Closure blamed on Sidney Sidney Business Association closes; citing lack of money and lack of municipal support Steven Heywood News staff
Members of the Sidney Business Association (SBA) are walking away from an organization that’s now in debt after 13 years of trying to promote business in the community. On Sept. 4, the SBA issued a five-page letter, outlining their decision to shutter the organization — laying off their manager in the process — and slamming the Town of Sidney for essentially running them out of business. A further parting shot was levelled at the Town from SBA president Bill Buckley, who told the News Review on Monday that the municipality put too many hurdles in front of an organization whose goal was to promote the business community and, therefore, Sidney itself. “They didn’t support us,” Buckley said, adding it appeared to him that since 2009 the Town had been actively trying to get rid of the SBA — steadily increasing its fee to run the annual street market, removing the SBA from their location at the Old Customs House and eating into their profits. The SBA lost the summer market — it’s largest money-maker — this year. Buckley told the News Review for a Sept. 4 story on an outstanding debt left over from the 2012 market that their memberships were solid, while programs such as a newsletter and downtown street banners kept revenue coming in. The SBA board’s decision to close indicates that those efforts were not enough to continue in the face of growing debt.

Howard Norquay is pushing to have the Royal Canadian Air Force building at the airport saved from demolition.
Command building faces demolition Losing building means losing more than just bricks and mortar, says vet Tim Collins Contributor
In 1940, the Royal Canadian Air Force Station Patricia Bay Administration Building was the primary administration, training and operational site for the Canadian contribution to the Second World War. It was home to the famous ‘Bulldog Squadron’ and was visited by the Duke of Kent, who praised the work being done there. the effort of a group of concerned 7:53 But PM ifPage 1
citizens is unsuccessful, that bit of history will soon face the wrecker’s ball. That’s because, with the construction of the new, $104 million 443 Squadron helicopter hanger and administrative centre at the Victoria Airport, the old building will become surplus to the Department of National Defense and will revert back to the Airport Authority. “It is our intention to demolish the building at that time,” said Geoff Dickson, president and CEO of the Airport Author-
ity. “The building failed to gain heritage status in 2010 and, as such, we have to look at repurposing the site to allow for future development at the airport.” That position rankles those individuals who feel that the building is part of Victoria’s history and deserves to be saved. “Losing the building is more than just losing bricks and mortar,” said Howard Norquay.

New fall fair coming to Sidney on Sept. 21 St. Paul’s Fall Fair replaces former church boot sale Steven Heywood News staff
A new fall fair is taking shape this month and it’s going to be held at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney. Replacing the church’s former boot sale, their first fall fair event will bring out some of the best goods and treats St. Paul’s parishioners and their friends and family have to offer. Organizer Judy Bicknell says church members have been busy putting together what she hopes will be the first of many fairs to come. Between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, there will be produce fresh off of local farms, baking, home made jam and preserves, household treasures and white elephant goods (saleable goods that people just don’t want anymore). In addition, there will be face painting and games for the children and the church volunteers will be serving lunch — chilli or soup with fresh buns as well as home made pie, ice cream, coffee and tea. Tim Hortons has also promised to bring doughnuts. Tables will be set up in the church the day of the fair, Bicknell explained, adding there will be racks of clothing in a boutiquelike setting. “There will be a little bit of everything,” she said. Bicknell joined her friend Jean Reimer at her farm in North Saanich recently, helping make jam for the fair. Church volunteer Bill German also joined the party, as did Ed

