Summer traffic woes start now

Bhangra showcase a Mother’s Day treat

Travis Paterson News staff

Nothing says summer quite like inching the car along under the blistering hot sun as workers in reflective vests usher one-way traffic through plastic pylons.

Make no mistake: it’s sum-mer construction season in Saanich, and two major proj-ects will soon be creating inconveniences for drivers.

To start, Saanich crews will begin a full shut-down of the Patricia Bay Highway on-ramp at Quadra Street beginning May 19, thanks to a faulty sewage pipe.

The northbound on-ramp access will be closed until June 2, and Saanich’s engi-neering director Harley Machielse is recommending drivers loop south and access the Pat Bay northbound from Mckenzie Avenue, or detour north and use the access at Royal Oak Drive.

Saanich’s big-ticket road-works item this year is a phase of the $5.6-million Til-licum Complete Streets Proj-ect. As of today (May 6), there will be a full road closure on Tillicum Road between Carey Road and the Trans-Canada Highway. Crews will be working along this 1,250-metre stretch for the next two months, although pedestrian

traffic will still be able to get through the area, Machielse said. Cyclists will be asked to detour or dismount and walk their bikes through the con-struction zone. Side phases of the Tillicum project stretch north on Glanford Avenue to Mann Avenue.

Saanich acknowledges that closing the well-used Tillicum artery and Quadra on-ramp will cause headaches and is asking for patience as traffic is re-routed.

“To prevent delays and unnecessary traffic conges-tion, we ask that drivers plan alternates routes and avoid this section of Tillicum Road for this phase of the project,” Machielse said.

The two lane plan for Til-licum will maintain access to residential driveways and install medians to calm traf-fic and create “pedestrian ref-uges,” he added.

The end goal of the Com-plete Streets project is to pro-vide safer access for pedes-trians and cyclists while upgrading underground utili-ties.

Saanich crews are also in the final stages of the Cook Street improvement project from Quadra to Maplewood Road. That area is expected to re-open to traffic later this month.

Faulty sewage pipe means Quadra Street on-ramp closes for two weeks

Daniel PalmerNews staff

The Intermediate Boys Bhangra Team of the Shan-e-Punjab Dance, Performing Arts and Heritage School are putting the final touches on their performance in preparation for the 22nd annual Vaisakhi celebration at the University of Victoria’s Farqhuar Auditorium, which takes place May 10.

The team is one of 16 performing at the Youth Cultural Showcase,

where more than 200 Shan-e-Punjab students will take to the stage to dance Bhangra and Bollywood numbers.

“Shan-e-Punjab is the first of its kind and has been in operation since 1993,” says director Sonia Grewal. “It is a premier school and a youth-led organization that has taught hundreds of students over the years, including providing key performing and leadership opportunities for youth,” Grewal says.

Vaisakhi took on special

significance for the Sikh community in 1699, when the 10th of the Sikh Guru-Prophets—Guru Gobind Singh — formally established the Khalsa Panth (the community of committed Sikhs) and publicly entrusted it with leadership. Historically, Vaisakhi is a harvest festival celebrated on April 13 or 14, and is also referred to as the Sikh New Year. Find tickets to the May 10 event at tickets.uvic.ca or call 250-721-8480 for more information.

Travis PatersonNews staff

Despite a boom in local brew-eries in Greater Victoria over the past 15 years, the Island’s most populous municipality remains without a brewery of its own.

While it’s only a matter of time before such an establish-ment puts down roots in Saanich, rumours have long circled that the District was home to the first brewery in the region – and pos-sibly in B.C.

The tale goes like this: German-born William Steinberger started brewing beer in a log cabin on the east shore of Swan Lake in 1858, soon after he showed up on the shores of Vancouver Island during the Fraser River gold rush. But instead of chasing gold nug-gets, Steinberger opened a brew-ery instead.

However, the region’s lead brewing historian, Esquimalt archivist Greg Evans, believes the Swan Lake brewery story may not hold water.

“The earliest documented instance for a brewery here is (Steinberger’s) Victoria Brewery in 1859, which was downtown,” Evans said. “I believe Victoria Brewery was producing earlier than 1859, (but) I’m still working on pinning that down.”

For decades, Evans has remained unquenched in his thirst for the knowledge of who brewed the first batch of beer in the region, and where they did it.

Most suspect Steinberger relo-cated his operation to downtown Victoria, which opened as the Victoria Brewing Company at Dis-covery and Government streets. Newspaper ads show up as early as March 1859.

“We know it was Steinberger, but the more I look at notes and drawings of Swan Lake from 1858, there’s nothing to suggest any-

thing there other than a glorified trail,” said the sleuthful Evans. “Until recently, I bought into the belief (the first brewery) was at Swan Lake as well.”

When he’s not working for Esquimalt, Evans is busy docu-menting the history of breweries in other parts of B.C. He plans to turn his focus to the mystery of the Swan Lake brewery one day soon and solve it for good.

