Festivities underway around towntomorrow and SundayDevon MacKenzieNews staff
Sidney Days are here! The Town of Sidney will be acknowledging Canada’s birthday in its usual fashion with fun, food and fireworks this weekend.
Kicking off the celebration on Saturday, June 30 is the Thrifty Foods community barbecue in Beacon Park from 4 to 6 p.m. Money raised from the sale of food goes to the Sidney Lions food bank.
Following the barbecue is the big cake cutting and live musical performance by Soul 62 at Beacon Park. The eve-ning will be wrapped up in the usual way with the Town of Sidney’s fireworks extravaganza; keep your ears open for the new addition of musical accompaniment this year.
Sunday, July 1 begins with the annual Sidney Days 5 km fun run and walk, and the 2 km youth run, put on by the Peninsula Track and Field Club. Registration is at 6:45 a.m. at the Mary Winspear Centre and the race starts at 8 a.m.
The race is followed by the Sidney Kiwanis pancake breakfast at the Mary Winspear Centre. Fill up with flap-jacks at 9 a.m. before hitting the annual Sidney Days parade which starts at 11 a.m.
The parade route begins at the corner of Beacon Ave-nue and Resthaven Drive and travels through town.
For more fun after the parade, head over to Iroquois Park for the Family Fun Fair. The fair features activities, entertainment, games and even road hockey tournaments where children will be able to play against local firefight-ers and police officers. Sidney’s Pet Centre and Aquatics presents a dog show at 1:30 p.m. at the park. Bring your furry friend and compete for best trick, best dressed and best look-alike.
Anytime after noon, observe the Slegg Lumber Build-a-Quick-Boat contest at Beacon Park. Watch teams com-pete to build the best boat without power tools and on a limited budget. The makeshift boats take to the water at 4:45 p.m.
Anyone who can’t make it to Sidney Days can go to the town’s website at www.sidney.ca and click on the web cam link. The cameras capture new images every 15 seconds.