Moving the building costly Continued from page 1
Norquay is one of the leaders of the push to save the old building and a 21-year veteran of the Canadian Air Force. He points to the large insignia of 443 Squadron mounted above the front façade of the building. That insignia has the motto “Our Sting is Death” emblazoned at the base of the ornate crest. “A lot of the men who went through here never came back,” he said. “If we lose the building my fear is that we’ll lose the memory of what those men did.” It’s a position that is supported by Elizabeth May, Member of Parliament for Saanich and the Gulf Islands. “I have been advocating with the Ministers of Environment and Heritage to save this building,” she said. “There were some mistakes made when the original heritage assessment was made. They missed it by eight points. We’re working to rectify that situation.” May feels it’s important to honour the thousands of men and women whose efforts contributed to allied victory in the Pacific theater of the Second World War. “It’s too easy to simply move on and to forget,” said May. “Those brave individuals deserve better and we need to find a way of honouring their contribution.” According to Dickson, there are very few options available to the Airport Authority. “We’ve looked at moving the structure, but the cost (over $2 million) is prohibitive,” said Dixon. “I understand that this

The new Department of National Defense helicopter hangar under construction at the Victoria Airport. Once it’s complete, a Second World War-era building is slated to be demolished. is an emotional issue, particularly for our veterans, and I don’t blame them for feeling the way that they do, but we have no use for the building and we do have a responsibility to do what’s best for the airport and the community.” Tom White, another advocate for saving the building, didn’t serve in the Air Force and has no direct connection with the building, but to him, cost shouldn’t be the issue. “You don’t have to be a veteran to understand that the people who served here have a right to be remembered,” he said. “I listen to the stories of some of those vets and think, ‘all of this could be forgotten’. We can’t let that happen.” If the change in heritage status is not successful, and the building can’t be saved, Norquay has another suggestion.

“Save and move the façade to the B.C. Aviation Museum,” suggested Norquay. “You could even make a walkway there with bricks salvaged from the building. It’s not my first choice but it would be better than just knocking it down and forgetting it.” That option has not been submitted to the Museum at this time. For now, the efforts to save the building continue and Norquay is hopeful that he and others in the group will be successful. “I’m not going to give up,” he said with a laugh. “They’re trying to put me down, but I’ve got a while in me yet.” Elizabeth May said that she’d be interested in hearing from anyone who is interested in this issue.

very impetus for undertaking a request for proposals for the street market.” The mayor added the fact that SBA board members were putting up their own money for the last month shows the operation is “not financially sustainable.” Richard Talbot, a former board member of the SBA and chair of its audit committee in 2012, said the SBA was in financial difficulty a long time ago. Operating expenses (salaries, rent) were taking their toll and Talbot said members were leaving for one reason or another. He added he agrees with Buckley that the Town’s fees for running the market were very high. Faced with this uncertainty, Talbot said the Town wanted the SBA to partner with another merchants group and the municipality itself when it came to running the summer market and promoting local business. “The Town was clear,” Talbot said. “The

market was successful and they were successful in getting a lot of volunteers, but there had been some complaints from merchants.” Talbot said the Town had doubts about the future of the SBA and wanted partnerships to help the long-term stability of the market. When his own resolution to do just that was rejected by the SBA board, Talbot said he and other board members resigned. “That was the vote,” he explained. “I felt that if the SBA didn’t cooperate with the merchants group and the
Town, the SBA would be toast. “The SBA did a good job and had a lot of volunteers, but the writing was on the wall.” Buckley said he’s not sure what will happen with the SBA’s outstanding debt now that the board has walked away. He said the landlord would probably get what’s left in the SBA’s bank account. Humble said with the SBA closed, collecting the $19,000 owed the Town “would be a challenge.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

“We promoted Sidney,” Buckley said. “We did a good job and yet, there was a lack of support for the SBA.” The SBA, Buckley admitted, does have a lot of debt, but did not reveal just how much. Apart from the $19,000 owing to the Town for the 2012 market, Buckley said they owe money to a lawyer hired to get the market back last year after the Town wrongly cancelled their contract. As well,he said the SBA owes money to a number of creditors, including their landlord. In the past 30 days, Buckley said SBA board members put up $10,000 of their own money to keep the SBA afloat. He added that from his perspective, a recent meeting with Town chief administrative officer Randy Humble suggested there wasn’t room in Sidney for three business organizations — the SBA, Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce and the new Sidney
Business Improvement Association. Humble, in turn said from his perspective the future of the SBA was in their own hands. “At the end of the day, the SBA needs to determine what place it has in the business community and what they can offer outside of what the BIA and chamber can offer,” Humble said Monday. Humble said in no way did he tell Buckley there was no room for the SBA in Sidney, but admitted the meeting (held Aug. 22) was heated. Responding to the SBA in a letter to the News Review, Mayor Larry Cross stated laying blame on the Town “is an unfortunate abdication of responsibility.” “For many years, it has been readily apparent to (town council) that the finances of the SBA were in disarray and that there was serious operation dysfunction within the organization,” Cross said. “This, in fact, was the

