Last rites for 98-year-old church Cornerstone of the Marigold community for generations, Garden City United is closing its doors Kyle Slavin News staff

Garden City United Church is described by members as a closeknit community of friends. So it was with a heavy heart that the small, 37-member congregation decided to permanently close the doors of the 98-year-old church in Saanich. “In life there are endings and there’s death, and there’s sadness. But also, with faith, we carry on,” said Kay Bruner, 76, who’s been a member of Garden City United since 1985. The decision to close the church was made in March. The last worship service will be held on Sunday, July 29, with a barbecue banquet to follow. Helping the congregation come to their decision was Rev. Michael Brown, who was brought in two years ago as interim minister to lead the discussion on the past, present and future of Garden City. “This is a congregation who is struggling with the numbers going down, and (Brown) helped us decide in what direction we’re going to go,” Bruner said. Brown gives credit to the congregation for coming to the conclusion they did. “Things were continually going down hill. They kept asking the question of themselves, ‘What does God want us to do?’ They

were very theological about it,” Brown said. The original church, built on the property in a day by the Marigold farming community, was a Methodist church until 1925, when four Protestant churches formed the United Church. The building that now sits on the site, at 4054 Carey Rd., was built in 1957. “They worshipped in the basement for nearly two years until the sanctuary was completed in the spring of 1959,” said Brown, who previously served in Vancouver, Wash., and will return there once Garden City closes. “They thrived in the ’50s and ’60s like most mainline churches. At that time, Sunday school enrolment was 250 with 25 teachers, whereas now we’re down to a couple teachers and most of the time we don’t have kids.” Bruner predicts that the “sign of the times” – declining enrolment, mainly – won’t just impact Garden City. “Church was very important in the ’50s, ’60s, ’70s, ’80s; things have changed. Quite frankly, I’m sure there’ll be other churches here in Victoria that will look at closing,” she said. “It was rather brave of our congregation to face the future and say, ‘Hey, we can’t do this anymore.’” Garden City United Church’s assets will be split up and donated to four mission projects “to help them continue to serve the community,” Brown said. Those recipients will be Our Place Society, The Mustard Seed, Camp Pringle in Shawnigan Lake, and Vancouver School of Theology on the Lower Mainland. What becomes of the building has yet to be determined, but it will be up to the B.C. Conference of the United Church of Canada. “The congregation is hoping

Rev. Michael Brown leads the service in Garden City United Church last Sunday. The congregation decided to close the church after years of declining attendance. The final service is on July 29. that the building might be home to another faith community. However, it may be totally repurposed. We don’t know. It’s just life,” Bruner said. “Life has endings, and then life has beginnings. Michael summed it up in his sermon last week entitled ‘Hello, goodbye, hello.’ It’s not ‘Hello, goodbye.’ There’s still life here.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Cougar prowling Prospect Lake Saanich police are asking residents in Prospect lake neighbourhoods to be mindful of kids and pets after a cougar was seen roaming the area. Police had two separate reports on July 6 of a cougar near Prospect Lake, including from one resident who saw it pass through his backyard. In late June, a cougar was seen prowling around Wlikinson Road jail.

Driver plows BMW into rock wall In what Saanich police believe is an incident linked to drinking and driving, a man crashed his BMW head-on into a rock wall in the 1200 block of Portage Rd. on Sunday. A number of neighbours stopped to help the man who walked away from the crash. He was treated by a B.C. Ambulance crew and taken to Victoria General Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Saanich police collision investigators say alcohol played a role in the crash. The incident remains under investigation.

Quadra-Cedar Hill picnic Sunday Join the Quadra-Cedar Hill Community Association at Playfair Park this Sunday (July 15) for its 13th annual summer picnic. With music from the Clover Point Drifters, free cake, and activities for kids including fun races and a bouncy castle, there’s fun guaranteed for the whole family. Hot dogs, pop and chips will be sold by donation. The event, part of the Saanich Summer Sunfest, runs from noon to 3 p.m. at Playfair Park, located just off Quadra Street at the end of Rock Street.

