Have your say on downtown Sidney’s revitalization task force conducting research surveys Steven Heywood News staff
For each of the 50 days since the announcement of the Mayor’s Task Force on downtown revitalization, the group has generated one idea or strategy that will be debated by the town council. Now they’ll face similar scrutiny from the public. Mayor Larry Cross has issued a call for input as the task force embarks on a series of research surveys of business owners, shoppers, residents and downtown business owners. The task force, he says, is looking for people’s top three ideas on what might have a positive impact on Beacon Avenue and all of downtown. “I am very pleased by the progress the Task Force has been able to achieve in a relatively short period of time,” Cross stated in a media release. “Their focus and commitment to making Sidney’s downtown the best it can be is matched equally by the enthusiasm and positive energy they bring to the table each and every week. “But we can’t do it alone, and as part of our mandate, we need to hear from all of the stakeholders on their ideas for downtown revitalization.” The survey work is expected to be done in June or July and the task force is asking for people’s input right now. People can make their comments and suggestions and email mayorstaskforce@sidney.ca, drop off hand-written submissions at the town hall or at the Sidney Business Improvement Association office (Visitor Info. Centre on Beacon Avenue). People can also use the SidneySays portal at www.sidney.ca. While some of the ideas generated by the task force are, according to the Town, in the works through the Town, the SBIA or Community Development Committee, others will require the decision of the town council. One of those has been the allocation of $3,500 to produce a community events calendar with the SBIA. Cross also received assent from council to use $10,000 out of the Town’s economic development fund to support task force recommendations.

nis Association named Panaorama the host of the Freedom 55 Financial Women’s ITF Tennis Tournament. Eric Knoester, Panorama’s director of racquet sports, says this will be the first time since 2001 an ITF event has come to Greater Victoria — and the first one in western Canada since 2007. “It’s a coup for Panorama,” he said. “And it’s a chance for our players to see a higher level of tennis.”
By May 29, Knoester said organizers will know which of the women’s tennis players, ranked between 1,500 and 250th in the world, will be registered for the tournament. With a $10,000 purse, Knoester said the tournament will attract up-andcomers in the women’s professional ranks, largely from North America. Please see: Watch the action for free, page 9

Other information includes hunter education of the different game available in the province, no hunting or shooting areas and resource management of the eight regions in B.C. that make up one of the most diverse hunting grounds in the west. “The Fish and Wildlife Branch is committed to providing sustainable hunting opportunities for the province and encouraging people to go out there and enjoy the outdoors,” said
government policy and regulations analyst Stephen MacIver. “B.C. has more big game species than any other jurisdiction in North America and provides some of the best hunting opportunities in the world.” The guide is effective July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2016 for the rising number of local and tourist hunters setting their sights on the prized moose, elk, deer, sheep and goats that have helped buoy the number of hunters from approximately 80,000 in 2003 to 100,000 today. With more residents taking the hunter safety training, MacIver projects that number will continue to increase, making the need for the

SIDNEY — For tales of bareback mishaps, praying dogs and how not to hide a wedding cake, join speaker, dog trainer and author, Suzanne Clothier at the Mary Winspear Centre next month. On Friday, June 13 from 7 to 9 p.m., Clothier will fill the evening with stories featuring both the challenges and rewards of living with animals. Clothier teaches seminars on topics including puppy raising, dog training, behaviour and temperament assessments. Her comedic timing and unusual perspectives on animal-human interactions will have you wishing you could take her home with you. Underlying the humour and pure joy of Clothier’s world is a felt sense of connection. “Connection is about two minds working together. If the connection is not there between you and your [animal], you will be unable to direct him, help him or really train him,” said Clothier. Cost for the evening is $25 with $5 from every ticket sold donated to Broken Promises Animal Rescue. Tickets are available at Your Pet Pals, Pets West or through the Mary Winspear Centre (www. marywinspear.ca or 250-656-0275). — Submitted
SIDNEY — The Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live will roar through communities across Victoria in the annual poker ride to raise funds to support prostate cancer research and education in our community. Over the last four years the event, organized by a dedicated group of community volunteers in partnership with The Prostate Centre, has raised more than $357,000. This year’s goal is to have 500 riders raise $85,000. The Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live on Sunday, June 1 starts with breakfast at Fountain Tire in Langford at 7:30 a.m. and ends with lunch and closing ceremonies at Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney at 1 p.m. The event promises to bring to light that 1 in 7 men are diagnosed with prostate cancer, making it the number one cancer threat to the lives and health of the men we know and love. “Most men don’t want to talk about prostate cancer even though the statistics about the disease are startling,” said Kevin Worth, event chair. “That’s one of the many reasons why we have the ride, to raise the profile of prostate cancer and to ensure the men in our community have the support services they need but also help fund local researchers find a cure for this disease that is affecting far too many of us.” — Black Press

Kardos added there will also be a flyby with vintage aircraft. “The response to the Flight Path has almost been overwhelming for us,” she said. “It does have something for everyone.” New signs have gone up along the trail recently, she added. Those include descriptions of the airport today and historical use of the site, from a military air camp and agricultural land to the terminal building and creek restoration work.

