First people’s Shakespeare Aboriginal traditions help teach English to high school students Charla Huber News staff

Charla Huber/News staff

Devastating news

Sometimes there isn’t room for Shakespeare in a high school English class.

This week next year, select students in Grade 10 and 11 at Belmont secondary school will be the first class to write exams for a new course called English First Peoples, which will be offered for the first time at the school starting in the second semester.

The classes are equivalent to the standard English courses used as prerequisite for university.

“It’s radically new,” said vice principal Dick Juhasz adding the school hopes to grow interest in the program and offer it at the Grade 12 level.

The course is the latest effort of the Sooke School District to enhance the eduthe cation of First Nations students and keep the aboriginal grad rate among the Gazette feature series: Part 1 highest in the province.

“These kids need to know their own culture is much richer than the European culture that they have no linkage to,” Juhasz said. “School is designed to help kids fit into society and to understand themselves.”

The English First Peoples course is about more than studying books written by native authors. Students will also study oral traditions, colonialism and cultural renewal.

“We have diverse learning environments, different choices and a different way of learning,” said Kathleen King-Hunt, SD 62 aboriginal education principal.

While students taking standard English courses study classic literature written by famous authors such as George Orwell and Ernest Hemmingway, students in the First Peoples course will reading the works of iconic aboriginal authors including Thomson Highway and Joseph Boyden.

Cultural connection

the Gazette feature series: Part 1

Blending culture, history and pride shows real results in the classroom Charla Huber News staff

While the English First Peoples course is on its way to Belmont next year, a First Nations 12 class has already been breaking down barriers for the past few years.

The social studies course explores the history of local First Nations and is a recognized course at the university level.

Each year, about 60 students enroll in the popular course.

Belmont hopes the English First People’s course becomes just as popular with its students.

Hannah Covey, 18, a non-native student took the course not knowing what she was getting into.

The course was a life changer for Covey who will pursuing more First Nations courses in university.

“It was a huge eye-opener ... it made me want to learn more and think before I judge people. (Everything changes) when you learn why things are the Charla Huber way they are,” Covey said.

News staff Zach Logan, 17, took the course to help learn Charla Huber/News staff about his own culture. He belongs to the Ditidaht Zach Logan, left, Julia King, Mitch MacDonald and Hannah Covey all took the First Nations First Nation.

“I learned about a lot of stuff they weren’t teaching 12 social studies course at Belmont secondary school this year. The course has improved in other classes like the genocide, wrong doings and treaties,” Logan their grades and taught acceptance and pride. Next year Belmont is offering an English said. “This is my history. It’s good to know the past and how dark it First Peoples course. can be, and how to fix it … I am interested in most history, but if I have the choice, learning about my own history will always be a priority,” Next year, with the English First People’s course (see story on Page A1) being Logan said. offered in the school, graduating Belmont students are envious of the students who Logan’s grandmother even came into the classroom and taught the students about can take the course. Julia King, 16, signed up to the take the English First People basket weaving. course last year, but – due to a limited amount of students signing up and scheduling “Having my grandmother come to the school and teach was major, that wouldn’t issues – the course was delayed one year. have happened at any other school,” Logan said.

King aspires because they don’t know anything about their culture. to become an aboriginal youth councillor.

For Mitch MacDonald, 16, this course did more than teach him about First Nations charla@goldstreamgazette.com history. It taught him to be proud of who he is. MacDonald is native, but unsure Did you know? which nations he belongs to due to adoption within his family and other factors.

MacDonald has aboriginal ancestry on both sides of his family, but felt leery of Students taking First Nations 12 social studies course telling people he was native and was nervous he may not be “native enough” for the say their course averages were one to two grades higher than a standard social studies course, because they were course. He was surprised at the acceptance he experienced in the course. interested in what they were learning.

“Now I definitely tell more people (I am native),” MacDonald said.

English First Peoples course makes literature accessible Continued from Page A1

“They will be reading Three Day Road (by Boyden) and it’s such a page turner. The kids pick these books up and they don’t put them down,” KingHunt said. “The students read it so much the pages were getting frayed at the edges.”

This course is geared to both native

and non-native students, who learn about common characters, such as tricksters, and study symbolism, including dreams and visions and poetry.

“We want to promote this program, it’s a rigorous program available to all students,” King-Hunt said.

“The books they will read are equivalent content and have the same big ideas as Shakespeare.”

Belmont was hoping to start offering the course during the 2011-2012 school year, but when not enough kids enrolled the launch of the new classes was held back.

Fire shuts down sushi shop Nearby stores also affected Charla Huber News staff

When Bonnie McCann arrived at Langford Centre to open up her flower shop Wednesday morning (June 20), she was greeted by a fire next door.

“The smoke was streaming out the back of the building and out the chimneys,” said McCann, who parked behind the building. “I didn’t open the door because it was hot.”

At 8:22 a.m., Langford Fire Recuse was called to Zin Sushi and Noodle, located in the mall on Goldstream Avenue. Fire crews from all three of the municipality’s fire stations arrived on scene with 16 firefighters.

“We knocked the fire out very quickly. The fire was contained to the unit of origin,” said Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett, adding neighbouring shops filled with smoke.

The owners of the sushi restaurant, Joshua and Helen Park, arrived around 8:45 a.m. They appeared distraught and declined to comment.

Nearby shops including Western Foods were evacuated.

“We had more staff than customers in the store (at the time),” said Josie Turner, Western Foods office manager. Around 8:30 a.m.

Western Foods began to fill up with smoke.

The store was forced to discard some food damaged by the fire.

The fire is currently under investigation. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Paved over railway no cause for alarm A paved over section of the E&N Railway in Langford is only temporary, assures city engineers, explaining it was done for Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria on Sunday, June 24.

