Lighting up Beacon Ave. Proposal could see Sidney beacon burning again Steven Heywood News staff

If you’ve been to Sidney or even just lived here only a short time, you may not realize that there’s an actual beacon on Beacon Avenue. At the east end of Sidney’s main drag stands an iron grill, impaled in a cairn on concrete and rock. It’s a beacon that was erected in 1995 and designed to burn using natural gas, but it has been decidedly dormant since 2000. This week, the possibility of it being re-lit was raised at the suggestion of former municipal councillor Kenny Podmore. A member of the Monarchist League of Canada. Podmore says he was approached by someone asking if he could help convince the Town of Sidney to take part in a brief ceremony on September 9 to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s reign as the lonSteven Heywood/News staff gest monarch in modern Sidney’s gas beacon history. “Beacons will be lit all may get a boost, thanks to the Queen over Canada,” Podmore said, “and if it works right, Sidney’s beacon would be the last one lit in Canada.” He said while the Monarchists League event calls for ceremonies to be held and beacons to be lit at noon on that day, he’s suggesting Sidney light theirs between dusk and later in the evening. And once it’s lit again, Podmore added it could either stay that way or shine during special occasions. In a report by Town staff to council, which met June 8, it was noted the beacon is in disrepair with a “prohibitively expensive” repair estimate.

Sidney residents Diana Gough and Shawn Hefely enjoy the town’s current skate park and do not want to see it disappear as the municipality considers the area for a new community safety building and parking lot. Gough has a petition with more than 200 names, asking that the park be saved, and has presented it to the Town.

pal plans to build a large employee parking lot south of the Mary Winspear Centre. Gough has collected more than 200 names on a petition, asking the Town of Sidney to keep the skate park. She says she has presented her petition to municipal hall, but is not holding out much hope that it will have a significant effect.

“I hear from a lot of people that they are frustrated that the Town seems to announce these plans and their minds are already made up,” she said. That said, she added she still has to try. Please see: Gough fears loss of park, page 16

• Police responded to a two-vehicle collision where air bags had deployed in the 10000 block of Resthaven Drive in Sidney. One vehicle travelling south slowed to allow another vehicle to parallel park and was rear-ended by another vehicle. No injuries resulted, however, both drivers were assessed by ambulance. Neither was transported to hospital. • At 8:30 p.m., police responded to the area of McTavish Road and Highway 17 after receiving reports that youths were throwing eggs at passing vehicles. A reminder to parents to speak with your kids about the dangers associated with such activities. • At 8:40 p.m. two vehicles colliided on East Saanich Road at Leal Road in North Saanich. There were no injuries and minor damage to the vehicles.

The Town will look into how it might be re-lit with a temporary gas source — or even a more permanent electric flickering light. Podmore, who is also the Town Crier for Sidney, seemed to favour that idea. “Once we lit it, it would be nice to leave it and let it light up along with all the street lights.” Podmore added a few people he’s mentioned the idea to were not even aware the beacon existed. However, he’s confident it could be put to good

Beacon Avenue name

Sidney’s Beacon Avenue was not named for the gas beacon put up in 1995. Brad Morrison with the Sidney Archives says there are two possible roots to the name Beacon Avenue — one, there was a red beacon light situated at the end of the wharf at the foot of the street — and two, it was named after the beacon that was situated at the end of Sidney Island. Morrison says he favours the second explanation, as Beacon Avenue likely got its name in 1891 and the wharf did not exist then.

Jacqueline Gaby tops the podium in the Senior Women’s 1500m Race Walk in a time of 7.45.19 at the provincial track and field finals recently.

Parkland track athletes earn medals at provincial finals NORTH SAANICH — Parkland Secondary School had eight athletes qualify from the Island track and field championships for the B.C. finals recently. Three junior girls made it in the javelin competition — Sarah Gibson, Lauren Fanelli and Emma Dennis. Emma Dennis had a fantastic throw of 33.42 meters and placed sixth in the B.C.s. Jacqueline Gaby won the senior women’s 1500m Race Walk in a time of 7.45.19. “This is the second time Jacqueline has won the senior girls title,” stated Colleen McNamee of Parkland Secondary. “She won as a Grade 10 student, placed third last year as a Grade 11 student and this year was golden once more.”

