There’s no shortage of issues to think about for Central Saanich’s two mayoral candidates, who are vying to replace outgoing Mayor Jack Mar. Today we speak to Christopher Graham and Alastair Bryson
Growing up on council Opportunity knocks

Central Saanich Councillor Alastair Bryson leans against the gate to his Mount Newton Valley farmland. Bryson is a farmer and veterinarian by trade.

Christopher Graham paddles to the dock at Van Isle Marina, where he operates a kayak rental business. The former four-term councillor also operates a family farm on Senanus Drive.
Christopher Graham, the one-time teenaged councillor who served 12 years on Central Saanich council and is taking his second run at the mayor’s chair, says he’s learned something from all three mayors he worked with.
Wayne Hunter, Alison Habkirk and soon-to-be-retiring mayor, Jack Mar — whom Graham lost to in 2008 — each demonstrated characteristics that are useful in leading a municipality, he says.
Hunter showed him the ability to place people in areas where they had strengths, Habkirk was a talented critical thinker and Mar an excellent listener.
Now 33, Graham believes his own leadership style borrows from all three.
“People like feeling empowered,” he says, noting that such a scenario helps move projects toward completion more
efficiently and effectively.Empowering residents with the feeling
they are being heard is crucial for council to making decisions that are right for the community, he says.
Graham gives as an example a council decision to remove the owner-occupancy clause from the secondary suite bylaw. He takes issue with council revisiting the clause, when more than 80 per cent of residents surveyed five or so years ago supported the owner-occupy rule.
“When there’s no evidence that’s changed, that, to me is a form of top-down democracy. I believe in a bottom-up approach — enacting the community’s agenda rather than my own.”
Driving down a long, sloped pathway off Mount Newton X Road, one reaches the home of Alastair Bryson.
The property, bounded to the west by Woodwynn Farm and to the south by Tsartlip First Nation land, sprawls across a chunk of the Mount Newton Valley.
“Don’t worry about your shoes. As you can see, this is a farmhouse,” Bryson, the mayoral candidate, tells the visitor, who notes the unfinished wooden floors.
The home is not showy or flashy, but appears perfectly functional.
It should come as no surprise then, that this two-term Central Saanich councillor hasn’t been hitting the campaign trail hard, shaking hands and making appearances around the municipality.
“The campaign is a bit of a flash at
best,” he says. “The question (for voters) is how have I represented them over the past six years? I trust the community to make the decision and decide who can make the most useful mayor.”
Voters have many concerns, from the state of the district’s finances, to boosting a struggling Keating X Road industrial park, to accommodating and allowing for residential and commercial growth.
In his time on council, Bryson, 52, has seen the district’s financial position continue to take a nosedive. Cutting into the current $13-million debt will take “careful financial management,” and increasing the district’s tax base through various types of development, he says.

Handy flower potSidney resident Joan Beise replaces pansies in the hands of the fisherman statue near the Sidney pier during a walk on Sunday. She and her husband head to the pier daily to feed the seagulls.
The property identified in a pho-tograph that ran alongside the story “District to oversee fill movements” (Nov. 9, PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW) con-tained incorrect information.
The property owner has not
accepted fill on the land, nor was any soil dumped on the land. The photo depicts the construction of an irriga-tion pond using on-site material.

