With a vote margin of only 52 votes separating the NDP’s Gary Holman and the Liberals’ Stephen Roberts, Elections B.C. will count the votes again

Steven Heywood News staff

Gary Holman said he was nervous Tuesday night and he looked it. The NDP candidate in Saanich North and the Islands was watching the election count come in from his campaign scrutineers at his campaign office in Sidney and the race was close — too close for a man who admitted it was drawing out his pessimistic tendencies. With arms crossed and a bit of a forced smile, Holman said the 40th provincial election, for him, was going to be rough. The atmosphere over at Stephen Roberts’ B.C. Liberal campaign headquarters, also in Sidney, was at times jubilant, followed by stunned silence. Back and forth it went as the results came in — with each polling station changing the leaderboard but only by the narrowest of margins. When the last polling station finally reported in, Holman was clinging to a 52-vote lead and only cautiously accepting the news that he had been declared the winner. “I won’t believe I’m elected until Elections B.C. confirms it,” he said in a call with the News Review Tuesday night. Holman said there is still the counting of mail-in and absentee ballots to come — that and the final tally which won’t happen until May 27 by Elections B.C. First, however, Elections B.C. will conduct a recount. Since the race was decided by under 100 votes, there is an automatic recount by the district electoral officer. Don Main, Elections B.C. communication manager, says a recount can happen when the vote spead between the top two candidates is under 100, or if it’s

27 result in a vote differential that is one-five hundredth of the total votes cast in Saanich North and the Islands, Main said there would be a judicial recount. Roberts, as a result, still has his hopes up. He spent much of the

evening watching the results pour in and monitoring tweets and posts on his phone. “There was that strange last polling station that took a lot of time to report,” Roberts said Wednesday morning. “The mail-

ins and absentee votes are still out there as well. “We’re not quite done.” Adam Olsen of the Green Party, meanwhile, looked to play the spoiler all night and at the end of the evening, was only around 300 votes off the leaders in Saanich North and the Islands. With additional votes expected to be counted on May 27, even he cannot be counted out at this stage. “Realistically, even though it is a close finish here, the eventual result depends on the remaining ballots,” he said. “Having said that, I haven’t conceded yet.” Olsen said what the result in this riding means is that people cannot ever say that their vote does not count. “We turn out to vote like few others in this province,” Olsen said of Saanich North and the Islands, which had a 64.8 per cent voter turnout — exceeding the provincial avarage of 52 per cent. Olsen added he’s not unhappy with his third place finish at this stage, saying his strong campaign here helped bolster the fortunes of the Greens on the Island. Andrew Weaver was elected B.C.’s frst Green MLA in Oak Bay-Gordon Head. “We broke through,” Olsen said. “Andrew is a tremendous candidate. It helped, having a couple of strong campaigns around him.” As for his leader, Jane Sterk, her future at the head of the Green Party is up to her, Olsen said. He credited Sterk for putting the party in a position to have the second candidate win in a first-pastthe-post election in this country. PLEASE SEE: Candidates credit each, page 3

Small lots in North Saanich take a step closer to reality Developer of 9395 East Saanich Rd. says local workers have top priority

Workers to get first dibs on new homes

Steven Heywood

Sanpen Properties Inc. says local workers will get the first chance to buy new homes built at their 9395 East Saanich Rd. development site. Mark Johnson, speaking on behalf of the company, says they will be offering the Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group, Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and North Saanich fire department first crack. He said the opportunity would last six months after the development officially gets shovels in the ground — with a full public opening to follow on or around December 16, 2013. John Juricic, executive director of the Sidney North Saanich Industrial Group, says finding homes for local workers has been a top issue. “This addresses the issue of non-workers buying the homes,” he said. “Financial incentives will be part of that.” In a presentation to council, Johnson showed what the homes would look like, addressing concerns that the developer has not yet given an indication of the look and feel of the property. He said the project would be built out in one phase, despite the district’s need for a phased-in agreement. Johnson added the company will be paying $32,250 in amenity and other fees, per lot, to the district for a total contribution of $1.25 million. That includes money for the developer to build sewer connections. “Certainly, this is a large cost of doing business in this community,” he said. Prices for the homes, he said, would range from $399,900 to $434,900.

