Four North Saanich employees resign Four staffers resign and move on to new jobs; a fifth retired last month Steven Heywood News staff
Four people have resigned from the ranks of the District of North Saanich municipal hall in one month. A fifth has retired earlier last month as well, adding to the strain on remaining staff until replacements can be found. Chief administrative officer Rob Buchan told the News Review that the four individuals — two planners, a records manager and the longtime public works superintendent — all resigned in May. None were terminated and all have taken on new jobs elsewhere. The resignations leave the district without key staff and has caused delays to ongoing projects. Buchan said while the district is down those four positions, service levels will be impacted. “Without the people to do the job, it can’t get done,” he said. “We will be doing our best to carry on.” The two planning positions were permanent employees. Their departure leaves only the director of planning and community services, Mark Brodrick, and one temporary planner. The district’s records management position has been in existence for only two years, while the public works superintendent, Brian Robinson, had been a long-time employee of the District of North Saanich. The district is looking to re-hire people into all of those positions and Buchan said that process will take time. In-house resources will be used to hire new staff, conduct interviews and provide training if need be. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com Banner Ad:Saanichton Physio

New faces in larger B.C. cabinet New ministries added: natural gas development and international trade Tom Fletcher News staff
VICTORIA — Premier Christy Clark unveiled her new cabinet at an outdoor ceremony in downtown Vancouver on Friday June 7, keeping veterans in some key roles and bringing in newcomers elected in the B.C. Liberals’ upset election win. Clark appointed 19 ministers, adding two new ministries. Fort Langley-Aldergrove MLA Rich Coleman takes over the new ministry of natural gas development, retaining responsibilities as deputy premier and minister responsible for housing. Newly elected Richmond Centre MLA Teresa Wat takes on a new ministry of international trade, including B.C.’s AsiaPacific strategy and multiculturalism. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, another newcomer, moves into the transportation ministry. Vancouver-Fraserview MLA Suzanne Anton, a former Crown prosecutor and Vancouver city councillor, will be justice minister and attorney-general. Langley City mayor and rookie SurreyFleetwood MLA Peter Fassbender moves into the hot seat as education minister. His first task is to work on Clark’s goal of reaching a long-term contract settlement
with B.C. teachers. Another newcomer is Surrey-Tynehead MLA Amrik Virk, taking over as advanced education minister. Third-term Nechako Lakes MLA John Rustad makes cabinet as aboriginal relations minister, where he is assigned to continue developing resource and treaty agreements around the province. Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Andrew Wilkinson, a former deputy minister and B.C. Liberal Party president, takes over a renamed technology, innovation and citizen services ministry. Comox Valley MLA Don McRae moves from education to another renamed role, social development and social innovation. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake moves from environment to health, the largest ministry in the B.C. government. Kootenay East MLA Bill Bennett takes over from Coleman in the energy and mines ministry. Bennett was also placed in charge of the government’s “core review,” a cross-government efficiency exercise. Rookie Cariboo North MLA Coralee Oakes takes over Bennett’s former role as community, sport and cultural development minister.
Veteran ministers from the Gordon Campbell era remain in key roles. Prince George-Valemount MLA and cabinet veteran Shirley Bond goes from justice to jobs, tourism and skills training, also responsible for labour. Langley MLA Mary Polak goes from transportation to environment. Abbotsford West MLA Mike de Jong remains finance minister and B.C. Liberal house leader, preparing for a legislative session expected to start this month to pass the budget introduced in February. Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson remains at forest, lands and natural resource operations, and Surrey-Cloverdale MLA Stephanie Cadieux stays as children and family development minister. North Vancouver-Lonsdale MLA Naomi Yamamoto is minister of state for tourism and small business. Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm takes over as agriculture minister, replacing Kelowna-Lake Country MLA Norm Letnick, one of three people dropped from cabinet. Also shuffled out are are West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan, who had briefly been minister of state for seniors, and Vancouver-Langara MLA Moira Stilwell from social development. — Black Press
BeefsAndBouquets I recently attended the Peninsula Singers production of A Night at the Movies held at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney. I must say that I was so thoroughly impressed and entertained by this spectacular performance. I would like to pass along a heartfelt congratulations to each and every member of the cast on the success of A Night at the Movies. The production was lively and humorous and the dancing and choreography were extremely professional. Every detail of the show was top notch, including the costumes and lighting. The evening was by far one of the most enjoyable experiences I have had with live theatre. Residents of Sidney and the Peninsula are so very fortunate to have such a high caliber of live entertainment within our community. I look forward to seeing many more productions. Sidney Mayor Larry Cross To the person who is constantly throwing their household garbage out of their car window as they take the Wain Road overpass. It’s a regular occurrence and the garbage bag contains items ranging from a frozen pizza box, to a plastic mayonnaise jar, an ice-cream box, fast food garbage and numerous other things. This is a regular occurrence. If you read this, stop being so disgusting and do the responsible thing. Use a garbage can like the rest of us! Marla Parsons Bouquets to all the candidates in the recent B.C. election who
represented Saanich North and the Islands. Not once did you get nasty or disrespectful to each other. You all ran a good campaign and the parties you represented should be proud of you. What an example you all set! Sidney Councillor Kenny Podmore During the recent provincial election on May 14, my wife and I together with about 25 other people, operated the polling stations at the Mary Winspear Centre. Working the election is a very long day, from when the set-up of the polls begins at about 7 a.m. to when the counting is finished at about 9 p.m. with no scheduled meal breaks. Serious Coffee on Beacon Avenue made certain that we were supplied with fresh coffee all day long at no charge. It was wonderful to be able to get a hot ‘cuppa’ from time to time as the hours wore on and Serious Coffee certainly has my gratitude and that of all the others. A company that participates in helping its community in this way deserves our patronage and support and as someone who is already a very satisfied customer there, I will be encouraging my friends to enjoy their store. Brad Franklin A beef to the person who scraped the back bumper of our black truck between 12:15 and 1:15 p.m. in the Sidney Thrifty Foods parking lot on May 20.

