CS Mayor seeks clarity from ALC
Alastair Bryson asks residents to appeal to ALC on compost issue Devon MacKenzie News staff
The normally quiet council chamber at Central Saanich municipal hall was taken over by 150-plus residents on Tuesday who wanted their voices heard on the issue of composting at Stanhope Farm. Concerns from speakers ranged from the impact of the odour on quality of life, to what effects the odour could be having on their health to lasting impressions the pungent odour has left on visitors who have travelled through the municipality. Recently, the composting facility on Lochside Drive appealed a decision by the Capital Regional District to suspend their licenses but cancelled a court date last week after they filed a petition in B.C. Supreme Court. Public court documents revealed the company had filed a judicial review petition, but last Friday a scheduled court date was cancelled by Foundation Organics’ lawyer, John Alexander. The two parties are now planning to work through the CRD’s appeal process. During Tuesday night’s meeting Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson emphasized he is pushing for the public to appeal to both the CRD and more importantly the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) with their concerns. “I’m afraid I’m going to ruffle a few feathers by saying this,” Bryson said, before explaining that the production of compost is an outright permitted use on farm land in the Agricultural Land Reserve under ALC provincial jurisdiction. “We are not legally allowed to forbid it,” he said. Questions from the public on the enforcement of the municipality’s bylaws were answered with more encouragement from both the mayor and council to contact the ALC. They say that the ALC may hold the loophole to the legalities surrounding enforcement issues if they determine Foundation Organics is operating a commercial industrial composting facility.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE is hereby given of a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the Central Saanich Fire Training Centre, 1903 Mt. Newton Cross Road, Saanichton, BC, at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 11, 2013 with regard to the following proposed Bylaws to amend the OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW NO. 1600, 2008 and the LAND USE BYLAW NO. 1309, 1999.
CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1816, 2013 (8069 THOMSON PLACE) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to amend Appendix “A” of Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 for the area of land legally described as Lot 17, Sections 3 and 4, Range 1 West, South Saanich District, Plan 30146 (8069 Thomson Place), as shown shaded on the map, by adding the following to the regulations for the Rural Estate Acreage (RE-1) Zone:

Airport trail gives back to the community Tim Collins Contributor
The 9.3 kilometre paved trail around the Victoria International Airport is just another example of the Airport Authority’s commitment to giving back to the community, said airport president and CEO, Geoff Dickson. “It’s important to us to be a positive part of this community and projects like this allow us the opportunity to contribute to its quality of life,” said Dickson. He said that the noise generated by aircraft, coupled with increased traffic and other concerns has at times created an opinion that airports are less than ideal neighbours. “We need to address that perception,” he said. The trail will go a long way to demonstrate that the Airport Authority’s commitment is to improving the community, he said. The $4.2 million project, entirely funded by the Airport Authority, was actually started in 2008 with the installation of a bike path along Mills Road. The bulk of the work, however, has been done in the past year and a half and now only a small section along East Saanich Road remains to be completed. The entire pathway should be finished by mid-September. “It’s going to provide the community with some amazing views of Patricia Bay and other incredible mountain and ocean vistas,” said
Dickson. “But they’ll also be able to see, up close and personal, everything from big 737’s to military helicopters as they come and go from the airport. For aviation buffs, it’s doubly exciting.” It isn’t the first time that the Airport Authority has stepped up to the plate for the community, according to Eric Van Rooyen, the President of the Peninsula Baseball and Softball Association. “In the mid-nineties, with the help of the Airport Authority, we were able to open Rotary Park – Field of Dreams on airport land,” said Van Rooyen, noting he facility is one of the best baseball and softball fields on Vancouver Island. “We are truly blessed to have this facility, and it wouldn’t have happened without the airport’s help. This trail just adds to our facility as well,” he said. Even before its official opening, it’s apparent that the trail has already attracted a substantial base of users. “We have staff from the airport, the B.C. Aviation Museum, Viking Air and the Thrifty Food distribution centre all joining community residents to bike, jog and walk the trail,” said Dickson. “It’s a huge topic of interest and excitement in the community.” The official opening of the trail is slated for October. More information on the trail can be found at www.victoriaairport. com/news/2012/a-new-bike-andwalking-trail-for-victoria-airport.

