Trades programs are taking off in secondary schools across the Saanich School District and this

month students will have a chance to check out what exactly is being offered to them.

“We’ll have a variety of different par-ticipants from different trades programs

in the district to show students what is available,” said Stelly’s Career Counsel-lor Stu Rhodes.

“We’ll have Grade 12 students who are currently enrolled in programs all the way to students who have recently achieved their Red Seal certification in their chosen trade. They will all come together at Parkland to present their trades and the path they took so other students can see if it is something they

might be interested in.”Rhodes highlighted the fact that the

expo isn’t only for students. “We would really like parents and

community-based employers to con-sider checking the expo out as well so they can see what kind of opportunities the district is offering students,” said Rhodes.

Increase Libido and Energy with Maca! Between work, family, household tasks and the thousand other things you’re responsible for, is “not tonight dear” becoming your motto? Stress often goes hand in hand with a plummeting sex drive. Stress affects your hormones and if they are out of kilter, not only is your sex life affected but it can also lead to adrenal fatigue with the accompanying symptoms of cravings, fatigue, weight gain, poor sleep, moodiness and more…

When you feel stressed your adrenal glands kick into high gear and begin to enlarge. In 2003, Spanish scientists reported in the journal Phytotherapy Research that Peruvian maca can actually shrink overworked adrenal glands.

Ultimate Maca Energy™ provides the nutrients to support your adrenal glands and give you back the energy you need to tackle life and promote a healthy libido. Ultimate Maca Energy is high in B vitamins, amino acids, antioxidants and magnesium. These nutrients provide the support you need to increase energy, relax tense muscles and reduce stress levels.

Look for Ultimate Maca Energy Platinum XP™ liquid and Ultimate Maca Energy in powder or capsules. Each of these has undergone the gelatinization process for the highest potency, optimal absorption and superior results. Ultimate Maca Energy and Ultimate Maca Energy Platinum XP are certified organic and traditionally sundried.

Spot zoning issues keep coming up for North Saanich council, this time a request from a hom-eowner to turn one lot on Amity Drive into two smaller lots to accommodate a new home.

“I’m concerned with spot zoning,” said district councillor Elsie McMurphy, noting its impact could affect the character of local neighbourhoods.

She added the council needs an overall picture of how increased housing density in North Saanich will look.

The district is currently in the process of a public consultation on just that, having held a first open house with consultant Ed Grafone on Jan. 29.

“We need to do it deliberately, with the full pic-ture in mind,” she said, adding rezoning should not happen “in spots” as its overall outcome is unknown.

McMurphy’s opinion on the issue, however, is in the minority on council. Most are of the option that increased density is needed to meet the demand for housing.

Coun. Ted Daily pointed out that the staff report details how this rezoning request will not have a significant impact on the character of the neigh-bourhood.

He also noted that the district’s own official community plan and residential land use regula-tions allow compact urban settlement and com-plies with policies for modest and slow housing growth.

Coun. Craig Mearns noted there have been redevelopments in the area in question already. However, he agreed with McMurphy that there should be a policy in place to limit the size of new structures to ensure they fit in with the neighbour-hood.

Mayor Alice Final added the OCP’s sixth prior-ity is to retain character in neighbourhoods and in her opinion, spot rezoning doesn’t do that. She noted that previous applications of this type were refused on that basis.

Council will give the application a chance to pro-ceed, forwarding it after 5-2 vote to the advisory planning commission for consideration.

Long lines of families waited to get into the Sidney Pier Hotel on Family Day to see a professional Lego builder at work on a five-foot parrot (right).

Family Day in SidneySteven HeywoodNews staff

Thousands of people, mostly families with chil-dren, filled the streets of downtown Sidney on B.C.’s first Family Day, Feb. 11.

The day in Sidney featured a distinct building-block theme, including a professional Lego builder, treasure hunt, museum display and plenty of fun and games at the Mary Winspear Centre’s Sidney-Land.

The Sidney Pier Hotel hosted professional Lego builder Robin Sather, who built a five-foot Lego parrot.

The Sidney Museum on Beacon Avenue helped start the Sidney Lego phenomenon with its annual Lego model display. There, and at the Sidney Pier Hotel, line-ups were long but spirits high among the families waiting to get inside.

