Inlet group wants sewage dumping stopped Steven Heywood News staff
A federal exemption is allowing the dumping of raw human sewage to take place in Saanich Inlet and a local protection group wants that revoked. Ian Cameron of the Saanich Inlet Protection Society (SIPS) says they have launched
an online petition and enlisted the help of federal Green Party leader Elizabeth May to have the government remove the inlet from the dumping exemption. Cameron said most inlets on B.C.’s coast do not allow the dumping of sewage from pleasure crafts within three nautical miles of shore. For narrow inlets, he said that means most are off limits to dumping. The exemptions, he

explained, were put in place for more north coast bodies of water where their length makes it impractical to ban dumping. “These (exemptions) were brought in last year,” Cameron said. “The Saanich Inlet was included in that but it’s not a good idea, as the inlet is not a good place for selfflushing.” A 1996 provincial environment ministry

NEWS REVIEW
Two men from Sidney, aged 45 and 64, have been arrested in a nationwide child porn investigation. Operation Snapshot III, involving 40 police agencies, swept up more than 150 people across Canada following an investigation that began in February. The local arrests were two of 29 made in B.C. alone. Five children were rescued in the operation, which targeted child sex offenders who collect, possess, share, distribute and produce child sexual exploitation material online. The 45-year-old man was charged with possession and making available child porn. The 64-year-old male faces the same charges, plus a charge of accessing child pornography. The two arrests in Sidney means there have been five related child porn incidents on the Saanich Peninsula in under two years. Corporal Erin Fraser of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP says there are more offenders in the community and police are pursuing additional cases. “These people are in every community,” she said. Fraser, who is a former member of the province’s Integrated Child Exploitation Unit, said this is a global problem, not just one facing the Peninsula. “There are not a lot of (offenders)
here,” Fraser explained. “We have just been able to detect it here with some pro-active investigations.” Two Peninsula residents were arrested last year on child porn charges. Another case involved a former member of the Sidney North Saanich RCMP. Former officer Dale Lee Sheets faces charges of possessing and making child porn. He was arrested by West Shore RCMP in December of 2013. Sheets was suspended and a code of conduct investigation started. He was subsequently discharged but the RCMP has not said whether he quit or was fired. In the most recent spate of arrests, police have stated the names of the men are not being released as other investigations continue and they do not want to identify the child victims. Fraser said these cases should encourage people to watch out for any sign an offense could be taking place. These could be in form of information from shared computers. “People tend to hide it very well,” she said. Fraser added this type of crime means somebody — a child — is victimized. “Every single image or video of a child that constitutes child pornography, is an image of a child being victimized.” — with files from the RCMP and Black Press

Don’t dump on Saanich Inlet
W
ith options on shore and even out at sea, there should be no reason pleasure craft in the waters of the Saanich Inlet should be dumping raw human
sewage. The Saanich Inlet Protection Society (SIPS) recently discovered there’s an exemption in place on the Inlet — allowing what is normally prohibited: the dumping of sewage directly into the water. SIPS is now conducting an online petition and enlisting the help of MP Elizabeth May to try to force the removal of that exemption. In the further reaches of longer and more remote inlets along B.C.’s northern coast, an exemption might make sense. With no access to pump out services and forced to travel for kilometers to be able to empty their tanks, pleasure craft would find it a hardship. In this instance, such an exemption is understandable. Not so much around southern Vancouver Island. There are two pump out stations at marinas on the Saanich Inlet. SIPS operates a mobile facility (on its last legs this summer) and there are other facilities in North Saanich and Sidney. There is no reason why sewage holding tanks cannot be emptied using those services. That said, Ian Cameron of SIPS notes the boating community on the Inlet is small — in the neighbourhood of 100 vessels — and little happens without other folks knowing about it. Dumping there might not be happening at an advanced rate as more and more people recognize their impact on the environment — and the services available there. Yet, it’s better safe than sorry. Removing the federal exemption will make the Inlet off limits to the dumping of raw sewage, as it is not wide enough to allow it under the normal rules. Maintaining this protection is needed to help return life to local shellfish beds and ensure visitors to the Inlet are not exposed to contamination like the region has seen at public beaches in recent weeks.

to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

LETTERS Common sense seems to be in the eye of the beholder Letters to the Editor I n explaining his rationale for approving a controversial rezoning application for a property in North Saanich last Monday night during a council meeting, Councillor Dunstan Browne cited “common sense” as his guide. District staff had recommended against the rezoning, which contravened the city’s own strategic plan. Nor would the newly created lot meet minimum size requirements for a second single family home. However, the rezoning was approved, allowing owners to split the lot in two, with the second piece to be sold or used for a second house. The property in question was rundown and looked, to Browne, like an abandoned piece of property.

