pplause is not unusual during the Nov. 11 parade of veterans in Sidney. This Remembrance Day, the Memorial Park Society hopes to see a little history bring similar emotion to the forefront at the Mary Winspear Centre as well. The board, out of concern over waning memories of what the MPS stands for, found some funding through Veterans Affairs and is planning a bold display for the community in hopes of keeping the “Memorial” in the title. “The board wanted to maintain the history,” said Lynn

Fanelli, one of those tasked with researching and building the project. Sidney Athletic Association and Sidney Women’s Auxiliary acquired 12 acres in 1928 for community use. The Memorial Park Society was established and the park was named the North Saanich War Memorial Park in honour of the local men lost in the First World War. It included a sports field and playground. “Then we had more wars since it was established,” Fanelli said. “Over time it became a memorial for those who served in war and peace.” The small park with statue, marker and fountain outside the Winspear still mark the place as a memorial, but the board is planning something a little more emotional. “We wanted to make a personal connection with people,” Fanelli said. The hope is to give people a
sense of why military men, and later women, went to war or on peacekeeping missions. “[It’s about] the effect it had on the people left behind and the people who came home and what they went through [after],” said Dave Bryan, curator of the Sidney Army Navy and Air Force Veterans in Canada (ANAVETS) museum. “All these things have an effect on all the community.” Through research, via the Veterans Affairs funding and the Sidney Archives, the team has all sorts of dates and names. They’re looking for the emotional elements, the impact on the community. “We want to make this a community thing, which the park is. It’s a community situation,” said Brad Morrison, manager of the Sidney Archives. “It’s the purpose of the park … to make people remember.” The trio hopes to hear from personal family tales how the

Saanich Peninsula was involved in the world’s armed conflicts. “We can’t tell the story if people don’t give us the story,” said Bryan. “The biggest difficulty is getting people to part with these memories. Some of them are very painful.” The project will be unveiled on Nov. 11 and will run for the year. The plan is to have so much information they can change out the display in the gallery of the Mary Winspear Centre each year. The project will also be produced in hard copy and distributed to schools throughout the Saanich school district. Because, as Bryan points out, “If you don’t know your history, you’re damned to repeat it.” Anyone interested in sharing information should contact the Sidney Archives at archives@
Cash for the cause The Royal Bank is helping to honour the Memorial Park Society, the charitable organization that operates the Mary Winspear Centre, with a $1,000 contribution. Kim Walsh, manager at the Sidney RBC branch, entered their contribution into an internal provincial competition and RBC matched the local contribution. The centre will receive a total of $2,000.

Council rushing its decisions? This week marked the second time in recent months Sidney pulled a complete 180 on important decisions that affect its residents. Both came in response to legal challenges to the council’s decisions. The first came after council, in an in camera meeting, terminated the Sidney Business Association’s contract to run the popular summer market. The SBA hired lawyer L. John Alexander to enforce that same contract, which states the town must six months’ notice Legal pressure give to terminate, except in made Sidney extreme cirumstances. On May 14, Mayor bend twice Larry Cross announced the SBA could have its market back. (On July 4, the town issued the SBA with that six months’ notice.) Now, after a series of protests, a group of Sidney residents hired the same lawyer to challenge the town’s zoning bylaw adopted June 11 (see page A6). Alexander in his petition said residents could be entitled to financial compensation because of how the bylaw nixes their ability to redevelop their own land. In one sense, the town may be doing the right thing in bowing to the legal challenges. It could be saving Sidney taxpayers hundreds of thousands in legal bills down the road. Mayor Cross isn’t afraid of confrontation – he’s proven that at council meetings where these same anti-zoning bylaw residents became verbally aggressive. Residents will recognize that if they don’t like the town’s policies, they might get their way with a legitimate legal argument. The town might see more of these in the future. Further, we question whether the town rushed to these decisions. Was due diligence missed on both occasions, with councillors and staff not fully checking into the real consequences of their actions? In future, Sidney council and staff would be wise to ensure they know what they’re getting into before the next legal challenge forces them to retrace their steps. What do you think?