Left too fast pits car versus motorbike
Central Saanich police responded to a collision between a pick up truck and motorcycle on Monday, June 25 at 7 p.m.
The incident occurred at Benvenuto Drive and West Saanich Road when the driver of the truck was mak-ing a left. The 17-year-old Central Saanich driver lost control, crossed the centre line on West Saanich and hit the motorcyclist who was waiting at the red light.
No injuries were reported and the male driver was charged with speed too fast for the road conditions.
New driver’s foot slips in rear-ender
A minor collision at the corner of Mount Newton X Road and Highway 17 saw a young man slapped with three Motor Vehicle Act infractions.
At 10:30 a.m. on Fri-day, June 22 officers were called to the scene where a 19-year-old Colwood man said his foot slipped off the brake and onto the acceler-ator, causing his car to col-lide with the vehicle in front.
The man was ticketed for failing to produce his driver’s licence, failing to display his N and failing to make a safe start from a stop position.
Seeing double in two liquor thefts
Two thefts from the Metro Liquor Store in Brentwood have Central Saanich police investigating.
On Thursday, June 21 at 3:30 p.m. two male sus-pects entered the store and as one distracted the clerk, the other made off with two bottles of hard liquor.
The next day at the same time, a single male fitting the description of one of the suspects entered the store, picked up the same type of hard liquor and took off on foot. Police have identified suspects using video sur-veillance footage.
New society funded to research business models for Sidney merchantsErin CardoneNews staff
A group of Sidney businesses will spend their summer examin-ing ways to boost the town’s econ-omy.
“There was some general agree-ment [among merchants] that the economy … had negative impacts on Sidney business growth,” Cliff McNeil-Smith, owner of Tanner’s Books and the Children’s Book-store told council Monday.
McNeil-Smith is a member on the board of the Sidney Business Development Group, a society of about 25 business members that
is an offshoot of the Sidney Mer-chants’ Co-op. The co-op formed last fall with the hopes of pro-moting the town’s businesses in the face of a proposal to build a large commercial centre in Central Saanich.
The Sidney Business Develop-ment Group’s pitch to council Monday ties in with a branding strategy for the town, launched by the Shaw Ocean Discovery Cen-tre’s Angus Matthews and the Sid-ney Pier Hotel’s Lisa Makar last year.
“How does something like this get lifted off the ground,” McNeil-Smith said of the branding push. “It sounds like it’ll take some ini-tiatives, some money to lift it off the ground.”
So after Mayor Larry Cross set aside $60,000 in the town’s budget for economic development, the group established its pitch.
The group plans to deliver data on various economic develop-ment models, ideas for partner-ships with other business groups, such as the chamber, and poten-tial funding models to the Town of Sidney by mid September.
They also hope to assemble a full feasibility study by the end of November.
Among the models to explore is a business improvement associa-tion, which has regained momen-tum among some merchants this year.
“I think the end goal is most of the people involved now have a sense we need to be able to pro-mote ourselves better. What’s the best way to do that,” said McNeil-Smith. “There’s a sense we needed to come together anyway to reach our full potential.”
Sidney council on Monday unanimously approved $18,500 in
funding for the [email protected]
POLICE NEWSIN BRIEF
Who’s involvedThe Sidney Business Development Group has a board of seven members who stem from the Sidney Merchants’ Co-op.The Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce is in support of the group’s endeavours for a feasibility study.“The [Sidney Business Association] has a role in the community. What it does primarily is run our summer market,” McNeil-Smith said. “Unfortunately the SBA leadership has rebuffed our invitations [to be involved]. But the door’s always open.”
Possible BIA part of biz group’s study
“I was at Parkland during the time they had the Grassroots Theatre program,” Warner explained. “I saw the production the Miracle Worker that they did and one character got to throw food during the performance. I thought that was pretty cool then and I was pretty much hooked.”
After graduating from high school, Warner studied at Georgian College in Ontario which spurred on his love for acting.
He also took a job with the crew that did technical setup for a Bryan Adams concert which led him to work in the stage technician field.
“[When] I started doing stage tech work I got to work with bands like Trooper, Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd,” Warner said.
Eighteen years ago, Warner moved his family to Baton Rouge and in 2010 he resurrected his acting career.
“It’s been a crazy couple of years,” Warner said. “I’ve done close to 65 movies. I have 10 movies coming out next year. This is a crazy time for me now because the movies I filmed two years ago are coming out now. It’s the calm before the storm.”
And it’s not just movies that Warner is acting in. Recently he also had a part in the Red Hot Chili Peppers’ latest music video for their new song “Brendan’s Death Song.”
“That song is going to be huge,” said Warner. “The band wrote the song for their manager
who passed away so it’s really emotional.”Warner still has many ties here on the Penin-
sula and attributes his success in the business to what he learned here.
“Victoria, and really Sidney and Parkland
played a big role in my life,” said Warner, who still reads Monday Magazine from Baton Rouge. “It’s really what got me into the entertainment business.”

I would like to send a huge bouquet to the staff at Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse. My mother recently visited and with the weather so poor we struggled to find things to do. After a bit of telephone tag Gabrielle, Lindsey and Terrence treated us to a spectacular luncheonette, farm tour and a peek at the cider production area. The food was superb and the views fabulous.
The staff at Sea Cider are among the best and bright-est I have encountered. Congratulations and thanks for
giving us both a very memorable afternoon.

Thank you to the lovely person who sent an anony-mous letter to our coffee shop (Alexander’s) thanking us for our community service, our support of the local art-ists, our customer service and for providing a cozy atmo-sphere. You have no idea how much this means to us to hear this and we deeply appreciate it.
We open our doors, as do many businesses each day, with a wish for a good day. Not all days go smoothly but most importantly, my staff and I make the effort to pro-vide a refuge of sorts to our wonderful customers who have supported us for 19 years.
To know that someone feels we are making a differ-ence, and I think I speak for many small businesses in our community who do the same, means the world to us. Thank you for your very kind words, you raised our spir-its up a notch today.