Ruby Temple, 2-and-a-half, of Sidney and her dad Scott create some models with Lego building blocks at the Mary Winspear Centre’s SidneyLand on Feb. 11.

The Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre’s octopus mascot gets some curious looks from folks.

John Langrish, a former member of the Victoria Lego Builders group (he still builds, but in Vancouver these days) assists Robin Sather with a five-foot Lego parrot as families look on.

When the Deepwater Horizon drilling platform exploded in 2010, killing 11 people and spewing massive amounts of oil into the Gulf of Mexico, it cost more than $40 billion to mop up the mess. In Canada, an oil company would only be liable for only $30 million, leaving taxpayers on the hook for the rest. That’s just one of a litany of flaws Canada’s environment commissioner identified with the government’s approach to environmental protection.

According to environment and sustainable development commissioner Scott Vaughan, who released a final series of audits before stepping down, the federal government’s failure to protect the environment is putting Canadians’ health and economy at risk.

Vaughan says the government has no real plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and is not even on track to meet its own modest targets (already watered down from the widely accepted emission-levels baseline of 1990 to 2005). It is unprepared for tanker accidents and oil spills in coastal waters. It lacks regulations governing toxic chemicals used by the oil industry.

He noted the federal government does not even require the oil and gas industry to disclose chemicals it uses in fracking, which means there is no way to assess the risks. And despite the fact that Canada has committed to protecting 20 per cent of its oceans by 2020, we have

less than one per cent protected now and are not likely to meet our goal within this century.

“We know that there is a boom in natural resources in this country and I think what we need now – given the gaps, given the problems we found – is a boom in environmental protection in this country as well,” Vaughan told the Globe and Mail. Not dealing with the risks will cause economic losses, he said, as well as damage to

human health and the environment, because it will cost more to clean up problems than prevent them.

This is not coming from a tree-hugging environmentalist, but from the government’s own independent office of the auditor general. It should concern all Canadians.

We have a beautiful country, blessed with a spectacular natural environment and a progressive, caring society. But we can’t take it for granted. Beijing was probably a nicer city when you could breathe the air without risking your life.

Often, the justification for failing to care for the environment is that it’s not economically feasible. It’s not a rational argument – we can’t survive and be healthy ourselves if we degrade or destroy the air, water, soil and biodiversity that make it possible for us to live well.

Vaughan shows the folly of this way of thinking on a more basic level. Beyond the high costs of cleaning up after environmental contamination or disasters, he

notes the government doesn’t even have a handle on some of the financial implications of its policies.

“The government does not know the actual cost of its support to the fossil fuel sector,” he reports. He added it has no idea how much its sector-by-sector approach to greenhouse gas emissions will cost either, even though that was a replacement for the Kyoto Protocol, which the government bailed on, arguing it was too expensive.

The government has also steadfastly refused to consider putting a price on carbon, through a carbon tax and/or cap-and-trade, even though economists point to the ever-growing mountain of evidence that those are effective ways to reduce carbon emissions.

With an expected doubling of fracking wells, from 200,000 to 400,000, and tripling of tanker traffic off the West Coast, we can’t afford such a lax approach. Our prime minister has responded mostly with slogans and platitudes, but others in government say the issues will be addressed. For the sake of our country’s future, we must demand that they keep that promise and recognize the role the environment commissioner has in analyzing Canada’s environmental practices and recommending improvements.

Given our government’s record of ignoring scientific evidence and gutting environmental laws and programs, it will have to do a lot more to convince Canadians that it doesn’t see environmentalists and environmental regulation simply as impediments to fossil fuel development.

Building on family spirit

When it comes to event ticket sales these days, plenty of promoters and organizers — volunteer or paid — cross their fingers and hope there will be enough last-minute crowds to make their endeavours worth while.

That’s just the facts these days, for community events and even holiday travel, and plenty of people do not make up their

minds to go until the last minute. In fact, there has been a shift in how tourism-related businesses plan their year.

Instead of being able to rely on

people who plan trips well in advance and book them as such, more are looking for those last-minute deals.

It can cause plenty of anxiety and uncertainty on the part of event organizers.

Take B.C.’s first Family Day holiday. Come that morning, the SidneyLand event at the Mary Winspear Centre had not sold all of its tickets. By opening time that day, however, they were sold out. Some 1,000 people came out for family fun and games.