OPINION Editorial: Treaties should have their day in court Songhees Nation’s elected leader Chief Robert Sam passed away earlier this week as a man who fought tirelessly for his community in Victoria and for aboriginal people across the province. Sam worked hard to give aboriginal youth the opportunity for a good education and good jobs, understanding both are necessary to break the systemic cycle of poverty with First Nations people. As forward thinking as Sam was, he still was fighting injustices of the long past.
In tandem with Esquimalt First Nation, Sam played a crucial role in establishing a $31 million settlement in 2006 from the provincial and federal governments for land taken away 160 years ago, where the legislature building now sits. The settlement, while giving the bands much needed capital, it did little to answer the nagging question of the validity, scope and meaning of the Douglas treaties. In 1850, Fort Victoria colonial governor James Douglas made a series of land purchases from a
Readers respond: Industrial zone living may not appeal to families Re: Density knocks at Sidney’s door (News, July 6) I read with interest and shock of a proposal to establish a 500 unit residential development on the present Slegg Lumber site. This proposed multi-unit development is in the very middle of Sidney’s industrial area. Is there not a more suitable place to allow residential expansion? Presumably these units would be occupied by young working people with children and growing families. It seems to me that not only would it be unpleasant to raise a family in the middle of an industrial area, but it could also be dangerous. I’m new to this area having only moved to Sidney four months ago. The thing I find particularly distressing is the absolute lack of single family residential development on the Peninsula. Many of my younger patients live in Langford in new affordable housing and commute because local housing is not available. Unfortunately the councils of North Saanich and Sidney have adopted the parochial view of limiting expansion of needed single family residential
number of tribes for a pittance, giving the Crown ownership of almost all land in Victoria and Saanich, except aboriginal “village sites and enclosed fields for our own use … and those who follow after us,” according to treaty text. Aboriginal people also had the right to continue to fish and hunt on unoccupied land. First Nations people in Greater Victoria, and probably more than a few historians as well, argue the colonial administration broke the terms of these Douglas treaties fairly quickly – aboriginal village surveys weren’t done and land
they are on its website). Both governments assert there is a statute of limitations on the agreements and “village sites” really only meant a village site – the Songhees Indian Reserve. Fighting a 160-year-old grievance in court may seem absurd and may come down to duelling experts interpreting an imperfect historical record. At the same time, it would be better if this case isn’t settled out of court. The validity of the Douglas treaties should have a full public airing. – Victoria News

development. As a new resident of Sidney, I want to find a nice piece of property in the area to build a pleasant small home for myself and my wife. Lack of affordable housing is a major reason why new physicians refuse to relocate to the Saanich Peninsula. With so much vacant and unused land on the Peninsula I am bewildered at how I cannot find detached house building sites. The prudent approach would be to allow controlled residential expansion of new subdivisions in pleasant locations that would attract new families. All those young families that work in Sidney but live in Langford want affordable single family houses in nice residential areas. I am fairly certain they do not want to live in the industrial area.

Inverted Sidney flag would have been more appropriate Re: Upside down Canadian flag protests zoning move: resident (News, July 6) I am writing to express my displeasure at the gross disrespect to our flag on the part of Ray Headrick on Canada Day. He is correct that an inverted flag signals
distress, but the use of a country’s national flag in that context is more appropriately associated with something major such as a threat to life or safety than for his disagreement with town council. As has been stated, the status of legal non-conforming use has been used by municipalities for many years as a planning designation and nothing about that is new or unusual. Whether the current zoning bylaw is the correct one or not may be debatable, but the designation is a legitimate tool in the town’s arsenal. If Mr. Headrick wants to argue the zoning bylaw on its merits he has the opportunity to appear before the appropriate town bodies to do so. There are also other forms of protest open to him and I encourage him to use them if he feels his ox is being gored. To disrespect our nation’s flag on Canada Day was disrespectful and wrong. Perhaps he should have inverted a town flag instead. Brad Franklin Sidney
Adding 30 costly MPs inefficient, excessive Parliament has added another 30 MPs costing an additional $1.44 million each or
$43 million dollars. This expenditure was passed lightening fast by the Canadian Senate. We now have 338 MPs representing 35 million people or 104,000 constituents each. The Senate gave no sober second thought to this expenditure. The United States have 314 million people and 435 federal representatives representing 722,000 constituents each. They limit the proliferation of federal representatives to 435 and reapportion these representatives based on population. They also have 100 Senators who represent 3.4 million people each. U.S. politicians compared to Canadian politicians are effectively the best politicians money can buy. Our current form of government lends itself to dictatorial power, making a mockery of electing great numbers of powerless MPs and appointing politically toady Senators to sycophantically bless a Prime Minister’s agenda. The politicians are in a conflict of interest; they won’t limit their costly, inefficient use of the political system. We need more services and less politicians. It is time the people took back the power of governance. Harry Atkinson Sidney

