Retail plans for 12 acres of the Sandown racetrack property in North Saanich are being revived after almost a year of inactivity.

Owner of the property, William Randall and devel-opment company Omicron say they are going to bring their proposed land deal back to the Dis-trict of North Saanich, 10 months after councillors rejected, in April 2012, a memorandum of under-standing (MOU) between the municipality, the owner and the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC). That majority vote essentially killed the matter, as

council decided not to proceed over costs to taxpayers and alleged ALC interference in the district’s business.

Peter Laughlin, Omi-cron’s director for Van-couver Island, says they want to bring the same deal back to council,

after negotiating with district staff some of the stick-ing points of the MOU.

“We are just starting to talk with the district,” he said. “It’s the same proposal as last year. No hous-ing, just retail.”

In conjunction, he said they are testing the waters, seeking interest in the shopping mall and retail community in such a project. That’s the root of a property listing being circulated by concerned North Saanich residents this week, which states the property “will be converted to a shopping centre, located in the Sidney area of Victoria.”

Deer hunting rules to changeSteven Heywood and Devon MacKenzieNews staff

Control of deer populations on the Saanich Peninsula will include new fenc-ing options, anti-feeding bylaws and some significant differences in where hunting the deer will be allowed.

The Capital Regional District is tak-ing its proposed deer management strat-egy to the districts of Central and North

Saanich, as well as the District of Saan-ich. The CRD is seeking implementa-tion of ways to control what is seen as increasing numbers of deer in the south Island. Already, differences in what each municipality will allow are becoming evi-dent.

The District of North Saanich has rejected options for public hunts and professional sharp shooting and asked staff to research bow hunting and the use of third parties in its crop protection

hunting bylaw.In Central Saanich, council asked their

municipal staff for bylaws to allow pub-lic hunting, amendments to provincial hunting regulations, align provincial and local permitting processes for crop pro-tection, revisit deer bag limits, look into the use of sharp shooters and investi-gate a bounty.

Have you visited the Royal BC Museum lately? An exciting array of special events and exhibitions is waiting to be discovered this spring and summer.

In addition to the full spectrum of engaging displays highlighting B.C.’s human and natural history, the museum has compiled an extensive calendar designed for both locals and visitors. Watch for your guide to what’s happen-ing at the museum distributed through Black Press Newspapers on March 1.

Continuing through April 1 is the il-luminating Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2012 exhibit, featuring 100 large-scale, back-lit photographs in 19 catego-ries. Organized by the U.K.’s Natural History Museum and BBC Worldwide, the photographs were chosen from 48,000 entries from across the globe, by a panel that included some of the world’s most respected nature photogra-phers and wildlife experts.

Shedding light on a fascinating area of local history is Tradition in Felicities: Celebrating 155 Years of Victoria’s China-town, exploring Canada’s oldest China-town through a unique artifact, images and stories from the elders from the archives.

Continuing through Sept. 29, the display reveals a close-knit community of families developing new identities

as Chinese Canadians and the felicities – the joyful celebrations of traditional Chinese holidays – that united and strengthened them since their fi rst arriv-als in the mid-1800s.

The centrepiece is the oldest-known Chinese Freemason’s lantern from Victo-ria’s Chinatown. Hand-made with paper over a bamboo frame, heat from lights or candles powered an intricate system of wheels and long black hairs to move parts of the lantern, animating nature scenes set among other decoration.

Enjoy a rare opportunity to see the museum’s object conservator using science-based treatments to preserve the lantern, Tuesday through Saturday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. until Sept. 29.

The stand-out exhibition of the 2013 season will be Race to the End of the Earth, May 17 to Oct. 14, and its accom-panying lecture series.

Recounting one of the most stirring tales of Antarctic exploration – the quest to be the fi rst to reach the South Pole in 1911 and 1912 – Race explores the epic adventures of Norwegian Roald Amund-sen and Capt. Robert Falcon Scott of the British Royal Navy on their respective 3,900-km (1,800-mile) journeys from the edge of the Ross Ice Shelf to the Pole and back.

Through photographs, paintings and original artifacts, Race to the End of the Earth places visitors in the midst of Ant-arctic exploration and research.

After choosing a character card and assuming the personality of a member of the expeditionary teams, visitors can move through the exhibition, discover-ing clues about their character’s experi-ences on the way to the South Pole.

