Steve Price and Steve Duck seek to replace outgoing mayor Larry Cross Steven Heywood News staff

Two people have announced their intent to seek the office of the mayor now that the incumbent has announced he will not seek re-election in November. Town councillor Steve Price and Sidney businessman Steve Duck say they will seek the mayor’s chair in the 2014 municipal election. Larry Cross, the current mayor, announced earlier this month that he will not seek re-election after three terms on council. Cross cited health concerns and a desire to spend time with family as reasons for ending his political career. Price has been on council for six years, or two terms of office. He has received the endorsement and support for his bid for mayor from Cross and councillors Marilyn Loveless, Mervyn Lougher-Goodey, Kenny Podmore and Melissa Hailey. “I am honoured and humbled to have so much support this early in the campaign,” said Price in a media release on Aug. 21. Price said he will be seeking the job in the fall and basing his campaign on the strong footing established by the council over the last six years. Steve Price Price added he supports the ongoing work of the Mayor’s Task Force on downtown revitalization, established this year by Cross. Price is also a strong proponent of a new pedestrian overpass of Highway 17 near Beacon Avenue. Duck, the owner of Tides Group, a destination marketing and events planning business in Sidney, announced his bid on Aug. 20. He is encouraging residents of Sidney to be active in this fall’s municipal election. • Inside: A quick look “Please do not lose sight Steve Duck at the start of the of the importance of the mayoral campaigns of next three months to find the right seven people the first two vying for to lead our Town’s future,” he stated in a media Sidney’s mayor’s job. release.

SIDNEY — The Peninsula Players are seeking talented actors, singers and dancers for their production of A Christmas Carol - the Panto by Adrian Barradell and directed by Gerald Schieven. This production combines the classic Dickens tale (narrated by Dickens himself!) with the hilarious antics of an old-fashioned panto: villains, heroes, a dame, slapstick, corny jokes, singalongs (You’re a Mean One, Mr. Scrooge) and more. Auditions are being held at the Mary Winspear Centre Sept. 9, 13 and 14. Email or message the directo at gh_ms@yahoo.com for details.

Corrections

• In the Homefinder section in the Aug. 15 edition of the Peninsula News Review, Steven Klipper, a real estate agent in Sidney, was incorrectly described as working at Royal Le Page By the Sea in Sidney when he really works at Holmes Realty. The News Review apologizes for the error. • In an Aug. 20 article on MLA Gary Holman and affordable housing, a reference was made to hiring a consultant. In fact, the CRD has already agreed to act in that capacity. The PNR regrets the error. — Editor

Sidney Town Councillor Steve Price is making a bid for the mayor’s chair this fall.

2014 Municipal election

Price tagged for mayoral run Steven Heywood News staff

Steve Price is calling for a clean, positive election campaign without any dirty politics played by his opponents and form what he termed this week as ‘fringe elements’. Price was referring to the Save Our Sidney (SOS) group that formed earlier this year to act as self-proclaimed watchdogs of council when it comes to business and economic development in the downtown core. SOS also has a strong contingent of people who believe the incumbents are on the wrong side of the one-way and two-way traffic debate on Beacon Avenue. Price is one of two people to announce their intent to run for mayor of the Town of Sidney in the wake of current Mayor Larry Cross recently announcing he won’t seek a third term. The other is Steve Duck, a local businessman who has been heavily involved with SOS. Price says he credits SOS for staying on message and continuing to call for Beacon Avenue to return to a two-way traffic configuration. But he said more recent public surveys have shown a majority of residents

want the main street to stay as-is. “If things are working well, you don’t dismantle it,” he said. That’s part of Price’s main message at this early stage of the 2014 municipal election campaign in Sidney. With the endorsement and support of Cross and four of the five incumbent councillors, Price said he’s running to continue the work already being done by the council. “It has been in my mind for a while (to run),” Price said. “But I didn’t want to run against Larry.” Now that Cross will not seek the job, Price said he wants it to continue council’s work on such issues as the pedestrian overpass of Highway 17 and the Mayor’s Task Force on Downtown Revitalization. Price said he is taking recent comments of his being a clone of Larry Cross as a compliment. “I’ve worked with Larry and he’s been a good mentor. But I’ve always been my own person.” Price said he plans to further the work of the council in areas such as economic development, transportation, Beacon Wharf upgrades and more. Please see: Price seeking a leadership, page 4

