Siblings Stephen and Theresa McKenzie in front of 1,000 flowers that Stephen placed on Theresa’s lawn to welcome her home from hospital.

Operation Daffodil brings joy overnight Brother shows support with 1,000 flowers in bloom for sister recovering from cancer Natalie North News staff

At 6 a.m. last Sunday, Theresa McKenzie woke in pain.

Just three days post-surgery for colorectal cancer, she was urged by her partner to get up anyway and head downstairs.

Through her living room window, the 40-year-old nurse saw 1,000 daffodils planted in her front yard.

“It was pure beauty,” Theresa said. “Instant love.”

She took her tea outside to enjoy the flowers and didn’t question for long who had left her such a gift.

“I (thought) ‘this has to be my brother’ because he’s such a cool guy,” she said.

She was right.

At 4:30 that morning, her brother, Stephen McKenzie, led the mission he dubbed “Operation Daffodil.”

Under the cover of darkness, Stephen and his team of eight had filled the lawn of his sister’s Tuxedo Road home with blooming daffodils.

“We reviewed the mission at 4 a.m. and we executed it in about 45 minutes,” Stephen said. “She figured out very quickly who the culprit was.”

The daffodils attracted neighbourhood attention and were “the perfect fit” given that April was cancer awareness month, Theresa said. The flowers also hold special

significance for the siblings, who grew up next door to a former daffodil farm in Cordova Bay. “I just wanted her to know that there is a group of people out there who love and support her,” Stephen said.

The McKenzies’ cousin, Heather Vantreight, supplied the daffodils from her family’s Vantreight Farms, which was instrumental in using daffodils to raise funds for the Canadian Cancer Society.

“My dad (Geoff Vantreight), who passed away of cancer 12 years ago, would have loved this Operation Daffodil,” Vantreight said. “It’s neat for me to see people’s passion for others.”

“I never expected anything like that,” Theresa said. “It was an amazing thing to look out there, to feel the love and the strength. It’s just pure beauty. Pretty special.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Selling Victoria on the big screen Location manager turned film commissioner reveals tricks of the trade to attract productions

Most shot location around town

Register your home as a location The commission relies on residents registering their homes – from Uplands mansions to apartment suites – in its locations database. The homes of young families, most often character houses in Victoria’s Fairfield or Fernwood neighbourhoods, account for about 60 per cent of the locations used. For more information on how to register your home, visit filmvictoria.com.

Cutting costs B.C. Ferries has agreed to a 10-per-cent discount for film industry trucks, which generally come with a ferry fare of about $25,000 per production. The commission has also been in talks with the City of Victoria to reduce the parking rates, bills that Gilbert has seen as high as $50,000 in her time as a location manager.

Cost of the commission The Vancouver Island South Film and Media Commission set a budget of $174,298 for 2012. Municipal grant funding won’t be confirmed until budgets are due later in the spring. In 2010, the commission received $42,246 in provincial grants and contributions, as well as $88,400 in grants from area municipalities. This spring the commission asked for $3,000 from Oak Bay, $35,700 from Saanich, $1,000 from Esquimalt and $45,000 from the City of Victoria.

“(Productions) have been going everywhere but here and it’s caused a lot of grief for a lot of us,” Coultish said. “Six per cent on a few million dollars is huge. … If that went away I think we would see this industry flourish again really quickly. (Crews) love shooting here, but they’re going to go where they can save money. … It’s been rough. That’s for sure.”

After a flurry of film activity in the fall and a bit of a winter lull, the outlook for summer productions is positive, Coultish said. It’s a hope Gilbert is working hard to realize, one pitch at a time.

“Fingers crossed,” she said. “Maybe David Cronenberg will be shooting here sometime in the near future.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

ohn Hunter, the Scot said to be the founder of scientific surgery and the inspiration behind Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, spent his days collecting specimens and his nights robbing graves in 18th-century London. But the setting itself could be 21st-century Victoria – at least when it comes to filmmaking.

When Greater Victoria film commissioner Kathleen Gilbert heard the rumour director David Cronenberg plans to adapt a book on Hunter’s life for television, the first thing she did, like any good researcher, was turn to the Internet. “(I) went on Google Street View and drove down the streets of London and Scotland,” she said.

Gilbert found where Hunter had lived, collected images of the towns and then matched them to comparable sites around Greater Victoria. She packaged them together for Cronenberg in hopes of enticing Knifeman producers to locations in the Capital Region.

“We’re proactive,” said Gilbert, who was a location manager for 20 years prior to taking on her current role in 2010. “I don’t just sit here and wait for the phone to ring.”

If all goes as planned, Cronenberg’s team will appreciate the effort that went into Gilbert’s pitch. It worked for the producers of Strange Magic, last year’s TV movie on the life of English writer J.K. Rowling, which used local locations, including Bastion Square, to substitute for the Queen’s country.

“You don’t need to travel to Europe to shoot Europe.

Europe is a two-hour flight from L.A.,” Gilbert said.

