Oak Bay funds UWSS pilot to build on cull Deer contraception planned for fall project, subject to permits Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
Oak Bay will throw some financial support behind the Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society with a grant of $5,000. UWSS came to council Monday night seeking a $10,000 grant for its Deer Plan Oak Bay – a capture-vaccinate-tag-release pilot
project planned for the fall. They also hope to create a scientific deer population inventory and a better understanding of urban deer ecology and population dynamics. “We’re asking you to bring it down to science,” said Kristy Kilpatrick, UWSS vicepresident. “If we bring it down to science, that will mitigate [emotion].” The society formed in the wake of a regional deer management strategy that included a controversial cull of 11 animals in Oak Bay. Members outlined for council the plans to utilize advice and training from its own Scientific Advisory Group, the
provincial veterinarian and field experience of consultant, TerraMar Environmental Research. They’ve secured 25 doses of the immunocontraceptive SpayVac and submitted an application to the province for a permit to treat up to 25 deer. The provincial offering, similarly offered to Oak Bay during its cull, is equipment and technical advice for the society’s project planned for this fall. UWSS plans to use modified Clover traps as Oak Bay did during the culling process. They expect to apply this week for the federal permit to administer SpayVac –
which must be done as a study, as it’s an experimental drug. During Monday’s meeting, Coun. Tara Ney noted that the information council was given in the past, was contraception would also require a cull in order to be effective. It makes sense, both UWSS president Bryan Gates and Kilpatrick told council, to build on the cull already done last fall as part of the regional deer management strategy.

Oak Bay firefighter battles blaze while on vacation Roadtrip through Oregon proves eventful for local family Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
The return home was as eventful as the trip to Disneyland for one Oak Bay firefighter and his family. Lindsay Swan was at the wheel Saturday afternoon as the family headed for Canada along the I-5 freeway, on day two of a three-day drive home, firefighter husband Greg Swan sitting shotgun and their two young boys in the back. “We were driving north on the I-5 just on the outskirts of Medford, Ore. and came across a car that had gone off the road and into a tree,” Greg said. “The dust was settling and a couple people were running down the shoulder. My wife stopped the car.” He grabbed the fire extinguisher and first aid kit packed in the back of the car while Lindsay called 9-1-1. “I could see flames in the engine compartment,” Greg said. “Three or four people were trying to get the driver out. The flames were keeping them away so I knocked it down with my extinguisher.” The 83-year-old driver, who Medford Fire later reported had broken bones in his left thigh and lower leg, was still stuck, and it took a second round with the extinguisher before the passersby could free the driver. “After that the car was fully engulfed in flames and tires were exploding … It was a save. It could have been a lot worse,” Lindsay said. “It was a good thing Greg was there and had the expertise. He’s so calm in a situation like that.” They took the driver a safe distance from the fire and were performing first aid when Medford Fire and Rescue, Oregon State Police and EMS arrived. “It was a pretty harrowing experience for all of us,” Greg said. “The boys were very talkative for the next couple hours.” Both parents were slightly concerned for the state of Charlie, 3, and Thomas, 6, but a healthy respect for their dad’s career and deep knowledge of fire safety made it easer for them to comprehend.
Christine van Reeuwyk/Oak Bay News
Oak Bay firefighter Greg Swan is pleased his skills honed with the local fire department came in handy on the return from a family vacation. “They’re so into Greg being a firefighter that they’re all over fire safety,” Lindsay said. “I was worried it would be traumatic for them.” She recalls six-year-old Thomas saying: “There’s water dripping out of my eyes because I’m a little worried about that man.” They later learned two dogs perished in the crash, and the man was reported in critical condition.
“I’m just glad I was prepared and was able to help out. If I hadn’t had that extinguisher I don’t think we would have gotten him out, the fire was starting to come through the floorboards at his feet,” Greg said. “Having the training and being there at the right time and able to effect a positive outcome is a good feeling for a firefighter.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com
Townhall turnout confirms home mail delivery concerns Oak Bay worries over end to home mail delivery Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
Concerns continue to grow in Oak Bay as the new Canada Post community mailboxes roll out in Vic West. “They could roll into Oak Bay tomorrow… there’s no hard timeline. They think they have the right to do what they want when they want to do it,” said Victoria MP Murray Rankin. He’s been following the issue since its announcement last year, and hosted a town hall meeting in Oak Bay earlier this month to hear resident concerns over the end to home
mail delivery and its potential impacts. About 80 people came out on a summer Monday evening, including the mayor and Victoria Coun. Marianne Alto, to share about her experience with the Vic West process. “The punchline for me was that Mayor [Nils] Jensen announced that Canada Post has had no contact whatsoever with council or staff. That is utterly shocking. that with all the impact these community mailboxes are going to have in a built-up area like south Oak Bay … That they haven’t even whatsoever contacted the staff, planning department or any members of council.” Rankin plans to write the CEO of Canada Post summarizing the meeting and posing a few questions. “After one year, there is still no answer to
who’s going to pay for all of this,” Rankin said, noting upgrades to sidewalks, lighting and other infrastructure would be required, particularly in well-established neighbourhoods. “It would be a major expense and no one’s assured the City of Victoria who will pay.” These were concerns shared by the public, he said. Other concerns ranged from colour and design of the boxes, to the worry over identity theft and mail theft. He’s sent questions and information to Canada Post in the past, but feels those questions haven’t been answered, and the project only moves forward. Rankin expects to send his latest letter voicing concern and seeking answers out this week. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