Bylaw No. 1816, 2013 - Subject Property
“Other Regulations Despite the regulations under the heading “Lot Coverage and Area”, the minimum lot area for subdivision of the land legally described as Lot 17, Sections 3 and 4, Range 1 West, South Saanich District, Plan 30146 shall be 1.45 ha.” The intent of the proposed bylaw amendment is to facilitate the subdivision of the subject property at 8069 Thomson Place into two lots.
CENTRAL SAANICH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW AND LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAWS (KEATING CROSS ROAD AND WEST SAANICH ROAD) 1. CENTRAL SAANICH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 1792, 2012 (Tourist Commercial – South of Keating Cross Road and East of West Saanich Road) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to: a. amend the Central Saanich Official Community Plan Schedule ‘A’ Land Use Plan by changing the land use designation of the Easterly 196.4 Feet of Lot 3, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423 (1515 Keating Cross Road), and those portions of both Lot B, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 13537 (1509 Keating Cross Road) and Lot 2, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423, shown shaded on the map, from Tourist Commercial to Multi-Family Residential; and, b. amend the Central Saanich Official Community Plan Schedule ‘D’ Development Permit Areas by designating the properties legally described the Easterly 196.4 Feet of Lot 3, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423 (1515 Keating Cross Road), and those portions of both Lot B, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 13537 (1509 Keating Cross Road) and Lot 2, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423 as a Development Permit Area for Multi-Family Residential. 2. CENTRAL SAANICH LAND USE BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW NO. 1793, 2012 (Artisan Properties – 4 Lots at Keating Cross Road and West Saanich Road) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to: a. amend the text in the Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 in Subsection 12 of Section 38 of Part 5 by adding “Restaurant” in appropriate alphabetical order to the list of permitted uses for the Tourist Commercial (C-5) zone; b. amend Schedule 1 (Zoning Map) in the Central Saanich Land Use Bylaw No. 1309, 1999 by changing the zoning designation of the Easterly 196.4 Feet of Lot 3, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423 (1515 Keating Cross Road), and those portions of both Lot B, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 13537 (1509 Keating Cross Road) and Lot 2, Section 14, Range 1 East, SSD, Plan 1423, as shown shaded on the map from Tourist Commercial (C-5) to Residential Attached (RM-3). 3. CENTRAL SAANICH OFFICIAL COMMUNITY PLAN BYLAW AMENDMENT BYLAW 1796, 2012 (Tourist Commercial – South of Keating Cross Road and East of West Saanich Road) In general terms, the purpose of the proposed Bylaw is to amend the text in Central Saanich Official Community Plan Bylaw 1600, 2008 by adding the following at the end of Section 4.2: “Policy 11 A cluster of commercial properties exists at the crossroads of Keating Cross Road and West Saanich Road, outside the Urban Settlement Area. The initial commercial designation and development of these properties dates back to the 1950’s, prior to the introduction of an Urban Settlement Area within municipal bylaws or the adoption of the first Regional Growth Strategy. The historical provision of urban services to this area is an anomaly to the general pattern of urban servicing otherwise supported by this OCP. Recognizing the existing level of urban services already provided to these lands, despite Section 4.2 Policy 3, a more intensive form of residential development may be approved in conjunction with tourist-oriented uses on adjacent parcels designated Tourist Commercial lying south of Keating Cross Road and east of West Saanich Road.”
Bylaw No. 1792, 1793 & 1796, 2012 - Subject Property
The intent of the proposed Bylaw amendments is to facilitate the development of a multi-family residential development on the subject properties while retaining the existing restaurant in the Tourist Commercial zone.

