Vantreight land ordered sold by supreme court Over 200 acres of farmland in Central Saanich was sold for $8.75 million in a deal made last week Devon MacKenzie News staff

Last week, 270 acres of Vantreight Farms land was ordered sold by the B.C. Supreme Court. The land, which went on sale last year for $20 million after a court order, was purchased by Sherry Brydson of Westerkirk Capital Corporation for $8.75 million, according to court documents. Brydson, a Victoria native, is

currently known as Canada’s richest woman, with an estimated net worth of $6.5 billion. Brydson also owns Viking Air in Sidney. “The sale last week stemmed from the court appointed sale of the buildings and property that we own that began last year,” explained Ian Vantreight, who owns and runs the farm with his son Ryan. “The deal came to fruition last

Thursday with an offer being made for six of the parcels by a local group. It was approved by the court with a closing date of Oct. 31,” he said. The farm has been in the Vantreight family for five generations. Vantreight said that should the sale go through, he hopes to continue farm operations in some capacity. “At this point it’s a priority for us to sit down with the group and

see what their plans are and if they can worked in with the continued operations of Vantreight Farms,” he said. Vantreight said the pending court sale includes the main offices and greenhouses on Central Saanich Road as well as 32 acres of land which was re-zoned into residential lots a number of years ago for the Hill Project. Most of the proceeds from the pending sale would go to HSBC

Bank, the company that sought foreclosure from the Vantreight’s last year. Two parcels of land out of the estimated 380 acre total remain to be sold. The farm currently employs 57 workers (full and part time) as well as hundreds of seasonal workers each year for the daffodil season. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

A group of frustrated would-be Grade 12 Parkland Secondary students rallied at the school last Friday afternoon to show their support for teachers and also their desire to be back in school. “The idea came from us just being frustrated by not being back at school,” explained one of the rally organizers, Gillian MacDonald. “This is our grad year and we feel we need to get out and do something about it.”

MacDonald said her and her peers are concerned about a number things in their Grade 12 year, including the loss of three weeks of classes already which could impact things like university, college and scholarship applications. “We want to see an end to the dispute, we feel like, as students, we’re stuck in the middle,” she said. The students organized live music and a hotdog barbecue and had good attendance at the event. “It’s important people know that the students are getting out there,” MacDonald said.

Former pilot flew Sidney’s landmark jet Steven Heywood News staff

During the early 1960s, powerful new jets were being flown in Canada and overseas by the military after decades of propeller aircraft that once dominated the sky. One pilot of such aircraft recalls high-stakes flying in Europe during the Cold War, passing so close to Soviet planes that one might have been able to wave hello. You can see one of those jets – the F-86 Sabre – on display outside the Army, Navy and Air Force Veterans Association building in downtown Sidney. In fact, that jet aircraft was once a training aircraft and was flown by some of the best pilots the air force could muster. One of those pilots is Saanich’s Dennis Jaques. He actually flew the Sabre that now sits atop a pole, a static display, in Sidney. Jaques and a group of his pilot colleagues gathered in Victoria this past weekend for a reunion of F-86 aviators. For him, when he discovered that he had actually flown the aircraft on display in

Sidney, it brought back a lot of memories. “I was in Sidney a while back and saw the number on the plane – 060,” Jaques told the PNR. “I checked in at the (ANAVETS) office and asked if it was a made-up number. Nope, they said, it was the real number.” It was the same Sabre jet that Jaques flew during his training Chatham, New Brunswick in 1959. Jaques, who lives in the Royal Oak area of Saanich these days, attended Royal Military College in Ontario in 1955. After he graduated in ’59, he was sent to Gimli, Manitoba for conversion training – from prop aircraft to jets. “I started in Harvards and Chipmunks,” he said of the prop-driven aircraft he flew while at RMC. He learned jet engines and how to fly them on T-33 aircraft in Manitoba. He would eventually be selected to train on what was then the state-of-theart jets of their day, the F-86 Sabre. “It was one of the best,” he recalled about the plane, noting that

Saanich’s Dennis Jaques flew the exact F-86 Sabre that sits atop a pole on Fourth Street in Sidney. Canadian pilots of the day won awards among their allied forces using the Sabre. It was a unique aircraft, he said. It was a fighter jet that used both machine guns and missiles – one of the last modern jets to rely almost exclusively on its cannons. These days, Jaques said, most jets rely on missiles to do the work. After training in New