Council battle royalIn the last instalment of our candidate profile series, the Peninsula News Review hears from individuals running for North Saanich council positions in the Nov. 19 elections. We present their responses here and on page A6.
Allan CollierAge: 65Occupation: RetiredFamily status: MarriedPolitical experience: Two years as School
District 63 trusteeHow long have you
lived in the municipal-ity? 18 years
What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Continuance of open and responsible gover-nance.
How do you hope to solve it? By being elected.
What do you think council has done well this term? Opened communication with community, capped tax increases, added youth to commis-sions.
What would you do on council to improve it? Streamline approval informa-tion for residents and businesses.
Celia StockAge: Did not provideOccupation: ConsultantFamily status: Married with four children
and six grandchildren.Political experience: I was elected alder-
man on Yellowknife city council and chaired the finance and legislation committee.
How long have you lived in the munici-pality? Six years.
What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? For now and over the next three years it is dealing with the short-fall between the cost of providing municipal services and the rev-enue generated. This has an implication for both residential and commercial taxes.
How do you hope to solve it? In these reces-sionary times, I want to be careful with our tax money and maintain a strong tax base. I will ensure that we receive maximum value for our money, continue the rebuilding of our reserve funds and keep property taxes low.
What do you think council has done well this term? Encouraged development and improved communication with residents. They have been sound financial managers, won an award for their agricultural policy,
encouraged the Flavour Trail and farm mar-kets and acted positively to improve cycling infrastructure.
What would you do on council to improve it? Encourage development within the framework of the official community plan, protect our marine habitat, farmland and parks and preserve the integrity of the Agricultural Land Reserve; help complete a comprehensive drainage plan for the Dis-trict. Community outreach, cycling infra-structure and streamlining the permitting process are also important.
Elsie McMurphyAge: 65Occupation: RetiredFamily status: MarriedPolitical experience: School trustee for
nine yearsHow long have you lived in the munici-
pality? 35 yearsWhat do you feel is the single biggest
issue in this election? On the doorstep, North Saanich residents tell me they would like to see a little more development and some more affordable housing, but the sin-gle biggest issue is how much they value and want to preserve the nature of our com-munity: “I like it just the way it is.”
How do you hope to solve it? The offi-cial community plan gives council a power-ful statement of direc-tion: to retain the rural, agricultural and marine character of North Saanich. I look for-ward to engaging with the community in the five-year review of that document. I sup-port slow, controlled development and the regional housing and growth strategy.
What do you think council has done well this term? Kept taxes low, improved communications with residents, simplified bylaws and expanded land-use regulations. Great bike paths. Excellent potential in the Sandown lands. Award-winning community agriculture strategy.
What would you do on council to improve it? My experience as a school trustee in handling public finances, stretch-ing tax dollars and reconciling conflict-ing demands, along with my commitment to open, respectful communications will enhance work council is already doing. North Saanich residents should be able to count on clear, complete information from their municipal hall.
Jack ThornburghAge: 72Occupation: Semi-retired counsellor and
caregiverFamily status: MarriedPolitical experience: Served on Port
Alberni city council in the 1990sHow long have you lived in the munici-
pality? Five years.What do you feel is the single biggest
issue in this election? Differing views about the District’s official community plan.
How do you hope to solve it? Helping edu-cate people about the role, purpose and com-munity benefits of the OCP.
What do you think council has done well this term? Council has set a tone of civil dis-course; has pursued some good initiatives such as the Sandown proposal, the pilot project on secondary suites, and bike lanes; and has taken care to work within the official community plan.
What would you do on council to improve it? My background includes much experience in mediation and consultation, and I believe I can help improve communi-cation between the District and residents on issues of mutual interest and importance.
Ted Daly Age: 59 Occupation: Labour relations consul-
tant Family status: Engaged with two grown
children. Political experience:
18 years municipal experience, including nine years on Sidney council (1990-99) and nine on North Saanich council (1999 to 2002 as councillor, 2002-08 as mayor), six years as a director on the Capi-tal Regional District board.
How long have you lived in the munici-pality? 12 years
What is the single biggest issue in this election? The Sandown proposal. There are too many questions and not enough answers. This issue needs comprehensive public input and consultation.
What you do to solve it? I would ensure there is extensive opportunity for
public review and input. No decisions should be made until all details have been fleshed out and presented to the public.
What has council done well this term? Improved the sound system in the coun-cil chambers and made webcasts of their meetings available.
What would you do on council to improve it? Bring a balanced approach. The council has served the residents who live in the agricultural areas of the district well, but the residents who live in other areas haven’t been given the same atten-tion. I would ensure that we listen to our entire community.
Conny McBrideAge: 64Occupation: Retired insurance brokerFamily status: Widow with extended fam-
ily in Victoria.Political experience: No publicly elected
experience.How long have you lived in the munici-
pality? Moved here in 1999, but had been a weekender since 1991.
What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Sandown, it’s a com-plicated issue. Free land is tempting, but the costs could cripple the taxpayers for years to come and make it a white elephant. It is already in the Agricul-tural Land Reserve, so we are not “saving” it. Dealing with the build-ings, drainage, water, electrical environmen-tal studies, and making land farmable would be expensive.
How do you hope to solve it? Come up with a comprehensive business plan, with input from the community, and not just a few people. Not all this land is farmable and our hands should not be tied for years to come. Further, open discussion is needed on the exact use of this property, i.e., what type of agriculture and who will use it.
What do you think council has done well this term? Web cam for council meet-ings lets the taxpayers see what happens at these meetings.
What would you do on council to improve it: Be more inclusive, appreciate all opinions and decide on the best course of action. Appreciate the diversity of this community, after all, we are not all farmers.