Sayril Silaya took second place among junior boys in the provincial track and field long jump event. Sayril Silaya came second in the B.C. junior boys long jump with a personal best of 6.20 meters. “He had a fabulous meet,” McNamee said in an email to the PNR. “He also came in fifth in the junior boys 100 metre race final with a

in the finals, along with three other teams. “Huge potential next year for the four young men.” Ben Sammons, who won the junior boys Aggregate Award for the Lower Island in May, due to his first place finishes in the 100m hurdles and 300m hurdles, had an injury a week before the provincials and could only compete in relay. “He is only in Grade 9 and has a bright future in the next three years in hurdling,’ said McNamee. At the school’s year end Athletic Awards, Gaby won the top female Athlete Award. Silaya won the top junior boys Athletic Award for not only track, but also basketball and volleyball.

OUR VIEW

One resident is watching

ne has to admire Diana Gough for speaking her mind and making an effort to save a part of Sidney that she thinks is quite valuable — a place for youth to play. Gough is a regular around town, moving about in her scooter and has been active in a variety of community events. Plus, she spends time down at the Sidney skate park, close to where she now lives. It seemingly flies in the face of stereotypical interactions — or lack thereof — between seniors and youth. Where one might think the two social groups might rarely meet, here’s a woman who goes out of her way to let young people know she likes what they do and is willing to fight for it. Gough presented a 200-plus name petition to the municipality this week, hoping to convince them not to destroy the skate park as they look at redeveloping the land south of the Mary Winspear Centre into an employee parking lot. That, and a proposed community safety building, will change the look of the site significantly. In the mix, the Town has stated it will have to remove the current skate park and, eventually, replace it on some land elsewhere. Gough fears a replacement skate park might fall through the cracks. If there’s no stopping the parking lot proposal, she says, she hopes to at least raise awareness in the community about the loss of the park to local youth. Good for her — it takes a bit of courage to stand up for what you believe in, even though the odds may be stacked against you. Gough believes in what she’s doing, yet is clearly frustrated by the process and what she hears from some people — namely that once minds are made up, it’s very hard to change them. If nothing else, and even if the current skate park cannot be saved, her message should be taken to heart. Too many times promises are made and never followed up. Gough is bringing attention not only to the future of the skate park — which is still probably years away from being removed — but to local politics and what is being said to assuage fears that the youth facility might be lost in the shuffle. Time will tell if the skate park survives or is rebuilt in a new location. Diana Gough, for as long as she can, will probably be there to ensure we do not forget about it.

YOUR VIEW

Town of Sidney robbing Peter to pay Paul Comments in the Peninsula News Review’s June 5 report Workforce Housing Comes to Sidney attributed to Mayor Price and councilors Chad and Fallot are real head shakers. It appears that even before public consultations have begun on the proposed housing project the Mayor has thrown down the gloves and come out with pre-emptive strikes against those who may be concerned with the probable loss of downtown public parking if the project goes ahead as planned. Similar to the Port Sidney (Seaport Place) development fiasco, the Mayor’s comments appear to be in support of the proposal by dismissing what will certainly be one of the main hurdles in getting it through the public review process. Once again, so much for a level playing field. The Mayor’s remarks, “we need to wean people off parking downtown,” will not be welcomed by downtown retailers and are at odds with recent efforts to attract travelers into Sidney including costly welcoming signage proposals at the highway and Anacortes ferry. Visitors arriving in cars will be discouraged to find limited parking available to them in the downtown retail area. Asking them to park near the highway and walk may be too much to ask when there are plenty of other options for them elsewhere. The survival of the town’s retail shops is very dependent upon the town’s ability to not only attract tourists but provide them with convenient parking for shopping and enjoying what our town has to offer.

