As the days continue to shorten and winter solstice looms, ICBC and Saanich police are urging more pedestrians and cyclists to embrace flashy clothing as a matter of life and death. Last week, Saanich police and Reserve Constables distributed free commercial-grade reflectors to University of Victoria students as they boarded buses and rushed off to class. “See still see a lot of pedestrians out there dressed in black or dark clothing, so we want to let people know they can wear whatever they wish but you need to be reflective and visible at night,” said Saanich police Sgt. Alan Gurzinski. ICBC’s sobering statistics reveal a 74 per cent uptick in pedestrian collisions with vehicles between October and January. December is the worst month for pedestrian injuries and deaths resulting from vehicle collisions, and most incidents happen on Friday afternoons. Please see: Watch for walkers, Page A5

Saanich parks crews removed thick blackberry bushes from behind the school and replaced it with topsoil so students could plant berry-producing shrubs important to bird migration and hundreds of other plants. The project is a joint partnership with the school, the District of Saanich and the Peninsula Streams Society.

Quick facts n Vets Without Borders, a one-hour documentary, follows two teams of veterinarians and vet techs using their vacation time to volunteer at temporary clinics in Guatemala and Mexico. n Local filmmaker Erin Skillen hopes to raise $30,000 through crowdfunding to complete and distribute her documentary to festivals and broadcasters across North America. n The main goals of the Mexi-Can Vet Project are to fund and participate in sterilization clinics and improve animal welfare in Mexico; however, after each clinic, Greater Victoria vets return with anywhere from six to 14 dogs for adoption in Canada.
Filmographer Erin Skillen, left, plays with Mango while Zoro sniffs pet nutritionist Sandee Legh. The Mexican orphan dogs are up for adoption at Mackenzie Veterinarian Services at Carey Road. Skillen joined members of the clinic for Mexi-Vet’s spring 2013 trip to Guatemala when it worked with local veterinarians to provide nutrition, health care, spaying and neutering to more than 200 local dogs. About 10 dogs are brought back and are put up for adoption, while another group of orphans is sent in the fall, including Zoro, who’s been here two weeks. Travis Paterson/News staff
Doggie doc profiles doggie doctors abroad Travis Paterson News staff
At four months pregnant, Saanich filmographer Erin Skillen had her doubts while riding in the back of a pickup truck through the dirt roads of Jaltemba Bay, Mexico. With cameraman Mike Wavrecan in tow, Skillen had committed to documenting the work of members with mobile veterinary clinic Mexi-Can Vet Project as the team collected more than 200 street dogs in La Penita, a few kilometres south of Puerto Vallarta. “Most dogs were malnourished while some were sick and in desperate need of care,” says Skillen, whose credentials include an Animal Planet documentary on the University of Victoria’s oncebooming rabbit population. “When
I was in Mexico, a dog was saved after it had been deliberately fed a plate of poisoned french fries.” Mexi-Can’s work was too uplifting for Skillen to overlook, so she launched a crowd-funding project to create a new documentary: Vets Without Borders. Poisoning dogs isn’t rare in Mexico, as urban areas become overrun, though not all street dogs are actually astray. The dogs taken in by the Mexi-Can veterinarians and vet techs receive health care, a consistent diet and are spayed or neutered. After that, most are returned to their owners, though some are brought back to Canada for adoption. “From a Canadian perspective, there’s dozens of dogs roaming the street but most actually do have homes, which is why educa-
tion is so important,” Skillen said. Sandee Legh of McKenzie Veterinary Services has now been on two trips, where the one- to two-week crash courses with the Mexi-Can team treats as many dogs as possible and work with local groups and organizations to develop relationships and educate the local populations. “You can’t just go in there and tell them what to do,” Legh said. “When I first visited, it was women and children bringing dogs into the mobile clinic and now it’s men, which is a powerful statement.” It means the educational work that Mexi-Can has done is working, she added. “We actually go into schools where there are English-speaking children and we teach them health care values for dogs, and
then they teach their parents. It’s an effective cycle,” Legh said. Tails, for example, are routinely removed from puppies, often in a barbaric fashion, and for no known reason other than aesthetics. That’s since changed in La Penita. Skillen’s first trip with Mexi-Can was to Guatemala in 2010. At that time the area they visited had hit a crisis point with so many dogs roaming in packs. “That’s when they become dangerous,” Skillen said. “But the truth is, they are surprisingly well adjusted and socialized because they’ve learned to depend on humans for food, and have learned to get along with other dogs. It doesn’t work being an aggressive dog. And because of this they’re perfect for adoption.”
Every cup counts! From November 16th until December 13th, $3 from the purchase of Creekmore’s Country Roaster Coffee will be donated to Royal LePage Shelter Foundation that directly supports women’s transition houses on the island. Proudly Sponsored by:

Skillen is using crowd funding site Indiegogo.com to reach her $30,000 goal for Vets Without Borders (igg.me/at/vwb). Most of the cash will be used not to pay the filmmakers but for distribution to film festivals and broadcasters. So we can get the message out,” Skillen said. Skillen approached several broadcasters to commission the project but was met with requests for more trendy topics about predators or river monsters or snakes. “I believe there is a human story here that people want to see, people helping dogs, and people helping people,” she said.