Down at the Sidney Pier Hotel, their Lego-building exhibition was a hit, with line-ups down the street in front of the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre.

There must have been a collective sigh of relief when all of those families turned out for the day. It’s also testament to good planning. The organizers and planners hit on a great idea — Lego and the attention it’s getting thanks to the Sidney Museum — and used it to mark the province’s first Family Day with an inexpensive event for the young at heart.

While the organizers might not have known how the day was going to pan out, in the end they made the right choices and it appeared that the people in town for the day really were enjoying themselves.

Family Day helped showcase Sidney as a great place for families.

There must have been a collective sigh of relief when all of those families turned out

New housing won’t be affordable

There is currently considerable pressure on North Saanich council to approve several high density housing proposals.

I think the belief that many Canadians own their own homes is a widespread myth. I fear that far too few own their homes — the banks own them and there are many who suggest Canada is in an unsustainable housing bubble already showing signs of cracking in Vancouver and Toronto.

Although various agencies keep re-assuring us that a U.S.-style meltdown of the housing market won’t happen here, there are equally many organizations stating the level of personal savings is currently lower in Canada than it was when the U.S. housing market melted down.

Possibly we need new collective own-ership strategies for existing housing (such as O.U.R. Ecovillage near Shawni-gan Lake) and support for improving the environmental footprints of existing structures.

I do not believe the proposed high-density housing will be affordable for young people who can only find part-time, minimum wage jobs. A proposal for suites and room and board in exist-ing North Saanich residences seems more appropriate to keeping living space affordable.

Part of the issue is determining whether North Saanich is going to be a bedroom community or a farming com-munity. The developers want us to stop farming — some of them have been very clear on that. I personally believe Can-ada is more desperate for an increase in farmers than it is for an increase in houses.

Similarly, proposals for home-busi-nesses, workshop space, and small busi-nesses would help North Saanich remain sustainable, more than high density housing will.

I think development efforts need to be more focused on quality jobs for young people, rather than housing. Canada

needs real, productive, sustainable jobs — not more housing.

Sacrificing farmland is a bad land use policy

Re: Accommodate rising demand, PNR letters, Jan. 30, 2013.

In his most recent letter, Mr. Brown says land in the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) should be redesigned and made available for residential housing.

I strongly disagree. Of all the lands in the Greater Victoria capital region, only 5.4 per cent still remain in the ALR, accordant to CRD data. The protection of this land is a key objective of our regional growth strategy. Further, a prov-ince-wide Ipsos Reid survey conducted in 2008 indicated 95 per cent support for the ALR and the policy of preserving farmland.

Global trade and economic indicators suggest the era of cheap, imported food is probably over. Information from the United Nations Food Price Index notes “by mid-2008, international food prices had skyrocketed to their highest level in 30 years,” and they remain very volatile. Increasingly, governments at all levels are recognizing the importance of the farming industry.

Sacrificing farmland on the Peninsula to promote further urban sprawl into those areas is, in my view, bad land use policy. It ignores the value of preserving farmland to provide future food supply and security in a rapidly-changing world. There is no reason to believe that simply opening up farmland to market housing developments will produce houses for the price of $360,000, mentioned by the writer.

Provincial legislation enables munici-palities to establish affordable housing policies to direct developers in return for rezoning to higher densities. Experi-ence suggests that this is an effective approach to encouraging genuinely affordable housing projects. However, the majority on North Saanich council has not, to date, supported the adoption

of an affordable housing policy frame-work for the district.

No way to know if you’re buying GM food

Re: GM crops not a big concern, PNR letters, Feb. 1.

Your reader suggests consumers inform themselves and use their money for real food. For decades informed consumers have fought the battle to require geneti-cally modified food be labeled. And have lost. How do these uninformed consum-ers referred to know whether or not the food they purchase has been genetically engineered?

It is disingenuous to say don’t buy it. There is no way to know you are buying it.

Housing, farmland threats and GM foodsReaders respond:

Boutique agriculture at best

I just want to take the opportunity to thank you for your commentary on the ongoing ridiculous housing debate in North Saanich.

North Saanich is a very incom-plete community and the development applications in front of council attempt to begin to address that by offering dif-ferent forms of housing. With those dif-ferent forms will bring different types of people from different walks of life.

