Task force report gets mixed review Steven Heywood News staff

Sidney’s task force on downtown revitalization has issued 16 recommendations to town council but a citizen’s watchdog group says there are few direct benefits on that list to help businesses along Beacon Avenue. Mayor Larry Cross’s downtown revitalization task force compiled a list of 79 ideas and suggestions since its creation back in April of this year. Cross

said he was looking to the task force members to come up with ideas that the Town could implement right away. A staff report says those items were ranked based on whether they could be put in place immediately, or if they were simply not feasible. They were also ranked on level of importance and the 16 with the best rank were advanced to Monday’s council meeting. The recommendations fall into categories such as signage,

financial and development policies and miscellaneous. Of the 16, six are already in place or being acted upon by the Town and many of the other recommendations — including business tax relief — were carefully worded to allow council to consider the impact on their bottom line. “I don’t want to approve this,” said Councillor Mervyn LougherGoodey Monday night at a regular council meeting. “There are tax implications involved and it

all needs more discussion.” “Why should the people of Sidney support businesses that are going to fail?” he asked regarding his concern that empty storefronts were brought about by bad business planning and that any reduction in business taxes would hit the Town’s resident tax base. Lougher-Goodey called the task force report “a mixed bag.” PLEASE SEE: Town will only consider, page 5

Peninsula News in brief Land to be left alone

SIDNEY — Town council will leave the Seaport East lands capped under its current layer of asphalt to contain comtaminants revealed during tests earlier this year. The Town was looking to redevelop the property under an agreement with the Marker Group, when the contamination was discovered. Council called off the plan and had staff look into their liability and cleanup issues. Staff recommended the site remain as-is (essentially capped) and that the Town consider remediation in conjunction with future redevelopment of the property. — News staff

New helicopter hangar nearly done Steven Heywood News staff

On Monday, June 30, 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron officially takes ownership of their new, $105 million hangar and administration building at the Victoria International Airport. That, however, is only just the beginning of their relocation from their older buildings. Major Don Philip, acting deputy commanding officer and a Sea King helicopter pilot, says it will take six to eight months to move everything — and everybody — from seven buildings into just one. It must be accomplished, he said, while maintaining operational status — meaning their crews must still train and be ready for missions even while their lockers are going from one place to another. Squadron leaders and Department of National Defense staff accompanied the Peninsula News Review on a recent tour of the 20,000 square meter facility. Major

Steven Heywood/News staff

The main entrance of the new home of the 443 Maritime Helicopter Squadron. Donald Leblanc, the Squadron’s liaison with Defence Construction Canada (the main contractors overseeing companies like Knappett and Stantec), a reservist and pilot, said the main hangar — at 13,000 square meters — is larger than the ice surface at Victoria’s Save-On-Foods Centre. It can hold the unit’s current compliment of six Sea King helicopters and the nine new Sikorsky Cyclone choppers that are on order with Public Works Canada. The new hangar and ramp area outside provide the Squadron with added capa-

bilities, such as having their own fuel station to keep the helicopters ready to fly. It also means the crews won’t use as much tarmac space at the airport. Construction of the building took three years and the driving in of 1,200 pilings to make it a post-disaster capable structure. Philip noted the building has its own, selfcontained ‘brain’ — boilers, electrical systems and more — and is able to collect its own water waste and runoff. Jim Antonissen with Defence Construction Canada added there are high

security measures throughout the hanger, advanced fire suppression systems and security cameras all around the exterior. He said the project will be on budget. The ground floor contains two hangars and the maintenance operations for the Squadron. The second floor will be home to maintenance administration as well as unit operations personnel. Here is where the outside activities around the building will be monitored. The third floor is the command centre and where the air crews will receive their daily briefings and mission orders. There’s also a doctor’s office for visits every second week, a gym for personnel to maintain fitness or rehab injuries and, of course, a mess hall for unit functions. Leblanc said the mess will be where much of the Squadron’s history will be displayed. 443 Squadron has been operating on the Island for 25 years — 2014 is their

quarter-century anniversary. Philip said they employ up to 250 people right now and could grow to as many as 300 in their new facility. When the official handover takes place on Monday, Antonissen said all parties will conduct a thorough walkthrough of the building and discuss any deficiencies discovered. Those will be corrected afterwards. Leblanc said once the move begins, command and administration will be the first to go, ensuring services such as payroll are established quickly and at the same time, flight crews maintain a state of 24-hour readiness. The old Squadron buildings will either be removed or, in the case of the hangar itself, be re-used by other airport tenants. An effort was made to save the Squadron’s historic administration building, but citing age and high asbestos levels, the Victoria Airport Authority (who will retain its ownership) had decided to tear it down.