The group also mentors Museum new farmers through an apprenticeship program. “We are deeply committed to growing sustainable agriculture in our region,” explained one of the group’s members, Rachel Fisher, adding that the organization recently installed a new walk-in cooler and packing area at their Mt. Newton farm and are hoping to recoup some of their costs. “Our whole marketing system and our new walk-in cooler and packing area benefit our whole community of organic SAANICH HISTORICAL ARTIFACT SOCIETY 250-652-5522 farms, not just ourselves,” Fisher said.

OUR VIEW
A question of priorities The closure of the Sidney Business Association effectively ends a hostile relationship between the organization and the Town of Sidney and opens the door to promotion of local business by none other than the businesses themselves. Last week, the SBA announced it was shutting down after 13 years of working to promote local business, after its debt load became unmanageable and following the loss of the summer street market — it’s major source of income. A poor relationship grew between the municipality and the SBA as fees the municipality charged for service at the markets grew each year. Yet, the SBA continued to rely upon the market for most of its annual operating budget This year, Sidney awarded the operation of the market to another group, ending the SBA’s tenure and cutting off a portion of its cash flow. In the end, SBA board members were using their own money to keep the doors open. As the relationship deteriorated, factions within the business community kept stirring the pot — new organizations grew, proposals came and went and now there’s a new Business improvement Association (BIA) acting for Sidney business only — maintaining an arm’s length from the Town itself. What local businesses need to be able to do to pursue their own goals is ensure they aren’t beholden to any single thing. A supportive municipality creates an environment, through policy, where a business or promotional organization can succeed and help create a vibrant community. It’s then up to a group like the BIA or chamber of commerce — or even the SBA — to stand on their own and make a case not only for their existence, but for the betterment of the community. The break between the Town and the SBA may have been a bitter one, yet there’s a chance now to invest in a new path — as long as people in both camps agree that their collective interests outweigh individual priorities.

Leonard points to another arbitrary system, provincial facilities that pay grants in lieu of property taxes. Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want B.C. Hydro to pay something for power lines, as is now being done with some aboriginal territories. Local politicians will be expecting a sympathetic ear from the new version of the B.C. Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com
‘One problem for local governments is that they depend on property tax.’

LETTERS Council responsible for the drama
T
hank you to the News Review’s reported coverage on North Saanich housing development. As a resident of North Saanich for the past 28 years I have several concerns regarding development of this magnitude and whether this is the beginning of a slippery slope. Why did the council as a whole approve hiring a consultant from Kelowna for a housing strategy if they couldn’t ask some hard questions? This appears to be a move to revise the Official Community Plan. Over 1,200 residents of North Saanich were opposed to development introduced in the OCP when Councilman Daly was the mayor. I recall council had to reschedule a meeting at Mary Winspear to hold the number of North Saanich residents who showed up to get questions answered. As far as the division at council, this has always existed — at least for the past 28 years. What is new is council members
walking out when they don’t agree with the line of questioning to address business in front of the Council as whole. Elected officials should not have the luxury of this behaviour, nor do the consultants hired to present a report to council. People are elected to represent all residents of North Saanich and many of the questions being raised by council would be raised by the public. Council is responsible for creating this drama and those who walked out should face a fine for not doing their job and disrupting business in front of council. On the Sept. 9 meeting I’m sure there will be a large showing of residents who are on both sides of the fence of the housing strategy. I’m sure this coverage will draw out people who were not aware of this going on over the summer holidays. Has North Saanich invited council representatives from Sidney and Central Saanich? Have they provided them with a copy
Readers respond:
of the housing strategy for their input? How will the population growth impact our local hospital, volunteer fire department, schools, recreation centre and traffic problems in Sidney. Developer fees will pay for sewer, curb and gutter, road and road access for their development. Will developers now be required to pay for schools, hospitals and fire halls to serve the density growth, especially multi-family complexes to accommodate affordable housing for families? Once this development begins, residents will see their taxes go up to accommodate the need for added services. How will a changing “elected” council and Administration deal with this in the coming years if this housing strategy is adopted and building and development permits are being issued for multiple sites?