The affordable housing project is certainly a welcome one but to rob Peter to pay Paul is not a good strategy for downtown revitalization. Ed East Sidney

Money well spent? The primary reason for this letter is to thank publicly the Town staff and the contractor who did a splendid job of putting in the new sidewalk on the eastern part of First Street between the ferry terminal and Bevan Avenue. They worked hard at expediting the project and minimizing the inconvenience to the residents affected. The workers were always polite, helpful, attentive and accommodated our requests as much as possible. The sprinklers beside the old sidewalk were relocated and the disturbed grass areas seeded. Overall it was a job well done

and, as a result, the new sidewalk looks splendid. If beautification was the goal, it has been accomplished. I am left wondering, however, if the $130,000 or so to replace the old functional sidewalk would have been more cost-effectively spent in putting a sidewalk on the western side of the street between 9654 and the corner with Second Street. The condominium at 9650 houses a lot of elderly residents who have to cross the road to walk into Sidney as they cannot navigate through the grass on their side, even with walkers, canes and the like. Or would the money have been better spent to refurbish the waterfront walkway on the seaside of First? That path is used a lot on a daily basis, but it is ugly, rough, dirty, and often cluttered by plant overgrowth. Its surface is irregular, and rocks are frequently seen protruding above the surface, making it uncomfortable and unsafe, especially for the disabled and infirm, even with the aid of walkers and scooters.

Justice Ride seeking inquiry into G20 arrests in 2010 Ontario’s John and Sarah Pruyn riding 110 days to protest lack of police oversight

Camping? Grilling? We got you covered! Stagg

Steven Heywood News staff

John and Sarah Pruyn have never embarked on a crossCanada bike journey before. In fact, they may never have even contemplated it before. However, since 2010, the father and daughter have had to think about things they never thought would impact on their lives so much. Both John and Sarah attended the same labour protest in Toronto on June 26, 2010, during the G20 summit held there that year. They had figured on a peaceful protest and set up in that city’s Queen’s Park, a purported legal protest zone established by authorities. However, that day was when riot police swept the entire area, making mass arrests and sparking debate over police actions, rather than focussing public attention on what was going on among the G20 nations. “With protests, there’s always the hope that your leaders will listen,” Sarah said. Instead, both she and her dad were arrested. John, who is missing a leg, said he had his artificial limb torn from him, his walking stick grabbed and because he could not comply with a police order to stand, walk or even hop, he was dragged away and put into a holding area for 28 hours. “They didn’t give me time to stand,” John said. “I didn’t get up right away, so they attacked me.” Sarah and a friend who had tried to help her father, were also arrested. She says she was held for 27 hours. Both would be released without charge. Afterwards, John said he found he’d had a concussion and began suffering from stress related to the incident. He filed a Human Rights complaint, which he won and received a little

Sarah and John Pruyn are riding across Canada to raise awareness about the treatment they and others received at the hands of police during the 2010 G20 protests in Toronto. They want an inquiry into why police were allowed to attack peaceful protesters. money and an assurance that police practices would change. “But it was never about the money,” he said. “I still want a police apology and their acknowledgement that they went over the line.” To this day John said he does not know who the police officers were who dragged him away and it still bothers him that they may never face repercussions. That’s why the pair started the G20 Justice Ride — G20Justiceride.wordpress. com — with the goal of riding across Canada, stopping at MP and MLA offices and RCMP headquarters buildings in each province. They started

their journey in Sidney this week, visiting the office of MP Elizabeth May. They want to raise awareness about what happened five years ago and how new legislation like Bill C-51, currently before the House of Commons, could give police more powers with little oversight. “They’ve got enough power,” he said. They are also after an inquiry into the disruption of peaceful protests by police with the goal of increasing oversight into officers’ actions. To this day, John said he still suffers anxiety when he sees a police officer — although he

admitted he doesn’t believe individual officers are bad. “I believe the mindset that allows that kind of thing to go on in groups, is not necessarily in the individual police officers.” Sarah and John dipped their wheels in the Pacific Ocean in Victoria this week as they start their 110-day journey across Canada. They say they know the journey will be hard but hope to make a point to Canadians and their leaders as well. “We have a hope, as naive as it may be, to see change with the police,” said Sarah. The pair will end their journey in St. John’s, Newfoundland.

RCMP probe claims ‘a mistake’ Premier Christy Clark has apologized for wrongly claiming an RCMP investigation was underway into several former health ministry researchers who the government fired in 2012. Clark characterized the investigation claims as an error but said little more when reporters asked her why the claims weren’t recanted until RCMP documents were released to the Vancouver Sun under Access to Information. “It was a mistake that was made and that’s why we apologized for it,” Clark said. The released documents show the RCMP closed their file in the summer of 2014 because the force never received information from the province justifying a criminal investigation. Health Minister Terry Lake told reporters he was never informed the Mounties weren’t investigating. The province previously admitted the firings were a mistake and settled out of court with most of the employees. One researcher committed suicide. NDP MLA Adrian

Dix said the government intentionally misled the public for years on the RCMP probe and wrongly smeared the researchers despite legal advice against mentioning police involvement.

