Steve Price sees good things ahead for Sidney for 2016 and is letting residents and business owners know they are sure to experience many changes in the new year.

Price, the Mayor of Sidney, sat down with the PNR for an interview following his address at the Dec. 7 organizational meeting of council. That session saw

councillors recognize long-serving staff members, make their annual committee appointments and dis-cuss early the Towns 2016-2018 Strategic Plan.

Price called that document which was set to be approved Dec. 21 the face of our community in the years to come.

The Strategic Plan opens with a vision of making Sid-ney the best seaside town in Canada - vibrant, unique, welcoming. To get there, council outlines various ini-tiatives to back up three main goals in reaching that

vision: a resilient economy; balanced demographic, and; quality living environment.

Within each goal, Sidneys Strategic Plan includes initiatives from redevelopment of the Beacon Wharf and a minor OCP review, to promoting the community for families and youth, to building a new community safety building.

The proposed design for the new memorial cenotaph will be dis-cussed further in the new year, allowing the community to have a chance to weigh in on the design.

Council heard from Landscape Architect Illarion Gallant of Rus-nak Gallant Ltd. who presented the design for the new cenotaph on Dec. 21. My working title

for this has been Love Honour and Valour and the first form that I came up with was the obelisk, he said.

The structure is an obelisk with a more contemporary feel with maple leafs on a coiled stainless steel branch.

Theyre broken because its reflective of the fact that in war we are vulnerable, as a nation we get broken, but the vines really rep-resent the sense of the strength of our coun-try, the strength of our country surrounding the strength of the obe-lisk.

Made of concrete and standing 24 feet tall, Gallant is propos-ing various niches, reflecting various wars. Features include stone-work and a time cap-sule niche.

Council, overall, indi-cated they liked the proposed design and its location in Cen-tennial Park with trees surrounding it.

Coun. Zeb King said he thinks its important to make sure it reflects the entire community and wondered if it

could incorporate the local First Nations of Tsartlip and Tsawout.

Among those in the gallery were members of the Masonic Lodge who donated $10,000 to the cenotaph, along with residents Norma Seeley and Ed Widen-maier who helped get the project going.

Widenmaier said he likes the height and the upside down leafs, rep-resenting the fallen. His one concern was under peacekeeping.

Peacekeeping is rec-ognized by one colour, blue. A bronze hel-met or a bronze pair of boots on one side, thats fine but when you mention peacekeeping in your design, I believe that helmet should be blue ...

Seeley said she thinks the project has been rushed, adding there is time to do it properly.

She said she initially suggested a simple fieldstone monument as she felt it fit in with the local character.

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, December 30, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview A3PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, December 30, 2015 www.peninsulanewsreview A3

In all, there are 17 main initiatives coun-cil hopes to undertake over the next three years in this plan, 11 of which they see starting or completing in 2016.

One of Prices main points of his address was that people in Sidney should expect change.

The Sidney of 2015 looks very different than the Sidney of 2000 and the Sidney of 2000, I guarantee you, looked very different than that of 1980, he stated.

His comment was directed towards mem-bers of the community who have reacted to a series of new develop-ment proposals and approvals that see the Town growing up, instead of outwards. The Towns long-stand-ing policy of encourag-ing infill housing means new, taller buildings are going up some in areas where there have been smaller homes and condo buildings.

Asked in an interview if hes seen any soften-ing to peoples reac-

tions to this growth, Price said the com-ments are still arriving.

People are seeing change as a result of decisions of past coun-cils to see more hous-ing built, he said. And decisions made today will build Sidney far into the future.

Local government, he continued, has simply helped set the stage for private devel-opment to occur over many years. The type of housing and growth being seen today, Price explained, was set in motion prior to 2008, before the economy tanked in the wake of North American finan-cial scandals. Price, however, has repeat-edly rebuffed the idea that the Town needs to review and potentially revise its official com-munity plan (OCP).

In the latest Strategic Plan, the only mention of the OCP is a minor update in 2018. That would review key areas within the OCP and does not preclude the potential for consider-ing OCP amendments involving development

proposals or minor housekeeping.

In his address, Price noted that the priori-ties laid out in the exist-ing OCP, enacted in 2007, clearly sets the direction that the cur-rent council is follow-ing.

Population Growth

The mayor noted that local government has an overall goal in

the background of increasing Sidneys population. It sits at around 11,000 now and actually lost popula-tion in the last census count. Price said the Town has a capacity of around 15,000, before there starts to be seri-ous impacts on local infrastructure.