“One of the reasons I have a hard time believing it was Swan Lake is because it was reported in those days that the lake was polluted, which is perhaps why Steinberger moved downtown,” he said. “Why would he brew his beer four miles from town, keg it and drive it into town on an uneven trail and risk having it topple over?”

Prior to Steinberger, there were reportedly other attempts to brew beer in Victoria. Would-be brewers were tempted by the Hudson’s Bay Company’s surplus store of grains in the 1850s. Dur-ing the Crimean War (1853 to 1856), it was reported HBC was forced to stockpile grain it had been selling to Russia due to the

Island’s colonial allegiance to Brit-ain.

But the facts are blurred between legend and truth.

A Colonist article from March 10, 1957, states Kenneth Mcken-zie’s Craigflower farmlands (the Puget Sound Agricultural Co., a subsidiary of HBC) was success-fully growing grain, and suggested that beer could be produced locally from this grain. But HBC, which reportedly wasn’t inter-ested in supporting a brewery, is said to have refused to allow Mckenzie to use the grain for that

purpose. The story also states that hops

still existed at Swan Lake in 1957 and were planted by Steinberger.

This is some of the strongest evidence for a Swan Lake brew-ery, but Evans’ remains skeptical as there are no supporting docu-ments.

Aside from when his brewery started, Steinberger has a well-documented history of brewing in Victoria and farming in Saan-ich. He may have started with a partner to get Victoria Brewery started, and certainly took one on by the time he sold it in 1860. The brewery merged with Phoenix in 1893 and became the Victoria-Phoenix Brewery, which contin-ued to change hands and brewed until 1981 in its iconic six-storey brick building at Discovery and Government streets. It was pro-ducing Lucky Lager in the latter part of the 20th century and its building was demolished in 1982.

As for Steinberger, the British Colonist documents that he mar-ried and kept a farm in Saanich near Elk Lake. That supports a possible theory by Evans – just a guess for now – that Steinberger’s first brewery may have been at Elk Lake, but was mistaken for Swan Lake. Newspapers of the day commonly referred to Elk

Lake as ‘the lake.’ This would make sense

because Elk Lake was next to the more established roadway (now the Pat Bay Highway), and Victo-ria later drew water from Elk Lake by pipe until 1873.

Evans is befuddled by the absence of any photographs of Steinberger, despite his many ventures on record.

“It strikes me as odd we can’t find pictures of this guy,” Evans said. “Why are things so hard to pin down with him?”

Saanich Archives 1985-006-002a, Saanich Pioneer Society Collection

Oast houses, used to dry hops, at Towner farm in North Saanich. There is some evidence to suggest hops were grown in Saanich, but commercial growing occurred early on in Victoria and North Saanich.

Saanich’s claimto brewery fame still a mystery

Did you know?Zoning is one of the hurdles

to establish a modern brewery in Saanich, says Joe Wiebe, Victoria-based author of the Craft Beer Revolution. “A lot of the recent breweries have chosen Rock Bay or Esquimalt because of the zoning,” Wiebe says. “Saanich is such a big municipality, there are bound to be many good location options, perhaps the Vanalman area. It’s a matter of getting the right zoning in the right location.” Wiebe’s 2015 update to the Craft Beer Revolution – a guide to all the breweries in B.C. – added 40 new breweries after

its 2012 first run. The Thirsty Writer, as he’s also known, has visited most B.C. breweries and believes there is still room for producers in the Capital Region. “There’s still tons of room

in the market,” he says. “It’s all about focusing locally now so each region, town or neighbourhood can have its own brewery.”People love to have a place

to walk to fill their growler (two-litre jug), or to stop by on the commute home, he adds. The next brewery planned in Greater Victoria is the West Shore’s Loghouse Brewpub.

Prohibition short-livedn Prohibition in B.C. was enacted from 1917 to 1921, but it gave the Liquor Control Board ample opportunity to set strict controls once the drink flowed freely. Saanich and Esquimalt opened beer parlours in 1925 following 1924 provincial plebiscite to sell beer by the glass. While Saanich and Esquimalt were in favour of the relaxed laws, Vancouver and Victoria were not. The votes were said to be close.

Garden tourson this weekend

The Victoria Conservatory of Music hosts its 33rd annual Mother’s Day Garden Tour this weekend, with nine sites open to viewing, with a background of music.

These pockets of greenery and flowering plants, accented with natural and manmade elements, are spread throughout Greater Victoria, from the national treasure that is Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site in Colwood, to classic Oak Bay and Saanich gardens with contemporary updates.

Adding to the ambiance, students and faculty members from the conservatory will perform at many of the stops on the tour, while other sites will have recorded music playing throughout. As well, master horticulturists will be on hand to answer general and specific questions about gardening.

A perennial favourite, the annual plant sale, will happen

at the Midland Road location on the tour in Oak Bay.

Tour attendees are also invited to stop by the grand finale to the weekend, the Joy of Life concert led by Daniel Lapp at the conservatory’s Alix Goolden Performance Hall, starting at 3 p.m. Sunday. Garden tour tickets allow the holders $10 off the concert ticket price.