Brunswick, Jaques said he was posted to 1 Fighter Wing in France. It was a stressful time, he said. The U.S. and the Soviets has squared off over Cuba and then, while he was in Europe, the Soviets cut off Berlin. The Berlin Crisis,

computers they used at the time – all with 40K memory. “You had to be very efficient when programming,” he laughed. Jaques would retire from the military in the mid-1960s and would eventually retire for good in Saanich. Yet, he recalls his pilot days fondly and takes part in the odd Sabre pilots reunion, like this past weekend in Victoria. They happen every three to five years, he said, depending on who is doing the organizing. The previous one, he said, was held in Edmonton. They tell stories about their flying days – some true, some not-so-true. But there’s always someone there to set the story-teller straight. “It’s a good remembrance,” Jaques said. “I tell my grandchildren when they ask, that flying the Sabre was like driving a Formula One race car.”

on the other side.” He said he and his unit spent the entire summer of 1962 on alert – they had to be on the base, just in case. During that time, he said neither side crossed the line, and there were no shots fired. A good thing, considering that a single incident could have turned the Cold War hot. Jaques praised the Sabre for its performance at the time. It was a U.S.-built plane, modified with a Canadian engine. He said that allowed the jet to fly higher and faster – something he and his fellow pilots were very proud of. It would eventually be replaced by the CF-104.

Aquarium in good shape according to engineer’s report Salt water spills have had little to no impact on facility Steven Heywood News staff

A structural engineer is recommending four mitigation steps to prevent any long-term impacts of salt water leakage at the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre. The Town of Sidney engaged the services of Tony Horlor of Herold Engineering after the aquarium board asked that steps be taken to mitigate any issues related to leaks of salt water from their tanks. “They came to us with their concerns in the first place, they were being responsible,” Chief Administrative Officer Randy

Humble told council at their Sept. 8 regular meeting. The engineer’s report states there has been little to no significant damage “from the episodic salt water exposure experienced by the concrete structure.” It also says prompt attention to spills and staff vigilance “has been beneficial.” Even with no significant issues stemming from past salt water spills or leaks at the aquarium, Horlor recommended: that all spills be flushed with fresh water and mopped up quickly; floor mats be placed at point of local leakage or condensation to collect water; flush an exist-

ing crack and seal it, and; grind down existing spots of rust and re-coat the metal with a zinc-rich primer. Horlor added a similar review of the site should occur in another two years and that what was seen in his observations of the aquarium and parking garage in the Pier Strata building, does not seem to warrant further, more detailed testing. Humble said the recommendations have no financial impacts on the Town. Council voted to receive the engineer’s report and ask that the SODC undertake the mitigation measures.

$1.75 million construction plan in Sidney to proceed without buried wires Most residents on Allbay Road don’t support extra cost Steven Heywood News staff

A planned $1.75 million infrastructure replacement project along Allbay Road in Sidney will proceed as originally planned — without the undergrounding of power, telephone and cable utilities. Through its consultation process with Allbay Road residents on the work, the Town fielded a request to explore undergrounding those utilities and

in that process detailed the potential for a Local Service Area (LSA) to be established to pay for the added cost (not included in the $1.75 million). A survey, which received responses from 41 of 57 property owners, showed 42 per cent (or 24 of the 41), the majority, did not support a LSA. In his report to council, Director of Corporate Services Andrew Hicik noted the Town does not collect enough money through prop-

erty taxes to include the burying of utilities in such a project. Normally, he said, this is done during a property redevelopment. Nor would the Town, in general, fund private utilities in residential areas. “Some of the residents felt the Town should have picked up half the cost,” he said, noting that that isn’t the normal practice and in the end would require a higher level of taxation.

Hicik said the survey response showed not enough support for an LSA. Residents will be informed of that result and be kept up to date on the progress of the work, the cost of which will be funded fully from the Town’s Infrastructure Replacement Reserve. The project is expected to begin in 2015. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

Terry’s legacy lives on in city L

ast Sunday was the 34th anniversary of the Terry Fox Run. If you don’t know the story, you’re likely not Canadian. But it is an incredible legacy. It is highly unlikely that when Terry first dipped his artificial leg into the Atlantic Ocean on April 12, 1980, to start his Marathon of Hope, he had any idea of the lasting effect he would have. An entire country followed his lead, after his run was cut short, just outside of Thunder Bay, Ont., five months later. Spurred by Isadore Sharp, of Four Seasons Hotels and Resorts, an annual fundraising run was organized in his name. “You started it. We will not rest until your dream to find a cure for cancer is realized,” said Sharp in a telegram to the Fox family. So it began. And its had a lasting legacy in Victoria where close to 1,000 took part in the annual run – many who took part were not even alive when Terry succumbed to cancer – and raised more than $21,000. The Terry Fox Foundation has grown to in excess of $650 million, to support cancer research in Terry’s name. To most, the thought of that much money not already producing a cure is unfathomable. The problem is the disease itself. It is the most baffling disease known, because of its inconsistencies. It can run in the family, but it’s not genetic. It can be caused by smoking, but smoking does not invariably lead to lung cancer. It can be deadly, but it can also be benign. Before a definitive cure for cancer can be achieved, a link between all cancers must be discovered. We are not there yet. Terry’s initial letter to the Canadian Cancer Society, asking for support of his Marathon of Hope, included the line “I’m not a dreamer, and I’m not saying this will initiate any kind of definitive answer or cure to cancer, but I believe in miracles.” Do you?

