Deer management project pushed forward Next update expected by the end of summer Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Speed readers installed in deer hot-spots are the latest step in the deer management plan for Oak Bay. Now council awaits a staff report, expected by fall. “That’s our next step,” said mayor Nils Jensen. “We’re expecting, by the end of the

summer, to get an update from our staff as to where we are on the deer management strategy. It’s an ongoing project and staff are carrying out the terms of reference.” Part of their work right now is awaiting an update from the province on traps available for use in the planned deer cull. “Traps have to be used if we’re going to be permitted by the province to cull their deer,” Jensen said. “We had fully expected them to provide those traps but they don’t have them.” In February, 10 clover traps were

Carnarvon Cannons take top spot on Island Laura Lavin News staff

Fun, focus and hustle helped the Carnarvon Cannons All Star team win the U9 Vancouver Island Regional Championships held last weekend (July 4 to 6) at Evans Park in Duncan. The team, comprised of seven- to nine-year-olds from the Carnarvon Ball Club, won three and tied one of their round-robin games to finish first in their pool, and then beat the Campbell River Blue Tyees in the semi-final to make it into the finals. “It was a great group of kids,” said head coach Lorne Neil. “This is the second year Trevor’s (Lines, team manager) and my son were on the same team together.” The tournament included a skills competition, and the Cannons blasted to the top of three out of four. “It was overall a dominating performance by the club,” said Neil. Youngest team member Max Rudnyckyj won the home run derby. They played Peninsula in the final game and won 10-2 to become the 2014 Vancouver Island Tadpole Regional Champions. “It was a very balanced team, especially with batting. All 12 kids

Hard work from the players was augmented by the coaching staff and parents. “We started with a concept of teamwork and community,” said Lines. “It’s one thing to have skilled players in baseball but each of the coaches filled in with their own strengths.” And from raking the bases to bringing in snacks, the parents were also an integral part of the team, said Lines. “They continued to make things work, it was the most magical thing, they truly came together as a community. “From the beginning we chose kids who we knew would get along, have a good attitude and perspective and have a strong family to chip in to make it work.” editor@oakbaynews.com

particularly dangerous and poisonous plant showing up more frequently – poisonous hemlock, or Conium maculatum. This invasive species can cause respiratory arrest and kill if ingested. The plant is just coming into full bloom, said Ken Marr, Royal B.C. Museum curator of botany. “It’s important to get (this plant) in people’s awareness,” Marr said. It’s cropping up more and more often in Oak Bay, says parks manager Chris Hyde-Lay. “It’s a concern along the Bowker Creek watershed and we’ve found quite a bit on a piece of land close to the University (of Victoria),” he said. “There’s proper ways you should handle it and dispose of it.” Poisonous hemlock is infamous for being the plant which Socrates was forced to ingest in Ancient Greece in order to take his own life, having been found guilty of poisoning young minds by spreading his philosophy, said Rachelle McElroy, executive director of the Coastal Invasive Species Committee, of which Oak Bay is a member. “Poisonous hemlock is one we’re seeing more of, just because of the transfer of soil between different municipalities or regions,” McElroy said. “It out-competes our native vegetation and it has prolific seed production, which continues over winter. It’s in the same family as giant hogweed, with that same toxin.” It’s important to pull the entire root when removing poisonous hemlock, and to always “It’s a wear protective gloves concern along and clothing when with the plant. the Bowker Creek dealing Poisonous hemlock watershed.” looks somewhat similar - Chris Hyde-Lay to parsley, though it can grow nearly two metres in height. Marr cited a 2002 case when two people cooked and ate some of the plant, possibly mistaking it for another member of the parsley family. The couple reported numbness in their mouths, followed by respiratory arrest and ended up spending five days in hospital. Marr said the fact they cooked the plant before eating it likely saved their lives. If ingested, the plant can cause paralysis, which can lead to an inability to breathe and, ultimately, death. Poisonous hemlock is identifiable by the purple splotches found on its stem, a distinguishing characteristic in the parsley family. It is also related to giant hogweed, another poisonous concern in Oak Bay. “Do not compost this plant,” McElroy said. “The best thing is to place all parts in a garbage bag, use gloves, wash all clothing and tools afterwards, label it invasive species and take it to the Hartland landfill,” she said. Other prominent invasives Oak Bay strives to eradicate include Japanese knotweed and buttercup lesser celandine. “It’s a menace,” Hyde-Lay said of the buttercup. “People like it because it flowers nicely, but it comes on strong in the spring and it spreads like mad.” These perennial invasives come on strong and “pop back up with an abundance of vim and vigour the following year,” Hyde-Lay added. Marr said he is available to identify plants for the public if they bring in samples or send a photograph. Contact him at kmarr@ royalbcmuseum.bc.ca. “We have training and specialized knowledge from being in the field and seeing the plants,” Marr said. “We have a lot of expertise here that’s available to the public.” Landowners who find poisonous hemlock are advised to contact the Coastal Invasive Species Committee to report and identity the plant, either by phone at 250-857-2472 or by email at info@coastalisc.com. – with files from Daniel Palmer cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