It’s a line used by the lone, full-time employee of the Vancouver Island South Film and Media Commission to lure prospective U.S. filmmakers to Victoria-area locales.

Since The Crimson Paradise was filmed at Hatley Castle in 1933, Royal Roads University continues to be the region’s most shot location.

“We’re happy to welcome film production crews, happy to showcase the national historic site,” said Doug Ozeroff, spokesperson for the university. “I can see why it’s been so popular. … Hatley Castle: that’s the money shot.”

While Royal Roads’ mandate is to maintain educational standards for students, the productions are welcomed, Ozeroff added. Crews are all self-contained and, in most cases, leave without leaving a trace of their shoot, he said.

MPs react to Harper’s first year Kyle Slavin News staff

A year ago this week, Canadians headed to the polls to elect Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s first majority government since 2004.

And while Capital Region residents don’t have any of the ruling Conservatives representing them in Ottawa, the politicians who were elected said they’ve still managed to get things done for their ridings.

“It’s obviously been challenging, with a Conservative majority, but we’ve been able to do things like get funding for the E&N (Railway) – so it proves that not everything is impossible,” said NDP MP Randall Garrison, who represents Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca.

Garrison, serving his first term in Ottawa, said the year since election day has been “tumultuous” for his party, “with the high of the NDP becoming the official opposition, to the low of losing (leader) Jack Layton.”

Saanich-Gulf Islands MP Elizabeth May, who made history one year ago by becoming the first Green party member elected in Canada, said the year has been eye-opening and productive.

“I feel my team here in Sidney has been providing quite excellent levels of service for people dealing with immigration issues and tax issues, and the pension problems. We work very hard, and we have resolved a lot of issues for a lot of people,” she said. “But in Savoie: some ways it’s harder emotionNot bad ally than I anticipated. You get so caught up in people’s lives. Quite often they’re going through hell from some level of government and they’re coming to you in desperation.”

In Ottawa, partisan politics is the biggest obstacle to making the kind of progress Canadians expect from their elected officials. “There’s much

less scope for individual action than I expected.”

Both May and Garrison have been able to introduce private members bills since being elected.

The region’s most veteran MP, the NDP’s Denise Savoie, has represented Victoria since 2006. For her, the past year hasn’t had much of a silver lining.

“I think our peoMay: ple have a less secure future,” she Eye-opening said. “The direction that (the Conservative government is) taking Canada, I’m clearly uncomfortable with. … I think this year has not been a good year to get the region’s agenda heard in Ottawa.”

Pointing to funding for light-rail transit in the Capital Region, Savoie said the discussion is “not very present in the government’s mind.”

Savoie called the current government makeup a “private-interest government,” where oil and state are “one entity” when there should be just as much separation as between church and state.

“I think what’s been lost by this government is that government represents public interest,” she said.

Garrison said the next year in government will likely be focused on the ramifications of this year’s budget.

Savoie: “We’re finding out every day, Not good more and more things that have been eliminated that effect the services which are provided to Canadians,” he said. “They said they were eliminating waste, and now the cuts are down to the barebones so much that services are disappearing.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

The former tenant of a downtown Victoria hotel where a non-hazardous cocktail of liquid chemicals was left in a suite won’t face criminal charges, says Victoria’s fire chief.

“We ran all our tests on it and everything came back negative,” Chief Jeff Lambert said.

It’s not clear what chemicals were poured into the sink of a room on the third floor of the Ritz Hotel, Lambert said, “It’s just bizarre, some of the stuff.”

The manager of the hotel, at 710 Fort St., went in around 10 a.m., Monday, to clean the room, which had been vacated by the evicted tenant. While attempting to wipe up the chemical brew, the man’s nose and throat became irritated.

Victoria firefighters responded to the scene around 1:45 p.m., then called in the Capital Regional District Hazardous

“We have these (hazmat services) because people don’t understand that.

You pull your bathroom cleaners out and mix those puppies together – it could gas you.”

– Victoria Fire Chief Jeff Lambert Materials Response Unit.

When police officers questioned the former tenant about the substance, “he gave them the information that led us to believe that it was not just a normal situation, and that the potential could be a lot worse,” Lambert said.

“So that’s how we treated it.

He said enough to really make us unsure about what we were getting into.”

The man was taken to hospital for a mental health assessment. It’s unlikely that he will be charged in connection with the incident, the fire chief said.

As firefighters raced in from across the region to put their

hazmat training to work, Fort Street between Douglas and Blanshard Streets was closed to traffic.

The Victoria Emergency Management Agency evacuated the 100-unit hotel and tenants were sheltered on parked B.C. Transit buses nearby for about two hours.

Hazmat technicians suited up, entered the hotel room and tested the chemicals. Fort Street was opened and tenants allowed to return to their rooms around 5:30 p.m.

Though the substance proved to be non-hazardous, the hotel manager was right to call in emergency personnel.

