Crime on Peninsula stays low First quarter stats show the ups and downs in an overall low crime rate Steven Heywood News staff
Sidney’s mayor says residents on the Peninsula are fortunate to live in an area with very low incidents of crime. Larry Cross says his community really is a safe place. He was responding to the crime statistics report from the first three months of 2013, presented to council on Monday, May 13 by Sidney North Saanich RCMP detachment Staff Sergeant Dennis O’Gorman. O’Gorman’s report shows relatively low incidents of crime over the first quarter of the year — yet the total number of incidents (99) appear to be on par with the same period last year. In fact, according to his report, some areas have seen an increase in activity. Vandalism under $5,000 went from 19 over the first three months of 2012, to 37 this year. Traffic collisions causing property damage over $1,000 jumped to 13 this year, compared with only four in 2012. Impaired drivers and traffic tickets were also up, 335 so far in 2013 compared with 291 last year. On the decline were thefts under $5,000 (37 this year, 49 last year), assaults, frauds and thefts from motor vehicles. Among the communities of Pauquachin, Tsartlip, Tsawout and Tseycum, calls to the RCMP were generally down the first three months of the year. The only increase came in Tsawout — 96 compared with 87 in 2012. Please see: Police to focus on, page 9

Sidney amped up for the future Five electric vehicle charging stations makes Sidney a leader in the re-volt Steven Heywood News staff
Five new electric vehicle charging stations has put Sidney at the forefront of the green movement among communities its size — and among municipalities on Vancouver Island. On Thursday, May 16, the town officially
unveiled the new charging stations, alongside Rob McGregor of Sun Country Highway, the company that provided the units. “Welcome to the future,” said Mayor Larry Cross. “This is the first of many to come. We’ll be meeting the needs of many electric vehicles.” Cross said the town’s director of development sevices, Marlaina Elliott, led the
charge to get the stations in place. She is also helping the town achieve its goal of becoming carbon-neutral. “We are looking to reduce that carbon footprint more and more,” Cross said, noting that’s part of their strategic plan. Please see: Charging stations are free, page 4

Peninsula News in brief
Roberts asks for recount
SIDNEY — B.C. Liberal candidate Stephen Roberts has officially requested Elections B.C. for a recount of the ballots cast in Saanich North and the Islands. Roberts came second to the NDP’s Gary Holman by a mere 52 votes on election night May 14. Absentee and mail-in ballots have yet to be counted as well, and that count will happen on May 27. Green Party candidate Adam Olsen is still in the mix, only around 360 votes behind the two leaders.

A
n enthusiastic graduating class of 2013 at Parkland Secondary School got on stage and strutted their stuff for their eighth annual fashion show. This year’s theme, Decades, was a tribute to the clothes and music of various eras — the 1950s to the 2010s. Choreographed by the students themselves, each number combined fashions from local and regional businesses, great music and a lot of fun. “It’s definitely a fun thing for the grads,” said student organizer Eric Dykeman. “It’s not hard to get enough people to do the modeling. We all come together and we all get down to business.” The fashion show and silent auction held Thursday, May 16, was a fundraiser for dry grad events as well as the ongoing Parkland Legacy Fund. The use of that fund, said Dykeman, is decided upon by each grad class. They try to pick a project that will last at the school — anything from signs and trees to theatre lighting. Parent volunteer Margaret Dykeman (Eric’s mom) says the response they received for auction items and ticket sales for the show was phenomenal this year. “It’s important that we recognize our community for their support of the youth,” she said. “This does help welcome the grads into the community.” Margaret said this year’s show was amazing and credited the grad class organizers for pulling together as a team to pull out all the stops.

