A long-time Town of Sid-ney staffer will take the vacant role of chief admin-istrative officer.

Randy Humble has been the director of develop-ment services for seven

years in Sidney. Over the last three months, he’s filled the role as acting CAO and now it’s official.

“Mr. Humble has shown in the past three months his abilities as an admin-istrator and leader,” said Sidney Mayor Larry Cross. “I am certain he will ensure that the directions set by council will be carried out efficiently and effectively. He has the respect of all staff for his forthright and direct style of leadership.”

Humble comes from a planning background, hav-ing served as a municipal planner in both Sidney and the City of Winnipeg.

Lifelong fisherman Don McIvor hopes to snag the big one and take home the biggest fish at the second annual Sidney Anglers Salmon Derby April 28. The derby raises funds for enhancement projects in the capital region.

Derby feeds into salmon systemArnold LimNews staff

While dozens of salmon are tugged out of the waters, the real winners could very well be the salmon themselves.

Ironically, the 250 fisherman in the second annual Sidney Anglers Salmon Derby battling to pull the biggest fish out of the ocean, actually help maintain local salmon stocks.

“The primary motivation for this is to return money to salmon enhancement,” said director of Sidney Anglers Dave Stephen. “There are a lot

of salmon enhancement projects, a lot of groups that are really, really underfunded. That was our idea, to pull together to fund some of these projects locally.”

The return of derby fishing after a three-year hiatus raised $4,500 in 2011, with proceeds donated to a number of salmon enhancement projects including the Goldstream Hatchery, Peninsula Streams, and the Colquitz Creek Proj-ect.

This year the $135 entry fee for two-day event includes a fisher’s meet and greet on April 27, and the derby and dinner on April 28. Organiz-

ers hope to raise $10,000, more than doubling last years haul with all proceeds again going back into salmon enhancement.

“If the derby can raise $10,000 and that is spent on salmon enhancement at the hatchery, you could be putting a million fish back into the water for the 50 fish that are going to be taken,” McIvor said. “That is the whole purpose of the derby, to enhance the stocks and spend money in enhancing habitat.”

Brentwood Chapel overlooks the water in Brentwood Bay.

Chapel sale on hold

Did you know?■ The congregation of Brentwood Anglican Chapel voted to disestablish as of the end of June 2010.

■ The closing service was held on Sunday, June 27, 2010.


Of three parcels owned by the Anglican church in Brentwood Bay, one is sold and the other two are in limbo.

“The property belongs to the Anglican Diocese, but there are some questions regarding the encum-brances on title,” said Chris Pease, asset manager for the Anglican Diocese of B.C. (Vancouver Island and Gulf Islands). “Although the title is in the name of the diocese we just want to make sure that what

still appears to be registered against the title has no effect.”In January 2010, the Diocesan Transformation Team, commissioned in 2008 by the synod

(the governing body of the diocese) released its report to the clergy, the parishes and the wardens of the diocese. It recommended closing and amalgamating churches.

Among those closed and to be sold were the chapel, rectory and chapel hall on Sea Drive in Brentwood Bay. “Council approved the sale of surplus properties,” Pease

said. “Once we discovered there were complications to title, we withheld it being put on the market.”

The chapel hall was sold privately. The listing price was $380,000.The rectory building is clear of encumbrances, “but at the moment

we’re just holding. … We’re going to have to discuss what to do with it,” Pease said.

The chapel itself is where concerns about the title go back to the days of Brentwood College. The boys school closed after a fire in

1947 that claimed all but the chapel. After that the chapel was governed by a board made up of

people from the college and the diocese. “It’s a matter of the shared responsibility by the Anglican

Diocese and the college,” Pease said. They’re unsure how it affects the ability to sell the property.

The chapel is “problematic” for resale uses, Pease said.

“The building from my perspective is a lovely old structure and it was built by the boys of the college. When you consider these were young chaps … they

did a really good job. It’s quite a structure,” he said. “The building is in relatively good condition, but if somebody wanted to convert it into residential

… it would be a difficult conversion.”[email protected]

There is a cost

to restoring dignityIt’s sure to be a solemn day for many of the

thousands taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission meeting today and tomorrow in Victoria.

