Better than heaven Boy makes solo trip from Ontario for Salish Sea camp Devon MacKenzie News staff

Is that a goat with a grin? One of the resident goats at Dan’s Farm takes a minute to soak up some sun.
The first time 10-year-old Brampton, Ont. resident Mitch Baird visited the Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre a few years ago, mom Kristen knew he was hooked. “He absolutely loved the centre from the first day we visited after it was recommended to us by my sister’s motherin-law,” said Kristen. For the last few years, Mitch, who has been visiting the Peninsula with his family every summer, has attended the Salish Sea day camp at the centre. This year, Mitch flew from Ontario to B.C. on his own to attend the camp. “Mitch loves being on the West Coast. Everyone who knows him can describe the difference in him when he’s out there,” explained Kristen. “This

year he knew he was old enough to fly on his own so he asked me if he could visit Victoria to go to sea camp and stay with his aunt. Of course I said yes.” Mitch participated in the Salish Sea camp at the centre from July 9 to 13 and enjoyed it as much this year as he did previous years. “Mitch could have gone to camp in heaven and it wouldn’t have been as good as the Salish Sea camp for him,” Kristen laughed. “Even though he’s only 10, I just know in seven or eight years he’ll be applying to go to school on the West Coast, he just loves it there.” Mitch also experienced what the Salish Sea offers to fishers while he was here on his trip. “He went with his uncle who runs a fishing charter out of Sidney and he got to go deep sea fishing and crabbing,” said Kristen. “He even caught his own crab from crab traps he set out off North Saanich and then got to eat them for dinner. The West Coast has just been a great experience for him over the last few years.” reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

NS says yea to trails, nay to OCP review Ardmore residents worry about privacy, security with new trails Erin Cardone News staff
A few Ardmore residents are worried about security and privacy as plans to build trails near their homes got the OK this week. “I would not be opposed to trails if they did not interfere with the privacy of residents affected by the trail,� Ron Ballard said in a letter to North Saanich council. “I have walked through most of the trails in the Ardmore area and the majority of the trails allow the person using the trails to see directly into the residents’ yards and homes.� Ballard’s property on Ardmore “The Drive would be majority of the adjacent to 114 of trail – trails allow the metres part of a trail that person using runs from Ardthe trails to see more to Glenelg Avenue. The disdirectly into the trict is also conresidents’ yards sidering running a trail between and homes.� Falkirk Avenue – Ron Ballard, and Bradley Dyne. Ardmore resident The two trails would connect to one another. “I think there’s four addresses down there that are really affected by this and I have a problem with there being four people that would hold this up,� said Mark Dodd, who lives on Bradley Dyne. Works superintendent Brian Robinson estimated building the two trails could cost $10,000, which was allotted in the 2011 budget. Mayor Alice Finall moved to a lot in Ardmore years ago and soon after, a trail was built behind her yard. Walkers and runners can see into her kitchen
window, she said, but security has never been a concern. “People live [in Ardmore] because of the trails,� added Peter Miller, who lives on Glenelg. Council voted 5-2 in favour of building the two sections of trail, with councillors Conny McBride and Craig Mearns voting against the plans. file photo

North Saanich won’t be reviewing its official community plan after all. “It would stop the momentum on [current proposed housing developments] and as the mayor says, we don’t have the money anyway,� Coun. Craig Mearns said at Monday’s committee of the whole meeting. Mearns and councillors Conny McBride, Ted Daly and Dunstan Browne voted in favour of not reviewing the document. Mearns originally proposed the OCP review in January. This spring, Mayor Alice Finall and councillors Elsie McMurphy and Celia Stock voted against an OCP review, saying the current document is recent enough and a review would be too costly. On Monday, the three voted against not doing an OCP review. “We’re dealing with many applications that deal with OCP changes, including housing density,� Finall said. Stock added she didn’t want to see spot zoning in North Saanich. The move means a proposal to build 22 units at 1950 John Rd. might get new life even though council had delayed it until an OCP review could be completed. Staff were directed to touch base with the developer, Norman Isherwood, to bring plans back to council in August. Roger Tinney, the project’s planner, told the News Review in December that the expected selling price of the belowmarket 1,000-square-foot, two-bedroom units would be about $165,000. editor@peninsulanewsreview.com