Continued from page 1
Sidney, he continued, is now the leading community of its size with charging stations and he hopes it stays that way. McGregor added he is speaking with the staff at the Mary Winspear Centre and will be looking into donating another four to six charging stations to them in the future. “The Island is the most EVfriendly region in the world right now,” he said. “You can drive anywhere on this Island wth an electric vehicle and know that you’ll find a charging station.” Sidney’s new stations are a boon for the community, McGregor said. Drivers coming off of the ferries on the Peninsula

Cross said that the town will look to replace its fleet with electric vehicles as existing vehicles reach their retirement age. The charging stations are free. Elliott said while the town will be footing the electric bill, it costs less than instaling card readers or other forms of payment. She added she expects they will get a lot of use, as more and more people are buying electric vehicles and will need places to fuel up. Each charging station cost the town around $31,000. Cross said provincial grants helped cover the expense. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Sidney considers small lots CounCil nEWS
Town of Sidney - Monday, May 13, 2013
Steven Heywood News staff
• Small lots will be debated by the Town of Sidney’s advisory planning committee after council voted to send the issue on to them for comment. Mayor Larry Cross says council is considering amendments to its official community plan to allow small lot developments. What the change will allow, he said, is the construction of more homes on smaller lots, should an existing house on a large lot need to be replaced (i.e.: in the event of a fire). • The Town of Sidney ended 2012 with excess cash of $62,025. Com-
bined with prior years’ surpluses, that leaves an estimated $164,761 in the bank and available for use this year. In a report to council, Director of Corporate Services Andrew Hicik stated the town had an overall operating deficit of $10,401 in 2012. That was covered by prior years’ surplus funds. The Town does have an estimated $2.38 million in its main surplus fund — held under policy to help cover costs in the town’s various budgets, such as sewer and water operations. • The curtain will rise on Shakespeare in the Park in Sidney’s Beacon Park in September after town council gave the event the green light May 13. Council approved a parks use permit for the theatrical production, set to run September 7 and 8. The town recently amended its parks use policy to allow for ticketed events.

BIA to focus on strengths Steven Heywood
Sidney’s strengths
News staff
There’s no official brand, no logo, no one-liner that sums up all that Sidney has to offer — yet. Sidney’s business improvement area (BIA) board held a public branding session Wednesday, May 15, offering only a glimpse at some of the concepts they are delving into as they formulate a vision to market outside the Peninsula. BIA board member and its chair of communications and marketing, Angus Matthews, says it was a session held to share the basics of the branding effort to date. Drawing on a combination of public survey results and board brainstorming sessions, consultants Eclipse Creative and Intuition Brand Planning have put together three pillars of why Sidney can be considered remarkable: its setting; its people, and; its goods. Goods is not just what is sold in local businesses, says Intuition’s Hugh Ruthven, a Parkland Secondary graduate. He said the term covers a broad spectrum of what Sidney has to offer — arts, events, the shops and more. Ruthven gave a presentation on the information that has been gathered so far, telling a small crowd at the Mary Win-
Yet there is hope Sidney’s opportunities and strengths can help lead a new marking effort, designed to attract new visitors and customers. Sidney’s location close to the Salish Sea and transportation hubs, its small town vibe, safe atmosphere, variety of shops and markets and its potential in arts and culture, are seen as positives in the BIA exercise. Building on those strengths and more, the consultants identified opportunities ahead to create a brand for Sidney that demonstrates its authenticity, its accessibility, affordability and its many great shops and events.
The consultants working on the BIA’s branding effort conducted a SWOT — an exercise that identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. In this case, they asked people in the community how those apply to Sidney. Issues like focus, curb appeal, relevance, transportation challenges and service levels and hours were identified as weaknesses. Threats to a prosperous Sidney include a perception as stale, online competition and the cost of retail space, among others. spear Centre that Sidney’s eventual brand must exist in people’s heads — as knowledge or as an experience. “A brand is the promise of value,” he said, quoting branding gurus. “It’s a collection of experiences.” He said, this time quoting Peter Grant’s book, The Story of Sidney, Sidney has a history of reinventing itself again and again, on the same site. Under the BIA and a new brand, the community will need to lead the next change and be able — as ambassadors for their town
— to live up to people’s expectations of their community. “People want authentic, realistic, artisan experiences,” said Ruthven, adding many people feel disconnected to their worlds in these days of mass technology. He encouraged people — whether they run a business or run a special event — to tell the stories of their success. Doing that, he said, will help manage customers’ and visitors’ experiences in Sidney.