The tour runs Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10. Tickets are $30 (children 12-under are free) and may be purchased online and at many locations throughout Greater Victoria. Find more information at vcm.bc.ca/tickets-garden-tour. All proceeds support the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

Fry release setnear Mt. Doug

There will be a release of 35,000 chum fry salmon into the pond behind the Douglas Creek weir on Friday, May 8 at 10:30 a.m.

The fry, sourced from Howard English Hatchery at Goldstream, will be released after a short educational talk by Hatchery expert Peter McCully about importance of chum

salmon for Douglas Creek and wider ecosystem. McCully will also discuss the fry, how long they will remain in the creek and when neighbours can expect to see the fish return after their extensive Pacific Ocean journey.

This event is open to all, particularly young children who can help carry a bucket with fry for the creek.

The best access to the Douglas Creek weir is from Edgemont Rd park entrance or Robinwood entrance.

Police camp-out raises Special Olympics cash


Saanich Police Const. Lisa Bruschetta cheers to a crowd assembled below as she prepares to spend the weekend camping atop scaffolding at Uptown Shopping Centre for Free the Fuzz, a fundraiser for the B.C. Special Olympics. The event raised about $6,500.

About 50 people gathered last Friday to cheer on three police officers who were brave enough to camp out all weekend at Uptown Centre.

Free the Fuzz, part of the Vic-toria Law Enforcement Torch Run, raised about $6,500 for the B.C. Special Olympics over the three-day event.

Saanich Police Const. Lisa Brus-chetta, who organized the event, was joined by fellow police officers Cpl. Pat Bryant of Central Saanich Police Service and Const. Sheri Lucas of Oak Bay Police Depart-

ment, who all camped out in a tent atop scaffolding in Uptown square for two nights.

The Victoria Law Enforcement Torch Run is part of a global move-ment that raises vital funds and awareness for Special Olympics. Since 1990, the B.C. chapter has raised more than $3 million. This year’s Torch Run will take place on June 13, when law enforcement personnel and Special Olympics athletes come together to walk and run for five kilometers along the Galloping Goose Trail.

Re: Saanich kids go wild with nature learning, News, (April 24)

It’s good to hear that kids are being encouraged to play outside in nature the way previous generations did.

But the need for a special program like “Wild to Child” to accomplish this begs the question: Why have kids lost “that exposure, that experience with natural areas” in the first place? Is this because green space is being eaten up by development?

Mr. Webb of Wild to Child says “I see a lot of kids growing up in the city not really having access to (nature)”, and Ms Robinson of HAT says that as a result they don’t value natural ecosystems. Do parents, politicians and policy makers value them?

To “experience natural areas” kids need to access them in their own neighbourhoods under their own steam, which would mean limiting density and preserving gardens and parks. Play should be spontaneous and adult-free, and the “right to a healthy environment” means to an environment of

extensive green space complete with bird habitat and urban wildlife. It’s tragic to think future kids might see these things only on a computer screen.

Local tanker spill would be disastrous

Re: Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower, B.C. Views (April 29)

I think the operative word that eludes Mr. Fletcher’s description of the recent spill and cleanup of oil in English Bay is “preparedness.”

He derides just about everyone who might have a criticism of our current federal government policies regarding the West Coast in general, because disaster after disaster hasn’t piled upon itself like so many shipwrecks on the rocks.

In his own words: “It’s been two years, and nobody has [drowned]”- this in regard to the closing of Kitsilano Coast Guard station.

Likewise, the recent oil spill can be considered a trial run for “the big one” (not the earthquake/tsunami big one), as tanker traffic

is ramped up, even as resources to battle what some people call the inevitable (not Mr. Fletcher though) are reduced. The English Bay fuel spill was 3,000 litres. A supertanker spill could be as much as 300,000 barrels of oil. Are we prepared for that?

From the example of the Exxon Valdez in Prince William Sound, Alaska, which was a 250,000-barrel spill, we are not ready for much more than a ship casually pumping out its ballast.

But, according to Mr. Fletcher, because a catastrophic spill hasn’t happened, it apparently can never happen. The “hysteria” surrounding our wee oil spill is nothing more than shrieking, “the sky is falling, the sky is falling.”

His response to media and public responses over the oil spill, if we apply it to the schools across this province, leads one to argue there is no need for earthquake upgrades because there hasn’t yet been a school that has collapsed from an earthquake.

Be taxed or expect lessGovernment spending is on the rise and it’s

here to stay.Lists and their parameters vary, but most

rankings have Canadians inside the top 10 of the most heavily-taxed residents in the world. Canadians hold health care and education near and dear. We should.

Despite wait times and frustrations, we can anecdotally be proud of our universal health care and education systems. Just don’t call it free.

Health care and education spending rises every year, regardless of which party is in power in Ottawa or Victoria. Technological advances and the accompanying gadgets/miracle machines are more and more expensive to buy every year.

On average, provinces spend approximately 40 per cent of their total budgets on health care. Education funding, as a percentage of provincial budgets, is between 15 to 20 per cent.

