Sandown developer to go to the public Demolition, reclamation not expected to start before December Steven Heywood News staff

Demolition of the buildings and reclamation of the land at the former Sandown Race Track in North Saanich isn’t going to start until the developer meets with the community. North Saanich council ratified its approval of a plan to redevelop the 39-hectare site at its Oct. 7 regular meeting. The Randall family, who owns the property, and development company Omicron will retain 4.85 hectares for commercial growth and will gift the remaining 33.6 hectares to the municipality. They had to win approvals from the Capital Regional District and the Agricultural Land Commission prior to moving ahead with the district. The deal is almost identical to one the council turned down in 2012— the main sticking point being the cost to the municipality to clean up the land for agricultural use. This latest agreement has the owners and developers paying the whole shot — an estimated $700,000 to $750,000 — to tear down the grandstand and outbuildings and remediate the soil. Peter Laughlin of Omicron says they are now in the position to work on a phased-in development agreement with North Saanich. “That will commit us to doing the (remediation) work,” he explained, “and work with the municipality on the disposition of the agricultural land.” PleaSe See: Shopping mall or office space, page 4

Preschool helps keep shores clean Devon MacKenzie News staff

Children from Sidney Preschool are doing their part to keep Sidney shores clean. Beginning last month, children, teachers and parents from the preschool started a monthly beach clean-up. Their first beach was Robert’s Bay and then plan to hit a different shore in Sidney each month. “I walk my dog on beaches in Sidney all the time and I was noticing how much gar-

bage was around,” explained Early Childhood Educator Scharie Greenwood. “At the end of the school year last year we talked about organizing a monthly beach clean up in order to teach the children about keeping beaches clean from an early age.” The first clean up in Robert’s bay yielded lots of waste, including cans, inflatable air mattresses, plastic containers and paper. The school is pairing up with the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC) to use the garbage they collect in a new exhibit

and to teach the children about keeping beaches clean. “It will basically show all the types of garbage found on our beaches and how they can affect the ecosystem. We’re hoping it will be a really great way to get people to be stewards of the environment,” said Tina Kelly, the visitor experience director with SODC. At the end of October, the children will travel to the beach along Lochside Drive (near Tulista Park) to clean those shores. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Peninsula News in brief Sidney strategy

SIDNEY — The Town of Sidney enters its strategic planning phase this month, with a variety of topics on the agenda. Mayor Larry Cross said he’s meeting with Town staff this week to set out the plan. Initial meetings, he said, will be held among staff and council, with more public airing of local issues and projects afterwards. Cross added the question of traffic direction on Beacon Avenue should also make its way onto the agenda.

Mixed reaction to Beacon traffic Jury is out but there’s strong support for making traffic on Beacon Avenue run two ways Tim Collins Contributor

The jury may still be out but based on the reaction at an Oct. 8 information session at the Mary Winspear Centre, there is strong support for the concept of changing Beacon Avenue in Sidney back to a two way street. The session was hosted by Steve Duck of TIDESgroup and the Sidney Tourism Improvement Group (STIG). That’s a group of businessmen who have launched a campaign to do away with what they call a counterintuitive and confusing traffic system through downtown Sidney. About 50 residents, many of them business owners, attended. It was an effort on the organization’s part to allay some of the fears sprung from what Duck says is misinformation regarding his group’s proposal. “We have people who have heard that going back to a two way would mean that everything would go back to the way it once was; that the wider sidewalks would disappear and the sidewalk seating areas would be gone. That just isn’t the case.” While none of the individuals interviewed were openly opposed to STIG’s Two Way All the Way campaign, not everyone was willing to throw their support behind the concept; at least not yet. Cliff McNeil-Smith, owner of Tanner’s Books and member of both the Sidney Business Improvement Area and the Community Development Commission said while he is open to the concept, more formal public consultation is required. “Council commissioned a traffic report from Urban Systems (a Victoria consulting firm) and I voted in favor of public consultation based on some of the things in that report, including this issue. We need to allow for that input before I’m going to say whether this is a good idea.” A small group of people, apparently representing the town’s administration, stood impassively at the sidelines, where they declined either comments or photos. “I’m just here to gather information and impressions,” said one gentleman as he jotted notes on the proceedings. Some of the attendees, however, were anything but reserved in their comments. John Treleaven, Sidney resident and member of the Chamber of Commerce, was effusive in his support for the campaign. “We put a big ‘Do Not Enter’ sign in front of a bunch of stores. Then we