OUR VIEW
Kudos to city’s cruise industry Tourism in Victoria is in ship-shape according to the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. The region welcomed its five-millionth cruise ship passenger last week – the title officially granted jointly to newlyweds Michael Nace and Patricia Guthrie of Santee, Calif. on Aug. 30. It was the icing on the cake for the harbour authority, which recorded a banner year. And it is not alone. Early numbers indicate Victoria enjoyed the best tourist season since 2008 this year, beginning in the spring and heating up along with the summer weather. Hotel occupancy was up 1.5 per cent compared to last year and the average daily room rate increased by more than $10 this quarter. Aside from hotel rooms, the cruise ship industry is integral to that success. In 2001, a mere 71 ships arrived at Ogden Point, compared to the 210 scheduled to enter the port this year, including the Celebrity Solstice, one of the largest ships at sea, which brings up to 3,000 passengers and 1,000 crew to the city each week. With tourism numbers down across the country, not to mention Greater Victoria’s lull over the last few years, those coming by sea are an integral part of the brighter tourism picture in our region. The cruise industry now brings in approximately 15 per cent of the estimated three million visitors to Victoria each year. Reaching the five-million mark is a coup for the harbour authority, especially in light of the fact that it is a not-for-profit corporation that operates Fisherman’s Wharf, Ship Point in the Inner Harbour, Wharf and Johnson Street marinas. The ships bring a consistent flow of tourists that bolster each community event and increase the lively, vibrant feel of the city that entices visitors to return. Despite issues with its neighbours, which the harbour authority continues to address, the cruise ship business is clearly good for the region and should be given our support and congratulations.

Then I think about the children that are able to go to camp through East Seals fundraisers such as this.