The O’Brien family regularly returns to its Oak Bay roots, the family’s “first port of call” when they emigrated to Canada from England a decade ago. “Oak Bay was our very first place to live in Canada,” said Paul O’Brien, dad in the band that features daughter Millie, 20, on lead vocals, as well as sons Cormac, 18, string bass, piano and lead vocals, and Fintan, 17, on guitar, mandolin and lead vocals. Paul adds vocals, guitar and

The family just finished recording its first studio album, Blue Cottage Music featuring songs written by Paul and Fintan with imaginative arrangements of cover songs such as the Millie’s version of Angel by Sarah McLaughlin. “We recorded it with my favourite producer. Joby Baker is the guy in B.C.,” Paul said. “It’s just a combination of our favourite songs that we’ve played. We wanted it to be vocally based, so it’s not tons of overdubs, it’s pretty much what you hear live.”

mandolin. The family band performs regularly at the Oak Bay Tea Party and their four-part harmonies will make toes tap at Willow’s Beach on Wednesday. “This project began six or seven years ago, just as a little bit of fun busking on the street,” Paul said, adding it’s something he did as a teen himself. “If you were half decent you could make some money.” So when the boys were 10 and 11 they gave Government Street a shot just for fun. “The kids made $80 each. It just blew their little heads off,” Paul said. “The big change came in 2012, we recorded a record. It was a live concert with the Gettin’ Higher Choir.” With bigger gigs calling, stringent liquor laws made most of the band members’ age a consideration, instead they started playing markets: Oak Bay, Sidney, Bastion Square, Moss Street and James Bay. “We found these are the absolute best vehicle for us to perform,” Paul said. “It’s a selection of lovely, small gigs. The only thing that’s changed is we play markets now where we can bring a PA system. We’re really a vocal harmony band.” “Suddenly this little project became a big project,” he added.

Time to redefine suburban living Oak Bay Councillor Tara Ney has called for more community gardens for Oak Bay, saying that there needs to be places for food production. Community gardens beat paved space any day, but wouldn’t dedicating more public space to them only take away from the little park space and wildlife habitat still remaining in Oak Bay? The place for growing food is the backyard, but this is exactly what the current council’s rush to residential densification is going to destroy. Even if space were to be found for community gardens, most people would not trek off to an allotment at a distance. Gardening is an individualistic occupation and the backyard a canvas for personal creativity -- or so it was in the original conception of suburban living. That vision valued privacy, but the innate human need for private space and time is sometimes devalued in current eco-communitarian thinking. At the recent official community plan open house, most notes posted on the information tables provided asked for more green space and less building. Most comments ran counter to the developer-driven agenda for commercial/residential densification that the current council seems determined to push through. Towns historically grew outward from centres of trade. People came to a weekly or daily market to buy and sell. The spread of living spaces around these urban cores we call “sub-urbia” but maybe we should think of them as “super-ruralia.” If we labelled residential family-raising neighbourhoods differently, we might value them differently. What people miss most as spreading cities engulf them with noise, pollution and brutal architecture, is a natural, spacious, less commercialized environment. Houses originally dotted landscapes among fields and woods, which children in past generations could access for healthy outdoor play. This is superruralia, not sub-urbia. The latter implies some sort of demotion from the hectic excitements of deep urbanism … but the environment most healthy for the human animal is a modification of the wild, rather than a fringe of commercialism. Too many people on planet Earth suffer a life in crowded housing from which they travel to a crowded workplace in a crowded crush of public transport. Never alone, never quiet … no wonder crime rates and mental disorders increase as cities grow. Barbara Julian Oak Bay