That means, conservatively, 60 per cent of the provincial government’s budget is spent on health care and education. And that’s not going to decline soon as the demand on the healthcare system continues to rise due to an aging population.

As those costs rise and eat up more and more of the budget, there will be less money for everything else.

All of this means there is less money for expenditures beyond the basics. The condition of provincial and municipal roadways will become increasingly worse, despite a commitment from the federal government for the first time to create a stable fund for municipal infrastructure projects over the next decade. What can be done other than lower our expectations? The easy answer is to raise taxes.

There are some who believe that more money in the pockets of residents makes for better local economies. But there is a lot of fat that remains to be trimmed from government pet projects – millions of dollars in advertising just one issue that comes to mind here.

Brace yourself. Taxes are either going to have to continue to go up or we are all going to need to expect less from our government.

After the first few glum lines of his speech, it was difficult to tell anything had changed for B.C. Teachers’ Federation president Jim Iker as he took his familiar place before the TV cameras last week.

Iker droned on about how B.C. schools are under-funded by hundreds of millions of dollars, echoing demands from the disastrous strike he led the union membership into last year.

The B.C. Court of Appeal had just overturned a bizarre trial court decision that tried to give the union everything it wanted: a trip back in time to the NDP wonderland of 2001, a constitutional spanking for the B.C. Liberal government and a $2 million bonus of taxpayers’ money.

The BCTF must now pay back that $2 million and scrape up whatever is left of its members’ compulsory dues to plead for an appeal at the Supreme Court of Canada, continuing the executive’s self-righteous fantasy of controlling education spending in B.C.

The appeal court didn’t just overturn the judgment of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin. It shredded her legal reasoning and bluntly corrected her, over and over, on evidence she ignored or misinterpreted.

The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when

Griffin’s second decision came down in early 2014: it was far worse for B.C. schools than when judges decided in 2005 that teachers can bring union

propaganda into classrooms.

Did the government bargain in bad faith? No. Did they conspire to provoke a strike? No. Did they illegally strip working conditions from the teacher contract? No. Turns out our kids are not just “working conditions” for teachers, and public policy still matters.

And it turns out that making special needs assistants dash between classes to deal with two kids here and three over there was a lousy idea. Now there’s even a credit course offered in high school for students with learning difficulties, which probably has some BCTF minion crafting a pile of grievances about segregation.

In the negotiated settlement reached last fall, teachers shared $105 million to make thousands of baseless grievances go away, after the union filed one for student numbers in every class in the province. This bloated perpetual protest machine drains the public purse in more ways than taxpayers realize.

Parents understand the strikes, though. They remember a union that scrapped report

cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time.

The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted.

In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court. Wrong again.

Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it.

Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the union-controlled College of Teachers – onto the scrap heap of history.

There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East.

Christine van ReeuwykBlack Press

Historical documents and artifacts that were “hidden away” for more than a century will soon be public as the

University of Victoria launches its Chinese Canadian Artifacts Project later this year.

The project officially finished its first phase with an announcement at UVic last Thursday.

“Over the years, Chinese-Canadians have made a tremendous contribution to the economic and social development of our province,” said Teresa Wat, Minister

of International Trade and Minister Responsible for the Asia Pacific Strategy and Multiculturalism, who attended the April 30 event.

The project marks

a milestone in the creation of the first computerized inventory of Chinese historical records and artifacts in B.C.

Step one of the pilot project involves the

Cumberland Museum and Archives and the Nanaimo Museum, and will inform the work to establish an online database of artifacts.

The two museums were chosen because of the historically large Chinese populations in those areas. There will be 10 or more museums involved in inventories moving forward with a total of $75,000 allocated for the project.

The inventory contains culturally significant artifacts including Chinese coins, scrolls, photographs and historic texts. One of the most interesting finds is a 90-drawer apothecary chest used by a drugstore owner in Nanaimo’s Chinatown to store ingredients for herbal and mineral treatments in traditional Chinese medicine.

Dr. John Price and Dr. Zhongping Chen of the Department of History at UVic will lead CCAP, in association with Dr. Tusa Shea of the Cultural Resource Management Program.

“We consider this project to be a sacred trust that will allow us, with our partners, to highlight the resilience and contributions of Chinese-Canadian communities and their allies in the past 160 years,” said Price. The project will also create a searchable index of buildings of historical significance to Chinese-

Canadians, he said.Participating

museums start with training workshops next month that focus on Chinese-Canadian/Asian-Canadian history as well as technical dimensions of the database creation.

Throughout the duration of this 10-month research project that started in February, team members will continue to liaise with museums, provide museum training support and supervise student involvement from the Chinese Canadian Artifacts Project.

“This project will highlight the many historical treasures that Chinese-Canadians brought to and contributed to the province over the past 150 years,” said Chen, department of history research director. “Scattered in dozens of smaller towns and cities, they will now be accessible to all British Columbians and become our province’s common heritage. Hopefully more people will donate their precious heirlooms to local museums.”

