Station 31 along with others will be out in force during the lighted boat parade at the end of the month to help vessels navigate safely in the dark. In the fall of 2011 Brentwood Bay was established as a separate station as a rescue boat had already been located in Brentwood since the early 80s. Station 31 serves the Saanich Inlet from Goldstream out to Satellite Channel. “The lighted boat parade is

Whether it’s making sure crab traps are lit with markers before the parade starts or it’s making sure every last boat gets into harbour after the parade, the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue (RCM SAR) stations 31 and 36 along with a handful of other volunteer groups are the reason the lighted boat parade is such a success every year. “The RCM SAR groups and the Coast Guard and Coast Guard Auxiliary are very important to the lighted boat parade every year,” said Warren Franklin, a co-chair of the annual event. “Not only do they lead us around the course and help make sure we’re safe, they also go above and beyond offering tips to boaters before the parade and seeing us all back at the end of the parade. We couldn’t do it without them.” RCM SAR station 31 out of Brentwood Bay was formerly part of station 36 Saanich which is based out of Canoe Cove Marina in North Saanich.

to the staging area and make sure they’re all ready to go and lead them out. One boat also follows alongside the parade to make sure everything is going smoothly.” PleaSe See: Skippers’ meeting set, page 4

Look what’s in Friday’s Driveway With more than a decade of working as an auto journalist under her belt, Driveway columnist Alexandra Straub knows a thing or two about being on the road. In this Friday’s edition of Driveway, Straub writes about the importance of training yourself to be a better and safer driver. “Poor driving habits – not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing – are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact,” she says. “It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.” Also in this week’s auto section, Zack Spencer test drives the 2014 Cadillac GTS while Bob McHugh looks at the benefits of buying used, specifically the 2010-2012 MercedesBenz E-Class sedans. Driveway is the weekly automotive section that runs in Black Press community newspapers in B.C. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Series: Tour of Industry

It’s about location for Thrifty Foods Grocery chain’s distribution centre in North Saanich keeps delivery costs competitive Steven Heywood News staff

When you roll open the big doors of industry on the Saanich Peninsula, what you find there can be surprising. That’s the goal of the annual Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce Tour of Industry, which held its fourth such tour at the end of October. There were five main businesses on the tour, with additional stops at VIH Aviation Group and the Mary Winspear Centre. The tours are held as a way of introducing these industry players to community leaders. The visits, while brief, provide insight into the value each business brings to the Peninsula and the issues they face in achieving success. And at times, when the interiors of these businesses are revealed to people normally on the outside, there is plenty to see and to learn. The first stop was Thrifty Foods’ distribution centre in North Saanich. Manager of retail support centres (Victoria) Bob Cool led a group on the tour through the floor-toceiling rows of produce and foodstuffs that are collected here and eventually distributed to the company’s network of grocery stores on the Island. “I’m a cost centre,” Cool said of the operation. “I’m supposed to be efficient as I can.” That, he continued, means following a streamlined operation of shipping and receiving that uses the latest technology to keep track of where each item is, how long it has been in transit and its shelf-life. The centre, to ensure safety for the consumer, follows strict industry-wide regula-

Franklin said for a first time participant or new boater in the light boat parade, the aspect of motoring at night can be a bit daunting. “That’s why it’s so great to know we have RCM SAR there with us,” he said. The parade runs annually and is organized by Franklin and a committee in conjunction with Peninsula Celebrations Committee who organize Sidney Spar-

The Celebrations Society and the lighted boat parade committee are currently busy recruiting vessels for this year’s event which is set to take place on Saturday, Nov. 30. “We had 23 boats in the parade last year that came from yacht clubs and marinas all over

Amenity fees approved

COUNCIL NEWS

News staff

District of North Saanich - Monday, Nov. 4, 2013 Steven Heywood News staff

• District council unanimously agreed to write to the federal minister responsible for Canada Post to consider new financial services offered through the postal service and make an upcoming review of Canada Post’s charter a public process. Coun. Elsie McMurphy led the motion, saying it’s important to have public feedback. “People still depend on the postal service, especially in rural areas without a lot of access to online services,” she said. • Coun. Ted Daly led a motion to renew the District’s membership in the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. The annual cost is $1,841.48. Council did not approve an FCM travel fund option in the amount of $194.06. • Council received District staff’s second quarter work plan for information. The plan outlined projects that are complete, in progress or yet to begin. • The District of North Saanich is supportive of the Town of Sidney’s initiative to host a Creative City Summit in 2016 to 2017 — provided the proposal includes organizing a local study tour within North Saanich.