The trauma inflicted by the 150-year legacy of Indian Residential Schools has shaped Canadian society as we know it. First Nations continue to have an uneasy relationship with the country they are born into. That won’t change after this weekend, or even once the commission finishes hearing from the 150,000 or so people expected to tell their stories.

We might ask if it’s worth the pain to reopen old wounds and whether we’d all be better off by simply forgetting what happened.

In the 21st century it seems beyond the pale for people to treat each other the way earlier generations did. We are a society that prides itself on our tolerance of others, but fact is we are not that far removed from our past. The idea of forcing hegemony was a popular notion among many Canadians throughout our history.

Almost every ethnic group that was somehow alien to the mainstream has stories of attempted assimilation. In almost every case the process was a profound failure.

But it is the residential schools – their thoroughness and persistence – that has left the largest legacy of damage to a population that really should be at the core of who we are as a nation.

We can argue that many First Nations children benefited by the educational opportunities that our government and churches provided. They were given a chance at an industrial quality of life that their culture often eschewed.

As many as 3,000 people are expected at the Victoria Conference Centre to add their voices to the commission. Some will recall the kindness of teachers and others who really believed they were doing what was best for the children in their care.

Others will reveal a depth of evil that provokes emotions that should be harder to stir from events that happened so long ago.

Canadians owe it to ourselves to at least listen to these stories. We need to remember what happened but doing so, in itself, won’t make things right.

It’s time to open ourselves to doing what will correct our past mistakes. We need to celebrate cultures that our authorities once tried to destroy. And we need to be willing to put our money where our mouth is, whether that’s in treaty negotiations or respecting the rights of First Nations to have a stronger say on how their traditional lands are used.

When Jacques Marc dove through the murky depths of Bed-well Bay, he knew what he was looking for but it still took him by surprise. He was headed to an underwater gravesite of a Second World War minesweeper. Despite its immobility, the 41-metre vessel that sunk in the ’50s still had a way of sneaking up on him.

He approached the site. The dark water sud-denly grew darker.

“You feel this black wall, but you don’t see it because of the poor vis-ibility. Then, eventually, you realize you’re right under it,” Marc tells me. “It was quite eerie. … The wreck sort of creeps up on you.”

As I listen to Marc, explorations director for the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia, a wave of intrigue grabs ahold of my gut.

On Brotchie Ledge, near Victo-ria’s outer harbour, rests a massive portion of the S.S. San Pedro, a San Francisco-bound collier that went down in 1891. The area is much brighter and far less spooky than Bedwell Bay’s minesweeper, Marc says. And though divers have pil-fered the site over the years, about 90 metres of hull, including the keel and floors, remain in water as shal-low as 10 metres, just off of Dallas Road.

The San Pedro is well known to

local divers who regularly slip past the array of anemones and long bull kelp engulfing the wreckage. Some-how, despite its much-documented place in history, people like me who claim an interest in all there is to see and do in Victoria continue to pass by the same stretch of ocean without taking notice. I could have

gone on my usual run for the rest of my life, admir-ing the kiteboarders and the Olympic Mountains from Dallas Road without ever wondering what lies beneath.

Not anymore.Marc is by no means try-

ing to sell me on the thrill of diving, but as he casu-ally describes some of the more than 100 wreck sites he’s seen, I make the com-mitment to myself to at

least give scuba a try.A whaling boat in the Inner Har-

bour? A cargo ship off Race Rocks? A lost paddle steamer in Cadboro Bay? Some 200 substantial wrecks, relics from the turn of the century, dot the seafloor surrounding Van-couver Island. Some are located, others remain undiscovered mys-teries.

Like I needed another reminder of why we’re so lucky to live in this little seaside city.