The project is soliciting expressions of interest from local and regional museums and archives with Chinese-Canadian holdings. For more information, email [email protected].

Sports & Eye InjuriesWith the arrival of spring and summer comes

a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an el-bow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fingernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fly-ball.

Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fist, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye. More severe blunt trauma may cause further damage to important eye structures such as the retina or optic nerve, and can result in vision loss. Penetrating injuries occur when an object pierces the eye. Symptoms include vision loss, bleeding on the surface of the eye and foreign objects imbedded in the eye.

Prompt treatment is the key to preserving your vision. With most eye injuries, it is best to have them immediately examined by an optometrist. An exception would be something sticking into the eye. Leave the object in place and go directly to Emergency.

This summer, when you or your loved ones take to the field, be sure to protect your eyes with ap-propriate sports eyewear. Though they do not com-pletely eliminate the eye injury, they will greatly reduce it.


An exhibit about the resilience and diversity of First Nations lan-guage on display at the Royal BC Museum has won an internationally-recognized award from the American Alliance of Museums (AAM).

Our Living Lan-guages: First Peoples’ Voices in British Colum-bia was selected as one of the winners of the annual Excellence in Exhibition Competition. The exhibit highlights First Nations communi-ties through the prov-ince that are working to help languages survive and flourish in the face of change.

The exhibition was created in partnership with the First Peoples’ Cultural Council, who also supplied all the exhibition content.

It is an interactive exhibit and includes distinct areas where visitors can sit and rest while immersed in audio.

“It was very impor-tant for us to tell the story of B.C.’s 34 First Nations languages from the perspective of First Nations people,” said Tracey Herbert, execu-tive director of the First Peoples’ Cultural Coun-cil.

“By consulting with First Nations commu-

nity experts to develop design, story layout and content for the exhi-bition, we were able to capture the beauty of our languages and draw attention to many amazing community-based language revital-ization efforts.”

It was one of only four entries to win the award this year after 37 were submitted from around the world.

“This award cele-brates the spirit of col-laboration and mutual respect that drove this exhibition’s planning, development and ongo-ing programming,” said Jack Lohman, Royal BC Museum CEO.

“It has set the bar high for our future fea-ture exhibitions, which must also connect with visitors emotion-ally and intellectually through rich context, innovative technology and creative talent.”

The exhibit opened on National Aboriginal Day last year and will be on display until June 2017 on the third floor of the museum.

Past award winners include the Philadel-phia Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the Chicago His-tory Museum.

A bit of shredding can go a long way.

The Better Business

Bureau proved just that last Friday with its fifth annual community

shredding event at Tillicum Centre to benefit the Rainbow Kitchen.

The event attracted hundreds of people with boxes full of bank statements and other confidential documents.

“We’ve had a line-up since we opened and the cars won’t stop coming,” said Rosalind Scott, executive director of the Better Business Bureau Vancouver Island chapter.

The by-donation event benefitted the volunteer-run Rainbow Kitchen, which provides 38,000 meals each year to people in need at 500 Admirals Rd. in Esquimalt.

“BBB are fabulous partners, we’re so fortunate to have them partner with us,” said Jeff Dubney, Rainbow Kitchen co-ordinator and volunteer, who was fast at work directing cars at the shredding event.

Scott said BBB’s objective is to make everyone safe, and shredding confidential documents fits that mandate.

While BBB doesn’t track the number of people who use shredding services each year, they do track the weight of paper that they’ve shredded.

Scott expected to put through 1,500 filing boxes – or 10,000 pounds – of documents

during a four-hour period using the shredding truck, generously provided by Access Records and Media Management.

Dubney said Rainbow Kitchen relies on a small army of 120 volunteers to help deliver services, but they’re always looking for more help. Between 120 and 135 people rely on the kitchen daily, he said.

“Between 20 to 40 people will bring home food as well,” Dubney said. “These are people who cannot afford to feed themselves.”

The Victoria Rainbow Kitchen Society will be holding its annual general meeting in June to vote in new board members, and Dubney welcomes nominees from all parts of the community.

“We’re always looking for new people to step up to the plate,” he said. “We’re hungry for their support.”

The Rainbow Kitchen has one paid staff member and no

paid

administrators or fundraisers. Its $78,000 in annual funding is provided by private individuals, corporations, the Rotary Club of Victoria and other organizations.

Financial donations to Rainbow Kitchen can also be made

online through

victoriarainbowkitchen.ca or by calling [email protected]

Bob Clarke has cap-tured a visual history of the gardens at the Hor-ticultural Centre of the Pacific with an insider’s perspective, but he hopes plenty of outsid-ers see it.

Clarke has arranged a dozen billboards with photos old and new, and with hand-typed histo-ries. They’re on display everyday this week, until Saturday (May 9), in the HCP pavilion, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

“The original plans for HCP were grandiose with an entry way off of Interurban that would wind up the hill, and with a great building to greet people, but the eco-nomic recession of 1981 changed all that,” Clarke said.

