Wednesday, July 30, 1975 THE REVIEW Page 9 of its dedication this year. Special events throughout the year will mark the occasion. A highlight will be this weekend's flower festival and exhibition of arts and crafts and Canadiana. The talents of Maide Hewlett, Muriel Paulin and their helpers will be taxed to produce flower arrangements to grace the old church, at Mills Road and WestSaanich Road. Exhibits of arts and crafts and an exhibit of Canadiana will be open in the church hall throughout the festival, to be held. Saturday, August 2, from 10 a.m. to5 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Canadiana display, of things that were used in “the good old days”, is owned and arranged by Rubymay Parrott. Refreshments will be served, and all are invited to the celebration. The church was consecrated and dedicated on June 27, 1885. Land for the building was given by the Mills family and the construction was done by T.B. Shaw, builder of several other churches on Vancouver Island. Family names associated with building Holy Trinity church — Mills, Downey, Collins, Ker, Brethour, Brackman, Roberts, Horth, and McIlmoy] — are still represented by sons, daughters and grandchildren in the parish today. Marjorie and Dudley Foster are convening) the arts and crafts exhibits and Betty Taylor and Nell Busby are in charge of Home Crafts. _The WONDERFUL WORLD of HORSES PRESENTS THE SQ?

The proposed centre will take 14 acres of 40 acres across the road from the in- Stitute which is owned by the federal government and presently leased as farmland. The centre is intended to complement the marine in- stitute, the gathering was told. VANDALS AT SANSCHA _ Bleachers were tipped over, scoreboards lifted from their Morrings and dugout benches placed on the playing field ina vandalism incident at Sanscha Park July 24. Because of the weight of some of the objects moved, police believe that a number of juveniles were involved in the prank. BREAK IN No estimate of loss is yet available for a break-in at the residence of J.Z. Mason, 9632 - 7th Street, on July 26. The break-in took-place overnight, police said, and the home was completely ran- sacked. Entry was gained through a window, polie added, likely pried open with a tire iron., SHOT CAT Irene Cherness, 8251 Lochside Drive has reported to Sidney RDCMP that her cat has been shot on two occasions by a pellet or BB gun., The matter is under ivestigation. SAANICH EVENING OPTOMISTS All Star team emerged victorious last week in the 14 to 15-year-old Babe Ruth B.C. Provincial Baseball Tournament. First time the tour- nament has been held in Sidney, eight teams and more than 130 youngsters competed in the event. Tournament director (and local Rabe Ruth president) Pat:Kennedy told The Review Tuesday that he sought the com- petition for the local field after it became apparent that other areas were not willing to sponsor it. The competition may have beena financial success, he said, although final figures have not yet been compiled. The Winning team will travel to Centralia, Washington, in August to compete ina Pacific Northwest tournament. Teams came from as faraway as Salmon Arm to attend the Sidney competition.

