North Saanich seeks Sidney sewer hook up Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Town of Sidney staff will study their sewers in response to a North Saanich request. The neighbouring district asked Sidney to consider allowing it to hook up to the sewer main on McDonald Park to service a potential “This is not Road commercial development at the current Sandown something we site. can go into very Park The proposal would see the former horse racing easy.” - Kenny Podmore venue split into two parcels of 83 acres for the District of North Saanich and 12 acres of commercially zoned property for the landowners. The District of North Saanich officially asked Sidney to consider allowing a connection to the Sidney sanitary sewer main along McDonald Park Road. “This would enable the district, should the proposal be approved, to avoid having to extend a sanitary line from Mills Road up to the property,” wrote Rob Buchan, CAO for North Saanich, in a letter to Sidney council. “The site is currently serviced with a North Saanich water main along the frontage of McDonald Park Road. This line has sufficient pressure and volume to service the proposed commercial development,” Buchan wrote. “With respect to sanitary sewer, there are two options, subject to receiving approvals,” the letter continued. “First, sewer could be extended up McDonald Park Road from Mills Road. A second option is to connect to the Town of Sidney sewer trunk currently paralleling the 12 acres along McDonald Park Road.” Councillor Kenny Podmore got a few nods around the table as he voiced his expectation of an extensive report from staff.

Evelyn Marsh, of Marsh Farm on Wallace Drive, picks berries in her organically grown self-serve garden.

Stroll through a stranger’s garden Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Evelyn Marsh is new to the Tour of Farms that will bring visitors to her Wallace Drive garden this weekend. But she’s not new to having strangers stroll through her plants. “We encourage people to walk in our garden, even if they’re not purchasing, just to learn,” Marsh said. “It gives people a chance to see how things grow.” Marsh Farm is a relatively new market farm on the Peninsula. In 1986 Marsh and her husband moved to 10 Mile Point, adopted and raised eight children. They then bought 10 acres on Mount Newton X Road and two years ago they bought the property on Wallace Drive where her husband said Evelyn could do what she wanted with the back section of land.

Three new Coast Guard ships were officially introduced recently — one in Peninsula waters. “Today’s dedication of Canadian Coast Guard Ship Cape Naden is a clear demonstration of our government’s commitment to the Canadian Coast Guard and making sure that our Coast Guard officers have the tools they need to do their job,” said Keith Ashfield — Minister of Fisheries and Oceans and Minister for the Atlantic Gateway. “These new vessels are a great addition to the Coast Guard fleet and are being used extensively for search and rescue operations throughout Canada. The enhanced capabilities of the vessels is now considered the service standard for coastal inshore operations in the Pacific region.” The three new vessels are among five 47-foot motor lifeboats constructed by Victoria Shipyards as part of a $19.6 million contract under Canada’s Economic Action Plan. The other two vessels were delivered to Quebec and Ontario. In BC, the CCGS Cape Palm-

The new vessels replace two older vessels which are being retired from service. “The Cape Class lifeboat design has consistently proven to be highly capable and effective, making it the service standard for coastal inshore operations across Canada,” said Dan Bate, communications officer for Fisheries and Oceans Can-

ada and the Canadian Coast Guard. “Since its introduction, vessels of this design have been used extensively for search and rescue operations at eight of Coast Guard’s 11 stations on the Pacific coast.” The new vessels are designed to operate safely in maximum storm conditions with a continuous wind speed of up to 80 knots and associated seas of up to 12 metres. The vessels are self-bailing and self-righting, allowing for safer operation in rough conditions. editor@peninsulanewsreview. com

Everything is grown organically; Mason bees, lady bugs and sea soil are among her arsenal of growing tools. “It’s your garden. I’m just growing the food for you,” Marsh said she tells visitors who routinely make the trek from Victoria to pick from the beds and greenhouses.

It’s one of the reasons she’s on the Tour of Farms, which includes farms on the Peninsula, Cowichan Valley and Parksville. Just like every day at Marsh Farm, guests are welcome to walk the garden with a basket and pick their own veggies or choose from the fresh-picked produce in the sales barn cooler. “I think it’s good people will find out how stuff is grown and how easy it can be,” Marsh said. Several farms on the tour will have special events and activities for children. Farms will also have plenty of seasonal produce available and the tour includes

He suggested considerations in concessions for affordable housing and in the ongoing discussions over a Mary Winspear Centre and Panorama Recreation Centre merger.