Clark defies poll, Liberals win majority Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. Liberal leader Christy Clark pulled an upset win Tuesday, defying the polls and pundits who started the evening talking about her exit strategy after a loss. Early results gave Clark’s B.C. Liberals 50 seats, with 33 for the NDP. Clark took an early lead in poll results Tuesday night, with veterans Mike de Jong, Rich Coleman, Terry Lake and Linda Reid retaining their seats. B.C. Conservative leader John Cummins lost to B.C. Liberal Mary Polak in Langley. Cummins said he will stay on as leader. Clark had a close contest in her own constituency of VancouverPoint Grey, running against the NDP’s David Eby, who came close to winning in Clark’s by-election two years ago. B.C. Green Party candidate Andrew Weaver made a breakthrough in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, winning the first

Vicki Huntingon won re-election in Delta South, a landmark for an independent to win twice without party affiliation. Independents Bob Simpson in Cariboo North and John van Dongen in Abbotsford South, fell to

their B.C. Liberal challengers. “Just like Alberta, the voters got to the ballot box and chickened out,” said one observer on Twitter. The result shocked observers, who had been expecting an NDP majority. “The Liberals came in with a better plan for managing the economy,” said Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. Paralympian Michelle Stilwell retained the B.C. Liberal seat in Parksville-Qualicum, a lonely stronghold on Vancouver Island previously held by Ron Cantelon. In one of the key swings, B.C. Liberal Laurie Throness knocked of NDP incumbent Gwen O’Mahoney, who won a by-election in Chilliwack-Hope last year. Joe Trasolini, the other by-election winner, was also knocked off in Port Moody-Coquitlam. “I feel like we rose from the dead,” said former Vancouver mayor Sam Sullivan, who won the VancouverFalse Creek constituency for the B.C. Liberals.

B.C. Greens make history in Oak Bay-Gordon Head Don Descoteau News staff

On a night that saw the B.C. Liberals snatch victory from the jaws of defeat provincewide, star candidate Andrew Weaver scored a major coup Tuesday for the Green Party in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

Votes are still being counted, but it appears University of Victoria climate scientist and Nobel Prize co-winner has ousted incumbent Liberal and veteran cabinet minister Ida Chong, and second-time NDP candidate Jessica Van der Veen to earn his party’s first seat in the

B.C. legislature. With a majority of polls reporting Tuesday night, Weaver had more than 6,100 votes to Van der Veen’s 4,500 and Chong’s 4,266. It was a bittersweet night for the Greens, whose leader, Jane Sterk, finished a distant second behind incumbent

Carole James of the NDP in Victoria-Beacon Hill. Sterk has said she would step down as B.C. Green leader if defeated in this election. The orange wave rolled over Greater Victoria once again, as five of seven electoral districts went overwhelmingly in favour of the

NDP. Incumbents James, Rob Fleming (Victoria-Swan Lake), Maurine Karagianis (Esquimalt-Royal Roads), Lana Popham (Saanich South) and John Horgan (Juan de Fuca) scored comfortable wins. PLeaSe See: Solid NDP showing, page 6

Candidates credit each other for strong effort Continued from page 1

Province-wide, the B.C. Liberals maintained a majority government. Holman said those results were disconcerting. “It’s disconcerting, given the polls,” he said. “But the voters are always right, by definition.” He said his narrow victory represents big change in a riding held by the Liberals for 12 years. Again, he said he’ll be on pins and needles until the final vote count later this month. South Island MLAs, he said, will now have to work very hard with local government and other groups to ensure the Liberals hear their needs. Roberts said he’s happy to

He said it’s fantastic and reflects the voters’ desire to have a part in government committed to the economy and seeing a

more prosperous province. “The Liberals have always had a plan for that,” he said. As for Saanich North and the Islands, Roberts said the result — a close race on

election night — is a result of a variety of factors. Those include a green movement on the Peninsula and a senior population that has tended to be more conservative. He

is happy with his campaign effort and credited both the NDP and Green Party for also having strong campaigns on the Peninsula. Both Roberts and his party leader faced very close races in their respective ridings, with Clark losing to the NDP’s David Eby in Vancouver-Point Grey by a little more than 700 votes. She remains party leader but may look to run in a by-election in another riding (where a Liberal MLA would have to step aside) in order to be able to sit in the legislature. Saanich North and the Islands had been in B.C. Liberal hands for 12 years, most recently held by former MLA Murray Coell. Holman came within 245 votes of Coell in 2009.

