Fowl fight

Saanich woman irate after off-leash dog kills chickens at rescue farm, owners flee Andrea Anthony News staff

A Saanich woman is calling foul after three of her chickens were killed and two others injured in a vicious dog attack near Beaver Lake Park. Shauna Payton was at work when the June 20 incident occurred, but her mother, Sharon Ross, and a neighbour witnessed the horrible scene. “The (dog owner) didn’t leave any information, so I have no idea who they are,” Payton said. Ross said two women were walking the off-leash dog when it suddenly broke through two fences and made for the chickens. Payton takes in fowl from other homes and has several rare breeds, including an endangered Red Dorking, only one of three Payton knows in Western Canada. “He was attacked ... and he’s in so much pain he can barely walk,” she said. The dog walkers borrowed a leash from Payton’s neighbour to control their pet, but didn’t speak to anyone when they returned

it days later. “They just left the leash by her front door; they didn’t knock or anything,” Payton said. Now Payton wants an apology from the dog’s owner, as well as some compensation for the loss of her fowl and the medical expenses she racked up for the injured pets. “My main concern is these people realizing they’ve done some pretty serious damage and need to take responsibility for it,” she said. This also isn’t the first time Payton has had issues with dogs in Beaver Lake Park. “I ride my horse in that park almost every day, and I have constant problems with dogs not being under control,” she said. There are only two parks in Saanich where dogs need to be on-leash at all times — the Cedar Hill Golf Course perimeter trail and Rithet’s Bog Park. Dogs are also prohibited at all times in Swan Lake Park and Quick’s Bottom Park. Everywhere else, dogs must at least be under effec-

They just let their dogs run freely in the parks and problems occur.”

Owners who let dogs run freely in a prohibited place could face a $100 fine under District of Saanich bylaws. Payton agreed many people are unaware of dog control bylaws. She also thinks there should also be more signage in parks to increase awareness of effective control of dogs. Parks with usual dog

Heroic link to school a winner Anastasia Bird, 11, discovers connection to tragedy that took lives of St. Margaret’s school founders

Travis Paterson News staff

If Anastasia Bird could ask her great-grandfather Leonard Horth one question, it’s this: “How did he climb up those rocks (at Curteis Point)?” The 11-year-old has spent recent months researching her family history with a special focus on Horth who, along with his father Rufus and brother Brownie, were first responders to the sinking of the SS Iroquois near Sidney on April 10, 1911. Twenty-one people perished in the disaster, including the original founders of St. Margaret’s School, sisters Edith and Isobel Fenwick. It turns out the men used ropes and a horse saddle to pull people up the rocky bluffs near the Horth’s family farm in North Saanich. The first person rescued that day was Margaret Barton, principal of St. Maragaret’s. Bird found out last week she’ll be the first to win the newly created Lakehill Community Scholarship to St. Margaret’s, valued at $22,000 over three years. The scholarship will carry Bird through Grades 6 (which she starts in September), 7 and 8, at a school she otherwise wouldn’t have been able to attend. “Anastasia went to a lot of trouble to research her background to find out as much as she could about her personal connection to the school, and she embodies the all-round student that we’re looking for,” said Kathy Charleson, director of admissions at St. Margaret’s. Until Bird won the scholarship,

Travis Paterson/News staff

Anastasia Bird stands outside the middle school building at St. Margaret’s School holding the Sinking of the Iroquois: Fact and Fiction, and her family tree, right, a key part of her scholarshipwinning report. Bird’s great-grandfather, Leonard Horth, inset from the Sidney Museum and Archives (No. P998.1.29). Horth rescued the school’s principal, Margaret Barton, from the ocean. there was no certainty that she would attend SMS. Jennifer Paterson, Anastasia’s mother, initially had reservations about her daughter’s desire to attend the private school. “Ana was only 10, so I didn’t expect her to understand what it would take. Her marks weren’t strong enough and I also told her I wouldn’t be able to afford it.”