Economic growth a key focus Continued from page 1

Duck, who has been actively involved in the creation of a new business improvement association in Sidney’s downtown, is also a supporter and member of Save Our Sidney (SOS). This group has been opposed to current council’s handling of downtown traffic issues, most notably their position that Beacon Avenue must return to a twoway traffic configuration. Current council has stated it will not change the current mixed-one way and two

way pattern of the main street. Duck stated his focus will be on economic growth, affordable housing development, culture and recreation. “I have demonstrated my commitment to Sidney as the place to live and the destination to come to,” he said. Nomination forms for the 2014 municipal election are now available at the Town of Sidney office. The election takes place Nov. 15. Watch the Peninsula News Review for detailed election coverage.

Group, an event coordination and marketing company in Sidney, Duck admits he enters the race without direct political experience but says he has the vision and expertise in running a business and various non-profit organizations that will translate into being a good local representative. “For the past three years I have attended many council meetings and have observed how council has responded to issues,” Duck said. “I had contemplated running for council in the past but at that time, I felt there wasn’t a chance to supplant the existing councillors.” He said the decision of incumbent Mayor Larry Cross to not seek re-election in the fall opens those doors. “There’s potentially an underlying feel or need for change or for different views,” he continued. “That has given me a sense of an opportunity to bring about a new vision for Sidney.” That vision, he said, includes expanding

most people are satisfied with how the Town is today. “We all have ideas for the future and commitment to sustainability and growth of Sidney.” To that end, Duck said he thinks this November could see a wholesale changing of the guard on council. “Yes, with the quantity and quality of candidates (expected to be nominated), the incumbent councillors will have a challenge ahead of them.” Duck said he plans to hit the streets this fall during the campaign, talk to people and introduce himself.

Planning on running? Steven Heywood/News staff

Steve Duck, seen early in the early days of the formation of the Sidney Business Improvement Association, is running for mayor in November. Sidney’s role as the gateway to Vancouver Island and finding ways to blend more opportunities for all age groups in the community. He said the Town should not necessarily be directed by a single age demographic and

there should be more opportunities for business operators. He also hopes to work towards more affordable housing options for young people and families who have jobs in Sidney. That’s not to dis-

count the role that seniors have to play in Sidney, he added. “Seniors represent a wealth of knowledge with lots of ideas and thoughts on the Town’s future,” he replied. Duck added he doesn’t want to suggest

Nomination packages are now available at all three Saanich Peninsula municipalities for candidates in the November 15, 2014 election. Nominations, while available now, must be submitted between Sept. 30 and Oct 10 for people to be eligible to run.

“I’m proud of what I’ve accomplished in areas like the Lions Food Bank, which is making a difference thanks to this council’s hard work.” He said it’s important to him

to have a council that helps make people’s lives better. “I want to leave the Town better than how we found it, to build on past successes.” Part of that success, he continued, is the civil tone

of council and local politics in general. He said it’s important to be able to work with everyone, share ideas and try to pick the best ones for the community. As for the mayor’s job, Price

said it’s an important leadership role but is only one vote on council. Yet, Price said he’s ready for the change. “Any organization I’ve ever joined, I’ve always ended up running it.”

OUR VIEW

Keep a civil tongue

civil tone in local politics this fall is what the two announced candidates for mayor in the Town of Sidney agree on. Both Steve Price and Steve Duck are hopeful for a civil discource come October and November — and it’s something all candidates should be trying to achieve throughout the campaign. That is not to say, however, that people shouldn’t disagree or hold contrary opinions or ideas on the future of thier community. No one wants There’s nothing cookie-cutter councillors wrong with who show up at disagreeing with regular meetings and only agree someone with each other. For the most part, none of the Saanich Peninsula councils are like that, but Sidney and to a degree Central Saanich are closer to that than North Saanich (which is completely different — and that’s an understatement). There’s also an unwritten rule that once a council makes a decision, it moves ahead as a united front with no dissent. While one would want to see a majority decision on most issues out of local councils respected, that result should not automatically quash the opinions of, or stifle, a dissenting member. There’s nothing wrong with disagreeing with someone and continuing to push an agenda — as long as there’s some degree of respect among peers and in the process. That’s the main difference between the more congenial and more fractious councils on the Peninsula. We encourage all candidates to act in a civil manner this fall, but we also don’t want people to pull any punches when it comes to their thoughts on leadership in our communities. Candidates and their supporters must engage in vigorous, yet respectful debate. To allow a degeneration into name-or-cat-calling serves no one and isn’t deserving of our votes. What do you think?

