Oil spill route
SIDNEY — Two environmental groups and high school students from Saltspring Island dropped hundreds of yellow pieces of plywood into Boundary Pass and Haro Strait this week to study the potential spread of an oil spill in the waters around southern Vancouver Island. Sidney-based Raincoast Conservation Foundation and the Georgia Strait Alliance launched the second phase of their initiative to create a map of how far a spill might travel. People who find the wood can help by picking it up and visiting www.SalishSeaSpillMap.org.

CRD saw park as a coastal wetland Continued from page 1
“The land is described as grassland and low rushes. There is no mention of a salt water marsh.” Austin also pointed to a document dating back to one of the original land owners. “In 1892, Puckle described it as 30 acres of good land. They grew oats here … vegetables. This was never what the CRD wants it to be now.” Lynn Wilson, Senior Park Planner and CRD spokesperson acknowledges there was an “agricultural overlay” imposed upon the property over the past 150 years, but suggests that isn’t the natural state of the property. “If you wanted that kind of landscape, perhaps it should have been kept in private ownership,” said Wilson. “But that isn’t the history of land acquisition.” So what is the CRD’s plan for the property? Critics maintain that it’s difficult to pin down. The plan, coupled with the CRD’s record in the park since 1989, seems to indicate a predilection toward allowing the property to become a wetland. Despite a legal requirement to maintain the historic drainage ditches on the property (set out in a 1989 bylaw) the CRD failed to do so for over 20 years, despite repeated requests from area residents and Central Saanich district council. This resulted in what Vernon Michell called a mosquito plague. Michell is an area resident whose family history on the land goes back over one hundred years, When asked for an explanation of this failure to adhere to the bylaw, Wilson was uncertain. “Maybe there hadn’t been a memory of that commitment,” said Wilson. When reminded of correspondence and two petitions that would presumably have refreshed the CRD memory of their commitment, Wilson responded, “it wasn’t a priority for us, the way we understood the park was as a coastal wetland. We saw it was a natural area where drainage wasn’t part of the mix.” That understanding of the park’s natural state is supported within the proposed plan. It says: “The veg-

No return to the past for Island View Beach
According to Dr. David Blundon it’s unlikely that what existed one thousand years ago at Island View Park lands will ever truly be re-created. Blundon teaches at Camosun College’s Environmental Technology Program and has been supervising students’ research projects in the park. He has provided the CRD with information on the importance of the coastal wetland ecosystems. According to the CRD, Blundon’s input is “salient to our current policy directions around ditching, drainage, mosquito control, berm maintenance, etc.” Yet Blundon acknowledges that doing away with the berms and ditches and allowing some Island View Park lands to flood would not result in a return to a pristine wetland that may have existed there one thousand years ago. “We know that it was probably a wetland,” said Blundon. “Our soil samples show a level of salinity that indicates a salt-water incursion to the area over a long period of time.” Yet Blundon admits that the human overlay on the property has fundamentally changed the ecosystem there and it is unlikely that the original landscape can be resurrected. “About 95 per cent of the plant species there originated in England. They are invasive species and it would take a massive expenditure of money and effort to remove those plants and return native species to the park.” Blundon maintains that a balance between conservation and recreation is possible, but acknowledges that the balance is sometimes difficult to attain.
etation communities in the coastal wetland have been impacted by the presence of the coastal berm and drainage ditches.” It also states: “Within the park, the extensive system of drainage ditches has also contributed to changes to the wetland’s soil and vegetation composition.” “This land wants to be wet,” said Wilson. Yet the plan doesn’t specifically state that the ditches will be abandoned. “We have policy direction from the parks committee to maintain ditches and the berms and we are now maintaining the ditches,” said Wilson. “We have not called for the ditches to be filled in within the plan.”