The patch of fresh asphalt covering the tracks on Atkins Road below Mill Hill will be removed sometime after the event, said director of engineering Michelle West Shore’s Ryder Hesjedal is Mahovlich.

Tour de Victoria – whose prin- training for the Tour de France cipal goal is to promote partici- so won’t be in his eponymous pation – has stages suitable for Victoria ride. all levels of riders. The Island Savings 100 kilometre portion of the race kicks off from Langford City Centre Park at 8:15 a.m. The ride runs throughout the West Shore, along with areas of Saanich, Sidney, Oak Bay and Victoria. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Jim Zeeben/News staff

Firefighters wearing breathing apparatus exit Zin Sushi and Noodle at Langford Centre after a fire broke out between 8:15 and 8:30 a.m., Wednesday, June 20.

Langford Centre’s fire history In April 4, 2011, a fire gutted Salty’s Fish and Chips. The store didn’t have sprinklers and the fire was caused by “an electrical device placed near combustibles,” remembers Langford fire Chief Bob Beckett.

Bonnie McCann, owner of Every Blooming Thing Florist, located next to Zin Sushi and Noodle, has been displaced three times due to fires in the mall. Western Foods, which is on the other side of McCann’s shop, has had two fires in the past 15 years.

“I am right in the middle (of both stores) I get it every time,” McCann said, wiping tears from her face. “My store is full of smoke. It gets on all the products and I have to throw (them) away. You can’t sell stuff that smells of smoke.”

Hospital development moving ahead Proposal includes 10,000 sq-ft commercial and office space, and 138 apartments Kyle Wells News staff

A plan for a commercial and residential development next to Victoria General Hospital is up and running once again after being on hold since 2007.

The proposed Eagle Creek Village project from developer Omicron, based out of Vancouver and Victoria, will include 138 apartments and more than 10,000 square feet of commercial and office space for medical and other professionals, in seven buildings.

The property as a whole is about 13.5 acres and incorporates five lots along Helmcken Road, Watkiss Way and Little Road.

Of the total land, just under three acres is to be dedicated park land, which will include walking trails and a children’s playground.

The proposed site also includes the Victoria General Hospital (VGH) Triangle parcel of land,

which was put up for sale in 2009 and again this May. The main access road for the development is planed for the triangle, along with a large part of the proposed park. “It is a very significant project,� said View Royal councillor and chair of planning and development committee John Rogers. “It’ll probably take another six months to get everything sorted out, which is OK with the applicant. He’s going to need the six months to do his end of the stuff and in conjunction with his people and tenants.�

The commercial space will include retail space with the potential for restaurants, grocery, pharmacy, and liquor stores. Space will also be made for medical services to compliment the hospital, with potential for family physicians, walk-in clinics, dentistry and rehabilitation services.

View Royal committee of the whole is recommending the developer conduct a land lift analysis with staff and a third party, and determine the appropriate amount of payback land to the municipality.

Also, Official Community Plan amendments and rezoning applications need to be referred to the appropriate sub-committees.

An open house in May resulted in largely positive feedback, along with some concerns over increased traffic and speed limits. “I think the exciting thing is it’s obviously addressing a key need in that area for these services. The applicant has heard that loud and clear from folks within the hospital complex,� Rogers said. “It’s not everybody in the town but certainly I do think that people have recognized the need and appreciate the benefits.�

Landfill hosts Sunday tour Edward Hill News staff

1,688

Friday, June 22, 2012 - GOLDSTREAM

Each week, garbage trucks rumble through Greater Victoria neighbourhoods, spiriting away all the rubbish that can’t be – or wasn’t – recycled. For many people, household trash is a problem that is out of sight, and often out of mind.

But this Sunday (June 24), Hartland Landfill is opening its doors and offering tours.

“For residents ... this is a chance for them to see where all their garbage disappears to,” said Monique Booth, the communications co-ordinator with the Capital Regional District.

“They can see the active face

where we are landfilling.”

The event doesn’t feature shockingly large fields of household trash, but offers education on the upcoming kitchen scraps program, which will phase out organic waste from the landfill by 2015.

People can also learn that the landfill generates enough electricity via methane to power 1,600 homes and that 26 per cent of trash at the site is paper or wood products. About 13 per cent is plastics.

The landfill took in about 136,000 tonnes of municipal garbage last year, and 144,000 in 2010, which is dumped and buried in a section called Phase 2.

Between the 1950s and 1997,

Phase 1, the original dumpsite, was filled to the brim with 4.5 million cubic metres of trash (for comparison, B.C. Place Stadium has a volume of about 2.6 million cubic metres). Phase 1 was sealed in plastic, capped with soil and is now 40-per-cent covered with 10,000 trees and shrubs.

Phase 2 has space for 10.3 million cubic metres of trash (nearly four B.C. Place Stadiums) and is expected to last until 2035. There is no Phase 3.

People are welcome at the Hartland Landfill open house on Sunday, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., at 1 Hartland Ave. It will not be open to accept garbage. editor@oakbaynews.com

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community Trent Henry and Tina Tejano, students at Dunsmuir Middle School, participate in the Victoria READ Society’s Capturing Stories program – one of various projects serving the Aboriginal community supported by the Victoria Foundation.

Rose Guedes and her five-year-old son Pearson in the playground of Little Paws Pre-School at the Victoria Friendship Centre. The playground features a dugout canoe and miniature big house to help promote awareness and knowledge of Aboriginal culture.

Taking Steps to Instill Cultural Pride It’s circle time at Little Paws Preschool in Saanich and it begins with a drum and a song.

“If we were to be attending a gathering in a big house, we’d be using masks and dancing and singing, so we try to incorporate as much of that into the preschool as we can,” said Leslie McGarry, culture and community liaison director for the Victoria Native Friendship Centre.