LETTERS
Residents not smelling typical farm odour
I
n his letter to the editor (PNR, Aug. 23) Mr. Walters asserts that residents of the Saanich Peninsula repay the provender of the local farmers by getting “upset over the occasional odour that may come from their farms and try and shut them down.” He says we have the freedom to move and he points out that in decades past there were more farmers than we see now. He is correct — but not because residents complained and shut farms down. Farm kids have had more options in recent years than in generations past and not all chose to stay on the land. Some
farms are gone because retiring farmers had the opportunity to sell the land for development, thus the establishment of the Agricultural Land Reserve. Some are gone because the province shut down small abattoirs which put farmed animals too far from market and fewer animals require less hay. All these factors affect our farmers, but in the 19 years I have lived here I know of no one who ever seriously objected to natural farm odours and certainly no farm operation has ever been forced to shut down. If Mr. Walters has information to the contrary I would like to hear it.
Sure, we joke about it when the fields are freshly fertilized but it doesn’t last long and the truth is that we are so accustomed to natural farm odours most of the time we hardly smell them. We just smell the land, the smell of living in this place. Of course we don’t object to the farms, we could have lived anywhere else but we chose to live here. I applaud Mr. Walters’ effort to defend our farmers but they are not at risk. What is at risk is a single inadequately contained regional food waste processing facility located on farm land operating in breach of the bylaw and grossly offending
its neighbours - including neighbouring farmers. No, Mr. Walters, this not a farm issue. No farm on the Peninsula has ever generated a smell like this. This is not an inconvenient farm aroma, it is the deeply offensive noxious stench of garbage on an industrial scale that we have lived with nearly every day of this otherwise beautiful summer. I chose to live here but I can’t leave because on the worst days I couldn’t give my house away. Rebecca Cotterell Tanner Ridge
Readers respond: Sidney’s scooters, North Saanich council, compost odour Sidney draws scooter scorn
Inquisition or due dilligence?
Welcome to Sidney by the Sea. Come and see our newest tourist attraction — seniors drag racing down the sidewalks with their electric scooters. They can reach the mind boggling speed of 10 km/h and they may even finish with a burnout donut. Maybe we could also host a competitive oneblock-dash with the old armstrong push models. If you decide to come, wear a helmet (although they are not required for drivers). You never know when one of the scooters could get out of control. V. Gordon Sidney
North Saanich Councillors, Craig Mearns, Conny McBride and Dunstan Browne stormed out of the council meeting claiming they were subjected to an ‘inquisition’. The use of torture, garrotting, and burning alive during the Inquisition hardly compares with email questions. Along with Councillor Daly the group have acquired the name ‘Gang of Four’ and vote as a block to promote land development. They controlled the selection of the consultant and terms of reference for the Housing Strategy Implementation Plan. Councillors Elsie McMurphy and Celia
Stock as well as Mayor Alice Finall have a duty to clarify the process and potential outcomes of adopting recommendation of this report especially in the absence of critique by the Gang. This dispute is not simply pro and con land development. North Saanich citizens need to know the impact of increased density on services (sewer, school, hospital etc.), traffic load and parking, to name a few issues. What we know for sure is this melodrama will cost tax-payers. First, the expenses for the council meeting which was abandoned and the replacement meetings necessary to complete the work. Second, the public acquisitions of incom-
petence directed at municipal staff are risk factors for staff loss, legal action and barrier to recruitment. Citizens need to be engaged in municipal politics to ensure they have appropriate information to provide input to community development which extends far beyond the single issue of subdivisions. The North Saanich municipal website provides meeting dates, agendas, minutes and video of council and committee of the whole meetings. Take note, informed citizens cannot be manipulated. Noreen Campbell North Saanich
Build sidewalks in
Brentwood first Before Central Saanich starts building a new town hall, Brentwood Bay is in need of sidewalk construction on some of the main walking routes. It’s that time of year when children are walking to and from school again and virtually none of the busy secondary roads have sidewalks. Brent Fyfe Brentwood Bay
Council should get on with business Regarding Councillor Conny McBride’s letter (PNR, Aug. 23), It is pure conjecture on Councillor McBride’s part to attribute certain motives to Councillor Elsie McMurphy and, there-
fore, unprovable. But Coun. McBride’s final sentence in her letter to the editor baffles me. How does she proposed that “council will get on with the meetings” however she rationalizes it? This kind of behaviour, having councillors walk out of meet-
ings, inevitably delays the District of North Saanich’s business to another day. Hold on, though. Isn’t that what Councillor McBride and her cohorts have been complaining about the whole time? J. Dorman North Saanich

A federal Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund grant of $177,000 will help Panorama Recreation Centre finish off planned improvements to its fire protection sprinkler system. Vancouver Island North MP John Duncan was in North Saanich Thurs., Aug. 29 to announce the money. In his short comments during a media event, Duncan said the grant will help ensure public safety, as well as provide jobs and growth. The grant is muchneeded, said Ron Rieberger, manager of facilities and operations at Panorama. The facility has been upgrading its sprinkler and fire protection system since first being required to do so in 2003 during

Main arena upgrades almost completed at Panorarama Panorama Recreation Centre is completing upgrades to its main ice rink his month. Manager of Facilities and Operations Ron Riegeber says a crew from Ramsey Machine Works has installed a new lean rail along the entire length of the upper viewing area of the rink. This will, he said, allow people to continue to stand and watch games from that vantage point. New seating is slated to be installed the week of Sept. 16. Riegerber said the older, wooden chairs are being replaced with plastic bucket seats, similar to those used in other arenas, such as the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. The new seats will be red, he added, noting that paired with the new white paint on the arena steel structure, it will give the rink a “Canadian” feel. Other upgrades to the ice rink include a better net around the ends of the ice surface. Riegerber said this was installed to better protect the corners of the arena from errant pucks.
change room renovations. The money, he continued, will be used to extend sprinkler infrastructure from other parts of Panorama to
the twin ice arenas and lobby space between them. In addition to helping ensure better fire protection and safety to the 500,000plus visitors to the facil-
ity each year, Riegerber added the upgrade will help Panorama when it comes time to expand the ice arena lobby area. “This grant covers half of the expected costs of the project,” Riegerber said, adding the work should be completed by March, 2014. Carl Jensen, chair of the Peninsula Recreation Commission, thanks the federal government for its support. “Without this grant, we wouldn’t have been able to complete this upgrade,” he said. “Every dollar helps us deliver better service and better programming every year.” Panorama senior manager Ian Hennigar credited Riegerber and Manager of Program Services Kerry Broome for their successful grant application.