Watch for walkers: ICBC Continued from Page A1
“Avoiding collision is a shared responsibility,” said Colleen Woodger, ICBC road safety coordinator. “It’s not just the pedestrian’s responsibility to wear reflective gear, but it’s also the driver’s responsibility to look for pedestrians.” Eye contact between drivers and pedestrians or cyclists is the best way to ensure both parties are aware of one another, Woodger said. Gurzinski, a member of Saanich PD’s bike squad, said he often discovers other mountain bikers on Saanich’s trails who lack proper lights and reflective gear. “They come up on you so quick, and it’s quite concerning
for me where you’re on a trail,” he said.
“Remember to look, listen and be seen.” - Colleen Woodger, ICBC But Woodger and Reserve Constables were encouraged by the initial response from passing UVic students, who were keen to grab a free commercial-grade reflector for their bag, jacket or bike. “Some transit users don’t think they need reflective equipment, but every bus ride starts and ends with a walk,” Woodger said. “Remember to look, listen and be seen.”

OUR VIEW
Mayor’s tasks show promise Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell offered a sweeping inaugural speech on Monday night that provides a foreshadowing of things to come – at least within the walls of municipal hall – in 2015. On Atwell’s agenda were items no less titanic than climate change, housing affordability, the study of regional amalgamation, sewage treatment and nearly as many mayor’s task forces and committees as cows on a Gordon Head feed lot. Those committees include a Governance and Co-operation Review Committee, a Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Seniors Issues, a Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change and a Round Table on Sustainable Development. Just to kick things off. Individual councillors, including newcomers Colin Plant and Fred Haynes, haven’t yet brought forward their ideas to council, though it seems Atwell will make a concerted effort to consult his colleagues before heading to the soon-to-be webcast arena of public discussion. The dynamics that play out in the coming months on council will be curious to watch, particularly as Saanich’s 25th mayor attempts to bridge-build with veterans from Frank Leonard’s camp while seeking support for an ambitous agenda. We still lack many particulars, but we know Atwell is a proponent of a distributed sewage treatment model, a plan which is already in its early stages with a West Shore and Esquimalt working group. Atwell intends to engage that group immediately, and rightly so. There’s also potential for fireworks when Atwell takes his seat at the Capital Regional District, where he’s hounded staff for the past two years with Freedom of Information requests on their stymied work up to now. The grace period sustained by committee study, discussion and concession will eventually lead to a council vote, and that may be where we see the battle lines drawn internally. But the tasks ahead require a strong leader who can balance consensus building with bold action. So far, regional leaders have failed to pull off such a feat. Let’s hope a fresh election can create some positive momentum. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour. Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature. In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government. And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C.

Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Human error to blame for Haro Wood deer issue Re: Haro Woods deer a hazard for drivers, News (Nov. 26) This story is a perfect example of how people do not exercise common sense and contribute to the deer issue. The first human error was dumping the apples. But I wonder if it was on purpose, not to feed but possibly to poison the deer or ensure they can be targeted at that spot, which is a danger to people and deer caused by people. The second error was people

complaining about it instead of doing something, like removing the apples and having someone speak to the property owner(s), which probably would have resolved the problem they’re complaining about. The third error was bringing up the subject of vigilante action against the deer. I’m tired of self-appointed executioners getting any undeserved print time in the papers or on the news. The forth error was blaming any of this on the deer.
I am angered and shamed by our using many creatures to show the “beauty” of our Province in tourism promotions and photography, including deer, bears, wolves, eagles, cougars, geese, etc., yet some try to viciously wipe them out when there’s money to be made or malicious fun to be had by killing them, or when deer are blamed for any inconveniences. Comparatively, the human species is the real danger! Janet Cass Saanich