OUR VIEW
Tsunami cleanup readiness crucial Coastal authorities in B.C., including those in the Capital Region, have long been putting together tsunami and earthquake preparedness plans. But the need is growing greater for the three levels of government to have a definite plan in place to deal with potentially environmentally dangerous debris from last year’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan washing up on B.C. coastlines. Items ripped apart by the powerful waves, much of them covered with sea life that could threaten native species, have for months been arriving on the western shorelines of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Residents and others concerned about threats to the pristine nature of coastal areas have been doing their best to remove the material. No one knows, given the unpredictable nature of ocean currents, just how much flotsam will reach B.C. shores in the coming months and years. But enough has arrived already to inform provincial and federal authorities of the extent of the problem. The province is in a “fact-gathering stage” on the issue, said Environment Minister Terry Lake, who last week toured Haida Gwaii. His comments that any cleanup plan must be a joint effort between local, provincial and federal governments and First Nations make sense, but indicate the province is not willing to take the lead on tackling this problem. When a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in a packing crate washed up on a Haida Gwaii beach in April and its owner, who had lost three family members and his home in the disaster, was located, it was a bittersweet story. But the washing ashore of a 20-metre concrete and steel dock in Oregon on June 6 was a further sign that the worst is likely yet to come. This week’s shockingly low cleanup grant of $50,000 from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration for each of the five states affected, shows how low this issue is on that government’s priority list. We hope our federal government, already showing a similar lack of respect for the environment through budget cuts, does not take a similar tack by downplaying this serious issue. What do you think?

LETTERS Politicians just looking out for themselves Re: Adding 30 costly MPs inefficient, excessive (Letters, July 13) Of course Harry Atkinson is right: We are over-governed. If we’re to affect a change, it has to start at the local level, where – surprise – we’re also burdened with too many politicians and too many bureaucrats. This means getting together and amalgamating at least some of the many Greater Victoria municipalities and then setting our sights on bringing about efficiencies at the provincial and federal levels. I am completely confident in forecasting that this won’t happen. We’re too fragmented as a population to recognize our overall best interests and to act on them. And our richly paid politicians and bureaucrats (who aren’t similarly handicapped) know this. Regardless of the party they supposedly represent, politicians primarily stand for their own welfare. Not being stupid, politicians and bureaucrats know that if they just weather the occasional storm in public opinion, the populace will soon move on to other things and the governing classes can, with impunity, keep profiting in ever bigger and better ways to the detriment of the taxpayer. Anyone care to wager that I’m wrong? Dolores Bell Central Saanich
currency, which punishes manufacturing companies whose exports become more expensive – companies like Victoria’s Carmanah Technologies and the recently bankrupt Trafford Publishing. Nationally, mid-sized companies are disappearing at a frightening clip and foreign firms are gobbling up our most profitable high techs. Carbon taxes are among the suggested ways to reduce the amount of carbon we’re pouring into the atmosphere, causing global warming. It may not be the best solution or even a very effective one. But it is at least an attempt to do something about the looming catastrophes that global warming promises. Free trade may be an admiral goal, but the current agreements force Canadian workers into a global economy in which they must justify their wages in comparison with workers from Bangladesh. The treaties are usually more about investment protection than free trade: Countries, provinces, and municipalities cannot support local businesses, protect workers and the environment, or keep health care and water off the table. The issues in Harper’s attack ads are critical ones in determining Canada’s economic future. They are complex issues with no easy answers. They should be debated with respect, not with the scurrilous insults of a brief advertisement. Jim Geiwitz Saanichton
Mulcair attack ads make mockery of serious issues
Only takes a few careless rabbit owners to spawn infestation
Are we going to have to watch Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s disgusting TV attack ads on NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair for the next three years, until the next election? What’s the use of campaign spending limits if they only apply to the month before the election? These ads wouldn’t be so bad if they were informational, part of a serious debate on the issues. In this first series, the issues are “the Dutch disease,” the carbon tax and free-trade agreements. The Dutch disease refers to a country whose major exports are not manufactured goods, but natural resources like raw logs and oil, i.e., a country like Canada. The disease results in a high value of the country’s
Re: UVic’s rabbit problem won’t happen here (Letters, July 11) As anyone in the Quadra-McKenzie area can attest, it only takes one careless person who houses a couple of these rodents in their backyard to create a nightmare. Once the kids tired of them, they were let loose to roam the neighbourhood. For those of us who spent thousands of dollars landscaping our homes, it was heartbreaking to see just how much damage rabbits can do. What started off as just a few rabbits grew to hundreds in only five years. CRD animal control had no authority in this issue, so enforcement is non existent. Neutering requirements make sense, but
when dealing with people who don’t have any, it just doesn’t happen. If Sidney council were really interested in what its citizens have to say in this matter, they should ask the homeowners in West Sidney how they are coping with their infestation. Chris Brown Sidney
Rabbits’ ecological benefits should be noted Re: UVic’s rabbit problem won’t happen here (Letters, July 11) It seems that the case of Rocky the Rabbit versus Sidney has caused some violent reactions. Noel Gagnon is correct about the UVic “problem” that gave rabbits a bad rap and he says pass a bylaw that allows rabbits “and if Helen Watt so desires, possibly include a spay/neuter requirement.” This latter requirement would be an unjust solution since it discriminates against those who like rabbits instead of cats – and besides, who wants to be neutered? One of the reasons I believe rabbits should be permitted is to introduce the idea of backyard ecological herbivory. Our Rocky provides an essential source of clean, odourless, dry, organic pellets that feed our abundant fruit and vegetable garden. I pointed out to council that all intelligent cultures in the world are based by necessity on a relationship with an herbivore. In fact it is said that the Incan empire was built on llama dung, which recycled carbon sustainably. Most importantly, I would argue, the case of Rocky the Rabbit highlights a very critical decision that council must make regarding food sustainability and our future. With the example of Japan fresh in our minds and growing awareness that some 90 per cent of our produce is imported, it would be irresponsible of our leaders not to consider strong measures toward emergency preparedness and food sustainability, as we sit in view of Mount Baker. The humble rabbit and backyard herbivory are a step in the right direction, if we really do hope to get back to the garden. James K. Finley Sidney
Need for housing in North Saanich requires action Re: Density near airport doesn’t fly (Letters, July 11) Firstly, the majority on council decided to replace the mayor as CRD director because we were not satisfied that she would not continue representing her own views at CRD contrary to the views of the newly elected council. Not all municipalities are represented by their mayors on CRD. I make no apology for that move. The mayor’s removal and replacement on CRD has nothing to do with the present proposal to provide workforce housing in North Saanich. Had Ms. Horie been attentive to the recent developments on the Peninsula, she would have known that the impetus for the provision of workforce housing was driven by a group of local businesses that desperately need housing for their workforce. We have been provided with unchallenged statistics that show over 2,000 people work in this area and only 500 actually live here because there is no available housing apart from that which is prohibitively highly priced. These workers mostly live in Langford and Colwood and commute to work on the Peninsula every day – increasing vehicle pollution, traffic congestion, the high cost of travel and stress on young families. The proposed development of smaller lots and smaller workforce housing will take place only in certain designated areas in the vicinity of the airport and to the east thereof. These areas were identified as being suitable for this type of housing by a previous commissioned housing report in 2008. Most of the district will not be affected at all. The provision of this housing has nothing to do with “helping the poor.” No farm land will be developed and there is no intent to reshape or alter the character of North Saanich. Lastly, before any of these measures are put into place there will be ample and adequate opportunity for residents to voice their views at special public meetings called for that purpose and Ms. Horie can rest assured that my colleagues and I on council will be listening. Dunstan Browne councillor, North Saanich