Sidney’s support of business development gets notice
On behalf of the newly formed Sidney Business Development Group, I would like to sincerely express appreciation to mayor and council for their support by approving a request for funding to create a business development plan for Sidney.
Earlier this year our mayor stated how important it is for the business community to come together and work towards a common goal to promote our town, then mayor and council allotted an economic development fund within their budget to support initiatives that aid in the promotion of the community.
This organization represents a range of retail merchants, professional services, accommodations, restaurants and attractions, and has a clear purpose to identify potential business development models that will bring collaboration to the promotion of our community. Parts of the process will be to seek out success stories from similar communities and to learn the needs of property owners and business operators within our town. The group has support from the Community Development Commission, the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, the
Sidney Merchants’ Co-op and now with gracious support from mayor and council we can create and implement a customized, collaborative action plan that encompasses all the wonderful features of Sidney.

We need that proposed overpass at Beacon Avenue
At the intersection of Beacon Avenue and the Pat Bay Highway, many traffic accidents occur – it is reportedly in the top three of the most dangerous intersections on the Peninsula.
An overpass was proposed at that intersection, but opposition killed it.
As a result an overpass was constructed at Wain Road and the Pat Bay Highway.
Are those who opposed the intersection being situated on Beacon Avenue indemnifying the damage?
Alex SalieNorth Saanich
And in CS, pedestrians forced into battle with traffic
I crossed Mount Newton X Road on
East Saanich as a pedestrian twice in one day walking to and from the post office. I was almost hit both times by cars whose drivers do not seem to understand that pedestrians have the right of way.
A pedestrian should never have to share their lane with an automobile while they are in a crosswalk. To be fair one driver waved at me as she almost hit me, I suppose if one is hit by a car it will feel better laying in the hospital bed if it was a “friendly” hit.
From a pedestrian perspective the intersection is probably the worst one in the three municipalities. Actually Central Saanich has the distinction of being by far the least pedestrian friendly municipality compared to North Saanich and Sidney. Repeated concerns have been filed with the police in Central Saanich and the police still do nothing to control the intersection.
The reason can not be they don’t have the resources as it costs twice as much to police Central Saanich than either Sidney or North Saanich.
The police attitude to pedestrians in Central Saanich is no better than the Central Saanich municipal staff who almost appear to be encouraging vehicles to park on some of the nearly constructed walking paths along East Saanich.
It may surprise staff, but the money provided by the senior levels of government for the construction was for pedestrians and cyclists (healthy communities), not for overflow parking for multi-car families.

Laws against drinking drivers still not tough enough
Again and again, we see teens expressing their sadness at losing a friend because of someone drinking and driving. There is always piles of flowers to express their grief at the site and lots of nice words about the one killed. But is it not time they learned you cannot drink and drive?
It is hard to fathom why the province continues to make drinking and driving easier to do.
Fines need to be harsher. Instead, it’s only a slap on the wrist. The public will never learn, unless this government gets tough with drinking drivers every day of the week. Very few drinking drivers are getting the message.
Stop drinking drivers with tougher laws.Eileen Nattrass

MAKING A DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY SPORTS
Richard HydeContributor
Monday brought the end of an amazing sea-son for the Peninsula Minor Baseball Associa-tion’s mosquito Red Sox. They won the Greater Victoria Baseball Association City Championships in their division after taking the park champion-ship against Esquimalt Green Hornets and then beating Triangle team in the city semifinals.
Peninsula lost the toss and were playing on home turf, so were the visiting team for the game. Some thought this a bad omen for the team, but destiny would prove this not to be the case.
Peninsula faced the Gordon Head Grenades in the final game at Rotary Park. The Red Sox got off to a shaky start with just one run in the top of the first. Then the enormity of the task of pitching was on the shoulders of opening pitcher Brennan Wil-liams. Gordon Head proceeded to load the bases and run in the limit of four runs. Williams was vis-ibly upset leaving the mound at the bottom of the first with the score at 4-1 for Gordon Head.
The Red Sox then answered back with three runs of their own in the top of the second and Williams settled back into his normal groove and struck out Gordon Head to tie the game 4-4.
It was a tight game until the end. Up for the final bat of the game, Gordon Head started well with their opening batter stealing his way around for one run.
Peninsula’s head coach Dave Harris conferred with his assistants and decided to change Gur-vir Baidwan for closing pitcher and the current catcher Rhys Hill. He threw just seven balls at two batters – six of them strikes.
“It was fun from the start [of the season] and after winning the park championship it got better,” Harris said. “All the kids contributed night after night with big hits and great plays in the field, along with the great attitudes of them all we were able to bring the City Championship trophy to the Peninsula for the first time ever at this level.”
This Red Sox team is the first Peninsula team to make it to the City Championships and win it.