Anti-violence groups ‘take back the night’ News Staff
Community, in all of its genders, united last Thursday at the University of Victoria. Women, men and transgendered of all ages gathered at the University of Victoria for the Take Back the Night march and candlelight moment of silence, a movement that aims to bring awareness to sexualized and gendered violence experienced by transgendered and Indigenous people and women of colour. The University of Victoria Student Society Women’s Centre, in partnership with other on-campus advocacy-based organizations, organized the event, said Jasmindra Jawanda, the group’s outreach and communications co-ordinator. Jawanda said UVic hadn’t held a Take Back the Night event in recent history and

So Thursday’s event was organized, set in a time of violence awareness with Transgender Day of Remembrance Nov. 20, the Nov. 25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the Dec. 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women that marks the Montreal Massacre of 1989 where 14 women were murdered on École Polytechnique campus. “It’s a good time to highlight events on our campus,” Jawanda said. “People want to be aware, they want to participate,” she said. The march itself has evolved as the world becomes more aware, addressing violence toward Indiginous women, trans-gendered people and women of colour. Take Back the Night is an international event with the mission of ending sexual violence in all forms. The event was meant to raise awareness on campus that violence of any kind won’t be tolerated. “It’s really to highlight that lives have been lost, lives may not be safe and more lives may be lost,” Jawanda said. “We’re addressing it where it needs to be addressed. It’s organically come into its own.” In the past, marches were women-only by design, in a symbolic gesture of women’s walk through darkness and to demonstrate that women united can resist fear and violence. “Our Take Back the Night here at UVic is an inclusive event as we are inviting everyone – women, children, trans-gender people and men – to participate with strong voices to end the silence and stop the violence,” Jawanda said. “Men are also our allies.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Troubled tree FREE basket assembly with any $75 purchase.
Arborist Cody Woelfle saws into the top of a poisoned Douglas fir on Elliston Street on Nov. 26, which was anonymously poisoned earlier this year. The tree was felled as a gesture of goodwill by the Davey Tree Expert Company, a job they estimated at $1,800. The fir died earlier this year after someone bored holes into its base and inserted poison then capped off each hole. The crew leader said the fir was extremely hard – nearly petrified – and dulled the chainsaw teeth at an abnormally fast rate. Homeowners Donna and Gordon Munroe were grateful for the charitable act, though they admit they’ll miss their tree.

Saanich Braves forward Nyshan Basra (12) had a hat-trick in the Braves 6-1 win over the Oceanside Generals at Pearkes Arena on Nov. 26. The win snapped a 5-game losing streak for the Braves.

The Saanich Braves capped off a successful week last Friday and earned a single point in an exciting 4-3 double overtime loss to the Victoria Cougars in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) action at Pearkes Arena in Saanich. The single point gave the Braves three out of a possible four points for the week, following a 6-1 thrashing of the Oceanside Generals at Pearkes last Wednesday. With the three points, the Braves (as of last Friday) had climbed to within one point of the Kerry Park Islanders for third place in the South Division, improving their record to 8-140-5. More importantly, with the solid performance against the Cougars, the Braves have shown that they are going to be a force to be reckoned with over the remainder of the season. Having started the year 0-8, including four losses to the Cougars by a combined score of 25-1, the Braves have begun to put together a respectable record, earning their eight wins and securing points in 13 of their 19 games since that time. Leading the way for the Braves is forward Nyshan Basra (15G, 12A), who is on fire and currently in the middle of a sevengame scoring streak in which he has netted seven goals and five assists, including a hat-trick against Oceanside last Wednesday. Basra began the season slowly, with just two goals in his first eight games, but in the 11 since then, he has scored 13
goals and eight assists to vault himself to the team scoring lead. But for a minor upper-body injury that saw him miss games in early November and a brief illness in early October, his totals could be much more. Braves Head Coach Brad Cook is very high on the 19-year-old Surrey product: “Nyshan’s value to the team is huge,” said Cook. “He is always a threat to score every time he touches the puck on the offensive side of centre. Opponents have to pay special attention to a player with his hockey sense, skill set and ability to finish. This results in more time and space for his line mates.” Cook said it’s been nice to see Nyshan assume a bigger role this season. “His compete level has become more consistent, which I believe has led to his great production,” Cook said. “He has worked hard to play a complete 200 foot game and be more physical, which provides him and his line mates more time in the offensive zone.” The Braves resurgence has also been buoyed by the return of forwards Nick Guerra, Seamus Maguire and Ben Meek. Guerra, who played for the Braves in 2012-2013, but spent most of last season with the BCHL Nanaimo Clippers, is splitting his time with the Braves and Clippers this season and has nine goals and 11 assists in 19 games with the Braves. Maguire, who played all of 2013-2014 with the Junior A Flin Flon Bombers in Manitoba, is also starting to contribute since his return, scoring six goals and five assists over his last eight games, including a pair of goals in Friday’s game against the Cougars. Meek, a Saanich Minor Hockey product who played part of the last two seasons with the Pen-
insula Panthers, came back to the Braves in early October. And while he only has four goals and eight assists in his 17 games since then, he provides the Braves with some much needed depth at centre, as well as some grit on the Braves’ front end. Head coach Cook said part of the Braves’ resurgence and improved play earlier this season can be attributed to finally getting some consistency in the lineup and by “putting some lines together that have been able to stick together in both practices and games. Our learning curves in practice have been great,” he said. “The kids have been like sponges and we are really starting to fine tune all the little details of our systems which you can only really do once you get a good foundation.” The Braves will now look to continue building on that foundation and continue their rise up the VIJHL standings with two games this week, including a visit to the Archie Browning Arena on Dec. 4 for a re-match against the Cougars (7 p.m.) and then return to Pearkes Arena on Friday for a 6:30 p.m. game against the Peninsula Panthers. That game is a special one for the Braves, as it is their annual Pink in The Rink fundraiser to help support cancer research. chris@independentsportsnews.com