Terry Fox Run needs coordinator Devon MacKenzie News staff

The British Columbia and Yukon chapter of the Terry Fox Foundation is looking for a new run coordinator for the annual event that takes place in Central Saanich. According to Donna White, the Provincial Director for the Foundation, the community has been organizing a run almost every year since 1986. “Since 2005 we had the same organizer but she stepped down after last year’s run and we’ve been looking for a new coordinator since,” White explained. The run in Central Saanich serves as the main Terry Fox Run for the Saanich Peninsula. Only two other main runs take place in the Greater Victoria area on Sept. 14 — one on the Westshore and one in Victoria. “It would be such a shame for the people of Central Saanich and the Peninsula to miss out on the opportunity to keep Terry’s legacy alive,” she said. White said during the summer, coordinating the event that takes place in early fall requires

It’s a really exciting day for us,” she said.

This year marks the the 34th anniversary of Fox’s Marathon of Hope which he started in 1980 to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. So far the event has raised over $650 million in Fox’s name for cancer research worldwide. “There are close to 800 run events that will take place across the country on Sept. 14 and around 9,000 schools that will take place during the month of September,” White said. “Even though we call ourselves the Terry Fox Run, it’s not necessarily about the running. It’s about community and having people come out together to remember Terry and honour his dream to find a cure for cancer.” The best part is, White continued, is that there are no registration fees or minimum pledges involved with the Run. “That means everybody has an opportunity to come out and be a part of the day,” she said.

Cross said an ongoing survey of businesses and property owners in the downtown could have an impact on the task force recommendations and even provide new ideas. That survey is under way, following the completion of a shoppers survey that collected around 800 responses over the last couple of weeks. Cross said the data collected will give the Town and business groups information for the future and for long-term planning. A council majority supported the task force recommendations, citing the cautious wording of the report. Chief Administrative Officer Randy Humble added some issues will require clear direction from council on how staff should proceed, followed by additional resolutions to put the recommendations into motion. “I see no reason to hold up the Mayor’s Task Force unnecessarily,” said Coun. Steve Price, noting staff outline the need for more study on some items in the report. “There are no tax increases, so there’s no reason to hold this up.” Council, in a 5-2 vote, approved the 16 recommendations for implementation.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack. Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack. Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent. But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies. The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day. This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors. As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine! I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries. Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal. I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

OUR VIEW

Task force job not yet done T

he strong effort made by Sidney’s mayoral task force on downtown revitilization cannot be denied but their top 16 recommendations accepted by town council Monday night will continue to get mixed reviews at best. Taking any talk of making Beacon Avenue a two-way street off the table (this council has stated it is not going to go for that), signage was a high priority for this task force and a citizen watchdog group. Signs that direct people into the downtown core have been deemed essential by most of the dogs in this fight and plans for improvements have been on the Town’s books for more than a year. Of course, proponents of the two-way street would say once the signs get people here, the one-way system drives them out — but again, that’s not on the agenda. From signage plans, the report’s recommendations become more, well, iffy. Council was clear Monday that ideas for reduced business tax rates, commercial incentives and even an infrared pedestrian counter are points for further debate and are not written in stone. The remaining recommendations are items the Town has had in the works prior to the task force being formed (street line painting, Port Sidney Marina discussions, as well as a focus on downtown higher density development and incentives). On the surface, then, it appears the task force report is an endorsement of work the Town has already done. That raises more questions in this, an election year. If that’s the case, there’s little that’s new here for local businesses and Councillor Tim Chad is right to seek additional consultation on these recommendations. All is not lost, however. The prolific task force came up with 63 additional ideas that hold great potential. They, like the top 16, will require community and business buy-in and a lot of long-term planning to succeed. If the energy of this task force is any indication, that should not be a problem.