Revitalizing the Keating business district is also on the minds of voters, he’s found from talking to hundreds of residents in the municipality.
After spending resources building up Brentwood Bay and Saanichton, Graham says, it’s time for the district to devote time and energy to bringing business back to Central Saanich’s primary industrial/
commercial district.In creating a business-
friendly climate there, he says, “You wouldn’t use the Keating model in Brentwood Bay or Saanichton. You’ve got to recognize it for what it is.”
Instead of creating specific zoning for the area that would throw up a stop sign for certain businesses, he says, why not open it up for myriad potential uses, after hearing from residents what they wouldn’t like to see allowed there?
Asked how he’d deal with a $13-million municipal debtload,
Graham first clarifies that a major factor in the district’s need to take on debt was a $1.25-million cut in annual funding from the provincial and federal governments. “That’s a big hit for a small municipality.”
Doing due diligence on infrastructure projects such as the new fire hall, and such community amenities as the Wallace Drive tennis courts, an $800,000 facility whose cost tripled from the original plan, will help the district keep a handle on its debt, he [email protected]
The residential densification study commissioned by the district will determine what is and isn’t acceptable for residents in terms of development, and will be critical to shaping the vision for Central Saanich. Doing so would give potential investors a clearer idea of what the expectations are here, he says, whether they are looking at
Keating, Saanichton, Brentwood Bay or elsewhere. “Dollars are lost by not having a defined vision,” Bryson says.
Making Central Saanich a more inviting place to do business requires changing from a “persuade us” approach to development proposals to “What can we do to help you?”
“It’s a bit of a land-of-plenty, complacency approach,” Bryson says. “Fiscally that may not be sustainable.”
It may take a change in the culture of staff as well as for politicians to show a will to
change things, he adds.Asked what Central Saanich’s
biggest challenges are, he uses his favourite word: opportunity.
“We have to keep Central Saanich providing opportunities for farmers to make a living, for businesses to thrive and for families to have opportunities to live and obtain affordable accommodation.”
Recognizing that a healthy, prosperous municipality depends on all of those aspects is critical to moving Central Saanich forward, he [email protected]

Alastair weighs inOn recording council votes: “When you’re thinking about the details of an item, it can be tough to remember to ask that your vote be recorded. It should just be automatic.”On supporting farmers: “We’ve done a good job protecting agricultural land from development. We have to look closer at the potential of the land and represent that to the region.”On housing for local employees: “Under our densifi-cation policy, there is an opportunity to create higher-density developments with street-level commercial. That will provide housing and help our tax base.”
Chris weighs inOn Keating X Road: “The district has limited resources, (but) making Keating work should be a top priority in terms of planning. On hiring an economic development officer: “There’s merit in the idea — in branding our area for tourism and for farmers. If you can attract people to the gate, farms will benefit.”On dealing with debt: “We’ve been a pay-as-you-go municipality, rather than setting aside money for future projects. (Setting aside funds) has the effect of keeping people’s hands out of the cookie jar, because they know that cash is allocated for something.”