North Saanich mayor disturbed by Daly’s ‘abuse’ of staff, mediator called in

The continental divide in the room was too broad to breach. In a room almost defined by the personalities that clash within its walls, the councillors and mayor of
North Saanich agreed to look into mediation. “In 19 years [in politics] I’ve never been as frustrated as I have been this term. If I didn’t apologize that night, I do,” Coun. Ted Daly said. He referred to the night of June 4 when, irritated by what he perceived as “stonewalling” and delays by staff, Daly reacted emotionally with strong language. The topic, plans to build a slaughterhouse at Kildonan Farm Fine Foods. On June 18, Daly noted he wasn’t

Car Insurance. Protect yourself from smash and grab thieves. Summer is here again, and you’ll probably find you’re using the car more, for going on road trips, or camping or a day jaunt to your favourite beach. Naturally, items like sunglasses, camping gear, shopping bags and cell phones for example also find their way into your vehicle. But what happens when you get back to your car from a day of fun and find the window shattered, the door forced and items are missing. If this happens, what’s covered by car insurance and what is not? While your car insurance covers many things, it usually does not extend to loss of your personal contents in the car. In addition to losing your personal property, a break-in can leave you with the hassle and expense of fixing damages such as broken window glass, typical with a break-in. If you claim against your car insurance, you’ll be paying the Comprehensive deductible. But if personal items have been stolen from your vehicle, your deductibles may not end there. Goods such as cameras, sporting equipment and clothing are usually covered under your home insurance policy, not your car insurance. You would be required to make two separate claims, one on your car insurance and the other on your home insurance. Typical deductibles on car insurance can range from $300 to $500, while $500 is the standard on home insurance. A car break in can cost you, the