Mr. Harrison’s comment is reflective of a small vocal minority in this community who don’t represent my family’s opinion. I am a 35 year old professional who was privileged enough to be able to afford the least expensive house in North Saan-ich in 2011 ($500,000).

I feel privileged to live in North Saan-ich but in all of the places I have lived in my young life, I find North Saanich the most incomplete. For Mr. Harrison to make the statement that those who

work out this way should live in other communities is indicative of the wishes of the mayor and two council members and at the very least is a tremendously underwhelming argument against densi-fication.

I grew up on the prairies and if North Saanich thinks it is a true agricultural area, just go to any major centre in Sas-katchewan or Manitoba, drive an hour outside of the city limits and you will see what true agricultural community looks and feels like. And guess what, some of these small towns with populations of 500 or less have these strange buildings called “apartments” and houses are on small lots.

North Saanich is a boutique farming community at best and I would haz-ard a guess that less than 10 per cent of its population exists on the income from agriculture. I could be wrong but it would be an interesting study on how

many people within North Saanich are directly employed by agriculture.

Further to that I guess Mr. Harrison has never heard of global warming and climate change or has never spent over an hour crawling along a poorly designed transportation corridor to get home. The pollution created by the daily commute alone should be reason enough to rationalize developing these properties. The last time I checked, these proposed developments are in areas that are adjacent to areas of den-sity in another jurisdiction (Sidney).

There are several areas within our municipal borders which can be densi-fied while still maintaining the look and feel of this community.

Again thank you for providing some balance on what should not be a polariz-ing issue within the community.

On Feb. 11, Central Saanich firefighters responded to a call of a fire in the lobby of the apartment complex at the corner of Mount Newton X Road and Lochside Drive.

Police were called to the scene when fire-fighters discovered a stack of phone books in

the lobby of the apart-ment complex had been intentionally lit on fire.

Sidney North Saan-ich RCMP were in the area on another call and responded quickly to the scene to assist in evacuating residents.

“There was a lot of smoke damage in the lobby but thankfully this was one of those cases where the situa-tion was under control before anything worse happened,” said Cen-tral Saanich Police Cor-poral Pat Bryant.

“The potential for something bigger to have happened was definitely there.”

Bryant commended the Sidney North Saan-ich RCMP and the fire department for their quick response and noted that the investi-gation into the arson is ongoing.

“If anyone has any information we’re ask-ing that they contact us at 250-652-4441,” said Bryant.

• On Feb. 9, RCMP were called to the Mary Winspear Centre based on reports of an intoxicated patron. Officers arrived and found that an intoxi-cated man had assaulted secu-rity staff who were attempting to remove him from the prop-erty. The man was arrested at

the scene for assault and being intoxicated in a public place.

• RCMP were advised of a

possible intoxicated driver in the area of Mount Newton X Road on Feb. 12.

The vehicle was located and the male driver was asked to provide breath samples.

After failing the roadside screening, the man, who was also found to be in breech of conditions to abstain from alco-hol, was issued a 90-day imme-

diate roadside prohibition and his vehicle was impounded for 30 days.

Central Saanich Police Service

• Five thefts from locked vehi-cles in the Saanichton area over-night between Feb. 7 and 8 were

reported to police.

• Two excessive speeders were taught a hard lesson last week. One driver, a 22-year-old man, was caught doing 145 km/h in an 80 km/h zone on the Pat Bay Highway on Feb. 9. He was issued with a ticket for $368 as well as a having his vehicle impounded for 7 days.

On Feb. 10, a man from Col-wood was stopped doing nearly 130 km/h in the same 80 km/h zone. He was also issued an

excessive speeding ticket and had his vehicle impounded.

• A driver who sped past a Central Saanich Police officer on the Pat Bay Highway on Feb. 10 was stopped and was sub-sequently found to be under the influence of alcohol while he was behind the wheel.

The man, who blew two warns on the roadside screening device, was given a three-day immediate roadside prohibition.

Police issue tickets in multiple intoxicated incidents


There are no more free armbands for walk-ers in Sidney, but the man who sparked the campaign to get them on the streets is happy with how the community responded.