Don’t miss the life-sized re-creations of Scott’s hut at Cape Evans, includ-ing his study and crew members’ living spaces, and Amundsen’s underground workrooms, where his crew was able to work protected from extreme wind and cold.

A stunning video projection, digital map and other interactive exhibits will reveal what scientists are learning today about Antarctica’s surprising sub-ice landscape, ocean currents and weather. Learn how people manage to live year-round in this forbidding yet fascinating place – including the Royal BC Mu-seum’s own Jana Stefan, a conservator and exhibit arts technician, who has lived and worked in Antarctica for two seasons, enduring extreme living condi-tions in order to preserve the world’s most remote historic site, R.F. Scott’s Expedition Hut!

Both municipalities are about to implement similar anti-feeding bylaws (in addition to deer, North Saanich will include rabbits, rac-coons and geese), explore fenc-ing heights and subsidies for farm-ers and become involved with a regional public education pro-gram.

In presenting the strategy in North Saanich, CRD senior plan-ning manager Marg Misek-Evans said the work stemmed from the raising of the problem of too many deer by area farmers, facing crop losses. Study and consultation were done in 2011 and 2012 and now the CRD is hoping to imple-ment changes to better control the deer.

Misek-Evans said the question for North Saanich is whether coun-cil will allow public hunting and ease the rules to allow it and if the district would participate in a trap and euthanize program. Some of the proposals call for support in changing local and provincial fire-arms laws.

“We are asking for the positions of the municipalities,” she said, adding the District of Saanich is in the process of drafting its own strategy recommendations.

North SaanichNorth Saanich council took issue

with any consideration of trap-ping and killing deer and would only support an option to have the CRD work with the province on such matters. Any changes to bag limits during a hunt, said the council, will also fall to the CRD and province.

“It’s a pretty nasty situation,” said Coun. Craig Mearns about a cull he witnessed on Sidney Island.

Coun. Dunstan Browne added using experienced hunters, who know what they are doing, is one thing, but termed the rounding up of deer and then killing them as “barbaric.”

North Saanich currently allows the hunting of deer for crop pro-tection purposes. It does not, however, allow the use of bows or third parties to do the work. District chief administrative offi-

cer Rob Buchan asked council to let staff research the bow hunting option with the RCMP, after con-cerns were raised about the lack of noise — and hence warning — when using bows.

Reaction from residents in North Saanich was mixed during the Feb. 25 presentation. While most acknowledged deer are impacting area farmers, concerns over the use of firearms in populated areas were raised.

Val Boswell, with a citizens’ group called DeerSafe, said she’s opposed to the use of sharp shooters and bounties on deer and wants people to know what could be happening in their com-munities soon.

Others expressed concern about hunting near trails and homes.

“When there’s a single, con-trolled hunt, we can’t know the numbers of hunters working inde-

pendently,” added resident Nancy Eaton. “There’s just too dense a population here.”

North Saanich council’s main focus on controlling deer was pub-lic education and using fencing to keep deer away from crops and people’s gardens. District staff are now tasked with regulating resi-dential fence heights and materi-als, with the expectation that not everyone will want a taller fence to keep deer out of their yards.

Central SaanichDuring a meeting on Feb. 12,

Central Saanich district council directed staff to draft bylaws to allow public hunting as well as prohibit intentional deer feeding.

Council also directed staff to work with the CRD on public edu-cation, follow up with the federal and provincial governments in

regards to renewing subsidies for deer fencing, write the province requesting amendments to hunt-ing regulations (including bag lim-its on crop protection) and the alignment of provincial and local police in supporting the involve-ment of First Nations in the hunt-ing process. Council also had staff look into using sharpshooters and establishing a bounty for deer.

The lawsCurrently, the municipality of

Central Saanich bylaws only allow farmers doing crop protection to use shotguns with shot ammuni-tion. Some farmers in the area are calling for single shot projectiles, or slugs, but the use of rifles is cur-rently prohibited in the area under provincial laws.

“Our municipal bylaws only allow shotguns with pellet (ammu-

nition) to be used in crop protec-tion,” explained Central Saanich Police Corporal Wes Penny, who acts as the representative for the department working with the CRD, the municipality and local farmers.

“Provincial regulations prohibit the use of rifles at all in this area and as a municipality we can’t change that. However, the bylaws could be changed to allow hunt-ing with slug which would mean a revision in the distances allowed in discharging the firearms.”

