reliable way to compare fuel consumption.

The three additional test cycles, added to the old two-cycle testing method, include cold temperature operation, air conditioner usage, and driving at higher speeds with more rapid acceleration and braking. Cars, roads and motoring habits have changed over the years and the new five-cycle test was designed to better simulate modern driving.

That said, and also as before, an owner’s actual on-road fuel consumption is still likely to be different, although closer to the new government test numbers. Real life fuel consumption not only varies depending on how and where you drive, it can also change with traffic, the weather, after dark and a bunch of other less obvious factors.

If you want to check how your current vehicle would fare (and compare) in the five-cycle test, Natural Resources Canada (nrcan.gc.ca) has an online calculation tool

that gives approximate fuel economy numbers for vehicles going all the way back to 1995. This is the web link: http://oee. nrcan.gc.ca/fcr-rcf/ public/index-e.cfm The more fuel a vehicle burns is directly related to the amount of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, it pumps out the tailpipe.

So, not only does a more fuel efficient vehicle cost less to operate, it also has reduced environmental impact. Fuel economy now transcends the small car market and is an important concern for buyers in just about every vehicle market segment.

It’s also why fuel economy has become an increasingly important in the marketing of new vehicles, especially in the high-volume market segments. The car business is a highly competitive one and, as you might expect, auto makers try to build vehicles that do well, and get low numbers, in the government fuel economy test. Major technological changes are also happening in the fuel economy race. Smaller and more efficient gasoline engines are available, hybrid vehicle sales are taking off, plugin hybrid vehicles are becoming more common and the pure electric vehicle is a competitive production reality. So, even the term “fuel consumption� may become obsolete, sometime in the future.

Right now, however, if you walk into a new car dealership showroom, you’ll probably find both 2014 and 2015 editions of the same model vehicle for sale, side-by-side. If you don’t notice the asterisked note under the EnerGuide fuel consumption figure on the 2015, it’s easy to assume that it’s a less fuel efficient vehicle and that’s almost certainly not correct.

The 2015 EnerGuide fuel consumption figure is simply more realistic and closer to what you’re likely to experience during dayto-day driving in the real world. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

“However the system does not cover all the associated costs that come in situations like this,” Podmore explained, adding that funds raised during the barbecue will go towards to the Sidney family’s travel and accommodation costs while at Children’s Hospital.

The Burgers for Baby Piper barbecue will take place Saturday, Oct. 25 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sidney SaveOn Foods.

“There will be Halloween activities for the kids and a silent auction for the adults,” said Podmore.

Local TV personality Ed Bain will be flipping burgers and singer Tom Watson will be providing entertainment, he added.

“We have the opportunity to help this family so I urge anyone who can to come and support this event.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Peter Lewis estimates there will be 650 people coming to Sidney in May of next year to celebrate the rhododendron, contributing a significant amount of money to the local economy.

The western branch of the American Rhododendron Society is holding its 2015 convention at the Mary Winspear Centre. Lewis, representing the Society at Sidney council this week, listed off the potential benefits to the community as he asked town council for a donation towards a street banner program.

Lewis said the convention had been courted by the City of Victoria as well, but the Mary Winspear Centre management offered better persuasion to the organizers to come to Sidney, he said.

“This will focus more of the delegates in Sidney, rather than being spread out throughout Victoria,” he said.

Lewis pointed to statistics from the Mary Winspear Centre that show visitors to the area spend an estimated $380 per day — on things such as hotel rooms, meals and more. Over the three days of the conference in May, Lewis said the event could see that large financial infusion infusion into the local economy.

Councillors went for it and agreed to fund the banner program to the tune of $4,200. The money will help fund the creation of the banners and cover the cost of their design, featuring the socalled Champagne Lace’ rhodo, which Lewis said will be revealed for the first time publicly during the convention. The municipality will also cover the cost of municipal staff time in putting them up and taking them down.

As well, Sidney plans on proclaiming May 2015 as Rhododendron Month in the community. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

VICTORIA — Members of the Royal Astronomy Society of Canada (RASC) Victoria Centre plan to have their telescopes and viewing equipment out on Mount Tolmie for the solar eclipse that will be visible from Victoria the afternoon of Thursday, October 23.

The moon will move across the face of the sun as seen from Greater Victoria starting at 1:32 p.m. that day and ending at 4:19 p.m.

proper filters when viewing the eclipse.

It should also be noted that even with more than half the sun being covered, the eclipse will not be noticeable to people who are not viewing the sun.

RASC Victoria members will gather on top of Mount Tolmie to view the eclipse if weather permits throughout the length of the eclipse, and it is possible that RASC members may set up their telescopes elsewhere around Greater Victoria.

Telescopes will be fitted with solar filters, and glasses with solar filters will be available for use.

At the midpoint of the eclipse at 2:58 p.m., about 55 per cent of the sun’s surface will be covered by the moon, as seen from Victoria.