Yet, with a focus on attracting families and young people to what has been a predomi-nantly senior popula-

tion remains a target. To get there, the Town is looking to not only attracting new jobs and businesses through local and regional eco-nomic development functions, but more affordable housing for working people. A step towards the latter was the recent announce-ment that the Greater Victoria Rental Devel-

opment Society has applied to build a 56-unit building on Fourth Street.

WaterfrontAttracting new jobs

might be tougher. Coun-cil, in its plan, includes only one real in-house development focus the redevelopment of Beacon Wharf.

It could be huge, Price said.

Next year, he said he hopes to see the com-munity work together on a new vision for the facility, working towards new designs and eventual funding and construction. Price said he sees services such as a new water taxi service between Sidney and Salt Spring Island, a Sidney to Vancouver passenger ferry and an expanded wharf/waterfront plan.

Price said he has already broached the idea of the passenger ferry services with operators of existing services on Salt Spring

Island and between Nanaimo and Vancou-ver. Its early days, yet, he admitted.

The idea would be to see more foot traf-fic in Sidney via a rede-veloped wharf. Price said he would like to see a committee tackle the waterfront. Bea-con wharf itself needs extensive upgrades it currently cannot handle the weight of vehicles in addition to existing structures and may require com-plete replacement.

Realistically, for this to happen, the wharf is going to have to be replaced, Price said, adding to do it, it will likely take a blend of municipal, provincial and federal funding.

of the challenges ahead in the new year for this council.

OUR VIEW

The death of former B.C. premier Bill Bennett on Dec. 4 prompted the traditional round of polite tributes.

He was the man from Kelowna who remade Vancouver, with SkyTrain, BC Place stadium and Expo 86 to put the city on the world map. He won three majority governments before handing over the steering wheel of a smoothly running Social Credit Party to Bill Vander Zalm.

Outside B.C., the wire service obituaries ran to a few paragraphs, defining Bennett first as the architect of financial restraint in the province.

It seems an ordinary notion today, but when Bennett unleashed his restraint program on the B.C. government in 1983, it was presented as a right-wing coup on a socialist utopia.

I was in journalism school in Vancouver when unions organized a general strike and mass street demonstrations under the banner of Operation Solidarity, appropriated from the struggle against Polands communist dictators. Their goal was to bring the recently re-elected government to its knees.

The newly tabloid Vancouver Province, itself largely controlled by some of B.C.s most militant unions, was a screeching banshee of the big-labour left.

Socred hitmen swoop on rights workers, its front page declared after 400 layoff notices were issued to provincial staff. This propaganda was the publics guide and my professional role model.

A bit of background: the B.C. economy was in the grip of an international recession, hitting resource industries and government revenues hard.Bennett had ousted

the Dave Barrett NDP government in 1975, but the legacy lived on. During its three-year reign, for example, education spending increased 13 per cent in the first year and 23 per cent in each of the next two.

The blitz of restraint legislation reasserted governments authority to control the size and wages of provincial staff, reinstated the provinces ability to pay, eliminated

various boards, and increased the provincial sales tax to seven per cent to pay the bills.

Another Bill Bennett legacy was dismantling the monopoly chokehold of big international unions on public heavy construction.

Growing up in northeastern B.C., I had seen the impressive pay for jobs on highway construction, about twice what I earned labouring for a non-union contractor doing city work. A couple of friends discovered the inside track to securing

labouring jobs on a provincially-funded highway project. After joining the union, those in the know could visit a business agent and hand over $500 cash. Within days, the lucky winner would be name requested to join the crew, vaulting over those who thought paying dues and working their way up the seniority list would be enough.

This struggle over public construction continues today, with BC Hydros decision to make the Site C dam an open shop. The main contract was awarded to a consortium working with the Christian Labour Association of Canada.

After graduating from journalism school, I landed my first full-time job as a reporter for the Kelowna Capital News, shortly before Bennett announced his retirement from the premiers office to finish his term as a backbench MLA.

Bennett and I would sometimes arrive for work together, parking our rusty 1976 Chevrolets on Bernard Avenue, where he kept an office above the family furniture store.

I found out later that Bennetts modest old sedan was the government-issue car he had used during his entire 10 years as premier.

The party bought it for him as a humourous retirement gift and he continued to drive it to work. No frills. That was Bill Bennett.

Cenotaph should inspire pride

Theres something to be said for originality and the ability to attract attention.

Thats exactly what a proposed new memorial cenotaph has done for the

District of Central Saanich after its unveiling during the council meeting on Dec. 21.

Now, there were only a few people there to actually see it that night and we agree that there needs to be the crucial time allowed for public feedback and suggestions. There appears to be enough time within a window where funding for the project would be available, for the community to have a look at the proposed memorial. It behooves council, then, to take that time and congratulations to them for doing so. Its now

up to residents of Central Saanich to visit municipal hall between now and Jan. 18 to see what the hubbub is about.