Tomorrow’s a landmark date for shipwrecks. On April 14, 1912 the Titanic famously collided with an iceberg in the north Atlantic. The

900-foot vessel, travelling from Southampton, U.K to New York City, sunk rapidly and claimed the lives of 1,500.

A barrage of television specials and news features along with the 3D rerelease of James Cameron’s 1997 blockbuster Titanic have marked the anniversary. A luxury cruise ship’s recreation of the Titanic’s intended voyage, complete with staff donning period costumes and menu featuring original Titanic fare, has also made headlines. I under-stand our obsession with the trag-edy and why Cameron has parlayed his role as a director into that of an underwater explorer. (Last month Cameron tweeted from a submers-ible at the Earth’s deepest point, the bottom of Mariana Trench.)

But you don’t need to plunge seven miles below the surface to make your own discoveries.

For anyone whose idea of under-water exploration is limited to visit-ing the Royal B.C. Museum’s former narrated elevator submarine experi-ence as a child (R.I.P. Open Ocean) maybe it’s time to challenge the sta-tus quo; remember what it’s like to be eight years old, constantly facing the unknown, and dive right in.

Thanks, Marc. I’m now totally fascinated by our

local shipwrecks and more than a little nervous to pull on a wetsuit and see one for myself.

I have been a permanent resi-dent on Northlawn Terrace in Sidney for the last eight years.

I turned down my street last week and noticed a metal struc-ture towering over my neigh-bour’s home at the end of the cul-de-sac. I was shocked and surprised to see such a mas-sive structure, so I walked into the yard to see what it was. I had assumed whatever was being built there wasn’t perma-nent.

When I spoke to the work-ers in the municipal yard they informed me it was and they said it was to replace the previ-ous building. They also men-tioned that is is 12 feet higher and is for offices and a lunch room for workers.

With all the property on that site could it not have been moved out of view? It’s now in plain sight of the main residen-tial area that backs onto it. A ridiculous eye sore has been

approved that could have been moved 50 feet to the left and would not be seen by anyone.

No one wants big box stores close to residential areas but a big box building is fine.

Where is the public consul-tation on these massive struc-tures, especially when they are made much larger than the pre-vious ones. Very short sighted and irresponsible.

Too many unknowns in Sandown proposal

How many people would take this offer? I’ll give you some-thing worth $2.4 million which is in need of repair and update, the costs of which are unknown and could greatly reduce its potential value, and in return you give me something unen-cumbered worth $4.1 million that with upgrades has a poten-tial value of $10.4 million.

This is the crux of the prob-lem that faced council with regard to Mr. Randall’s offer of a land swap of the Sandown prop-erty. There were just too many unknown costs.

I personally have no problem giving Mr. Randall a potential $10.4 million rezoning because I believe the addition of 12 acres of commercial land is in the best interests of the municipal-ity.

I would also like to see the municipality acquire the remain-ing 83 acres and to see that land actively farmed.

Here is a suggestion of how that might be achieved. Mr. Randall should undertake, at his cost, removal or renova-tion of all buildings on the site and the remediation of the

land to meet the municipal and Agricultural Land Commission requirements; deal with any environmental or archeological issues, etc.; and prepare the site for use by a body such as the Farmlands Trust for immediate agricultural use. Then, he can offer the 83 acres of unencum-bered farm land in return for a rezoning of 12 acres of unen-cumbered commercial land.

Everybody will know exactly what they are getting.

Mike StanlakeNorth Saanich

Flip-flop a ‘betrayal of democratic process’

The North Saanich council’s flip-flop on the Sandown lands seemed a betrayal of demo-cratic process. Four members voted to disallow drafting a memorandum of understanding with the Agricultural Land Com-mission, after a six to one vote in favour the week before.

An MOU is necessary in order to move the proposal along and allow a properly-negotiated transfer of land from the owner to the municipality.

The potential use of the major portion of this land for agriculture is now unlikely. Pub-

lic opinion appears decisively in favour of moving forward with the proposal, with a small minority dissenting.