Wilson acknowledges environmental concerns are reflected within the plan that could lead people to believe that the CRD plans to allow the land to become a wetland. As well, there are aspects of the plan that allow that course of action. The plan calls for a continued study of what the CRD describes as the “natural ecosystem” and the ability to change the plan in lieu of such studies. “It’s what’s called adaptive management, if you get new information you may change management approach,” said Wilson. “We would still have to go back to the Parks Board to do that.” “I’ve read and re-read the plan,” said Austin. “There’s
nothing in it that requires that sort of approval.” And some area residents are distrustful of the CRD’s goals in the park. “There’s a hidden agenda and no one really knows what it is, but there’s an obvious ecological slant,” said Dan Van Stolk, an area resident not affiliated with Austin’s group. The mistrust between the CRD and some park users and area residents has resulted in the Friends of Island View Beach mounting their own public information strategy. They’ve posted a web site (www.friendsofislandviewbeach.com) and have hosted independent information sessions at the park.
Wilson said these actions are nothing more than fear mongering — the efforts of a few people to influence the future of the park. According to Mark Hawkes, the president of Citizen Canine, the solution lies in better communication. “They need to stop talking about each other and start talking to each other,” said Hawkes. His group of dog owners was formed 11 years ago to present a united voice to confront what Hawkes said was a heavy-handed CRD approach to dogs in regional parks. “Years ago, we taught the CRD that they can’t just ignore dog owners,” said Hawkes, adding through respectful consultation his group has managed to make some inroads into the “us and them” mentality that sometimes develops in issues of this kind. His group has consulted with the CRD and he has a much more robust confidence that their needs will be respected in any park plan. But Austin maintains there have been no opportunities for his group and others to establish this sort of communication. “The public meeting they (the CRD) had in January was an absolute disgrace,” said Austin. “Much of the information they presented they knew to be wrong and there was no chance for us to refute anything they said or to educate others.” The CRD eschews the critics’ call for further consultation. “We have a report prepared by Elevate Consulting that summarizes all of the public input,” said Wilson. “We had a very successful online survey of park users and several information sessions during the preparation of the plan. All that information will be presented to the Parks Board (of the CRD).” In all, 77 survey responses were obtained. Wilson said the “town hall sort of meeting” called for by critics of the plan would serve no useful purpose. The proposed plan for Island View Beach is available at www.crd.bc.ca/parks/ islandview/documents/2013IVBDraftInterimPlan.

Wednesday,October October30, 30,2013 2013--PENINSULA PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW Wednesday,
Street Smarts
A realtor friend of mine phoned me from a shopping mall the other day, livid about something that had happened to him. He had left his son in the car playing a video game while he ran in quickly to grab a bottle of olive oil (er, wine). He was in the store for approximately 4 minutes and when he came back to his vehicle he said to his son: “everything thing ok buddy?” “Everything is great Dad, except for the lady that banged your door with her car.” “Whaaaa?” Another driver had pulled up next to him and opened up her car door into his new SUV and there was now a lovely little crease in his passenger front door. Coincidentally, the same thing happened to me on the ferry when my truck was less than two hours old. Now there is no way I could get the wording of my friend and my conversation past the editor here at the News Review but lets just say that the word “colorful” comes to mind. So what is the recourse for such an action? Well, if the person is still parked and you have noticed it, take
some really good photos with your camera phone (everyone has one of those now), including the license plate. When we photograph vehicles, we always take measurements of the height and width of the damage so insurance companies can correlate the damage to other vehicles involved. If the other party has fled the scene it will be a hit and run claim and your rates will not be affected. If you have the time to wait for them, you can insist that they open their door to make sure that you can photograph their door edge and your dent(s) if they have hit it with more than one door. Careless people do a lot of damage to other people’s vehicles. My advice to my friend after he had calmed down was to wait patiently for the third party to come back and document the damage. Then go home and open his bottle of olive oil to ease the pain.

There are changes afoot for the Sidney North Saanich branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library (VIRL) but users will have to wait nearly five years to see them. VIRL executive director Rosemary Bonanno and director of finance Adrian Mass recently presented Sidney town council with their longrange plans for the local library branch. As part of their ongoing planning, VIRL is looking to change the floor plan and interior elements of the Sidney North Saanich library — even expand the facility itself. Mass said the branch renewal is expected to take between four or five years, as funding and priorities are developed. “Before we can do anything, we have to have a toolkit in place,” Mass said. That toolkit is a proposed local service area (LSA) that would

The Sidney North Saanich branch of the Vancouver Island Regional Library. raise money in the form of a tax to help pay for the renovation of the library. Mass said meeting with the town and its partner in the library — the District of North Saanich — is a vital first step to gauge local interest and need. VIRL is also considering other funding options through all of its branch renewal projects. A facilities master plan not only calls on the VIRL to catch up on growth and upgrades to its libraries, but to look at direct ownership, partnerships and private-sector investment as ways to obtain fund-
ing. High on the priority list is direct ownership, which would involve seeking support for an LSA at the Capital Regional District level. That, Mass explained, would allow VIRL to borrow from a pool of money raised throughout the CRD. Mayor Larry Cross noted that Sidney would have to sign on to such a plan through the CRD. “Without that,” added Mass, “we would have no access to borrowed funds at all.” PLease see: Room to grow, page 5