Penny added the current bylaw states that any crop protection using shot ammunition must be done at a minimum of 150m away from any type of dwelling or pub-lic space and should the regula-tions be changed to allow single-shot ammunition, those distances would have to be adjusted accord-ingly.

“The (parameters) would prob-ably have to increase by at least double, if not more, which would probably eliminate a lot of farms from using it because of their size,” he explained.

Crop protectionAlthough the police department

has to approve applications from farmers to do crop protection, Penny said, the proper use and abiding by all other rules is still ultimately up to individual farm-ers.

“When we approve a crop pro-tection permit, what we’re doing is allowing people to do crop pro-tection on their property in the municipality,” he said.

“It’s still a requirement that farmers abide by all other regula-tions including hunting regs and firearms regs.”

It’s a tough job, Penny added, trying to balance both sides of an equation that includes members of one common community.

“We want to work with the farm-ers and help them deal with crop loss and loss of their livelihood while we also address what is of utmost importance, which is pub-lic safety. Our role is essentially to provide information about legisla-tion and regulations and provide enforcement when it’s required.”

NORTH SAANICH — B.C.’s leader of the New Deomocratic Party says his party will focus on offering voters a posi-tive alternative to the current Liberal govern-ment.

Adrian Dix was speaking at Monday night’s fundrasing din-ner for Saanich North and the Islands NDP candidate Gary Hol-man. The event, held at Glen Meadows Golf

and Country Club, was sold out.

“Adrian’s focus on positive politics and practical solutions for B.C. families is hitting a chord in our commu-nities,” said Holman.

“He’s not just saying we’ve got to change the government, he’s offer-ing a real commitment to build a fairer, health-ier, more sustainable future.”

“People from across the political spectrum are telling me we need to change government. I assure them that I can and will bring their voice to an Adrian Dix government.”

Holman came within 260 votes in the 2009 election.

— Submitted

“Up to 80,000 sf of commercial retail, with potential for residen-tial.”

The listing is through Cushman & Wakefield Ltd.

Laughlin said they’ve also taken the idea to Vancouver and Toronto conventions of the International Council of Shopping Centres.

The goal is to see if there will be any takers, should the land questions be worked out with the municipality. He said Omicron and the Randall family are committed to taking this plan through the process.

“At some point you have to make a determination if the proj-ect is able to go forward, if it’s the right project.”

On May 25, 2011 the District of North Saanich received an appli-cation from the owners of the San-down Racetrack — an application requested by the district itself — to rezone 12 acres of the 95 acre site for a range of commercial uses. The proposed deal would give 83 acres of the property to the municipality for agricultural purposes.

The remaining 12 acres would be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) for commer-cial development, while the dis-trict would put up 12 acres of their own land to ensure no overall loss of agricultural property.

The MOU included a list of the ALC’s requirements for a 12-acre land swap within the ALR of prop-erty near McDonald Park Road for municipal property.

Under the proposal, the 12 acres removed from the land reserve would be rezoned commercial.

Randall, whose family owns the former harness racing track on Glamorgan Road which has been vacant for six years, said no poten-tial tenants have come forward so far and does not expect any deals to be signed, as there’s no certainty that the property will be approved for such use.

“Whether this occurs, that’s a good question,” Randall said.

Currently, the property is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), which does not allow retail

use. As a result, Randall said, no company is willing to become a tenant with the uncertain land question not yet resolved.

When the proposal was stalled last year, plans by The Farmlands Trust to manage the agricultural land for the district also fell by the wayside.

Randall at the time said he was moving on, planning to list the property and there had been no other proposals.

The lease listing making the rounds this week has some people wondering what’s happening with Sandown.

District Planner Mark Brodrick said this week that the property listing came as a complete sur-prise, adding there is no active file with the municipality on plans for Sandown. He added in an email to the News Review that there has been no recent talks between dis-trict staff and the proponents.

Randall, however, said district staff are aware of their proposal. He noted that it has not yet been before “full council” for their review.

The plan right now, Randall said, is the same as the initial pro-posal. He said the listing is a way

of determining if there’s any retail interest, but admitted he thinks nothing will proceed until all of the land questions are worked out.

“No, there’s no one that has come forward,” he said. “It’s listed for lease, so if we do get a tenant, it may happen.”

But it may not, either. Randall said he could offer no specifics on his plans because the land issues are not yet resolved.

“Right now, we’re in more than just a holding pattern but we’re not out on the highway yet. We’re looking at our options.”