Located at the Friendship Centre, Little Paws features Aboriginal culture as the foundation of its curriculum and program and it welcomes the Aboriginal community.

“We encourage the parents and our elders to come in and share teachings from their generations about how things differ from 50 years ago,” said Margot Edwards, Little Paws Preschool director.

“I wasn’t able to grow up with a lot of traditional culture in my life so the cultural component is really nice because I feel like my daughter’s going to have that advantage,” said Jessica Bender-North, a Métis First Nation member.

“I never went to preschool but in kindergarten we never learned about our heritage or going out to watch salmon spawn and stuff like that,” said Jeff Lincoln, a Nisga’a First Nation member, “and to me, it’s really good that the children are gaining back what we never had when we were going to

school.”

There are 20 children in the class, ranging from three to five years old. First Nations children have first priority, and then it’s open to the community. As a foster mom for 23 years, that welcoming philosophy means a lot to France Cyr. “Being that I am Caucasian, coming here gives the First Nation children that I look after an opportunity to be close to their people and their culture,” said Cyr. With the focus on all Aboriginal cultures from the local territories to Cree, Ojibwa and others, Little Paws is bringing pride and self-esteem to the next generation.

“Many of them will step out and say, ‘I’m First Nations,’” said McGarry “Even if they are not clear about which territory they come from, there’s a sense of pride that’s instilled at this age level that carries through to school age.”

School age and beyond.

OUR VIEW

Saanich opens tagging canvas You might notice graffiti tags popping up and remaining in place in Saanich over the next fiscal year.

Under a mandate to cut back budgets by one per cent, the district’s public works department axed its roads division’s graffiti removal program, which is worth about $30,000.

This funding paid for staff to paint over or wipe clean tags from municipal benches, walls and overpasses. Now unless the graffiti is profane, it won’t be removed.

Saanich is a large, expensive municipality to run and such decisions are never easy, but allowing graffiti tags to go unchecked is one of the worst forms of inaction a local government can commit.

Squiggled tags and random attempts at art painted across telephone poles, fences, bridges and other public structures is the kind of vandalism that begets vandalism. The longer graffiti stays in an area, the more the graffiti bleeds out.

For many residents across the region, graffititagged streets create perceptions that the block is seedy or dangerous, and the people don’t care about their neighbourhood. For local businesses, it drives away potential customers and gives areas bad reputations.

Colwood, a city with many budget woes of its own, decided to roll the dice and invested tax dollars in a bylaw officer dedicated to removing graffiti, tracking tags and gathering evidence, as well as organizing community cleanups. That city has sent a message that taggers will be tracked, fined or criminally charged.

Victoria has offered its citizens an antigraffiti program that offers free cleanup kits, but largely depends on volunteers taking an interest in their community. Saanich is offering the same, and hopefully residents step up to the plate when tags linger.

But in the meantime, Saanich has placed itself in the position of a double-standard – homeowners are required to remove tags from their property, but the district isn’t.

It also runs the risk of eventually spending more tax dollars on cleanup, as taggers realize parts of the municipality are an open canvas.

Drivers who recklessly weave in and out of lanes, simply because they’re impatient or in a hurry, are another problem.

If it’s rush hour and everybody is stuck in traffic, driving in and out of lanes won’t get you any further than anyone else.

According to ICBC, almost 60 per cent of crashes are caused by speeding and distracted drivers.

Distracted driving is defined as using communicative or video equipment while operating a vehicle, as well as inattentive driving.

High-risk driving includes failing to yield right of way, tailgating, improper passing and speeding.

Speeding seems to be one habit drivers just can’t drop.

I don’t think I go a day without witnessing a driver zoom past me, whether on the highway or in a 50 km/hr zone.

Unless speeding up is necessary to safely pass a car, drivers shouldn’t let their impatience rule their decision-making.

Just as drivers shouldn’t let dumb decisions, such as texting while driving, determine how safe roads are for others.

Laws exist for a reason. And unless we want our next paycheque to go toward paying for a speeding ticket, or worse, a hospital bill, it’s important to re-evaluate our driving habits and make an effort to drive safely.

LETTERS City’s dog rules necessary for safety Re: On-leash animals unpredictable (Letters, June 15) I favour restrictive controls over dogs in the city of Victoria.

Over the years I have been threatened and harassed frequently while running or cycling. I have even been bitten several times. Restrictive rules are necessary because too many dog owners are selfishly unconcerned with the comfort and safety of others.

Restrictive rules, combined with social pressure, have at least helped control the amount of dog droppings on sidewalks or pathways.

Let me say something in favour of cats in the city: I have never been chased or bitten by a cat while out running, cycling or walking.

Nor have I ever stepped on their droppings on sidewalks or pathways (last week I stepped in dog droppings in someone’s garden, so it is not just cats that soil yards).

Children are very rarely, or never, seriously mauled by domestic cats. Cats are simply better suited for the city than dogs because they are smaller, cleaner and nonthreatening to passers-by.

As Queen goes, so goes Royal Family Re: Queen’s reign offers stability (Our View, June 8)

In the public’s emotional mind, 60-plus years on the throne will have inextricably identified the British monarchy with its (possibly) longest-serving Queen, having set the Royal bar to virtually unattainable heights for even the “Wills and Kates� of the succession order.

For the people – and they’ll always be the ones that count – the Queen has become the monarchy and the monarchy has become the Queen.

Ironically, the Queen’s uniquely personal success may well prove a harbinger of the Crown’s eventual constitutional demise.

Once she’s gone, the falling “republican� dominos of the Commonwealth countries may well hasten Britain’s process of rethinking its constitutional foundations.

Indeed, that process has already started with a debate on an elected House of Lords.