“The one thing that I’m reading and listening to a lot (in the media) is, ‘Oh, it was only household stuff,’” Lambert said. “The reality of it is, I can take chlorine bleach (for example) and mix it with a lot of other stuff, and it is not just household stuff anymore.”

“We have these (hazmat services) because people don’t understand that,” he said.

“You pull your bathroom cleaners out and mix those puppies together – it could gas you.” emccracken@vicnews.com

Cut-off customer gets belligerent Drunken robber arrested after threatening to pull gun on liquor store clerk A young Saanich man threatened a liquor store clerk with a gun Saturday night after she refused to sell him Swedish vodka because she suspected he was intoxicated.

The 20-year-old man purchased alcohol from Metro Liquor in Tuscany Village early in the evening Saturday. He returned a few hours later, slurring his words and “not steady on his feet,” police say.

When he tried to purchase a bottle of vodka, the clerk denied him service. Under the Liquor Control and Licensing Act, a person “must not sell or give liquor to an intoxicated person or a person

apparently under the influence of liquor.”

The man became frustrated and attempted to negotiate with the clerk for a few minutes.

When that proved unsuccessful, he put his hand in the back of his pants, and threatened the clerk with a gun if she didn’t sell him his booze of choice.

No weapon was ever produced.

The clerk once again refused and the upset man grabbed a bottle of vodka, knocking another onto the floor. He tossed some money on the ground and fled.

Saanich police were called and began searching for the man.

While an officer was speaking with the clerk and getting a description of the suspect, the officer spotted the suspect walking just outside the store.

The patrol officer arrested the 20-year-old, who now faces one count of robbery. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Passion breeds business success Brittany Lee News staff

To run a successful business, simply love what you do. That’s according to Daisy Leslie, co-owner of the Root Cellar Village Green Grocer on McKenzie Ave. Leslie, along with her husband Adam Orser, and business partner Phil Lasreniere won the Business Development Bank of Canada Young Entrepreneur Award in 2009.

Winning the award, and funding it provided, gave them the confidence boost they needed as a new business, and reinforced their love for the business, Leslie said. “It gave us more courage to take risks in the business.�

Since winning the award and becoming more recognized in the community, the pressure to keep up with customers’ standards increased. “We’ve become known as a business that operates with integrity, and with people as a high priority. So there’s almost sort of a pressure to lead by example,� she said.

The Root Cellar has not only grown in staffing (from eight in 2008 to 55 now), but it’s also grown in sales.

Correction Notice On Wednesday May 2, 2012 Tru Value Foods had an error in their weekly ad.

Sunrise Farms: Boneless & Skinless Chicken Breasts $4.99 per pound/ 11.00 per Kg. should have read Boneless & Skinless Chicken Thighs $4.99 per pound/ 11.00 per Kg. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused to our customers.

Eamon Bayat sorts fresh carrots at the Root Cellar, located on the corner of Blenkinsop Road and McKenzie Avenue. “As we’re well-embraced, it’s just extra fuel for that fire because (our business is) working, and people are getting excited and awareness is growing,� Leslie said. “The amount of local product we’re

selling now compared to five years ago just tells us that people are listening.�

Entrepreneurs under the age of 35 have until Sunday (May 6) to enter this year’s BDC Young Entrepreneur Award.

This year’s contest includes a grand prize of $100,000 for innovation and $25,000 to a runner-up.

Rick Hansen participates in a ceremony with the Esquimalt Singers and Dancers, including Teddy Samson Sr., left, and Michael Samson at Ogden Point.

Hero recognizes ‘difference makers’ Rick Hansen’s 25th anniversary Man In Motion relay visits Greater Victoria Erin McCracken News staff

Though Rick Hansen considers Virginia Lecoy and Gordon Modeste heroes, Esquimalt Nation residents shy away from that description.

Still, they epitomize the power of helping others overcome obstacles to make dreams come true – a quality Hansen applauded during a visit to Ogden Point on Tuesday.

As part of the 25th anniversary of the Man In Motion World Tour, during which Hansen and his team raised funds for and awareness about spinal cord research, the national Rick Hansen Relay visited CFB Esquimalt, Ogden Point and the legislature on Tuesday, and Oak Bay on Wednesday.

During his visit, Hansen presented Difference Maker medals to several individuals he said have helped make the world more accessible and inclusive and are supporting efforts to find a cure for patients with spinal cord injuries.

Hansen, who lost the use of his legs at 15 after he was thrown from the back of a pickup truck that crashed, said he has been pleasantly surprised by the stories of people, especially youth, who are making a difference.

“What it makes me realize is that a whole new generation (is) being nurtured in that sense of responsibility, and that this generation is very compassionate, caring and capable and they work locally, nationally and globally,” the Richmond resident said. “And that makes you proud to be Canadian.”

Lecoy, 24, and Modeste, 70, wore their medals proudly.

Dentures so real!

• Las dentaduras tan real • 假牙如此真ᙿ • Complete Denture and Partial Service

As an education administrator at Esquimalt Nation, Lecoy runs camps, a breakfast program and helps youth reach their potential in school.