Food bank prepares for hamper season Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Sidney Lions Food Bank is preparing for its busiest time of year and is looking for donations to help make clients’ holiday season a little brighter. “Christmas hampers are really important to our clients because it can be a really tough time of year financially for a lot of people,” said Bev Elder, the food bank’s administrator, who added that the not-for-profit sees more people using the food bank over Christmas than they usually do. “We normally serve about 320 households on the Saanich Peninsula but around Christmas time we serve over 450,” she said. The Sidney Lions Food Bank
makes up their own hampers and includes in them things that help make the holiday season a little brighter for their clients. “We try and include things they wouldn’t normally get like chocolate, personal care items and a grocery store gift card to buy a turkey and veggies or whatever else they need for Christmas dinner,” Elder said. Elder said the challenge each year is competing with other, larger charities who exclusively seek donations around Christmas. “It can be hard because people like to spread around their donations and I think a lot of people see the seasonal charities and think to donate to them but might forget about charities like the food bank who operate
year round,” said Elder, noting that after Christmas the need for food items for clients as well as school breakfast programs is still there. “Everything we do here is local. If you donate you know it’s going to be used by a local family or school no matter what time of year,” she said. Monetary donations can be made at the food bank (9586 Fifth St.) or online through www. sidneyfoodbank.com. Donations of food can be dropped off between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m. Monday to Friday. Christmas hampers will be assembled at the end of November and handed out mid-December. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

Room to grow at the Sidney North Saanich library Continued from page 4
What the VIRL is proposing, Mass continued, is an LSA that would cover branches in Sidney, Sooke, Metchosin and elsewhere. Boananno and Mass added they are starting their pitch to municipalities in the VIRL system now, in advance of the 2014 budget year. The Sidney North Saanich branch at approximately 6,000 square feet in floor space, serves an estimated 47 per cent of the population. To reach more people, Bonanno said it needs to grow to
some 11,000 sq. ft. to facilitate additional services and draw in more users. “We are finding people want a larger hub for their community,” said Bonanno in response to a question from Councillor Mervyn LougherGoodey. “Are there any differences in the Sidney branch, over another branch?” LougherGoodey asked, referring to Sidney’s population of ‘people of a certain age’. Bonanno said while the local library does get its share of senior users, there is plenty of interest in its ser-

Park plan needs bigger picture
I
t looks like there’s a no-win situation brewing over the future of Island View Beach Regional Park, as a small group of residents clash with the Capital Regional District over what’s best for the land. And the situation is being created by the stubborn positions being taken up by both sides and the rhetoric thrown back and forth — instead of respectful debate that could actually breach the gap of misunderstanding between the two parties. Mark Hawkes of Citizen Canine is correct when he says the residents and CRD must talk with each other, instead of talking about each other. Only then can progress be made. It’s getting to that point of realization that’s the tough part after taking up belligerent positions on the issue. There’s a balance here that must be struck, as it would over any park space that yearns to be as close to natural as possible — but is so close to urban populations that they cannot be ignored. From the debate outlined on today’s front page, it seems all sides have valid perspectives on what came before on the land that is now called Island View Beach. It was, at one time, all natural. It was, at one time, home to First Nations. It was, at one time, agricultural land. It is, today, a park operated by the CRD with its responsibilities to the public and to its own bottom line. From out of all of that history and current activity, there must be a balance point, where all interests are represented. After all, people aren’t going to vanish from around the park and the land probably isn’t going to revert back to any purely natural form. Whatever plan eventually comes out of the CRD will not please everyone, but hopefully it will address the major concerns around human activity in and around the park. Most people simply enjoy the area for its recreational opportunities and as long as this battle doesn’t impact that, the debate will be confined to the minutiae of planning, which generally interest very few. It’s time both sides address the bigger picture and work on a plan that lives up to that mission.