Sidney to revisit controversial zoning bylaw
POLICE NEWS
Legal challenge to bylaw prompts mayor to announce limited review of OCP
Driver hits cyclist, leaves
Erin Cardone News staff
A legal challenge from a handful of Sidney residents has the town revisiting its zoning bylaw. “I want everyone to know that the town is committed to undertaking a focused review of the [official community plan] and plans for the provision of single family residential use within the multifamily land use designations,” Mayor Larry Cross said Monday. “This change will then be incorporated in an amendment to the zoning bylaw.” The flip-flop comes after residents whose properties, upon which sit single family homes, became nonconforming with the new zoning bylaw which no longer allows single family homes in that area. They enlisted lawyer L. John Alexander to file a petition with the Supreme Court of B.C. Monday.
“Council is absolutely capable of resolving this issue if they desire,” Alexander said. “Zoning bylaws are amended all the time. All they have to do is introduce an amendment that puts single family back into the [RM5 zone].” Cross said council would begin the review of focused OCP review in September. Ray Headrick, who has led the push against the new zoning bylaw adopted June 11, was struck by the mayor’s comments. “It seems rather peculiar,” he said. “[The mayor] has been absolutely defiant for seven weeks.” Residents protested with picket signs and swarmed council meetings after the bylaw was adopted. Headrick flew two Canadian flags upside down in protest on Canada Day and July 2 and posted a letter stating his opposition on his door. Cross said the focused review would allow residents plenty of means to give feedback and “will be conducted as expeditiously as possible.” “The zoning bylaw is the implementation document of the OCP” adopted in 2007, Cross said. “Accord-
In the petition L. John Alexander’s petition to the courts has two main goals:
Procedural missteps The town didn’t adequately inform residents of the impact of the zoning bylaw, Alexander states. Wording in advertisements was too vague to convey the actual effects.
Elimination of use RM5 (multifamily, no single family homes permitted) allows for rowhouses, townhouses and apartments. But some properties on First Street, which are now zoned RM5 are too small for the permitted uses. In order to rebuild, properties there would have to be amalgamated or the owner must apply for a $250, lengthy development variance permit. “It’s effectively sterilized these small lots. “There’s always permitted uses [on most lots], but with these small old lots, the way they’ve done it is there are no permitted uses.” If a house in RM5 burned down, “I can’t even camp in the burned out rubble,” Alexander said.
ingly, in order to address the legal non-conforming status of the properties under the new zoning bylaw, we must first address the land use designation within the OCP – amending the OCP is a critical first step and must happen prior to us being able to address the zoning bylaw.” Headrick isn’t convinced the review will accomplish what he seeks – permitting single family
homes in RM5 zones. “I would be a fool if I were to believe they were being honest about that. In three months they’re going to see what can be done? They couldn’t be more vague or evasive.” The town has until July 30 to respond to the petition. A court hearing could be scheduled if necessary. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

A cougar sighting on Sunday, July 8 just before dusk saw a Brentwood Bay resident call police. The full-size cat was reportedly spotted in the 6800 block of Wallace Drive close to the water pacing up a path. Central Saanich police put a call in to conservation officers who did not attend the scene. Police patrolled the area after the call, but did not locate the cat and no further sightings were reported.
Victoria man arrested in CS Central Saanich police responded to a call from B.C. Ambulance Service on July 5 just before 11 p.m. At the scene, near the intersection of West Saanich Road and Stelly’s X Road, police found a 20-year-old Central Saanich man who claimed to be the victim of an assault. The young man sustained minor injuries and was transported to Saanich Peninsula Hospital. Nearby police found a suspect, a 20-yearold man from Victoria, who was arrested and released on a promise to appear the next morning. Charges against the Victoria man are being contemplated and the case remains under investigation. reporter@peninsulanews review.com

had a terrific tournament going 2-2, but just missed out on advancing to the medal round. On Sunday, July 8, Triangle from the West Shore knocked out Nanaimo in the final to take the crown in the tournament. “To see Rotary Park so full with 156 ball players and their families for three days of terrific ball was fantastic,” said Swinton. In the spring, PBSA plays interlocking baseball in the Greater Victoria Baseball Association where there are five divisional championships up for grabs each year. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com
Central Saanich Little Leaguers have a shot at provincials. They host the district 7 Little League tournament, which started Sunday, July 8. Play continues with semifinals happening Saturday, July 14 at 10 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. and finals on Sunday, July 15 at 11 a.m., all at Centennial Park. The winner of the tourney – between Central Saanich, Beacon Hill, Hampton and Lakehill/National – moves on to provincials in Trail, then potentially the Canadian championship in Edmonton. The winner of that tournament could go on to the Little League World Series in Williamsport, Pa. in August.