North Saanich can still vary what it can charge developers for housing growth Steven Heywood Amenity fees paid by developers of residential property within the District of North Saanich will go into a new reserve fund with the municipality and be used for future projects. Councillors ratified the District’s new amenities policy on Monday, Nov. 4 after months of debate and wrangling over just what the municipality was going to charge people for developing property. While the policy sets out guidelines on what to charge for building new homes, apartments and townhouses, the final amount paid by developers could still vary. The use of the money collected is being earmarked for such areas as agriculture, affordable housing, environment, culture and heritage, parks and recreation, municipal services and other non-municipal amenities or facilities. Wording in the policy approved by council does appear to leave a lot

What’s the charge? On the premise that new development can create more demand for community services, the District of North Saanich will charge residential builders amenity fees. • Single family lots: $16,000 • Townhouses/patio homes: $9,500 per unit • Apartments: $8,000 per unit

of leeway in what the District and its council can spend the money on — and how much money they can charge developers. “This policy is a guideline and prescriptive,” reads the report on the policy’s intent. “Council may ask for more or less than the target depending on the specifics of an application.” PLEASE SEE: Amenities policy allows, page 19

Three cheers for the volunteers

s the twinkling lights decked out on boats make their way past appreciative crowds on the piers during Sidney’s annual lighted boat parade, it can be easy to overlook the boat and crew of the local Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue units. Boaters make their way safely through the route — to the oohs and ahhs of folks who love a parade (and get two on the evening of Saturday Nov. 30, including the Sidney Sparkles Santa Parade thanks to the Peninsula Celebrations Society) — and are able to do so confidently, knowing there are dedicated volunteers to lead the way home. Thanks to the RCMS SAR, events such as this go off without a hitch year after year. And it’s only the tip of the iceberg of the service they provide to coastal communities such as those of the Saanich Peninsula. It takes a dedicated and community-first personality to be a part of any search and rescue organization, whether it is based on the water or on land. In this province, many of the people who are charged with saving us when circumstances go wrong are volunteers. They form the backbone of this service alongside the search and rescue operators of the Canadian Forces and their contribution is worthy of our respect. Volunteers put their families on hold and their lives at risk to venture out onto frigid waters or into the dense bush of the Island to rescue people in dire straits. The work can be stressful and even dangerous, yet the volunteers are still out there. So it is nice, every once in a while, when they get to participate in events that are more festive in nature. From yacht club opening days to a celebration of the season under sparkling lights, their presence is seen, noted and appreciated. During this year’s lighted boat parade, give the volunteers on board the RCMS SAR vessel a few extra cheers. They certainly deserve it. What do you think?

agreed on. Redford accepts B.C.’s five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed Canadian Energy Strategy, which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington. If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas. None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

Is Harper taking the Fifth?

don’t condone the spending by these Senators, but let’s be honest, expenses for politicians are outrageous across the country. But sticking to this newsbyte, Senators Duffy and Wallin have everything to lose, so they are either exposing Mr. Harper’s authenticity, or pulling everyone under the bus. Either way, I hope this path leads us to the Emerald City and exposes the Wizard for what he is. Mr. Harper has been described by the political analysts, columnists and educators as a tactician and micro-manager. Now Canadians are being asked to weigh-in on truth or lies and accept that Mr. Harper until caught “did not know anything about the goings-on in his own office from the beginning”. Here is what I know taking this newsbyte and casting a wider net to other press head-