Now their wages are generally higher and taxpayers have to cover their personal pension contributions (as a portion of those wages) as well as the employer contributions, plus the defined benefit payout, which has to be subsidized far beyond what the pension fund can support. On the debt-financed welfare state, there are memorable observations like this one: “For the record, the generous Quebec welfare state and its ostensibly more progressive model are paid for in part with the taxes of other Canadians; Quebec is merely the North American equivalent of Greece.” The recent B.C. political crisis over adoption of the harmonized sales tax showed that there is too much emotion and too little knowledge about how taxes work. This book is a step towards addressing that. Twitter:@tomfletcherbc E-mail: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Education on compost needed
I
all know, those are now the very concerns of the neighbours of Foundation Organics. A separate composting system needs to be implemented to handle the items mentioned above. This material should be placed in ditches that are at least 18” deep then moistened prior to covering with organic material. The breakdown is slower than with regular composting, but the odour factor and concern over flies and rodents is eradicated. Inadequate time for decomposition results in the fermentation process which produces alcohol, rendering the material toxic to plant roots and should not be applied in your garden.
have followed with great interest the comments and ongoing drama regarding the CRD plan to divert kitchen and other organic waste for recycling. I have always maintained a backyard compost myself so I was horrified to learn that meat, poultry, bones, dairy products, solidified fats and grease were to be included (not separate) for pick up and disposal in the CRD bins supplied to the public. My first thought was how do they expect to process these items without attracting ghastly infestations of rodents and flies to the compost site? My next thought was what about the stink of such decomposing matter? Well, as we
Were these the recommendations that the CRD proposed in their bylaws, regarding compost facility regulations and approved operating plan? The recent announcement concerning the suspension of Foundation Organics’ license and the plan to transport 4,474 tons of food waste to an alternate site for disposal this month, only moves the problem to someone else’s backyard. The Victoria Compost Education Centre provides extremely helpful tips about separating various kitchen wastes and other organic matter for recycling if only someone would call them.

Readers respond: Climate change, Beacon Avenue, Brentwood Climate not following predictions Deborah Rasnick’s raising of alarm about climate change in your Oct. 11 issue may sound great until you understand climate is not following predictions of alarmist models — negligible sea level rise (according to Canadian and American government agencies), no warm spot in the middle atmosphere, and 16 years without statistically significant warming (even according to the alarmist organizations CRU and NASA). Such as that the Antarctic has not warmed, that the primary greenhouse gas — water vapour — is changing in a way not predicted by the models and that warmer weather has fewer storms. Peer-reviewed research shows alternative explanations for climate variation such as solar emissions spawning high altitude clouds and changing ocean currents — the ocean being a massive heat sink. Has Rasnick looked at that research? And there is a fundamental limit to the effect that CO2 can have, most of that already realized — even the
IPCC shows the limit in their documents, but starts the calculation at the wrong point in time. Alarmists don’t like to read history — they deny the Medieval Warm Period and the warmth of the 1930s, for example. They see every storm as proof while ignoring the one in New York in 1962 and destructive hurricanes going way back in the 20th century and earlier. All they have is their theories. It looks to me as though the climate is behaving as it did in the 1930s — still the hottest decade in history once NASA corrected its Y2K error, with the Arctic lagging. Why are people like Rasnick so willing to believe negativity about humans, instead of studying physics and looking at facts? Keith Sketchley Saanich

when they cross the road so they have the advantage of actually looking where they are going. The point, to my mind, is that Sidney traffic over the last 10 years has increased significantly. There is already a long line of vehicles waiting in two lanes for the lights to change at Fifth. Restrict traffic to one lane and the line will begin to clutter the Resthaven intersection; longer still if someone wants to turn left. Even right would pose a problem as pedestrians use that intersection too. What we have works well. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Chris Harker North Saanich
What the hell is going on in the sleepy town of Brentwood Bay? There are empty store fronts, litter is getting out of control and graffiti is popping up everywhere. The broken window syndrome is in danger of taking over. I walk my dog past driveways full of ugly used cars and rusting boat trailers and find myself constantly picking up after people who just don’t seem to care. Town council better start passing some bylaws or dedicating some funding to clean up before this place loses what little charm it has left. C. Scott Stofer Brentwood Bay

Haven’t yet experienced the fears and phobia that seem to become larger than life at Halloween? There is still one night left to experience Evil Acres — a haunted house in North Saanich. A haunted barn, actually, where the chills and thrills are brought to visitors by Randevil Mortimer, Hellson and an entire cast of creepy characters. Randevil says this is the first year Evil Acres has been in its current location but has roots in North Saanich (he credits district staff for helping get the place set up), having burst from the grave out on Glamorgan Road years ago. He said Evil Acres is a work in

