A bid by the Town of Sidney to regulate the use of mobility scoot-ers on sidewalks was rejected in a split vote by local politicians Wednesday.

On the advice of the executive, delegates to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention voted to drop a request for provincial licensing of sidewalk scooters, and

to exclude motorized wheelchairs from any restrictions. But a major-ity of delegates voted against any kind of regulation.

Sidney Mayor Larry Cross urged support, telling delegates there has been one fatality in his community, and two “serious roll-overs” this past summer as scoot-ers shared sidewalks with pedes-trians.

“We’re kind of the canary in the mine in terms of the aging popula-

tion, and the incidents and con-flicts can only grow over time,” Cross said.

Other council members were unimpressed.

“If you have a problem with your sidewalks and people are rolling over, maybe you need to fix the sidewalks,” said Langley Township councillor Bob Long.

“There are motorized bicycles, so is that the next thing, we’re going to license bicycles?”

Sidney councillor Melissa Hailey said the community has “wonder-ful sidewalks,” but education and some regulation is needed.

“There is no real legislation or any ability to deal with unsafe scootering on our sidewalks,” Hai-ley said.

“Drinking and scootering is very hard to enforce.”

Nelson councillor Robin Cherbo said some solution is needed. His community has narrow sidewalks

and some scooter users take to the roadway, without flags or lights.

Cranbrook Mayor Wayne Stetski was opposed, after talking with scooter and wheelchair users in his community.

Saanich councillor Vic Der-man agreed that scooter users and pedestrians need education, but communities should focus on local improvements to give scooter users more safe routes.

Municipalities refused to sign on the MMBC by the Monday deadline

Arnold Lim recalls the days when noted Greater Victoria artist Ted Harrison would come into his res-taurant, Korean Gardens, for dinner with his son.

The two were fast friends, to the point where Harrison donated a framed print of one of his colourful paintings as a wedding gift to Lim and his wife 10 years ago.

While that piece of artwork sadly was destroyed later in a flood, Black

Press freelancer and former staffer Lim has been gifted another Harri-son print. This time it’s a donation to help his fundraising efforts as a media rider on the 2013 Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

“That’s pretty exciting for me,” says Lim, who leaves for Port Alice this weekend with his fellow media and police riders.

“He’s just a really special guy and part of the fabric of the community in Victoria.”

The print of “Land and Sea,” a 1989 work by Harrison, was donated by a

Black Press staffer and framed pro-fessionally by Prestige Picture Fram-ing Etc., located two doors away from Harrison’s former gallery space on Oak Bay Avenue.

Online auction bids for the beau-tifully finished artwork are being accepted at vicnews.com/contests. Bid deadline is Oct. 4.

If you’d like to donate otherwise to Lim’s Tour de Rock fundraising efforts, or any other rider, visit tour-derock.ca and follow the links.

B.C. civic leaders on Mon-day grilled the head of a new industry-led recycling agency over the costs and downsides of the new sys-tem set to replace munici-pally run blue box pick up next spring.

Vancouver Councillor Adri-ane Carr said she’s “gravely concerned” that Multi Mate-rial B.C.’s $110-million annual budget to recover packaging and printed paper province-

wide is much lower than the $190 million already spent each year in Metro Vancou-ver alone on recycling ser-vices.

“If there are significant cost reductions, you have to ask what are the service reductions,” said Carr, who warned it would be “back-wards” if cities that have built strong recycling pro-grams now see them shrivel under MMBC.

She and other municipal delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities conven-

tion in Vancouver this week pressed MMBC managing director Allen Langdon to increase the prices offered to local cities to act as collec-tors under the new system.

Langdon said he’s willing to talk to concerned cities but gave no sign of sweeten-ing the offers already made.

“There’s a limit to what producers can actually sus-tain,” he said, referring to the firms that are responsible for recovering packaging and paper under new provincial regulations.

Nor would he commit to specific targets for reduc-ing the amount of packaging encasing goods sold in B.C. Langdon said producers will pay their share of the pro-gram based on how much packaging they generate, giving them a price signal to reduce their packaging or make it more recyclable.

But Carr said that could still allow producers and retailers to simply pass the extra costs along to consum-ers.

Many cities refused to

sign on by a Monday dead-line to act as collectors of recyclables under proposed contracts, either indicating they’ll keep running their own systems without MMBC financial aid or else they’ll leave the job entirely for MMBC to contract out to pri-vate collectors.

MMBC agreed to let cities take more time and join the program after the scheduled May 19 launch date, setting the stage for more negotia-tions.