What must not happen is for the monarchy simply, over time, to become the victim of popular indifference.

School trustees right to stand on principle Is it legal for the provincial government to fire dulyelected school board trustees?

The education minister will fire the Cowichan District trustees if they don’t file a balanced budget by the end of this month.

Five of the trustees ran for election on a platform

to restore some of the services that have been cut from their district in the last three years.

The community elected them based on that and they kept their word, voting 5-4 to submit a restorative budget to the government.

In order to file a balanced budget, the trustees would have to cut even more services from the schools in the district, thereby betraying the people of the community who elected them.

Greater Victoria School District trustees would be on the firing line alongside those in Cowichan, but for one vote. What services did our trustees have to cut to keep their jobs?

Contrary to what we hear from government about how they are spending more money on education and how there are fewer students every year, our school districts are forced to continue cutting programs and services to comply with the School Act and balance the budget.

Reservations 1-800-665-7745 www.capemudgeresort.com If we want to fire any of our elected representatives, Education Minister George Abbott, for instance, we would have to engage in a recall process whereby the people get to vote. The Cowichan community that elected these trustees should have a say in this matter.

Pope having butler raises eyebrows I have long suspected that organized religion is a humandirected business where, in some cases, the real capital is not in souls, but rather power and the bottom line.

I remember the parable where money-lenders were evicted from the temple by the only real prince of the church, then I read the present Pope has a butler – while others live in abject poverty.

The Vatican Bank? How do you spell hypocrisy?

View Royal church hosts ‘kindness explosion’ Erin McCracken News staff

Kindness will soon be overflowing in Esquimalt and View Royal.

“I think you can never give enough kindness,” said Youth With A Mission Victoria director Graham Jackson, who initiated the first Love Your City gathering eight years ago. “It’s a tough world out there. You need lots of kindness.”

This year’s edition of the free familyfriendly outdoor event, spearheaded by several Christian churches happens tomorrow and Sunday (June 23-24).

A “kindness explosion” Saturday at Esquimalt’s Memorial Park will feature a

bouncy castle, face-painting, free hot dogs, children’s crafts and live music from noon to 3 p.m. The same day from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. a barbecue and car wash happens at the Canadian Tire store at Admirals and Craigflower roads.

A church service will be held for the first time in Memorial Park on Sunday, beginning at 10:30 a.m., followed by a picnic and more family fun from noon to 3 p.m.

“The underlying concept is to have the churches from the Christian community show acts of love to the larger community out there, (without) any strings attached,” said Rev. Lon Towstego, who leads the Anglican Parish of St. Peter and St. Paul.

Other churches involved in Love Your City

include HarbourView Community Church, Temple Yeshua and Esquimalt Church of the Nazarene.

Similar Love Your City gatherings happen elsewhere in Canada, the U.S., Australia, India and England.

“I think it’s a display by the churches of a genuine feeling that we do pray and care for our communities,” Rev. Lon Towstego said, adding that Towstego churches have historically played an important part in bringing residents together.

But times are changing, and more peo-

ple consider themselves spiritual than religious.

“It’s no secret that the 18- to 55-yearold age group today is finding alternatives to church, and we’re trying to show them that church is still a viable option for them,” Towstego said.

The hope, he said, is that by showering residents with kindness, a more compassionate society will emerge.

“Ideally, we’d like to see (random acts of kindness) happen every day.”

Everyone is welcome for the weekend events. For details, search ‘Love Your City’ on Facebook, visit esquimaltcentennial2012.ca or call 250-386-4040. emccracken@vicnews.com

Public asks for art on new bridge Opportunity to make Craigflower bridge a people place as well as a vehicle crossing Kyle Slavin News staff

Residents living near the Gorge Waterway may get one more chance to provide input on a design element of the new Craigflower bridge.

An application from the arts, culture and heritage committee, in conjunction with the Gorge Tillicum Community Association, went before Saanich coun-

cil Monday requesting public art be incorporated into the project.

Community association president Rob Wickson says given the historical nature of the area – with Craigflower Manor on the View Royal side and the schoolhouse on the Saanich side – it’s a perfect opportunity to recognize the local roots.

“It should include some First Nations recognition, and maybe some historical recognition of our European past,” Wickson said.

“We want to see the bridge become a place, as opposed to a road. It’s going to be a car place but it needs to be a people place.”

Saanich has a policy that one

per cent of the value of a municipal project goes toward the purchase, commission or maintenance of public art.

The $10.7-million Craigflower Bridge reconstruction project is funded mostly by federal gas tax money.

The existing narrow, two-lane bridge is 79 years old.

It’s slated to be replaced by a three-lane bridge, complete with bike lanes and wide sidewalks.

Construction was scheduled to begin earlier this month, but Saanich and View Royal delayed the build till 2013.

It has not yet been announced whether construction, slated to last six months, will begin in January or June of next year. kslavin@saanichnews.com

When Big Bad John’s was conceived in 1962 by the owners of the Strathcona Hotel as a zany, one-year experiment to add flavour to Victoria and provide a unique atmosphere to those visiting from the Seattle World’s Fair, who would have thought it would still be around 50 years later?

Celebratory events are scheduled between June 25 and July 1 for the downtown pub, famous locally for a decor that included peanut shells on the floor and bras Jennifer Blyth hanging on the walls, among Business Beat other items.

Various food and drink specials, prizes and music are in store, plus draws for 50th anniversary Big Bad John’s T-shirts. Find the pub at 919 Douglas St. or visit strathconahotel. com/BigBadJohns.

New & Notable The Hotel Grand Pacific’s Jordan Mieczkowski faces a long, hot summer in the kitchen as he trains to take on chefs from around the world Sept. 14.