Question

of the week

YOUR VIEW

Voters will remember pipeline approval The very recent decision by the federal government approving the Enbridge Pipeline that will transport bitumin, flies in the face of the majority of British Columbians that are opposed to this project. Apparently, Stephen Harper and his government have chosen to ignore the wishes of many to satisfy the few. Hopefully, Canadian voters will remember this arrogant action the next time they cast their votes. Rod Chilton Saanichton

Common sense prevails Councilor (Dunstan) Browne now believes there is no need for strategic plans, minimum lot sizes, or anything other than his own ‘common sense’ is necessary to determine what gets built where in North Saanich. No doubt that’s the ‘common sense’ that tells us all that the Earth is flat and that the Sun orbits the Earth. All one has to do now is let property deteriorate until Mr. Browne deems it be an eyesore and then build. Unbelievable. What is more unbelievable is that three other councilors agree with this approach to municipal planning. I hope that common sense will prevail at the November elections and that Mr. Browne is defeated should he run. Bert Slater North Saanich

Does Canada Day give you a sense of national pride? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

No common sense Spot zoning is not common sense. The North Saanich Official Community Plan and and Zoning Bylaws are the product of many years of consultations between our local government and our community. They are our laws. Councillor Browne and his fellow Councillors Daly, McBride, and Mearns show an ongoing and increasingly alarming disdain for these laws. We need and deserve stability in our neighbourhoods, but it is undermined by these four councillors encouraging and permitting subdivisions on such flimsy grounds. The reasoning would be laughable were the result not so destructive. Patrick Godfrey North Saanich

Gateway a big issue With respect to the recent proposal for the 10 acre gateway proposal at the south-west corner of Beacon Avenue and the highway, I strongly suggest a re-think. A commercial centre, as discussed, at this site is temptation indeed for YYJ and the Town as a real estate play but is the wrong use. The error reaches beyond just more competition for Town of Sidney’s main street. A commercial development at this site would

Last Week

we asked you:

become an instrument that will eventually destroy the charm of the Town. It would also not solve the traffic challenge at this intersection. Beacon Ave. is a traditional and well proven main street model with anchors at either end. The past eight years of recession and the anticipated increased competition from Jesken, Sandown and others makes the challenge to keep Beacon Ave. commercially fresh, vibrant and vital one that requires energy and initiative but it will succeed. Yet another competing commercial Gateway Centre developmentwould harm these efforts. This site offers a mutually beneficial connection between the Town of Sidney and the 40,000 cars per day that run up and down the highway. In 1991 the transportation ministry served notice of expropriation with a plan for a grade-separated interchange. Thankfully for the health of our community this planning overkill was stopped. A far sounder solution that is a fraction of the cost is an “at grade” interchange or roundabout.

At the same time find the efforts of the SOS worthy of serious public exposure. The issue being tackled here is much bigger than local politics. Richard Holmes North Saanich

Roost crowing about big plans on the farm Farm operations to be consolidated into ‘the castle’ Steven Heywood News staff

A trip by Hamish Crawford and his wife Bonnie to Napa, California four years ago has led to big plans to redevelop his farm property and The Roost Bakery in North Saanich. The pair visited the V Sattui winery where its owner had built a stone castle — its rocks and craftsmen all brought to California from Europe. That building, says Dallas Bohl, Hamish’s sonin-law who runs The Roost, sparked plans for a Scottish Baronial structure that most people have simply termed ‘the castle’. The estimated $1 millionplus project is approximately 11,000 square feet with a courtyard in the middle of a twostorey, square structure. The building will accommodate much of the farm’s current operations — a wine cellar, restaurant, tasting room and wood brick oven and create space for a dungeon, equipment storage and 10 farm stay rooms. The Roost Bakery will remain where it is. About a year ago, said Bohl, the owners went to the Agricultural Land Commission to clear the design and their plans to enhance their farm activities. “We were told by the ALC that we were doing too much farming,” he said, adding ALC staff were at first reluctant to allow it without applications for nonfarm use permits. Bohl said that seemed to go against what the board members on the ALC were encouraging in the way of value-added development of farm operations, so they got their lawyer involved. “We did make an application for a nonfarm use permit but we withdrew it,” Bohl explained. “It felt wrong