Sidney seeks new garbage contract Steven Heywood News staff
Sidney is seeking quotes from companies to provide garbage and kitchen scrap pickup and disposal next year. Mayor Cross says the Capital Regional District will, as of January, 2014, no longer accept organics at its Heartland landfill — except via a
mixed garbage surcharge of $20 per tonne. For Sidney that would cost an estimated $28,440 per year on top of existing garbage collection contract. The Town has decided to find a contractor to provide modified door-to-door pickup service, collecting garbage and organics each week. Preliminary calculations by staff have such a ser-

OUR VIEW
Our ballots did count
I
n an extreme example of how everyone’s vote counts, residents in the Saanich North and the Islands provincial riding are scatching their heads about the NDP candidate’s 52-vote margin over the B.C. Liberlas’ candidate. Green Party candidate Adam Olsen put it well when he told the News Review that no one in this riding can say that their vote didn’t count. Those votes will certainly count as the preliminary result putting Gary Holman into a slim lead over Stephen Roberts will be tallied again. Absentee and mail-in ballots will also be added to the total on May 27. Some folks are saying that’s an additional 1,500 votes that need to be added up. In a ‘normal’ election, those votes might not have swayed a final result — but here on the Peninsula, we know better. In 2009, Holman was a close second behind winner Murray Coell — only around 300 votes. A by-election in the District of North Saanich put a councillor at the table with an even smaller margin of victory. On May 14, the top three finishers in the provincial election in this riding all have a chance at getting those outstanding votes — even Olsen, who finished only around 360 votes behind. Saanich North and the Islands recorded an estimated 64 per cent voter turnout — above the provincial average of 52 per cent. Not bad, all things considered, but imagine if more people had taken the little amount of time it takes to vote. The result on the Peninsula could have been quite different. Olsen is correct. The votes in Saanich North and the Islands meant a great deal in this election. It shows — despite the old complaint that a single vote doesn’t matter — that the individual ballots add up and can sway the political leanings of any single riding. The importance of those absentee and mail-in ballots cannot be overstated in this recount. Those people know who they are and should feel pride that their votes will probably be the ones that decide the outcome of the election — at least in this riding. What do you think?

be the fate of the Jumbo resort. We will have a Seniors’ Advocate office, but it won’t be staffed up to duplicate the Ombudsperson’s role of taking complaints. That’s good, since the Ombudsperson has become ineffective, labouring for years over a massive seniors’ report with so many recommendations it sank like a stone. We have 85 seniors’ advocates now. They’re called MLAs and they definitely take complaints. They have staffed offices in their home communities and in Victoria. When they’re not doing political work that everyone denies is going on in constituency offices, those office staffers try to help people through the labyrinth of seniors’ at-home and institutional care. A new seniors’ advocate can offer advice at the management level to help the health care system evolve, but only elected politicians are positioned to tell individuals they can’t have what they are demanding. The government should be adding more direct services, not more bureaucrats. There will be many arguments about the failure of the NDP to win against an unpopular B.C. Liberal government that is still weighed down by the harmonized sales tax and other heavy baggage. This election could be the beginning of the end for the old left-right model for B.C. politics.

Former leader a better choice It needs to be said. Carole James would have won this one. She was ahead in the polls when she was replaced and has both the personality and reputation as a moderate. The B.C. Liberals would have found it much harder to target her than Adrian Dix. And she would have been much, much better in the TV debate. Andy Mulcahy Victoria

his is watering day, which means making many trips from the tap to the plants in the living room, plus those on the balcony. I use a two litre plastic milk jug to do this chore. It is easier to handle than my big watering can and less likely to spill water on the mahogany side-tables full of plants. Although this is a time consuming job, it gives me a chance to take a close look at each plant to see how it is doing. There is one saving grace in living with only a balcony garden: there don’t seem to be as many predators up here. But I’m reminded of that pesky white moth that last summer laid its eggs on my valued Brussels sprouts plants. The hatch made Belgian lace out of all the leaves. No sprouts, in fact no plants either before they were through.