B.C. needs to step up in deer debate Regardless of which side of the deer debate you stand on, many people would agree that the question of deer roaming Greater Victoria streets and properties needs to be addressed in some fashion. For many, it’s how that should be done that generates the most heated discussion. While not an Oak Bay-specific problem – just ask the farmers trying to protect crops in neighbouring Saanich – it has certainly taken up considerable staff and council time here. Credit has to be given for those trying to find solutions, but councillors one after the other voiced their frustration at Monday evening’s council meeting that they were once again having to weigh in on what is essentially a provincial issue. The Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society approached council for assistance with its proposed contraception program for does. Council approved a reduced amount, with the caveat that the required provincial permits be approved, but not until after 2.5 hours of discussion. An Oak Bay proposal for a more co-ordinating role in deer management met with major support at the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities annual general meeting last spring and that resolution is now headed to September’s Union of B.C. Municipalities meeting for consideration. The proposal requests the province provide increased support and expertise for deer management issues and help build partnerships with other levels of government. As a B.C.-wide organization, support from the UBCM might lend weight to the importance of the issue for regions around British Columbia and push the province to take greater leadership over an issue under its purview. Here’s hoping.
Flag follow-up Several weeks ago, the Oak Bay News reported on the disappearance of several Canadian flags installed for special summer holidays. Supplied by Oak Bay Rotary, the fundraising initiative supports projects here at home and farther afield. After commenting on the “bad apples” that stained local Canada Day celebrations, we were heartened to learn that one of the flags had been returned.

Hordes of riders give cyclists a bad name Another summer weekend and again we are exposed to these hordes of cyclists who feel they own the road. This morning there was a group of at least 20 riding four abreast on Beach Drive towards the Uplands Gate. They took the whole lane and it was difficult to get by but when we did we were subject to abusive comments. Later we observed a gentleman, possibly in his late 70s crossing Beach Drive on the crosswalk at Estevan. Vehicles were stopped and out of nowhere came another group with no intention of stopping, meanwhile yelling at the man to watch out. I can appreciate the Oak Bay police are very busy on weekend mornings but it would be nice to have them
monitor the roads for this type of activity. Not safe for cars and not safe for pedestrians. Two examples why cyclists get a bad name and I can understand. Lawrence Fish Victoria
English pride of place still missed on sign Re: School sign explained, Oak Bay News, July 15 Thank you to Sofie Finn Storan for the concise and well-composed reply to the question regarding the sign at the new high school in Oak Bay. However, how many peo-
ple would understand the so-called tactic that has been used unless it was explained to them? I still feel that the sign looks visually awkward, and that somehow the words ‘Oak Bay High School’ should have pride of place. Dale McKenzie Oak Bay

Council frustrated with lack of provincial aid on deer issue Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
A main sticking point, for all, but most vehemently argued by Coun. Michelle Kirby, at Monday night’s council meeting is that deer are a provincial problem that continues
to consume staff and council time. “I see this entirely as a provincial responsibility,� Kirby said, voicing a desire to move forward from deer. “We have much more pressing local issues. This is provincial responsibility.� The Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society that grew in response to