Mieczkowski will represent Canada at the Jeunes Chefs Rôtisseurs Competition in Berlin, competing against other entrants under age 27 from 25 other countries in a “black box” event. Each chef will receive an identical, previously unidentified “market basket” containing certain mandatory ingredients and must then create and execute a three-course menu for four people.

The Gorge Pointe Pub has a new look and new menu focusing on the history of the local area and offers a fusion of traditional pub fare and West Coast cuisine. The pub is located at 1075 Tillicum Rd. at the site of the old Gorge Hotel along the Gorge waterway.

“The Gorge has a rich history, which we’ve tried to integrate into our new brand. You’ll find many interesting old photos and historical tidbits alongside 20 different draft beers, ales and stouts from around the world,” says Tom Burley, managing partner.

HotSpots turn up the heat!

Six Mile takes a fresh, community focus with its coastal cuisine and local brews With a an organic food garden located right off the kitchen, you know the cuisine cooked up in the Six Mile Pub kitchen will be something special.

And with sunny summer weather hopefully on the way, the water-side heated patio is a favourite West Shore destination, the perfect place to enjoy the Six Mile’s extensive menu, from the mouth-watering, hand-made burger to the locally inspired chef’s features. Prefer a cosier setting? Pull up a chair inside B.C.’s oldest pub, served by friendly, efficient waitstaff who always have a friendly smile to share.

Located on the Old Island Highway, just before the bridge in View Royal, the Six Mile Pub enjoys a reputation built on its excellent menu.

“We really are cooking virtually everything from scratch, even using ingredients from our organic culinary garden out back,” says owner Dave Wong.

“It’s something we have been inspired to do from the beginning and it’s something we’ve been really good at.

This is how we eat, and we believe it’s the right way to do things; so now we get to share it with our customers.”

Key to the Six Mile’s fresh approach is award-winning Chef Jeff Kelland’s seasonal take on coastal cuisine, with menus changing several times through the year to accommodate what’s being harvested right now.

One of the best way to enjoy those seasonal flavours is through the daily specials. It’s little surprise that Friday’s “Chef Gone Wild” night is especially popular, with Kelland drawing inspiration for the daily feature from whatever is fresh for the harvest.

Paired with the emphasis on fresh and seasonal is Kelland’s focus on local where possible, from spot

HOT TICKET A Portrait of Myfanwy Pavelic

GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE

Movie Monday will feature a Portrait of Myfanwy Pavelic by filmmaker and artist Agustin Luviano Cordero. The film shows in the Eric Martin Pavilion of the Royal Jubilee Hospital on June 25 at 6:30 and 8:15 p.m.

Admission is free; donations welcome.

Crew packs a punch in six words SixWordSkits produces five videos each week Erin McCracken News staff

Six words can say a lot.

Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway thought so, rising to the challenge of penning a complete work in six words: “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.”

Taking a page from the American author and journalist, Victoria residents Darryl LeCraw and Alex Miller recently began filming skits featuring just six words of dialogue.

A friend of LeCraw’s mentioned the Hemingway legend, given the elaborate nature of a series of online shows that LeCraw and Miller started producing in 2009.

Though they continue to produce The Skit For Brains Show, their small, tight-knit group of cast and crew is now focusing much of its time filming SixWordSkits.

Using just six words, they tell stories of zombies, revenge and

even a sea monster.

“We’re big fans of the nonsequitur, like Monty Python, where at the end of it something happens where you didn’t see it coming,” says LeCraw, 32, a warehouse support worker by day.

“Absurdity,” adds Miller, 27, a carpenter.

The rules seem simple: actors can only say a maximum of six words in a skit, repeated words don’t count. Words can include slang and popular lingo. “Weird mouth noises” don’t count, Miller says. “We reserve the right to modify and amend the rules whenever we think it’s funny.

“By limiting us, it challenges us to come up with more action, more facial (expressions) and gag jokes,” he explains.

“It’s sometimes easy to come up with the idea, but getting it to the point where it’s like, ‘Yes, let’s film this,’ that’s a good challenge,” adds LeCraw.

They have filmed in Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt and beyond, since an idea for a skit can strike at any time.

“Darryl once filmed a skit in the middle of the ice fields of Alberta while working on a docu-

mentary,” says Miller.

Despite the challenge of coming up with several skits a week, the team revels in pushing the creative envelope.

“If we could pay the bills with SixWordSkits, we would make our day job writing (and) filming pilots for our own original shows (and) films,” Miller says.

For now, the group is focused on building an audience, and having fun.

“We know the film industry is a giant maze of broken dreams, popularity contests and failed careers, so as long as we can do what we want to do, we are happy,” Miller says.

A new skit is posted at www. sfb.tv each day, Monday through Friday. emccracken@vicnews.com Actor Johnny Love hangs on a chain link fence with the help of skit co-writers, editors and producers Darryl LeCaw and Alex Miller, at front, while cameraman Josh Zed and soundman David Jones work on filming a SixWordSkit on Broad Street.

“Honouring our ancestors through our elders and recognizing our future through our youth”

Hosted by the Stó:lō and Tsawwassen First Nation

TRADE AND EXHIBITION CENTRE 1190 Cornell Street, Abbotsford V2T 6H5 For more information visit

www.36theldersgathering.com

A team of Camosun College students used a bicycle tire rim, 112 LED lights and their knowledge of a visual phenomenon to create a unique final project for their electronics and computer engineering technology diploma program.

The group – made up of students David Spinks, Matt Tarasoff and Justin Temmel – attached the lights along the outside of the rim, hooked it up to a motor to make it spin, and programmed the lights to represent a string of pixels in a photo.

When the rim spins fast enough, you can see a bright, holographic-looking globe turning in front of you.