lines — which should send a serious wakeup call to Canadians. Mr. Harper’s behaviour and tactics is all about deliberately withholding details. Only when particulars are reported in the press raised by opposition leaders, environmental and political organizations and interest groups are government bills, trade deals, industry involvement and silencing scientists are described as “the devil is in the details”. The crisis facing mankind is not limited to global warming but our ignorance in the information age from overexposure to world news and issues. News and political junkies will look below the headline but what we know from voter turnout is Canadians are so disenfranchised and discouraged with our democratic process they choose not to be part of

the problem by voting. The culture of our politicians and politics is no longer acceptable. People have been calling for transparency but this has not happened in Canada since the Conservatives were elected. Mr. Harper’s close allies in the Senate are exposing a side of the Prime Minister that caught him and the Conservatives by surprise. Mr. Mulcair and Mr. Trudeau should be asking the question: Has the Prime Minister given direction to anyone in government to use the government’s power to introduce legislation or a new law to shield him or ministers from giving evidence under oath on the Senate scandal, similar to taking the Fifth Amendment in the United States? Jo-Anne Berezanski North Saanich

Readers respond: GMO labelling rules Canada lagging behind on GMO labelling I believe Canadians should be given the right to know which foods are genetically modified and thus have a choice in deciding whether we want to buy them or not. It is refreshing to see that England now does this (even though it took some critical food scares to get them there) along with many other European countries. Why are we lagging behind? Farmers and government are controlled by the chemical and junk food corporations. Monsanto does not have the consumer’s interests at heart, they are only motivated by profits. This subject should be of vital importance as it directly affects everyone’s health. The facts are all there in the free magazine Common Ground available in your local supermarket (certainly Thrifty Foods) every month, for you to make your own judgement. The October issue is very pertinent. I think it is our duty to make nuisances of ourselves by questioning supermarkets as well as the provincial and federal ministries responsible for agri-

culture and fisheries (yes, salmon is affected too) and lobbying our MPs for the GMO labelling. Let’s hope we can become the 61st country that refuses to import GMOs without proper labelling. Valerie Edwards North Saanich

There had been a dramatic change — I’ve told you that a townhouse has been built on property that had contained a row of trees and I moaned and groaned about that but have now decided it is what it is (a quote from my realist daughter).

Island View Park rezoning a wildcard

On top of park plan controversy, commercial plan an issue Tim Collins News Contributor

As if the issues surrounding the future of Island View Beach were not convoluted enough, a new component has been added to the mix. A zoning application was submitted to Central Saanich council in July of 2013 which, if approved, has the potential to fundamentally change the character of at least a part of the park. The application is for a piece of derelict property located at 3215 Island View Road; property that borders Island View Park at its southern most boundary. If granted, the land would move from its current agricultural designation to a residential and C3 (commercial). “There is a large public demand for a tourist commercial type business near the park” says the application’s supporting documents. The proposal goes on to describe a potential coffee shop, and “water/beach related business” such as kayak and paddleboard rentals. There is also provision for seven housing units to be located on the property. According to the application, the plan would be to raise the level of the land on the property, thereby helping to reduce mosquito populations. It also stipulates that buildings on the site would be built on piles. Not surprisingly, the proposed plan has already raised the hackles of some park users. “I don’t think we need

a commercial development on one of the last pristine beaches on the Peninsula,” said Bill Kennedy, one of the area’s opponents to the

plan. “That designation would be permanent and it would fundamentally change what we have now.” Proponents of the

plan were unavailable for comment. The application is currently under review by staff in Central Saanich.

Who’s responsible for floating derelicts? Abandoned vessels still a problem for Saanich Peninsula communities and local harbours Steven Heywood News staff

There’s

aban-

doned sailboat near Nymph Point in North Saanich, run aground between two local mari-

nas. It has been there for some time yet there are apparently no plans to remove it.

This is one of many derelict or abandoned vessels along the coast of southern Vancouver Island and elsewhere. They can be a hazard to navigation, present environmental concerns and can be an eyesore but local governments and industry representatives are frustrated there’s no plan in place to remove them. They are also tired of talking about it without seeing any commitment from senior levels of government to come up with a permanent solution. “The problem is becoming worse,” said Janet Rooke, harbour manager at Tsehum Harbour in North Saanich. She addressed North Saanich District council Nov. 4 during debate of an Islands Trust motion to ask the Union of B.C. Municipalities to petition provincial and federal officials for a solution — one that mainly involves funding. “The problem is mainly due to the demise of a fishery,” Rooke explained. “Boats become a liability when their value is ties to a fishing license.” When the fishing industry is hit hard, she continued, those boats that work the water don’t have a lot of value. That can lead to vessels left to decay or simply abandoned.