Her work has allowed her to better connect with her community and her family, she said. “The kids have taught me to be cool again,” Lecoy said.

Modeste, 70, is an Esquimalt Nation elder and business owner who sponsors youth team sports.

“Elders in our community basically assume that role (of hero), they don’t have to be told to do it,” he said. “Young people look to us for guidance and direction.”

Other medal recipients from the region included Petty Officer 1st class Cliff Rose, who helps injured personnel at CFB Esquimalt access services to further their recovery, and Saanich teen Jeneece Edroff, who has raised more than $8 million for special projects, including Jeneece Place.

With Dunsmuir middle school students looking on at Ogden Point, Jaxson Creasey also received a medal. The Metchosin resident, with the help of his school, has raised more than $13,000 for Canuck House in Vancouver, which provides pediatric palliative care. Since the relay began in Newfoundland and Labrador last August, the event has allowed Hansen to recognize those who have helped further his dream of finding a cure for recovery from spinal cord injury.

“This is a tour of gratitude and then (of) inspiration for the future, because we still have a long way to go,” he said.

The relay will have passed through 600 communities across Canada by the time it ends in Vancouver May 22. Visit www.rickhansenrelay.com for details. emccracken@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Civil forfeiture muddies message A message needs to be sent that it is not OK to drive so dangerously that you create a very real risk to the lives of innocent people. And it’s morally indefensible to celebrate such an act of stupidity by posting a video of it to the Internet.

But the punishment must fit the crime.

We can all agree that the motorcyclist who on April 6 video-recorded himself or herself travelling at speeds of 300 km/h down a busy highway showed the judgement of a moron.

However, no matter how emphatic that point needs to be made, confiscating the bike and selling it to raise revenue for the government is the wrong thing to do in this case.

Unable to arrest the young man suspected of riding the bike in the video, the police have turned to the Civil Forfeiture Act to try and punish the perpetrator and, perhaps, turn the incident into a teachable moment. Don’t try this at home or we’ll take your wheels – a similar campaign has been waged against the dangers of street racing in recent years.

The difference is that the public has not heard enough evidence to merit having the police take away the personal property of an Esquimalt mom (her son is believed to be the rider in the video).

Police have every right to seize the bike in case it can be used to actually press charges.

Dangerous driving is a serious offence punishable by jail time. If that can’t be proved unless the rider confesses, we understand why police would want to send a message that you can’t commit such a high-profile crime and get away scot-free.

But rather than attempting civil forfeiture, which is more justly applied to the proceeds of criminal activity, the police could better serve their public by ensuring this rider, and other potential daredevils, learn about the very real consequences of very bad decisions.

Driving at speeds shown in the video create a probability of massive injuries and possibly death to the rider, as well the dozens of innocent people sharing the road. That is the message that must be imparted.

After all, the goal is to keep young drivers from taking exceptional risks not merely to keep them from posting to YouTube after they do.

Heroism resonates with Hansen hero – 1. a person distinguished by courage, noble deeds, outstanding accomplishments, etc. (i.e. Terry Fox became a national hero) - source, Canadian Oxford dictionary

Truth is, we have many types of hero in our society, and they serve a valuable purpose, each for different reasons. The dictionary definition allows for a fairly broad interpretation.

to put others before himself, by spearheading further fundraising efforts and channelling people’s energy for the greater good, much like he did during the original Man in Motion world tour.

Hansen was in Greater Victoria this week, as part of his Rick Hansen Relay cross-Canada tour. While some of the folks who received his special Difference Maker awards in Victoria, Esquimalt and Oak Bay weren’t born at the time of the original Man in Motion, all were no doubt thrilled to be recognized by someone whose light shines in the same way Terry Fox’s did three decades ago.

Hansen, never known to turn down an interview or an opportunity to give an autograph to someone who he thinks it might make a difference for, is the ultimate diplomat for what it means to be Canadian, and what it means to overcome a potentially devastating disability.

He understands, at 54, that his role has changed from those days when his ripped upper body pounded through kilometre after kilometre.

As a man who exudes grace and class as he extends his hands to help, he is definitely a good example of a true Canadian hero.

OPINION

The fundamental failure of environmentalism Environmentalism has failed.

Over the past 50 years, environmentalists have succeeded in raising awareness, changing logging practices, stopping megadams and offshore drilling, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

But we were so focused on battling opponents and seeking David public support that we failed to realize these battles reflect fundamentally different ways of seeing our place in the world.

And it is our deep underlying worldview that determines the way we treat our surroundings.

We have not, as a species, come to grips with the explosive events that have changed our relationship with the planet.

For most of human existence, we lived as nomadic huntergatherers whose impact on nature could be absorbed by the resilience of the biosphere. Even after the agricultural revolution 10,000 years ago, farming continued to dominate our lives.