North Saanich wants clarity on its OCP policies Steven Heywood
cil at their June 3 meeting that he was told by staff that policy, while it was part of the OCP, had not yet come into effect. That effectively meant that the Harris’ would not be getting a rebate. “What takes precedence, bylaws or the OCP,” asked Harris. “I think that the OCP is an instrument to defer decisions.” Councillor Ted Daly said he was surprised that the OCP says one thing, but that the action needed to be taken to enact it has not yet occurred. “I want to strike that part of the (OCP) bylaw if council has no intent on following through,” Daly said. “It’s mislead-
News staff
North Saanich council wants there to be some way for residents to know what policies out of the district’s official community plan (OCP) are in effect and which ones are not. Residents Rod and Linda Harris had approached the municipality more than a year ago, inquiring about the district’s policy in regards to green building construction. They were under the impression that the OCP included provisions for a rebate to homeowners who followed green practices in the renovation of their home. Rod Harris told coun-

“Our OCP should have a way for people to know what policy statements aren’t in place.” – Ted Daly ing and we should strike it from the bylaw.” Chief administrative officer Rob Buchan said the district’s OCP contains a variety of policies, none of which council is obliged to implement. “But once (council) does so, the subsequent bylaw must be consistent with the outline of the overall OCP,” Buchan explained.
Final Days! Offer ends June 30
He added that this particular policy in the OCP — allowing for rebates on green construction — is not in effect by way of council bylaw. Nor could it be made retroactive, under law, should council decide to vote it into effect. Buchan also warned of the potential consequences of dropping policies from the overall OCP bylaw. “If council wanted to remove all of the policies in the OCP that aren’t implemented,” he said, “they would find a large portion of the OCP would disappear.” Coun. Craig Mearns said, however, he likes the idea of offering
rebates — as well as offering the Harris’ a rebate on their renovation, if it can legally be done. Buchan noted that district staff have been working on a green housing plan, which to date has not yet been enacted by council. Director of planing Mark Brodrick added a
climate change action plan was completed by a consultant some time ago, but it too remains inactive. Daly suggested that council get the green housing rebate plan in motion, a move approved by all of council. Daly added he would like there to be some
way for people — and council — to know what portions of the district’s OCP are in effect and which ones are not. “Our OCP should have a way for people to know what policy statements aren’t in place.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Let’s all toast dad’s health
It may not be the most enjoyable thing to think about on Father’s Day this weekend. But to help more dads stick around for more years, it’s as good a time as any to remind men 40 and over – and younger men with a history of cancer in their families – to get their prostate checked out. Prostate cancer As the folks at The Centre in awareness is a Prostate Victoria have been powerful force telling us for years now, prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among Canadian men. In 2012, an estimated 25,500 men were diagnosed and 4,100 died from the disease in this country. The Centre estimates that on Vancouver Island, 788 men were diagnosed with prostate cancer and 114 died from it. Now for the good news. Where it is caught and treated early enough, prostate cancer has a low mortality rate of about one in every 27 diagnoses. In other words, patients who don’t wait until a problem arises to take action survive 90 to 95 per cent of the time. That’s where the work of organizations such as The Prostate Centre has become invaluable. They not only provide support for patients and families dealing with prostate cancer treatment and offer information to men interested in finding out more details, they are helping get the word out. The more men know about their options and take steps to look after their own health, the less this common yet potentially deadly cancer will steal our dads from us. This Sunday’s Safeway Father’s Day walk/run, happening from 10 a.m. to noon at Royal Roads University in Colwood, is a fundraiser for the Centre. Ditto for the upcoming West Coast Motorcycle Ride to Live. It doesn’t happen on Father’s Day (it goes June 23), but organizers of the event have the right idea. They’re making a lot of noise – literally and figuratively – to raise awareness of the need for middle-aged men to be proactive with their own health. What do you think?

