Gray whale visits Sidney

Spectators lined the government
wharf at the foot of Beacon Ave-
nue in Sidney for two days last
week as a large sray whale repeat-
edly surfaced between bouts of
feeding.

“What it’s doing is not unu-
sual, ° marine mammal biologist
Pam Stacey said.

The gray whale feeds on the
bottom of the ocean and when it
finds a good spot it often stays in
the same area for some time, she
said.

The whale sucks up a mouthful
of mud and sand from the ocean
bottom and strains out tiny inverte-
brates, Stacey said.

Reports from people who spot-
ted the whale continued Thursday.

Stacey said there are about
21,000 gray whales in the world,
most on the west coast of the
Pacific Ocean. They winter in

Mexican waters and come up to.

Canada in the spring.

Stacey and other marine mam="—

mal biologists are studying the

activities of the gray whale and
ask people to call a Whale Hotline
if a whale is scene.

She is familiar with the gray
whale seen off Sidney because of
distinctive markings that could
have been caused by a killer whale
attack, she said.

The biologists are affiliated with
Simon Fraser University and ask
people to call 380-1925 if a whale
is seen in local waters.

Septic sludge
study backed

North Saanich council will pay
the $5,000 required by the Capital
Regional District for a study into
disposal of septic field sludge,
council members agreed May 22.

Council had requested a study
into adapting the Bazan Bay sew-
age treatment plant to handle
sludge from septic fields as part of
the upgrading of the plant.

“Tf we don’t at least investigate

the cost of treating our septic
sludge here, we may end up in four
years not only paying for upgrad-
ing of a treatment plant in Victoria,
but also for hauling our sludge
there,” said Mayor Linda Micha-
luk.

Sludge from local septic fields
is handled through Victoria’s treat-
ment plant, making North Saanich
potentially liable for some of the
upgrading costs for that plant,
Michaluk suggested.