OUR VIEW

Silly season getting closer Halfway through summer, most of us aren’t thinking too much about the fall and this November’s municipal election. But if you’re thinking about running as a candidate, the weeks are running out for you to begin planning your campaign. Judging by recent elections, most municipalities in Greater Victoria are in dire need of more names on the ballot to spark interest among voters. If you care about where you live and want to make a difference in even one aspect of your community, consider putting your name forward as a Now is the time to candidate for council, board or consider running school mayor. in local elections Qualifications are far from onerous. If you’re 18 or older, a Canadian citizen and have lived in B.C. you’re pretty much okay to run. You’ll need to keep track of election-related expenses and contributions and have at least two people willing to nominate you. There are a few other rules to know if you do get serious about running. It’s also a good idea to understand that life can seem crazy once everyone’s on the campaign trail. Traditionally, municipal election season kicks into full-gear after Labour Day. The thinking is that most of us can’t be bothered to ponder the issues affecting our communities when the weather’s warm and we’re busy planning upcoming holidays or invites to backyard barbecues. We’re a little more willing to do our civic duty and tune into local issues once the kids are back in school and summer vacation is behind us. Make no mistake though, savvy politicians know they’ll have to hit the ground running once we return to the routines that signal September’s arrival. If you’ve ever thought about participating in politics, now is the time to make sure you’re ready when the silly season arrives. What do you think?

Travel protected from the unexpected. You may be surprised to learn that medical care outside of B.C. can be very expensive especially in the United States. For example, the average cost of emergency in-patient hospital care in the United States often exceeds $1,000 USD per day, and can even be as high as $10,000 USD per day for intensive care. And since Health Insurance BC (formerly MSP) may cover as little as 10 per cent of the medical expenses you could face when travelling outside TRAVEL B.C., the Ministry INSURANCE of Health Services WITH strongly advises JANELLA buying additional WILSON medical insurance even if you only plan to leave the country for one day.

It’s wise to check the Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada website at www.voyage. gc.ca. Select your destination and the Entry/Exit Requirements section will provide you with the travel insurance requirements. If you have confirmed coverage through your credit card or extended benefits program, be sure to obtain the proper documentation to meet the entry requirements of your destination(s).

Work in Haiti commended Family and friends of Westbay Marina in Esquimalt want to take the time to think of and cheer on one of their own: Maxime WatkinsLenis. Since April, Max has been part of the Haiti reconstruction project as a shelter delegate with the Canadian Red Cross. He is one of a few dedicated humanitarians who has accepted the responsibility and been posted to Haiti to help build shelters for families who have been displaced by the earthquake that decimated the country in January 2010. Max is in charge of Haitian workers, carpenters and beneficiaries who are putting their skills and efforts to have a place that they can call home. Despite the ongoing cholera, violence, the lack of drinking water and facilities, and the poor road conditions, he has built 1,000 shelters in the Jacmel area on the south east of the island. He is determined to build another 1,000 before Christmas. Life in Haiti is very fragile and people are still living in poor conditions. Every day is a struggle for survival for these displaced people. There has not been a week when Max has not witnessed people dying, children suffering of disease or women giving birth in conditions we, B.C. natives, have or may never witness. We are grateful as we approach B.C. Day (Aug. 1) and want to thank all like Max who hear the call to serve humanity, giving their knowledge and compassion to disenfranchised cultures around the world.

taxes for absolutely no benefit. In fact it will have a negative impact on me since I will no longer be able to use transit to go direct to downtown but will have to get off the Sidney bus and wait for a downtown LRT at the Uptown terminal. However if, as a result, I am inconsiderate enough to go downtown by car, the planned reduction of Douglas Street to just two lanes of traffic will make my daily trip 10 minutes longer each way (thus increasing greenhouse gases) and I will still pay double my transit tax. If the Victoria and West Shore residents and businesses do really want an LRT then let them pay for it. In the meantime why aren’t other Peninsula residents and businesses writing to their elected officials and the media to violently object to this proposed huge taxpayer rip-off? Richard D.B.

Restrictions dig into seniors’ pockets The changes to the bus transfers are mean and petty, especially where fixed income seniors are concerned. One-way only travel makes no sense. What does it matter to transit which way passengers travel on the transfer, especially as buses can often travel almost empty? We seniors, who no longer drive, ride the bus, often just on a single errand, so a return on a transfer would not cost the authority, unless the latest move is indeed a transit cash grab. The reduction in time is unkind to those of us who are not as quick as before. This move merely added insult to the one-way travel injury. P. Tim Victoria

Many B.C. residents already have limited travel insurance coverage through their credit card or employer extended benefits program. However, this coverage often doesn’t have a high enough dollar limit or cover you for the number of days per trip you require. Know before you go. Reviewing your travel insurance is increasingly important as some countries are now monitoring travellers’ coverage prior to crossing their borders. In fact, it was recently announced that several European countries are advising travellers to be prepared to show proof of medical coverage and may also impose a minimum coverage requirement.

Travel with peace-of-mind.