insured, $1,000 in deductibles and the hassle of making two separate claims. The good news is that there are now some optional car insurance policies offering unique solutions, like the Smash and Grab coverage that can be added to BCAA’s Optional Car Insurance. The Smash and Grab coverage waives the glass deductible on all glass claims and covers your personal property up to $500, again with no deductible. Of course, prevention is always better than cure, so try and avoid making yourself an easy target by giving thieves a reason to break into your car. Keep valuable items hidden from view, or better yet keep them locked up in the trunk when you’re away from your car. You should also always ensure you lock the doors and roll up all the windows before you leave. The next time your car insurance is up for renewal, speak to a BCAA Car Insurance specialist. They’ll assess your needs and help find the options that are right for you. Marci-Lyn Braithwaite is an Insurance Specialist with BCAA. She can be reached at marci-lyn.braithwaite@bcaa.com.

The Peninsula Warriors peewee B lacrosse team were crowned provincial champions last weekend in Richmond. The Warriors’ 5-3 win was that much sweeter as it was played against the team’s rivals, the Campbell River Ravens. The Warriors, who are also Island champions, went 3 and
0 in round robin play at provincials, beating Port Coquitlam 12-7, New Westminster 9-1 and Kelowna 11-0. Before advancing to finals, the Warriors knocked off Delta with a 10-5 victory in the semis. Coach Scott Hale was ecstatic at the team’s success, saying dedication and talent put them at the top of their class. “It was a truly amazing season for [our] hard working and
talented group of 10-, 11- and 12-year-olds,” Hale said. “The team racked up 27 wins and only two losses.” Prior to the provincials, the Warriors also placed second in the Juan de Fuca Captain Cook tournament, placed first in regular Island league play, first at the Port Coquitlam Pop Styles Tournament and won the Island league playoff banner. sports@peninsulanewsreview.com

Painting all plants with same brush has its consequences Another wonderful, sunny summer’s day. Maybe because we waited so long for summer to show up this year, it seems especially lovely. It is so nice to see people out walking in the evenings, enjoying the warmth and the views, smiling and just glad to be alive. I hate to go on about things on my small balcony, but the allium have been so amazing I can’t stop raving about them. I’ve told you I picked three of them and put them to dry in the utility room, but they are now out in the living room where they can be admired as they dry. The one that looks like a bursting star is truly exotic. I called Dena (who gave them to me) to tell her how much I love them and she says she is selling the bulbs for $1 each. When I suggested that was too little she said, “Almost everything in my garden has been given to me at one time or another, so if I want to sell these beneath their actual value I’m just giving back.” Lovely thought. Each of the plants she has been given has a tag on it, not with the name of the plant, but the name of the giver. She is an amazingly nice woman. The most successful plants on the balcony are probably the pansies. There are yellow ones and orange ones, with a few small ones which are white with a bit of blue. Then there are the geraniums now blooming and some alyssum, all of them thriving after surviving a pretty mild winter. Last week I suggested you put your house plants (with the exception of the delicate ones

like African violets) outside in the shade for the summer. Taking my own advice I’ve moved the orange tree and the hibiscus onto the balcony and believe it or not the hibiscus (which had been looking rather sad) has suddenly become a robust, macho plant and to my amazement has now produced a couple of fat orange flower buds. I am suitably impressed. The pole beans which are now putting tendrils up a water spout and are blooming wildly are not producing beans, in spite of my hopeful pollination attempts with my make-up brush. When touched, the blooms drop off. There are a number of bean plants so they are being cross-pollinated. I am baffled. I water them
faithfully and fertilize them not too frequently. They have a deep pot and get full afternoon sun, so “vot is der problum?” Help, any ideas, anyone? I’m wondering if, because I’m using the same brush to pollinate the tomatoes, I’ve cross pollinated tomatoes with pole beans (which, of course, is impossible). Although I try to clean the brush between types of plants, perhaps just brushing the bristles against my jeans isn’t enough and I should find another brush – a shoe brush, hair brush, tooth brush, what? I’m going to try anyway. Gotta have some of those tasty pole beans. Helen Lang has been the Peninsula News Review’s garden columnist for more than 25 years.