District of Central Saanich - May 13, 2013 Devon MacKenzie News staff
• Kate Mansell and Kyla Sanderson from The Boys and Girls Club of Central Saanich approached the Community, Protective Services and Facilities Committee about the deterioration of their current facilities in behind the United Church in Brentwood Bay — which is possibly up for redevelopment.
The Club requested the municipality allow them to locate a new facility on municipal land and council asked staff to look into spaces that might be appropriate for such a facility. • The Public Works and Transportation committee addressed correspondence from a resident on Rodolph Road who is requesting a streetlight be installed on the road. After hearing from the public on the topic, council directed staff to seek input from the Central Saanich Police Service on the crime rate in the area and how much a street light in the area may deter or not deter a thief or vandal. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

The total calls for service in Sidney were 708 and 439 in North Saanich. “We are very low on crime,” said Cross, adding he feels his community might have one of the lowest crime rates in the province.
The RCMP has, with the help of the area municipalities, set its 2013/14 policing priorities and will focus on: impaired and aggressive driving, thefts from automobiles, police and aboriginal community relations and drug trafficking through organized crime. The local detachment will
continue with its prolific offender management program — running compliance checks, targeting individuals engaged in illegal activity with the help of their regional policing partners. The goal, states O’Gorman in his report, is to prevent certain people from re-offending. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

Local student named tops in A&E national essay contest Devon MacKenzie News staff
A Brentwood Bay teen was named tops in an A&E essay contest this past month. In April, Reef Gladwin, a Grade 8 student at Bayside Middle School won first prize in the Grade 5 to 8 category of the A&E Lives That Make a Difference Essay Contest. Gladwin’s essay, titled Fearless Felix, outlines and commends Felix Baumgartner’s contribution to space exploration. A&E, a popular television network, chose Gladwin’s essay from numerous submissions received from all over
Canada. “Acts of courage, whether big or small, have the capacity to inspire us all,” said Libby O’Connell, senior vice president, corporate outreach for the A&E Network, in a press release. “As the first person to break the sound barrier, Felix Baumgartner not only amazed the world, but taught Reef and all Canadians alike that just about anything is possible.” Gladwin received $2,000 for his winning submission and his teacher received $1,000 for use in the classroom. — With files from A&E

Stingers win Island soccer title Stelly’s last in the provincials as hosts in 2010
Stelly’s 2-2, and defeated Dover Bay 3-1. Stelly’s beat Dover 2-0 and Cowichan 5-0. Belmont’s goal surrendered to Dover Bay turned out to be the difference maker. “There’s nothing you can do about it. It was decided before the tournament and there’s only two spots,” said Belmont coach Bud Livingstone. “It’s just a shame to see a team which went undefeated in regulation all season miss a trip to provincials.” Belmont’s only two losses this season came in penalty kick shootouts during the UVic high school tournament last month. The Stingers and Breakers qualify for the AAA senior high school girls soccer provincials at Argyle secondary in North Vancouver, May 30 to June 1. Perhaps lost in the many AAA girls soccer story lines is the potential for the Oak Bay Breakers to hit the final four at the AAA provincials. The team is backed by Peninsula Co-op Highlanders defender Elise Butler, a constant director of traffic on the field and leader on and off it. Stelly’s last competed in the provincials as hosts in 2010. Prior to that the Stinger’s last reached provincials in 2006.
Travis Paterson News staff
The Stelly’s Stingers edged the Oak Bay Breakers 1-0 (3-2) in a penalty kick shootout to decide the Island AAA high school girls soccer champions at Hampton Park on Tuesday, May 14. It was a tough loss for the Breakers and an even tougher one for the Ryan Cup champ Belmont Bulldogs, who were beat out for a spot in the AAA final on a tiebreaker of goal differential which went to the Stingers. It was a “gritty” performance by both finalists as it was their fourth game in two days. “The final game was just sheer determination and grit by both teams,” said Stingers coach Jackie Cunningham. “Both teams were exhausted and battled like warriors. The shootout came down to the team who made one less mistake.” The Stelly’s keeper made three saves to clinch the win. In pool play Belmont defeated Cowichan 5-0, tied

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.
It’s so easy to get started… call