This latest decision is great news for all those seeking to make a quick buck on the property market by circumventing all the local plans and bylaws and relying on the arbitrary “common sense” of Councillor Browne and his cronies. It’s not so good for the people living next to some other “eyesore” or even those who simply prefer some predictability when it comes to decisions about land use in North Saanich.

Readers respond: Bike races in Central Saanich, Sidney Museum doll exhibit Intersection not ideal for races Father’s Day weekend rolls around and, as always, the bike races are on. Central Saanich Road is part of this route — flag people stand at East Saanich Road near the intersection of Island View Road to stop traffic as cyclists cross the intersection. First, let me say, cycling is a wonderful exercise and hobby. Young and old can participate in this activity and it could even be the answer to the country’s weight problem. However, we all
have an agenda, and many of us are volunteers with schedules to meet, especially on that particular weekend. To have to wait in your vehicle while a bunch of racers cross the road is one thing. To continually wait for extended periods of time while a few stragglers way down the road catch up, is another. The bottom line is that the intersection of East Saanich, Central Saanich and Island View Roads is not well engineered for bike races like this one. And by the way, before the protesting volley of letters arrive,

Doll exhibit pleases all ages and genders Recently, my family visited the Sidney Museum with the intent of seeing the doll exhibit. The group of us were varied in age from eight to 91-yearsold and wondered — would a doll exhibit interest such a mixed age group of both males and females? It turned out that we all not only had
a fun time there, but also an interesting one. Over 400 dolls were beautifully displayed in the museum. My mother and I took in the happy memories of years ago, while my husband helped our grandchildren search for particular dolls and objects (one of the contests offered by the museum during the exhibit). Everyone was busy, entertained and happy! Many thanks to all those people at the museum who worked to put on what we think was one of the best family exhibits ever. Louise White Sidney

This inability of the inlet to assimilate contaminants led to 12 of 15 shellfish beds to be closed at that time to harvesting. The report called the Saanich Inlet “a threatened but still largely viable ecological system.” Cameron said SIPS has been calling various government officials to find out why the exemption was placed in the Saanich Inlet. He said to date no one has been able to give them an answer. “Somewhere, someone said it would be a good idea.”

Ian Cameron of the Saanich Inlet Protection Society. He added he didn’t get a sense that any lobbying for this exemption was even done, noting the boating community in the inlet is well-connected and there’s no indication a push was made from there. Cameron added there are around 100 pleasure craft in the
inlet, some of which have sewage tanks. SIPS has operated a mobile pumping station, the Humpty Pumpty, for years but he said due to its age and condition, this summer will be its last. Around the inlet, he added, there are sewage pump stations at the Brentwood Bay Resort and Angler’s Anchorage offering options for liveaboards and other vessels. The petition to have the exemption removed can be found at www.peninsulastreams. ca. Cameron said it is hopes May will be able to deliver the petition to the House of Commons in the fall.

Grand reopening of Tulista Park playground this weekend SIDNEY — The Sidney Lions Club and the Town of Sidney are unveiling the new playground equipment in Tulista Park this weekend. The new gear, valued at $70,000, was funded 50/50 by the Lions and the Town, explained Lions member, Bob Orchard.
“It’s all new, wheelchair accessible equipment,” explained Orchard, adding that the new structure even features a small climbing wall. The Sidney Lions Club, who are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year, were approached by the Town of Sidney over

McComb family were in North Saanich on the weekend, making this their second Cycle of Hope event in two years. Last year, they raised around $17,000 for ALS research and support for the ride in Kelowna. The family, from Coquitlam and Pitt Meadows, said it’s important for them to help raise the profile of ALS, which often doesn’t get the attention it needs. “I think it’s important that we can be a supportive group,” said Neil. “We hope to increase awareness, help families and people with ALS and aid research for a cure.” On Sunday, riders gathered at Rotary Park for the ride around the Flight Path, the airport’s new multi-use trail. The event is a fundraiser to help people fight ALS.