Work is progressing on the new Boulders Climbing Gym next to Stelly’s secondary, but already it has earned worldwide attention.
When the doors for-mally open on Dec. 10, top competitive climb-ing athletes such as Can-ada’s Sean McColl and Mathilde Becerra from France will be among those first tackling the four-storey wall.
The facility is expected to be substan-tially complete by late November.
There are already a number of competitive events scheduled for the gym.
About 400 people are expected to gather next April when Boulders hosts the Western Cana-dian Climbing Champi-onships.
“The World Youth Climbing Champion-ships are coming here (in 2013), and we already have international stu-dents registered to train here,” said Kimanda Jar-zebiak, Boulders Climb-ing Gym Society chair.
“We have a South African stu-dent coming in February.”
And the International Olym-
pic Committee has announced that climbing will be a sport con-tested at the 2020 Games.
The main wall makes the new
Boulders one of the top two training facilities in North America, and is unique in Canada.
Once the climbing complex is complete, it will offer space for everyone from begin-ners to world-class champions to practice and compete.
It will be distinct for how it combines areas for sport as well as adaptive recreation and dance — the Aeriosa Dance Society is relocat-ing to the Saanich Pen-insula to be able to use the centre.
It will be a cross-train-ing facility as well, offer-ing yoga, Pilates and dance.
Jarzebiak said the ability for the public to access the climbing wall will depend on the con-struction schedule.
Meanwhile, the soci-ety got a major finan-cial shot in the arm last week when Peninsula Co-op announced it was giving a $50,000 dona-tion to help fund the gym’s expansion.
That means just over $2.3 million of the total $2.8-million project
costs has been raised.Watch for details at www.

Don’t Retire VisionYou don’t have to worry about running out
of vision. It’s not like you can use it up and then there is no more left. As long as the eye is healthy it will pick up visual signals and transmit them to the brain to be interpreted. It will go on doing this indefi nitely without ever quitting.
The muscles of the eye, on the other hand, can become fatigued. Long periods of con-centrated reading or close work may weary them to the point where they just cannot go on responding to the demands put on them. The need a temporary rest. It is this feeling of the eye fatigue which has let to the myth that vision can be “worn out”. The sad thing about this is that many older people voluntarily limit the use of their eyes. They cut back on their reading, sewing and television watching for fear of losing their remaining eyesight. Well, there’s no reason to retire vision. With good health and suitable vision aids, there are no limits to what you can see.
And, in fact, the one person you should make a point of seeing on a regular basis is your Optometrist.

as a councillor in Natal, South Africa; elected to North Saanich council.
How long have you lived in the municipality? 23 years
What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Restraint; unnecessary spending in relation to the over-emphasis on the promotion of agriculture and on use-less consul-tant reports, which also applies to the proposed acquisition of the Sandown lands.
How do you hope to solve it? Change the way council deals with issues, from an emphasis on process to a common-sense approach that results in taking action within our means.
What do you think council has done well this term? The introduction of controlled video/audio of council meetings. That is good communication and good transparency.
What would you do on coun-cil to improve it? Review and curtail restrictive legislation, and allow our residents to enjoy their properties without burden-some red-tape regulation and excessive costs. Bad laws make criminals of honest residents.
Craig Mearns Age: 69Occupation: RetiredFamily status: Did not
respondPolitical experience: Elected
to North Saanich council in 2010
How long have you lived in the municipality: 15 years
What do you feel is the single biggest issue in this election? Control of tax increases, over regulation, and protection of pri-vate property rights.
How do you hope to solve it? Reduce regu-lation, i.e. get rid of wildfire hazard zones and limit tax increases to the rate of inflation.
What do you think coun-cil has done well this term? Improved the sound system in the North Saanich hall.
What would you do on coun-cil to improve it? Focus on effi-
ciency and costs.
Ted Izard Age: 64Occupation: RetiredFamily status: MarriedPolitical experience: No pub-
licly elected experienceHow long have you lived in
the municipality? 32 yearsWhat do you feel is the single
biggest issue in this election? Permit fee increases. Develop-ment and rezoning application fees were greatly increased in October 2010, when council was two mem-bers short. The ratio-nale for these increases was to cover some costs. Many of these per-mits are only required because of restrictions that were written into the official community plan in 2007.
How do you hope to solve it? Get public input through ques-tionnaires.
What do you think council has done well this term? Held reviews of the Marine Task Force report.
What would you do on coun-cil to improve it? Act on the rec-ommendations, taking note of the concerns that were voiced from the floor.