The 83-year-old brought about $2,500 worth of funds and a truck full of motiva-tion when he told HCP co-founder and former president Bill Kempster that he wanted to install a new Japanese garden on the grounds.

“Coming in with money made it easy for (the HCP) to say yes,” Clarke recalled.

He started the Japa-nese garden around 1990 and has curated it ever since. During that time, it’s remained self-sufficient, thanks in part to his own fundraising and the efforts of his volunteers, one who has put as much as $25,000

of his own m o n e y into the gardens,

Clarke said.“There are a lot of tales

to tell about this place, a lot of hard work that’s gone into it,” he added.

The idea for the his-tory boards, which stand about four feet wide and four feet tall, came from their discovery.

“The (HCP) carpenter

made them and I uncov-ered them in storage, I never knew they existed.”

Upon seeing them, Clarke’s skill as a profes-sional sign-maker took hold.

“The first time I ever came here was to sell Kempster a wood-carved sign that still exists here,”

Clarke said. “This has been a fun collaboration people should come and see. I’ll have to return a lot of the photos as they’re from personal collections, so I’m not sure when we’ll have it out again.”

Longtime Horticultural Gardens of the Pacific volunteer Bob Clarke displays 12 boards charting the history of Glendale Gardens and the HCP, as well as the Japanese Gardens. Clarke helped create the Japanese ornamental gardens in the early 1990s and remains a willing curator today. The history boards are on display in HCP’s pavilion until May 9.

Members of the Cadboro Bay Residents Association and Cadboro Bay Village Business Improvement Association recently met at Goward House to share ideas about the future of Caddy Bay village.

The meeting was well attended and opinions flew fast and frequent, said CBRA president Eric Dahli. The evening was moderated by Monday Magazine founder Gene Miller of New Landmarks.

“Topics that came up were safe pedestrian movement around the village, village beautification, and the possible expansion of the village,” said Dahli, currently in his second

term as president seven years after his first one. Expansion is a tricky one for the tight knit community

which boasts its share of NIMBYs, he said. “If there’s expansion then in what direction, up the hill?

down the hill?,” Dahli asked. “The consensus seems to think we’re better served to go up the hill. But there’s still a lot of questions.”

Among those questions is the ‘F word,’ which reared its head at the meeting, though ‘franchises’ have already invaded the village and the strong patronage of Starbucks, chief among them, is irrefutable.

“There was a lot of great ideas, a lot of great minds, and we took down that information with a goal to present it at the CBRA annual general meeting on May 13 at the Cad-boro Bay United Church,” Dahli said.

“What we’d really like to do is update Saanich’s local area plan for Cadboro Bay by including these ideas. Saanich is on notice we want it renewed. Fifteen years ago if someone told me there’d be a smoothie bar, Thai and sushi restau-rants, I would have said, ‘Where’s the overdone roast beef?”

Village visionaries seek updated plan


Having fallen short in the Jackson Cup Vancouver Island Soccer League Div. 1 championship game on Sunday, the Saanich Fusion are happily entering the provincial senior men’s A Cup soccer championships as underdogs.

Cowichan FC squeaked out a 4-3 win to edge the Fusion in the centennial Jackson Cup game at Royal Athletic Park. With 1,038 fans, it was a record turnout for modern-day senior men’s soccer on the Island, part of a weekend of VISL and Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association trophy matches.

The Fusion entered the weekend head-liner at Royal Athletic Park as the defending 2014 Island champs but were by no means the favourite, having rejigged the roster with just seven returning players from the 2014 winning team.

Among those departed players are VISL offensive threats Cooper Barry and Pat Nelson, who joined perennial powerhouse Cowichan FC. Barry scored in the final, and

Nelson set up the winner, as the duo enjoyed back-to-back Jackson Cup vic-tories.

“It wasn’t on a bad note, they left on good terms,” said Fusion co-coach Steph Steiner. “They just wanted to try something different, they had friends there and we held no ill will towards them.”

Returning to the Fusion from last year were Cardin Davis, who scored the club’s first goal on Sunday, with Connor McMana-man, Gord Elliot, Josh Menzies, Brian Tay-lor, Angus Hayman and captain Leo Falzon, last year’s VISL Div. 1 rookie of the year.

“Because of the retooling and season we had, I am just as proud of our club this year, even more-so, perhaps, than when we won the (VISL) and the Jackson Cup champion-ship last year,” Steiner said.

Fusion centre back Chris Peereboom was named the Jackson Cup MVP despite being on the loser’s side as he headed in two of his team’s goals.

“Peereboom is one of our centre pieces, he really just has amazing will and drive, and fantastic passion for our club,” Steiner said.

The season tested the depth of Saanich Fusion’s program, as the Div. 1 team pro-moted six of it’s play-

ers from Div. 2, including Peerebrom, as 13 of its 20

players came through the Fusion’s youth system.“You don’t get that very

often and we’re very proud,” Steiner said.

It didn’t look good during training back in August, Steiner added, but by September it was a different story. The Fusion won its first three games handily and then drew its next two versus Gorge and Bays Utd.