But Bird persevered to be a better student at Millstream elementary, became a leader for Girl Guides and Sparks, and upped her commitment to basketball and swimming. It paid off, but there was still the matter of the tuition. “Ana was serious so we approached the school and they explained the different scholar-

ships available, including Lakehill. So we looked up the history of St. Margaret’s and saw that the (Fenwicks) died when the Iroquois sank. After a while it hit me, my grandfather (Horth) had a story of saving people from the Iroquois.” It was game on then, as they visited The Sidney Museum and Archives. The museum didn’t reveal much about Horth, but led

them to the major breakthrough they needed, the book The Sinking of the Iroquois: Fact and Fiction, by Joan Neudecker of Deep Cove. “Right away I remembered (Neudecker), she was a teacher and I knew her when I grew up in Deep Cove,” Paterson said. Turns out Neudecker had spent several hours with Horth before he passed away to conduct part of her research. “Leonard and his brother Brownie, and a lot of young men from the area were instrumental in rescuing some of the passengers,” Neudecker said. “Leonard was always known as Loe (pronounced low). He was quite elderly when I took him around the North Saanich district and he told me about every piece of land, who had farmed it, how many kids were there, the whole history. There wasn’t a great number of families around back then, only farms and farmhouses.” When Bird and Paterson visited, Bird was reluctant to talk, Neudecker said, but it was clear she’d done a lot of research. “Ana needed to tie it up, and obviously she did a good job.” The Sinking of the Iroquois: Fact and Fiction is available at Tanner’s Books in Sidney or through Neudecker at jojoneudecker@ shaw.ca. St. Margaret’s also awarded the Centennial Scholarship to Olivia Burbee, who enters Grade 10 in the fall. Burbee’s success in academics, leadership, service and extracurricular involvement have won her full tuition until graduation. reporter@saanichnews.com

Summer camp volunteers needed Travis Paterson News staff

Saanich is in need of dozens of volunteers for its youth summer camp programs. Volunteers generally need to be 16 years of age and experience is helpful for many of the activities, such as skateboarding or swimming, as many of the day camps include a pool visit, though experience is not always necessary. Commitments are usually one week at a time, throughout the summer, depending on the camp. Art, cooking, dance and floor hockey camps are still in need of assistants, among others. To view a list of summer camps that still need volunteers, visit the comprehensive schedule and camp descriptions at Saanich Recreation Volunteer Services website or check out bit.ly/1pXNml0. reporter@saanichnews.com

Quality Foods opens brand new store in Langford Owners, managers and staff members with the Island’s own Quality Foods welcomed invited guests to the unveiling of their 12th store in the chain Tuesday night in Langford.

OUR VIEW

A few rules for summer Summer burst into its full glory this week in Saanich. Time to fire up the barbecue, head to the beach and enjoy the sun. However, without becoming a total buzz kill, here are a couple of points that seem to need repeating every year. First: Be careful out there. Our regional beaches and lakes are inviting on hot summer days as they are potentially deadly. Under tow, large waves and underwater snags, hot sun, can turn fun at the beach into a tragedy. And keep it alcohol free. Water and alcohol simply do not mix. Not only is it unsafe, it’s illegal. The summer sun is great, but remember it can also can be a killer. Don’t leave your pet in a vehicle for any reason, for any length of time. An open window and a bowl of water won’t help an animal trapped in a hot car. Remember, too, that the sun we miss so much during the winter rains packs a wicked punch. Recent reports indicate that instances of skin cancer remain high, despite years of warnings. So if you’re going outside, even if the clouds creep in, wear some sunscreen. Second: Be respectful. The simple rule – pack it in, pack it out – seems lost on far too many people. Enjoy that early morning coffee by the lake, but don’t leave the empty cup on the bench for someone else to dispose of. Gathering up all the garbage and leaving it in a green garbage bag by the roadside is a nice thought. And speaking of which: if it’s your dog, what’s left behind is your responsibility. Greater Victoria has some spectacular parks and walking trails; they’re not made better studded by dog feces. Saanich is a great place to be in the summertime. A couple of simple rules can make it even better. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Question