The farm has to be the star here.” Bohl said he sees the project as a hub for North Saanich’s farming activity — a place

to send a message that value-added farming was not necessarily what the ALC wanted.” In the end, their plans were deemed pre-approved farm use. While the ALC, he said, does not issue permits or give projects a green light, they are there in case something goes wrong. The application for a development permit has since gone before North Saanich district council. Mayor Alice Finall says the building falls within the ALC framework and guidelines — meaning council’s only say in the matter is on the project’s form and character, as well as traffic impacts. With a new main access planned for along McTavish Road, the B.C. transportation ministry is reviewing any issues. “Apart from that,” she said, “for this type of development permit, if it adheres to the guidelines, we cannot do much.” That said, she added it’s an interesting

Cello and piano duo featured at Eine Kleine Summer Music this weekend CENTRAL SAANICH — Lately there is a buzz of excitement surrounding the critically acclaimed Canadian cellist Ariel Barnes. In recent years he has appeared in recital in New York, Toronto, Ottawa, Halifax, Quebec City, Vancouver, San Francisco and Guadalajara, Mexico.

They are Miata mates for life Despite the relatively early call time, a group of almost 100 Mazda Miata/MX-5 drivers/passengers gathers for the morning’s meeting. The weather is looking favourable even though the a.m. envelops the crowd with its chilliness. It’s not raining though. That’s a good sign. Tour organizer and former Trillium Miata Club president, Gary Svoboda, talks about the day’s journey, addresses some basic housekeeping rules, makes some jokes and engages in witty banter with a group of excited Miata enthusiasts. Everyone is ready to hit the roads of Vermont in their tiny, drop top, two-doors. Everything from first generations Miatas, to the latest and greatest rear-wheel drive roadsters line the gravel parking lot of our home base, also known as the Stowehof Inn. Stowe, VT’s claim to fame is as a ski destination. Currently, its claim to fame is the 46 Mazdas that drove in from Ontario and are congregating for their annual tour. Each May long weekend, a group of club members look forward to the event. It’s been going for over 20 years and hasn’t disappointed. The crowd gets rowdier by the minute so go-time is just around the corner. The meeting wraps up; we branch into our respective groups and fire up the engines. As honorary members for the event, my co-pilot – aka my mother

Zsuzsanna Straub – and I get behind the wheel of our MX-5. Within moments, we’re topless. The car. Not us! Seven vehicles comprise a group, including a leader and a sweeper. We’re comfortably nestled in the bosom of the pack. Our job is to enjoy ourselves, as well as give the MX-5 a little bit of room to romp free. It’s hard not to smile on the undulating roads of Vermont, which are lined with trees, houses, fields and topped off with a bovine scent! Then there is what is called “The Notch.” A mountain road where emaciated limbs of indigenous trees

look like they’re reaching out and trying to touch the cars. Boulders are scattered and the path is paved around it. The intermittent obstacles would likely be the outcome of two Greek gods having a rock fight. You would have to have superhuman strength to move them. The sinuous and slender road is a hoot to drive through especially with no one in front of you. The occasional crackling on the CB radios frequently is overpowered by instructions from the leader. Like a mother duck summoning her young, we followed in order. We stuck together and took in some breathtaking scenery of New

England. Scenery aside, what was the most interesting to breathe in was the enthusiasm and energy of the Miata owners. Liz Burns has “Miatatude” stickered across her windshield. Miata earrings dangle from her ears as she professes her love of her emerald beauty. Another owner decided to turn his conventional doors into ones that open up not out. At breakfast, lunch and dinner, they regale each other with stories of other events they’ve been on. Outbursts of laughter perk up the ears of bystanders; making them wish they were at that table reliving the memories. The camaraderie of those young and young at heart is undisputable. Regardless of background, profession, or preference in exterior colour, few vehicles in the world bring people together as strongly as Mazda’s MX-5. Liz was one of the first members of the Trillium Miata Club. She expected to join a group of Miata owners and drive with them on weekends. Liz says she “didn’t expect to make friends for 25 years” but she did.