OUR VIEW

Green mouse may yet roar The movers and shakers in the B.C. NDP will no doubt lose plenty of sleep given the party’s underwhelming performance in Tuesday’s provincial election. While its candidates once again rolled to a near sweep in Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island, the NDP has more to think about than simply how to get the better of the B.C. Liberals. The win by Andrew Weaver of the Green Party over longtime Liberal MLA Ida Chong and tireless NDP campaigner Jessica Van der Veen in Oak Bay-Gordon Head opens the door a crack for a party seen for years as a quirky collection of environmentalists. In terms of the popular vote, perhaps a better measurement of public support for a party, the Greens fared roughly the same as 2009, taking about eight per cent provincewide. But over the longer term, the presence of the vocal Weaver in the legislature may give the public a glimpse of just how well a Green party MLA can represent constituents. It’s the old “show me, don’t tell me” scenario. If people like how the Nobel Prize-winning scientist handles himself and takes the Liberals to task, it may just encourage more voters to step out of their comfort zone and go Green next election. And that will mostly take votes away from the NDP, which has tried hard to incorporate a business-friendly strategy with being environmentally responsible, so as not to alienate anyone. It’s tough to play well to both crowds, as the Liberals know. Among the reasons they emerged victorious on election day was they stuck primarily to one message, that of keeping a strong economy and job creation front and centre. Winning one seat among 85 in the legislature isn’t exactly earth shattering and the B.C. Greens face their own uncertainty with leader Jane Sterk losing for a second straight time. But the party is poised to alter B.C.’s political history more than we realize. It just might take a while. What do you think?

We live in an extraordinary community and our citizens deserve the very best in forward thinking and innovation on all of these cross-boundary infrastructure issues. To believe that a behind the scenes, unstated Balkanized approach will produce the best solutions is naïve.

We did it on water, so let’s do it in all the other critical infrastructure areas as well. With the provincial election producing no south Vancouver Island representation in the governing party, it’s more important than ever that we get our collective regional act together.

Joe Benning, Margaret Reeve, Chris Edley, Helene Dizy, Maureen Dale, Ann Gower, Jarrett Teague and Gary Zilkie unveil an interpretive sign at John Dean Park on May 11.

Park graced with new sign NORTH SAANICH — The dedication of an interpretive display recognizing John Dean and his contribution to the citizens of B.C. in John Dean Provincial Park took place Saturday, May 11. It was a unique and rather special event commemorating the donation of the land for the park by Dean with a sign designed by Edley Signs. This is the first of several signs for the park planned by the Friends of John Dean Park Society and B.C. Parks. Dean was the first person to donate land to be held in perpetuity as a provincial park. Because of him pioneer settlers that owned adjacent properties to his donated land that was used for the access road, now called Dean Park Road, and to increase the size of the park, which is now 427 acres. John Dean Provincial Park is the third oldest park in the province and is one of the best maintained parks thanks to the

work over the years by members of the Friends and other volunteers. Gary Zilkie, a member of the Friends Board of Directors, delivered the opening remarks during the dedication, thanking all those who have contributed to the maintenance and upkeep of the park. He paid a special thanks to Jarrett Teague, who has volunteered many years maintaining the trails and provided the original idea and source material for the display. Sidney Councillor Kenny Podmore thanked the Friends for the invitation, saying because of it he had learned a great deal about John Dean. “Dean was very industrious and self-sufficient,” Podmore said. “He was a world traveller who looked for ways to improve the world around him. He was interested in nature, became a politician and was known to be kind and generous.” Friends President, Margaret Reeve noted seventy-five years

ago this week, on May 14, 1938, Dean attended the first community event in the park at 87 years of age. That event celebrated the completion of the access road and the major trails that had been built as the result of a Federal work relief program during the Great Depression. Joe Benning, B.C. Parks Area Supervisor for Saanich and the South Gulf Islands, acknowledged the creativity and hard work that went into the research, development and artistry of the interpretive display. “This is my favourite part of the job,” said Benning as he unveiled the display. “Projects like these make it possible for people to leave the park with knowledge that builds respect and appreciation for nature and natural systems.” For more information about The Friends of John Dean Park Society, please contact Friends President Margaret Reeve at 250652-3282. — Submitted by Maureen Dale