He attempted to reassure the crowd that four wells drilled on the site to serve the institute and the technological centre was not likely to deplete ground water supplies and cause nearby residents’ wells to go dry. .One man pointed out that many of the citizens who might be affected were retired and on fixed incomes and had a substantial investment in their homes, “Tf we run out, no one can give us water quickly.” Stewart pointed out that the government and the homeowners were “in the same boat’’ if the wells ran dry. “We will be an enormously Strong ally in getting you water,’’ he said. If the four wells, with a predicted yield of 100,000 gallons per day, fail to produce enough water to Sustain the complex, residents “were assured the govern- ment would not exercise its right to use 10 per cent of the Elk Lake Water supply. Instead it will draw upon water from other sources. A pipeline across the Inlet was one possibility discussed. “We aren't able to give you water but we don’t have to take it from you, either,” Stewart promised. The 100,000 gallons which the four wells are expected to produce would be in excess of the projected needs of both the Institute and the planned technological centre, which would be about 50,000. “If it were really assured that we would have a surplus, we could share this excess with the municipality,” Stewart said. About 450 people would be employed in the various marine technology companies making up the planned centre when it is finally completed — probably about ten years from now, according to institute ‘industrial liason officer Bob ‘Smith. : This would bring to 800 the total employed at the com- plex. This would not mean 800 cars at the site, however. It is federal government ploicy to encourage car pools and bus transportation for its employees and to discourage oné person per car com- muting. Truck traffic would not be a problem, either, the meeting was told. There is not heavy industry or manufacturing planned for the site so truck traffic would be much lighter than that now involved in construction of the insitute. Stewart said the proposed marine centre was designed to encourage oceanographic competence in the private sector. With the firms working under close supervision the development of such expertise could work to the mutual benefit of industry and government. This reflects current government policy, called the “make or buy” policy, which dictates that if any work such as the manufacture of scientific equipment can be done for government projects by private companies, it should be contracted out to them. Stewart said the demand for marine research and - development by private firms was bound to increase, as governments and citizens become more environment- conscious. Dr. Stephanie Dimoff ob- jected to subsidizing the small manufacturer at taxpayers’ expense until he could be ina position to make money. “I subsidize this guy, you give him your knowledge, and he goes on to be a: big capitalist success. Why can’t he go out to Sidney the way I do and pay rent the way I do?”, she asked. The centre should be very close to self supporting, Smith said, with the companies paying very close to the going rent plus municipal taxes for Space in the centre. Former North Saanich mayor Trevor Davis warned that marine science centres, like space technology, are proving to be costly white elephants. As the days of this kind of institute were num- SIMPLE STEPS TO SAVE WATER IN THE HOME The following suggestions for saving bered, he appealed to the developers: “Don’t go into this thing any deeper and don’t desecrate any more of our land.’’ A number of people left the meeting before Davis proposed his motion opposing the development which was carried with a clear majority. Bob Gibbs said “a lot ot them left in disgust. The vote WATER FOCAL POINT OF HEATED DISCUSSIONS REGARDING THE PAT BAY INSTITUTE reflected the view of the anti’s that always turn out to meeting of this sort.” “It was the verbal parallel of the riot at Nanaimo,” he said. “The lack of courtesy and ignorance displayed was fantastic, They were just using water as an excuse. None of them had the first clue about the centre and none of them wanted to know.” District of North Saanich NOTICE OF _ EMPLOYMENT Applications are invited for the position of driver m labourer.

Turn the water off when water, amended for local application, were contained in pamphlets distributed by the City of St. Petersburg, Florida; and reprinted in the St. Petersburg Times. Water shortage is not peculiar to the Saanich Peninsula; it is a world wide problem and is particularly prevalent in many parts of ‘North America. En- couragement of water conservation is becoming a major occupation of water utilities, not only because of the economic aspects but, in many cases, it is dictated by Sheer necessity. Flush toilets are the greatest offenders when it comes to wasting water. But in addition to reducing the number of gallons wasted by this device, homeowners can cut down on their water consumption in other ways. 1. Put the stopper in the sink when washing hands to retain water for rinsing. You waste two gallons per wash if you let the faucet run freely. 2. Showers use between five and ten gallons of water per minute. You can conserve by not letting the shower run freely. Get wet, turn off shower, soap, then turn water back on to rinse. You can buy shower heads that reduce water flow from eight to three gallons per minute. Put the plug in the bath when you shower to see how much water you do use. 3. If you leave the tap running while you shave for five minutes, you can waste you shave or brush your teeth. 4, Keep ‘water in a container in the refrigerator, rather than wasting up to five gallons trying to get one glassful of cold water from the tap. 9. Don’t use the toilet to discard bits of trash, paper or cigarette butts. That wastes five gallons per flush. 6. Turn faucets off completely. Check for small leaks in water valves. A pinhole leak wastes 200 gallons of water each day. 7. Check toilet water supply valve and bowl for leaks too. Place food coloring in the tank at night. If the bowl shows color in the morning, you havea leak. Turn off the valve directly under the tank and leave it off overnight. If the tank is still full in the morning, there is no waste. If the tank is empty, call the plumber because repairs are needed. 8. Rinse dishes at one time, rather than under a constant stream of water as you go. 9. Run the dishwasher only when full because it takes 25 gallons each load. The same goes for the clothes washer. 10. Water your garden by hand with the hose with a coarse sprinkler head on the end. Water well once a week, a Section of the garden per day if necessary. Don’t water every day; you will bring the roots to the surface and ruin the plants. Don’t use oscillating sprinklers; they waste fifty to eighty percent of the water that goes through them. Sidney Waterworks District lf You Have Any Questions Please Call: 696-2221