change, including much of the bitumen in Canada’s tar sands. In a commentary in Nature, a multidisciplinary group of economists, scientists and other experts called for a moratorium on all oil sands expansion and transportation projects such as pipelines because of what they described in a news release as the “failure to adequately address carbon emissions or the cumulative effect of multiple projects.” They want “Canada and the United States to develop a joint North American road map for energy development that recognizes the true social and environmental costs of infrastructure projects as well as account for national and international commitments to reduce carbon emissions.” Those who fear or reject change are running out of excuses as humanity runs out of time. Pitting the natural environment against the human-invented economy and placing higher value on the latter is foolish. These reports show it’s time to consign that false dichotomy to the same dustbin as other debunked and discredited rubbish spread by those who profit from sowing doubt and confusion about global warming. “Climate inaction inflicts costs that escalate every day,” World Bank Group vice-president Rachel Kyte said, adding its study “makes the case for actions that save lives, create jobs, grow economies and, at the same time, slow the rate of climate change. We place ourselves and our children at peril if we ignore these opportunities.” If our leaders can’t comprehend that, let’s find some who can. - with Ian Hanington

A Sunday night email announced a secondplace national finish for Nitesco. The six-member choral group of Grade 9 and 10 students at Oak Bay High earned a listen at the provincial level with a nod from the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival that only recommended two choirs to the next level. “The girls are so excited,” said Tina Horwood, choral leader and mom to one of the singers. The singers are all across the country enjoying summer break but she got ahold of each with the good news. “One of them said, ‘We’re just beginning to shine, wait until we really shine,’” Horwood said. It’s a reference to the name Caitlin Troughton, Amara Digout, Hadley Parsons, Kyla Gilmour, Patricia Horwood and Briar Rose Redchurch selected, Nitesco, which means ‘to begin to shine’. They performed The River Sleeps Beneath The Sky, an Italian madrigal called O Ochi Manza Mia and a work in Finnish titled The Earth Adorned during the local festival that was recorded and sent to provincials where they were named top group and sent on to the national competition. First place at the national level went to a traditionally strong group from Alberta, Horwood said. They’ll get the details on prize, and adjudication comments later this summer. “At this event they award one first place and one second place and that’s it,” Horwood said. “Second place is pretty cool.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Safety around lakes and other bodies of water takes a little preplanning, as well as treating water with respect. You can have so much fun in water and you don’t want to discourage (the public) from using that, but they need to understand when they need to be safe and understand the dangers there.” He encourages people to go out on the water and enjoy themselves. At the same time, he advises to be especially careful of fun and sun

princesses here to clean the royal palace. I actually had some success at cleaning the house before I was diverted into preparing royal snacks, de-fleaing the royal hound and mopping up a royal food mess. Toys and games aside, I loved watching the pure and sweet imagination that went into child play. Most often, the girls would flitter in and about me as I washed dishes and prepared endless snacks, and caught only sparks of conversation. But once in awhile, I’d hear them chattering in the back seat of the car, like the time I picked up one of Sierra’s friends for a playtime. They immediately launched into their latest game. “Let’s pretend we’re princesses with horses.” / “A black horse and a white horse.” / “All the horses in the world.” / “And a unicorn.” / “All the unicorns in the world!” / “And we didn’t have any parents.” / “Just sisters.” / “All the sisters in the world!” Later, as I watched the two create a wonderland of very deliberately placed books and blankets and dolls, I suggested that perhaps I should play with the Barbies while they put away the groceries. The young visitor fixed me with a stern look. “We are the children. You are the adult,” she said. “We get to play and you have to clean the house.”

