SAANICH PENINSULA AND GULF ISLANDS REVIEW

PAGE NINE

pun i

WITH GYWN OWEN

Maple Bay Yacht Club flies a
dark blue burgee with a gold
Maple Leaf. It is one of our older
established boating groups on
this Island and is best known for
hosting the entire Pacific Nor-
thwest, Canada and the States, at
it’s annual Labour Day regatta.

Spring cleaning is a. strange
topic for a sailor’s column but to
a boat owner this is translated as
winter lay up. A word of caution
to those who are fortunate enough
to have an old vessel complete
with log books and_ possibly

registration papers. Don’t toss.

them out in the clean up as of no

further use. They might be of-

considerable historical value. A
properly kept log, no matter how
small the vessel, is accepted as a
legal document. This writer is
presently engaged in’ tracing
back an old ship and missed the

_ chance of getting. papers dating

back to the beginning of the
century by a few months. If you
really want to get rid of old ships

- documents offer them = to the

Maritime Museum in Victoria.
The Curator told me that he is
particularly interested in pic-
tures. or -hardware of. sealing,
whaling and fishing in B.C.; Even
present day photographs of fish
boats are required as these will
_ become the museum displays of
future years. A special area has
- been reserved for. this type of
exhibit.

Taking exception to = an
editorial in The Review last week
which was critical of Sidney
Council’s rejection of an ap-
plication for establishment of a
$1,500,000 mobile homes ‘‘estate”’
in the southern part of the town,
Mayor Stanley Dear issued a
rebuttal at a council meeting
Monday.

The rebuttal, in turn, brought
objection from Ald. Herb. Perry
who said ‘I heartily disagree”
with the Mayor’s interpretation
of a Capital Region Board letter
referred to in the editorial.

Text of the Mayor’s statement
follows:

“The. editorial. ‘‘Lost. Op-
portunity” in the Review. of
Wednesday, October 21, indicates
a lack of knowledge of Council

misunderstanding of events

derstanding may have been
avoided had The. Review been

vitation to attend the committee
meeting of Monday, October 5,
when the application was
discussed at length.

“The editorial implies that

On the con-
trary, aS an examination of. the
rninutes of the Council meeting of
October 13 will reveal, Council
approved of this type of home for
Single-family lots. and fur-
thermore, approved of them for
parks, subject only to satisfac-
tory taxing legislation.

“It is true that the Town's
advisory planning committee did
favorably receive the application
by Leisure Villa Estates, but the
committee did not discuss, nor
was it aware of at the time, the
implications of the tax structure.

But it is not true, at-least not in -

the way that the editorial implies,
that “‘it had earned the approval
of the Regional: Planning
Authority’’.

‘The letter from the Regional

Board states, ‘It. is therefore
recommended that rezoning be

Regional Board reveals -such
phrases as, ‘‘It is recommended

mended that an ‘increase. in

1970), and ‘It is recommended
that no subdivision be. en-
tertained at this time’ (October

30, 1969).

“It is obvious, then, that the

the Courts ruled against Council
because it had made up its mind
before the hearing.

“Knowing that the application
by Leisure Villa Estates was a
contentious issue and one that
was little understood, Council
invited the press to a committee
mecting for the express purpose
of avoiding. the. misun-
derstandings that have occurred.
The invitation was, 1 believe, a
first in Sidney politics and one
that I hope will be repeated by
Council whenver there is an issue
of wide public interest _ to be
discussed.”’