Tsawout chief helping reclaim Mt. Doug Devon MacKenzie News staff

A member of the Tsawout First Nation is part of the movement to reclaim the original name of Mount Douglas in Saanich. During an event on Wednesday, May 22, Eric Pelkey will be joined by members from the Songhees and other WSÁNEC First Nations in a gathering that will serve to reinstate the name PKOLS (pronounced p’cawls) for the mountain. “This is something that our elders have been calling for, for many, many years,” said Pelkey, who works in the Douglas Treaty office at Tsawout, in a media release. “[This will] bring back the names we have always used to where they belong.” Stories of PKOLS go back to nearly the beginning of time

for the WSÁNEC people, Pelkey said. Historically it has been an important meeting place and geological findings indicate it was the last place glaciers receded from on southern Vancouver Island (PKOLS roughly translates to white rock.) Not only will the gathering on Wednesday serve to rename the mountain but it will also serve to reclaim the site where the Douglas Treaty was first signed with the WSÁNEC nations. “It is a very important place for our people,” said Pelkey. “PKOLS is a part of our creation story within the WSÁNEC nation and it’s where our treaty was first agreed to in 1852.” To signify the renewal of the original nation-to-nation treaty relationship, organizers of the May 22 action, including volun-

teers from local First Nations, the Indigenous Nationhood Movement and Social Coast will stage a march up the mountain from the base along with a reenactment of the signing of the Douglas Treaty, the telling of oral histories and traditional significance of the mountain and finally, the installation of a new PKOLS sign. “We expect this to be a major event and we welcome all people to witness and participate in this important day for our people,” said Pelkey. The event begins at 5 p.m. on May 22 when supporters will gather at the base of Mt. Doug in the lower parking lot. The march will begin shortly after.

Many of the opposition said they are worried the project’s 40 lots are only the beginning — with 95 more proposed across the street and an estimated 300-plus looming on the horizon — and that the changes to the OCP and zoning bylaw would open the door to thise new development in North Saanich.

A review of the official community plan in North Saanich won’t hapen any time soon, says Councillor Ted Daly, responding to calls to review it in the wake of planned density change sought to allow new development. “I want it clear,” he explained, “I tried to get a full OCP review on the housing issue and was told by other councillors that this didn’t need it. Now, similar people are saying ‘do an OCP review.’ That ship has sailed.” Instead, council at the beginning of this term of office decided to proceed with changes to the district’s housing policy, a document within the OCP. “It’s true, an OCP review was requested,” says Mayor Alice Finall. “I did support it be put off but at that time, we had no idea this level of development pressure would show itself in North Saanich.” Councillor Dunstan Browne said district staff told council they could proceed with looking at bits and pieces. “And this is the one aspect that we’ve been talking about and this is the one that we reviewed,” he said.

bylaw to allow the project to be phased-in. They all passed third reading. Final adoption of these changes will require another vote at another meeting. The project itself still has hurdles to cross. Director of Planning Mark Brodrick says Sanpen and the district still have to agree on servicing and financing

agreements for sewer and water utilities. Then, the company has to apply for a development permit and undergo scrutiny on the project’s form and character. Once thiose stages are complete or in progress, he said, there’s the building permit application process. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Solid NDP showing Continued from page 3

Weaver, whose campaign team celebrated the win at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, was part of a three-way battle that was too close to call at the outset. He took an early lead in the polling and extended that advantage. Despite the solid NDP showing in Greater Victoria, the provincial picture left at least one winner questioning campaign strategy. “I think it’s a bit of an upset, it’s unexpected,” said Karagianis from NDP campaign headquarters at the Victoria Conference Centre. “It just goes to show that you cannot believe the polls. It means a positive campaign, despite the fact that people say they want that, does not work as well as a negative campaign and that’s really sad.”