progress, but so far this season, reaction from visitors has been good.
“I do this because people have fun,” he said. When he started, Randevil wanted to give adults the thrills and chills that children enjoy at Halloween. To that end, he preys upon people’s fears, their anticipation and even their imagination. Mixed in are the work of 27 actors — from various walks of life — who enjoy scaring people half to death. As a result, Evil Acres warns it’s not for the faint of heart, or health. But don’t expect to learn the secrets of Evil Acres here — you’ll have to experience it for yourself. Randevil said he’s always improving his haunted house experience and already has some big plans for the 10-night run in 2014. “I’m going to take it to a dif-
ferent level,” he said. Evil Acres uses a portion of its proceeds to raise money for a Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock rider. They also accept donations for the local food bank. The big night of All Hallows Eve is the last show at Evil Acres out on Wilson Road in North Saanich. For directions, ticket prices and more, visit www.evilacres.com.
Halloween Bonfire
The District of North Saanich fire department holds its annual bonfire and fireworks on Thursday, Oct. 31 at 6:30 p.m. at their Wain Road location. The fireworks start at 7:45 p.m.
Saanich Peninsula has its own haunts Tim Collins Contributor
With Halloween here again, residents of Sidney might be forgiven for making their way to the Haunted Bookshop to see if they might discover a spirit lingering amongst the rare volumes. They’d be in the wrong place. The Haunted Bookshop isn’t haunted. The name is taken from a work by Christopher Morley and has nothing to do with ghosts. “In some ways the shop’s name has become the bane of my existence,” said Odean Long, the shop’s owner. “People come in here looking for books on the occult. We’re not that kind of shop.” Yet that doesn’t mean the Peninsula is without its own
restless spirits. John Adams, the operator of the Ghostly Walks (amongst other historical tours) in Victoria, maintains there are a locations in the area where ghostly sightings are common. Perhaps the best known of these spooky sites is Butchart Gardens. Adams has been told stories of the family home, Benvenuto, where a ghostly apparition of a man has been seen cruising through the rooms late at night. Adams said people have also reported feeling tugs on their clothing and hearing organ music that doesn’t originate from the sound system. The action isn’t restricted to Benvenuto. Adams said that late at night, after everyone has left the park, security staff have reported seeing a young
girl riding a tricycle and making her way down the paths. When they investigate, she disappears. But the action isn’t limited to Butchart Gardens. According to Adams, there was a house on Ardmore Drive so haunted that it needed to be demolished. No one would live there. Then there’s the strange case of the phantom tractor. It’s seen late at night in the area of Stelly’s X Road. Apparently the ghostly farmer can’t rest until his fields are tended. There are no reports as to what he’s growing. Horth Hill Park has a resident spirit as well, according to Adams. “I’ve had a lot of reports of people seeing a house on the property. They see it, and then
it’s gone. The sightings have been accompanied by a real sense of unease and anxiety.” The strangest haunting, though, takes place at the Stonehouse Restaurant at Canoe Cove. According to Ron Wolfe, the general manager, the building was constructed around 1935 as a personal residence. Sometime around 1940, though, it was the scene of a horrible accident (at least it was assumed to be an accident). A young boy, the eightyear-old son of the owners of the home was found hanged in his upstairs bedroom. Apparently, the unfortunate lad never left. PLEASE SEE: Hauntings just might, page 10

Sidney Concert Band pays tribute to vets
Musical salute on Nov. 3 will feature pipes, drums Devon MacKenzie News staff
Sidney Concert Band will give a nod to veterans this weekend during their 2013 Musical Salute to Veterans on Sunday, Nov. 3. This year’s show will take place at St. Elizabeth’s Church in Sidney on Third Street which will offer about 100 more seats than last year’s show. “In 2012 we had to turn away over 100 people who came to see the performance at the Charlie White Theatre,” said Terry Erskine, vice-president and percussionist in the band. “With the larger venue this year we’re hoping to be able to accommodate everyone who comes.” The show, which is sponsored by Michelle Holmes and Holmes Realty, will feature the Sidney Concert Band as well as the Saanich Peninsula Pipe Band and vocalist Stephanie Benbow playing a musical selection that features something for everyone. “There will be music that everyone will recognize but especially our veterans,” said Erskine. The band is made up of close to 40 members ranging in age from 18 to over 80. This year will mark the fourth annual tribute show and Erskine said the caliber of music has continued to rise

since the band’s inception in 1986. “Our sound has continued to improve each year as well as the caliber and selection of music. Our musical director Rob Bannister has really pushed us and we’re really looking forward to this show,” said Erskine, adding that the band has been rehearsing twice a week in preparation for the show. The show at St. Elizabeth’s on Nov. 3 starts at 2:30 p.m. and is by donation with proceeds going back into the community band.

It might be best to keep an open mind.” If you’re inclined to visit ghostly locations in and around Victoria, go to www.discoverthepast.com for a list of times for John Adams’ ghostly walks.