By season’s end the Fusion were 10-5-3 with 33 points, third overall behind Cowichan (12-3-3) and Vic West (11-5-2).

The A Cup provincial draw was Monday night and starts April 18-19 (will be posted at VISL.org).

Going into last year’s provincials as the Island champs drew a lot of attention and the Fusion were knocked out in the first round by the perennial powerhouse Coquitlam Metro Ford Wolves.

This year, Steiner’s hoping they can sur-prise some teams.

“We’re going into provincials thinking this is a bonus round for us,” Steiner said. “We want to continue growing as a new group, moving forward together and learning from every game we play, and we’re hopeful to win a few rounds, our players work hard and believe in each other.”

The Island has five berths (up from four) in the 2015 senior men’s A Cup provincials, with Cowichan FC, Vic West, Bays Utd., and Nanaimo joining Saanich. Prospect Lake enters the A Cup women’s provincials with the Vic Athletics.

Gorge FC won the Over-35 Tony Grover men’s championship on Sunday in a penalty shootout over the Saanich Fusion (over-35).

Prospect Lake won the LIWSA premier leauge Terry Price Cup over Vic Athletics and Gorge FC won this year’s Doug Day Cup 1-0 in overtime versus Juan De Fuca.

Among the most popular events at the Victoria Highland Games and Celtic Festival are the caber flip, the hammer toss and the whisky tasting.

The latter is not always synonymous with the annual weekend event, which happens May 15 to 17 at Topaz Park. But the Whisky Tasting School is a lock to sell out early. There are eight different sessions of Whisky Tasting School this year, and registration is open now.

“It’s perfect for new drinkers to get a feel for the different styles of whiskies and for others to experience whisky they haven’t had before,” said Calgary-based Roberto Roberti, who started Bar-rica Wine and Spirits and represents a variety of whiskies.

Roberti has led classes twice before at the Games as well as a Grand Masters Class at the Victoria Whisky Festival, which takes place each January in downtown Victoria.

Roberti will lead A Trip Across Scotland at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. The tasting will provide an opportunity for guests to nail down the geo-graphical and historical whisky map of Scotland.

“We’ll sample one or two whiskies from each region: Islay, Speyside, Highlands, Campbelltown and Orkney, to study the different profiles.”

His other class is a history on Tullibardine (3:30 p.m. Saturday), which started in the 1300s and provided beers to King James IV in 1488. Tullibar-dine produces Highland single malt whiskies.

“When the modern-day distillery opened in 1948, it was on the same site as the historic brew-ery. Because it served beer to King James, it is able to bear the royal symbol on its bottles,” Roberti said.

Registration is $35 for all sessions except Mon-

day’s Whisky and Chocolate, which is $45. All reg-istrations include a day’s gate pass to the High-land Games, worth $15, through victoriahighland-games.com/whisky-school.

Velox women into B.C. rugby final

The Velox Valkyries sparkled in their final match at the Velox Rugby Club’s Gor-don Head clubhouse as they eliminated Capilano RFC 72-14. The Valkyries will now face Burnaby Lake RFC in the B.C. Rugby Union’s premier women rugby provin-cial final at North Van-couver’s Klahanie park on Saturday, May 9.

Velox will perma-nently relocate to Juan de Fuca Rec. for Sep-tember.

Burnaby defeated Seattle 42-8 in the other semifinal.

Following the Valkyries win Velox’s Div. 3 men hosted Capilano in a provin-cial semifinal, winning 39-17. Velox will play Kelowna in the Div. 3A men’s B.C. final, also at Klahanie Park.

The festival style day of rugby at Klah-anie features the UVic Vikes and the UBC Thunderbirds in an all-varsity CDI Premier League Rounsefell Cup final. The Vikes men are in the Div. 1 men’s final vs. Burn-aby Lake.

See Saanich News’ Friday issue for full coverage on the end of Velox rugby in Saa-nich.

SAANICHSPORTSIN BRIEF

Travis Paterson/News staff

Canadian national player Barbara Mervin is raised in a lineout, top left, in Velox’s 72-14 win over Capilano on Saturday.

Fusion cooled in playoffsThe Saanich Fusion Old School men’s mas-

ters soccer team (over 35) came within a win of reaching the B.C. cup final in a 5-1 loss to Van-couver Croatia over the weekend.

The match was tied 1-1 at halftime but the experience and depth of the Vancouver Croa-tia side showed in the second half, as Croatia scored four straight goals.

“It was a great learning experience for the team as they start to show better results in the Masters category,” said Vancouver Island Soc-cer League president Vince Greco.

In the U-21 semifinal the Victoria Highlanders fell 1-0 to Surrey United.

The Highlanders had their chances, includ-ing a series of late attacks but left too many chances squandered, ending an otherwise good year, Greco said.

National team swim coach Randy Bennett succumbed to cancer on Monday night.

The 51-year-old was coach of Canada’s top senior national teams at every major international competition since 2009, including the 2012 Olympic Games. He was the head coach of the High Perfor-mance Centre in Victoria since 2008, based out of Saanich Commonwealth Place. From there he led local Olympians Hilary Caldwell, Alec Page and Ryan Cochrane to name a few.