Spending habits need to change

A call by municipalities for the province to share some of its revenues at this week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities conference in Vancouver is an attempt to get more of the monies generated in local communities, which they can then use to put back into their infrastructure.

The effort is led by Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard and is realistic in that it’s not asking for that money now — but in the future when so-called boom times arrive in this province.

Municipalities are hoping that the province will return a larger share of money collected for such things as the property transfer tax on local real estate sales. It would be used to pay for infrastructure — water and sewer upgrades and transit improvements.

The effort places its hopes that the economy will once again boom in B.C. and local communities will get their share.

At least the municipalities are being realistic about having to wait for such a program to come to pass — if the province even agrees to it.

Whether it’s realistic to expect an economic boom derived from such plans as the province’s liquefied natural gas focus — that remains to be seen.

In the meantime, municipalities facing huge infrastructure costs are going to have to tighten their belts and set their priorities. There’s little doubt they have been doing that for years but for those towns and cities facing enormous costs for water or sewer treatment facilities — or even just the ongoing breakdown of their decades-old pipes and streets — they will probably have to sacrifice the extras their citizens have come to expect.

B.C. municipalities facing added costs down the road should heed the 2012 spending report conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It showed, in general, that spending has outpaced municipal growth. In Sidney’s case, the town saw an increase of 25 per cent in its spending over 10 years (2000-2010) compared with a three per cent population growth. That’s one of the better ratios in B.C. Central and North Saanich fall in the middle of the pack.

Sidney, Central Saanich and North Saanich do not appear to have major infrastructure challenges right now and have sought contributions for their infrastructure from developers. As such, Sidney and North Saanich are able to afford the luxury of $35,000 grants-in-aid programs. Other municipalities have much smaller budgets for this or none at all.

It’s a good position to be in, if you can get it.

Many urban areas have built or are considering building waste-incineration facilities to generate energy.

At first glance, it seems like a win-win. You get rid of “garbage” and acquire a new energy source with fuel that’s almost free. But it’s a problematic solution, and a complicated issue.

Metro Vancouver has a facility in Burnaby and is planning to build another.

Toronto is also looking at the technology, which is already being used elsewhere in the region, with a plant in Burlington and another under construction in Clarington.

The practice is especially popular in the European Union, where countries including Sweden and Germany now have to import waste to fuel their generators.

The term “waste” is correct; there’s really no such thing as garbage. And that’s one problem with burning it for fuel. Even those who promote the technology would probably agree that the best ways to deal with waste are to reduce, reuse and recycle it.

It’s astounding how much unnecessary trash we create, through excessive packaging, planned obsolescence, hyper-consumerism and lack of awareness.

We toss out lots of items that can be reused, repaired or altered for other purposes. As for recycling, we’ve made great strides, but we

still send close to three quarters of our household waste to the landfill. Considering each Canadian

produces close to 1,000 kilograms of waste a year, that’s a lot of trash.

Turning unsorted and usable trash into a valuable fuel commodity means communities are less likely to choose to reduce, reuse and recycle it. Burning waste can seem easier and less expensive than sorting, diverting and recycling it. But once it’s burned, it can never be used for anything else.

Incinerating waste also comes with environmental problems. Although modern technologies reduce many air pollutants once associated with the process, burning plastics and other materials still creates emissions that can contain mercury, dioxins and furans.

As with burning fossil fuels, burning waste – much of which is plastics derived from fossil fuels – also produces carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide emissions that contribute to climate change.

Burning waste doesn’t make it disappear, either. Beyond the fly ash and pollutants released into the atmosphere, a great deal of toxic “bottom ash” is left over. Metro Vancouver says bottom ash from its Burnaby incinerator is about 17 per cent the weight of the waste burned. That ash must be disposed of, usually in landfills.

Incineration is also expensive and inefficient. Once we start the practice, we come to rely on waste as a fuel commodity, and it’s tough to go back to more environmentally sound methods of dealing with it. As has been seen in Sweden and Germany, improving efforts to reduce, reuse and recycle can actually result in shortages of waste “fuel”!

We need to find ways to manage waste and to generate energy without relying on diminishing and increasingly expensive supplies of polluting fossil fuels.

Sending trash to landfills is clearly not the best solution. But we have better options than landfills and incineration, starting with reducing the amount of waste we produce.

Through education and regulation, we can reduce obvious sources and divert more compostable, recyclable and reusable materials away from the dump. It’s simply wasteful to incinerate it.

It would be far better to sort trash into organics, recyclables and products that require careful disposal. We could then divert these different streams to minimize our waste impacts and produce new commodities.