“We’re simulating a fully functioning display in spherical formation,” Tarasoff said last Thursday during Capstone 2012, the event where students in the program showcase their final projects.

He says he and his fellow group members took advantage of a trick the eye plays called persistence of vision.

While the eye “refreshes” multiple times per second, the brain holds on to the previous image, burning it in your vision for a fraction of a second longer. Persistence of vision creates the appearance of fluidity and continuity from one image to the next.

By spinning the bike rim fast enough, previously illuminated parts of the world map stay in your retinas temporarily, creating the illusion of seeing a full globe.

“With 112 pixels (made of LED lights) rotated

at a faster rate than the human eye refreshes, we can simulate thousands of pixels by just replacing the image before the eye believes it even left,” Tarasoff said.

A dozen projects were on display at Capstone, highlighting two years of intensive schooling for students in both the electronics and computer systems technology programs.

“It’s a way of putting everything they’ve learned together and coming up with a solution,” said Alan Duncan, chair of Camosun’s electronics and computer engineering technology department.

“It’s sort of simulating what they’ll do in the work world, where they’ve got a problem, they try to solve it, and come up with a solution.”

Among the other projects on display were a smartphone-controlled SLR camera, an iPhone app that helps monitor a person’s safety, and improvements to the mobile-friendliness of the District of Saanich’s website.

Tarasoff says his team’s POV Globe (persistence of vision globe) has potential in such areas as advertising. “It can project almost any image you want.”

While graduation is just around the corner for the trio, and they’ll likely go off on different career paths, they say they’d like to improve upon their current POV Globe – given that they’ve invested hundreds of hours and dollars on it – and see where that takes them.

Ryder Hesjedal’s champagne moment with his first maglia rosa, won on Stage 7 of the 2012 Giro d’Italia.

Olympic support Prior to the naming of Canada’s Olympic cycling team yesterday Ryder Hesjedal announced he’d be donating money to the team, even if he wasn’t part of it.

The Giro d’Italia champion said this week he’ll be donating half of the $10,300 proceeds from the sale of his Italian maglia rosa (pink leaders jersey) to the CAN Fund to support the cyclists who will be going to the London Olympics. The other half will support Ryder’s own initiative to help cycling grow.

Ottawa cycling fan Derek King bought the maglia rosa, which is the first Hesjedal won at the Giro. King cheered Hesjedal on in person at the 2010 Tour de France, and plans to attend this year too.

Canada’s Olympic road and time trial cyclists were expected to be named yesterday, with Hesjedal a clear front runner. Visit vicnews.com for updates. sports@vicnews.com

Last week the junior A Nanaimo Timbermen conceded that 2012 isn’t their year, something the Victoria Shamrocks aren’t ready to do.

With the Timbermen last and the Shamrocks sixth, holding the final playoff spot in the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League, the two sides met in the middle, resulting in a five-player trade.

The Jr. Rocks acquired second-year player Ethan Garland and two graduating players, Paul Brebber and Glenn Foley. Going the other way is Nick Sanderson, Freddie Bathurst-Hunt and future considerations.

“We were debating as a sixthplace team if we should throw the towel in on this season or do a shakeup and challenge for the Jr. A title,” Shamrocks general manager Rod Wood said.

“There was some complacency with the players,” Wood said. “Brebber addresses that.

He’s gritty and brings intensity to the floor we feel we were missing.”

just listened to our coaches.”

“We’ve had great pitching and great back catching,” said coach Grant Stevens, Aliyah’s dad. “It can make or break a team.”

In fastball, the catcher plays a crucial role because of the number of runs generated directly from stealing bases off balls that get past the catcher. Both Stevens, the Lightning’s catcher, and the team’s pitcher, Brynne Smith, have been headhunted for a super mites team to play at a tournament in Burnaby at the end of the month.

“We all played a good season and tried our best,” added Kayla Davies, who plays second base.

The team’s two coaches have spent years at the diamond and neither has ever seen a team remain undefeated for the whole season.

“I told them this is a once in a lifetime thing and to enjoy it,” said coach Davies.

Aside from the team working well together and having genuine skill, he said the players had great attendance at practices and games and the commitment to the team paid off. sports@goldstreamgazette.com

Most people aren’t struck by lightning in their lifetime let alone play on a team that never loses.

For a Langford mites 2 girls fastball team nicknamed the Lightning, winning was the only thing they did this season.

“It was pretty fun, I couldn’t stop smiling,” said catcher Aliyah Stevens, about the feeling of winning 15 consecutive games. The team’s final game of the season was a 20-6 victory on June 9 against a View Royal team. The Lightning started the season in Tier 2, but the squad bumped up to Tier 1 after winning 10 games.

“Our toughest game by far was against the Tier 1 Langford Lightning team,” said coach Wade Davies. “That team was undefeated until we played them.”

The win by only one run was among the most memorable for the team. “We beat the No. 1 handpicked team,” said the nine-year-old Stevens. “I don’t think we were better than them though, we

STOP HAIR LOSS Dr. C. Hammoud, Ph.D. recommends:

To reduce or stop hair loss for men and women

#77

Super advanced formula #77 Has been used successfully for many years KING SIZE - 2 months supply

With powerful DHT block, the recognized #1 cause of hair loss. Unique combination of ingredients make it a guaranteed superior product. Helps to rejuvenate your hair for a fuller and thicker appearance. Early prevention of baldness for those that have a family history. Pattern baldness (Androgenic Alopecia) is caused by an oversupply of hormones DHT (Dihydrotestosterone). It damages hair follicles over time unless preventive action is taken. #77 feeds the roots of the hair by supplying them with the best hair nutrient ever discovered. Help for people who are on radiation or chemo therapy or taking other drugs that cause hair loss. Read testimonials on the Bell website with names, phone numbers and email addresses: “My hair has stopped falling out...and my hair looks shinier and healthier.”; “After 30 days use I noticed I am losing less hair! My hair now looks fuller and the texture has improved.”; “Hair loss was noticeably reduced with first bottle!”; “After using Bell Stop Hair Loss #77 for 2 weeks my hair was not as thin anymore and at the end of the treatment of 2 months my little bald spot on the back of my head was growing over with little hair. This product helped to restore my youthful look.”