Read the scooter regulation I, for one, am heavily in favour of scooter regulations (i.e., licence plates for identification, and onehour seminars on how to navigate in a small business with a scooter). But Jane Dyson claims that such regulation would “impede their independence” is the most ignorant thing one could possibly hear during this debate. The town wants to address safety and liability concerns. We’re not discussing placing the elderly in Communist Work Camps. We’re proposing tiny licence plates, so if they try a hit and run (a common incident in Sidney) with their scooter, we can just get the plate number. I encourage Ms. Dyson to read, actually read, the proposal and attend the meetings. If, afterwards, she feels we’re basically stripping their dignity and rights, she can say whatever she wants.

Wednesday, Septemebr 11, 2013 - PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW
LETTERS Councillors had questions The CTQ housing report will cost North Saanich taxpayers almost $40,000. Wouldn’t you think councillors ought to have a few questions? Councillor McMurphy not only had the right to query Mr. Grifone, she had a duty to the taxpayers to do so. As
keepers of the public purse, councillors would be failing in their fiduciary responsibility to the community they were elected to serve if they did not verify the validity of the Housing Strategy Report. It is, and was, an abuse of power to prevent further questions from being asked. Council must ensure that the consultant
returns to a future meeting to explain and justify the evidence supporting his recommendations, which, if adopted, will have a significant impact on all residents of North Saanich. To do any less would be a dereliction of duty. It is often said that where there is smoke, there is fire and there was plenty of smoke in the council chambers
on Aug. 19. If the admitted contact with the consultant by councillors Browne, McBride and Mearns was of no consequence, why did they get up and walk out? Not only did those councillors cast doubt on themselves and, by extension, Councillor Daly, they also undermined the consultant’s credibility. As a result, Mr. Grifone was given no
opportunity to attempt to clear himself of any perception of being inappropriately influenced. Most importantly, if the questions surrounding the report are not addressed to everyone’s satisfaction, we are left with a document that future councils could be justified in dismissing. For $40,000, residents are entitled to a report that can withstand scrutiny and challenge, and will stand the test of time. Significant work is still required before that point is reached.

ing is a big waste of time and money! Fea also suggests the development in North Saanich only involves a couple of lots, while in actual fact the proposed development at 9395 East Saanich Road is for 40 homes and that is only one of several other developments under discussion. Edith Brown North Saanich
Yes to more sidewalks I couldn’t agree more with Mr. Fyfe (PNR letters, Sept. 6) wanting more sidewalks in Brentwood Bay. The main drag is well maintained and appealing but the side routes lack attention. I would like to see some speed humps on Verdier, a busy avenue with many small children, dog walkers and seniors who unfortunately have to share the road with cyclists and frequent speeding cars and trucks heading for and coming off the ferry to Mill Bay. There are speed humps on a quiet street a couple of blocks to the south of Verdier and I’m sure it makes it safer for every one. C. Scott Stofer Brentwood Bay
Little to gain I would like to see Beacon Avenue remain as a one-way street or even as a pedestrian only street. The part of Beacon that is one-way has wider sidewalks with bump-outs. Local restaurants and coffee shops have made good use of these by setting up tables and chairs; this helps create a vibrant street scene and draws people to Beacon Avenue. I have heard the argument that two-way traffic will increase customer business. I have to say that I don’t buy that. If I am going to go for a browse, I am not in my car. Sidney has been talking about signage for some time and there is a lot that could be improved to clarify the one way system. We need to look at the whole picture of what this change could do to Sidney. Yes, businesses might gain a few more customers but then again those of us who live here 12 months a year do so for a reason — and the relaxed nature of Beacon Avenue is a large part of it. We would lose too much for little gain. Lesley Nicholls Sidney