We cared for nature. People who

live close to the land understand that seasons, climate, weather, pollinating insects and plants are critical to our well-being.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the birth of the environmental movement.

In 1962, Rachel Carson published Silent Spring, which Suzuki documented the terrible, unanticipated consequences of what had, until then, been considered one of science’s great inventions, DDT. Paul Mueller, who demonstrated the effects of the pesticide, was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1948. In the economic boom after the Second World War, technology held out the promise of unending innovation, progress, and prosperity. Carson pointed out that technology has costs.

Carson’s book appeared when no government had an environment department or ministry.

Millions around the world were soon swept up in what we now recognize as the

environmental movement.

Within 10 years, the United Nations Environment Program was created and the first global environmental conference was held in Stockholm, Sweden.

With increasing catastrophes like oil and chemical spills and nuclear accidents, as well as issues such as species extinction, ozone depletion, deforestation, acid rain and global warming, environmentalists pressed for laws to protect air, water, farmland, and endangered species. Millions of hectares of land were protected as parks and reserves around the world.

Thirty years later, in 1992, the largest gathering of heads of state in history met at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The event was meant to signal that economic activity could not proceed without considering ecological consequences. But, aided by recessions, popped financial bubbles, and tens of millions of dollars from corporations and wealthy neoconservatives to support a cacophony of denial from rightwing pundits and think tanks, environmental

LETTERS Urban planning examples mean little to Greater Victoria Re: Better job needed in promoting transit, urban densification (Letters, April 20) This letter states that encouraging mass transit and urban densification will reduce government costs for service provision.

Hong Kong and Singapore are quoted as examples where total transportation costs are relatively low as a proportion of gross domestic product. Are these urban development principles and examples relevant to Greater Victoria?

Our designated metropolitan area, which excludes the Gulf Islands and most of the large rural areas west of Sooke, has a geographical area of 697 square kilometres and a population of about 350,000. Singapore, at 710 sq. km, is almost the same geographical area as us, but has a population of 5.2 million – 15 times higher.

Hong Kong, at 1,104 sq. km is about 50-per-cent larger than Greater Victoria, but has a population of seven million – 20 times higher.

The generalized and simplistic views expressed in the letter from Avi Ickovich are not helpful in determining effective transportation plans for our region. It would be valuable to find out if the high-density Uptown development in Saanich has increased regional travel by attracting longer trips from a wider catchment area, as an alternative to short local shopping trips. What improvement has there been in transit usage?

Regional travel patterns are complex. Chasing higher density may not be the best answer.

Delay to withdraw HST producing questionable tax revenue The citizens of British Columbia voted and

ultimately rejected the harmonized sales tax on Aug. 26, 2011. The provincial Liberal government, under our former premier, failed miserably in introducing this new tax, thus creating much animosity in the eyes of the majority of taxpayers.

Since the Liberals have promised to rescind this tax in accordance with the wishes of the citizens of B.C., don’t you think we deserve to receive periodic reports from our government as to the status of the withdrawal of this tax.

What’s taking so long and why do we have to wait until May 2013 to get results? Meanwhile, the provincial coffers are being replenished with questionable tax revenue which has been rejected by the majority of our citizens.

As a retired fixed-income senior, I am beginning to resent having to patiently sit back and wait for another Liberal promise to materialize.

protection came to be portrayed as an impediment to economic expansion.

This emphasis of economy over environment, and indeed, the separation of the two, comes as humanity is undergoing dramatic changes.

During the 20th century, our numbers increased fourfold to six billion (now up to seven billion), we moved from rural areas to cities, developed virtually all of the technology we take for granted today, and our consumptive appetite, fed by a global economy, exploded.

We have become a new force that is altering the physical, chemical and biological properties of the planet on a geological scale.

In creating dedicated departments, we made the environment another special interest, like education, health, and agriculture. The environment subsumes every aspect of our activities, but we failed to make the point that our lives, health, and livelihoods absolutely depend on the biosphere – air, water, soil, sunlight, and biodiversity.

Without them, we sicken and die.

This perspective is reflected in spiritual practices that understand that everything is interconnected, as well as traditional societies that revere “Mother Earth” as the source of all that matters in life.

When we believe the entire world is filled with unlimited “resources” provided for our use, we act accordingly.

This anthropocentric view envisions the world revolving around us. So we create departments of forests, fisheries and oceans and environment, whose ministers are less concerned with the health and well-being of forests, fish, oceans, or the environment than with resources and the economies that depend on them.

It’s almost a cliché to refer to a paradigm shift, but that is what we need to meet the challenge of the environmental crises our species has created.

That means adopting a biocentric view that recognizes we are part of and dependent on the web of life that keeps the planet habitable for a demanding animal like us.

s a kid Trevor Undi used to watch videos with his mom at his grandmother’s house. They worked their way through all of Hitchcock’s films and as many British mysteries as they could find. But it was one film in particular that shaped Undi’s future, To Kill a Mockingbird.