Town councillor Kenny Podmore was behind the effort to get the reflective arm-bands on local pedestrians. And, almost as quickly as he found the armbands to give away, they were gone. In fact, he said it took only two weeks for the 900 items to be snatched up (not to mention another 200 that were given away by the District of North Saanich).

He said the Town and RCMP, who were partners in the effort with ICBC, even found some extra money to buy more. Those van-ished just as fast.

Podmore launched the Glow As You Go campaign to make pedestrians more visible on dark streets, sidewalks and crosswalks — as one way to prevent collisions with

vehicles. Awareness of the issue was his other goal, as there had been a few pedes-trian-vehicle crashes in the Capital region leading up to last month’s launch.

“I think this says there are a lot of people who walk and were perhaps not aware of the dangers,” he said. “It has raised people’s awareness of the issues.”

Thanks to media coverage and social media, the town’s effort attracted the atten-tion of the City of Kamloops. Town execu-tive assistant Paula Kully said she was con-tacted by a Kamloops city employee, asking about the program. Kully said she was able to share Sidney’s experience and how it became an safety awareness campaign.

Podmore added he didn’t expect how positive the response was from the commu-nity. He noted many of the free armbands disappeared prior to the official launch.

Its popularity means Podmore would like to run the program again, but not until after the summer and if he can win the support of the same sponsors.

A gala event being held this month in Sidney will raise funds for the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre (SODC).

Tiger Lily Events and Sidney Meet Up have teamed up to host the Sea of Love fundraiser eve-ning on Thursday, Feb. 28 with all the proceeds from the event going to support the not-for-profit SODC and the programs it offers to children and youth.

“We really aim to support local groups and organizations,” said Sidney Meet Up member Cheryl Young.

“We also want to help bring people out to Sidney and show-case what our town has to offer, including great attractions like the Shaw Ocean Discovery Cen-tre.”

Young noted that many peo-ple don’t realize that the SODC operates as a not-for-profit orga-nization.

“Some people have a miscon-ception that because they have the Shaw name attached to them, that the centre gets funding from them on an ongoing basis, but they don’t,” Young said.

SODC Innovations Advance-ment specialist Christina Smethurst said Shaw was instru-mental in getting the Centre started but, while the company still helps with some promotion, the Centre doesn’t get any ongo-ing financial contributions.

“They were very generous in their funding for the establish-ment of the centre but our day to day costs are covered by admission fees and donations,” explained Smethurst.

The event, which is being

held inside the SODC, will fea-ture a silent and live auction with pieces from local artists like Craig Benson, Taryn Brown, Chris Paul and Wendy Picken. One hundred per cent of the pro-ceeds from the auction are going to the SODC.

There will also be appetizers, wine tasting by Muse Winery and beer tasting by Vancouver Island Brewery and speeches by Green Party MLA candidate Adam Olsen, SODC Executive Direc-tor Angus Matthews and TIDES Group founder, Steve Duck.

“It will be a fun night all about supporting one of our local orga-nizations,” said Young.

Tickets for the event are $30 and are available by calling 250-516-7653 or visiting www.sid-neymeetup.com.

To try to keep his costs down, developer Gary Lunn says he’s going back to square

one on his property at 9395 East Saanich Road.

Citing the cost of a planned sewer service expansion at the prop-erty, Lunn announced

at the District of North Saanich’s Feb. 4 council meeting that he wants to revert to the original plans for the site. Those plans were presented to council in July, 2012. That means eliminat-ing the lanes within the proposed development of up to 40 homes. That also means no access for laneway — or sec-ondary — housing, something that Lunn had earlier indicated he wanted to drop as well.

Lunn said there were two options for extend-ing sewer service to the property — the devel-opers building and pay-ing for it outright, or creating a local service area that would pay for it through a parcel tax over an extended time frame.

“We have chosen the first option,” Lunn said. “We will pay the cost of sewer service at the property. Eliminating

the lanes reduces the costs.”

He indicated he also wants to keep the house prices at $400,000.

The estimated cost to provide municipal sewer service is $50,000 per lot.

As well, Lunn said he’ll be paying around $27,500 per lot for ame-nity fees negotiated with the district. Fac-ing those added costs, Lunn said he was look-ing for other ways to keep the developers’ costs low.

“We are trying to move this project for-ward,” he said, “and we feel this is the best way to proceed.”