In the recent council vote to reverse course, is reflected an apparent indifference to the public interest in these lands.

Jack ThornburghNorth Saanich

Residents should issue ‘game misconduct’

The playoffs have begun, but North Saanich won’t be getting the Sandown Cup. The team of four, after ragging the puck for months, missed the net yet again at the last council meet-ing when councillors Conny McBride, Dunstan Brown, Ted Daly, and Craig Mearns blocked a draft agreement to secure the former racetrack lands for the citizens of North Saanich.

Protecting agricultural land and food security, generating tax revenues and sustaining the rural character of our munici-pality is a trophy worth seeking. It’s a shame our side eliminated itself. The referees (residents) of North Saanich should issue Team 4 a game misconduct.

McIvor has been a fisherman “from the day I was old enough to walk up a hill.” At 74 years old, the Central Saanich resident believes he is one of the oldest derby fisherman in the

area and doesn’t plan on stopping any time soon. To this day, the allure of the sport and the importance of the cause keeps him coming back year after year – fishing for another shot at the grand prize.

“You can spend 10 hours in very inclement weather. Only other fish-ermen understand why you are out there,” McIvor said. “But I know why I am there. If you have your gear in the water, you have a chance of catching that [big] fish.”

Get coverage. RVs and

insure them

a c c o r d i n g l y .

For seasonal

vehicles, the declared value

becomes the policy limit and

the premium is based on

this value. It's important to

reconsider the value every

year: Is the vehicle worth more

because of modifications, or

worth less due to depreciation

and additional wear and

tear? Discuss this with a BCAA

Insurance Advisor when you

purchase or renew your policy.

Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical.

A basic ICBC policy does not

provide coverage for physical

damage or higher limits of

liability. You may want to

consider purchasing Collision,

and Comprehensive coverage

to ensure that your seasonal

Sidney Sister Cities will hold an open house to boost membership.

Meet the members and learn about Sid-ney’s three sister cities during the event.

“We just want to inform people what it is that makes citizen-ship in our association interesting,” said Mar-garet Boyd, member-ship chair.

The Sidney Sister Cit-ies Association orga-nizes exchanges of art and people between Sidney and the three sister cities of Niimi, Japan, Cairns, Australia and Anacortes, Wa.

“There’s a lot of things we’re looking at,” Boyd said of the activities. Along with ongoing exchanges in September students are coming to Sidney; and they’re working on yet

another art exchange with Cairns.

The association cur-rently has about 40 members. “We’re small but we’re growing,” said Boyd, who has been a member for about a year.

At the open house they’ll show the flags and a slideshow of each sister city. The member-ship will be on hand to chat with newcomers.

The open house is April 19 from 7 to 9 p.m. at the Shoal Centre in Sidney. Email [email protected] for more infor-mation.reporter@peninsulanews

The Peninsula Singers bring the Long and Winding Road as their spring offering at the Mary Winspear Centre. It will also feature young soloist Philip Manning.

Singers offer a soundtrack for lifeVirginia RouslinContributor

The Peninsula Singers invite you to take a musical journey down life’s road in their ambi-tious spring concert, The Long and Winding Road. The trip promises to be filled with songs from childhood to first love, from marriage to wisdom and from sorrow to joy.

Artistic director, Glenda Kore-lla was drawn to one of the last pieces Paul McCartney wrote for the Beatles as the theme for the concert.

“Though McCartney was writ-ing about the Beatles’ breakup, he could still see that the road he was taking would always lead to someone important waiting at the door,” Korella said. “’I thought this was a beautiful mes-sage as well as a theme around which I could plan our concerts. As the years pass, my admira-tion just grows for McCartney’s storytelling skills and his beauti-ful music.”

The road begins in childhood with the enduring Welsh lullaby “All Through the Night” and John Denver’s salute to happy days

we spent jumping up and down on “Grandma’s Feather Bed.” On the other hand, parents have their say with “Kids” from the comedy musical Bye Bye Birdie, where the Singers wonder why kids can’t be “like we were/ per-fect in every way.” Of course, what would life in song be with-out music that celebrates love, courtship and marriage? And so the concert will include “I’m in Love with a Wonderful Guy” from South Pacific with soloist Adrienne Dyer and “Get Me To the Church on Time”, from My Fair Lady, featuring soloist Syd Waldron.