Doctor shortage looms Baby-boomer family docs prepare to retire, with few newcomers to take their place Erin McCracken News staff

A shortage of family doctors in the Capital Region has left thousands of people without consistent medical care and doctors struggling to meet demand – a problem that will soon worsen as many physicians approach retirement age. “It’s absolutely a crisis,” said Dr. Mark Sherman, one of five family doctors at the Victoria Community Health Co-operative, where physician recruitment efforts are ongoing. Fewer doctors are left to shoulder the burden of more complex health issues that come with Greater Victoria’s aging population. “Patient care is appalling,” said Dr. Cara Ewert with Herald Street Health. “It’s all just a little bit overwhelming.” There are 13 available positions for permanent, part-time and substitute, or locum, family doctors in the Capital Region listed on the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s website. But the vacancy rate from Sooke to Sidney is likely higher, doctors say, and those numbers are expected to climb in the next five to 10 years, as many physicians retire. On average, family physicians in the Capital Region are in their late 50s. “Doctors here are older than just about anywhere in B.C. It’s just reflective of the general demographics here,” said Andrew Hume, the executive director for the South Island Division of Family Practice, one of 31 community based and provincially funded groups of family physicians in the province. And with few replacement physicians on the horizon – the reasons range from lower remuneration to new doctors preferring to specialize – many family physicians in the region are postponing retirement, some for as long as five years. “We generally say that physicians should plan one year to recruit,” said Brenda Warren, VIHA manager of physician recruitment.

Erin McCracken/News staff

Dr. Mark Sherman is one of five family doctors at the Victoria Community Health Co-operative where physician recruitment is an ongoing priority. But solutions may be on the horizon. Hundreds of doctors in the region are finding their collective voice through the Divisions of Family Practice, which works in co-operation with health authorities, a joint provincial physician-Ministry of Health service committee and the ministry itself. Together, doctors at the community level are trying to map out strategies to address issues such as recruitment and retention. “As family doctors dealing oneon-one with individual patients, we really felt we were in a unique role to advocate on the ground, right at the grassroots level,” said Dr. Kathy Dabrus, who sits on the Victoria Division of Family Practice’s board of directors. “There hasn’t been a voice previously.” The Victoria division, which started last November, now has 187 members. To better understand physician demographics, divisions will survey members this summer. South Island members plan to come together in September to develop strategies, based on survey results. A recruitment working group will likely emerge from that process,

Hume said. The South Island division began in October 2010, and has 150 family physician members on the West Shore and the Saanich Peninsula. Collaboration among physicians, the divisions, B.C.’s Ministry of Health and the health author-

“Doctors here are older than just about anywhere in B.C.” –Andrew Hume South Island Division of Family Practice ity, among other stakeholders, is imperative to address the shortage, Hume said. “It’s a whole community approach, so part of our strategy has to be, ‘how are we going to work with municipal governments and community based agencies, and other health providers, health authorities, the ministry, to identify resources?’” Such municipalities as Esquimalt, which has one family practice but enough work for two or three, are looking to be part of the solution.

The township is taking steps this fall to develop a physician recruitment strategy, in co-operation with VIHA and through consulting Esquimalt-based family doctors. “Esquimalt is an expensive place to move into (and buy a house), and also business and commercial taxes are higher,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. In an example of teamwork, the South Island division is spearheading a working group of stakeholders on the Saanich Peninsula to develop a comprehensive multi-practice primary health-care centre. “A municipal government can play a very active role in terms of assisting with the provision of facilities or possibly land, zoning, bylaws, to make it more attractive (for doctors) and support that kind of development in their community,” Hume said. Collaborative, long-term solutions can’t happen soon enough for doctors facing an imminent tidal wave of patients orphaned by retiring physicians. “We need new or practising doctors to move to Victoria to set up or join a practice,” Sherman said. emccracken@vicnews.com

A small army of 400 were scheduled to begin transforming the soccer fields at West Shore Parks and Recreation into the setting for one of the largest shows ever held on the West Shore. The concert features The Tragically Hip and Sam Roberts, as well as local acts Jets Overhead and Current Swell. The stage itself will be 15.25 metres (50 feet) by 12.2 metres (40 feet) and the concert grounds will be cordoned off using almost 3.5 kilometres (11,000 linear feet) of event fencing. “This is a unique site with open fields that we need to secure,” said Jamie Tobin, operations manager for Rock the Shores. Also being installed are 120 portable toilets, including 10 just for the VIP section. A bike valet service will be available to anyone who rides to the event. All cyclists can enter through the VIP gate. There is no official concert seating, other than a few tables near the 10 food vendors. Rock the Shores runs from 4 to 11 p.m., July 13, on the lower fields of the West Shore Recreation Centre, 1767 Island Hwy. See www.rocktheshores.com.