C-Brats in Sidney this weekend The Copper Cowgirl poses with a fan during the final night of the Sidney Street Market on Aug. 29. The market ran each Thursday evening for 13 weeks this summer from May to August and brought thousands of visitors and residents alike to Beacon Avenue.
SIDNEY — The C-Brats boating group will be gathering in Sidney this weekend at Port Sidney Marina. The loosely organized but very active group is based around the website www.c-brats.com and ownership of one of the most successful small boats in North America built in the Pacific Northwest.
So far there are 22 boats scheduled to be arriving from around the region and all should be tied up at Port Sidney as of Saturday evening. From a Friday night dinner at Fish on Fifth, the group will be sampling the attractions and businesses of Sidney until Sunday afternoon. — News staff

Organizers peg market a success Mayor pleased with event’s popularity under new coordinator Devon MacKenzie News staff
After 13 weeks, the Sidney Street Market wrapped up last Thursday night and the town and organizers of the event are calling it a success. The market was run this year by Laurie McDermid who was appointed the new organizer of the market last fall after she was chosen through a request for proposals process. The Town of Sidney issued the RFP after they terminated their agreement with the Sidney Business Association in April of 2012.
Town of Sidney Mayor Larry Cross said in a statement that he feels the first year of the market under the new coordinator and format was an overwhelming success and that it has set a foundation for the long-term sustainability of the weekly event. “Laurie and her market team are to be commended for a job well done,” said the Mayor. The market, which ran for 13 weeks this year between May and August, is one of the largest in the province attracting an estimated 3,000 to 5,000 visitors each week. This year, just over 150 ven-
dors lined Beacon Avenue each Thursday offering art work, produce, music and entertainment. “This has been a great first year for us,” said McDermid. “I just can’t say enough about the team of block captains, volunteers and the Town of Sidney staff,” she added. “Everyone put their best foot forward to make this a fabulous market. We had a tremendous team effort from everyone to bring it all together each week.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Classic jazz with a twist comes to Vespers New season of Jazz Vespers begins this weekend NORTH SAANICH — Quintessential kicks off the new Jazz Vespers season at St. John’s United Church on Sunday, Sept. 8 at 7 p.m. The ensemble from Vancouver, featuring Doug Dunbar on guitars and saxophone, Gerry Teichrob on electric bass, Phyllis Heppner on Fender Rhodes keyboards and Kenton Wiens on drums, performs a wide range of the best-loved jazz standards. Their repertoire runs the spectrum from steamy ballads to bouncy bebop. Quintessential has played over 250 gigs but this will be their first appearance on Vancouver Island. The group’s latest CD, Out and About, follows
earlier releases, Quintessential Christmas and Quintessential Coffee. Doug Dunbar started out as a saxophonist, but, influenced by jazz greats like Joe Pass, Pat Metheny and Herb Ellis, he took up the guitar. Gerry Teichrob’s passion for walking bass lines led him to begin playing bass at age 15 and keyboardist Phyllis Heppner studied at the London College of Music and Media. Kenton Wiens graduated from Capilano University’s Jazz Studies program in 1995 and he has since played live and in the studio with a multitude of artists including Sheree Plett, Melissa Bandura and This Old Mountain.
Jazz Vespers continues next month on Oct. 7 with Brishen, featuring wunderkind Quinn Bachand on guitar and Richard Moody on violin. Jazz Vespers services begin at 7 p.m. at St. John’s United Church in North Saanich (10990 West Saanich Rd., across from Deep Cove School). There is no admission charge and an offering will be taken to cover the cost of the musicians and the Vespers program. For further information, please call Bernadette at 656-0875 or email bernadettegreene@shaw. ca to be included on an email list of upcoming concerts. — Submitted