“It was before I had ever read the book,” Undi said in a call from New York, “but it was definitely at this time where I really felt the weight of what cinema could be and the power of that medium of art.” He was impressed with how the 1962 film – based on author Harper Lee’s 1960 novel about a young girl’s observations about racial inequality in small-town America – taught him about integrity.

Undi, now 32, left Oak Bay High in Grade 12 without graduating and went to Vancouver to learn the movie business first hand, not by going to film school but by working in the industry. Starting as a production assistant he worked his way up to associate producer, most recently on Henry’s Crime, starring Keanu Reeves.

He now lives in New York and is drumming up funding for his first feature length film. It’s an ambitious project that will use original music from a variety of artists to craft the world’s first visual mixtape.

The Kymer Project will be “a collection of original narrativebased music, video segments … woven together into an anthology film,” promo material states.

Told against the backdrop of New York City, each individual video will tell a story about a connection between people based on circumstances and chance.

Filmmaker Trevor Undi grew up in Oak Bay. Now he's raising funds for his first feature length film. narrative driven, but that has fallen by the wayside, he says.

The Kymer Project will revive the narrative tradition and marry it with music. Undi has 11 producers onboard as well as a committed choreographer and cinematographer. Undi would like production to begin within a year, but needs funding to do so. He is looking for support from his hometown of Victoria to raise $80,000 for the project.

“It’s giving some sort of pride of ownership to the community that I came from,” he said about what investors will get back from contributing to the project.

Los Angeles-based comedian Todd Allen has known Undi since Grade 3 when they were both at Monterey elementary school.

“He used to wear bright purple, green, and yellow cord pants,” Allen said of Undi, with a laugh. Allen would go to the movies with Trevor and his mom, Romari. “He was obsessed with film and music. He had an appreciation for film most kids don’t have – he was watching foreign and horror films at 10.”

Allen said he has every confidence Undi will complete the project.

“Oh my God, yeah. It’s very Trevor: highly creative, and unique. He has an appreciation for art and music that other people are drawn to.”

Flamenco spices up Saturday night GOING SOMEWHERE?

F 1 2FOR $ 00 0 00

Vivian Moreau News staff

The grand dame of Victoria’s flamenco scene, Veronica Maguire, will host a tapas and music night on Saturday (May 5). Maguire and her late husband Harry Owen opened the first flamenco dance school in Victoria, Alma d’Espana, and cultivated a vibrant community dedicated to the dramatic dance from southern Spain.

Their son, Gareth, like his father is a wellrespected guitarist, blending contemporary takes with traditional Andalusian music.

Beginning at 7 p.m., and running to 10 p.m. at Henderson Hall, 1632 Yale St., includes a music and dance performance by the students of Alma De Espana, as well as a cash bar, tapas and a silent auction.

Guests are encouraged to dress in flamenco or gypsy attire. Proceeds from the evening go toward supporting scholarships and educational resources for flamenco on Vancouver Island.

Hosted by the Flamenco de la Isla Society, tickets for the adults-only event are $25/$20 and available at Munro’s, 1108 Government St. and Ivy’s Bookshop, 2188 Oak Bay Ave. For more information go to flamencodelaisla.org or call 250-384-8832. editor@saanichnews.com

Parents arrested after police find cocaine in back seat with toddler The parents of a toddler found sitting in the back seat of a car beside a large amount of cocaine were arrested by Victoria police Sunday.

The arrest comes on the heels of a police investigation that began in December. The suspects were allegedly bringing large amounts of cocaine to Victoria from the mainland on a regular basis.

Victoria police Const. Mike Russell said investigators believe the drugs were being sold to dealers. Officers with the department’s Strike Force Unit, which has been leading the investigation, followed an Acura sedan from the Swartz Bay ferry terminal to Victoria on Sunday.

The vehicle was pulled over on Blanshard Street near Nanaimo Street. Police arrested a 35-year-old man and his 39-year-old wife, seized 10 ounces of cocaine from the backseat of the car and arranged alternative care for the couple’s child.

A later search of the couple’s apartment in the 700-block of Humboldt St. turned up more cocaine and crack cocaine. The seized drugs have a combined street value of $16,000.

The husband and wife are facing charges of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking. The man is scheduled to appear in court on July 12, and the woman will be summoned to court at a later date. emccracken@vicnews.com

“They can go down at any time and be inconspicuous and view their art on the wall,” Colpron said.

The show exemplifies how Pacifica is striving to connect tenants with the community at large, Colpron added, noting the organization’s desire to partner with community groups for other programming opportunities, such as culinary education.

“People like to get involved and it doesn’t always have to be on a donations level,” she said.

Maarten Schaddelee’s Wings of Light, an alabaster bowl carved into delicate eagle wings that allow light to come through in much the same way light is visible through eagle feathers made of B.C. alabaster.

Maarten Schaddelee will be showcasing new work and a new direction for his work in the annual Maarten Schaddelee Spring Fine Art Show May 5 and 6.