You need not be a Formula 1 fan to enjoy this computer-generated film about the Red Bull Ring, the location for this coming weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix. It features the man from today’s Driveway cover story – four-time World Champion Sebastian Vettel and Infiniti-Red Bull Racing’s young gun Daniel Ricciardo racing around the track. Driving RB10s, Daniel and Sebastian explain the track’s unique characteristics as they dual around the 4.3

km circuit. As the Red Bull racers contend with changing weather conditions, they explain the circuit’s elevation changes, the four best overtaking opportunities, the track’s nine corners and the four high-speed stretches. In certain sections of the circuit, Sebastian’s RB10 becomes transparent, showing the intricate inner details of his 2014 racecar. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, June 27, 2014

DrivewayBC.ca

Celebrating with a Spyder French Open winner, Maria Sharapova, was driven to the glamorous Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) Pre-Wimbledon Party in the Porsche 918 Spyder – the Stuttgart marque’s fastest, most powerful production car to date, and one of the lowest-emitters of CO2 of any class of car. Fresh from his drive in the Le Mans 24 Hours race, Sharapova’s chauffeur for the night was Porsche factory ‘works’ driver, Mark Webber, complete in smart chauffeur attire. The 918 Spyder has a mid-mounted 4.6-litre V8 race engine coupled to two electric motors with lithium-ion batteries. It is a remarkable plug-in hybrid super

sports car that can reach a top speed of 344 km/h, sprint from zero to 100km/h in 2.5 seconds, and yet at 72 g/km (70 g/km with the lightweight Weissach Package) produces so little CO2 that it is exempt from the London Congestion Charge. It has a total power output of 887 hp and holds the current lap record for a production car at the famous Nürburgring race circuit of just 6 minutes 57 seconds. Despite all that performance, its plug-in hybrid technology means a low fuel consumption of 3.0 L/100kms is possible.

SELLER’S TIP | Talk to your agent about how they plan to market your home

Real estate agents’ skill set ever expanding Technology allows Realtors various ways to market a home Jennifer Blythe News contributor

Time was, a Realtor’s job was to identify potential homes for clients then guide them through the myriad legal details surrounding the buying and selling of property. Those roles are still there, but technology and clients’ expectations have brought changes that have reshaped the Realtor’s career. “The role of the Realtor has changed, especially in the last 10 or 15 years,” says Tim Ayres, president of the Victoria Real Estate Board. He notes that while much of the Realtor’s job had been information gathering for home shoppers, the Internet now allows people to do much of that legwork themselves. Today, a Realtor’s value is not only in how well-versed they are on the legal ins and outs of home buying and selling, but also in their marketing skills and ability to stay wellinformed about the community in which they’re selling. Examples are trends in the marketplace, demographics, schools, transportation issues, and development plans. Fortunately, Greater Victoria is small enough that Realtors can familiarize themselves quite easily with neighbourhoods from Sooke to Sidney. But Ayres suggests Realtors often find success in focusing on a particular part of the region. This diverse knowledge base is all the more important when working with clients from outside the region, such as those relocating with the military or RCMP, or retirees seeking the promise of mild winters. While the Internet has changed

Getting into the real estate market involves dedication and hard work, not unlike other professions. the Realtor’s role, it’s also dramatically changed the way they do business. Realtors selling a property should be savvy to today’s technology, using video, photography and floor plans to provide prospective buyers with a full picture of a property, for example. “An online presence is key,” Ayres says. “Make sure what you’re doing (to market a property) is what people want to see.” Homes can be viewed via iPad,

prices negotiated by text and contracts reviewed via smart phone. At the same time, there’s a lot to be said for a Realtor’s ability to connect with clients on a personal level. Patrick Skillings has been a Realtor for 30 years, and believes in the time-honoured approach of oneon-one contact with clients, and of being genuinely interested in those he meets – as people, not only the means to a potential sale, he says. While it takes work, maintaining

contact with clients in the years following a home sale or purchase also helps keep connections active and promote word-of-mouth advertising. Skillings points out, for example, that he recently worked with a client he’d helped to buy a home almost three decades earlier. “Clients like the fact that we communicate on a variety of different levels, not just about a particular piece of property,” he says. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

winners never let the Brixes back into the match after winning the first four games in the first set. “We’ve always had tough matches against them,” Osborne said. “We know their game fairly well. Peter’s a world-class badminton player with a great smash, so we tried to stay away from the overhands, and we tried to keep Damaris running.” The Brixes have won the tournament five times previous, but as Peter noted, “the top four teams on any given day can win it.” Sunday’s other finals saw Wendy Whibley and Lauren Banerd defeat Sue Grandmaison and Sajan Joseph in the B division. Sandi Johnson and Mike Carey took the C event. — Black Press