Postcard sleuth hunts local history in new book Victoria author Nick Russell takes peek into the past with postcard book
sales, thrift shops, antique stores, online and old newspapers for postcards. He even found one postcard in the wall of a heritage house being demolished in James Bay. The book includes 35 preFirst World War postcards. Each heritage scene is complemented with an updated photo taken by Russell. He estimates he took more than 1,000 pictures for the project over a two-year period. There is also a small written piece on each site and, if appropriate, what was written on the back of the postcard. “Victorians and Edwardians were great collectors of postcards,” Russell said. “They kept albums, they collected cards when they went on trips, asked friends to collect cards for them. A whole sub-culture of exchange took place.” Russell chose the period before the First World War for his book because that was the height of the postcard era, when hundreds of thousands of postcards were made and mailed. It was the period of a lot of prosperity in the region and tourism was booming. Following the war, the

Victoria author Nick Russell has always been a collector. He’s collected stamps, coins, antique tools and, yes, postcards. So it’s not surprising that when he was looking at writing a new book on Victoria history, he turned to his collection of postcards. “After living in Victoria for a few years and researching the city’s history, I was seeing a lot of nice, old postcards,” said the author of Glorious Victorians. The idea for Russell’s newest book Victoria Then and Now: Postcards from the Past germinated as he was finishing Glorious Victorians three years ago. From, there he began collecting and researching for his new book. Part of the research involved searching estate
economy slowed and the enthusiasm for postcards began to fall. Russell has about 150 postcards in his collection, but dating the documents is a challenge. A legible stamp cancellation is a great help, but only indicates the card was probably then available. It may have been printed years before. Messages were not permitted on the earliest cards. Another difficulty for Russell was trying to determine exact spot where a photo was taken. He was able to triangulate most shots but one was simply impossible. The problem? New buildings (or the lack of landmarks) and even vegetation overgrowth. With some shots he had to go back five times or more to get proper lighting, depth of field and even “to get the trees right.” But this labour of love was worth it. “I really like putting things out there and sharing them. It’s not for the money, heaven knows. I like contributing something to the community, so that it’s a little richer,” he said.

Troubled tree FREE basket assembly with any $75 purchase.
Arborist Cody Woelfle saws into the top of a poisoned Douglas fir on Elliston Street on Nov. 26, which was anonymously poisoned earlier this year. The tree was felled as a gesture of goodwill by the Davey Tree Expert Company, a job they estimated at $1,800. The fir died earlier this year after someone bored holes into its base and inserted poison then capped off each hole. The crew leader said the fir was extremely hard – nearly petrified – and dulled the chainsaw teeth at an abnormally fast rate. Homeowners Donna and Gordon Munroe were grateful for the charitable act, though they admit they’ll miss their tree.

Anti-violence groups ‘take back the night’ News Staff
Community, in all of its genders, united last Thursday at the University of Victoria. Women, men and transgendered of all ages gathered at the University of Victoria for the Take Back the Night march and candlelight moment of silence, a movement that aims to bring awareness to sexualized and gendered violence experienced by transgendered and Indigenous people and women of colour. The University of Victoria Student Society Women’s Centre, in partnership with other on-campus advocacy-based organizations, organized the event, said Jasmindra Jawanda, the group’s outreach and communications co-ordinator. Jawanda said UVic hadn’t held a Take Back the Night event in recent history and