Waterfront work halted after midden discovery
Reverie band members Holly Hurwood, Stephanie Benbow and Nicola Hestnes perform at the Swap ‘Til You Drop gala on Sept. 16.
Steven Heywood News staff
Work on a boat ramp near the Sidney North Saanich Yacht Club has been stopped as the B.C. Archeology Branch looks into the presence of a First Nations midden at the site. Elected Chief Vern Jacks of the Tseycum First Nation says there is a midden there, uncovered by the work, and that could mean the project will not proceed. “The archaeology branch (of the B.C. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources) is involved now,” Jacks said. “They will have to hire a consultant and work with us to go through (the midden) and determine what’s there.” Middens, Jacks said, are common throughout the area. They are, in general, deposits of shells and other artifacts indicating past human occupation of an area. Jacks added they can sometimes indicate a nearby grave site. An investigation of this area will now have to be done, he said. The District of North Saanich was informed of the work and after visiting the site discovered the work was being done without a development permit and that some shells had been uncovered. Chief Administrative Officer Rob Buchan says the District issued

The company will also have to obtain the proper work permits from the municipality, should the project proceed. Calls to the Oak Bay Marine Group for comment were not returned. “The entire foreshore is a higher probability area for these sorts of things,” Buchan said. Jacks is concerned the work was done without any consultation with the local First Nation. He said it seems that sort of thing is on the rise and has asked for a meeting with the minister or the Archaeology Branch. “It’s starting again,” Jacks said. “No one is consulting with local
First Nations.” He added if developers were doing that, they would have better local information before they start digging. While not a written policy, Buchan said it’s standard practice for the District of North
Saanich to ask developers who are planning work in the foreshore areas to consult with the province. The District, Buchan continued, has a GIS map showing high-resource probability areas that workers need to know about.

Flavour Trail to grow next year Organizers hope to repeat success of North Saanich event Steven Heywood News staff
“There was a minimum of 1,500 people on the Flavour Trail — maximum, who knows?” An upbeat Linda Geggie was reporting on the success of this year’s North Saanich Flavour Trail, held over the Aug. 24 and 25 weekend. Geggie, who ran the event under the auspices of the Capital Region Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR), said counting the people who attended the event is not easy, considering it’s an open event at various points in the community. However, there were some very strong indicators of success during this, the first time the event has been run by a group other than the District of North Saanich in the last seven years. “The North Saanich Summer Market reported they had 786 people — that’s a record,” Geggie said. “The Roost said they also had record sales on the Saturday. That’s fantastic.” She added Muse Winery and

“We will be looking to bring additional Peninsula municipalities and other supporters on board to make up for what the District of North Saanich put forward this year.” – Linda Geggie Bistro was at capacity during its Friday night Flavour Trail kickoff event — 120 people. Geggie said they had to turn away at least 50 people, yet by the next day, reported having some 500 people through their doors. “It went really great. The weather held and there were lots of people.” CRFAIR took over the event from the District of North Saanich this year. With the one-time seed money used up, Geggie said the steering committee will meet later this month to plan for the next Flavour Trail. “We will be looking to bring additional Peninsula municipali-
ties and other supporters on board to make up for what the District of North Saanich put forward this year,” she explained. “We will have some time to plan for next year.” Expanding the Flavour Trail concept is the next step, she continued, following up on the idea of adding more events and locations from across the Peninsula. Agricultural events do not end, however, with the fifth annual Saanich Peninsula Harvest Feast set for Sept. 21 in the main hall of the Saanich Fairgrounds. Sponsored by the North and South Saanich Agricultural Society and the Southern Vancouver Island Direct Farm Marking Association, the Harvest Feast brings local food and drink together for a community event that will help support local 4-H activities. Geggie said the Feast is part of an overall Saanich Peninsula Harvest Days umbrella — which includes a variety of other food and agricultural events and markets.