More records missing: NDP Opposition New Democrats claim they’ve found more examples of government staffers destroying records to stymie information requests. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham is already investigating the allegations of a transportation ministry staff member who said a supervisor deleted emails from his computer so they wouldn’t be considered for public release through a Freedom of Information request for records related to the Highway of Tears. NDP critic Doug Routley said he has asked Denham to look into three more cases where FOI requests yielded no documents even though the NDP knew they exist because they turned up in overlapping information requests. “It’s clear that these public records are being routinely and deliberately destroyed, and the people of British Columbia deserve to know why,” Routley said. —Black Press

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, June 12, 2015

Horgan sees challenges in B.C.’s economy The following is the second part of a News Review interview with B.C. NDP leader John Horgan. The first part was published in the June 10 PNR.

Steven Heywood News staff

B.C. New Democrat leader John Horgan, who was in North Saanich recently to lend his support to a fundraiser for Saanich North and the Islands MLA Gary Holman, says he’s willing to give as good as he gets when it comes to debate in the legislature. Where he says he’s finding a lot of that back and forth between the NDP and the B.C. Liberals, is in two very large portfolios in this province: health care and the economy. “At the highest level, the federal government seems to have largely vacated their role in health care, and it’s left a big hole for the provinces to fill.” Horgan has strong feelings about the health care system,

having used it extensively after being diagnosed with cancer. “My personal experience with the system was wonderful,” he said, but noted not everyone has the same experience and, in fact, some find it hard to navigate it and have even felt they’ve been left behind. “In 10 years I have heard a lot of people’s stories, good or with challenges.” Those challenges, he said, are often related to the pressures building within the system itself — whether its in declining numbers of nurses to the need for more doctors in many places throughout the province. Horgan said those challenges are difficult to overcome and from his persepctive will require an influx of capital, no matter the approach taken to make B.C.’s health system better. To that end, he said having balanced budgets are all well and good, but the province has obligations that it

“We can fix the system. and we can do that by re-jigging how we manage the flow of cash through the system.” – John Horgan must live up to. “A balanced budget is good and it’s better than being in the red, however, does it meet expectations people have [of services the province supplies]?” Horgan suggested one way to increase capital in the short term would be to issue provincial bonds, generating some interest in the province at the same time. “We can fix the system,” he said. “And we can do that by rejigging how we manage the flow of cash through the system.” Raising that cash means having a robust economy, one that would enable people to take advantage of

things like bonds. And while the Liberals have been looking to Liquified Natural Gas as an economic boost in B.C., Horgan said that should only be a part of the economic picture, not the whole thing. “In a recent report, it showed overwhelmingly that, world-wide, Canada is pretty low on the pole (when it comes to LNG production). The U.S. is fracking a lot of its gas now and no longer needs a lot of Canadian gas. “It makes sense that we want to get our gas to higher-price markets but it’s only a transition fuel. It has less of an impact than coal.” Horgan said he’s no climate change denier and does see some value in the industry, but is concerned with what he termed “the hyperbole of Premier Christy Clark” on LNG’s future in the province. “The province has set the stage to race towards a deal and their current one with Petronas may not be in the best interests of the people of Brit-

ish Columbia. The resource belongs to us, and we should be getting the benefits.” Outside of LNG, Horgan said B.C. remains strong in its service industry, high-tech, films, health services and even forestry. On the Island, he agrees its more of a

growth in B.C., while not what it was at 10 years ago, is still a challenge. Horgan has been leader of the B.C. NDP for 13 months and serves as MLA for Malahat-Juan de Fuca on Vancouver Island. editor@peninsula newsreview.com

challenge and raw logs are continuing to be exported too much, but notes as the U.S. economy recovers and their dollar rebounds, the demand for Canadian lumber goes up. “There are some positives in forestry right now,” he said. Horgan added job

Matt Underwood lacrosse tourney this weekend 17th annual memorial event remembers popular player NORTH SAANICH — Male and female lacrosse players will be in action at Panorama Recreation Centre all weekend for the 17th Annual Matt Underwood Midget Tournament. The Matt Underwood tournament, June 12 to 14 this year, is held each year to honour the memory of Matt. According to event organizers, he was recognized for his high calibre of play in both box and field lacrosse. “He was playing at the height of his game and in training camp for the national field lacrosse team when he became ill,” states a notice about the history of the event at penlax.com. “At first it was thought he had mononucleosis, but unfortunately the diagnosis was leukemia.