An RASC media release noted this week that it is important that solar eclipses only be viewed through specially filtered telescopes or filtered glasses.

Looking at solar eclipses without this equipment could result in serious damage to the eyes.

RASC members will use the

Ebola response lacking, warns nurses union head

Provincial Health Officer says more must be done to prepare health workers Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C.’s nurses are legitimately scared about Ebola but haven’t been adequately trained to safely treat patients and avoid risking themselves or spreading the deadly virus to the broader population, according to their union president.

B.C. Nurses Union president Gayle Duteil detailed her concerns Tuesday in a letter to regional health authorities after three suspected Ebola cases turned up in Lower Mainland hospitals but were ultimately ruled out.

Duteil said Fraser Health and other health regions are not ready to respond to the arrival of an Ebola case.

A union survey found nurses in units designated to isolate and treat Ebola patients haven’t yet been suf-

ficiently trained in using protective gear to avoid infection.

Duteil is calling for immediate action to plug gaps in Ebola response planning, along with detailed simulations for front line staff.

“This cannot wait until there is another suspected case in an ER within the province,” she said. “If the health system wants our members to put themselves at risk of exposure to a deadly disease we expect that every reasonable precaution be put in place on a priority basis.”

Provincial Health Officer Dr. Perry Kendall acknowledged more must be done and said he will co-chair a committee to review protocols and coordinate efforts by the health authorities.

“Our first priority will be on establishing the processes to familiarize or refamiliarize health care workers with per-

– Gaye Duteil sonal protective equipment so if they have to use it they can use it safely and confidently,” Kendall told reporters.

He said health authorities may disagree with the BCNU assessment that they are unprepared. But Kendall said the handling of each of the three recent suspect cases – two of which were hospitalized in Surrey and Vancouver before being ruled out – turned up issues in need of improvement. He described those cases as low to medium risk.

The risk from Ebola to the general public in B.C. is “van-

ishingly small, if not zero,” Kendall added.

Although suspect patients in B.C. to date have turned out not to have Ebola, public health officials expect health workers here will be confronted with the real thing.

More suspect cases are also likely since about 40 people a month arrive here from West Africa and some are likely to display flu-like symptoms – two factors that trigger isolation and further assessment.

The BCNU letter warns the union has advised members to only care for suspected Ebola patients if they’ve been provided proper equipment and training.

It also urges improved procedures on cleaning and handling garbage, protocols on handling the deceased and asks what contingency plans will be in place when ERs are already full.

Cities want medical pot grows revealed Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. cities have once again demanded Health Canada give them the addresses of licensed medical marijuana growers so they can mount inspections in the name of public safety.

The City of Abbots-

Cities fear unpermitted alterations, illegal rewiring and mould pose a risk not just to current residents but

those who may in the future buy former growops that aren’t remediated.

“The safety of our residents and the safety of people buying these homes has to be paramount,” Abbotsford Mayor Bruce Banman told the most recent UBCM convention, held in Whistler last month.

He said there are just four Health Canada inspectors to check licensed medical home grows in all of western Canada, adding they could not inspect all of the licensed sites in Abbotsford alone if they were dedicated to his city for a year.

Banman said there are 829 licensed medical growers in Abbotsford and more than 900 – representing 20 per cent of the homes – in nearby Mission.

“I believe there would be significant public opposition to utilizing gas to generate all of that electricity. It’s not totally off the table but it isn’t something that I think has legs.”

Bennett said the cost of wind, solar and other renewable energy is dropping, but private alternatives would have to include the costs of power lines and backup power for intermittent sources.

Studies of natural gas power generation and private clean energy projects are continuing, and a recommendation to cabinet will be made in November, Bennett said.

Studies have shown equivalent natural gas power plants would be “marginally cheaper” than Site C, which would provide 8.5 per cent of the province’s electricity supply but would require amending the province’s clean

Bennett was responding to this week’s decision by the federal and B.C. environment ministries to recommend construction of the Site C dam, which would flood another 83 km of the Peace River valley near Fort St. John.

Bennett said some people have incorrectly interpreted the environmental assessment certificates as a green light for the project.

Jones, Glyn June 22, 1910 September 25, 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x153;A Full Life â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Well Livedâ&#x20AC;?

Born in Camarthen, Wales, Glyn at age 18 became a Maroni Wireless Officer, emigrated to Halifax, N.S. and started his career as a Radio Officer on a steam fishing trawler. In 1939 at the outbreak of WW2 he became a Flight Navigator/Radio Officer with the then civilian Canadian Pacific sponsored Atlantic Ferry Organization (AtFerO) prior to it being absorbed into the later RAF Ferry Command.

He crewed the first Hudson Bomber delivered transatlantic non-stop from Canada to Prestwick, Scotland, serving a combined Service total of 10 years. He delivered many different types of aircraft to most War Zones.