The District of Central Saanich spent nearly $11,000 to hire a new Director of Planning and Develop-ment late last fall, documents reveal.

As of Oct. 15, 2012, past Director of Planning and Development, Hope Burns, was no longer employed by the district and the municipality began the search for a new candidate to fill the position. On Dec. 19, Bruce Greig, past District Planner, was pro-moted to the position after an exten-sive search.

“We did a full search for a new candidate and we were fortunate to have a tremendous amount of inter-est in the position, but ultimately we felt Bruce came out strong and head and shoulders above the competi-

tion,” said Mayor Alastair Bryson in a previous interview with the News Review.

A freedom of information request received by the News Review this week revealed the district spent $10,780.42 on advertising for the posi-tion and to hire an external recruit-ment agency.

The same request also revealed Burns was paid $32,853.25 between the time of her ending employment with the district and the end of November.

All other information regarding Burns’ employment end with the dis-trict was withheld under the Free-dom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act.

Burns had been an employee of the district for 12 years.

While Sidney town councillors hope that a proposed business improvement area (BIA) will improve the fortunes of local businesses, they won’t get rid of their economic devel-opment fund just yet.

The Town of Sidney started a $60,000 fund last year with the goal of sparking some economic stud-ies, projects and, ultimately, cohe-sion within the business community. Almost half the fund was used in 2012, with some of the money awarded to the proponents of the BIA.

With $30,500 left in the fund, coun-cil debated recently to either drop it from their 2013 budget, or keep it intact.

Councillor Mervyn Lougher-

Goodey said he wondered if the town should drop the fund and save the money and see what the BIA would accomplish.

“We need to keep in mind that the BIA isn’t certain,” said Coun. Steve Price. “Perhaps we should keep the money in the economic development line item.

Mayor Larry Cross agreed, saying council cannot assume the BIA — still in a counter-petition process — will exist. He added the town has an obligation to support local business in some way.

Coun. Tim Chad urged council to consider making a solid plan for economic development first, before throwing more money into the fund.

Council voted, 5-2, to maintain the $30,500 in the 2013 budget and $60,000 in subsequent years.

Town retains its economic development fund for now

Classic deer dilemma

Don’t feed the deer.It’s a simple thing to do — or not do, as the case

may be. And it could help control the burgeoning population of deer on the south Island.

It is, however, not going to be the one thing that keeps their numbers down, as farmers face crop losses due to the voracious animals.

The Capital Regional District is taking its deer management strategy to three municipalities — Central and North Saanich and the District of

Saanich — the places most affected by what is described as larger-than-acceptable deer populations. The strategy, which includes higher fences,

more hunting options and better public education, faces an uphill public relations battle as it pits urban versus rural — the needs of farmers on the peninsula, squaring off with suburbanites who have gardens, but still like the deer around — or at least not killed in any large scale.

Dealing with crop-damaging pests has always been an issue for farmers. These days, however, the farms are surrounded by homes and public sensitivities. This regional strategy presents some clear challenges to our communities, not the least of which are the hunting options. Hunting becomes more difficult at the same time as homeowners react violently when a predator like a cougar or wolf is spotted doing what it does best — controlling deer.

It’s a classic dilemma. Balancing public sensitivities with a farmer’s right to protect their land and livelihood.

Our reaction to predators alone shows just how bad at managing wildlife humans really are. Instead of letting cougars, bears and wolves do what comes naturally, an irrational fear of “what might happen” takes over and the predator is removed or killed. The deer are then left to propagate unabated, leaving behind other consequences — one being that they’re just too cute to kill.

Deer damage crops. Farmers have been clear on that. Now, the region is faced with doing something about it, other than sitting back and waiting for inbreeding and disease to do the job for them.

Farms are surrounded by homes and public sensitivities

For me, the high points of the North Saanich year are the late summer afternoons spent on the beach across the street from our home. We swim, sit with friends and neighbours on the beach logs, watch children splash about in the shallows.

We thank the far-sighted people that endowed the District with its network of trails and beach accesses and count ourselves fortunate.

While serving as the Parks Commission representative on the Marine Task Force (2007 – 2008) I met waterfront property owners who felt that their privacy and peace were threatened by unruly beachgoers and who believed that the existing rules should be modified so as to make it easier for waterfront property owners to gain permission to build docks, seawalls, etc.

I believe that the peace and privacy issues have been reasonably handled by an understanding with the police that everybody supports.