“I’d like to see public consultation on the issue; I voted for that. But I’m not willing to take a position on this one way or the other yet.” - Cliff McNeil-Smith

then turn left again … By then you’ve lost them.” Despite the predominant support displayed by the residents and business owners who attended the session, Duck said he fears that town hall remains unimpressed. “They think that because we only had 50 people show up, it isn’t an issue with a lot of support. What they miss is that those people represented most of the business on Beacon. They should be paying attention.” Sidney Mayor Larry Cross said he was unable to attend the meeting but the issue will be part of the Town’s

strategic planning sessions this month. He would not comment on the possible steps the Town might take to explore the traffic debate. The group intends to collect names on a petition supporting their Two Way All the Way campaign and present it to both the Community Development Commission and town council before Sidney hosts its Oct. 24 strategic planning session. The group hopes that planning session will incorporate the two-way concept within the town plan at that time. “It’s time to get this done,” said Duck. — with a file from Steven Heywood

Shopping mall or office space being considered Continued from page 1

Actual work at the site will probably not begin, he said, until after a planned public hearing in December. Prior to that, however, Omicron plans on meeting with community groups and holding public meetings to get community input. Laughlin said they have already set up meetings this month and next with the North Saanich

Palm Court

Residents Association and the Friends of Sandown Park. “We will be meeting with them over the next four weeks,” he said, adding there will be up to two more before the December public hearing on the zoning change for the property. That zoning change, he continued, will also set in place the form and character of the commercial compo-

nent of the development. Laughlin said between now and then, Omicron will create up to three options for the site and narrow them down after getting public input. A big question on everyone’s mind will be just what is planned for the new commercial land bordering the existing industrial park. Laughlin said he has no answer to that right away, but did say they

The former horse racing track in North Saanich will eventually be reclaimed and split into agricultural and commercial land. took ideas out to test markets earlier this year. In February, Laughlin told the News Review Omicron took a commercial concept to Vancouver and Toronto conventions of the International Council of Shopping Centres. A listing for the property through Cushman & Wakefield Ltd. at the time showed plans for a strip mall. That listing also mentioned the possibility of residential use of the property but all parties to the land deal say residential is off the table. Addressing letters sent to the municipality — all of which decried the idea of residential at Sandown — Councilor Ted Daly made it

clear the district isn’t considering that. “We need to respond to such letters that, one, there’s no net loss of agricultural land; two, there’s no housing (planned for the site), and; three, Sandown land (that the municipality will receive) has been reserved for agricultural use.” The district is working on which parcel of land they are going to be swapping with the ALC in exchange for rezoning the 4.85 hectares for commercial development. Laughlin said in addition to a shopping area concept, they are also considering office space. “We know the Victoria Airport Authority

has significant development plans of their own and we would consider something that’s complimentary to that.” Long-term plans outlined by the airport authority show potential development sites at the corner of Beacon Avenue and the Pat Bay Highway, as well as a technology park along Willingdon Road. Laughlin said he’s hoping to be able to address concerns people might have at the public meetings, which he also thinks will help them create a good plan. “We expect to deliver a project — in my own backyard as well because I live in North Saanich — that we can be proud of.”

Speed limits under review District of Central Saanich - Mon., Oct. 7, 2013 • A review of speed limits in the core area of Brentwood Bay by the Central Saanich Police Service was received by council during their meeting. The review included four proposed options for consideration of speed limits in Brentwood Bay. The report showed that police favoured the third option, which would be to change all core roads in Brentwood Bay to 40 kilometers per hour — form what is currently a range of 30 to 50 — including residential side roads. The report stated the change would reduce driver confusion on standard speed while promoting speed consistency in the area. • Council passed a motion to start a program to promote pollination by Mason bees. The project is at no cost to the district and will see the district allow volunteers to place bee boxes in strategic areas in the municipality. The project is anticipated to start at Newman Farm this fall. • Central Saanich district council received a report from staff on air sampling done at the Foundation Organics facility. The report indicated that concentrations of dangerous particular matter in the air are unlikely to be found in the air in the areas of Tanner Ridge and Martindale Valley, though the report did indicate further sampling may be warranted. — Devon MacKenzie/News staff

CRD rejects composter’s appeal Appeal by Foundation Organics is turned down and the business ordered by the CRD to remove compost Devon MacKenzie News staff