Revitalize public input
T
aking advantage of opportunities to speak up about changes coming to downtown Sidney is one of the only ways to ensure that change works. To not say anything when the chance comes up, is to relegate the decisions on how Beacon Avenue and downtown Sidney will take shape to other people. If you’re comfortable with that, fine. If not, great — there are going to be plenty of opportunities to have input on the work being done by the Mayor’s Task Force on downtown revitalization. Throughout June and July, the task force plans on conducting a series of surveys. They’ll ask businesses and shoppers about the major issues in town. Mayor Larry Cross says this will give the task force members enough data to help shape their policies and plans. Having that kind of information can make a good idea great, or ensure that another idea won’t happen (or cost tax dollars) if it’s just not needed. There’s also every indication that folks aren’t shy when it comes to speaking their mind. It’s just the timing that concerns us. We’ve heard comments - good and bad about the Town’s new downtown benches and planters. If people had concerns, they should have been raised when the municipality was showing off its choices of street furniture weeks ago. At the time, most comments were positive and the Town went ahead. Criticisms made now is an example of an opportunity lost. Today, there’s another opportunity being offered. Proposed changes to downtown signs, street markings and even customer service are in the works and the people asking these questions are wanting feedback, alternate ideas and even suggestions to make their concepts better. Cross says he’s hoping people will help the municipality, the task force and Sidney Business Improvement Association make the Town one of the prettiest in the west. Will you step up to help your community reach that goal?

Readers respond: Teacher job action No strikes for teachers Students from a different, older generation can recall how great school was. There were no paid school boards — the teachers ran the schools. Strikes were unheard of. I remember being in classes, where we had five or six rows
across and at least six or seven students in each row. So that would make over thirty-plus in a class. We never had counsellors or depressed kids and we also had to behave.

The album, Hippopotamus’, will be available for the first time at SIDFEST II. “I’m excited about this one,” said Carson Cleaver, the band’s singer and guitarist. “Last year was our first official gig as a band and I’d never really fronted a band before, so this show will be a lot of fun. We’ll have a year under our belt and a set that we’re comfortable with.”

Insurance companies are changing the way they do business all the time. Just when we think we have a handle on how they want things done, they come out with a program that takes a while to get used to. Their latest program involves contracts with certain shops to be their “DRF” — or Direct Repair Facility. All of the private carriers have them. We are on them. Not all, but some. This doesn’t mean you cannot bring your car to us to be repaired. It just means that when you are setting up the claim on the phone, you have to tell the adjuster that you would like your vehicle to come to one of our stores. The adjuster may say: “well sir/madam, we cannot guarantee the work from that store as they are not on our DRP list.” Let me tell you something. We guarantee all of our work and have done so since we started here 15 years ago.
ICBC specifically has it written into their contract that we provide a lifetime warrantee on all of our repairs. It doesn’t get much simpler than that. So if you are talking to your adjuster about repairing your vehicle, tell them that they can try and direct you anywhere they like but, ultimately, the decision is yours on where you would like your vehicle taken to be repaired. You pay your insurance premiums so they can have a job that pays them. You are the customer. Don’t let someone on the phone, sitting somewhere that may not even be in this province, try and dictate to you — the customer — where you can and cannot take your vehicle. In the words of the most interesting man in the world, “I don’t always rant this early in the morning, but when I do, it usually involves insurance companies.”

He added the event could draw players from around the world. “It will give our local tennis players the chance to compete against others from around the world,” Knoester said, adding Tennis Canada granted the organizers a wildcard spot for a Victoria-area player. That player will be announced later this this week.
Unranked players are expected to compete in the qualifying rounds, Knoester said. Judges, provided by Tennis Canada, will seed them accordingly. ITF-rated umpires and other officials are also being provided by Tennis Canada. The tournament is part of an effort to increase international tournaments hosted in Canada, Knoester said, help-
ing expose Canadian athletes to better competition. He said two Canadian women, ranked in the 800-900 range, have already confirmed they’ll be at Panorama. Other ranked players coming to North Saanich won’t be announced until after the May 29 deadline. People wishing to watch the action can do so for free. The tennis viewing area will be open to the public during the
qualifying rounds, Knoester said. In the semis and finals, seating for around 300 will be provided court side. Knoester said up to 30 volunteers from the local tennis community will be helping at the event. The Freedom 55 Financial Victoria Women’s ITF event is expected to draw up to 64 singles and doubles players from around the world.