Food waste change is happening, like it or not
I
am appalled at the lack of acceptance by our Central Saanich residents. It would seem any progress that could be made is shut down with noses in the air for no reason other than they don’t like change and there’s a big “not in my back yard” attitude. Stanhope Farm and Foundation Organics have been very active in providing services that will, in time, be mandatory. The CRD is phasing out food waste from the Hartland Landfill. This is a change that is happening, like it or not. Food waste is collected on the farm and
is composted, in a few months, to create nutrient rich soil. This is waste from large facilities such as grocery stores, restaurants and even cruise ships. Ever think of how much food waste comes from such places and where it ends up? Some residents have complained of noise and smell ... hello? This is a farm. Noise and smells are a part of farming. Personally I have spent time in the area and between the smell of the horses and the pigs and other animals, who can tell the difference?
Actually, I can’t smell much of anything coming from their state of the art, modern facility with proper filters, etc. As for the noise, I couldn’t hear it over the highway noise and air traffic. I read today that their attempts of yet again, being environmentally ahead of the times, by using aquamation to process deceased pets so that the bodies can be put to some future use, and their bones ground up similar to ashes for pet owners, has been shot down as well. This seems like a bunch of hogwash to me. People need to stop complain-
ing about things and look at the good that can be done, the environment that can be helped and the future of our land. These methods of disposal are the way of the future and I applaud these proactive business people for their ability to see a future in them. We need to learn to move forward and not hold our landowners back. Educate yourselves, I have been, and I find it all quite fascinating. Christine Duffield Saanichton
Readers respond: Rotary conference, teachers union, Beacon Avenue, senators and oceans Rotarians enjoyed their stay in Sidney Sidney played host to the 2013 Rotary District 5020 Conference held at the Mary Winspear Center from May 31 through June 2. Over 350 Rotarians, guests, university Rotaract students, high school Interact students and Rotary Youth Exchange students from around the world participated in the conference theme of Generations of Service. The focus of the conference was to celebrate District Governor Judy Byron’s year guiding District 5020, along with the achievements of individual Rotarians and clubs during the past year. The second focus was to highlight the Town of Sidney and the Saanich Peninsula. There was overwhelming support from the merchants and the citizens of Sidney during the conference. Most of the attending Rotarians had never been to Sidney and in previous visits to Vancouver Island had bypassed our town heading directly to Victoria. They were amazed at the beauty of Sidney, the welcome they received with banners erected on lampposts and posters in shop windows, and the outpouring of friendliness that our little town is famous for. Many commented that they will be returning to Sidney for future visits. We wish to thank the Town of Sidney, the Mary Winspear Centre, the Sidney Merchant’s Co-op, the BIA, the Sidney Business Association, Thrifty Foods, Island Culinary Service, all the participating hotels, motels, B&Bs, the merchants of Sidney, the RCMP and the citizens of Sidney for your support in making the 2013 Rotary District Conference a great success. Dan Mercer & Peter Guerra on behalf of the 2013 District 5020 Conference Committee Sidney
Unions in every classroom?
Thank you for the editorial by Tom Fletcher, bringing awareness
to the populace about where our teachers’ interests lie. It is shameful that the B.C. Court of Appeal feels that the schoolroom is an appropriate setting for teachers to set out their propaganda. It is bad enough that they parade in front of the schools when they are on strike, indicating to the children that they are not interested in teaching, just having more money and benefits. What next? Are we going to have every union coming into the classrooms? When it comes to funding, perhaps one should check out the BCTF expenditures and realize that the majority of the expenses go to the teachers’ salaries. Interesting. Joyce Mylymok Sidney
Two-way street, please Please change Beacon Avenue back to a two-way street. I support that plan to return Beacon Avenue to once again allow traffic to travel both directions for the numerous benefits it brings to the businesses on this street — easier and better access for residents and visitors alike — and its contribution to a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly downtown.