An appeal made by Foundation Organics after the Capital Regional District suspended their licence in September was turned down last week. On Friday, Oct. 11 the CRD released a review of the appeal that stated that the company is in non-compliance with the CRD’s bylaws regarding compositing facility regulations and added some interesting facts found in the review process. The CRD found that between Jan. 2 and Aug. 16 of this year, scale data from Foundation Organics showed that the company received 4,474 tonnes of food waste, exceeding the licensed annual maximum by 10

per cent. The report also stated that the facility generated 1,412 complaints regarding odour between April and mid-September which an expert, Dr. Hubert Timenga (Ph.D., P.Ag.) said “likely indicates that the composting facility received and processed volumes beyond its operating capacity.” The review also stated that the facility was in contravention of several points of their approved operating plan. Those include the fact that rows of compost were not being covered by a mixture of compost material and wood chips to keep odour down, the moisture content of the compost product was too high, creating anerobicity in the compost piles (also contributing

to odour) and that the exhaust system in the building did not conform to specifications. The CRD has now fully suspended Foundation Organics’ license and has directed the facility to remove all compost within the compost building and direct the material to an alternate composting facility or to the landfill for disposal by no later than Oct. 25. The CRD’s suspension could be lifted if Foundation Organics submits an approved and amended recycler license application that includes a plan that addresses the processing capacity and operational and odour management plans. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Wilson said that there was a need for a new park plan as the existing park management plan was adopted as a bylaw in 1989 and there have been substantial changes in both the size and usage patterns of the park since that time. But the process has been more complex than the CRD had imagined. “We started a new planning process in January of 2011 and thought it would take us six months,” Wilson said. “A lot of complex issues emerged and the process is only now coming to an end.” The plan that is being proposed by the CRD is not an end point that some area residents find acceptable. “The whole plan is nothing but bloody smoke and mirrors,” said Jason Austin, a member of the newlyformed Friends of Island View Park and an outspoken advocate for what his group feels are essential values at the park. “Their plan (the Draft Interim Park Management Plan) currently being proposed is intentionally poorly worded to obscure the intent. You can read it over and over and have no idea of what they’re on about,” said Austin. Austin maintained that in order to understand the underlying agenda of the plan, one has to do a lot of research. He said there are references within the plan which take on new meanings when considered in conjunction with the original 1989 bylaw and a 2010 report to the CRD entitled the Cordova Shore Conservation Strategy. That strategy report called for, amongst other things: the removal of dikes; the abandonment of drainage ditches; and the cessation of mosquito abatement programs. Wilson maintains that there are no plans to do any of these things and that the proposed plan includes language to safeguard these items. Again, the Friends of Island View Beach disagree. “There are far too many qualifiers within the report that will allow them to do what-

CRD Senior Park Planner Lynn Wilson says there have been a lot of complex issues raised over the last six months.

“The whole plan is nothing but bloody smoke and mirrors.” – Jason Austin, Friends of Island View Park

Tim Collins/Contributor

The CRD’s new management plan for Island View Park is coming under fire. ever they bloody well want in the future,” said Austin. He pointed to part of the proposed plan that calls for the CRD to conduct “a comprehensive assessment of the mosquito control program in the context of wetland conservation and the effects of larvicide on the wetland’s food web.” He cross-references that with another part of the plan that reads the CRD “may periodically review the interim park management plan to determine if any significant new information exists that would require a change to the policy direction or actions contained in the interim plan.” “You put that together with their Cor-

dova Shore document that called for an end to larvaciding and what do you think is going to happen?” said Austin. It’s a view shared by Vern Michell of Michell Farms, another member of the Friends of Island View Beach. “They didn’t follow their own bylaw to keep the ditches clear until we went after them on this and then, in 2011, they finally cleared the ditches. “They don’t want to keep them clear. They want the land to go to a wetland,” said Michell. “That happens and I lose 20 acres of farmland.” Wilson, however, maintained while the CRD plan lays out a greater conservation vision for the park, it

is sympathetic with the concerns raised by the Friends of Island View Park and is not intending to fundamentally change the way in which the park operates. “We are not in opposition to what they want,” said Wilson. The CRD report will be taken back to the Parks Committee on Nov. 20 and, assuming it is adopted, it will go to the CRD Board in December. At that time it will replace the 1989 bylaw and become the governing document for the park.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Migratory bird mystery solved Researcher says bird crash in 1940 can help predict bad weather today Steven Heywood News staff

Kerry Finley believes he has solved a mystery that dates back to the 1940s and involved the disappearance of Bufflehead ducks on a large scale. The Sidney researcher and observer of Buffleheads for the last 16 years, Finley has linked an unusual weather pattern noted in 1940 with the crash in the population of the birds at that same time. Finley is a biologist who spent 14 years at Isabella Bay on Baffin Island, sponsored by World Wildlife Fund, National Geographic and the Canadian government, developing links between the area’s British whaling history and the role of oceanography and climate in biological productivity. He now lives in Sidney and monitors Buffleheads and their migration to Roberts Bay. Finley said his research — which began with his own father telling him tales about what happened at the time when the family lived in Saskatchewan — led him to weather reports around the time of the Second World War. It also brought him back to Saskatchewan to interview people who witnessed an extreme weather event that