Steven Heywood/News staff

A derelict sailboat rests near Nymph Point in North Saanich. Abandonded vessels continue to be a concern for local governments and habour authorities who say little is being done to clean up the shores. “It’s an ongoing problem,” agreed Councillor Elsie McMurphy. “It’s getting worse and nobody is … willing to take up any responsibility. North Saanich has a lot of coastline and the issue here is real.” Mayor Alice Finall said there was a flurry of activity by the federal government some three or four years ago to clean up derelict or abandoned boats along the coastline of southern Vancouver Island but the problem per-

sists. One of the main issues with continuing on with any clean up, she said, is who will pay for it. “There’s no real way to access funds and that leaves the expense to local municipalities,” Finall said. “But this doesn’t address the issue.” North Saanich council was clearly frustrated by this. Coun. Craig Mearns said he isn’t sure whats going to change the status

quo. “Maybe we’re just expressing our dissatisfaction here,” he said. Coun. Conny McBride noted that someone needs to be pushed to take on this responsibility, before the problem grows any larger. Council did vote to support the Islands Trust request to the UBCM and added their own concerns in the hope of sparking a response from the province and federal government. Rooke said there’s nothing new about the issue — or in what she sees in a new provincial manual for addressing problem vessels. “This report is nothing new,” she said, adding it rehashes old information and does not have a permanent funding model. Rooke added she has been invited to a meeting of small craft harbours in Ottawa later this month, which will include an effort to try to secure funding from agencies like Transport Canada, Environment Canada and the Coast Guard. North Saanich council did succeed in getting the topic on last week’s tri-municipal meeting with Central Saanich and the Town of Sidney. The municipalities could only agree to discuss the matter further.

The Peninsula Panthers will be put to the test on Friday night when they go head-tohead against the leagueleading Nanaimo Buccaneers. Although the game is expected to draw a large crowd featuring two of the best teams in the VIJHL, the night is also set to feature First Nation Youth Appreciation night. The Panthers will kick off the two-evening event by attending the Tsawout community tomorrow night (Thursday) to take on a team comprised of First Nation youth in a ball hockey challenge. Helping out the Panthers on the floor will be members of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP and Central Saanich Police Service in a game that is expected to draw a large gather-

get the youth to and from game. “This is going to be an awesome night for First Nations kids,” said Zubersky. “Sometimes First Nations youth don’t always have the opportunity to participate in minor and then junior-level hockey so we want to bring that awareness to them and to the community. The Panthers are all about youth and this fits in well with what we are trying to achieve out here on the Peninsula.” A ceremonial puck drop by Adam Olsen (leader of the Green Party) is set for 7:30 p.m. on Friday. reporter@peninsula newsreview.com

The difference between trying that out once or twice and actually living with a lung disease, is that you can put the straw away. For many others says Diane Gillis, a nurse and co-ordinator for Vancouver Island Better Breathers Clubs, they face a lifetime of challenges to simply get a good intake of oxygen with each breath. The Better Breathers Clubs on the Island — including one on the Saanich Peninsula — meet regularly to discuss treatments, medication, activity, education and support. Not only do the clubs serve people with conditions such as chronic bronchitis, lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, Emphysema, lung cancer, allergies and asthma — they also welcome their families, friends, care givers and anyone else who wants to learn ways of living with shortness of breath. “I always say it’s about better breathing for all,” Gillis said. The club, which is run through the B.C. Lung Association

“I always say it’s about better breathing for all.” – Diane Gillis draws upon resources through Island Health and the local community to offer education on a variety of related topics. For instance, the Monday, Nov. 28 meeting of the Saanich Peninsula Better Breathers will have two fitness and aquatics coordinators from Panorama Recreation in to talk about staying active. Gillis said for people with reduced lung capacity, staying fit and even mobile can be a challenge. “Some people tend to stop moving,” she said, explaining for anyone suffering from a condition that causes shortness of breath, being active can be difficult or even painful. Even walking around the house, something most people take for granted, can be hard for people in this position. “When this happens, people tend to avoid