Victoria Gin has been a model for the government’s push to allow distilleries, breweries or meaderies on farmland. Given the B.C.

LETTERS Beacon Park noise blasts us out of our condos

am one of the few negative responses making demands regarding infrequent noise so eloquently referred to in the Peninsula News Review article regarding the noise from the bandstand. The concerns of Pier residents were misrepresented by the article. As a result, the individuals who were quoted were misinformed, as is now the general public who read the article. This was never about park noise, the Sunday afternoon concerts nor sanctioned activities such as the sail past, Canada Day Celebrations, Tour de Rock or the like. This is about the noise generated from the bandstand from the ever increasing sanctioned activities and those that are not sanctioned, including bands and musicians that play loudly for hours on end, skateboarders, buskers, people playing bongo drums and various musical instruments at all hours of the day and night. The bandstand amplifies sound, so why do even sanctioned concerts need so much electronic amplification that we are blasted out of our condos? We do believe we have the same right of inclusion in the Town of Sidney noise

bylaws that all other residential areas are entitled to. Those of us who expressed concern to the Town were not interviewed for this flawed article. First, there are more than a few residents/taxpayers who expressed concern. Secondly, the bandstand was erected after our units were built and sold, with no consultation from the Town. At no time was a replacement for the gazebo in the form of a naturally amplified all-weather venue ever discussed with us or the citizens of Sidney that we know of. Yes, we knew and accept that there

would be park noise, but the natural amplification of all sounds, especially musical, from the bandstand is certainly more noise than any other park in Sidney experiences. Nor have we ever suggested that any of the events hosted by the Peninsula Celebrations Society be curtailed. The park is used by hundreds of people each week and their activities contribute to a vibrant downtown. The park and its dynamics are not the exclusive domain of those using the bandstand — sanctioned or unsanctioned. On a regular basis, the park is used by hundreds

of people. We have made a request to the Town that there be a balance of activities in the bandstand to accommodate both citizens and the residents/taxpayers who are inundated with noise frequently every day all day and a method to deal with unsanctioned noise. We asked that sanctioned activities be carefully vetted with an understanding of the noise related issues, including taking into consideration when condo owners might wish for their own in-home celebrations, such as on Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day, and that unsanctioned activities that create undue noise are dealt with through our bylaws and bylaw enforcement. As I type this at 8:30 on Saturday evening, a trio of transients complete with grocery cart, backpacks, two dogs and three guitars have set up in the bandstand to entertain us for the evening.

Apparently if you publicly disagree, and I have, with some of the decisions and actions of this council, Mr. McLure finds you subversive and unwelcome. Only those who will not question or criticize council’s wisdom and are prepared to do battle with those who do are welcome. Sidney is indeed a beautiful town and I for one would not want to live anywhere else and I want to keep it that way. Our downtown stores and busi-

nesses and our waterfront are the life blood of our community and when they become threatened either directly or indirectly I will stand up and do whatever I can to mitigate that threat. If this means questioning, criticizing and holding the town leaders and decision makers accountable for their actions or inaction then that is exactly what I will do. This is not negativity. It is in fact, democracy. Susan Davey Sidney

Ten lights to slow them The simple solution to solve

the confusion at the McTavish Road traffic circles is the installation of traffic lights. Three on the most westerly roundabout, four on the centre one and three on the eastern circle. These ten lights will slow traffic enough to allow drivers the time required to read the signs and make a decision as to which way to turn. A further improvement would be to follow the local practice of having all the lights out of synch, slowing progress even more and thus greatly reducing the chance of collision. Obviously, the ultimate solution

is a single light on the Pat Bay Highway and a dedicated delayed green left turn lane to the airport. But, where would we get the political insight and funds for that? Don Chambers Brentwood Bay