There can sometimes be no

worse action than elected officials spending public money on objects dart without letting anyone give it a sober second thought. These creations are nothing else if not subjective beauty in the eye of the beholder and all that and can draw the ire of many a jaded eye.

Be that as it may, the design for a veterans memorial cenotaph for the District is unique and eye-catching.

Yes, there could be some tweaks to incorporate the local history and culture, but to suggest Central Saanich seek out a less pretentious design screams of false modesty.

The community already has a modest cenotaph in the tiny plaque sitting on the ground at municipal hall.

Instead of always looking down to remember those who served our country, perhaps its time we look up, hold our heads high and not bury our chins in our chests.

A new memorial cenotaph doesnt have to touch the heavens, but at least it should inspire pride in the sacrifices made and still being made by our family, friends and neighbours.

No frills. That was Bill Bennett.

Seeking out less pretentious design screams of false modesty


Right off the bat is their plan to replace the fire hall with a com-munity safety building. The project is currently waiting for word if it can be built on its sec-ond land choice. Its ini-tial siting on land next to Sidney Elementary School was rejected by School District 63 (Saanich). Now, its being eyes for property controlled by the War Memorial Society operators of the Mary Winspear Centre. That land has a legal cove-nant on it that is cur-rently being reviewed to see if this would even be possible.

As well, the Town received a letter from the B.C. Ministry of Transportation dated Nov. 2, stating that if the community proceeds with its current plan, it would effectively eliminate any plans for a traffic overpass onto Bevan Avenue plans that have been in place since 2012.

Price said the design of the community safety building is such that it could be moved to a third site, if neces-sary.

The Town also has a busy year ahead as it looks to West Sidney for improvements in the industrial area. Nearby,

the Town and Victoria Airport Authority are discussing plans for a large commercial devel-opment at the corner

of Beacon Avenue and Highway 17.

In the meantime, Sid-ney has taken the lead in bringing various par-

ties together to discuss the possible clean up of Reay Creek Pond, identified as containing heavy metal contami-nants.

In his address, Price stated with these inter-esting changes, comes a test of Sidneys resi-dents.

It all comes back to a sense of community - a sense of belonging, he wrote, that speaks directly to having an affordable place to live in our community so that everyone can share what this great Town has to offer.

Challenges ahead for the TownContinued from page 3

Province of British Columbia

A 2012 plan for an overpass at Bevan Avenue in this artists depiction.

That, she said, has historically been agriculture.

My whole thrust was simplicity. Not just for the cost but because of the meaning and feeling for a ceno-taph.

She also had concern with the location, saying the cenotaph would be hidden. The proposed cenotaph is also too tall, she said.

We are a simple people in this municipality, most of us I dont think have pre-tentions [sic] to grandeur and I find this quite preten-tious.

The comments then went back to council to make a decision to which many said they just need more consultation with community.

I think its fairly evident that something so touch-ing and important to the commu-nity, we need to be fairly certain that weve done enough consultation said King.

Coun. Bob Thompson said this is a community symbol and is also con-cerned they havent taken it to the community in seeking that approval.

Coun. Carl Jensen said he had wanted to move the plan forward to meet a funding deadline. He said he now believes council is rushing for the sake of the funding.

I think from my perspective I would be willing to take a chance that we may miss out on funding that we dont even know if were going to get so that we can perhaps take some more time to really come for-ward with something that maybe all of us around the table can get behind

because at this point it doesnt feel like were there yet

Mayor Ryan Windsor was the only one against a motion made by Jen-sen to move the design to the Jan. 18 Committee of the Whole meeting.

He said the structure is unique and likes to think that Central Saanich is unique, adding that sometimes peo-ple have to accept things that sur-

prise them.What gets me the most

is that we are a local gov-ernment and certainly analysis is important as we deliberate on process, but I think what this particu-lar project represents is a group of people who did not think, they did not sit back and analyze whether or not they should go to war, they went, because they felt it was the right thing to do.

Windsor added the First World War is only a few years away from the 100th anniversary of its end.

One hundred years ago the peo-ple of Central Saanich responded to the call to fight in the First World War ... and were still deliberating on a cenotaph.

With further discussion taking place in the new year, the materials of the cenotaph design will be placed in the lobby of Central Saanich for residents to view, allowing for them to give their input.

I think its an opportunity to give a little bit more time for some thought, a little bit more input and I think that gives us a chance to pro-mote it, said Jensen.

Street Smarts

Stephen WellerHi Tech Collision

As I sit here I cant believe that its been a year since I wrote my holiday Street Smarts for 2014. Where did it go?