As for the more proprietal claims on the foreshore, the Marine Task Force Report admits that, still conforming to the objectives of the 2007 Official Community Plan, there could be some streamlining of the rezoning process currently required before a private dock

can be permitted on the foreshore of most waterfront properties (Recommendation 7.2.2.6). This recommendation has yet to be acted upon and I am comfortable with it, provided that some form

of public notification and consultation is retained in the revised permitting process.

I accept that some waterfront property owners might wish fewer restrictions regarding private foreshore amenities but I reject the assertion made by several of them that because they pay higher than average municipal taxes they are entitled to proprietal

extensions into the public foreshore. This divisive notion, if pursued, introduces relative wealth as a factor in the accommodation between public and private where, I personally believe, it has no legitimate place. A group supportive of waterfront property rights have made their issues the implicit focus of a successful political campaign based on a simple libertarian mantra that notably failed to mention waterfront ambitions. The three successful “libertarian” candidates were joined by a fourth, also less than forthcoming about some of his political ambitions, all four now conjoined in Team North Saanich. This Team holds a majority on council and with it the power

to pursue its agenda, declared or otherwise.

The take-home from a recent public lecture on the probable local consequences of rising sea levels resulting from global warming is that some sections of the North Saanich foreshore will be subject to greatly accelerated erosion within the next ten years. The recommendation that followed was that the District should encourage a shoreline protection strategy or protocol aiming at a continuity of protection rather than leaving it to each property owner to deal with the problem as best he or she can. And there remains the need to accommodate and protect public access to the foreshore, the more so should the population of North Saanich be increased by allowing higher density housing.

Clearly there is work to be done on the foreshore file with vigorous, community-based leadership required from the municipal government. Notwithstanding a fractious and partisan first year council, and in particular Team North Saanich, has two more years to demonstrate that it can wield its majority less as a cudgel and more as a creative implement in order to achieve the workable, widely supported compromises that can move our community forward.

Housing without the sermon

Those wishing to raise support for devel-opment in North Saan-ich make much men-tion of the importance of providing affordable housing for those working in the area.

There are many reasons why these employees are not keen to live in our area. His or her partner may work in Victoria or even Duncan. He/she may have day care arrangements, school preferences or want to live near relatives.

Perhaps they would like to live in an area which doesn’t roll down the blinds and close up at 5 p.m.

In these uncertain times an employee can no longer expect a guarantee of employ-ment. At the same time there may be families that don’t work in our area which would hap-pily move here, if the housing was afford-able. Are we going to say “housing only for local workers “? I doubt it, so why don’t those interested in developing just appeal for approval of afford-able housing, without the sermon?

Canadians in second place

My Granny used to say “you trust a per-son until they give you reason not to.” Prime Minister Harper’s gov-ernment has given me ample grounds not to trust his leadership. Here are just three accounts which clearly

illustrate a lack of respect for the major-ity of Canadians and their view-point

Enbridge pipeline oil spills are many and well documented. Still, Mr. Harper is push-ing for the proposed Northern Gateway in British Columbia.

This, in spite of the potential danger to riv-ers, streams, land and people, the pipeline is a gamble, which could devastate areas of B.C., leaving land toxic for years to come.

Genetically modi-fied foods and ignor-ing the rights of the public to know what they are putting into their mouths. GM food should be labeled and the federal ministry needs to address that.

Whether or not these biotech products effect our health will take decades to sur-face, citizens, have an ethical right to expect honesty from their Prime Minister — not the doltish lecture we are being served up.

Censoring scientists, the latest edict con-cerning the Depart-ment of Fisheries and Oceans, castigating the voices of eminent scientists is especially worrying.

“Permission to speak,” you say? What has the govern-ment become, a large classroom overseen by Stephen Harper? Exactly what dire con-sequences have been reported by scien-tists, that the DFO has received policy direc-tion to conceal, this information from the public?

In my opinion these few examples illustrate how deeply

embedded this govern-ment is committed to enhancing the cash flow, regrettably, the health and welfare of Canadian people com-ing in a poor second.

Market housingA lot at 9395 East

Saanich Rd. is cur-rently zoned for four lots but the developer proposes to create 40 lots and up to 40 car-riage houses or suites.

They are offering to pay $27,000-plus for each lot so North Saan-ich will receive more than one million-plus. That’s the proposal that has been passed by the municipal coun-cil. Is this a dream, a fairy tale or bribery under the name of affordable or young people’s housing?