There will need to be a Beacon crossing In my letter printed in the PNR on July 16, I suggested the land to be developed by the Airport Authority and Sidney could have an indoor, all-year-round Farmers’ Market, similar to Vancouver’s

Granville Island Market, linked to Sidney by a covered, pedestrian overpass. As the plans are being finalized for a pedestrian overpass, can protection from the weather be added for pedestrians and scooter users? Once the market is opened on the south-west corner of Beacon Avenue, there will need to be a branch across Beacon Avenue. Perhaps this can be built in the original construction of the overpass? It’s never as cheap as it is today. D. Child Sidney

Central Saanich to acquire Maber Flats District signs conditional agreement for 25 acres of Maber Flats land Devon MacKenzie News staff

The District of Central Saanich entered into a conditional land sale and donation agreement to acquire 25 acres of land in Maber Flats last week. The land, which would be used to construct an agricultural drainage facility in the Hagan-Graham watershed, is currently owned by Brentwood Developments Ltd. No land would be removed from the ALR in the deal which the District said would improve flood control, water quality and stream health. “Over the last few years, the District has successfully implemented channel improvements to Graham Creek south of Centennial Park,” said Central Saanich Mayor Alastair Bryson. “The creation of a detention facility in this area is the next priority in implementing the District’s award-winning Integrated Stormwater Management Plan.” An earlier concept of the project included a partnership with the Nature Conservancy of Canada to create a wetland area and nature

The deal between the District and the property owner also stipulates that a covenant be put on the ALR land to ensure that there can be no residential construction or

subdivision. Consultation on the project will take place between the Tsartlip and Tsawout First Nations, as well as with the Agricultural Advisory Committee, the Peninsula Agricultural Committee, the Healthy Watershed Committee and the Advisory Planning Committee. A public open house for the project is also scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 10 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Municipal Hall (1903 Mount Newton X Rd.) “The conditional purchase

agreement enables the District to seek the public’s input and consult with the relevant advisory committees before making a final decision,” said Bryson. “Since the land is within the Agricultural Land Reserve, for the project to proceed, it will be important that Council and the Agricultural Land Commission are satisfied that the proposed works and drainage will enhance the overall agricultural capability of the valley,” he said, adding that once all the consultation is

complete, the District will decide if they will sign the final agreement in the late fall. A donation by Brentwood Developments Ltd. could reduce the purchase price of the land by 10 per cent from the independently appraised value of $1.17 million. The District said the purchase would be funded through reserves and accumulated surplus and that no new property taxes would be levied to support the purchase. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

I don’t know if it’s a sign that the economy could be recovering or not, but we have certainly seen a rash of NVR policies lately. NVR means “New Vehicle Replacement” and we’ve seen a lot of brand new cars getting thumped. NVR policies are one or three year poliies that you can purchase when your vehicle is brand new. ICBC has a one year policy that guarantees you a new vehicle if the cost of repairs to your vehicle approaches 50 per cent of the cost of your new vehicle. Hmm. Sounds great doesn’t it? The problem is, what and who determines what your vehicle is worth? Scenario 1 - Customer gets rear ended in a brand new SUV. Has an NVR with a private carrier. Customer paid $36k for their SUV and the repair estimate is $22k. No brainier right? Uh huh. Insurance company says vehicle is worth $44k and wants to repair it. Big court battle going on. Scenario 2 - Super nice guy gets rear ended in his new F150. Hit hard at the left rear. Insurance company says half the value of the truck is $22k. He did not pay that. Repair bill is $16k, thus making it a repair. Customer now has a depreciation of $16k on his truck. Big court battle

in the works. Lawyers loving it. The common thread is that it isn’t what you paid for your vehicle that determines what your vehicle is worth. It’s the cost to replace your vehicle that is the magic number. Is it a good policy to have? We have seen some vehicles that are obviously a total loss that the NVR hasn’t even come into play, so we can’t really say yay or nay. We really don’t like repairing vehicles that are close to being totalled. We don’t re-build vehicles for that specific reason. When something is hit too hard, it should be thrown away and flagged “dismantle only.” That vehicle should not be allowed back on the streets again. In two states in Australia, it is now illegal to rebuild total losses. Safety was a huge concern and it should be that way here, in my opinion. The first scenario is going to be very interesting to follow. If the vehicle is totalled, where will it go and who will be driving it next year?