Organics used in biomass energy systems could offset fossil fuel use while creating supplies of fertilizers. Diversion and recycling lessen the need to extract new resources and disrupt the environment while creating more value and jobs.

LETTERSComposter squandered opportunity

D oubling the composting facil-ity along ‘Toxide’ Drive?

Under the CRD suspen-sion, Foundation Organics has been offered a unique

opportunity which they have com-pletely squandered. With the reduced incoming tonnage, they could have proven the technology, improved their handling of the raw product and proven their role as a socially responsible cor-poration.

However, even with this opportunity, they still can’t get it right.

Therefore, their application to CRD to increase the incoming raw material from 10,000 tons to 18,500 tons per

annum should be denied and in addi-tion, the existing facility should be shut down.

I was able to read their Aug. 30 appli-cation to the CRD with interest and a great deal of skepticism. I am aghast at the sheer effrontery of the application, the spurious claims made therein and the questionable science used to bol-ster their arguments.

For example, they have not provided a barrier to rats. A gentleman men-tioned at the Central Saanich Council meeting of Sept. 3 that he followed a loaded truck into the building. What’s to stop the rats from doing the same thing? According to a news report last

week, Vancouver Island is in the midst of a rat population explosion. In the application it is stated that they haven’t noticed any rats.

In addition, most of the residents of Central Saanich affected by the odour live outside the arbitrary 500m zone referred to on the final page of the application.

Why even draw a 500m circle? Municipal bylaw states smells are not

to leave the property. Therefore we can assume that Foun-

dation Organics don’t intend to abide by that law from the get go.

North Saanich council, McTavish roundaboutReaders respond: Courage, council

The Sept. 9 North Saanich council meet demonstrated the difference between Counsel-lors Brown, Daly, McBride and Mearns compared to Mayor Finall with Counsellors McMur-phy and Stock.

With standing room only, citi-zens expressed concern about the reports’ quality, impact on tax payers and failure to address affordable housing. Emphasis on increased den-sity ignored alternative hous-ing such as nanny suites, legal suites and housing for elderly or disabled.

Defeat of the staff recommen-dation to have a public review when impact information is available demonstrates con-tempt for citizen involvement.

I admire intelligent, thought-ful and courageous people who contribute to our community.

Thanks to recorded meetings, you can witness Mayor Finall, and Counsellors McMurphy and Stock steadfastly address issues through clear informed principles a contrast to off-the-cuff opinion and drama.

Noreen CampbellNorth Saanich

Council or Senate?It seems that some council-

lors have mistaken North Saa-nich for the Canadian Senate. Councillors Browne, Mearns and McBride find it is accept-able to walk off the job.

In most employment situ-ations other than the Senate, that would be grounds for dismissal. However they feel not only can they walk off the job, but that the recently held public hearing process involves only hearing and not actually listening to the con-

cerns repeatedly raised about their drive to impose high density, market priced hous-ing on the District.

Their plans do nothing to ease our affordable housing shortfall.

If they cannot be removed from office for dereliction of duty then they at least should do the right thing and resign since they do not have the public interest at heart.

A cruel jokeThe Kelset Elementary

School Grade 3 class “Let’s Design A Traffic Roundabout” contest was great fun but it’s time to be serious again.

There is no point on beat-ing this to death, as all are aware of the hilarious out-

come of a long and expensive project. As it has been func-tioning in it’s twisted manner for some time now, people are starting to become famil-iar with the drill.

I had the pleasure recently of instant religion when on a wet morning an SUV pilot decided he had to channel Danica Patrick on the last S curve feeding onto the McTa-vish roundabout. As he fish-tailed towards me I felt just a little queasy. Others are also deciding that they have to “whip” through the curves and attempt to straddle the poor mesmerized tourists yearning to return to Alberta by locating the exit for B.C. Ferries. Nobody is laughing anymore.

Fix this cruel joke now and make all of us safer.

NORTH SAANICH — Get a good ground-ing in traditional First Nations cooking this weekend at the North Saanich Farm Market.

Starting Friday eve-

ning, three fire pits will be dug, assembled and started in the garden area of St. John’s United Church, where the reg-ular market event takes place. Tsawout elder John Bradley (JB) Wil-liams and Earl Claxton Jr. will be barbecuing salmon and clams and contributing storytell-ing and oral traditions to the event. Members of the Tseycum nation, including elected Chief Vern Jacks, will contrib-ute venison for one of the pits and talk about local history and place names.