Candid shots used for dog book due out in new year
Bill Kierans sees the streets of Sidney as characterized by the plethora of dogs.
“There are dogs on the sidewalks, in cars, in businesses, and outside restaurants,” he said.
“Dogs are always good conversation starters so it’s not unusual to see a dog in the centre of a group of chatting pedestrians, and maybe even looking up as if participating. It all adds to the friendly atmosphere, and to tourist memories.”
For the last few months, the Sidney man has been taking candid photos of local dogs in their everyday surroundings and recording anecdotes and background about their life for a promotional book called The Dogs of Sidney by the Sea.
Publication is expected early in 2012, not as a money-making venture, more to showcase Sidney’s friendly atmosphere.
“Most of the pictures were candidly taken in downtown Sidney but some in nearby communities as well,” Kierans said.
“This is not a contest but something much more important; a candid collection of dogs as they appear everyday on the streets of Sidney. No posing, no enhancing (the) background, no breed stance, no treat held in the air, just the dogs as seen every day in Sidney and nearby communities.”
Every dog has a story and their owners, walkers, rescuers, and babysitters are sharing background anecdotes about their four-legged family member.
The stories recount their favoured
pastimes, history, frequented downtown businesses, routines, and other engaging characteristics.
Owners are not identified.
Nominate your favourite canine for the book by emailing [email protected].

EDITORIAL
The red-headed stepchild of democracy is shivering on the doorstep again. Most won’t open the door.
Local government elections are always overshadowed by louder events, and this year is no different. The “Occupy” nonsense, the teachers’ strike, the precarious economy and the media’s fixation on them are part of the problem.
But let’s face it. Public indifference to local government has left it mainly to self-serving politicians and special interest groups. Community newspapers soldier on in the three years between elections to highlight issues and choices, but few people join the debate at voting time.
The recent Union of B.C. Municipalities convention demonstrated this. Local politicians love to tell senior governments what to do. They’d much rather debate smart meters or bad old Ottawa’s RCMP costs than talk about their own performance.
Most of the mayors and councillors on hand were unhappy with the province’s plan to appoint a municipal auditor-general to examine the efficiency of municipal spending. Just another layer of bureaucracy, according to these experts on the subject.
At the convention, I asked NDP MLA Carole James about this. A veteran of local government, she observed that it would be awkward
for local politicians to go back to their communities and campaign against accountability.
There is much that is not discussed and it goes beyond technical details like performance auditing. How about amalgamation in places where there are clearly too many municipal boundaries, policing is fragmented and administration is duplicated? You won’t hear much about that, unless a lot more voters insist on it.
Business groups and community newspapers raise it, and it fades away. Not enough people care. Few challengers and even fewer incumbent politicians signed the taxpayers’ pledge offered up at local election time by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business. It’s a modest proposal to match spending growth with real growth.
Candidates don’t want to talk about the fact B.C. municipal spending, adjusted for inflation, is growing almost four times as fast as population growth. Pay and benefits for municipal employees grow much faster than private sector rates. Not enough people care.
The Canadian Union of Public Employees is campaigning against contracted private development of water utilities. They prefer their high-cost monopoly. And outside their special interest support, not enough people care.
School board elections have
become even more of an insider activity. To take one example, a school trustee candidate forum in Abbotsford last week started with a protest march by 18 teachers. They carried their message inside, demanding smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of demands in their dysfunctional relationship with the provincewide bargaining agent.
Of course school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues. The province took away school board taxing authority long ago, because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting numbers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions.
(If anyone has attended a trustee forum that wasn’t taken over by teachers, please e-mail me. I haven’t heard of one for years.)
There are still things you can do to compare candidates, and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls.
Please, check this paper’s website for surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: [email protected] or fax 250-656-5526. All letters must have a name and a telephone number for verification.
One of the first signs of election season is the sprouting of candidate signs all over the landscape.
On the agriculturally rich Saanich Peninsula, the crop of signage has been a bumper one, with posters of all colours and sizes hammered into the ground from Tanner
Ridge to Swartz Bay.As we head into the
final days of the 2011 municipal election campaign, the signage is at its ripest point,
ready to be picked.Candidates have a relatively limited
number of ways to get their message out in a broad manner. Other than advertising in print or online publications, or speaking at an all-candidates’ meeting, they usually involve either putting out as many lawn signs as possible, or distributing leaflets to mailboxes in their respective municipalities.
The accumulation of signs in high-traffic areas, such as the corner of the Pat Bay Highway and Beacon Avenue, and the highway and Mount Newton X Road, is almost to the point of being a hazard to drivers.
On the one hand, the larger signs appear almost like an extension of the billboard section of the Pat Bay Highway and thus, don’t seem so out of place. On the other, the small signs often appear more as a blight on the landscape given their proliferation.
Now, we’re all for freedom of speech and of expression, but in this way election time offers up the most extreme example of democracy run amok.
We have to question just how effective peppering a block with signs is, in terms of securing name recognition for a candidate. But hey, we’re not experts in human psychology.
We appreciate the need to get one’s name out there in an effort to get elected, but we also appreciate when the elections are over and the signs come down.