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East. Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money. ••• Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Worth asking amalgamation question on the Peninsula K

udos to Sidney and Central Saanich councils for including a referendum on amalgamation of the Peninsula’s municipalities in this year’s election. At the same time, it’s disappointing to hear the Mayor of Sidney is opposed to amalgamation because he believes it will

increase municipal taxes. How he arrives at that conclusion is difficult to grasp. We currently have three Mayors, three CEO’s , three Directors of Planning, three Chief Engineers, three Municipal Clerks, etc. not to mention three municipal council chambers.

Leaving the financial cost/benefit analysis aside, the significant benefit from amalgamation is a larger planning area that allows for better land use planning and prevents urban sprawl. It stops the competition amongst municipalities for industrial and commer-

cial development and assists in protecting valuable farm lands. Let’s hope the referendum will stimulate a vigorous debate between now and the election . Carl Eriksen Central Saanich

Readers respond: Class composition, amalgamation question Get back to mainstreaming Teachers are asking for more money and smaller classes in an attempt to solve a problem that is making their jobs impossible and their lives miserable. To wit: problem kids in regular classrooms. Teachers’ (and students’) lives in the classroom have been made unbearable by the presence of problem kids, the ones who jump up at random and swear at the top of their voices, or who harass other students, or can’t or won’t do what they are asked. When the notion of doing away with special schools and putting as many special needs kids as possible in regular schools,

commonly called mainstreaming, came along in the 1980’s, the term used was ‘least restrictive environment’. Many special needs kids, probably a majority of them, can get along in regular classrooms quite well, with some adaptation of the curriculum and goodwill and understanding on the part of the teachers and students, and that is the appropriate place for them. If they can take part in some activities in the regular classroom, but benefit (and the teacher and other students benefit) when they spend part of the day in a special class, that’s the appropriate setting. If the least restrictive environment means a different building, so be it.

Residents should have a say on amalgamation Voters deserve to be consulted on exploring amalgamation. Our current council in North Saanich is cavalier in believing that their

opinion on amalgamation is that of the voters. As was posed to council last Monday, “what is the downside of asking the question?” When our neighboring municipalities have the good sense to survey the public, it is logical for taxpayers in North Saanich to be heard on this as well. A non-binding question can only help the new council, especially if our neighbors vote yes. It will be another four years before before it will be economically sensible to put the question to the people again. The amalgamation question needs to be on the ballots.

NEWS REVIEW

Remembering the Battle of Britain Steven Heywood News staff

n or around Sept. 15 of each year, military historians and reenactment enthusiasts talk about the Battle of Britain. Starting on that day during the Second

World War, cities in Britain – notably London – were bombed by Axis aircraft while Allied pilots tried valiantly to stop the bombs from dropping. The Battle is generally held as one of the turning points of the war. On Sunday, Septem-

“There used to be RCAF and RAF units here [at the Pat Bay Aerodrome].” – Tony Austin ber 14, the B.C. Aviation Museum paid tribute to

that battle with a bydonation special event, featuring members of the Victoria-Esquimalt Military Reenactors Association. Tony Austin, dressed as a pilot from that era, says the group presents information mainly about Canada’s military history and

can be found most often at Fort Rodd Hill in Colwood. Both Canadian and British air forces were located at the Pat Bay Aerodrome during the war years ( 1939 to 1945). “There used to be RCAF and RAF units here,” Austin said, not-

ing they were here to train before being shipped overseas to fight in the war. Over the years, the aerodrome, of course, evolved into the Victoria International Airport. Sunday’s event was a fundraiser for the B.C. Aviation Museum, as

well as an interesting look at some of the uniforms, gear and history of the Battle of Britain. For more information on the B.C. Aviation Museum visit www. bcam.net. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