“You’ve done the cull, we can do the SpayVac,â€? Gates said. “No one knows what percentage of the females have to be treated to start reduction.â€? To fund the roughly $60,000-budget Deer Plan Oak Bay, UWSS sought $10,000 from Oak Bay, and plans to seek $25,000 from the Capital Regional District and fundraise $15,000. Oak Bay however, only has $9,000 remaining in its coffers for grants-in-aid and wound up offering $5,000 in two installments. “I hear our community wants something done,â€? said Ney, who crafted a series of motions that finally came to fruition Email editor@ late in the evening. oakbaynews.com After hours of backand-forth discussion, Ney threw a motion on the table for the $10,000, with stipulations that the society appease staff concerns, get the permits and get regional support. “What I would feel most comfortable with ‌ would be to say reduce the amount to $5,000 but give it to them based on them receiving the funding from the CRD,â€? said Coun. Hazel Braithwaite. “I would still like to see some of the education part go on and the count go on.â€? After further conversation and fine-tuning, Ney’s motion failed. She offered a compromise of $5,000, subject to the permits being in place, which also failed. Coun. Eric Zhelka suggested the successful motion to halve the funds, with $2,500 now and the remainder once permits are in place. “I think it’s a reasonable balance on this one,â€? said Coun. Kevin Murdoch, acting mayor in Mayor Nils Jensen’s absence. “I do believe we do have a serious deer problem in Oak Bay and I think that every year we delay doing something we risk an enormous amount of cost.â€? cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Patrick Arena cairn to return A cairn marking the historic Patrick Arena will go back in place at Oak Bay High School with construction so near completion. The cairn marks the location across Cadboro Bay Road, on the east side of Epworth Street, where the arena stood before being destroyed by fire in 1929. Patrick Arena was the location of the first professional hockey game played on artificial ice in Canada. It was also the scene of the Victoria Cougars’ victory over the Montreal Canadiens in the 1925 Stanley Cup playoffs. In 2000, the Oak Bay Heritage Commission proposed that a cairn be erected, which would provide information about the arena, the Patrick family and the historic events. Greater Victoria School District and Oak Bay removed the cairn for safekeeping during school construction. Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen will execute an agreement with School District 61 with respect to placement, ownership and maintenance of the cairn. Oak Bay will cover the $200 cost expected to place the cairn. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

One of Oak Bay’s newest businesses celebrated its grand opening in grand style last week. Welcoming clients since March at its Oak Bay Avenue location, Kandé Global Hair Couturiere celebrated with a splash, welcoming clients old and new to the former Ted Harrison Gallery space at 2004 Oak Bay Ave. A stylist for 18 years, owner Kandé Whitehouse previously owned a shop at the Hotel Grand Pacific, but with so many of her clients hailing from Oak Bay, the move just made sense, the Oak Bay resident says. “At least 60 per cent of my clientele live in Oak Bay, and that’s much of the reason why I wanted to move here,” she says, appreciating the warm welcome she has received. “Everybody is so welcoming – people just stop by and say, ‘Hi – welcome to the neighourhood.’ Every day people are just popping in.” The bright, inviting interior, complete with elegant chandelier, stainless steel pendant lights and large mirrors, creates the ideal environment for Kandé’s stylists to create today’s looks, from timeless styles to more avant-garde designs. Clients range from those in their 20s and 30s to those 80-plus, from stay-at-home moms to businesswomen. “We cater to all ages,” Whitehouse says. Noting her own background from Central Africa, Whitehouse says her team is familiar with all kinds of hair types. “We bring something different to that location.” In addition to expert styling, Kandé retails the Rene Furterer line of products, known for its focus on creating a healthy scalp as the basis for healthy hair. After 18 years in the industry, it remains labour of love. “It’s a passion,” Whitehouse says. “I love meeting people and I love seeing them step out of my salon with a smile. I feel like I’ve accomplished something. “I also love educating my clients and helping them enhance their beauty, I love colour and I love creativity.” For more information call 250-590-7317. editor@oakbaynews.com