Reverting to an ear-lier design involves re-negotiating sewer costs, said Director of Planning and Commu-nity Services Mark Bro-drick.

He noted staff were planning to meet with

the developers to work out the details. He added the project remains in the planning stage with no need for further direction from council, as staff will rework an amenity deal and other details.

“Staff has approached this file as a priority,” Brodrick said, noting due to ongoing changes by both the developers and the council, the project has constantly been reworked.

Mayor Alice Finall noted that these changes along the way have led to added time on the file, but agreed with Councillor Craig Mearns that council favoured a non-laneway option.

New options and agreements will be pre-sented to council fol-lowing staff meeting with the developers.

Developer revises plan to reduce costs


The three pillars of Parkland Sec-ondary School are health, motivation and responsibility, and this week the school will be aiming its focus exclu-sively on healthy living.

“We are spending all of next week focusing on the healthy aspect of our school and students,” said Parkland Vice-Principal, Lizanne Chicanot.

“Choices that our students make now will set them up for the rest of their lives and having a healthy mind and body is a foundation of good living.”

To give students a broad range of topics to focus on during the week, Chicanot said that there will be dif-ferent activities.

“We have guest speakers coming in all week long as well as different activities like yoga,” Chicanot said, adding that one of the speakers the school is most excited for is local athlete Lucy Smith.

“Lucy is a world-class triathlete and long distance runner and we have her coming on Tuesday to speak to all the Grade 9 and 10s about how important a healthy active lifestyle is and how it has helped her in her life,” Chicanot said.

The health-centered week will cul-minate with spirit assembly and a health fair on Friday in the school’s gym. The fair will feature dozens of different booths dedicated to mul-tiple aspects of healthy living. Stu-dents will have the chance to cycle through and learn about different healthy-living practices.

“With the way we live today, in a society that is focused heavily on things like sitting in front of a com-puter, we have to go out of our way to deliberately inject activity and healthy habits into our lifestyle,” explained Chicanot.

“We keep health and the concept of healthy living on the front burner at the school for that reason.”

SPORTSPanthers to face CougarsDevon MacKenzieNews staff

The Peninsula Panthers took on the Oceanside Generals last Friday night in a game that didn’t quite turn out as they had expected.

The Panthers played solidly in the first two periods and led the game 2-0, but things quickly turned around in the third period when the Gen-erals’ Michael Fretz put his team on the board by scoring three unanswered goals. At the end of the third, Oceanside took the win 3-2.

“I thought our kids played hard and smart for the most part, but then in just a couple minutes we made several mistakes that cost the game,” said Panthers Coach Brian Passmore.

“It really is a pretty simple game, limit your mis-takes if you want to win. We’ll be playing the Vic-toria Cougars in the first round of playoffs and we have to limit our mistakes if we want to win that series. We just can’t give up easy goals, we have to make teams earn the ones that they get.”

Before starting the first round of playoffs against the Cougars next week, the Panthers host the Kerry Park Islanders in their final regular season home game tonight (Friday) during Panthers Fan Appreciation Night.

The evening will feature the players coming out into the lobby at Panorama Recreation Centre dur-ing the first intermission to sign autographs for the young fans in attendance. The puck is set to drop at 7:30 p.m.

It was a close final on Saturday, Feb. 9 accord-ing to team supporter Harry Bisjak. The Panthers scored two wins in the tourney to reach the final against Surrey Christian. Bisjak called it a defen-sive matchup.

Megan Rebneris, Nicole Beaulac and Sarah Philion all competed in the Star 2 category in dif-ferent groups with Rebneris and Philion bring-ing home silver performance ribbons and Beaulac bringing home a bronze.

Emma Collins and Madey Harrison competed in the Star 3A and 3B categories both bringing home bronze ribbons in their respective events and Alex Carmichael competed in the Star 4 13-plus cat-egory and placed fifth.

Saffron Hilder brought home a gold medal in the pre-juvenile women U14 event, Victoria Henderson placed second in women’s gold free skate, Megan Keating placed seventh in senior bronze women’s free skate and Gillian MacDonald placed 12th.

In the interpretive events, Madey Harrison brought home a gold medal in pre-introductory interpretive, Saffron Hilder brought home a bronze in silver interpretive and Gillian MacDonald fin-ished fifth in gold interpretive.