The third pit will have University of Victoria students of environmental stud-ies cooking local root vegetables for approxi-mately four hours on

Saturday, Sept. 21.The other pits will

begin their cooking Fri-day and be monitored overnight by the stu-dents. All the pits will be opened and the food served after the mar-ket closes for the day — between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Participation in the events, and sam-pling of the food, is by donation.

The North Saan-ich Farm Market itself

opens at 8:30 a.m. In addition to their usual local farm fare, there will be storytelling and local history, commu-nity map-making and a seminar on cordage making.

The market is at the St. John’s United Church at 10990 West Saanich Rd. and more details cane found at www.northsaanich-farmmarket.ca.

Wow! What a summer! I can’t remem-

ber a summer this won-derful since I was a kid running barefoot for these two spectacular months.

I know we need rain, but that’s out of our hands, so lets enjoy every moment of these wonderful, sunny days.

I’d love to go swimming but I know the water off Sidney is abso-lutely frigid. You don’t see anyone swimming (besides I no longer have a bathing suit, and as for skinny dipping, those days are long over). I jumped in off a boat here — once, on a dare — and everyone was impressed when I

bounced right back in, frozen solid.

I had a phone call from my son in Van-couver. He wanted the recipe for the peaches I had brought as a des-sert when asked to join his wife and himself for dinner. (Recipe at the end of the column.)

Naturally I was thrilled to be asked,

and hope his wife didn’t mind her hus-band asking his mother for a recipe.

It’s that time of year when I go into winter storage mode and make jelly, apple sauce to go in the freezer, chutney, search magazines and watch cooking shows for new recipes, peer with jealous eyes at laden apple trees in people’s yards and look with longing at fields of

ripening squash. There is one apple

tree loaded with Spar-tan apples in a yard I pass. These apples need to be thinned out. They are, too often, three in a cluster where two or even one would promote larger fruit. I think I’ll stop in one day and ask if he/she would consider sell-ing me some to make sauce. Last fall I remem-ber large clear plastic bags full of apples in that yard just lying on the ground. I hope they were headed to the food bank.

I do this every year: beg people with extra fruit to donate it to the food bank, or to Silver Threads and to phone a high school to see if they could ask for vol-unteer students willing to pick fruit.

No one wants to waste fresh fruit, so how about it?

If you don’t want all your pears, apples, prunes, peaches, grapes or figs, would you consider phoning me (250-656-5918) and telling me what you can spare and I’ll put it in the column and see if there is anyone inter-ested in helping us to not waste these marvel-ous gifts from God.

• • • •Fresh peaches

• One large pot of boiling water,one large pot of cold water.

• Drop peaches, one at a time, into boiling water (so water contin-ues to boil). After about one minute remove each peach and drop into the pot of cold

water. Peel should sluff off with a little encour-agement.

• Slice peaches into a bowl containing orange juice and brown sugar. (Amount of orange juice and brown sugar will depend on number of peach slices.) Make sure the slices all get their turn in this mix-ture, so they won’t turn brown.

• Pour half a cup of white wine over the fruit, again making sure each slice gets a turn in this tasty liquid.

• Put in the serving bowl and chill until time for dessert. You could add whipped cream, ice cream, or eat them as-is. Delicious!

Sidney’s latest ven-ture into theatre proved to be a success as the organizer of Bard on Beacon has expressed interest in continuing productions through the fall.

Steve Duck, owner of TIDES Group who pro-duced Sidney Shake-speare by the Sea, said the indoor and outdoor performances of A Mid-summer Night’s Dream and Romeo and Juliet over Sept. 6, 7 and 8 were well received by audiences. Performers came to Sidney for the weekend of shows from Victoria Shakespeare by the Sea and Discov-ery Dance Theatre.

“We had 60-plus audi-ence members attend every performance so we saw some good numbers turn out,” he said, adding the sea-side location in Beacon Park and the cast inter-acting with audience members really added to the shows.

“Everyone that came

and saw seemed to be really impressed. It was really refreshing to see how thrilled people were with this type of event even though it was a first time thing for Sidney.”

The event also raised $1,000 to support local charities like the Mary Winspear Centre Chil-dren’s Art and Music Fund, Team 4 Hope, and Tour de Rock.

Duck pitched the

idea of Sidney Shake-speare by the Sea and Bard on Beacon to the Town of Sidney early last summer but time constraints and bylaws which forbid events requiring tickets in Beacon Park put the idea on hold until this year when bylaws were revised.

Now, Duck said, he’s looking forward to planning something Shakespeare-esque for

the winter months as well.