time, he came across a paper published by Swiss meteorologists who had studied German weather documents from the 1940s. “They found that (the Germans) had discovered a stratospheric event in 1940 that hit the atmosphere … and manifested in strange weather patterns around the world,” Finley said. It occurred abruptly, ferociously on the prairies in Canada, he continued, causing temperatures to plunge. His thesis is that the Bufflehead were in a migration at that time and were hit by the extreme drop in temperature. Finley has postulated that Bufflehead, not unlike other migratory birds, make their massive annual movements based, in part, on the changing weather. “Last year’s early influx of Bufflehead on a very large scale foretold weather events of an extreme nature on the coast,” he said. “They make use of the weather patterns and they are the most punctual in the world due to physiological aspects,” Finley said, noting the birds also react to light, air pressure and temperature — which kicks them out of their summer habitat very abruptly. Based on what he found in weather patterns in Saskatchewan

in 1940, Finley said he’s better able to understand what happened and to better predict today when the Bufflehead arrive — and the weather they bring along with them. It’s the basis of an algorithm he has developed which he said has application in terms of forecasting large-scale weather systems in the Northern Hemisphere. Such a finding could have, he said, potential to impact aviation (weather and migratory bird conflicts) and climate research. The Bufflehead, he said “are really good indicators of climate patterns.”

OUR VIEW

A hard road ahead for STIG

hanging the direction of traffic on a portion of Sidney’s Beacon Avenue is going to be a hard sell — and the proponents of doing just that know they have a hard road ahead. The Sidney Tourism Improvement Group’s Two-Way All The Way campaign kicked off in earnest on Oct. 3 with a public meeting at the Mary Winspear Centre. They drew an estimated 50 people, many of whom were either supporters or municipal staff checking to see what the lobby group is up to. Attendees were a mix of downtown business people and local residents. There seems to be a focus on business and property owners in the downtown along Beacon Avenue in this campaign. In the early stages, that’s fine — the proponents need the support of those folks who could have a lot to gain (or lose) by changes in traffic patterns. Many reactions so far have been mixed. Over the long term, however, they will also have to sell the change to the community — the people who drive the streets and are, for the time being, used to the system as it is today. STIG will also have to come up with convincing arguments to deliver to Sidney town councillors. There are enough of the local politicians who have their doubts about the need for any changes at all that will make the path all the more tough. Where STIG has a bit of a leg up so far, is in public consultation on the issue. A traffic study by Urban Systems which was commissioned by the Town last year gave a brief opinion on the traffic flow on Beacon. The contract didn’t specifically ask Urban Systems to do so, but they had extra time available to look into it. In a nutshell, the consultants noted a general lack of intuitiveness in the flow of traffic on and off of Beacon Avenue — but really no other serious issues that need to be addressed immediately. They suggested strongly that for the town to take any action on the direction matter, they would need to consult heavily with the business community and residents in general. Council’s initial response was to bury the report at the committee level, essentially delaying making any decisions on the matter. Mayor Larry Cross says he wants the issue on council’s strategic planning agenda this month. STIG, however, wants local and visitor traffic — and its perceived boon on the fortunes of local business — on the table sooner than later. They may have reached out to the community first, but it’s the better arguments for change that will win this road race. What do you think?

It is another protesters’ guide with a pre-determined viewpoint. BCTF bosses love to talk about the importance of critical thinking. These one-sided caricatures of Nike, Enbridge and other familiar villains seem designed to produce the opposite. They remind me of George Orwell’s classic novel 1984, where loyal party members are required to focus on selected enemies in a daily ritual called the Two Minutes Hate. Perhaps this is a clue to why our school system produces so many students lacking in employment skills and bursting with demands for government-imposed wealth redistribution.

Taking sensible steps on pot

ime for Sensible marijuana laws in B.C. Mr. Fletcher’s recent editorial misrepresented the Sensible B.C. campaign, and could lead to confusion about our efforts for a marijuana referendum. The ultimate aim of Sensible B.C. is to have B.C.’s marijuana industry regulated in a similar manner to wine. Our proposed legislation, the Sensible Policing Act, is designed to bring us closer to that goal. The Sensible Policing Act has four components, all carefully designed to be within provincial jurisdiction. The first aspect is to redirect police resources away from being wasted on simple possession of marijuana. Last year, B.C. police made over 16,500 arrests for marijuana possession, draining $10.5 million in police and court time away from investigation of more serious criminal offences.