Tour de Rock coach training group of riders Continued from page A1
“None of them knew one another before this,” Lister said of the group, which is made up of friends from cycling groups, personal connections and work associates. “I seem to be the only common link [between them], but we have made an incredible connection.” Lister said the group is lucky to have cyclist JP Robinson as their coach. “JP is a huge asset to our team,” Lister said. “He’s just so supportive and open and he encourages us to always be open with each other. That’s essential when you’re cycling as a group – you need to be an open book out there. When you ride together as we do, you really need to learn each other’s strengths.” Robinson has trained Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock teams as well as Cops for Cancer teams. Most recently he trained riders for the Tour de Victoria, which happened June 24. “We train three times a week with JP,” said Lister. “Tuesday night is hill night, so we normally go to the observatory and go up and down as a pack multiple times. We also do a speed night during the week and then we have saddle time on Sundays where we ride a minimum of 75 to 80 kilometres [in] an hour.” One rider, Robin Farrell, a DJ with Kool FM, has ridden the Tour de Rock and Lister said that is a constant benefit to the team. “We’ve all learned a lot from Robin and some of us took the Tour de Victoria clinics last year so I feel great about the team and how close we are,” said Lister. “Selecting your own [riding] pack is incredible. We know each other on a personal level and the communication during rides is amazing.” Lister’s Cycle of Hope has garnered support from ALS Canada, and she says they want the ride to go nation-wide. “ALS Canada wants the Cycle of Hope to go to Toronto,” laughed Lister. “I said, ‘Let me at least do it here first.’” Lister said during the ride, the team will be wearing the black crow logo she designed – something she holds close to her heart. “Our logo is a crow because when my dad passed away there was a crow in the back yard, just hanging out. Ever since then, I see them everywhere and notice them all the time and it reminds me of my father,” Lister explained. “Some people think they represent evil or are nasty, but to me it’s something beautiful that reminds me of my dad.” The ride departs Kamloops on Aug. 8 and will travel 660 kilometres over nine days. Lister hopes cyclists will join in during the event and that over the next few years it will grow. “We’re definitely planning on making it into an annual event,” said Lister. The team is raising funds through an account at the Sidney Bottle Depot and their website by way of an online auction. The auction features autographed jerseys from local cyclist Ryder Hesjedal and local NHL player Jamie Benn. A signed hockey stick from local AHL player Matthew Irwin is also up for grabs.

For anyone who has spent any time on the Island it is quickly apparent that cycling is a preferred method of transportation in the Capital region. Our area is renowned as the cycling capital of Canada. I, myself, am an avid cyclist. Whenever I go away on holidays I am always torn between whether to take my road bike or my mountain bike with me. The road bike usually wins. At the Sidney North Saanich detachment we receive countless complaints involving cyclists on our roadways. Every year our members attend cycling Cpl. Erin Fraser accidents that result in The Mountie Post serious personal injury or death. I see cyclists disobeying the rules of the road and putting themselves and motorists in danger on a daily basis. We cyclists must be careful at all times as we are extremely vulnerable on roads. As a cyclist I have had some close calls with vehicles. One time while cycling on West Saanich Road I was run off the road by a van that was turning left onto West Saanich Road in front of me. The driver didn’t see me at all and luckily my only injury was some road rash from when I bailed. It was a good reminder to me that drivers are often not cognizant of cyclists. A cyclist on a public roadway has the same rights and responsibilities as a person driving a motor vehicle. Cyclists must obey all traffic control devices. This includes coming to a complete stop at all stop signs. As a police officer I have attended several cycling accidents that have occurred between bicycles and vehicles at intersections. The motor vehicle always wins. Cycling on a sidewalk is prohibited unless otherwise specified; cyclists must not ride two or more abreast and cyclists must ride as close as possible to the right side of the roadway. So, for those of you involved in weekend cycling clubs, please remember to be courteous to others around you. You must keep at least one hand on the handlebars at all time and riding side-saddle is strictly prohibited. Attaching yourself or your bike to a moving vehicle is also not allowed. If you intend on cycling a half hour after sunset to a half hour before sunrise, you must have a front light on your bicycle and a red reflector and a lighted red lamp visible on the rear. If you’re in an accident and there is personal injury or property damage, you have to remain at or immediately return to the scene, provide as much help as possible and identify yourself to the other people involved or directly affected. Ride safely and remember you must also wear your helmet at all times. Cpl. Erin Fraser is a supervisor and the media liaison officer for the Sidney North Saanich RCMP.

This program is set to end April 2013. After that date, the full impact of these new mortgage policies will be felt. There is little doubt that markets will react across Canada. The broad impact may be unfortunate however, since in many areas of the country including ours, the market had already, without this extra nudge, begun to adjust itself toward more modest pricing.