So Thursday’s event was organized, set in a time of violence awareness with Transgender Day of Remembrance Nov. 20, the Nov. 25 International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women and the Dec. 6 National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women that marks the Montreal Massacre of 1989 where 14 women were murdered on École Polytechnique campus. “It’s a good time to highlight events on our campus,” Jawanda said. “People want to be aware, they want to participate,” she said. The march itself has evolved as the world becomes more aware, addressing violence toward Indiginous women, trans-gendered people and women of colour. Take Back the Night is an international event with the mission of ending sexual violence in all forms. The event was meant to raise awareness on campus that violence of any kind won’t be tolerated. “It’s really to highlight that lives have been lost, lives may not be safe and more lives may be lost,” Jawanda said. “We’re addressing it where it needs to be addressed. It’s organically come into its own.” In the past, marches were women-only by design, in a symbolic gesture of women’s walk through darkness and to demonstrate that women united can resist fear and violence. “Our Take Back the Night here at UVic is an inclusive event as we are inviting everyone – women, children, trans-gender people and men – to participate with strong voices to end the silence and stop the violence,” Jawanda said. “Men are also our allies.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Human error to blame for Haro Wood deer issue Re: Haro Woods deer a hazard for drivers, News (Nov. 26) This story is a perfect example of how people do not exercise common sense and contribute to the deer issue. The first human error was dumping the apples. But I wonder if it was on purpose, not to feed but possibly to poison the deer or ensure they can be targeted at that spot, which is a danger to people and deer caused by people. The second error was people

complaining about it instead of doing something, like removing the apples and having someone speak to the property owner(s), which probably would have resolved the problem they’re complaining about. The third error was bringing up the subject of vigilante action against the deer. I’m tired of self-appointed executioners getting any undeserved print time in the papers or on the news. The forth error was blaming any of this on the deer.
I am angered and shamed by our using many creatures to show the “beauty” of our Province in tourism promotions and photography, including deer, bears, wolves, eagles, cougars, geese, etc., yet some try to viciously wipe them out when there’s money to be made or malicious fun to be had by killing them, or when deer are blamed for any inconveniences. Comparatively, the human species is the real danger! Janet Cass Saanich

OUR VIEW
Mayor’s tasks show promise Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell offered a sweeping inaugural speech on Monday night that provides a foreshadowing of things to come – at least within the walls of municipal hall – in 2015. On Atwell’s agenda were items no less titanic than climate change, housing affordability, the study of regional amalgamation, sewage treatment and nearly as many mayor’s task forces and committees as cows on a Gordon Head feed lot. Those committees include a Governance and Co-operation Review Committee, a Mayor’s Advisory Committee on Seniors Issues, a Mayor’s Task Force on Climate Change and a Round Table on Sustainable Development. Just to kick things off. Individual councillors, including newcomers Colin Plant and Fred Haynes, haven’t yet brought forward their ideas to council, though it seems Atwell will make a concerted effort to consult his colleagues before heading to the soon-to-be webcast arena of public discussion. The dynamics that play out in the coming months on council will be curious to watch, particularly as Saanich’s 25th mayor attempts to bridge-build with veterans from Frank Leonard’s camp while seeking support for an ambitous agenda. We still lack many particulars, but we know Atwell is a proponent of a distributed sewage treatment model, a plan which is already in its early stages with a West Shore and Esquimalt working group. Atwell intends to engage that group immediately, and rightly so. There’s also potential for fireworks when Atwell takes his seat at the Capital Regional District, where he’s hounded staff for the past two years with Freedom of Information requests on their stymied work up to now. The grace period sustained by committee study, discussion and concession will eventually lead to a council vote, and that may be where we see the battle lines drawn internally. But the tasks ahead require a strong leader who can balance consensus building with bold action. So far, regional leaders have failed to pull off such a feat. Let’s hope a fresh election can create some positive momentum. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

He seemed genuinely surprised that he has lived long enough to see the fruits of generations of labour. Gosnell recounted the 1887 paddling trip down the B.C. coast from the Nass Valley to Victoria to present the Nisga’a territorial claim, where the tribal leaders were turned away on the steps of the legislature by Premier William Smithe. It would take until 1910 for Prime Minister Wilfrid Laurier to promise a settlement, and until 1949 for Nisga’a Chief Frank Calder to be elected to the B.C. legislature. In 2000, when the treaty received royal assent in Ottawa, Gosnell took part in a ceremonial burning of the Indian Act and got to work on implementing self-government. And on Nov. 27, 2014, B.C. Liberal, NDP and independent MLAs voted unanimously to open the way to an industrial future for the Nisga’a. “That’s what being alive means to me today,” Gosnell said. “You’ve got to have big dreams. Maybe all those dreams won’t come true, but at least you have the ability to dream big. And boy, are we ever dreaming big.” Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com