SNORING?

Don Denton/News staff

Seen here at Felicita’s Campus Pub, Kristina Brache, a UVic graduate student with the Centre for Addictions Research, found consuming alcohol with energy drinks goes hand in hand with high risk behaviour, such as drinking and driving. Her work has caught the attention of the CRD traffic safety commission.

Caffeine and booze a risky mix: study Natalie North News staff

A researcher at the University of Victoria is calling out the dangers of consuming energy drinks and alcohol, a widespread practice that poses serious risks to health and public safety, officials say.

Kristina Brache, a graduate student in the department of psychology with the Centre for Addictions Research, found that out of 465 university students, those who combined caffeinated energy drinks with alcohol, or consumed premixed caffeinated alcoholic beverages, were more likely than those who drank alcohol alone to engage in risky behaviour, including driving intoxicated or getting in a vehicle with a drunk driver.

Brache, who is the first to publish research of this kind in Canada, wasn’t surprised by the outcome of the study, given similar findings south of the border.

“What is important is that even after accounting for intrinsic risk-taking, we’re still finding there’s some difference in this group that combines alcohol and energy drinks,” she said.

Reported reasons for combining the substances included a desire to eliminate drowsiness and to stay awake longer. “(Drinkers) may actually not be able to judge how intoxicated they are ... given that some of the depressant effects have been attenuated,” Brache said, noting lab studies have documented a reported sense of feeling less intoxicated when people consume both substances at the same time.

Earlier in the year, Brache, in seeking support for stronger restrictions around the marketing of energy drinks and alcohol consumption, presented her data to the Capital Regional District’s traffic safety commission.

Alan Perry, acting chair of the com-

mission, called the talk “eye-opening” and “dismaying.”

It may be a while before the commission, though interested in mitigating the risks to public safety, launches into action that could possibly include a public education component, he said.

“The energy drink industry is a highly profitable industry, a multibillion-dollar a year industry,” Perry said.

“It appears that sector is investing a lot of time and money in trying to ensure that their profits are not eroded.”

Once the commission has mulled over Brache’s findings, they will likely put forward recommendations to the Liquor Distribution Branch to restrict licensed establishments from marketing energy drinks and alcohol together.

“We’re struggling with this because we sense it has the potential to really have a negative impact on both health and public safety, but we’re up against a marketing juggernaut,” Perry noted.

Concern over energy drink consumption is too new and reliable statistics relating deaths to caffeinated alcohol consumption don’t yet exist, said coroner Barbara McLintock of the B.C. Coroners Service.

“The fact is, there are these risks being posed,” McLintock said. “It’s a new risk and a risk that people … all need to be looking at.”

Brache is currently analyzing Canada-wide data on alcohol and energy drink consumption and its relationship to drinking and driving and alcohol abuse and addiction. nnorth@saanichnews.com

SLEEP APNEA?

As recommended by Dr. Gifford-Jones M. D. Often snorers also have sleep apnea which causes being tired all day, high blood pressure, heart attacks, strokes, irregular heartbeats (per FDA website). Millions suffer needlessly and can stop their nightly ordeals.

To my surprise, after taking Bell Snoring & Sleep Apnea Relief #23 I really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH Sleep apnea capsules worked first night! For last 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS For 20 #23 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking Bell #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS It is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine. I have had sleep apnea for 10 years. Using Bell#23, my wife says there is no more snoring or stoppage of breathing. It is such a joy to be able to roll to left or right with no hose or mask to deal with. Thank you Bell for a great relief. I suggest anyone with these problems to try it. You will be overjoyed with the results. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON. Lost my husband because of sleep apnea in 2011. I had sleep apnea, too. I was scared to go to bed and have an heart attack like my husband. After taking Bell #23 I can now sleep for 5-6 hours peacefully without gasping for air. A blessing.

ACNE

By Dr. C. Hammoud Ph.D.

#60 Guaranteed better than all others they used say dozens of delighted users with full names and towns on the Bell website. Works by cleansing blood inside rather than attacking skin from the outside and leaving the actual cause untreated. Here are a few examples:

Eczema Psoriasis Rosacea Rashes

I had terrible Acne for 3 years and tried Benzoyl Peroxide, Proactiv, Aloe Vera and others. After 4 days taking the Bell natural product #60 it started to clear up my skin. My skin changed from terrible to beautiful.

Mylene Theriault, 19, Sorel-Tracy, QC In 2 days my son’s face completely cleared up of acne. My son is 15 and suffered for 3 years. We used many products like laser, Clean Clear, Neem that did not work or burned his skin. Veronica Marden, Seminole, TX Unbelievable acne free beautiful skin Last couple of years I had acne and tried every product like Murad, Proactiv and antibiotics. Results with #60 were unbelievable.

Thanks for giving me beautiful skin and my self-esteem. Nelisa Royer, 28, Doral, FL Within 6 days eczema cleared up completely. I believe #60 addresses the cause internally instead of the symptoms. Latifa Boutshik, 43, North York, ON I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell #60, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC All statements made on the Bell website are sent by delighted users. All are real people. Most have listed phone numbers and can be called for advice. No money is paid to them. Their reward is the relief they are getting. All say #60 works within days not months, not years. It’s more effective than what they used before. It is less expensive (some acne suppliers ship monthly and charge monthly, which may amount to large sums yearly). No side effects were reported on #60. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech. No money is paid for it. No questions asked guarantee.