Beauty of a Hybrid gets more than a C
DrivewayCanada.ca |
Statements about the 2015 Toyota Prius c that I’ve heard before: The Toyota Prius c is boring to drive. Wrong. The Toyota Prius c doesn’t have enough power. Wrong, but not 100 percent Even when I inaccurate. decided to put my The Toyota Prius c looks like my grandma’s shoes. foot down (and Again wrong, but also funny. that was often) Say what you want about the smallest iteration of Toyota’s I still averaged 4.9L/100km phenomenally fuel-efficient hybrids, but it doesn’t lack combined. personality or the ability to Alexandra Straub shine on the road. Here’s why. Since the last time the c and I rendezvoused, I forgot how decent the handling actually is. That’s not what I’d say about all Prius family members. When passing a German sports car in a tight bend, I still had some leftover give from the tires and suspension. Body roll was surprisingly kept to a minimum so you know Toyota’s doing something right. Granted, I wasn’t on a racetrack (we both know who would win) and I wouldn’t say I was pushing it, but it does hold its own. It even garnered a thumb’s up from said driver. Prius: 1. Sports car: 0. So what if the drone of the engine and CVT combined sound like a lovesick walrus? It’s irrelevant. The car has to work hard if you want it to accelerate quickly. After all, it’s not a performance vehicle in the traditional sense. The Prius c will,
‘‘
’’
however, give you incredible fuel results. That’s thanks to the combination of a 1.5 litre, 4-cylinder gasoline engine, an electric motor and a sealed Nickel-Metal Hydride (Ni-MH) battery pack. There’s a whopping 99 net horsepower produced, but again, the c is all about efficiency. Estimated fuel results come in at 4.5L/100km in the city, 5.1L/100km on the highway and a combined number of 4.8L/100km. I could have driven it responsibly to try to beat those results, but that was not my goal. And there’s no fun in that! I wanted to drive it like I would any other car. Even when I decided to put my foot down (and that was often) I still averaged 4.9L/100km combined. Keeping in mind that there were a few long hill climbs on
my various adventures. Of the Prius vehicles available, I’d say it’s the least like a grandma’s shoe. In fact, I think it’s the cutest. Not because of its size, but because it has some nice lines to it. For 2015 there’s a restyled front end with standard single LED projector low and highbeam headlights, two new exterior colours and new “light pipe” taillights. Bonus.

Inside, you get quite a few tech features, a 6.1-inch (155mm) Touch Panel Display Audio with Navigation, and more. The front SofTex seats are heated, and if you happen to spill anything on them, they wipe of with minimal effort. Furthermore, there’s 484L of cargo space with the rear seats up. With the rear seats folded down, there was enough storage to fit my road bike inside (without having to take off the front wheel) and left room for my cycling gear and a passenger up front. On the subject of size, around town, it pretty much fits into any parking spot. Even those annoyingly small spots that are the direct result of people not considering others and awkwardly placing their vehicles at just the right distance so a “middle” car can’t fit. You know the violators I’m talking about. Prius: 1. Parking: 0. The particular trim of the c I had was deemed the “Technology.” That includes the aforementioned navigation system, SMS-to-speech and email-to-speech capability, a backup camera, a leather wrapped steering wheel, a power moonroof, 15-inch aluminum alloy wheels, and more. Let me be clear, the takeaway at the end of the day is that the Prius c is my favourite Prius in the lineup. You can drive the pants off it and you’ll still get amazing fuel economy results. There’s room for five, a road bike in the back – but in that case you’ll have to fold the rear seats down and kick three people out – fuel economy is stellar and it’s wrapped into a shapely package. C might stand for City, but it stands for “winner” in my books. Long live the Prius. The 2015 Toyota Prius c Technology has a starting MSRP of $26,055.

Share sun safety with all family members Summer is all about fun in the sun, but it also serves as a good time to remind all family members about the importance of practicing positive wellness behaviour. With weather like Oak Bay has been enjoying the spring and summer, the essentials of sun safety has to be one of the first messages shared. Because children spend a lot more time outside than adults and they need to be protected from the sun’s rays, notes the Canadian Cancer Society. By teaching children the importance of using their “SunSense” at a young age, you’ll give them the tools to protect themselves as they grow up, reducing their risk of developing skin cancer in the future. How important is sun protection? The Cancer Society notes that melanoma skin cancer is one of the fastest rising of all cancers in Canada. Skin cancer is the most common cancer in Canada, with an estimated 6,500 new cases of melanoma and another 76,100 cases For advertising opportunities, contact:

of nonmelanoma skin cancers expected to be diagnosed last year. Of the skin cancers, melanoma is the deadliest form. At the same time, skin cancer, including melanoma, is also one of the most preventable types of cancer. The main risk factor is UV radiation – responsible for up to 90 per cent of melanoma cases – from overexposure to the sun and other sources, such as indoor tanning beds. • Try to stay out of the sun, between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the rays are at their strongest, or any time of the day when the UV Index is 3 or more. • Send your kids to camp or play in protective clothing, such as a loosefitting t-shirt and a wide-brimmed hat (which provides more protection than a ball cap). • Provide shade in your play area and try a large umbrella if there are no trees.

FREE 1 WEEK TRIAL! • Apply sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher to your kids at least 20 minutes before they go outside. Reapply often and don’t forget nose, ears, cheeks and tops of feet. • If playing in or near water, ensure sunscreen is water-resistant and reapply often. Make sure they put on dry clothing after playing in water as wet clothing can lose up to half of its UV protection. • Don’t put sunscreen around your child’s eyes – it will probably sting. Try to get them to wear a hat. Or as soon as they can wear sunglasses, think about getting them a good quality pair of wraparound sunglasses (with UVA and UVB protection).