If Sensible B.C. is successful, then tens of thousands of hours of police and court time would immediately be freed up to pursue real criminals. This means safer communities for everyone, and less backlog in our courts. Second, our legislation treats a minor in possession of marijuana exactly the same as if it were alcohol. The allows police to deal with a teenager smoking pot, but without the lifetime criminal record that can restrict travel and employment. Third, the Sensible Policing Act calls upon the federal government to repeal marijuana prohibition, so that B.C. can regulate and tax it in a manner similar to wine and beer. This would send a powerful message of change to Ottawa, and give our Prime Minister the mandate to legalize. Finally, our legislation creates a B.C.

commission to figure out the rules needed to implement legalization. Like alcohol and tobacco, most of the regulation for legal marijuana would be determined at the provincial level. British Columbia cannot fully legalize marijuana without a change to federal law but we can take some sensible steps in the right direction. That is what Sensible B.C. is all about. We’re now about one month into our three month time-limit for gathering signatures. This is the largest and most organized marijuana reform effort in Canadian history. If you support sensible marijuana laws, then join our growing team of over 3,000 canvassers, and help collect signatures in your community. Find out more at SensibleBC.ca. Dana Larsen Sensible B.C.

Readers respond: Sandown deal, leash laws and media myths Councillors saved us

Thank you Councillors Brown, Daly, McBride and Mearns for saving North Saanich three quarters of a million dollars. In 2012, when North Saanich was first offered a land swap deal at Sandown, Mayor Finall called it “one of the most exciting proposals ever brought to North Saanich.” Coun. Stock called it a “once in a lifetime opportunity” and Coun. McMurphy, “the potential for a tremendous gift”. They were ready to accept the deal as offered. So we owe a very large thanks to Coun. Brown, Daly, McBride and Mearns for looking that particular gift horse in the mouth. Their business and political acumen and careful consideration of all details and outcomes for Sandown meant they didn’t rush to a quick approval of that flawed plan. They didn’t have stars in their eyes like some others and turned it down. They were vilified by many for their rejection of the first offer but stood by their decision because they knew it wasn’t the best deal for North Saanich and they were proved right. The proponent is now paying to fix the

flaws they pointed out. Because of their perseverance against tremendous pressure, they saved North Saanich residents the $750,000 we would have had to pay to fix them ourselves had we accepted that first deal. Mike Stanlake North Saanich

Leash revenues

It seems that Christy Clark is on the lookout for a large revenue stream. Recently, we encountered a B.C. Parks Enforcement Officer who is starting the task of writing $115 tickets if your dog is off leash. As we are new to the area and have thoroughly enjoyed the park with our dog, we noticed that out of every 100 people we have met in the park 90 of them have dogs and none are on leash. So all you nice people who enjoy John Dean Park like we do, be warned. We’ll be hiking at Mt. Work now. Vince Bennallack Saanichton

Media promote many myths

Re: “Science loses ground to superstition,” (B.C. Views, Oct. 2.) Tom Fletcher’s column hit on a subject that has bothered me for some time. Maybe it is the media’s preoccupation with eyeballs but it

seems to me that we are getting a lot of media output that gives faux reality the same weighting as scientifically tested data. We, the public, are still untrained in appreciating the truth freefor-all that the digital world has dumped on us and our educational system is not yet set up to notch up student’s BS meters. Thus we get public support for almost any conspiracy theory or economic myth, whether scientific or social. On the Island, this means we see the repeated return of the passenger rail solution to the Colwood Crawl traffic congestion; the never-ending suggestion that more health care spending will solve our health care issues; etc. Fletcher has a deserved reputation for telling it how it is. Keep it up. Jim Knock Esquimalt

Threats of dispair

The B.C. Liberals appear not only to be aligned with the Federal Conservatives, but mimic the Conservatives on economic growth. Interviews and responses from the Premier and ministers is indistinguishable from the Prime Minister and federal ministers addressing health, education,

economy, resource development. The Liberals have sat in the legislature 37 days in the past year, another Conservative maneuver to erode democracy. British Columbians have a crystal ball, just look to the federal government to see what is coming. People and environmental organizations are hinging hope on First Nations to slow down or stop this insanity for the gold rush mentality to extract resources at the destruction of water and land. Government only plays lip service to engage First Nation communities and these discussions take place after many secret meetings with industry.