Safety Recall Notice Syl Thompson in his Saanich studio. Thompson and his band have been getting ready to present a series of A Night of Bowie shows, starting on Fri., Sept. 13 at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre. Steven Heywood/News staff
Near-Bowie experience comes to Winspear Steven Heywood
Tahoe and more, giving people that near-Bowie experience. Thompson said there were very few other tribute bands out there at the time - unlike today where the practice is widespread, covering many musical genres. By 1985, other interests and pressures took the band members in different directions. Most, including Thompson, remained in the music business but it took 25 years before Thompson decided (after some prodding along the way) that he was ready to give the music and tribute to Bowie another try. A Night of Bowie reunites Thompson with his Major Tom bandmates, bassist Rob Begg and guitarist John Gilliat. They added saxophone player Graham Howell, brothers Marc and Rob Gawthrop on keyboards and synthesizer and Sean Lang on drums. For the last 10 months, the band has been in rehearsals in Vancouver and Thompson has been catching up with Bowie’s new material. “I needed something to be able to do at my age now,” he said. He watched a DVD of Bowie’s Reality and Heathen tours and thought about what kind of show he would be able to pull off, visually, based on how Bowie looks today. Thompson plans to not only include some of Bowie’s older favourites, but some of his modern hits - even songs from his album released just this year, shortly after the band began rehearsing. That,

Fans of David Bowie, hungry for a chance to hear his music live and to enjoy some of the experience of seeing him on stage, can salve their souls Sept. 13 at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre. Saanich’s Syl Thompson presents A Night of Bowie - a tribute to the man and his music. Thompson and his band - himself and six other musicians - are promising a “near-Bowie experience” with the visuals, vocals and performances people have come to expect from the British singer/songwriter. “I still think that there are a lot of Bowie fans out there,” said Thompson during an interview at his studio. Back in the 1980s, Thompson was part of Major Tom’s A Seriously Moonlight Tour - a tribute act that formed out of another band he was with in the Vancouver club scene. They had been performing when a club manager asked Thompson if he would include some David Bowie songs in their Top 40 sets - plus, said the manager, Thompson kind of looked and sounded like Bowie. “It went over quite well,” Thompson recalled, “and it picked up from there.” Basing their performances on Bowie’s early music and songs from the hit album Let’s Dance, the retooled tribute band traveled to Las Vegas, Reno, Lake

Thompson agrees, was great timing as fans are still holding out hope that Bowie himself will tour once again. “Everybody has their favourite (song) and you can’t please everyone in a 90-minute show. But it’s going to be fun. It’s going to be a ride.” The show will include “Ground Control” background visuals by Photon VJ of Victoria. Thompson said they will try for that perfect blend of art and music on stage. Thompson said he tailors his performance of Bowie’s music to those he can do a good job on, vocally. Some of his favourites include Life on Mars and Jean Genie. “As a vocalist, I have the ability to sing like him and I have a bit of the look. My goal is to create as Bowie-ish an experience as possible with some of my own personality thrown in.” It’s definitely a tribute show, he continued, not an attempt at an outright impersonation. Thompson said he hopes fans of David Bowie come to the show for that near-Bowie experience and enjoy the music and visuals of an artist with a vast repertoire that is always changing. A Night of Bowie, presented by Climbing Man Productions, is at the Mary Winspear Centre’s Chrlie White Theatre Friday, Sept. 13. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 7:30.