Travel down life’s road will always include sharp turns, detours, and poor visibility. That’s when we need compan-ions and especially friends who

help us navigate the highway. And so, to salute friendship, Korella has chosen a beautiful arrangement in four-part har-mony of Simon and Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water”, that promises “when tears are in your eyes, I will dry them all.”

The Singers’ traditional Spot-light on a Young Artist will fea-ture violinist Philip Manning, a 20-year-old University of Victo-ria music major who performed with the Peninsula Singers in 2004.

In the intervening eight years, he has garnered numerous awards and scholarships and has performed twice with the Victoria Symphony.

“I’m excited and honoured to be invited back to play after a few years,” Manning said. “I appreciate the Singers’ great atti-tude about music and audiences. I’m also excited to be helping them in their contribution to the local music scene.”

Storyteller Lee Porteous and soloist Sherry Majocha who will sing “Memory,” a spoof of “Mem-ories” by Andrew Lloyd Webber, all about misplacing car keys and hoping Ginkgo Biloba might help.

Profits from the concerts will benefit the Saanich Peninsula Hospital Foundation’s Music Therapy Program.

Concerts take place April 27 to 29 at the Mary Winspear Centre. Tickets are $11 for kids under 12 and $22 for adults; available at the box office, 250-656-0275.

SPORTS

Arnold LimNews staff

Eight Central Saanich teens celebrate sisterhood and sport this weekend.

The Stelly’s high school stu-dents are set to compete in the 2012 BC Rugby high school girls provincial sevens at Thunderbird Stadium where 16 teams vie for the title of B.C.’s best.

“I am really excited, a tourna-ment like this is a chance to get a lot of games against teams we nor-mally don’t get a chance to play,” said team manager Jessi Dildy. “It is really great for our girls. It is a chance to build up a team and

have fun together.”Featuring teams from the Island,

Lower mainland, Fraser Valley and Okanagan regions, the Stelly’s Stingers will play a minimum of five games April 13 and 14 and Dildy is excited to be heading over competing in a sport the math and science teacher played as a high school student 13 years ago.

“The girls are really excited about rugby and that is one of the things we are trying to promote on the Island,” she said. “We have a rich culture of rugby here in Vic-toria and having the girls exposed to as much rugby as possible will encourage them to stick with the sport even after high school.”

One of the team’s leaders, 15-year-old Lydia Toorenburgh rel-ishes the idea of making her way to the University of British Colum-bia to test herself against some of the province’s best and gel as a team.

Toorenburgh believes the inclu-sion of sevens rugby in the 2016 Summer Olympics in Brazil and the strength of the Canadian wom-

en’s rugby team increases the momentum of a sport she believes is on the rise – offering opportu-nities that weren’t available for rugby players in the past.

“We can actually go somewhere if we are good enough and pas-sionate about it. As a woman it is a really exciting [time],” she said. “A lot of women’s sports in gen-eral don’t get enough light but the

fact we can really be something at something we care about is really exciting – to know the opportunity is there.”

She dispels the notion the vio-lence in the game will deter other girls from being involved and believes the hitting in the game is much more organic than in other sports and hopes once people try it, they will agree.

“I think the violence is a lot more natural. Rather than [like] hockey hitting against walls. Every [hit] feels right,” she said. “It is body on body with no protection … A kind of violence you are not afraid of and you are comfortable with see-ing. It is something you can do no matter the physical ability.”

This weekend her focus is on the five games (minimum) the team will play and looking forward to the challenge and the fun of being on the Lower Mainland plus spending time on and off the field with her teammates.

“It is going to be really fun, I am really passionate, we are going to have fun,” she said. “I love the team, the team loves each other – we are all sisters.”