to have expense accounts. I’m appalled that these senators, who are paid from our tax dollars, are so selfish. They care not for the less fortunate, hard working people who built and are building this country. On the other hand, who would pay for the airfare to bring them here? The lunch was free. Katie Booth Sidney
Driver vs. driver Re: the roundabout works just fine. For Paul Tuckwell to suggest that Mr. Edwards “must no longer be qualified to hold a valid drivers’ license” is the height of both arrogance and ignorance. I see distracted cell phone yapping drivers all over the place. I see cars racing past pedestrians in crosswalks. I have become leery of taking my 50-year-old car out at any time. I certainly go nowhere near “Lunn’s Folly.” I’ll put my drivers’ abstract up against Mr. Tuckwell’s any day. Brian Shepherd Sidney Editor’s Note: The following letters were written by students at Parkland Secondary School, as part of an assignment in teacher Jeff Hilton’s oceanography class.
Selfish senators
We depend on our oceans
I would like to offer my humble opinion on the scandal in Ottawa involving some of our senators. We should have invited them to the Beacon Community Services Volunteer Appreciation lunch on May 31 at the Shoal Centre in Sidney. Here they would have had an opportunity to meet 200 of the 512 volunteers. Many of these valuable citizens have serious health issues themselves but still offer their services to help others in need. Some have volunteered for as long as 32 years. That is longer than a lot of working careers. Imagine if all these people were
For millions of years, mankind has depended on the oceans of the blue planet, earth. Only just recently have we discovered that the ocean is in danger. Concerned scientists and a portion of the general public are suggesting that we are overharvesting many species and contaminating the oceans, placing our planet and future generations at great risk. I have spent my entire life on the water patrolling up and down the coast, working alongside the commercial and recreational fleets with my dad. It is my opinion that it is possible to balance
what we harvest from the ocean with what is required to make oceans sustainable. At this time, there are oil rigs and ships spilling oil and polluting our oceans, killing our whales, porpoises, other fish and waterfowl that swim through it. The ocean may seem enormous but it is a vulnerable habitat. If we can’t keep this habitat alive, then how will mankind survive in the long run? I am 18 years old and a student at Parkland Secondary School and in my opinion, we require strong regulatory controls for all other groups (transportation, oil, gas, etc.) and science-based harvest plans that ensure the survival of all marine species that rely upon this delicate habitat. We can work together to make a difference. Nikki Bunn
Do the little things It’s easy to brush off the urgency of the decline in our oceans’ health. It doesn’t affect our day-to-day lives and you can’t necessarily see the change in the ocean. Anything that’s in the news seems too far away; it’s not our problem. But it is. Our job as an ocean side community is to make an conscious effort to take care of our ocean and in turn, its inhabitants. We need to assess our day-today lives and acknowledge various things we can do, no matter how small, to have a positive — or less negative — affect on our
ocean. For example, using biodegradable soap and car wash, or making sure our garbage doesn’t end up on the road where it can get washed into the ocean. It’s those little things that, when combined, can have a huge impact. We need to protect our oceans now more than ever and take pride in the beautiful place we should be honoured to live in. Jamie Hargreaves
Don’t add to the patch We depend on our oceans for several different daily activities such as transportation, food, trade, business and leisure. Yet it seems we are not appreciating our oceans as we should. More pollution and garbage is added to our waters every day. It has come to the point in which a large collection of debris has formed in the Pacific Ocean, known as the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. And a second patch is located in the Atlantic. Due to its unique, scattered location and the microscopic nature of its content, the patch is difficult to spot. It also gives us the major issue of how we can clean up such a monumental area in such deep ocean water. We can help by not adding to these patches. As a student in the Parkland Secondary Marine Institute, I encourage you to spread the message and help clean up our oceans. Next time you walk along the beach, pick up any litter you come across. The ocean and the fish will thank you. Morgan Bacheldor

