Chevron station of an unidentified
amount of cash and assorted pack-
ages of cigarettes during a reenact-

Stoppers, Central Saanich deputy
police Chief George Lawson said.
The segment, planned for film-

getting information from citizens
about the crime, will show two
men wearing black clothing and
full-face ski masks, who ‘‘came
into the store brandishing tire irons
and a crowbar, relieving the attend-

The pair left shortly after 9:40
p-m. Jan. 31 and fled northwest
behind the gas station near West
Saanich Road and Wallace Drive
toward Brentwood Elementary
School.

A police dog from a neighboring
department was called in for a
search but no suspects were found.
Persons with information are
asked to call CrimeStoppers at
386-8477.

Radios returned

Police in Central Saanich are in
the process of calling the owners
of recovered pieces of stolen prop-
erty, deputy police Chief George
Lawson said.

- On Feb. 15, police apprehended

two 17-year-old Brentwood Bay
males in connection with a rash of
vehicle break-ins experienced in
Central Saanich and Sidney in
recent months.

Charges are being recommend-
ed to Crown counsel in the case.
Police stressed that they will con-
tact all the original owners of the
limited amount of recovered prop-
erty-relative to police files in both
Peninsula municipalities.

Nematode crossing needed

An urgent plea for a Golden
Nematode crossing over Wallace
Drive was received by Central
Saanich council Monday. _

“As a self-made environmental-

“SFist and amateur naturalist,” wrote

Saanichton resident Jo Ann Hope,
“7 realize the nematode situation
will soon reach a crisis here in our
community.”

Although there is an area within
the municipality set aside as a
sanctuary for nematodes, she
noted no provision had been made
to protect the creatures during
their inevitable migration across
Wallace. Drive.

She urged council to provide a
nematode crossing on Wallace
Drive, complete with signs and
speed bumps, to save the nematode

SUNDAY RIDE ALONG Wallace Drive inspired smiles from
horseriders, although there was a mention of a fee for

“T am grateful that I live in a
municipality which recognizes the
rights of the little-known and oft
ill-appreciated Golden Nematode
but feel a sense of disappointment
that we have stopped short in
providing fully for their welfare,”
Hope wrote, tongue inserted
firmly-in-cheek.

Discovery of the worm-like
nematodes, which attack potato
roots, has led to an Agriculture
Canada imposed 10-year-old ban
on commercial potato growing in
Central Saanich.

Council members chuckled at
Hope’s letter but defeated Ald.
Bruce Tobin’s motion referring the
request to the traffic and safety
committee.

spring clean-up nixed

The municipally-sponsored
annual spring clean-up in Central
Saanich was canceled by council
Monday.

Ald. Arlene Box said the cost of
the program had increased to
$57,000, largely because of
increased tipping fees at the
regional district’s Hartland land-

fill.

Under the program, the munici-
pality had arranged an annual
pick-up and dumping of items
discarded by residents.

Monday, council agreed to pro-
vide the public with an informa-
tion package on solid waste dis-
posal.