Past projects have ranged from a boy designing a book sharing program for his school to a girl creating a fundraiser project for wolf conservation. One Grade 5 student at Crystal View elementary in Langford planned and started an Eco Club at her school. “Right away they had over 30 kids coming to every meeting,” Green says. “They did art projects on their favourite animals, made bird feeders, used outdoors as a learning place. The nice part is the school has committed to keep it going.” At a summer’s end gala, campers particularly excited about their projects can pitch them to a panel of judges, with the potential to win a FUN Champs Social Change Award.

Island student tops trades vid competition ‘‘

A goal of this video competition is to encourage more BC students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding career..

’’

Bob McHugh

Bernice Chung, of Vancouver, came third and gets an iPad Mini and $500 for her school. Trades can offer a rewarding and fulfilling career path with a higher than average wage level and a solid future. The trades sector in B.C. is expected to face an overall labour shortage by 2016 that will deepen in the following years, according to WorkBC Trades Occupations Outlook (2010-2020) report (workbc.ca). A goal of this video competition is to encourage more B.C. students to simply consider a trade as a rewarding

career alternative and entice more teachers and high schools to include trades as a career option in the classroom. In the auto service industry, the highly regarded Ford ASSET technician training program is a good example. Locally, apprentices spend four months at BCIT and four months in a B.C. Ford dealership (mainly in the service sector) on a rotational basis. They can also choose to specialize in a specific area, such as auto electronics, and get additional upgrade certification courses through Ford training. Most apprentice programs are four years and on-the-job training is ongoing, especially in the auto industry. Changes in new technology are rapidly transforming trades, as well as other occupations. Looking even further ahead, our growing and evolving job market will require skilled, capable people who can adapt to new challenges and new technologies. Discover Skills BC is an initiative, funded by the B.C. government, to help provide easy access for secondary students to opportunities in trades and technology training. The competition is also run in cooperation with Trades Training BC, Skills Canada and the Industry Training Authority.

A hands-on ability, whatever the skill, is a talent that tends to go unrecognized and too often, it is under-appreciated, even by those who possess the talent. That’s why I was delighted to be asked again to participate as a judge (one of five) in the annual “Show Us Your Skills” competition organized by Discover Skills BC for high school students. Students create a short video about a trade or skill that they are interested in pursuing. Prizes for the top three videos are presented to both the student and the high school that they attend. The high level of expertise that some of these kids already possess was remarkable and the video entries this year were outstanding. First prize this year went to Connor Shaw, a student at Traditional Learning Academy in Nanaimo. He was taught to weld by his uncle and at age twelve he fabricated a flat deck for a truck he was given. More recently he added a hydraulic lift system that gives the flat deck a dump feature. Shaw loves welding and plans to pursue a career in a related trade. Shaw will get an Apple MacBook Air and his high school will receive $2,000. The second prize winner was Albert Leung, of Richmond, who an iPad Air 16GB and $1,000 for his school.

BUYING TIP | Consider the waterfront property and its amenities more than the structure

Options abound for waterfront buyers Ocean homes take a slight dip in market place Drew McLachlan News staff

When thinking about waterfront real estate in Oak Bay, one’s first thoughts often turn to luxurious mansions, but in Oak Bay, there are plenty of options that take in a water view. In fact, walk-on waterfront apartments can be had for under $300,000, while one of those luxury properties will set you back as much as $7 million. According to the Victoria Real Estate Board, the average cost of waterfront homes have gone down this year from $1.22 million to $1.11 million, a nine per cent drop. However, communications manager Denise Hogue warns that when it comes to waterfront property, the numbers can be misleading – a single luxury home selling for $17 million can skew the numbers. Sales have also been on the rise this year, with 99 being sold in 2014 as of July 1, compared to last year’s 84, representing a rise of 18 per cent. “Waterfront homes do mirror general trends in the market,” David Beswick of MacDonald Realty said. “But it can go from hot to cold rather quickly because the buying pool is small due to