of the week

YOUR VIEW

Aboriginal title a complex notion Just some clarifications regarding Tom Fletcher’s column, Life after the Tsilhqot’in decision (B.C. Views, July 2). 1. Federal and provincial authority may vary with the strength of an aboriginal title claim, as Fletcher contends, in the sense that the obligation to consult and accommodate is proportional to the strength of the claim. But this is not so once aboriginal title has been proved in court (as the Tsilhqot’in have done). Once such title is established it is no longer a matter of a “claim” and the aboriginal owners must consent to any development proposal respecting their land – unless the government supporting such a development meets the stringent constitutional test for limiting aboriginal rights and title in the absence of consent. 2. A finding of aboriginal title does not necessarily “lock in” communal ownership. Just as treaty First Nations may agree to convert land to fee simple title, aboriginal title holders may agree to surrender land to the federal Crown on the condition that it be re-conveyed to them for the purpose of conversion to fee simple. I suspect that obtaining such agreement is no easier in the former scenario that the latter, but it may be.

Does the CRD’s Clean Air Bylaw go too far in restricting smokers? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

3. The Tsilhqot’in had a long history of keeping others out, and were the only First Nation that was hostile even to the fur trade. But they did not fight a war in the 1860s to defend their territory from a “wave of gold seekers.” They expelled everyone. In 1864, after being threatened by the foreman of a crew building a wagon road through their territory – he had warned darkly of bringing back the small pox that had killed at least one third of their population two years earlier – they killed nearly all the crew and then killed or expelled all white settlers from their territory. Hamar Foster, QC Professor of Law University of Victoria

Reader misses mark with Canute comment Re: Sewage concerns certainly concerning (Letters, July 4) Once again, a writer to you misinterprets King Canute’s demonstration at the tide’s edge. His intent was to demonstrate to fawning courtiers that he could not stop the tide. In that, he succeeded very well. Unfortunately, modern generations have misunderstood the moral Canute intended for his subjects. Roger Love, Victoria

Tennis BC, a provincial division of Tennis Canada, and the South Island Tennis Association have been supportive of Silversberg’s venture, while the TLC Fund for Kids and Victoria Real Estate Board are financial supporters. Society for Kids at Tennis holds free lessons on Wednesdays at Hampton Park tennis courts. Classes for kids aged eight to 12 take place at 4 p.m. on Wednesdays, while a teen program (ages 13 to 18) starts at 6 p.m. No registration is required.

Free tennis lessons offered to Saanich youth in need venture into the not-for-profit arena and I’ve been so amazed by how accommodating everybody is,” said Silverberg, who retired to the Island from Ontario six years ago. Similar programs held at Vic West Community Centre and Quadra Village Community Centre are showing strong turnout, but kids haven’t been showing up for the Saanich lessons in the same way, Silverberg said. “I think it’s just a matter of getting the word out,” he said. The volunteer instructors are mostly retired tennis players, and Silverberg recently completed his Tennis Canada certified instructor course in Nanaimo. “I’m 72 and I think I’m the oldest student they’ve had,” he said. Silverberg is looking for more volunteers with tennis experience as the program expands. He’s also arranged a

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.

Mix fun with caution around the water Summer family trips to the lake or ocean carry risks Arnold Lim News Staff

When it comes to water safety, summer is the most dangerous time of the year. More than 500 Canadians drown every year, many of them children and teenage males. Bruce Andrew, Victoria-based manager of community development for the Canadian Red Cross, said that number is high, especially when many of the fatalities are preventable. “Children can drown in inches of water. That is one of the dangers they don’t understand that can happen,” he said. “It only takes one mistake and it could be your last mistake. People aren’t taking the risk around water seriously enough.” A recent report by the Canadian Red Cross documenting 20 years of data between 1991 and 2010 showed 20 per cent of drowning fatalities are children between age one and four unexpectedly falling around water. With children, Andrew said, the key to water