“I’m hoping to do Macbeth in late Janu-ary at the Charlie White Theatre in the Mary Winspear Centre as well as do Macbeth outdoors in the sum-mer along with a Shake-spearian comedy,” he explained.

But for now, Duck is enjoying the afterglow of the successful first Shakespeare by the Sea

event.“I really have to give

credit to the Town of Sidney for taking the

chance and allowing this event in Beacon Park,” he said.

“I’m definitely look-

ing forward to doing it again.”

Europe’sBeauty Secret

Fewer lines and wrinkles, thicker hair, stronger nails and denser bones.

Collagen is the key. Molecular biologists have pinpointed the key structural protein for creating smooth skin, thick strong hair, and strong nails. It’s your body’s beauty protein, collagen. During youth, you have a rich abundance of collagen. In addition, the collagen forms itself in a resilient “tight mesh” matrix. This “ideal” collagen condition prevents wrinkles from forming, gives skin elasticity, helps create thick, beautiful hair and strong nails. But over the years, collagen diminishes.

Starting at age 21, collagen diminishes by 1% per year. By age 30, signs of reduced collagen on skin, hair and nails become visible, not to mention the increase risk of fracture for bones.

Say the words “healthy bones,” and the first word that probably pops up is calcium, but did you know that bones are made up of 30% collagen? Collagen provides strength and flexibility to bones. When collagen diminishes – your risk of fracture increases!

Now, genuine collagen regeneration is possible with clinically proven BioSil™. BioSil, a patented choline-stabilized orthosilicic acid (ch-OSA®) complex, helps your body to generate its own collagen to provide support for denser and more flexible bones as well as beautiful skin, hair and nails. BioSil has been tested in rigorous double-blind placebo controlled trials for both efficacy and safety.

Regenerate Collagen with BioSil, the only clinically proven product with ch-OSA – the most absorbable form of silicon.

A new monthly net-working group is set to meet on the Peninsula.

Green Drinks is an international organiza-tion that started in 1989 at a pub called the Slug and Lettuce in North London.

Edwin Datschefski was sitting with green design colleagues and noticed an enviro-minded acquaintance at a nearby table. As it turned out, the friend was also sitting with

other like minded indi-viduals and the the movement was born.

“A Victoria chapter has been running for a number of years and I was hearing from many people that a local chapter for the Penin-sula would be a good idea so I decided to get the ball rolling,” said Alicia Cormier.

The Saanich Penin-sula chapter will hold their meetings on the last Tuesday of every month from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m.

The first three meet-

ings (Sept. 24, Oct. 29 and Nov. 26) will be held at Zanzibar Café (1164 Stelly’s X Rd.)

Cost to attend is $10 and includes appetiz-ers.

“There are lots of benefits to green drinks; they are hard to quantify, but when you have seen people come and make new contacts, learn from one another and work together on new ideas and interesting projects it’s a good feeling,” said Cormier.

Those interested in learning more about the meetings can con-tact Cormier for details at 250-893-5070.

SIDNEY — On Wednesday, Sept. 25 Dallas Smith and special guests The Matinée hit the stage at the Charlie White Theatre.

Smith, who prior to his coun-try debut sang for the rock band Default, grew up listening to a staple of ‘90s and ‘00s country superstars.

When Default took a breather, Smith said he decided to liter-ally jump right in and pursue his country dreams and came out with his debut album Jumped Right In.

“The album title describes how this experience has gone for me,” said Smith.

“I kind of closed my eyes and made that leap of faith.”

The show starts at 7 p.m. and tickets are $39.50 through the Mary Winspear box office. Charge by phone at 250-656-0275 or online at www.marywinspear.ca.

DEATHS

Noreen JohnstonNovember 28, 1921 ~

September 9, 2013

She was brought up in Vancouver where she helped build planes at Boeing’s during the War. She married a RCAF Pilot soon after and later was dedicated to her daughter Jessoa Darwel and her husband Alexander Charles Johnston who in-creasingly became a disabled War Vet and passed away in 1971. In 1955 she began 11 years of service as President of the Vancouver Red Cross Volunteer Corps “of 1800” after 8 simultaneous blood transfusions saved her life. In the 1970’s and 80’s she volunteered in Victoria at Blood Donor Clinics, she worked at ‘Trident’ on the Peninsula in the late 1970’s. She traveled across Canada - and ex-tensively on the West Coast of the US - in her travel trailer, gold panning in the far North more than once. Her daughter pro-foundly respects her un-wavering honesty, cou-rage, patience and humility by which she never ceased to live her life.