In British Columbia, there are over 300 individual bands. Now these communities are being courted by industry bringing trinkets with promises of jobs for their people and money to improve their communities. Governments are using this model to convince mainstream Canadians unless the gold rush extraction of resources takes place everyone can look forward to a hopeless future for youth, greater struggles for families and no care for the aging population. We are standing witness to the Federal and Provincial Government threatening despair. Jo-Anne Berezanski North Saanichh

National Safety Week focus is on lifestyles Canada Safety Council urges parents to be role models when it comes to exercise and social interactions SIDNEY — A healthy start is the best start. This National School Safety Week, from Oct. 17 to 23, the Canada Safety Council recognizes that schools are communities of children. Children who are mindful of health and safety can have significant influence among their peers, and help to foster healthy school communities. Children’s lifelong value systems are significantly shaped by the role models in their lives. That is why we encourage parents, guardians and educators to emulate healthy lifestyles for their school-aged children. A healthy lifestyle includes getting enough exercise, eating balanced and nutritious meals and developing healthy relation-

ships. There are many benefits of regular exercise. Along with better

fitness and strength, active kids often do better in school and socially by having fun

playing with friends and learning new skills. Active children tend to be happier with better

self-confidence than their sedentary counterparts. Canadian and World

Health Organization guidelines indicate that children and youth need 60 minutes of

moderate-to-vigorous exercise every day.

SIDNEY — The Saanich Peninsula Fall Studio Tour starts Oct. 26 and is expected to bring art lovers from all over into local artists’ homes and studios. “We really try to reach the communities outside of just the Peninsula,” said organizer Richard Julian of the last Studio Tour held this past June. “We want people to come out to the Saanich Peninsula to see the world class artists we have here.” The event also traditionally attracts many

locals who visit their favourite artists during the bi-annual tours. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for the public to be able to go into a studio and see how an artist’s work originates,” he said. “Each time, we try and get a good selection of artists so we have a variety. This time we have potters, painters, artists who work in bronze and glass, even jewelry, and the fact that it’s self guided means people can pick and choose the artists and the mediums they

want to see.” The tour, which is self-guided with the help of a glossy map and brochure explaining the various artists work, happens Saturday, Oct. 26 and Sunday, Oct. 27 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The map can be easily picked up at the Community Arts Council centre in Tulista Park or at various businesses on the Peninsula and beyond. Maps can also be downloaded and printed from the Community Arts Council of

Sidney Fine Art Show set to impress

NEWS REVIEW

Juried show one of the premiere fine art shows in Western Canada say organizers SIDNEY — The annual Sidney Fine Art Show, presented by the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula, opens this week at the Mary Winspear Centre. The show is celebrating eleven years of featuring works from some of B.C.’s most highly regarded artists. “The Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula is excited and encouraged by the fact that over the years, the Sidney Fine Art Show has become one of the premiere juried fine art shows in Western Canada and a permanent fixture in the Peninsula’s annual fall arts schedule,” said Sandy Bligh, the chair of the Sidney Fine Art Show organizing committee, before last year’s show. “It’s an event that’s eagerly anticipated by artists, the community, and by the many volunteers who so generously give their time.” Adjudication for the show finished in mid-September and saw close to 400 pieces selected by three jurors out of 1,200 submissions. “In this economy one of our prime challenges remains to encourage artists working in all media to save and submit their best work for adjudication to the show,” Bligh said. The Sidney Fine Art Show opens Friday, Oct. 18 at 9 a.m. and continues through the weekend until Sunday, Oct. 20 at 5 p.m. Visit www.sidneyfineartshow.ca or call 250-6567400 for more information. — News staff ARTSEA AT THE SIDNEY North Saanich Library Open House.

Child Find clinic this Saturday at Sidney DFH Real estate offices have been helping parents with child safety for 15 years Steven Heywood News staff

For 15 years, volunteers who work at DFH Real Estate offices in Sidney and Greater Victoria have been helping parents keep their children a little safer. On Saturday, Oct. 19, DFH offices in Sidney, Victoria, Saanich and the West Shore will host Child Find clinics. Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., parents can bring their children under the age of 12 to those offices and have them fingerprinted by local police, a current photo taken and their height documented. Organizer Susan Dunn with DFH in Sidney says the information is collected and put in packages for the parents to keep — just in case. The information would be used by the parents in the case of a missing child. Dunn added the information gatherd is for the parents — the police do not keep the files.

“We try to make the child feel at ease and have fun.”

“We try to make the child feel at ease and have fun,” she added, noting there will be refreshments, treats, balloons and games for the kids and for their families. For the first 100 families to take part, Dunn said they will receive reflective Halloween trick or treat bags.

– Susan Dunn The clinics were spearheaded by DFH 15 years ago in Sidney by Mary Jane Roberton. Dunn was involved back then as well and said they did it because Roberton loved kids and wanted to do what she could to help. Dunn herself became

involved with Child Find as a board member in Victoria. While she is no longer on the board, she said she remains involved in organizing the annual event. Invitations have been sent out to schools who wish to participate in Child Find and Dunn added anyone is also welcome to drop in and take part. The Sidney DFH office is located at 2395 Beacon Ave., at the corner of Fifth Street.