Does anyone believe this is going to be any-thing other then mar-

ket priced housing? Where is the park or playground for these young families?

If the developer or municipality were sin-cere about affordable housing they could use the money or the lots and involve Habitat for Humanity or some other non-profit to build houses for low income families.

Personal affrontAs the Superin-

tendent of Schools in School District 63 (Saanich), I am always pleased with the exten-sive positive coverage that the News Review provides our schools and our district.

However, I am com-pelled to write a let-ter to the editor for the first time in my eight years as Super-intendent. I do so in response to a let-

ter published from a grandparent, in which she mentioned a teacher by name and referred to an issue of concern that had been dealt with by the district. The writer should be aware that the matter was dealt with thoroughly and confidentially using processes that are afforded citizens in a

civilized society.She was unhappy

with the outcome, which is fair and understandable, but in saying so, concluded with the statement that she hoped three named individuals (including myself) could sleep at night.

When we hear stu-dents speak this way, we intercede on the

basis of such a com-ment being a personal affront and potentially a threat.

I am of the firm belief that the News Review should have removed that element from the letter as is your right and, I believe, was your responsibility.

Keven ElderSuperintendent,

Comparing a giant pumpkin to a grape

Re: Boutique agriculture (Feb. 15) and Growth Happens (Feb. 20)

Comparing Saskatchewan mega-farming to Saanich Pen-

insula micro-farms, as Mr. Shick does in his letter, is like comparing a 400 lb. giant pumpkin to a grape.

Our micro-farm sold 1,500 cartons of eggs and 300 chickens last year. We are sold out most days because our custom-ers recognize that our birds get to “live a good life with one bad day” (Joel Salatin).

The Dutch have run productive, sus-

tainable micro-farms for generations and Cuba, unable to afford the fossil fuels big agri-business is dependent on, uses micro-farms and SPIN principles to keep their population from starving.

The Shick letter also mentions global warming as it relates to commuting, but many North Saanich residents have at least one family member commuting the other direction to work in Victoria.

In fact, according to CRD data, North Saanich has more workers living in North Saanich and working elsewhere, than the other way around.

We need only look to Langford and Col-wood to see that more housing will sim-ply result in more commuters, especially since house sales will not be restricted to people who work in our community.

It’s important to note that both writ-ers of the two pro-development letters recently published (Mr. Shick and Ms. Bonet) are part of the team working on the McDonald Park development in North Saanich and therefore have a direct financial interest in this current rezoning application.

Mr. Shick may hail from Saskatchewan,

but I was in Ontario when the QEW Niagara was built through prime farm-land. I watched as every trip through the area showed more buildings and fewer orchards. I would not like to see that repeated on the Saanich Peninsula.

We are a unique micro-climate with some neighbors growing figs, lemons and oranges.

If Mr. Shick feels the scale is too small, I suggest he get on-board and help farm-ing grow.

Joshua Harris-Bran-igan has a long, hard road of rehabilitation ahead of him, after he suffered a fall in Cour-tenay in January which put him in a coma for 24 days.

The 22-year-old for-mer Sidney resident and Parkland Second-ary School grad was initially not expected to survive a 100 meter fall he took when a mudslide sent him onto some rocks after a New Year’s party. He was left unconscious and luck-ily was found the next morning by a local cou-ple out walking their dogs.

His dad, David Bran-igan, said Josh has been in Victoria Gen-eral Hospital for more than a month and early on, things didn’t look good.

“There were some dark prognoses,” David said. “He had a mod-erate to severe brain injury on both hemi-spheres of his brain.

There were no signs of life.

“It was a dark time for our family.”

After being trans-ferred to VGH, a spe-cialist there identified treatment options for Josh.

“He thought Josh could recover,” David said, adding after those 24 days in a coma, his son regained con-sciousness.

With some memory gaps as a result of his injury, David said Josh is now working hard on

recovering his move-ment.

“The progress, from where he was at first to where he is now, it’s unbelievable.”

David said the first three weeks were rough on the family, dealing with the trauma of the accident and no thought that Josh would ever recover.

Now, things have turned a corner and recovery can been seen.

“There’s no doubt, this is a severe brain

injury,” said David, “but it’s one part of the body that people understand the least.”

Josh is slowly getting more of his movement back in his legs and arms.

David said his son has bad days and good, and is thankful he is get-ting a second chance at life.

“He’s getting a fire in his belly to get rehab and get out of that hos-pital bed and get a bet-ter life.”