UVic student leads university cricket tournament
Travis PatersonNews staff
Where Ram Meyyappan goes, so does cricket.
There are few greater advo-cates for the game than Meyy-appan, a 25-year-old bachelor of math and commerce student at the University of Victoria. The world’s second most popular sport has followed him from
Chennai, India, to Victoria, and he’s behind the game’s revival as a university sport.
He started a school team when he arrived at Malaspina College in 2006 which played a couple of matches against a club from UBC. He did it again when he enrolled at UVic in 2009, and this weekend the club team is hosting its first university-level tournament.
It’s not the first university cricket club in town, but it’s the first in a long time.
“Once when I got [to the Island], I kept track of the sport [back home] through the Inter-
net and I missed playing and watching [live]. With enough interest at UVic, I figured, why not have a club there?”
Visiting this weekend are club teams from the University of Fraser Valley, Kwantlen Poly-technic University and the Uni-versity of Calgary.
They’ll play a round robin tourney at Beacon Hill Park and Windsor Park, with matches at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday (July 1) and Monday, with the top two teams facing each other in Monday’s final, 2 p.m. at Bea-con Hill.

More than a year after the first shovels hit the dirt, the fully revamped Iroquois Park will open tomorrow.
“I’m biased, but it’s absolutely beautiful,” said Coun. Kenny Podmore.
Tomorrow, June 30, the Town of Sidney hosts an official open-ing ceremony for the park, emceed by Podmore. The new park includes a water spray park, a change room and washrooms, sports court, putting green, a refurbished pond with waterfalls and walkways. The Sidney Lions food bank relocated to the park property last year.
Work on the site began in April 2011 with a budget of $2.9 mil-lion, including government con-tributions from Ottawa and the
province of just over $750,000. About a month after the ground-breaking ceremony, Sidney council of the day cut back on the budget, eliminating $400,000 in costs.
Tomorrow, Mayor Larry Cross will lead a procession of local mascots into the park at 10:45 a.m. and speeches by federal and provincial dignitaries start at 11. Then 13 Sidney elemen
tary students will be the first ones to test out the water spray park. There will also be games by Sidney Rotary Club on hand, music and a Sidney Lions Club concession stand.
The park’s namesake, SS Iro-quois, sank on April 10, 1911. The steamship left dock in Sid-ney and 15 minutes later took on water, taking 10 souls with [email protected]
Iroquois Park reopens after year of improvements
The SS Iroquois leaves the dock in Sidney. Iroquois sank in 1911, taking 10 lives. The Sidney park reopening tomorrow is named after the ship to commemorate those who died. Its original propeller stands near the park.

It’s nearly time to brag about the loveliness of Sidney.
Starting Sunday, July 1, the Sidney Sister Cities Association’s 2013 calendar will hit the stands, including photographs of the town sent in by resi-dents.
Last year’s calendar sold 850 copies. This year, the group hopes to sell 1,200.
The calendar is available at many book stores and other retailers in Sidney. Proceeds benefit the Sidney Sister Cities Association.