Pet memorial centre turned down Central Saanich council says no to alkaline hydrolysis animal carcass disposal operation Devon MacKenzie News staff

An application to start up a pet loss memorial centre on Stanhope Farm was denied by Central Saanich council. The application came from Jocelyne Monette and Stanhope Farm in April to operate an alkaline hydrolysis animal carcass operation and pet memorial business on Stanhope property. The process, sometimes referred to as aquamation, takes place in an enclosed machine and reduces corpses to bone in less than 24 hours. The sterile effluent can then apparently be used as fertilizer. According to the application, Monette had plans to use the alkaline hydrolysis technology that Stanhope owns (to dispose of dead farm animals) to process deceased family pets. The memorial centre component of the business would then factor in as pets’ bones could be ground up and returned to

Business lost revenue due to scam Devon MacKenzie News staff

Last week a local business received calls from an illegitimate company claiming to be responsible for maintenance of

their pre-payment machines. Apparently, the callers requested the authorization codes required to access the pre-pay machines in order to allegedly fix a system error. Once the codes were provided

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE is hereby given of a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the Central Saanich Municipal Council Chamber, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, at 6:30 p.m. on MONDAY, MAY 27, 2013 with regard to the following proposed Bylaw to amend Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999, and with regard to a proposed Development Variance Permit. CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1808, 2013 (6728 WOODWARD DRIVE) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw No. 1808, 2013 - Subject Property Bylaw is to amend Appendix “A” of the Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 to rezone the westerly portion of the area of land legally described as Lot 3, Sections 13 and 14, Range 2 West, South Saanich District, Plan 13325 (6728 Woodward Drive), as shown shaded on the map, from Large Lot Single Family Residential (R1) to Small Lot Single Family Residential (R-1S). The intent of the proposed bylaw amendment is to facilitate the subdivision of the subject property at 6728 Woodward Drive into two lots; retaining the existing house on the larger eastern lot and allowing construction of one new single family dwelling on the new smaller proposed R-1S lot to the west. DEVELOPMENT VARIANCE PERMIT A Development Variance Permit has been requested in respect to 6728 Woodward Drive to vary the R-1 regulations in section 38(27) of Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999, by reducing the rear yard setback for the existing house from the required 7.5m (25 ft) to 4.3m (14 ft) to enable the existing house to remain on the new eastern lot. Copies of the proposed Bylaw and Development Variance Permit, Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999, staff reports and other related information that may be considered by Council, may be inspected at the Office of the Municipal Clerk, Central Saanich Municipal Hall, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, from the date of this notice to 4:30 p.m., Monday, May 27, 2013 inclusive. For more information, please phone the Planning Department at 250-544-4209. All persons who believe that their interest in property may be affected by the proposed Bylaw and Development Variance Permit shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard at the Public Hearing, either in person, by representative, or by written submission, on all matters contained in the proposed Bylaw and Development Variance Permit, at the above mentioned time, date and place. Dated at Saanichton, BC, this 7th day of May, 2013. Ruby Shea Deputy Municipal Clerk

Ramp request defeated in a tie Devon MacKenzie News staff

A request from a business in Saanichton to amend their development permit was turned down with a tied vote during the Planning and Development committee meeting on May 13. Vic Clive, who purchased the old Moose Hall building at the corner of East Saanich Road and Wallace Drive and plans to relocate his business The Old Attic there, had requested that council amend the development

permit to allow him to go ahead without building an accessible ramp to the building. Months ago, council had allowed a variance in the building permit for the ramp to be built close to the property line but Clive and the architects are now encountering higher costs associated with the ramp and were seeking to be permitted to not include it. “In the interest of being as supportive as we can to small business, I would go ahead with allowing them not to build the

ramp,” said Councillor Carl Jensen. Mayor Alastair Bryson countered Jensen’s comment by suggesting that renovations like the ones being made to the old hall in order to bring it up to code should be done to the highest and most useful standards. Councillor Zeb King excused himself from the proceedings because of a conflict of interest and the motion to exclude the ramp from the development permit was defeated by a tied vote of 3-3.