Another boring day at the waterfrontA seagull sitting with a cormorant and a fellow gull appears weary of the situation during a Sunday afternoon sit near the Beacon Pier in Sidney.
Unlike Occupy, reader doesn’t begrudge banks
The recent Occupy protests perplex me.
I recently noticed a banner in downtown Victoria proclaiming the “people’s protest.” I have nothing to pro-test. I am not one of those “people.”
I presume my upbringing was dif-ferent from those in the square. I prefer to make my own way and my own money; I am doing that well, if I do say so myself.
I don’t want any bankers to give me their “enormous” prof-its. They can earn it and spend it wherever they like and assist our consumer-based economy.
In my opinion, these protesters are too busy hanging about while the rest of us make what we can of our lives. If they don’t like the way their life is going, they should change it themselves, not pro-test that someone else should change.
They may want to start with a shower, a shave and a job inter-view.
Michael Klassen Sidney
Incoming Sidney council should consider pay freeze
Re: Co-op member feels left out of develop-ment loop (PNR Let-ters, Nov. 9)
I wholeheartedly agree with the let-ter writer and have expressed the same concerns, via email to the Co-op board of directors.
To date, no one from Co-op has replied back or made any attempt to contact me. I, too, wonder why this new move was never put to the membership and agree, it is likely because it would have been voted down.
Not only will Co-op’s move to Stelly’s X Road disrupt the current country atmosphere, it will do so with a likely high financial burden to Central Saanich taxpayers. Stelly’s X Road as it is now will not accommodate the expected increase in traffic. It is a narrow road and pedestrians
must be very cautious walking on the narrow shoulder.
As stated by Cen-tral Saanich council, a move to the Tsartlip land will result in a tax loss to our commu-nity of approximately $70,000.
Is Co-op going to pay for the necessary road widening or, the traffic signals that will even-tually be required at either end of Stelly’s in order to accommodate the expected increased traffic volumes? No, it will most likely revert to we taxpayers.
Co-op will lease the land for the new store. Are there no properties big enough to lease in the nearly empty Keating area? Taxpay-ers of Central Saanich, express your concerns to both Co-Op and council. Your pocket-book will thank you.
Terry AlbrechtCentral Saanich
People need to ask themselves before Satur-day’s municipal election (Nov. 19) how is my tax dollar being spent?
While I have respect for our municipal employ-ees, I think a 13-per-cent increase in costs for the hourly paid staff (over three years) is pretty rich, but a 26 per cent increase in costs for manage-ment staff is unacceptable.
One wonders who’s in charge of our municipality.
I would expect the mayor and incoming coun-cil to consider a three-year freeze on wages and
undertake a serious review of management sala-ries.
If the Sidney retail community enjoyed this sort of remuneration, we’d be out of business in six months.
The past three years have been tough on busi-ness, and residents living on investment income.
The Town should be cognizant of the local business economy and act accordingly.

Telling blooming good newsTo start out on a happy note,
M. McGovern called to say she has crab apples that need pick-ing, and they are free.
They make a beautiful, tasty jelly. Her phone number is 250-652-5699.
It’s a miracle. I still don’t quite believe my eyes, that my hibis-cus in the west-facing window keeps on blooming.
Well, it had produced a long branch, spoiling its shape, so, using my secateurs, I cut it off just before a leaf node and put the cut piece in a pitcher of water on the kitchen counter.
One leaf turned yellow and died and I feared I was going to
lose the whole thing. But when I lifted it out two days ago, to my amazement, there were tiny roots sprouting and it seems I may have another hibiscus in the offing.
I’ll leave it a bit longer and then put the cutting in some fresh soil, leaving it where it appears to be happy and sim-ply work around it until it seems to have rooted for sure.
This is crazy. For one thing,
I had no rooting hor-mone to dip it in. It just sat on the counter with no attention and the light was very poor and yet there it is, making new roots. Yippee, hur-ray for nature! It never ceases to amaze me.
Also, Joan Marsh called to tell me that the Auxiliary to the Saanich Peninsula Hospital is holding its bazaar this year on Nov. 19 and it is always a dandy.