“We’ve lost a mentor, a visionary and a friend,” Cochrane said. “Randy’s abil-ity to fight for what was right is a tenet we must all continue to uphold. Coach-ing was his passion and his life, and I know he has

had a profound impact on my life both in and out of sport. I would not be the athlete or person I am today without him. The values and imagi-nation Randy instilled in all of his athletes will live on.”

Bennett suffered from a malignant melanoma, only recently diagnosed, and fought it with the same tenac-ity with which he coached, said national team physician Steve Kee-ler, who acted as Bennett’s primary physician throughout the situation.

“Despite the rapid progression of his disease (Bennett) remained focused on his family and the ath-letes he coached. His strength through this journey was impres-sive,” Keeler said.

Bennett is survived by his wife Lesley and two teenage sons, Brett and Kyle.

Greater Victorians have shown time and again that when someone is in need, their outpouring of support is unbeatable.

The local community is rallying for the daughter of Black Press inside sales supervisor Patty Doering, who is awaiting a liver transplant.

Cindy Hoffman, 42, is battling Silent Liver Disease and NAFLD (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease), a rare, life-threatening form of liver disease and is on the Canada-wide waitlist for a transplant.

A rare blood type and the fact that she requires an entire liver, not a partial donation, makes things more

challenging, but Hoffman is rising to it, with a positive outlook and a commitment to make a difference through her experience.

“All I care about each day

is waking up happy. It’s about me saying I am sick, but I can do whatever I want,” Hoffman said from her home in Cranbrook. “No matter what sickness you have, don’t let it get you down and don’t let it ruin your life. People need to stop listening to the background noise.”

Encouraged by those she has inspired, Hoffman is launching a blog where she’ll reflect on her experiences as she waits for a suitable liver.

Once a liver becomes available, Hoffman will need to travel to Edmonton for the surgery and have someone there with her for three months following. The

fundraising will help support those costs that aren’t covered by the medical system.

Black Press staff in Greater Victoria are undertaking a series of fundraisers to assist the family with these expenses, and Black Press is generously matching all the funds raised by staff.

Coming up, the community is invited to a fundraising barbecue May 9 at Country Grocer Esquimalt, where from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Country Grocer’s chef Michael Williams will be cooking up burgers in support of the Hoffman/Doering family.

Country Grocer has generously donated all the food for the

fundraiser, where an expertly grilled burger with all the fixings and a drink can be had for just $5.

“When Penny (Sakamoto, Black Press group publisher) called me about Patty and her daughter’s situation, I knew we had to help,” says Tammy Averill, Country Grocer marketing manager.

“Patty works with us on our Friends & Family magazine and helps make it the great publication it is. Also, Black Press has been very supportive of our causes and events over the years so it’s nice to be able to give back.”

“Did you know our proposed expansion follows the existing route for most of the way?”

Committed to safety since 1953.

OF THE ROUTE IS ON THE EXISTING RIGHT-OF-WAY.73%

17%

The proposed Trans Mountain Expansion follows the existing

route or other linear infrastructure for 90% of the way.

That means less than 100 kms needs to be moved to undisturbed

lands. These reroutes will be made to improve safety and address

environmental considerations, and will accommodate changes

in land usage since the pipeline was originally built in 1953.

We’ve been talking with the public, stakeholders, landowners

and Aboriginal communities along the proposed corridor to hear

their concerns. We expect you will ask questions. We’ve made

adjustments in many places to address the concerns we’ve heard.

Our intention in all of our planning is to minimize the impact on

residents, communities and the environment, while ensuring that

safe construction and operations are possible.

Greater Victoria’s growing arts reputation is being put on show by the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria this week.

The juried exhibition at The Atrium (800 Yates St., Victoria) is intended to inaugurate an annual celebration of the region’s creative community.

Art Victoria Now kicks off with a free opening reception May 7 from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at The Atrium and the

exhibition runs to May 10. The organizing committee

poured over 600 submissions from artists residing in Greater Victoria.

The challenging task of choosing the works, submitted anonymously, was mostly an online process. The outcome is a diverse selection of approximately 100 pieces including paintings, three-dimensional constructions, sculpture and photography.

“Our four jurors, all well-known experts with deep roots in Victoria’s creative community, have chosen some very exciting art with definite stand-out pieces by artists such as Martin Batchelor, Roy Green, Richard Hunt, Grant Watson and many others,” says Stephanie Eisenbraun, CACGV art co-ordinator.

Jurors include Elaine Monds (Alcheringa Gallery), Michael Warren (Madrona

Gallery), Shawn Shepherd (Polychrome Gallery) and Peter Such (Victoria College of Art).

“We hope this inaugural Art Victoria Now open show will demonstrate to the art-loving public, to collectors and to international visitors that the Capital Region’s art scene is diverse, significant, authentic and truly ours,” says Such, who is also a CACGV board director.