Lonely Heartstring Band to play Charlie White Theatre Devon MacKenzie News staff
A connection to the Saanich Peninsula has brought the Bostonbased Lonely Heartstring Band to Sidney for a show at the Mary Winspear Centre tomorrow (Thursday) night. The five-member band made up of Patrick M’Gonigle, George Clements, Charles Clements, Gabe Hirshfeld and Matt Witler is on their first west coast tour. M’Gonigle, the band’s fiddler and a former Peninsula resident and Stelly’s Secondary graduate, made sure Victoria was a stop on the band’s tour. “It’s great to be back here and we’re looking forward to showing the community a little snippet from Boston’s music scene,” he said. The band plays classic bluegrass music and has been working hard recently to produce original music in hopes of releasing an album sometime in the fall or winter. “The music we play is really accessible, it appeals to a wide range of people and I think audiences will really enjoy this show,” said George.
Cycle of Hope Continued from page 8
This month and through July, Cycle of Hope is the charity of the month in Victoria Bottle Depot locations. People can drop their refundables in the charity bins at the depots at 4261 Glanford Ave., 655 Queens Ave. and 3961 Quadra St. For information, visit www.cycleofhope.ca.
The show at the Winspear Centre will be opened by musicians Allison DeGroot, Jack Devereux (both from Boston) and Adam Iredale Gray (from Victoria) and will be followed by the Lonely Heartstring Band’s set featuring a mix of original music and covers of popular pop favourites including songs by The Beatles. “That’s actually how we got started,” laughed M’Gonigle. “Someone was looking for a bluegrass band that played Beatles songs for their wed-

M’Gonigle studied classical violin with Yasuko Eastma in Victoria and when he started
to branch out into jazz, blues and bluegrass music Sharon Stanis (UVic Music, Lafayette Quartet) suggested he apply to Berklee College of Music in Boston. Now, he is currently working on his Master’s in contemporary improvisation at Boston’s New England Conservatory of Music. Wittler, Hirshfeld and George and Charles Clements have all won major national awards for their musical talents and George also currently plays with the Boston Symphony when he’s not touring
with the band. “When we came together and started practising together it all felt very organic,” said George of the band’s chemistry. After playing the Sooke River Bluegrass Festival last week and the show in Sidney this week, the band is headed for Tofino and then more shows along the west coast of Canada and the U.S. before they fly back to Boston from Los Angeles. “We’re playing four festivals on the east coast later this summer as well as we’re hon-
oured to be a part of IBMA’s World of Bluegrass Week in North Carolina this year at the end of September,” said M’Gonigle. The show at the Charlie White Theatre at the Mary Winspear Centre takes place Thursday, June 26. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the music starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets ($15 for adults or $10 for 18-years-old and under) are available by calling 250-656-0275 or visiting www.marywinspear.ca.

Molnar wins Freedom 55 women’s singles Steven Heywood News staff
Guelph, Ontario’s Sonja Molnar was able to overcome the strong serve of opponent Tori Kinard and win the Freedom 55 Financial IFT Women’s Tennis singes event on Sunday. Hosted by Panorama Recreation all last week, the tournament featured 32 young women from North America, the Pacific and Europe vying for a share of the $10,000 purse. The women’s singles final match took two sets, with Molnar scoring a sequence of winning shots to prevail in the final set, 7-5. The first set was won by Molnar, 6-4.
“It was fantastic today because of the crowd,” Molnar said following the match. “That really helped me, especially in the second set when I was down a little bit.” This was Molnar’s second tournament win since early last year and she gets back on the circuit in a few weeks in Quebec. “I have to remind myself that it’s fun and not to put too much pressure on myself.” Molnar credited Kinard for a hard match and expects to see her again this season. Molnar was ranked second on the tournament, Kinard was ranked in the top spot. For her part, Kinard

PENINSULA PENINSULA NEWS NEWS REVIEW REVIEW -- Wednesday, Wednesday, June June 25, 25, 2014 2014
Piranhas swim team in the pool NORTH SAANICH — There was some excellent racing in the pool by members of the Piranhas Swim Club recently. Impressive results came from Nate Truong and Caleb Stewart. Nate broke Michael Calkin’s (who still has a few standing 12 and Under winter club Canadian National records) 50 freestyle 1988 record in a time of 32.57. Caleb broke Steven Tait’s 1993 50 free record in a time of 25.73. Tait is a current Piranhas parent. Ben Truong also broke Haldon Craig’s 2011 50 Backstroke club record (44.75).

Central Saanich Extreme Fastball Club’s U10 Tier 1 team coached by Terry Gudjonson won a silver medal at their city Districts held last weekend. Out in Sooke, the club’s Tier 2 team, coached by Neil McKenzie, battled it out to win a bronze medal at their districts.
Three Pen Track athletes off to B.C. Summer Games Danny Daniels
year’s High School Race Walk Champion, took on the challenge of hosting the “Panther Mile”, a fundraising effort to aid in the eventual replacement of the running track at Parkland School. Assisted by several classmates and older members of Pen Track acting as Race Marshals, the event began in front of the school, following an out-and-back course to and over the main road to the ferry terminal. An encouraging response saw a fleet of competitors, including one on crutches, turning out for what might become an annual end-of-year event for Parkland School.