BeefsAndBouquets Many big bouquets to volunteers, Sarah, Rebecca, Heather, Adam, Sam and Sylvia that toured all the visitors around the farm when the Flavour Trail visited White House Stables last month. Big bouquets also go to Alice, Celia, Derek and David who were at the gate. It was a great day! Nicole Wylie Bouquets to teachers and CUPE support workers at Keating Elementary School who orchestrated, on the picket line Friday, Sept. 12 a meet and greet for students, pre-schoolers and parents. It was heart warming to see such a large turnout and the joyfulness of everyone being together under the present trying circumstances. Well done! Evelyn and Don Spencer Beefs to whomever hit my car on Sept. 12 in the parking lot on Bevan Avenue in Sidney. Why is it that people think it’s ok to hit my car and not even leave a note? This is the third time that this has happened to me in the same lot. This time, somebody left black rubber over the front turn indicator, gauged the bumper and left more black rubber on the fender. Yes it’s an older car, but that doesn’t mean that if you hit it, it doesn’t matter — it matters to me. Corona Jaskier On Aug. 20, my wonderful two hour bike ride with my husband came to an abrupt end when I was knocked off my bike by a car door crashing open in my path. I won’t go into detail about what happened after that, but I would just like to thank all the kind people who came to my rescue. Joyce who held my hand, Brenda with the truck who helped my husband get the bikes home, and George the paramedic along with his side kick driver who missed all the bumps on the way to the hospital. Thank you all so very much. Your kindness meant more than you know.

Peninsula

On Saturday, Aug. 23, I was on Beacon Avenue just crossing Fourth Street when I took a nosedive into the pavement. I was bleeding and in pain. I wish to thank the many caring people of Sidney who came to my aid, especially the woman who shared her big sun hat and the couple with the little dog who walked me to my car. Many thanks to all for your kindness.

I spy fall colour

Pat Williams I wanted to extend a big thank you to the very supportive arts community on the Saanich Peninsula. I had the opportunity to share the beautiful gallery space at the Tulista Arts Centre with my friends and fellow artists Sara Hansen and Kimberly Reynolds earlier in the summer. We were so impressed with our whole experience, from the well organized facility, to the great turn out of local art lovers who came to see our show, and even an article in your paper. What a lucky community you are to have a group of such dedicated volunteers working hard to keep your arts community vibrant. A special thanks goes to Frankie at CACSP as well. Melanie Willing

A local business and popular attraction will be closing its doors later this month after 20 years. Pebbles and the Scratch Patch at Mineral World will be selling off any remaining merchandise over the month and plan to close their doors on Sept. 30. “It’s something we’ve been thinking about for a long time,” explained The Sidney Pier Hotel and Spa General Manager, Natalie King. “There comes a point in the lifecycle of any business when you have to make a decision on its financial viability.” The store, which was bought by the Sidney Waterfront Partnership in 2008, moved into its current location across the street from the hotel in 2010. It was rebranded as Pebbles in 2011 and expanded to include more giftware and jewellery. “The business had been operating at a loss for some time,” said King, who attributes the decline in business to an abundance of other great shopping spots on Beacon. “There’s so many great gift stores, especially on lower Beacon. Part of being successful in Sidney is finding that unique niche,” she said, adding that the rock and Scratch Patch portion of the business was indeed unique, but it wasn’t enough to keep the business operating

Fire department unveils memorial cairn Steven Heywood News staff

There’s one thing about firefighters that seems to be true whether it comes out of Hollywood or one’s own back yard — they do take care of their own. The Sidney Volunteer Fire Department unveiled a new memorial cairn in front of the hall on Third Street on Thursday, Sept. 11. On a plaque attached to the cairn are the names of 39 life members of the department. It replaces an older memorial that had simple run out of space to include more recent life members. The list of names of people who served the community with the fire department dates back to the 1930s — as well as the oldest living life member, 91-yearold Ted Clarke whose firefighting career lasted 24 years. The plaque has room for another 41 names. During the unveiling ceremony, Mayor Larry Cross said the cairn represents the efforts of many people, especially the volunteers who gave their time for their community over the

Biggest municipality in the CRD say they won’t ask amalgamation question in November’s municipal election Daniel Palmer News staff