Just a few pieces are missing from the puzzle that could bring the 2014 Juno Awards to Greater Victoria.
Sidney agreed to contribute $1 per resident, or around $12,000 to the push at its council meeting Monday. Sidney is the 12th of the Capital region’s 13 munic-ipalities to promise money for the bid.
Sooke remains a missing link in the equation. Its council has offered a letter of support for the cause in principle, but
hasn’t offered any financial aid.As of Monday, the Capital Region
Music Awards Society has $427,000 of the $450,000 it needs to move ahead with its bid for the awards, proposed for March or April 2014.
The province offered a grant of $50,000 to round out the $500,000 required to submit a bid to the Canadian Acad-emy of Recording Arts and Sciences to become the host city. The 2014 host city is expected to be announced sometime this fall.
The B.C. government also offered an
extra $1.5 million, should Victoria’s bid be successful, to host the awards.
Chris Coleman from the Capital Region Music Awards Society said the plan is to celebrate the Junos with lead-up events over the next two years if successful, plus have 10 days to two weeks of music-themed events around the awards.
The majority of performances would be centred at the Save-On-Foods Memo-rial Centre, with family-oriented festivi-ties planned for the Mary Winspear Cen-tre.

A new shuttle service on the Peninsula has local attractions hoping to see bigger tourist numbers over the summer.
The Peninsula Attractions Connector, which launched on Wednesday, June 27, is a partner-ship between the Saanich Peninsula Chamber of Commerce, Sea Cider Farm and Ciderhouse, Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre, Victoria Butterfly Gar-dens and the Butchart Gardens.
“It’s just fantastic,” said Kristin Jordan, owner of Sea Cider. “It’s really the culmination of two years of a lot of work, a lot of volunteer time, a lot of hours, a lot of ideas on the table and a great part-nership.”
The shuttle service is being run by CVS Cruise
Victoria who operate their fleet using a bio-diesel fuel blend.
For $9.95 the shuttle will take visitors from B.C. Ferries on select schedules and Washington State Ferries to Butchart’s, Butterfly Gardens, Sea Cider, the Ocean Discovery Centre and Tanner’s Books.
Riders can upgrade to an Attractions Pass for $29.95 and receive admission to any two experi-ences of Butterfly Gardens, Sea Cider tasting or Shaw Ocean Discovery and ride the connector shuttle for free. Include all three attractions for only $10 more, or add Butchart’s for $29.60.
The shuttle will run daily in the peak tourism season of July and August. Day trippers can link to the Peninsula Attractions Connector from down-town Victoria. Visit www.attractionsconnector.com for more information.

Passengers wait to board the new Peninsula Attractions Connector at Swartz Bay ferry terminal. A group of businesses funded the daily shuttle.

Teen hopes to share history of his people’s sport
Erin CardoneNews staff
When Landon Underwood came across a movie he identi-fied with, he figured it was some-thing worth sharing.
“It seems pretty inspirational,” he said.
The 13-year-old lacrosse fanatic stumbled across a trailer for Crooked Arrows, a newly released film about lacrosse with a strong local connection and told his dad, Pauquachin chief Bruce Underwood about it.
The teen couldn’t find any cin-emas playing the movie locally so his dad encouraged him to take action.
“It wasn’t anywhere in Victo-ria, it was only in Vancouver,” Landon said. He went to see Sandy Oliver at Star Cinema.
“I asked if she could bring in Crooked Arrows.”
And she did.“I think it’s pretty cool,”
Landon said.The film is
scheduled to start screening Friday, July 6 and could run for about a week.
“These are our lovely commu-nity members and they’ve been supportive of us for years,” Oliver said. “There are films that speak to individuals and communities [and] that’s what we’re here for.”
And there’s that local tie-in.Gary Gait, known as the best
lacrosse player of all time with his twin, Paul, is featured in the film. Gait played for the Penin-sula Warriors and attended Cla-remont secondary school. He played for the Victoria Sham-rocks before starring in the
National Lacrosse League, Major League Lacrosse and the Cana-dian national team. Gait has been inducted into the United States
Lacrosse National Hall of Fame and the National Lacrosse League Hall of Fame.
Landon plays centre for the Pen-insula Warriors bantam A1 team.
“He’s never seen a lacrosse movie before,” Bruce said of his son. “I
think also just to highlight the fact that he’s always inspired by other people doing well and he’s always trying to do his best.”
Landon said he hopes the film will inspire others, as well as teach them the origins of lacrosse and its roots in First Nations culture.