Discovering the hidden past of April Cottage Editor’s note: The following story was submitted to the Oak Bay News by local resident Jane Miller. Do you have an interesting real estate story to share? Email editor@ oakbaynews.com One day, a letter arrived from my Aunt in England. She had just bought a little house in the country, called ‘April Cottage.’ I thought it was an utterly charming name for a cottage. At that moment, I also had a sense of knowingness … that one day I’d have a cottage of the same name. I was nine years old at the time. Some 40 years later, I was married to an American and living in Virginia. Each summer, I would come to Victoria to visit my father. One year, my husband and I thought it would be practical to own a summer home in Victoria, which we could rent out during the winter months. As fate would have it, there was a little bungalow for sale near my father’s residence, but Ten Mile Point is pricey real estate, so I didn’t act on it at first sight. Each time I drove past the little house, it seemed to speak to me. Some time later, it almost shouted “Come look at me!”…so I drove a little slower … and looked a little closer. And that is when I noticed the sign saying it was reduced in price, with the new price posted. It was more
The quaint ‘April Cottage,’ as it was. affordable than I would have guessed. I immediately phoned my husband and the listing agent. Well timed, I might add, as I was told the listing was due to expire the next day. The property was an estate sale, which came with a separate cabin. The son of the deceased lived in the adjacent cabin, where he ensconced himself as a writer of novels. Everything about the property was perfect for our needs. I particularly loved the feel of the house, and the garden was ideal for the head-gardener of the family (my husband). At the time, I did not know about B.C’s property-transfer tax. (The tax

had been implemented after I left Canada). Unfortunately, the tax pushed the price of the bungalow beyond our budget. I was told the seller had turned down some good offers, so I was stymied about what to do. I noticed the owner had taken great pride in converting the cabin into his writing studio. I surmised he probably wanted to be able to remain in the cabin. Perhaps other potential buyers had wanted him to vacate? I took a gamble, and made our offer lower than his asking price … with the caveat the seller could remain in the studio as a renter. He accepted our offer! Not only because he could remain
in the studio, but because my first name was the same as his deceased mother. He felt that coincidence was a good omen. The little bungalow and studio were situated on a quarter-acre of English garden. The garden had masses of spring blossoms, so of course we had to name it April Cottage. I fixed up the bungalow in the style of a gardener’s cottage, using chintz, with pine and wicker furniture. Friends commented on the wonderful ambiance of the house and garden. One day over tea, the author-in-the studio told me about his mother, Jane. He said she adored the house and garden and wouldn’t hear of moving into a nursing home. After his absence on a trip, he came home to find his mother had committed suicide. Hearing that story, I was surprised the house had such a good vibe. A few summers on, our author/ renter hit a major financial downturn and had to leave. I thought the hardest part for him would be to leave his cozy abode. Instead, he said the greatest agony was leaving the cremated remains of his dog – and his father – in the garden! By then, I was feeling spooked. I was glad we were ready to move on, and buy a permanent home in Victoria. All these years later, I am still amused when friends fondly recall the wonderful ambiance of April Cottage, given its hidden past.
The Pros!

Enjoy a farm-fresh cycle tour this Saturday Jennifer Blyth Black Press
Oak Bay cyclists are invited to join the Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition for a spin on the Saanich Peninsula Flavour Trail Saturday. GVCC hosts the fourth of this year’s nine themed rides that explore a variety of routes through the Capital Region. On July 25, the focus is the Farm Fresh Flavour Trail, a cycle tour of local farms and markets. The approximately 20-kilometre circle route begins and ends at Saanich Commonwealth Place,
with riders leaving at 10 a.m. and returning around 2 p.m. It’s the first time the Coalition has hosted this particular ride, says Jason Weedmark, one of the ride co-ordinators, who has organized a similar ride for another group. Appropriate for families, “it’s a very simple ride along Elk Lake towards the Oldfield area,” Weedmark says, noting that once leaders see how many people are participating, they’ll break into several groups and routes so as not to overwhelm the individual destinations with visitors at the same time. He
expects around 30 to 40 riders. Seven stops are planned along the route – Le Coteau Farm, Sun Wing Farm, with their greenhouse-grown vegetables, Dan’s Farm, Phil’s Farm, for raspberries and blueberries, Oldfield Market, Fieldstone Farm, for raspberries and cherries, Skylark Farm and Symphony Vineyards. “It seems like people really do like the area; Oldfield is always interesting,” he says. With lots of options for picking up lunch along the route, plus goodies to enjoy at home later, Weedmark recommends