A selection of the new work is created from ancient materials including marble and 800 year old cedar. Many of the pieces express the spirit of the wildlife that lives on the land and in the ocean near the Maarnada studio, says Schaddelee.

“We’re surrounded by eagles right now. They are flying overhead, spending time in our yard and exploring the beach,” he says. “In sculpting them I've been stretching them out to emphasize their movement and grace. They don't look like eagles in photographs; it’s more an expression of their spirit in flight.”

Schaddelee's signature whale tails have also evolved, stretching to emphasize grace and movement. Recently, his whale tails have been created from 800 year old red cedar blocks that

were originally destined to be cedar shakes.

An alabaster bowl is carved into delicate eagle wings that allow light to come through in much the same way light is visible through eagle feathers.

Schaddelee has created pieces from stone he refers to as Dutch Bakery marble, a slab of Italian marble that was a table top in the Dutch Bakery on Fort Street where he worked for 28 years.

“I learned to work with my hands on that marble table,” Schaddelee says. “When the table cracked and couldn't be used as a table anymore they gave it to me so the beautiful stone could continue to evolve. You could say we’ve both gone through a transformation.”

The public is invited to Maarnada studios, gallery and sculpture garden, 4635 Vantreight Drive, May 5 and 6 between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

Schaddelee will be in attendance both days. llavin@vicnews.com

Proven formulas for those fed-up with the rat race

How Average Canadians Are Creating and Protecting Their Wealth...

Do you believe one person has the same chance of being wealthy as the next? Or do you honestly think that most people who end up rich, got that way because of special circumstances?

waiting for things to “turn around”.

My name is Darren Weeks and I know from the bottom of my heart that everyone has the same chance. I am an average Joe. I grew up in a middle class family. I had no special breaks, and didn’t know any famous people who gave me my start. I definitely didn’t win any lottery.

One of my star students was a tradesperson who was fed up with trying to make ends meet every month. Rob Chaulk was a hard worker that knew his job wasn’t going to make life any easier. He also dabbled in some businesses along the way in the restaurant and towing business.

But I have done very well for my age... ...and I have shown thousands of Canadians how to copy my formula for financial independence.

My company, the Fast Track Group, has been ranked among Canada’s Fastest Growing Companies for two straight years now. Last year, we finished 40th on PROFIT Magazine’s list. In 10 years, I have taken it from 5 employees in one tiny office, to over 100 employees and 12 offices. More than 350,000 Canadians have

...turbulent times like this are where most of the wealthiest 1% made their biggest gains.

But he didn’t become financially independent until he mastered the money game. I was fortunate enough to be the one who showed him how. He has quit the trades, and now owns multiple businesses and has millions of dollars in cash-flow-positive real estate properties.

One simple shift in the way he thought about money, a solid action plan to move forward, and he now never again needs to worry about money or paying bills.

I personally grew up in a middle class family with no special advantages or opportunities.

The difference for me though was a significant desire to be and have more. It wasn’t about all the fancy toys... for me it was about putting an end to the time for money trap I saw everyone else falling for. It was about seeing more of the world. It was about raising a young family in an environment that was positive about money, and the opportunities abound that created more money for those with initiative.

Mama’s got a squeeze box May 6 is World Accordion Day. Established in 2009 to officially mark the 180th birthday of the instrument, the day is a worldwide celebration of all things accordion.

This year it’s going to be a special one with a 24-hour celebration of the accordion, similar to the coverage of New Years Eve, where celebrations are viewed on an ongoing basis as the time zones elapse around the world, ending with live stream interview from Victoria.

Locally there will be a concert May 6, at 2 p.m., at the Edelweiss club, the home of Victoria Accordion Club. Prior to the concert, there will be a special screening of the history of accordion.

After that, the audience will enjoy performances from the Victoria Accordion Club Band, B.C. Accordion Orchestra, internationally acclaimed classical accordionist Jelena Milojevic and other special guests. Everything will be filmed and broadcast around the world a few hours later.

After the concert, there will be light refreshments provided. Tickets are by donation.

On May 31, the B.C. Accordion Orchestra will have its traditional annual concert, with a new program. The show will be at Alix Goolden Hall, starting at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend, Long & McQuade and Victoria Conservatory. llavin@vicnews.com

No, they took action and realized that...

I immersed myself in the “Rich Dad” philosophies, and ultimately worked directly with Robert Kiyosaki to teach Canadian’s these same philosophies and how to take control of their financial future. I began investing in real estate. I started up businesses that supported my new money mindset. I tried to find others in Canada who I could talk to about this drive I had.

“The difference for me though was a significant desire to be more and have more.”

It was difficult to find people who thought about money like I did...

Don’t get me wrong, there were lots of successful Canadians out there, but I found it difficult to Darren Weeks get them to sit with me and talk one-on-one about their own strategies for wealth creation. now attended Fast Track events.

Victoria looks to extend pay parking into evenings

For 37 years, Monday has been an essential part of Victoria— now you can be an essential part of Monday.