“It only takes one mistake and it could be your last mistake. People aren’t taking the risk around water seriously enough.” – Bruce Andrew, Canadian Red Cross safety is parental supervision and life jackets. “One of the main issues is people are not wearing life jackets or Personal Floatation Devices (PFD). Many lives can be saved, yet people still aren’t doing that. (Also) 80 to 90 per cent of drownings on boats happen when people are not wearing one.” A sense of fun in the water lets people’s guard down, Andrew said. Because of that, many don’t heed posted warnings or acknowledge the potential dangers around water, either for themselves or family members. Regardless of one’s ability to swim, many risk factors

can take that ability away. “In cold water, it doesn’t matter how good a swimmer you are, hypothermia sets in in four to five minutes and you don’t have the ability to swim. The water can be a dangerous place,” he said. “It is a fine line. Water is such a unique environment. 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 masking potentially dangerous situations. Those can include accidental slips or falls, an issue exacerbated by water making surfaces more slippery than normal. “There are so many preventable drownings,” he said. “You have to treat the water with respect, because it can be a dangerous situation.”

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.”

Colwood property comes alive again with young campers Youth learn how to make positive social change Don Descoteau News staff

Friends Uniting for Nature (FUN) Society executive director and founder, Maia Green, clowns around with an all-natural wig, in keeping with the camps’ main focus.

Inspiring children and teens to do something more to preserve the environment and act on their outdoor passion is what FUN camps are all about. FUN, a well-crafted acronym for Friends Uniting for Nature, has been offering environmental summer day camps for young people aged six to 16 since 2008 in Victoria and Vancouver. The success of the non-profit society’s camps led them this year to expand to the West Shore, on a Colwood site that has a rich history of connecting kids with the outdoors. Coast Collective on Heatherbell Road, now a central part of the arts community on the West Shore, has partnered with FUN to offer a pristine location where campers can learn about their surroundings and experience activities

that have little to do with electronics. “We’re definitely not your average summer camp at all,” says Maia Green, executive director and founder of the Friends Uniting for Nature Society. “Kids are inspired to take action. The camp is focused on environmental leadership.” Summer camps ran at the Havenwood estate, anchored by the historic Pendray House which now houses the Coast Collective’s gallery and programs, between 1977 and 2001. Shannon Carmen, a Metchosin resident who now works with Coast Collective, remembers fondly the summer days she spent at the former Pacific Centre for Family Services day camp between 1994 and 2000. “We learned to sail and canoe on Esquimalt Lagoon,” she says. “You were doing archery and tree climbing – that was something you did for an hour.” Being around the area she played in as a child and teen allows her to relive a part of those experiences every day.

“When I think of it, and working at Coast Collective now, there was something that was so magical about that place.” Carmen, now 32, likes the idea that children are now back and learning valuable lessons while playing. “We weren’t talking about saving the environment, we just absorbed it by osmosis,” she says. As part of the summer programs, which see all ages engage in activities together, campers are encouraged to follow their heart and create their own “passion project.” “It gets them thinking about what do they really love and what would they like to do to make the world better,” Green says. 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 out 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. Winners receive seed money to follow up on their dream and are assigned a mentor for a year. Last year, 10 Champs were funded in each of Victoria and Vancouver. FUN also prides itself on the fact its day camps are accessible to low-income, disadvantaged and at-risk children and youth through their scholarship program, which enables one third of all campers to attend free of charge. The day camps run now through Aug. 29. For more information on the camps or to donate to the scholarship program, contact Green at 778-977-5921 or visit funsociety.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Ledger House undergoes renos A 13-bed youth mental health treatment facility is undergoing major renovations to add two more beds for urgent care. Safety and security upgrades to Ledger House, located in Saanich’s Queenswood neighbourhood, will be taking place until January 2015. The work includes putting in capacity for four beds in the facility’s Special Care Unit, which treats kids and teens who require urgent service or short-term stabilization for conditions like active mania, suicidal attempts and psychosis. The current Special Care Unit has two beds, with a third internal bed for youth admitted to other Ledger units who require short-term crisis stabilization, said Sarah Plank, Island Health spokesperson. The two additional beds won’t be filled upon