“It’s about not giving up,” Gillis said. “Knowledge is phenomenal for continued good health.” That’s where the Better Breathers come in. Their meetings, said Gillis, offer information on diet, medication, services and supports for people in need — and the all-important warnings, tips and vaccination details around flu season. Those with chronic lung diseases are particularly susceptible to the flu and pneumonia, Gillis said. “It’s education about things in life that can be helpful,” she added. The Better Breathers Club costs nothing and is open to anyone, thanks to the B.C. Lung Association. On the Saanich Peninsula Gillis said the club meets every fourth Monday of the month at the SHOAL Centre, 10030 Resthaven Drive, Sidney. Meetings starts at 1:30 p.m. Anyone who wishes to become a member can call Kelly at the B.C. Lung Association 1-800665-5864, or come out to one the meetings.

activity and as a result, they become less fit and have even more shortness of breath.” Keeping active, she said, increases lung capacity but getting there must be done in ways that encourage people to keep moving, rather than too much, too fast, forcing people away. And it’s here that Gillis raises an important point of the Better Breathers Club — to encourage people to get up, get out and be active and find their way to club meetings. That, she continued, is for good reason. “Some people tend to stay close to home as a result of having a lung issue. They may no longer partake in activities they used to enjoy and they can become isolated.” The clubs help people to interact with others in the same or similar situation. The interaction, said Gillis, can start with finding out there are other people diagnosed with the same condition and discovering what they are doing to stay active in their community.

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to SIDNEY ON TUESDAY NOV. 26TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly.

Our Vitamins & More Department offers a wide selection of vitamins and minerals, herbal remedies, teas, natural body care and sports nutrition products to complement your active lifestyle. Our knowledgeable staff is here to answer all of your questions and provide the best customer service possible. Come in and see for yourself!

“Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.” Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

NEWS REVIEW

Minister rejects report of ALC demise Tom Fletcher Black Press

VICTORIA — News suggesting the B.C. government is considering dismantling the Agricultural Land Commission are not accurate, says the minister in charge of the government’s core review.

A plan outlined in documents leaked to The Globe and Mail this week is “so secret that I don’t even know about it myself,” Energy Minister Bill Bennett said in an interview. “We’re not even considering blowing up the ALC, or bringing it inside government.”

Bennett said agricultural land commissioners will continue to decide on applications to amend the land reserve, established 40 years ago to protect farmland from development. Bennett refused to comment on the suggestion that the prov-

ince could be divided into two zones with different processes. But he said he is aware of many cases outside the southwestern part of B.C. where obviously unfarmable land remains locked in the reserve. Part of the problem has been a lack of funding to the commission, Bennett said. The current budget adds $4 million to the commission’s budget over three years. “It’s not all their fault, it’s the way the legislation is written, it’s the way their policies have developed,” Bennett said. “All of those things add up to a lot of questionable decisions being made, and certainly not in areas where they have good agricultural land like Richmond and south Vancouver Island and the Fraser Valley and the Okanagan.” Bennett also rejected the suggestion that the Oil and Gas Commission would overrule the ALC on decisions in B.C.’s northeast. The OGC already has some authority on land use, and its role in the review is “tiny,” he said.

Amenities policy allows district leeway Continued from page 5

Should a developer offer onsite amenities or even be faced with “extraordinary servicing costs” or changing economic conditions, the policy allows leeway.

VOTE AND

WIN!

KITCHEN

Councillor Craig Mearns was pleased the policy is flexible in its application. In fact, all of council supported the policy. “It has been a long time coming,” said Mayor Alice Finall. “Even if it’s the amount that it is, I hope that it’s a beginning.”

GRAND PRIZE

$10,000! to transform your space with natural gas...

The District created its amenities policy in the wake on increased development demand. The municipality had considered creating local development cost charges, but instead went with the amenities plan. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com