One could say Pen Track’s Les East, 74, was ‘hammered’ at the B.C. Seniors Games in Kamloops, but not in the way that might describe having had too much to drink. Instead, it reflected on the different results from his two hammer throw performances in the track and field competition at the games. In the open M70 event, his score sheet registered a zero, resulting from having his first three throws all wind up inside the throwing cage instead of making it out the front into the field where they could be measured. “That was a first for me,” he said. “But not the sort of one I was looking for. I’ve never had all no throws before.” However, in the throws pentathlon event, in which all five throwing implements are used, he nullified the dismal performance by registering a hammer personal best with a huge toss of 32.53 meters. More frustration would follow, though, as all three of his weight throw attempts landed outside
the marked sector, so they too could not be countered. That meant a big loss of points for East in that event. In spite of these woes, East did bring back two gold medals gained in the triple jump and high jump. He also took the silver in the long jump (missing out on that gold by an agonizing one centimetre) and two bronzes, one for the discus and the other for the open weight throw, in which he did manage to stay between the lines. Peggy Morfitt (W75) bagged three silver medals at the games, as she too scored a personal best in her hammer throw event. She also took second place in both the weight throw and the throws pentathlon and added bronze medals in both the discus and javelin competitions. Newcomer Peter Auvinen (M60), competing for the first time after a 41 year absence from the track and field scene, secured a bronze in triple jump. Over in Port Angeles, competing in the Olympic Peninsula Seniors Games, Jack Thornburgh (M70) won the 200m race, placed second in both the javelin and softball throw and took third in the high jump and long jump.

NORTH SAANICH — Ardmore Golf Course Men’s Club held their 54 hole Club Championship last week on Aug. 26, 28 and 30. Shane Holwell won the low gross Flight A event by one stroke over Jared Devries and Nick Walton. After 16 holes in the final round, Devries was leading by one stroke, but an errant tee shot into the water led to a dou-
ble bogey. Holwell took advantage with a par on 17 and both players made par on 18. Walton also made par on 17 and 18 to tie Devries for second place. The overall low net Champion’s Trophy (also known as the Archie McCulloch trophy) also went to Holwell, and the runner up was Walton. The Flight B low net winner of the Steward Cup was Josef
Lampa by only two strokes over Dave Gladders. The Flight C low net winner of the Beaton Trophy went to Lee York by nine strokes over Tom Acheson. In the super seniors competition (75 and over), Henry Teo defeated Ernie Lechner by two strokes. The course was in excellent condition despite rain in days prior to the event. — Submitted

NEWS REVIEW
CENTRAL SAANICH POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF • On Aug. 30, police received complaints from drivers on the Pat Bay Highway near Keating X Road of an erratic driver around 3:30 p.m. When police tracked the driver down at a nearby gas station, they noticed sings of intoxication. Two roadside sobriety tests were administered and the 40-year-old Central Saanich woman failed both. Her car was impounded for 30 days and she was issued a 90-day driving suspension.
Steven Heywood/News staff
A chicken stands guard in her cage in the poultry barn during the Saanich Fair this past weekend.
• On Aug. 21 just after midnight, a police officer observed a car make a slow and unsteady right turn from Wallace Drive onto Stelly’s X Road. When the car almost hit the ditch during the turn, the officer stopped the vehicle and spoke with the driver. The 52-year-old Central Saanich man failed two roadside sobriety tests and given a 90-day suspension and a 30-day impound as well as being arrested for public intoxication. He was held in cells over-
night and released the next day. • A trifecta of accidents within minutes of each other kept officers busy on Sept. 3. Just before 6:30 a.m. a tractor trailer lost control in the slippery conditions on the Pat Bay Highway near Island View Road and jacknifed. The driver was able to get the semi under control and no damage was done. When he pulled over to side of the highway to report the incident in case any concerned citizens saw it, another driver coming up to the intersection was distracted by the trailer and the police car on the side of the road and ran the red light, t-boning a vehicle. Minutes later, another car rear ended a pickup truck at the same intersection. All drivers were cautioned on driving in wet conditions and paying attention to their surroundings and one driver was charged with driving without due care. — Devon MacKenzie/News staff