The Capital Region’s largest municipality is coming under increasing pressure to ask residents what they think of amalgamation at the ballot box, but Mayor Frank Leonard says the discussion isn’t one his residents want. On Monday, Esquimalt and Sidney councils joined Central Saanich, Langford and Victoria when they agreed to put a non-binding amalgamation question on the ballot in the Nov. 15 municipal election. “The debate is not a Saanich debate,” Leonard said. “It’s not our place to comment on whether our neighbours are too small. That’s for them to do internally.” The question will ask residents if they support moving forward with a provincially funded study of various models of integration for the region’s 13

municipalities. Municipal councils can then choose how to best proceed with those options. John Vickers, AmalgamationYes spokesperson, said a yes majority vote would give municipal leaders the tools to evaluate the benefits of further integration. Vickers cited an Angus Reid poll conducted in July that showed 89 per cent of people surveyed felt the amalgamation question should be put to residents at the voting booth. “Five municipalities have recognized the right of the public to have a say on this,” Vickers said. “As long he [Leonard] denies the call from constituents in his own community, then he’s certainly not doing any favours for the region or for Saanich.” While an online AmalgamationYes petition has less than 1,000

signatures, Vickers said volunteers have collected thousands of hard copy signatures across the region, many of those in Saanich. Specific numbers were not available. Leonard said the logistics of managing Saanich’s sprawling farms, parks, urban areas, lakes and streams takes a small army of 1,500 municipal employees, and that increasing those responsibilities won’t necessarily result in efficiencies. “All our colleagues recognize these challenges, apart from maybe one vocal mayor. They too know that bigger isn’t better,” Leonard said. “The only government bigger than Saanich around here is the CRD, and that doesn’t help the bigger is better argument either.” Saanich council does not have any discussion scheduled around the amalgamation bal-

How to use EYE DROPS correctly Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye drops to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. It is always a battle to try and aim the drop so that it has a perfect “landing” without most of the contents running down your face. Before you use any eye drops, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or nonprescription medications that you are taking or any allergies that you have. Here are some general tips about correctly putting eye drops in your eyes. 1. Look at the ceiling by standing or sitting and tilting your head backwards. Some people like to lie down on a flat surface. 2. The best way to ensure the drop remains in your eye iswww.oakbayoptometry.com to gently pull the skin of your lower eyelid between your thumb and index finger to create “pocket” for the drop.

Book brings humour to menopause Local author Donna Randall aiming to connect with menopausal women through her recent book Devon MacKenzie News staff

BETTER MEALS Facilitator of Independent Living

Donna Randall is hoping to help women everywhere get through menopause with a little humour with her book Menopause or Lunacy…That is the Question. “The book is all about my adventures through menopause, but it’s something many women will be able to identify with,” said Randall. The book, which Randall said was 10 years in the making, is published by Balboa House, the self-publishing arm of Hay House Publishing. “I was on again off again writing, mostly because at the time I was writing it, I was going through menopause,” she laughed. In all seriousness though, Randall said, the book addresses though topics such as lack of

focused thinking, hot flashes and hormone loss that are common in pre-menopausal, menopausal and post-menopausal women. “A lot of the book is humorous but it looks at some of the important issues that face menopausal women,” she said. Randall added that the book it

written into sections which are perfect for short reading stints. “It’s fun because it’s something you can pick up and read and enjoy in short bits. For me, one of the most difficult things I encountered with menopause was the lack of focus, attention span and memory. I tried to make this book easy to pick up and read anywhere. And the most important part is that it is humorous, I really think that’s something we all need,” she said.

Peninsula Panthers netminder Will Harvey blocks a shot from the Victoria Cougars #14 Wade Johnson while #4 Kyle Richardson looks to sweep away the rebound. Harvey and his teammates were downed 4-2 last Friday night in VIJHL action at Panorama Recreation Centre.

Panthers downed by Cougars Cougars beat local cats 4-2 last Friday night Devon MacKenzie

enough for the young Panthers to garner two points for a win. News staff For Meyerink, who is one of The Peninsula Panthers were 14 rookies in the Club, the goal downed by the visiting Victoria would be his first in the VIJHL. Harvey blocked 21 of 25 shots Cougars by a 4-2 count at the Panorama Recreation Centre and was collared for the loss while Ciurro stopped 27 of 29 last Friday night. The Cougars held a 1-0 lead Panthers attempts. “We have a club full of young after 40 minutes of play as Panthers goalie Will Harvey and first-year kids and Friday night Cougars’ goalie Anthony Ciurro they learned just a little bit more seemed to have all the answers about themselves and about what is required at the Junior to the shots on net. The final period saw Panthers level,” said Panthers general NFW_Ad_2014_BW.pdf 1 9/8/2014 4:37:10 PM manager and owner, Pete ZuberJordan Law and Ben Meyerink solve Ciurro, however it was not sky.

“We competed hard and that was awesome to see. I have seen this movie quite a number of times and each time it’s the same. Young kids need a chance to compete and once they figure it out, good things start to happen. Tonight was the start of the development process for each player and for the group.” The Panthers hope to put up a win this Friday evening when they host the visiting Nanaimo Buccaneers for a 7:30 p.m. start at Panorama. The game will be the first of two visits for the Northern Division Buccaneers.
