News Crash brought man to court The crash wasn’t his fault, claimed North Saanich resident Michael Jimmy, but it still brought him to Sidney provincial court Thursday. Jimmy, 26, pleaded guilty to driving with a blood-alcohol reading over .08 per cent. Crown counsel Brian Rendell said police were called to a minor two-vehicle accident at the intersection of McTavish and Canora Roads about 5:30 p.m. June 29. Jimmy, the driver of a truck involved in the accident, gave two breathalyzer readings of .19 per cent. Defence lawyer Richard Schwartz said Jimmy had been drinking at a local hotel and was driving friends home when the accident occurred. Jimmy said he was on McTavish, crossing the Pat Bay Highway on a green light, when the car swung in front of him from Canora. Although Jimmy tried to avoid the accident, he was unable to stop in time, Schwartz said. There was minimal damage to the car and no damage to Jimmy’s truck, Schwartz added. Judge Ralph Hudson fined Jimmy $500 and suspended his driver’s licence for 12 months. “Tt (the fine) should be more were it not for your financial circumstances,” the judge told Jimmy. Minor crunch caused charge An accident in a Victoria 7-Eleven parking lot brought a Victoria area man to Sidney provincial court Thursday, charged with driving with a blood-alcohol reading over .08 per cent. Alexander Meundel, 19, pleaded guilty to the April 6 offence. Crown counsel Brian Rendell said Meundel pulled into the parking lot of the convenience store at Yates and Quadra Street, stopping so close to another vehicle that he collided with that car when he turned the wheel of his vehicle. The collision caused his North Saanich garden.

In a letter to town council in June, resident John Wood asked council to forbid any boat without a holding tank to moor at the marina.

The report says the marina pro- vides adequate washroom facilit- ies for marina patrons. WASPS Continued from Page Al Saanich Peninsula Hospital is west on Mt.