Josh, said his dad, had hoped to study to be an acupuncturist, and still holds out hope that he can do so.

The medical bills are, for the most part, being covered by the medi-cal services plan. David said, however, that the extra rehabilitation needed to make more progress is a cost being borne by the family.

“The health system has been good to date, but now he’s only get-ting 15 minutes a day of rehab and he needs at least two hours.”

That, and special-

ist care, are costs now facing the family. Plus, David said he left his job in Courtenay to be

near his son in hospital, so there’s little money coming in to pay the bills.

Former Sidney resident recovering from comaJoshua Harris-Branigan was unconscious for 24 days after 100 metre fall; fundraiser set for March 9

NOTICE – Water Main FlushingThe Water Department advises residents that we will be flushing water mains throughout the months of January to mid May. Consult the “Advisories & News” quick link on the District’s web site at http://www.centralsaanich.ca/residents/news.htm to view the flushing schedule for specific zones. Temporary discoloration of water and/or low water pressures may occur. This discoloration is not a health hazard. To clear your water lines, simply turn on your cold water tap in your laundry tub until the water is clear. Upon request, we will provide advance warning of flushing in your vicinity for those persons with special requirements for water clarity. Contact the Central Saanich Municipal Yard at 544-4224, ext. 221. The District cannot accept any responsibility for damages caused by low water pressure or the use of discoloured water. Therefore, we advise consumers to be on the alert for reduced water pressure and/or temporary discoloration of water.

• On Feb. 18, the Agri-cultural Advisory Com-mittee unanimously supported the recom-mendation to council that the municipality reach out to Tsartlip and Tsawout First Nations to discuss mutual inter-est in expanding their participation in goose and deer hunting on farm land within the traditional Wsanec ter-ritories.

• Council heard a pro-posed rezoning applica-tion from owners of a property on Springlea Road who are hoping to rezone their residen-tial property with one dwelling to allow for a subdivision containing three dwellings.

• A memorandum was received from Man-ager of Community Ser-vices Bonnie McKenzie updating council on the

Centennial Park Revital-ization project.

The report stated that the design process for the re-design and re-purpose of the cen-tral core portion of the park has been ongoing (funding was received for the project last year from the provincial Community Recreation Program fund).

Static displays for public viewing are being prepared for display in

the municipal hall and on the website.

• Council heard bi-annual activity reports from the municipality’s various departments including Admistration Services, Engineering and Public Services, Financial Services, Planning, Building and Community Services and the Central Saanich Volunteer Fire Depart-ment.

• In a notice of motion during the meeting on Feb. 18, Councillor Carl

Jensen requested that Mayor and Council be allowed to promote personal email, Twitter LinkedIn and/or other social media accounts on their council busi-ness cards.

Staff will prepare a policy surrounding Coun. Jensen’s request.

• On Feb. 25, coun-

cil had their second meeting discussing the municipality’s financial plan for the next five years (2013-2017).

A number of topics were discussed includ-ing the sale of a chunk of municipal property on White Road (esti-mated to happen some-time this summer), the pros and cons of put-

ting money into main-tenance of the current town hall (windows and exterior paint), and whether or not the upkeep of heritage buildings in Butterfield Park is worthwhile.

The next financial plan meeting for the District is March 11 and the next regular council meeting is March 4.

That’s why the family is hold-ing a fundraising concert on March 9 at the Charlie White Theatre.

David, with contacts through a career in hospitality, has enlisted the help of Courtenay-area musi-

cian Sue Medley and the Back Roads Band, as well as Whistler DJ Peace Frog. They are donat-ing a portion of their time to per-form at the benefit concert, and to help out with the family’s bills. David hopes people will turn out to enjoy a good show and help in

Josh’s recovery effort.To learn more about the con-

cert and about Josh’s recovery, search for JHB Recovery on Facebook. Tickets for the March 9 concert and silent auction can also be purchased through the Mary Winspear Centre.

According to Youth Employ-ment Program (YEP) Coordina-tor Deb Greenaway, there’s no better time to get involved in the program than in the months lead-ing up to the summer break.

“With the summer coming up, YEP is a fabulous opportunity for teens to get involved in the community,” said Greenaway. “And the nice part is students can choose their own level of participation.”

The YEP, run through Bea-con Community Services, has been part of the community on the Saanich Peninsula for many years. The program offers a practical way for teens to gain on-the-job experience and skills they might not otherwise have the chance to get.