Once back on the road I really put the pedal to the metal – the acceleration was brisk and delivered plenty of power. With that much power, typically comes a hefty bill at the gas station, and not because of all the ice cream sandwiches purchased there. However, a comparison check shows the RDX offers fuel efficiency is rivalled by very few luxury SUVs. Given the often-steep gas prices we see these days, the RDX’s fuel economy on average is 10.6 litres/100 km, allowing motorists to enjoy summer drives guilt-free.

Audi teaching computers to think like drivers By Keith Morgan

NEWS REVIEW

Industry-licensed technicians • Modern Equipment • Coast to Coast Warranty • Premium products you know & the Brands you can trust!

As Audi perfects its autonomous driving technology, it’s using ‘deep learning’ to train computers to imitate the human brain. This breakthrough played a critical role for a recent 885-kilometre autonomous-drive of “Jack,” the Audi A7 Sedan from Silicon Valley to Las Vegas. The deep learning process is at the centre of a drive to produce a commercially available vehicle that can pilot itself to any destination with little human help. Audi is cooperating with such key suppliers as NVIDIA, the digital-tech company based in Santa Clara, California, to create a vehicle computer the way human brains process new information. To understand the concept, think of the car’s way of learning as being similar to that of child. Caregivers teach a baby to identify things perceived with senses: a circle, a square, colors. Object edges are very important in this process.

The edges form meaningful, distinct shapes, which the brain starts to recognize. A fire truck is red, has a certain shape and wheels, but at first, the baby might think all trucks are fire engines. Then the child learns to differentiate between different kinds of trucks. The car technology enables pixels to be generated by camera images, in a similar way to how the human eyeball transfers images to the brain. The Audi processor, about the size of a tablet PC and powered by NVIDIA’s Tegra processor, analyzes every frame of video that comes in, and

it senses edges which it groups into shapes. It learns that the shapes are objects then learns to differentiate those objects. This artificial intelligence enables the Audi processor to detect, for instance, features such as eyes, a nose and mouth, and it figures out that they all fit into a face. It also allows vehicles to detect and identify other vehicles. All of this information goes into a database to foster future advances in such recognition. With every kilometre travelled, the car gets smarter. But it takes more than terabytes of such data to make for

successful autonomous driving. The data has to be processed very quickly: 30 video frames a second. The information must be transmitted, recognized, processed, analyzed – and provide a reaction – almost instantaneously, in case a driver is encountering dangerous conditions. That’s why one of the most important objectives of deep learning is to ensure that every bit of object recognition is embedded in the processor in the vehicle itself and is not dependent on the internet cloud. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Gough fears loss of park forever Continued from page 1

Users of the park, like Shawn Hefely, are thankful Gough is making the effort. “I moved here two years ago and this is a great place to skate and to paint. A lot of kids hang out here after school. Many of them have heard of the Town’s plans and that they want to take out the park, but we’ve got it pretty good here.” Hefely added he understands the need for a new fire hall, but is worried that a replacement skate park might not be a priority. He thinks, as does Gough, that a new one should be started before the current one is removed. “We have a place where we can skate right now,” he said. “I’m

“We’ll Get You Going!”

Steven Heywood/News staff

Diana Gough hopes her petition has an effect and helps ensure Sidney has a skate park in the future. sure the Town doesn’t want people to skate in the streets.” Gough has pled her case at least twice before municipal council. Mayor Steve Price has told her on at least one occasion that the Town has plans to replace the skate park on a different site (as yet not determined) and build it to a higher standard. It has been a stated goal of the project over the long-term to build a new skate facility. Gough, however, isn’t sure. “This isn’t a joke,” she said, “the kids need some place to play, to ride their bikes and enjoy themselves.” Gough moved into the Orchard subdivision near the skate park back in October. Even before then, she would ride her scooter to the park to watch the action.