Yoga under the Salish Sea SIDNEY — As summer begins to wind down, the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC) is kicking off its fall programming, including their popular class, Yoga Under the Salish Sea. Yoga was introduced at the not-for-profit aquarium last year to branch out beyond business as usual. “We wanted to create more opportunities for the community to enjoy the building,” said Marketing Manager Christina Smethurst. “It’s a great space for any number of things.” Some of the after-hours offerings at the aquarium include a bi-monthly movie night, annual events like Camosun’s ‘Seafood, Drink Beer’ bash and variations
on existing programming like a spin on their monthly lecture series that includes a dinner at Haros restaurant. Out of all of the aquarium’s after-hours programs and events, though, it has been yoga that has received the most attention. “The aquarium backdrop for a yoga class is one-of-a-kind on the Island,” said Smethurst. “[It] draws a lot of interest and people really seem to love it.” They’ve had such great feedback, in fact, that a new yoga class geared toward seniors has been added on Tuesday mornings. Both classes are taught by yoga instructor and long-time Sidney resident, Scharie Wonnenberg.
“Sidney has so many residents in their 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond who are looking for ways to stay fit, and yoga is perfect for that,” said Wonnenberg. “The [senior’s] class will focus on building strength and flexibility at a pace that’s comfortable.” Regular yoga classes at the SODC will take place every Wednesday evening from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. starting Sept. 11 until Nov. 27. The senior’s yoga class will run Tuesday mornings from 7 to 8 a.m. starting Sept. 10 until Dec. 3.

Panthers open season with win Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Peninsula Panthers won their first regular season game this past weekend, despite not playing their veterans in the warm-up exhibition games. “The rust was evident in the early part of the game against the Kerry Park Islanders,” said hockey operations manager, Pete Zubersky, adding players seemed to find their legs midway through the first period in Friday night’s game. Panthers’ goalie Stephen Heslop made save after save in the first period to keep the score close between the two teams.

never looked back. Cole Glover tallied on a power play effort at 7:29 of the second period however Matt Grant replied for the Islanders four minutes later to slice the lead to one. Panther Zack Smith then surprised Islanders’ goalie Jackson Jane when he
whipped a snapshot through his legs. The final period was all Panthers as they received more goals from Glover, rookie Tate Coughlin and Jackson Skerratt. The hosts outshot the visitors 45-33. Coughlin, Logan and Heslop were named as the three stars. “We could not make a pass early,” said Zubersky. “But as the game went on I thought we started to click. It will take us five or six games to really start clicking but we have a pretty solid squad this time around with a lot of depth at all positions. The kids are going to have to battle to stay in the lineup, there is no doubt about that.” The Panthers recently sent Thomas Strocel to the Westshore Wolves for future considerations. The Wolves will visit the Panthers this Friday evening at Panorama at 7:30 p.m.

Marine trail a real workout for hikers Steven Heywood News staff
There are two ways to enjoy Vancouver Island’s rugged coast — take your time and take in the spectacular views along the way, or put one foot in front of the other and use a multi-day hike as a great workout. I took the latter route during a three-day trip on the Juan De Fuca Marine Trail from Port Renfrew to the China Beach Provincial Park. It’s a 46-kilometer route (sometimes called the light version of the West Coast Trail) that’s open year-round for hiking, day trips and camping in the wild. My goal was to complete the hike in three days at most, trying to balance good, physical exertion with taking in the beauty of the coast. There were plenty of other people along the trail — some out to do it faster than me and others ready to use up a few more days to take the route at a more leisurely pace. The trail