Volunteers make the wheels go ‘round for the Island’s Grape Escape MS Ride Food, wine, the Island landscape and a great vibe that comes with knowing you’re supporting a great cause...the only thing that could possibly beat riding in July’s Cowichan Valley Grape Escape for MS would be volunteering for it! Part of the nation-wide MS Bike Tour, the Cowichan Valley Grape Escape is a picturesque two-day ride through the Valley July 6 and 7, with several distances to accommodate different riders and numerous stops at wineries, farms and other unique destinations along the way. One of the MS Society’s most important fundraisers, proceeds from the ride directly support local programs for individuals living with multiple sclerosis and research to find a cure. A complex neurological disease often diagnosed in young adults aged 15 to 40, multiple sclerosis is unpredictable, affecting vision, hearing, memory, balance and mobility. However, no one need face MS alone. Here in Victoria, volunteers and MS Society staff provide information, support, educational events and other resources for people with MS and their families. Researchers funded by the MS Society work to develop new and better treatments. However, none of this is possible without the tireless efforts of volunteers, notes Charmaine Niebergall, Special Events and Volunteer Resources Coordinator. “To make the Bike Tour happen last year we welcomed 205 volunteers who provided 1,170 hours of their time – we couldn’t do it without them!” Positions last from a few hours to longer, depending on where and when you are able to volunteer, with positions ranging from pre-event activities here in Victoria such as early pledge drop-off, to ride day activities such as marshalling and silent

auction set-up. Volunteers also act as greeters at each stop along the ride, including farms, galleries and wineries. “There are positions that require a short commitment and positions where you can be involved all weekend, depending on what you prefer,” Niebergall says. In addition to the funds raised for the MS Society, one of the real successes of the event is the sense of community it creates among participants, volunteers, MS Society staff and those with MS and their families, who realize they are not alone as they live with the disease. “I think our volunteers want to make a difference both for the MS Society and for the community in general,” Niebergall says. Plus, “it’s a lot of fun!” Volunteer and ride veteran Monica Turner agrees. Turner participated in the ride several times and since has returned to volunteer. One of the Leadership Volunteers on the Bike Tour Committee, she commends the Society in its treatment of volunteers and in the programs and services it provides with the money raised, something she witnessed first-hand when her Vancouver Island Health Authority job shared office space with the Society. the lunteering with vo “I got to see that nothing is wasted,” or g in rid n Have fu rape Escape. she says, pointing to programs such G y lle Va n ha ic Cow as physiotherapy, occupational therapy and counselling available for people who

Triple-threat Josie Tamburri racking up recognition Devon MacKenzie News staff
A local dancer has been racking up the accolades and taking home plenty of trophies lately. Josie Tamburri, a student at Allegro Performing Arts Centre, has been dancing for 11 years and recently took home two trophies for both dancing and singing. “I’ve been dancing almost my whole life but singing was something I’d always loved to do as well, so I started taking lessons about three years ago,” said Tamburri, who recently returned from The Provincial Festival of Performing Arts which was held in Chilliwack. While she was there, Tamburri represented the Island for junior stage in dance and was selected as an observer in musical theatre voice and classical voice. “It was challenging and very busy but it was so great. I learned so much,” she said of C