Post War, Glyn worked for Air France overseeing the delivery of airliners from Lockheed, Burbank, CA. Contract ended, he joined Lockheed, rising to Senior Design Engineer. Glyn and wife Ruth, upon retirement, moved to Victoria, BC. Glyn will be long remembered as a proud Welshman, true gentleman, wonderful friend who was kind, self-effacing and a lover of animals. He left a sense of his joy for life in all fortunate to know him.

Many thanks to the Tidman Family and staff at The Peninsula in Sidney for their wonderful care and love during his time with them.

A celebration for Glyn will be held at The Peninsula 2290 Henry Ave. Sidney, on October 19th, 2-3:30pm.

In lieu of flowers, donations to Mount Newton Center would be appreciated

R

esidents of Sidney’s Friendship Housing Cooperative pitch in and work together to create a sense of community.

That’s the verdict on co-op living

by Lisa Wilson who has been living in Sidney at Friendship Housing Cooperative for more than three years.

Wilson has spent eight years in similar co-ops around the province and said what keeps her coming back is how the residents have a say in how the co-operative is run.

“It’s better than renting, she said in a recent interview with the News Review. “We have secure housing and no landlord but ourselves.”

Located on Fifth Street, the Friendship Housing Co-Op is a collection of units ranging in size from two to four bedrooms.

Fiona Jackson, communications director with the Co-operative Housing Foundation of B.C. told the PNR last month that it’s one of 262 coops in the province and the 34 on Vancouver Island. Most of those, she continued, are located throughout Greater Victoria.

Members of a housing co-op, Jackson said, get security of tenure, meaning they can stay as long as they pay their housing charge and follow the rules.

Residents are also expected to take part on the local board of directors, helping create a better sense of ownership. In the case of Friend-

Co-op housing fosters a great sense of community, says Lisa Wilson who lives in a unit at the Friendship Housing Co-operative in Sidney. ship, it is a non-profit business, managed by its members.

For Wilson, she said residents there pay around $1,100 a month, but that varies. Rents only go up, she continued, when there’s maintenance issues.

“We can usually (keep costs) at just below market prices in Sidney,” Wilson said, “generally speaking.”

That means there is almost always a waiting list of people wanting a unit in the co-operative. With 15 units in all, and a few that have subsidized housing charges, demand is there, she said.

Wilson said she has been on the co-op’s board of directors for two terms — the first time she has served on a co-op board.

“We are legally and financially responsible for running the co-op,” she explained. “It has been a steep learning curve.”

Keeping up with unit maintenance is only the beginning of the duties overseen by the board of directors, she said. They must stay on top of finances, approve capital expenses and follow their 10-year plan.

“It’s very involved. It’s worth it for me because you get to know your neighbours very well. For me, that’s very important.”

Wilson said Friendship has a strong community atmosphere.

When she was living between cooperatives before finding a unit in Sidney, she said she really missed that.

“You have to find solutions to problems together and you have to get along.”

One of the questions she hears the most is from people asking if Friendship Housing Co-operative is a commune. Wilson said it’s not, in any way.

“We’re just a group of home owners.”

Like-minded home owners, she added.

“There’s some really great people here.”

Wilson said she would not have been able to afford to live in Sidney if it wasn’t for Friendship. She said she loves being a part of the entire Sidney community and enjoys living close to everything she and her family needs.

“It’s got that small-town feel. We have everything here.”

& BRING THIS PICTURE TO THE EVENT and RECEIVE A PRIZE! (Children 12 and under)

The apparent slowing of global warming in recent years is likely due to effects of increased particulate and other conventional pollution, particularly from thermal coal use in Asia, says B.C. MLA and climate scientist Andrew Weaver.

Weaver was asked to respond to a report issued last month by University of Guelph environmental economist Ross McKitrick, a long-time critic of climate change models and a senior fellow at the Fraser Institute. Reviewing temperature data used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, McKitrick notes that data for the last two decades have shown less warming than was predicted by most climate models.

McKitrick does not challenge the conclusion that human-generated carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere. But he argues that the uncertain effect of rising emissions should cause policymakers to wait for clarity before “making any irreversible climate policy commitments, in order to avoid making costly decisions that are revealed a short time later to have been unnecessary.”

Weaver questioned the accuracy of McKitrick’s report.

“To say that there’s no statistically significant change over the last 15 to 20 years, it’s just not true,” Weaver said. “2005 is the second warmest year on record, 2010 is the warmest and we’re going to break the record in 2014.”

Weaver said climate models in the late 1990s estimated an amount of particulate and aerosol pollution in the world’s atmosphere that has been exceeded by growing thermal coal use in China and other emerging economies. That pollution has a cooling effect and when air pollution is cleaned up it as it has been in North America, warming increases, he said.

The issue is significant to B.C., where a carbon tax on fuels remains in place. Northeastern B.C.’s booming shale gas production contains more CO2 than conventional gas, and it is extracted and vented to the atmosphere in processing for fuel or export.