Don’t forget to winterize. Winterizing protects your in-ground or micro/drip system against freezing and expansion, which can damage piping, fittings, valves and sprinkler heads. So bundle up now to keep your system safe and ready to use when the weather warms up. For more information about winterizing your in-ground or micro/drip system visit www.crd.bc.ca/water or call 250.474.9684.

We knew that our toilet was using water. We didn’t know it was losing water. When we heard that in one year a leaking toilet could waste enough water to fill a swimming pool, we wanted to know if our toilet was water tight. So we picked up a leak detector tablet and did the test. Turns out, our toilet needed a simple tune-up. Now it’s working fine.

viCtoria’S ultimate get out guide

SNAFU-style

CHRISTINE VAN REEUWYK

cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

hen Kitt & Jane: An Interactive Guide to the Near PostApocalyptic Future hits the stage the University of Victoria this week, it will be as refined as is physically possible. The SNAFU-produced show was part of SPARK Festival two years ago and the Vancouver Fringe last month. “We’ve been workshopping it a lot since then,” says director Kathleen Greenfield. Kitt & Jane is a highlight on this year’s Spotlight on Alumni that runs Oct. 17 to 26. It’s a collaborative effort of UVic Theatre alumni Greenfield (BFA ‘05) and Ingrid Hansen (BFA’09) with Rod Peter Jr. As much as 40 to 60 per cent of it has changed Greenfield says, noting all three involved – Hansen and Peter who perform as Kitt & Jane – work collaboratively. “When we start a project it’s never really finished, we’ve even made some changes since Vancouver,” Greenfield says. “As soon as you perform it for a group of people it changes. You learn what works and what doesn’t quite quickly.” The story focuses on two

socially awkward 14-yearolds who hijack their high school presentation and launch into fantastical instructions on how to survive the impending apocalypse told through playful music, fantastical lighting, shadow and found-object puppetry and naturally, humour. “They teach their fellow students how to survive,” Greenfield says. The idea was born of another Kitt project, the award-winning Little Orange Man. They chose to revisit the Kitt character that Greenfield and Hansen created. “We were having a lot of conversations about how scary it must be to be a youth today,” she says, explaining how issues like global warming were considered conspiracy theories when they were 14. “Now they’re very real.” “We wanted to talk to youth about those and encourage that they had a voice to speak,” she adds. “There’s a lot of references to youth movements all over the world that have changed their world for the better.” But that doesn’t limit the audience, she says. “We’re like PIXAR in that youth and adults get different messages from it,” she says. “(Phoenix) is a great place to meld those audiences.”

The Peace Lutheran Church in Sidney, in collaboration with Lutheran churches all over Canada, will be collecting sweaters this month for Syrian refugees through the organization Canadian Lutheran World Relief (CLWR). “This is great opportunity for people who have extra warm, cozy sweaters to put them to good use,” said Evelyn Wiggins from Sidney Peace Lutheran. “These people are living in tents in Jordan with a harsh, wet and cold winter coming on. Something as simple as a donation of a sweater you never wear makes a huge difference to them.” The CLWR is an agency that responds to disaster or other types of relief efforts all over the world, Wiggins said. The sweaters will be collected at Lutheran churches all over Canada and shipped to the

NEWS REVIEW

The chill in the air means it’s autumn M

aybe it would be a good idea to start with some messages today about coming events that may be of interest to gardeners. There is notice of a master gardener course starting in January at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. You need to sign up to attend by calling 250-479-6162. Some of you could be interested in a course called dry stonewalling. It sounds so challenging, although how would I explain a stone wall on the balcony? I’d probably be evicted, or if the balcony collapsed, land on the sidewalk three floors below crowned by a pyramid of boulders. Russell Nursery on Wain Road will offer a class called Dormant Pruning of Trees and Shrubs on Saturday, Oct. 26, Nov. 2 and Nov. 9 — all at 10 a.m., or 1 p.m. There’s also a class on pruning Japanese maples on Saturday, Nov. 16 (same times as above)

The foliage is turning on the Saanich Peninsula. No frost yet, either, which is nice, but there is a definite chill in the air in the early mornings now and mist on the open windows.

It’s fall for sure! Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 30 years.

B.C. Hydro zeroes in on power theft in its formal smart meter application Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. Hydro has formally applied to the B.C. Utilities Commission for approval of extra fees for people who refuse to use the utility’s wireless electricity meters. B.C. Hydro’s application

details costs expected for staff, vehicles and equipment for manual collection of meter readings, and adjusting the smart grid software and hardware to compensate for non-transmitting meters. It also estimates the cost of extra checks for elec-

tricity theft in areas where mechanical meters remain. Portable check meters are to be deployed to find unexplained power losses in those sections of the grid. The application seeks BCUC approval to impose fees announced by B.C. Hydro in September.