Every June highschool students are focused on one thing before they are set free for the summer — final exams. For the Parkland Dance Classes, however, the students had one more exciting event before the tests — the final dance showcase. On June 6, 40 students from Grades nine to 12 put on a fun and entertaining dance showcase, highlighting everything they have learned over the second semester. From tap to jazz to hip hop to contemporary dance, the show provided the audience with a variety of different styles. The students worked incredibly hard over the semester learning, rehearsing and choreographing dances. For some, this semester provided them with their first experience of dancing and performing on stage. Aside from last Thursday night’s show, the students also got the chance to perform in front of other schools from Saanich, Victoria and Sooke at the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival held at UVic in April. Grade 11 student Taylor Holsten seized the opportunity to share her creativity and passion for dance, choreographing a modern jazz dance and impressing her teacher with both

1500m Race Walk title in Langley. Gaby, competing for Parkland Secondary School, set a new personal best time in taking the gold, beating her previous best by over 30 seconds. “Winning the title was not easy,” said Gaby afterwards. “There were three of us battling the whole way and because it is a very technical event, we had to make sure that we were not breaking the rules which govern walking. One of the girls was, in fact, disqualified for lifting — that is, running — during the race.” Eventually, Gaby was able to squeeze out the victory over her fellow Island competitor, Natalie Henderson of Oak Bay Secondary, who had to settle for silver just two seconds behind. Gaby, who only began to take up race walking seriously a season ago, first began participating in track as a Track Rascal with the Club when she was seven years old. Since then, she has been active in most of the throwing events as well as doing distance running. This was a very special occasion for Parkland School since, just a couple of months ago, they had raised a banner in its gymnasium to salute older brother Spencer’s similar triumph in the boy’s 1500m race walk in the same championships two years ago. At age 16, Jacqueline will have two more years to look to retaining her title and improve on her performance.

Aviation Museum parking lot sale this Saturday Steven Heywood News staff
There will be plenty to see and to buy in the parking lot of the B.C. Aviation Museum this weekend. On Saturday, June 15, the Museum holds its annual parking lot sale. Organizer and secretary to the Museum’s board of directors, Eleanore Arkesteyn says there will be a collection of goods donated to the sale mostly by the museum’s volunteers and board members. Anyone can donate to the sale — which is a fundraiser for the B.C. Aviation Museum — but they do not take large items or large electronics, such as microwave ovens or anything bigger. Donations can be dropped off by Thursday, June 13 at the latest, she said. Also up for sale will be aviation and military books from the Museum’s collection. The parking lot sale coincides with the Museum’s annual Father’s Day by-donation admission special.

The B.C. Aviation Museum in North Saanich hosts its annual parking lot sale this weekend. The Museum opens at 9 a.m. and closes at 4 p.m and all entry is by-donation only. The parking lot sale itself is running from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. — starting one hour earlier than last year, Arkesteyn said. That is to allow people an earlier start to their day. The sale — which goes rain or shine — have been going on
for years, said Arkesteyn, noting that it was running even before she got involved with the Museum in 2007. “We’re always trying to organize it a little better each time,” she added. To learn more about the B.C. Aviation Museum, its events, tours and projects, visit www. bcam.net.

A new program kicking off this summer will offer weeknight fun in parks for local families. Panorama Recreation kicks off their Play in the Park program July 2 which will feature a variety of activities being held in local parks. “The idea came from a conference that some of our staff attended and the city of Kelowna actually put in place a similar program not too long ago,” said Adrienne Gadd, the community recreation coordinator at Panorama. “Last year we presented the idea to the recreation commission

Play in the Park will run weekday evenings through the summer months (July and August) in seven local neighbourhood parks spread throughout North and Central Saanich and Sidney. The parks are: Pioneer Park, Iroquois Park, North Saanich Middle School, Rodolph Park, Centennial Park, Wain Road Park and Rathdown Park. “The program will give families a fantastic opportunity to meet other people in their communities and their