Selling or buying a new house can be a
complicated process and involves a lot of planning - and often a little ingenuity, too. Considering the size of the investment you have made in your house, it’s worth your while to take the time to learn how to protect it and yourself. Here are some tips to get you started:
Show your house in its
best light.
Your house might be competing against others in the area, so you’ll want to give yourself every possible advantage. A clean house makes a good impression and shows that the house has been well looked after. It’s what buyers want to see. A fresh coat of paint and some light decor can revitalize the interior and make it attractive and appealing. It presents a positive image of your house and can help make for a successful sale.
Stay informed about
housing market conditions.
Do your research and learn what factors affect the housing market and the prices in the neighbourhood. Understand how they would apply to your house, either buying or selling it. Scan the news, real estate magazines, the Internet and any other related resources. It’s also beneficial to consult with industry professionals; mortgage brokers and realtors can advise and assist you with pricing, market conditions, financial processes and legal requirements.
Confirm that your insurance
coverage is current.
If you’re having an open house, ensure your home and
possessions are protected. Safely store valuables whenever you are having people passing through the house in your absence, and confirm that your insurance is both valid, and provides proper coverage for your house, personal belongings and liability.
Protect your new home.
Securing insurance for the home is usually a requirement with mortgages, so plan ahead and be prepared. Having the following information will ensure a smoother process:
of your home
and dates any updates were completed
plumbing systems in your new home
history
Buying or selling is a big step, so be sure to do it right

Bonds and bond funds have long been the cornerstone investments of the fixed-income portion of Canadians’ investment portfolios. For several decades, bond holdings have delivered reliable returns – with very few years showing negative results. Over the past decade in particular, bond holdings on average have annually outperformed equities by several percentage points.
So why worry? Will this stellar performance not continue into the future? To answer these questions, we must first understand the reason for the bond sector’s most recent superior performance.
Over the past decade, interest rates have steadily and dramatically declined. Today, they sit at historic lows. Since bond values move in the opposite direction to interest rates, their capital values have increased. When added to the annual interest paid, this substantial increase in value has greatly enhanced the bond investor’s total annual return.
Looking forward, the emerging risk to bond holdings is the absolute certainty that interest rates will rise. The only question is when and how significantly. As interest rates increase, bond values will decline; those with longer-term maturities will suffer the most.
If an investor holds high-quality individual bonds to their maturity, he should, regardless of intervening rate increases, recover all invested capital. However, should the bonds be sold prior to maturity, a significant capital loss could be the result. Bond funds, comprised of many individual
bonds, each with a different term, may, since they do not have a fixed maturity date,
present even greater risk.
Should we then retreat from such investments over the next decade? Not at all. But we must be mindful not only of the emerging risk, but also take steps to minimize it.
Buying individual bonds and holding them to maturity is one strategy. It is
difficult however, to achieve broad enough diversification with just a few bonds. Bond funds such as low-cost, exchange-traded bond funds may, if carefully chosen, be the answer.
One strategy to consider: the purchase of a laddered bond ETF comprised of a collection of bonds with one- to five-year staggered maturities. Available in both the corporate and government bond sectors, such ETFs may hold 30 or more individual bonds. The 20 per cent of bond holdings within the ETF which expire each year are replaced by new five-year term bonds. The investor is therefore much less exposed to capital-value losses as rates increase – because he also gradually participates in the higher market rates.
The value of portfolios holding significant bond components was most evident when the equity markets tumbled dramatically in 2008-09. Such portfolios had a much softer decline than those more equity-based. This risk-mitigating characteristic will remain important in the future.
One more key consideration: The above strategy is sound as far as it applies to registered holdings, such as RRSPs,
RRIFs, TFSAs, RESPs, or RDSPs – because taxes are a non-issue with respect to the interest earned. However, for non-registered portfolios, one should generally avoid investments which generate interest. This would include bonds or bond funds.
For non-registered portfolios, the investor can consider Canadian-preferred share holdings as a substitute for bonds in his fixed-income component. These pay a dividend, rather than interest. Dividend payments from Canadian corporations are eligible for a dividend tax credit, which dramatically lowers the tax impact. In B.C., an individual can earn up to $41,000 in a year before the dividend portion of such income attracts tax. Interest income on the other hand would be taxed in the same manner as employment income – at the investor’s tax rate.
Again as with bond-based investments, for maximum safety through diversification, consideration should be given to Canadian funds which often hold a large cross-section of corporate preferred shares. Even in today’s low-interest environment, a dividend yield approaching five per cent is possible with such products.
An appropriate proportion of fixed-income products should exist in every portfolio. However, as interest rates begin to increase, our choices of specific investment products must strive to carefully reduce the emerging risk to capital values.
A retired corporate executive, enjoying post-retirement as a financial consultant, Peter Dolezal is the author of three books. His most recent, the Smart Canadian Wealth-Builder, is now available at Tanner’s Books, and in other bookstores.