If you find that your current coverage is i n a d e q u a t e to completely protect you from the financial devastation an accident or injury could cause, investigate additional coverage like emergency excess medical insurance, to be protected and enjoy peace- of-mind during your travels. Remember to purchase your coverage before leaving B.C. Coverage is available through private insurers, such as BCAA, who offer at least five million dollars in emergency medical coverage. Always carry your declaration page with you when travelling as proof of your insurance coverage. For more information about travel insurance talk to your local BCAA Insurance Agent today. Janella Wilson is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA. She can be reached at janella.wilson@bcaa.com.

Central Saanich Police are looking for the owner of a vehicle after an interesting stop on July 18. An officer in a marked police vehicle was scanning traffic in the 2000 block of Keating X Road around 10:30 p.m. when an older model Honda passed westbound on Keating. A noisy muffler, missing front license plate and burned out lights caught the officer’s attention. When the officer pulled in behind the vehicle to stop the driver, the Honda continued westbound on Keating and turned south on Oldfield Road with the officer following. The driver made a quick left into a parking area and the officer pulled in behind, police said. The driver ran off and the officer stayed with the vehicle. More officers attended and the vehicle was towed until the owner could be located. While doing an inventory of the vehicle, a small quantity of what appeared to be marijuana was discovered. As of NEWS REVIEW deadline the vehicle had not been claimed by the owner.

Novice Warriors stage comeback to return golden Undefeated in tourney play, the Novice Warriors lacrosse team required a comeback to score gold in a Burnaby tournament. The Peninsula Warriors Novice Intermediate team won the Tier 3 gold medal at the 26th annual Jack Crosby Novice All Star Lacrosse Tournament.

The Warriors went undefeated (5-0-1) to claim the Tier 3 gold with a thrilling 14-9 victory over their Island rivals, Saanich Tigers. The gold medal game saw the Warriors erase a 7-5 Saanich lead midway through the game with nine unanswered goals to pull away. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

With Edmonton earning a reputation as the mosquito capital of Canada this summer, race car driver Bill Okell says the only thing he’s itching for at this weekend’s Edmonton Indy is a win. Okell will race his rebuilt 1960s MGB in the July 24 grand touring sports car race, just a few hours ahead of the event’s headline Indy Car race. Throughout Okell’s race the grandstands will fill to as many as 40,000 people. To keep the race fans happy, helicopters will drop anti-mosquito spray across the area. “If anything, it could end up making the track real sticky,” joked Okell. Okell will be joined on the track by Victoria’s Dave Cormier, though Okell’s car is graded GT4 and Cormier’s 2008 Porsche Cup Car is a GT1. They’ll share the track, but their results will be listed in separate standings. Okell is currently fourth in the GTU series points standings out of Mission Raceway, with Saanich’s Ian Mackie in sixth. sports@vicnews.com

Boston beckons Peninsula teen Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Sam Weber is soaking up heat and music experience at Bostonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Berklee College of Music. Every day the recent Stellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grad wakes and walks a mile from the pre-war dorms on Commonwealth Avenue to the main campus on Massachusetts Avenue in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;scorching humidity.â&#x20AC;? Classes in theory, ensemble, musicianship, and courses geared towards the development of each facet of being a musician fill his days in the five-week performance program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Berklee is extraordinary,â&#x20AC;? he said in an interview from Boston. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So far the experience has been vigorous and rewarding. The richness of joining this environment exceeds any describable merit. Not only do we study under remarkable teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who are all exceptional musicians â&#x20AC;&#x201D; weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re constantly surrounded by the most talented cohort of music students in

Amy Elizabeth Kathleen Watts (nee Stuart), known to family and friends as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bettyâ&#x20AC;?, passed away peacefully on July 5, 2011 at Bow View Manor, Calgary, aged 94. A devoted wife, mother and grandmother, Betty loved visiting with friends and family, and also enjoyed gardening, sewing, and reading. She played a spirited game of Scrabble right up until her death. Born in Stettler, Alberta, Betty graduated from Calgary Normal School and taught all grades in country schools for several years during the Depression. In 1939 she married John Herbert Watts (Jack), RCAF, who predeceased her at the age of 92 in 2002. They enjoyed retirement in Sidney BC for many years. Betty is survived by her sister Babs Ferguson of Vancouver, her brother Ian Stuart of Calgary, and three children: John (Melanie) of Peachland, Valerie (Norman) Alton of Calgary, and Elizabeth Watts (Warren Murschell) of Vancouver. She is lovingly remembered by her eight grand children; Lynn, Christine, and John Watts; David, John, and Ken Alton; Amy and Gillian Murschell, and five great grandchildren: Maddie, Niall, Spencer, Dominick and Scott.