Young Saanich boater remains missing Edward Hill and Natalie North News staff

A young Saanich man remains missing after his canoe capsized Friday night near Ten Mile Point during a camping venture that turned terribly tragic. Two young men, both 20-yearold Saanich residents, launched their canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove July 6 with the intention of camping on nearby Discovery Island. The canoe capsized while the men paddled through Baynes Channel near Ten Mile Point. They clung to a dry bag of camping gear. Residents of the point heard cries for help and called police. Neither man was wearing a life jacket, and no personal floatation devices were in the canoe. One of the men was found clinging to Tod Rock near Mary Tod Island off Oak Bay at 12:25 a.m. He was plucked from the rocks with hypothermia, but released in good health Saturday from Royal Jubilee Hospital. “He was severely hypothermic when they found him, but the best that could be expected for

Unfortunately after an exhaustive water and shoreline search Friday night and Saturday morning, the second man hasn’t been found. “The fellows did not have (personal floatation devices) and that’s certainly the first thing any boater should always have,” Bentzon said. “For the one fellow who made it to the rock, that was great, but for the other fel-

where, although police say the window of survival in water at night is about three hours. Saanich major crimes detectives have been assigned to the case and are supporting the families of the men. Detectives have determined drugs and alcohol weren’t a factor in the canoe capsizing. Greater Victoria Victims Services volunteers are also assisting the families. Saanich police are asking boaters and beach-goers to keep watch for the missing man who is described as wearing a blue Umbro soccer zip-up. Missing items include two wooden paddles and a neon green dry bag containing camping equipment, an item that investigators are hoping will reveal more clues as to what happened. Anyone with information about this incident or who comes across any of the missing items can contact the Saanich police at 250-475-4321. editor@saanichnews.com

low, not so.” Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the men became separated in the water in the dark near Tod Rock. “His buddy was washed up onto the rock. That’s when the second man was last seen,” Jantzen said. “It’s tragic, they were just in sight of shore.” Sea conditions were relatively calm with a light breeze and “nothing overly severe”, Bentzon added. “In that area there is a lot of current all of the time,” said Steve Hanna, deputy chief of the Saanich fire department, which

also responded to the call. “Whether the tide is strong that day – there is a strong current always.” Boats from Canadian and U.S. coast guards, Victoria police marine unit, Saanich fire department boat, RCMP marine unit, Oak Bay police and fire departments combed the waters at night and in the morning, along with a Cormorant helicopter out of Comox. Saanich search and rescue volunteers hunted the shoreline from Ten Mile Point to Ogden Point from dawn July 7 until the search was called off in the early afternoon. Jantzen said rescuers just ran out of areas to look, and the search yielded no clues. At about 4 p.m. near Race Rocks, a commercial fishing vessel from Delta located a blue canoe the same make, size and appearance to that used by the men. The incident is now classified as a missing person case. Police aren’t saying if the man likely perished or could have made it to shore some-

Preschool celebrates 40 years Personal Support Worker Program

Volunteers help Saanich-based co-op thrive

3 Month Program Starts Sept 4, 2012

What started off as a playgroup led by a group of moms in a church basement, has evolved into a-four-decades-long early child care education institution in Gordon Head. Lambrick Park Preschool and Childcare was honoured with a Child Care Legacy Award from the province after being founded in Gordon Head United Church in May of 1970, where it remains today after several moves along the way. The first preschool group, held when the church was located on Torquay Drive, had less than 15 children but grew to 30 kids by 1971. In 1972, the school moved to the St. Dunstan’s Anglican Church at San Juan and Tyndall avenues and by the end of that year, the group had grown to 60. In September 1983 the preschool packed up and followed the Gordon Head United Church to its current location at 4205 Tyndall Ave. This time the school was given its own space on the main floor. Keitha Walsh remembers her search for a preschool for her two children in the 1970s. For her, the co-op model stood out. “There were volunteer par-