THE ARTS Kids get creative at arts camp Devon MacKenzie News staff
Devon MacKenzie/News staff
Kids at the summer arts camp at the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula centre in Tulista Park work hard on their art project of the day, spirit stones, on Wednesday. The camp, which is run by Wendy Franklin, will run through the month of August as well.
Arts camps through the Community Arts Council of the Saanich Peninsula are keeping kids busy this summer. The camps, which run for four days at a time, started at least four years ago, said organizer Wendy Franklin, and have since grown. “The camps have been so popular. I think a lot of it is that it’s a great way to keep kids busy, but it’s also only $5 for four days of camp which is basically just a token amount because we’re aiming to promote the arts.” Franklin keeps a dozen kids aged six to 12 busy with projects that include jewelry making, spirit stone design, painting and stencilling. “It’s a really wide variety of different types of art and the kids are absolutely wonderful. Even the boys enjoyed the jewelry making because it was creative.” The next camps run from Aug. 13 to 16 and Aug. 27 to 30. The classes are currently full, but are taking children on the wait list.

Next week three of the world’s finest concert organists will arrive in Victoria, offering the opportunity to hear brilliant performances on each of the city’s three largest pipe organs. Wednesday, July 25 American organist Peter Richard Conte will play Alix Goolden Hall’s historic 1910 Casavant instrument. Conte is grand court organist of the world-famous Wanamaker
Organ at Macy’s Philadelphia department store. It’s the largest fully functioning musical instrument in the world. In addition to his concert career, he serves as choirmaster and organist of St. Clement’s Church, Philadelphia. Thursday, July 26, Canadian native David Enlow performs on St. John the Divine’s remarkable 1961 Casavant. He is organist and choir master of the Church of the Resurrection in New York City.

A digital window into the Olympics Saanich pair develop kids’ e-book for Games Edward Hill News staff
The question reads: What year was female wrestling introduced to the Olympic Games? I scratch my head and select “1984” on the iPad. I’m met with the red X of failure. Thankfully, an eight-yearold is nearby to correct me – the answer is 2004. It’s an electronic book written and designed for kids, but apparently adults have plenty to learn from a guide to the 2012 London Olympics. It was created by a Saanich husband and wife team who have crossed the threshold from magazine publishing to a digital-only book designed for the Apple iPad. The interactive, colourful and photo-heavy London 2012 Olympics: The Kids’ Only Guide allows kids (and adults) to explore Summer Olympic and Paralympic sports, the London venues, trivia and history of the Games using a medium that is becoming more popular and widespread each day. “With the Olympics coming, it seemed like a good fit. We had a good experience writing non-fiction for kids and it seemed like a fun project to do,” said David Garrison, who created the guide
with wife Shannon Hunt. “Since we weren’t going to London 2012, [the book] was a way for us to get excited about getting involved,” Hunt said. “It combined our interests and abilities, and we found ourselves at the same time without a job.” Garrison designed the pages and hunted down photographs, while Hunt researched and wrote the e-book over the past few months, which is now sold through the Apple Store in iTunes. The project offered a welcome distraction from the sudden and bitter end to two magazines they created. Until January, the duo had published kids’ science magazines Yes Mag and Know Mag, which had a combined 25,000 circulation, mostly in Canada. Yes Mag launched in 1996 and Know in 2006, and in 2009 Garrison and Hunt sold their Saanich-based publishing company to a Montreal firm, Mad Science Group. Both stayed on as employees. “The idea was to help us grow and expand. That didn’t happen,” Garrison said. “They decided to close the magazines. It came as a complete surprise.” The pair saw shifting to an e-book as an opportunity to learn a new publishing technology, while gauging the market for youth non-fiction e-books. “Magazines are limited by their pages. This medium allows quizzes, interactive maps of the
whole Olympic park,” Hunt said. “The topic lends itself to [the iPad]. It’s fluid, there’s lots of movement which the Olympics is all about.” “It’s hard to get the kids off [the iPad]. It’s a good medium for non-fiction,” Garrison agreed. “This book is a bit of an experiment. We have no sense of the market, but e-readers are popular. This feels like there’s a lot of potential.” Their kids, 11-year-old Casey and eight-year-old Remy, were key behind-the-scenes players as a focus group and picture illustrators. Both appear in the book, most notably Casey with champion triathlete Simon Whitfield – “fingers crossed for Simon,” Hunt noted. “We’re big Simon fans.” “Our kids helped in the initial stages on how we approached the book. We asked them, what would you like to see?” Hunt said. “They liked pin trading, they wanted to know about specific athletic venues and how to plan such a huge event.” “The most time consuming aspect was researching photographs and contacting photographers,” Garrison said. “Most photographers permitted us to use their photos, many for free. A lot thought it was a great project and were happy to let us use them.” Search for London 2012 Olympics: The Kids’ Only Guide in the Apple Store through iTunes, or see www.twokidsandapup.com. editor@saanichnews.com
