The Tsartlip Indian band of
Brentwood Bay is in the process of
laying a site-specific land claim to
property owned by Fama Holdings
Ltd. at Tod Inlet, a Central Saanich
committee heard Monday.

Tsartlip band councillor John
Elliott stood after a presentation to
council’s planning and zoning
committee by Fama’s project man-
ager Kelly Gesner. Elliott said his
people have “an outstanding claim
on the property you call Tod Inlet.

“It’s been ours for many years.
(Although) it was stolen away
from us generations ago we still
believe it belongs to us,” Elliott
said.

“Tam here to inform you that we
are filing a specific claim for that

a,” Elliott said.

Historically the Indian people
have used the Tod Inlet area as a
safe place to gather food in any
kind of weather, he said.

Gesner asked if the claim would

Driver hii pole

A 32-year-old Sidney man who
drove off Resthaven Drive, hit a
hydro pole and ended up on a lawn
July 13 pleaded guilty in Sidney
provincial court Thursday to
impaired driving.

Crown counsel Stephen Fudge
said Richy Green was charged
after police attended the accident
shortly at 8 p.m. Fudge noted
police found beer cans at the scene
of the accident and smelled alco-
hol on Green’s breath.

Green complained of an injured

back and was taken to Saanich -

Peninsula Hospital where a blood
sample was requested, Fudge said.

Green had been convicted of a
similar offence in 1986, Fudge
added.

Defence lawyer Mayland
McKimm said Green is now
unemployed because of a back
problem. However, he volunteers
his time to help local seniors with
yard maintenance.

Judge Wayne Smith fined Green
$400 and suspended his licence
for a year.

Real esfafe up

Real estate sales remain above
last year’s level, reports the Victor-
ia Real Estate Board.

There were 695 Multiple Listing
Service sales in the Greater Vic-
toria region in November worth
$119 million, compared with 499
last November and 737 in October.

Last month there were 20 sales
in North Saanich valued at $5
million, for a median price of
$227,700.

In Central Saanich there were 17
sales worth $3.4 million, for a
median price of $197,500.

For Sidney, there were 10 trans-
actions valued at $1.5 million, for

_ a $156,000 median.

DEBATE

working councils the municipality
has had for many years.

“Debate and disagreement have
been carried out with a decorum
often lacking in previous coun-
cils,”” he said.

He also paid tribute to the all of
the municipality’s staff and
described the senior staff as hav-
ing a high degree of professional-
ism and qualification.

“With a high level of coopera-

tion and understanding between

three Peninsula municipalities

Company holdings, to which Elli-
ott replied “most likely.”

Ald. Clarence Bolt said the
Native bands already have a terri-
torial claim that effects all lands
on the Saanich Peninsula.

Fama wants to develop a 200-
room hotel, a marina, an 18-hole
golf course and a large residential

&

development on 238 acres it owns
with Central Saanich boundaries.
The company owns 1,200 acres of
property on both sides of Tod
Inlet, including lands in the Par-
tridge Hills area of the Langford
electoral district.

Gesner said Fama would abide
by court decisions at the provincial
or federal level.

Tsarilip lays specific claim to Tod Inlet Mystery objectis butcher's steel

The Sidney Museum recently
thanked all the people who pho-
ned about the mystery object that
appeared in The Review Nov. 20.

The final consensus is, the mys-
tery object is a Butcher’s steel.
After many helpful phone calls we
found out why the shaft is smooth,
assistant curator Susan Kilpatrick
said. The smooth surface repol-
ishes the knife’s edge after shar-

“We also discovered that steel
was high grade before the Second
World War and Canada Packers
was one company which used
smooth steels,” she said.

In addition, we were told the
guard was a loose four-corner
Stone to prevent the steel from
rolling around on the uneven
butcher’s block, Kirkpatrick said.