Base tours attract locals, tourists Visitors get crash course in historical, current operations Erin McCracken News staff

Ghost stories, a booby-trapped wall, gun batteries, warships and buildings from a bygone era are just some of the highlights meant to captivate visitors to CFB Esquimalt.

Elena Lopez and Drew Danelesko have the unique summer job of taking the public on behindthe-scenes guided bus and walking tours of the navy base, which began May 22 and continue until late August.

Last summer, about 1,600 people toured the base.

“I kind of wanted to know a little bit more about the military, since it was a big part of my childhood,” Esquimalt resident Lopez, whose father is a naval officer at the base, says of her reasons for applying for the job.

Though she has long been immersed in military life, the University of Victoria political science student had never been to the secure dockyard at CFB Esquimalt before taking on her current position. “You don’t realize how much active work is actually going on here,” she says.

Victoria resident Danelesko, a fourth-year UVic student, was drawn to the role for different reasons. “I’m a history student, so being a tour guide (allows me to) relate that same enthusiasm that I have for history to other people,” he says.

“This base is over 100 years old, so I think that’s really interesting.”

The pair are enjoying telling visitors about the 112-year-old ghost of Lt. Reginald Scott that is said to haunt the commodore’s residence.

It’s one of many historical aspects of CFB Esquimalt that will capture people’s imaginations.

One of several highlights on the tour is a brick wall built in the late 1800s as a boundary between the military dockyard and the village of Esquimalt.

A section of the wall still stands just beyond the dockyard gate. Visitors will learn of the glass shards placed along the top of the structure long ago – they’ve since been removed – to keep village

Tour details ■ Bus tours: For a 90-minute bus tour, meet the tour guides at 11 a.m. on weekdays until Aug. 24, excluding July 2 and Aug. 6, near the CFB Esquimalt Naval & Military Museum. Enter the Naden gate at the intersection of Admirals and Woodway roads, and follow the blue lines on the road or the signs with the letter ‘M.’ ■ Walking tours: Two-hour walking tours happen Saturdays at 11 a.m. until Aug. 25, excluding June 30 and Aug. 4. Head to the main gate of HMC Dockyard, at the end of Esquimalt Road.

■ Custom bus or walking tours: These can be arranged for groups outside the regular schedule. Request by calling 250-363-2595, or emailing cfbesquimalt@shaw.ca.

children from sneaking in and stealing expensive equipment, Lopez says.

The tours draw out-of-towners, seniors groups, youth groups and schools, families, retired military members and photography clubs.

“The majority of our groups during the summer are tourists, but also there are a lot of new military families that move in (who come for the tours),” says Vicki Laidlaw, CFB Esquimalt tours co-ordinator.

The tours are meant to forge a connection between the Royal Canadian Navy and Canadians.

“It’s their navy,” says base spokesperson, navy Lt. Michael McWhinnie. “We want them to feel connected, and to know about it and to understand the work that is being done on their behalf and in Canadian interests, not just at home, but around the world.”

As CFB Esquimalt tour guides, Lopez and Danelesko help make that happen. “(Their role is) part hospitality, but also part ambassador for a national organization. There’s a lot of responsibility,” McWhinnie said.

To take a free, guided tour, visitors must have valid photo identification, except children under 12 when accompanied by an adult. Sturdy, closedtoe footwear is required for walking tours. Photography is permitted. emccracken@vicnews.com

early four years after Dave Calder and Scott Frandsen were the first Canadians on the podium in Beijing, the men’s pairs rowers are ready to turn Olympic silver into gold.

London 2012 is the last chance for them to take top spot as a team. If their intense training regimen and five years of rowing together are any sign, it’s also their best.

Unlike in Beijing, when the pair had but a few months training together prior to the Games, Calder, a resident of Saanich, and Frandsen, who hails from Kelowna, have spent the better part of the last 30 months in full-time training.

Under coach Terry Paul, Calder and Frandsen train together six times per week on Elk Lake; three times weekly in the weight room at the Pacific Institute of Sport Excellence; twice on rowing machines at PISE; and also take road bikes around Greater Victoria.

Benefits of the program, one that requires a 7,500-to 9,000-calorie diet, reach beyond the physical.

“We know how we both like to race,” Frandsen said. “Often a lot of things can go unsaid because we both know what the other’s thinking.”

The amount of time spent together creates a healthy amount of friction, Calder added.

“We spend an abnormally large amount of time together in a mental and physical state of great exertion and it forges an incredible bond, a bond that can handle us getting pissy at each other every once in a while,” Calder said.

“Like any relationship, you have

One of those bad days came in 2011 when the pair rowed into fifth place at the world championships, in Bled, Slovenia. It’s a part of their history together that they chalk up to a short-lived change in the racing schedule, which disturbed the team’s rhythm, but left them better equipped to handle future challenges.

“It wasn’t the end of the world and it left us pretty hungry for the winter of training,” Calder said.

After five years as a team, and attempts from both halves of the pair to leave competitive rowing, the end is finally near.

Frandsen, who turns 32 next month, will return to a position with Royal Bank of Canada in Vancouver in September. If he’s enjoying his career and can handle life without rowing, he won’t return.

At 34, Calder, on leave from his position with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, is more certain

these Olympics will be his last.

“I feel I’ve had an incredible rowing career – I’ve been racing for Canada since I was 15 – and I’m really happy to have this as my last Olympics. I feel really healthy about ending on this high note.”

Calder said his wife, Rachel, who has heard him claim retirement from rowing three separate times, won’t believe it until he’s home in Saanich once the 2016 Games begin in Rio de Janeiro. nnorth@saanichnews.com