Saanich manager joins provincial engineer council Saanich’s street operations manager, David Sparanese, has been appointed to the Applied Science Technologists and Technicians of B.C. council for 2014 and 2015. The eighth largest professional organization in B.C., based in Surrey, includes over 10,000 engineers, technicians and specialists, and is the certifying body for technology practitioners. Peter Sparanese Sparanese attended Camosun College and worked at the City of Victoria before moving to Saanich 11 years ago.

completion unless additional funding is secured to operate them, Plank said. “[The beds] can be available based on organization and community priorities and human and fiscal resources in the future,” she said. Farmers Construction was awarded the work, while Topline Construction is completing a concurrent two-month roofing project at Ledger House. “We are maintaining full operations during both construction projects, mindful of strict safety considerations,” Plank said. Ledger House is for kids aged six to 16 who require hospitalized psychiatric care as a result of mental health issues such as trauma, anxiety, complex ADHD or depression. Ledger serves all of Vancouver Island. Most patients are voluntarily admitted, with the recommendation of a doctor, and the average stay is about a month.

Q: WHAT SHOULD I CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING AT HOMES WITH SUITES? Price is king – Meyer said he always advises his new clients to “fall in love with the price, not the home.” Entering the real estate market is a big decision, and looking beyond the esthetics of a house can help you see potential. Look for long-term tenants – If a home already has well-suited tenants, all the more reason to consider a purchase. Mobility with renters can be difficult, particularly when new buyers are relying on that income to pay their mortgage each month. Income properties can work - Meyer keeps a list of income properties at victoriaincome properties.com

BUYING TIP |For first-time buyers, calculate mortgage payments by including rental income on a suite

Secondary suites increase buying power Legal suites are ideal, but not typical across most of Saanich Daniel Palmer News staff

Jeff Meyer deals with a lot of firsttime homebuyers in Saanich, and more often than not, they’re looking for a secondary suite to help with the mortgage. Of the estimated 9,000 secondary suites across the District of Saanich, less than 100 of those are legal suites. But those numbers should be taken with a grain of salt, as demand for suites remains strong from students, young professionals and others who need affordable housing in a suburban market. “Most of my buyers are looking for suites,” said Meyer, a real estate agent with RE/ MAX Camosun. “If people want a legal suite, you’re either moving to Langford or downtown Victoria.” Meyer said nine out of 10 of his buyers don’t actually care if a suite is legal, because

Don Denton/News staff

Many Saanich homes, including some of those pictured above around Mt. Tolmie near the University of Victoria, contain secondary suites, and most aren’t authorized by the District of Saanich. But unauthorized suites aren’t necessarily a hindrance for sellers nor a deterrent for buyers in Saanich. “we all know most of those suites aren’t legal.” Following a lengthy consultation process, Saanich council legalized secondary suites south of McKenzie in June 2010. In the nearly four years since, only 98 homeowners have received a permit for a legal suite.

Jeff Meyer Now, Saanich is considering allowing homeowners to

legalize secondary suites in most neighbourhoods north of McKenzie Avenue as well. Meyer said the move is a positive one, but new buyers should still ensure any unauthorized suites contain at least two exits, have a sizeable window in the bedrooms and

have proper fire alarm wiring throughout the residence. “The advantage to having an authorized suite is you don’t need to fear being shut down, because for a lot of homeowners, they need that rental income to pay their mortgage,” Meyer said. Meyer said buyers from outside the

region tend to be most concerned with legal suites, as they don’t want to run into any problems upon moving to Saanich. Regardless, suites can help generate income to cover mortgage payments and allow first-time buyers a bigger slice of the real estate pie. editor@saanichnews.com