Not surprising given the makeup of the audience, all four men vying for mayoral seats on the Peninsula say they will sup-port business if elected.
Alastair Bryson and Christo-pher Graham, seeking the top job in Central Saanich, answered questions alongside Sidney may-oral candidates Larry Cross and Jack Barker during a luncheon meeting hosted by Saanich Pen-insula Chamber of Commerce.
Alice Finall, the mayor acclaimed in North Saanich, also participated in the discussion.
Transportation, highway access, housing and a business-friendly culture on the Peninsula all made the question session and got similar answers from the candidates.
“Sidney is struggling to look at worker housing,” Cross said. “Our challenge is land, and because we have so little land, costs are high.”
“I agree with Larry, we need to look at that,” Barker said. “We need affordable and attainable housing in our three communi-ties.”
They also agreed in principle on signage issues in the town.
“We need to revisit this, but
we need to be careful of our sig-nage,” Barker said. Huge signs could ruin the quaint atmo-sphere of the main streets, he added.
“The sign bylaw, like many of our other bylaws, is antiquated … It’s prohibitive, it’s unfriendly,” Cross said. He added that sig-nage was next on the docket after council has dealt with the ongoing look at the town’s zon-ing bylaw.
The Central Saanich candi-
dates, too, found places to agree, noting that the Keating X Road industrial area provides oppor-tunity for growth. The business-based audience asked whether it was realistic to envision achiev-ing safer access from the high-way to Keating anytime soon.
Bryson, a current Central Saan-ich councillor, said they’ve made inroads with provincial minis-tries that led them to believe a
good business case will get the ball rolling.
“It’s definitely an issue of dol-lars and priorities for the prov-ince,” Graham said, adding it could be a long, uphill battle.
While the series of round-abouts at the airport weren’t the simplest concept for an inter-change, candidates agreed, they do function.
The roundabout slated for Ocean Avenue and Lochside Drive split the Sidney candi-dates. They were asked that if the project appeared to be over budget, would they not only con-sider constructing a four-way stop instead, but reinstate the visitor centre removed to create Iroquois Park.
The roundabout, funded with gas tax funds, would need pub-lic review, Barker said. “I want to talk about what is best for our community.”
The problem, he and Cross agreed, is ferry traffic.
“(A roundabout) will keep that traffic flowing and it will be traf-fic calming for (vehicles) coming north into Sidney,” Cross said.
The plan now, he added, is to divert ferry traffic into Sidney to the visitor information centre on Bevan Avenue.

Last chance to vote inadvance poll
If you cannot make it to the polling sta-tions in Central Saan-ich, Sidney or North Saanich on voting day this weekend, one final chance to cast your bal-lot in advance happens today (Nov. 16).
In Central Saanich, where a new mayor and six councillors will be elected, advance polling is available at the municipal hall, 1903 Mount Newton X Rd. General voting happens there Saturday (Nov. 19) and at the Central Saanich Cultural Cen-tre, 1209 Clarke Rd. Poll times are 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
In Sidney, voting in advance for mayor and six councillors happens today at the municipal hall, 2440 Sidney Ave., and on general voting day Saturday at the Shoal Centre, 10030 Resthaven Dr. Both polls are open from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.
North Saanich hall at 1620 Mills Rd. is the site for both the advance poll today and general voting day to elect six councillors plus two School District 63 trust-ees. Mayor Alice Finnall was acclaimed. The polls are open both dates 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Inspired by the Metis and First Nations art show in Tulista Park, Doug Lafortune will gather his creative pals this weekend at Tsawout.
“A lot of people came by (the Tulista show) and they wanted to meet artists and support local artists,” said Lafortune’s wife Kathy Horne. “We really hope a lot of people will come out (this weekend.)”
With a long list of notable artists in the Rolodex through Lafortune’s work life, the couple knew it wouldn’t be difficult to pull together a show at the local recreation centre.
“We realized we know many people through Doug’s work,” Horne said.
“It’s more of a thing for artists to get together and maybe sell a few things too,” Lafortune said. “I have five brothers who are art-ists too. A few of them are going to be there.”
Myriad arts will be repre-sented, from dance and drum-ming to carvers of all media. Though it’s labelled a Coast Sal-ish native art show, Lafortune notes that artists are pulling
in from “all different communi-ties.”
So far 16 artists are confirmed, including locals, carver Charles Elliot and silversmith Reg Glad-stone.
Doug Lafortune and Friends is Nov. 19 from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the Tsawout recreation centre,
(intersection of Tetayut and Tsa-wout roads not far from Mount Newton X Road and Highway 17).
For details contact Horne at 250-665-6133 or email [email protected].

PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Wednesday, November 16, 2011 www.peninsulanewsreview.com • A17
The Community Arts Council of the Saan-ich Peninsula plays an important role in the local creative commu-nity.
First, the coun-cil hosts a variety of shows featuring work of local artists at the com-munity art centre at Tulista Park. Examples are the current Artisans Christmas Gift Gallery, and the successful First Nations and Metis show in September and October.
Secondly, the cen-tre is used as an arts resource where area groups can bring bro-chures and posters for distribution. A goal in the new year is to acquire a larger kiosk to accommodate even more handouts and newsletters.
Thirdly, each year the arts council bud-gets an amount to pro-vide financial support to member groups.
This year the council financially supported: the Sidney Concert Society, the Sidney Con-cert Band, Via Choralis, Palm Court (concert in Sidney), Sidney Shutter-bugs, Deep Cove Folk and Sidney Serenaders.
Another supportive effort of the arts coun-cil is directed to young people. Through its Arts in the Schools program in 2011, director Audrey Waugh presented Saan-ich School District with $5,000 to bring artists, writers and performers into the schools to offer instruction. The funds come from the Sidney Fine Art Show, a raffle of donated work and a private donation. The
raffle success is due to Craig Benson for his sculpted seal head, as well as (this year) to Heather Corbitt and John Rusnick for their art work.
Some of the class-room programs that resulted were Deep Cove school’s Poetry and Illustration, Pros-pect Lake school’s Music for the Season, Sidney elementary’s Watercolours, KELSET’s Let’s Dance, Brentwood elementary’s Knit-
ting Eagles Together Through Storytelling, and clay project at North Saanich middle school.
For more information about the arts council, visit the community art centre situated at the south end of Tulista Park. While there, enjoy the Artisans Christmas Gift Gallery featuring the work of area pot-ters, jewellers, weavers, knitters, quilters, wood turners, sculptors and painters.

The Linden Singers, one of Victoria’s most accomplished mixed choirs, will perform at St. Mary’s Anglican Church in Saanichton on Sunday (Nov. 20).
Musical director Garry Froese calls the concert a preview of Linden’s upcoming per-formance, Christmas American Style! That
concert is at the Metro-politan United Church in Victoria on Dec. 3 at 7:30 p.m.
The wide-rang-ing music selection includes the spontane-ity and infectiousness of the tunes of Irving Berlin to the grandeur of a contemporary American Magnificat.
The concert, part of the Sunday Serenade series at St. Mary’s, starts at 2:30 p.m. at the church in Saanichton (1973 Cultra Ave.).
Call 250-652-5392 for tickets.
Award-winning jazz pianist Nancy Walker brings her original compositions to Victoria on Nov. 19.
The National Jazz Awards Keyboardist of the Year in 2008, Walker and her trio of Ted Quinlan, Kieran Overs and Ethan Ardelli take the stage at Hermann’s at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $15 in advance and for Victoria Jazz Society members, or $18 at the door (753 View St.). For advance tickets, contact the Victoria Jazz Society at 250-388-4423, the Royal and McPherson box office at 250-386-6121 and www.rmts.bc.ca or stop by Lyle’s Place or Ditch Records.