Flavour Trail features hot spots of North Saanich agritourism Steven Heywood News staff

North Saanich farms and gardens were busy over the weekend during the annual Flavour Trail. The two-day North Saanich event is under the umbrella of the Saanich Peninsula Flavour Trails — managed by the Capital Regional Food and Agriculture Initiatives Roundtable (CRFAIR). It features local farms, food and agricultural experiences in many different

venues. On Sunday, the PNR travelled to three of the Flavour Trail venues — Epicure Selections, the Wild Edge Garden Farm and the White House Stables. At Epicure Selections, a crowd gathered to watch a sheep herding demonstration by Julie Carter, Helen Christianson and dogs Tess and Bobbie. They showed how well-trained animals are able to respond to their masters and get wayward sheep into a waiting

Sheep herding has been a popular event at the North Saanich Flavour Trails and people stayed long afterwards to ask questions about the dogs, the training and to drink wine samples at the farm.

been growing vegetables and more for 35 years. Among all of the plants are many of Goulet’s concrete art creations. The Wild Edge is a place where neighbouring artists like Judy McLaren can gather to show off their work and take part in local workshops.

The weekend also saw Solara Goldwynn deliver workshops on permaculture — or edible landscaping — for many visitors. The final stop was at the White House Stables, where farm workers offered the public tours of a working farm, complete with pigs, turkeys, chickens,

a friendly donkey and thoroughbred horses. The White House Stables was a popular spot along the Flavour Trail, where families could see for themselves how local food and animals are grown and raised. To learn more about the Flavour Trails movement, visit www. FlavourTrails.com.

a.k.a. “Lazy Dr. RachelEye” Rushforth*

www.admiralsvision.ca The word “amblyopia” is Greek in origin and it quite literally means slowOptometric vision.Corporation The term *Denotes “lazy eye” is often used to describe amblyopia 106-1505 Admirals Rd. (near Thrifty Foods) to patients. If an eye is to become amblyopic, it will do so during the period of visual development between birth and about ten years of age. One eye is sending a weaker signal to the brain; therefore fewer connections will be made to thewww.saanichoptometry.ca brain for that eye. This condition can occur if one is born with eyes signifi cantly different Dr. Daisy Tao* has joined prescriptions. Over time, the ability to use both Dr. Charles Simons* & Dr. Victor J. Chin* eyes at once is diminished. The brain has many 119-3995 Quadra @ McKenzie (in Saanich Centre) cells requiring input from both eyes. These *Denotes Optometric cells, devoted to binocular vision and depth Corporation perception, are unable to develop if both eyes are not sending a strong signal, consequently the weaker eye wanders. Researchers disagree about the exact age up to which amblyopia can be successfully treated. They do agree however that the key to remediating amblyopia is early detection and treatment. Remember, the first eye examination should be at around the third birthday.

SPORTS Panthers prepare for home opener Local junior B hockey team holds training camps this week, home opener scheduled for September 5 Devon MacKenzie News staff

In nine days the Peninsula Panthers will open their 2014/15 Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League regular season when they play host to the Westshore Wolves on Sept. 5 at the Panorama Recreation Centre. The Club will be holding their main camp this coming weekend with inter-squad games set for Friday, Saturday and Sunday with a round of player cuts to follow. Then a full week of practice will take place before the season opener next Friday evening at 7:30 p.m. There will be sweeping changes on a lineup that was ranked near the top of the VIJHL last season said team owner and manager, Pete Zubersky. In the end, the Panthers lost to the Victoria Cougars in a hard fought six-game playoff series. Zubersky said local

fans should expect to see a lion’s share of local graduates from the Peninsula Minor Hockey Association. “There’s no doubt about it,” said Zubersky. “We will feature a lot of local kids and that is a real benefit of having a junior club right in your own back yard. “It has always been our way of doing business, giving opportunities to kids right here in our community, and this season will be no different. “I would expect that we might have ten or more local players nailing down spots in the club and that will certainly raise the excitement level with our fan base. “There is nothing like coming out on a Friday night and watching the faces that you know, the kids that you have watched growing up wanting to play on the Peninsula Panthers team.” reporter@peninsula newsreview.com