After almost a year, the municipality of
North Saanich agreed to help fund the Sidney Lion’s food bank during their committee of the whole meeting Mon-
day.North Saanich was
approached in August 2011 by Sidney council with a request for ongo-ing donations toward the food bank’s utility costs and a one-time contribution to help the organization settle into its new location in Iroquois Park.
Mayor Alice Finall said council gave the request consideration in August, but they were unsure of the munici-pality’s budget at that point. The final annual report was presented at Monday’s meeting and the motion was passed unanimously to cost-share the food bank with Sidney and Central Saanich.
“We’re very pleased we’ve been able to assist with cost-sharing the food bank with the two other municipali-ties,” said Finall, who also highlighted the municipality’s dona-tion of fresh food to the cause.
“We will again be donating our excess fresh food from our gar-dens at the hall to the food bank,” Finall said of the garden on munic-ipal hall’s grounds. “In a few weeks we should have lettuce and we’re hoping to have lots of fruit from the orchard this year as well.”
For 2012 the munici-pality will contribute $3,800 to the projected operating costs of the food bank and will also make a one-time con-tribution in the sum of $12,500 for bank reloca-tion costs – the same amount contributed by Central Saanich.
The food bank pays $1 a year rent for the building at Iroquois Park. The Town of Sid-ney covers the major-ity of costs for the food bank.reporter@peninsulanews

Born August 2, 1921 in Battleford, SK. Passed away June 11, 2012 in Sidney, BC. Roy is survived by his wife and partner of 31 years, Sylvia Thistle-Miller; his brother, Bill; sons, Stephen (Julie) and Michael (Chris); daughters, Marilyn and Patricia; stepdaughter, Shannon (Jay); nieces and nephews; grandchildren and great-grandchild. Roy was very hard working and played just as hard; his motto was “to play hard you have to work for it.” He founded Triangle Service Station at the Oak Bay Junction in 1950 and in 1956 hauled the Island’s fi rst travel trailer from the U.S. to Victoria and put it on display at his service station. He was very passionate about his business and capitalized on the growing trend towards family adventure camping.
He expanded into mobile homes and parks eventually spanning eight lots throughout BC and Saskatchewan. Roy was deeply committed to the RV lifestyle and established Triangle RV Centre in Sidney as his business hub. Roy was a proud Rotarian, and believed in supporting the RVDA, local business, the community and he served on dealer councils for both Canadian and U.S. RV manufacturers. Roy had been an accomplished pilot and yachtsman and remained true to his passion for RV’ing, exotic cars and his beloved dogs. He loved racing and supported local drivers including Gary Kershaw and currently Ed Hutchinson, sponsoring the race car, Flashpoint Racing and the Firefi ghters’ Burn Fund.
He believed in living life large, with one foot in the future. His laughter and stories will long be remembered by his many friends, employees and business associates. Roy’s passing was eased by the compassion and care provided by the nurses, aides and support staff of the Sidney Care Home; there are not enough thanks we can express for these people.
In accordance with Roy’s wishes a private Celebration of Life will be held at a later date.In lieu of fl owers, donations can be made to the NANA Foundation Charity for Local Animals at (250)-477-2062. Condolences may be offered
to the family at www.mccallbros.com.