It confirms people who keep their old mechanical meter are to be charged $35 a month, while those who choose a wireless meter with the radio transmitter disabled will be charged a $100 setup fee and $20 a month for manual readings, starting April 1. The BCUC

could reduce the fees if it finds them to be excessive, or increase them if justified. A cabinet order issued in September instructs the BCUC to approve fees that cover the actual cost to B.C. Hydro of accommodating people who refuse to take part in the wireless monitor-

ing system. B.C. Hydro has sent letters to 60,000 households that have refused smart meters, outlining the options and a form to making their choice. Those who make no choice will be assigned the $35-a-month default option, effective Dec. 1. — Black Press

Camilo Dominguez’s magic in the air CHArlA HuBEr charla@goldstreamgazette.com

ive Camilo Dominguez some cards and prepare to be mesmorized. The young 23-year-magician began honing his craft at the ripe young age of four when he was growing up in Colombia. Dominguez is performing his close-up magic at the McPherson Playhouse, Oct. 18 and 19. Projectors will be set up with large screens so the audience can get a good look at his tricks. “I told my mother I wanted to be a magician and she looked one up in the phonebook to teach me,” he said, adding the first card trick he learned involved four aces.

He has since mentored under other magicians who have helped him develop his career as a professional magician. Dominguez attended Belmont secondary school when he was 15 as an international student and now lives in Vancouver. At Belmont he worked with teacher Troy Harris, founder of Canadian World Education Society. Through his society, Harris has built and run a school in Nepal. Harris’ society is now helping educate children from preschoolers to Grade 12. Dominguez has performed at several of the CanWES fundraisers and is donating a portion of the profits from these shows to the cause. The shows are at 8 p.m. on Oct. 18 and 19 at the McPherson Playhouse, 3 Centennial Sq. Tickets are $20 and available on his website camilothemagician.com.

FAMILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

DEATHS

Colleen Pringle (nee Kealey) Born September 14, 1931 in Maple Creek, Saskatchewan, Colleen passed away peacefully in the loving presence of her daughter and grandchildren on October 3, 2013, aged 82. Colleen is predeceased by her beloved husband Rod (January 3, 2013), sister Patricia and brothers Ed and Pat. Colleen is still loved and greatly missed by her daughter Kealey, grandchildren Emerald and Kelt, son Rod, sister Shirley, brothers John (Gerry) and Bill (Judy), sister-in-law Mary (Geoff Pringle, predeceased), and nieces and nephews. Colleen was a joyful, positive, kind person. She always saw the good in people and she believed in humanity. She was, and taught others to be: kind, loving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, selfless, generous, humble, passionate, determined, faithful, dependable, constant, strong, and brave. Colleen worked as a public school teacher, starting two weeks before turning 19 in the town of Lund, in a one-room schoolhouse. She primarily taught grade one and was passionate about teaching kids to read. Colleen met Rod during her first year of teaching in Lund when she was 19 and he was 21. They married a year later in 1952; they had 60 years of joyful marriage together. Colleen employed her love of the intellect through reading, bridge and conversation. Colleen read voraciously and constantly sought more knowledge through books, people and travelling. She enjoyed, since the age of eleven, the game of bridge. After Rodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s retirement, they played three or four times a week. Colleen was a staunch socialist and an active, impressive leader in her community. In 1969, she ran for MLA in Vernon with the NDP accomplishing a stunning second in a conservative riding. Colleen and Rod were an integral part of a Unitarian Fellowship in the Okanagan for 30 years. Colleen believed and lived the Unitarian Principles, such as the inherent worth and dignity of every person and the interconnectedness of all life. After retirement and the family grown, Colleen and Rod left the Vernon family home on Okanagan Lake and moved to Victoria to be close to their grandkids. Colleen was always warm, friendly and kind. She gently reminded us: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be good to yourself. Be sweet, and above all, be kind.â&#x20AC;? A service will be held in Victoria December 7. For condolences or to inquire regarding the service, mccallbros.com.

Botanica Fermented Botanicals are created using a proprietary, extensively researched and highly potent symbiosis of yeast and bacteria. The fermentation process lasts several months, and transforms significant phytocompounds in the botanicals into their bioavailable forms, maximizing the therapeutic value of the herb. This process also results in the creation of a powerful synergy of bioavailable antioxidants, organic acids, probiotics, enzymes, and B vitamins.