This is the time of year that we sit and re ect on what happened in the previous 12 months and give thanks that we managed to make it to the end of this one. We had a cracker of a year at the shops. Now, what that means is that there have been an awful lot of unhappy people that have had fender benders but hey, you cant please everyone.

We have trained some excellent apprentices this year, which gives me hope that the next generation are not all a bunch of unmotivated slackers. The industry has gotten a little smaller and cars more dif cult to repair. Insurance companies are so xated on performance that it is dif cult to keep up at times but we have managed. We will see a lot more aluminum in vehicles in the future, which is more dif cult to repair and some auto makers are insisting that shops be certi ed to repair their vehicles.

More training and costs mean its becoming more competitive between all the shops that stick around. All in all the industry is on good footing locally. We still have the Premier shops on the Peninsula in my opinion and the more time I spend in other peoples stores, the more I love my own. We love doing business out here. Everyone kind of leaves us alone for the most part & I think they think that little old Sidney is 5 light years away.

As Im looking back at the year Im remembering all the people that were an absolute pleasure to deal with. And for that I thank them. We are in a tight spot being in the middle of the insurance company and customer and some people understand that, and others not. For those that didnt; a big old chunk of coal to you this Christmas. For those that did; all our love and the best for the New Year.

Cheers.Steve

A group of 10 people from the Saanich Pen-insula are going to help build a new home for a single mom in Haiti.

In March, the group from the Saanich-ton Bible Fellowship Church on Mt Newton X Road will travel to a Haitian village called Bassin-Bleu. The family was left homeless fol-

lowing an earthquake on Jan. 12, 2010.

Josh McCulloch, one of the people going to the Caribbean Island nation next year, says Haiti has yet to recover from the quake and many people there are still without homes. McCulloch said one of the churchs congrega-tion, Dave Hilderman, went to Haiti with his kids approximately two years ago and provided

the spark for a larger contingent to join Proj-ect Help Haiti.

This is about help-ing a family in that country, he said. A lot of the economy and the infrastructure was destroyed in what was already one of the poor-est countries in the world.

A carpenter by trade, McCulloch said hes going to have to learn a little masonry as homes there are built of cinder blocks on stone and mortar foundations.

To get there, the church group is hoping to raise $40,000 before they leave in March. McCulloch said they are at $5,000 as of this week and will hold a fundraiser next month.

On Jan. 30, the Saa-nichton Bible Fellow-ship Church will be the

site of a talent show and silent auction. The show is open to the entire community and starts at 7 p.m. Admis-sion is by donation.

When they reach their goal, McCulloch said the money will not only help buy the materials for the house, but employ some local Haitian workers as well. With any extra money, he said it will be invested into a micro-loans program.

Those loans pro-vide an opportunity for someone to start a small business, grow and help in the rebuild-ing.

Anyone interested in donating to the local effort can visit sbf-church.com/haiti2016. Details about the char-ity can be found at pro-jecthelphaiti.com.

You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you?

Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing abil-ity and colour vision.

20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes.

20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharp-ness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a per-son with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20.

The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease in u-ence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some peo-ple who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybodys visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20.

If you feel your vision is not up to standard a com-prehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which war-rants further investigation.

Reasons to SHOP in Brentwood Bay


NORTH SAANICH The Peninsula Pan-thers continue to gain the respect of teams in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League as they concluded a tough week of hockey prior to the Christmas break.

On Dec. 16 they ran their winning streak to seven games and were winners of nine of their last 10. Last Friday, Dec. 18 they hit the road once again, this time heading into Saanich to take on the Braves.

Although the Pan-thers played a solid match the bounces all went the way of the Braves and the Pan-thers had their whis-kers trimmed, 5-1.

Perhaps the most physical, high paced and entertaining game thus far this season was in Nanaimo the follow-ing Sunday night when the Panthers and Buc-caneers locked horns. The two clubs went toe-

to-toe for the entire 60 minutes of regulation and were deadlocked at 2-2 when the final horn sounded.

The Bucs would send their fans home happy

when they notched the winner early in the extra frame to earn the win.

It is actually hard to believe how far this group has come,

explained General Man-ager Pete Zubersky. We are starting to win games and I believe we now have the respect of the entire league. Its really satisfying to see

young kids get better at the junior game, these guys are playing some great hockey right now.

The Panthers will practice over the next few days. Pen-

insula

is now off until Wednes-day, Dec. 30 when they host to the Kerry Park Islanders at the Panorama Recreation Centre. It is the only Wednesday game of the season, the puck set to drop at 7:30 p.m.