“We offer and subsidize courses and training for youth in the program so they can build their resume with applicable skills,” said Greenaway, adding that the program is also a good way for students to network and earn graduation credits.

“All the volunteer opportu-nities completed through YEP go towards graduation require-ments,” she said.

Eligible participants for the free YEP program have to be between the ages of 14 and 18 and enrolled with School Dis-trict 63. Students can pick up an application package at their school’s career office or go to http://www.beaconcs.ca/pages/youth_employment.html. Once the application is completed, it can be dropped off at the SHOAL

Centre (10030 Resthaven Dr., in Sidney.) Students can also con-tact the YEP Coordinator at 250-656-5537 ext. 118 to set up an

interview and to find out about upcoming opportunities.

NORTH SAANICH — On Saturday, March 2

The event, for girls ages 5 to 17, runs from 2:30 to 4 p.m. at Pan-orama Recreation Cen-tre. For more informa-tion, visit http://www.bchockey.net/Minor-Hockey/EssoFunDays.aspx. — News staff

THE ARTS


Via Choralis is putting a call out to people with powerful pipes.

The choir is presenting Haydn’s Oratorio The Creation this May and is in need of a vocal boost for their choir for this particular show.

“The Creation is a major work by Joseph Haydn and it requires a larger choir because the orchestra is quite large,” said director Nicholas Fairbanks, adding that the 32-piece orchestra could easily drown out their usual 28 singing voices.

“We are looking to build the choir up to around 50 singers in order to balance out the sound,” he said.

The choir is an auditioned choir, but Fairbanks said that anyone with choral experience and basic music reading skills is encouraged to contact him as quickly as possible.

“This is an opportunity to sing one of the great master-pieces of the 18th century that’s not often performed,” he said.

“I would say it’s certainly as great a work as Handel’s Mes-siah but it’s not performed as frequently because of the size of the production.”

Rehearsals for the show, which happens May 4 and 5, have already started, “so we would want those interested in par-ticipating to contact us as soon as possible so they can start coming to rehearsals,” Fairbanks noted.

For more information on auditions or on the show, contact Fairbanks at [email protected].

The Chris Millington Big Band hits the stage next month to get people swinging and shaking at the Mary Winspear Centre.

On Saturday, April 20, the 14-piece band will bring the sounds of Michael Bublé, Are-tha Franklin as well as some spicy Latin rhythms to the cen-tre in Sidney.

Bandleader and saxophonist Chris Millington has toured across North America, Europe, Cyprus, the Pacific Rim and Russia and over the past 12 years, he and his band have garnered a loyal following of dance-ophiles on Thursday nights at the Butchart Gar-

dens.“It’s great when the music is so strong that people want

to get out of their seats and dance,” said Millington.

“There aren’t many ven-ues that can accommo-date 14 musicians and a dance floor large enough to

allow people to really shake it. The Mary Winspear Cen-

tre can do this and I’m really looking forward to doing this

show.”Joining Millington in the show

is Duncan Meiklejohn, who has worked his vocal magic with him for over 20 years, and vocalist Amber Handley, who has headlined shows on cruise ships for over a decade.

Tickets for the event on April 20 at 7 p.m. (dancing begins at 8) are available online at www.marywin-spear.ca or through the Mary Winspear Centre box office at 250-656-0275.

This month, Alexander’s Coffee Co. is hosting their annual Community of HeARTS fundraiser at the cafe.

Starting March 3 and running until March 16, nine Alexander’s staff members and more than a dozen artists from around the community will have their pieces on display and silent auction at the cafe on Beacon Avenue.

“Each artist donated a piece of original art to be auctioned through silent bidding,” explained Alex-ander’s owner Sandy Shams.

“We hang the work all over the shop, covering our walls with these lovely little pieces of work and start the bidding at $40 per piece. It’s a fantastic way to start collecting original art at a great price

but also, to contribute something to the commu-nity.”

Shams noted that last year, the business raised over $3,000 through the event that they then donated to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foun-dation. In previous years, Alexander’s also helped raise money for the new playground at North Saanich Middle School, the Sidney Museum and Archives and the Via Choralis music society.

This year, they have chosen the Sidney Lions food bank.

“The food bank is an emergency food service which anybody could have to use if they find them-selves in crisis,” said Shams, adding that through-out the two weeks of the fundraiser, the staff will also be campaigning for food donations at the coffee shop.
