News COOTES MARINA BEFORE the Digger Productions film Crew arrived and made a transformation, VETS ISSUE Continued from Page Al - Residents in the area should exercise caution by keeping dogs on leashes when they are out with them, Wilson said. -““There’s a possibility someone has left a toxic material in the area, either by mistake or on purpose,” High said. Although High didn’t find a trace of chemicals in the animals, he found that most of them had a mixture of cheese and com in their stomachs. The sick jays showed signs and symptoms of nervous centre poi- soning, High said. B.C Fish and Wildlife officers investigated the area, but report- edly found no trace of chemical spraying or toxins. However, there is warranted con- cern for pet owners in the area, High said. “By letting people know, they can be more conscious of a prob- lem. Certainly if someone is put- ting chemicals out to poison rats or mice in the area, its got to be pretty concentrated to kill a large dog.” REFERENDUM Continued from Page Al Central Saanich already has a recreation program, Bolt said, including the $500,000 recently allocated for a new picnic shelter, showers and washrooms in Cen- tennial Park. Bolt also objected to a two-week delay on program registration at Panorama and a 30 per cent sur- charge for Central Saanich resi- dents, both initiated by the Penin- sula Recreation Commission last spring. These punitive measures are aimed only at Central Saanich residents, Bolt said. Cameron, who alse opposed the referendum, said he : .w no reason to spend $8,000 of taxpayers’ money on a vote which will fail. “T care about the money that comes out of my pocket,” he said. Council also received four let- ters on the issue — three of which opposed any referendum to join Panorama. In the fourth letter, resident Mona Nyberg pointed out Bren- twood and Bayside school parent advisory committees had not made a decision on the referendum issue, contrary to claims of support made to council by referendum advocates on Oct. 13. Council also voted to ask the Peninsula Recreation Commission to remove the restrictions on Cen- tral Saanich users of the centre, on the understanding that Central Saanich would hold a referendum on joining Panorama. At the Oct. 13 committee meet- ing, Peninsula Recreation Com- mission chairman Brian Sibley told council members he would ‘KIDS KARNIVAL 10364 McDonald Park Rd.

At the same meeting, council members received a 1,067- signature petition urging Central Saanich to join Panorama. Several residents also made pre- sentations citing the value of recre- ation to the community overall and the problems caused by the regis- tration restrictions and 30 per cent surcharge at Panorama. Residents also noted the 53.7 per cent of survey respondents who favored more spending on recreation and the recommenda- tions of two recreational studies which concluded joining Pano- rama was the least expensive way for Central Saanich to provide skating and swimming facilities. “7 think it is time this munici- pality pulled its own weight. We're not spongers,” Kelly Knudsen told council. An estimated 40 per cent of recreation centre users come from Central Saanich although only North Saanich and Sidney resi- dents support the centre through their taxes. Responding to rumors that the centre was in poor condition, Pan- orama staff provided an update on the condition of the facility and the current reserve fund main- tained for major repairs. If a referendum is approved by council, Jones said it should be held as soon as possible. Given the preparation required, the earliest possible date would be in January, 1993.