Victorians may hold dear their ability to park downtown for free on Sundays and evenings, but nothing is untouchable in an age of austerity.

“We can’t afford to have sacred cows,” said Coun. Marianne Alto.

The item came up recently during a discussion about finding new revenue sources for the city. As the city undergoes a review of its parking services this year, rates and times will be on the table.

“We need to look everywhere for potential revenue,” Alto said.

It may turn out to be a bad idea, but “we have to have the conversation,” she added.

This week, Coun. Shellie Gudgeon led a discussion with the downtown business community, which has consistently resisted reducing the times for free parking.

“I’m trying to work collaboratively to come up with solutions, because parking is broken in Victoria,” said Gudgeon, who owns a restaurant downtown. “Parking shouldn’t be a revenue source.”

On Sunday, parking stalls are being used up by employees, she said. “There’s no movement.”

While she hasn’t ruled out paid parking on this day as a solution, on the whole, she hopes to reduce parking costs.

Free Sunday parking in the View Street parkade and others operated by the City of Victoria may be on the chopping block.

By the numbers ■ A review of revenue sources for the City of Victoria found the city is more dependent on property taxes than most. Approximately 58 per cent of Victoria’s revenue comes from property taxes, compared to an average of 46 per cent for all other muncipalities in B.C. However, user fees in Victoria are slightly higher than provincial average, at about 32 per cent of total revenue. Where Victoria falls behind is in developer contributions, and transfers from other governments.

Barbs smash St. Mikes in Boot Game Oak Bay Barbarians take the bronze boot Travis Paterson News staff

There’s no boot like a bronze boot.

The bronzed rugby shoe of former St. Michaels University School and Canadian national team player Gareth Rees represents Victoria’s biggest derby in high school rugby.

And for the next 12 months it will live at Oak Bay High.

Oak Bay Barbarians winger Kimia Hamedi scored a try, hit all five of his team’s conversions and nailed a penalty kick for a total of 18 points as the Barbs beat St. Michaels University School 38-17 in the annual Boot Game at St. Michaels on Tuesday (May 1).

“It’s great to see the great rivalry that is the Boot Game,” said Barbs coach Murray Allen, vice principal of Oak Bay High. “For the kids, this is one of the biggest games of the year. The size of the crowd was enormous. Students, parents and alumni show how big a deal it is.”

St. Mikes is no slouch in the AAA rugby standings. The school is always among the tops in Victoria and is currently ranked eighth overall in the province. But size is on Oak Bay’s side this year, as the Barbs are ranked second in B.C. and are one of the select few who could challenge the nobility of No. 1-ranked Shawnigan Lake Stags for a B.C. title. “(St. Mikes) carried the play in the first part of the game, had more possession and defended well,” Allen said. “We took advantage of mistakes to go up 21-7 by the half.”

Despite having the lead, the Barbs didn’t take control of the play until early in the second half when fly-half Riley MacPher-

The Barbs won 38-17. son came back after an eight-minute banishment to the sin bin.

“MacPherson might have been our player of the game. Once he came back on we really got things going,” Allen said.

The win was Oak Bay’s fourth against top-10 ranked AAA teams this year, including victories over Carson Graham (No. 4), G.P. Vanier (No. 10) and Earl Marriott (No. 5).

The two clubs are destined to meet again for the Howard Russell Cup, the city’s AAA championship. That final is scheduled for May 17 at Oak Bay High. It will be played back-to-back with the city’s A/AA Colonel-

Hodgkins final.

“We don’t have a big forward pack. We do have a lot of skill, but we need to be fleet of foot,” said St. Mikes coach Eliot Anderson. “Provincially, if we’re fit and healthy we’re a tough game for anybody.”

Also scoring tries for the Barbs was Kaz Kobayashi, with two, and Crosby Stewart and Thomas Mirmotahari with one each.

Sevens heaven The Glenlyon Norfolk School rugby team took a lot of first steps this season, a year of trial-by-fire as the small program jumped to Tier 1 in the Lower Island rugby sched-

ule. It has meant suffering big losses – 44-8 to St. Mikes and 48-0 to the Barbs.

But by no means has it brought Glenlyon down. The team is led by B.C. youth sevens star Fergus Hall and came up with a pair of Tier 1 victories recently, 12-7 over the Claremont Spartans and 34-17 over the Reynolds Rogues.

But where Glenlyon really made its mark this year was at the provincial seven-aside championships in early March. With Hall at the helm, Glenlyon finished fourth among the 22 teams competing. Glenlyon won all three pool games but lost to eventual champion Shawnigan Lake, 31-0, in the semifinals. Earl Marriott defeated Glenlyon 42-7 in the bronze medal game.

Oak Bay, which was in the pool of death with Shawnigan and St. Mikes, recovered with a 31-7 win over Burnaby North but lost 31-19 to St. George’s in the plate semifinal. St. Mikes fell in the bowl championship 19-7 to Lord Byng. sports@vicnews.com