“I think it’s neat and I like the kids’ artwork. “I fear that we’ll lose this park and we may never see it come back.” Gough said she has told some of the youth using the area that she cannot guarantee what she is doing will work, but added she feels like a bigger part of the community by doing something. She points to some of the names on her petition — many of whom are adults. Gough said very few people she has asked to sign it refused because they think the area is an eyesore. Most who didn’t sign, she said, simply expressed frustration that the Town may already have its mind made up about the park. “For me, this is where the skate park belongs.” editor@peninsula newsreview.com

PAMA recital this Sunday Peninsula Academy of Music Arts hosts student performance NORTH SAANICH — Students from the Peninsula Academy of Music Arts will be showcasing their talents at a recital this Sunday, June 14. The private music school is hosting two performances. At 1:30 p.m., kids will hit the stage for solo performances on violin, cello, guitar, mandolin, drums and piano as well as in a children’s choir. At 3:30 p.m., the Adult Ukulele Orchestra will take its turn. The recital is at the Highway Christian Fellowship Church and admission is by donation. As with most recitals, most of the people who attend are parents of the performers but the show is open to the general public. “We get a lot of people who bring friends and relatives,” says Diana English, who started the music school along with her husband Lloyd English in 2001. “It’s entertain-

At the same time, their parents get confirmation that the lessons they’re paying for are actually sinking in. “Some kids are 7 shy and to be able to get up and play in front

of people really builds their confidence,” English says. The second show features about 40 adults who have taken up the ukulele. “It’s fairly easy to learn — there are only four strings and there’s a lot less tension on the strings than a guitar so it doesn’t hurt your fingers as much,” English says.

The performance features a lot singing and makes for an entertaining afternoon. In fact, the social quality of the ukulele is likely one of the reasons many retired people decide to learn the instrument, English says. “I guess they find themselves with more time and it’s a fun thing to do.”

ACTIVE RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS / TOTAL, JUNE 2014

Dan Ebenal News Staff

Victoria’s scorching real estate market is putting an even greater emphasis on potential buyers being ready to close the deal. The Victoria Real Estate Board reports a total of 905 properties were sold across the region in May, a 26.8 per cent increase over the 714 properties sold in May 2014. “May was another great month for local real estate. It’s been a very active month for sales and listings, and we continue to see consumer confidence in our market as people continue to purchase properties,” said Victoria Real Estate Board president Guy Crozier. “We’ve not seen this many sales in May since 2007 when we saw 963 properties sell in the month.” Realtor Cassie Kangas said the potential for a quick sale is yet another reason for buyers to be pre-approved and ready to close the deal.

ready. Could be the difference between getting it or not,” said the realtor with DFH Real Estate. Kangas points to a house that had come on the market on a Saturday morning, she took her clients to see it that same afternoon. “We were in the house when the realtor phoned me to say ‘My clients are on their way to the office, there’s already two offers,” she recalled. “We hadn’t even looked in the basement yet. You have to be prepared, because if you’re not you’re not going to get it.” Having financing in place is just one of the areas where realtors can assist their clients in buying or selling their home. “The big thing is that every house is different, and there is information you need

when selling your house.” Kangas said she regularly needs to come up with information on items such as building permits, zoning and bylaw information. “We need to have so much information. People who try to sell their houses by themselves don’t understand the questions that are going to come up so they don’t have all that information at their fingertips all the time, and they don’t know where to get it,” said Kangas. She said permits can be a major issue that can have serious ramifications on the sale of a house. “People do work without permits or they just don’t know what kind of permits are required,” she said. “If someone does come and inspect your house for some reason and they realize you

have done all this work incorrectly, they can make you take it out.” She said checking for possible oil tanks on a property is another issue that should be investigated before a sale, along with going over strata documentation. “There could be an assessment coming the next year for $60,000 and you’re on the hook for it. You have to read that stuff,” she said. Kangas said it’s important for realtors to have good relationships with local governments as well as those in the banking and legal fields in order to address any issues that may arise. “There’s stuff that buyers have no idea they should be asking and there’s stuff that sellers have no idea they should be disclosing. We’re here to know all that.”