Her daughter, Andrea, has stayed in contact with three of the girls she went to preschool with. Current teacher Rhonda Sylven took hold of the opportunity to teach at the school when it came up in the mid 1980s and has loved the role ever since. “It’s a pretty exciting time of development and the range of things that (kids) learn in that two-to-five range is massive,” Sylven said. “They’re magical thinkers, not rigid in the way they think. They’re very open to discover-

ies and trying new things.” The non-profit preschool has wrapped up another 10-month, play-based preschool program with 43 students in June. It also offers child care, but it’s not a daycare. The difference between daycare and preschool, Sylven said, is the focus on physical and emotional and social development found at the preschool. The difference between co-op preschool and any other preschool, remains family involvement. Parents – or grandparents, nannies, or any other care giver – take part in duties and workshops at the school alongside its two employees. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Has my vision changed?

How frequently should one “change ones glasses?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years. Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required. The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

Volunteers deliver on community tool shed Leadership Victoria crew leaves legacy at housing complex Edward Hill News staff

For a tool shed built by a gang of white-collar workers, it looks unexpectedly sturdy and cleanly designed. Its walls are lined with all manner of tools – pliers, screwdrivers, grips, extension cords, levels, rakes, shovels and hoses, and even earthquake kits. It’s a handyman’s dream and a first shot at making a community tool shed within a Capital Region Housing Corporation townhouse complex. The community tool shed was conceived and built by a six-person team within a Leadership Victoria 2012 class, modelled on a similar tool sharing project out of Portland, Ore. In partnership with CRHC, the LifeCycles non-profit group was starting a community garden at the Cloverdale Avenue site, so a

community tool shed seemed a perfect fit for 26 families in the complex and 26 seniors in an adjacent building. Over the course of the project from September to May, the Leadership Victoria team fundraised money, had the tools donated and even had time and expertise donated from a contractor and building designer. The six, who are mainly managers and professionals, also put in sweat and labour. “There were a lot of weird snags,” said Blair Spencer, a provincial probation officer who speaks for the team. “There is kind of an underground stream here. You dig holes and they fill with water. There was a lot of trial by error. “It was an ongoing joke about six white-collar workers choosing a gritty construction project,” he added. “It definitely took us out of our comfort zone, but part of the program was meant to push our comfort zones.” Residents at the complex supported the project and were keen to have gardening tools available, but the uptake on borrowing has been slow. Dawn

I don’t carry a lot of tools in my house,” Kennedy said. “It helps fosters a sense of community. And my kids love digging in the gardens, digging for the worms.” Amy Jaarsma, a senior manager with CRHC, said community tool sheds are something they’d like to see at other housing sites. “This is the first tool shed for our properties,” Jaarsma said. “We might try it again once we get a feel for it. It would be great to try out in a different location.

Victoria filmmakers making waves Director earns national, international acclaim

said with a laugh. “I don’t know why on Earth I would choose to shoot a film based on a raft. Most people shoot protagonists and antagonists in a room, sitting down and talking at a dinner table.” The filmmakers are now faced with the challenge of fundraising for the cost of constructing the raft, as well as the additional costs associated with filming safely on the water.

Natalie North News staff

Love demands sacrifice. The central theme of local filmmakers Jeremy Lutter and Daniel Hogg’s latest film, Floodplain, could also be applied to the difficult process of shooting it. The coming-of-age tale follows Vic and Duncan, as the young couple fulfills their childhood promise to raft across a floodplain in Invermere, B.C. It’s a story that both director Lutter and writer-producer Hogg identify with, but it’s also one that requires a certain degree of sacrifice when it comes to filming almost entirely on an isolated marsh outside of Maple Ridge. “The nature of the project is inherently challenging with these actors out on the water. … We need boats and water safety people and locations that we’re looking at all have location fees attached,” said Hogg, who adapted the script from a short story by D.W. Wilson, a University of Victoria writing department grad and winner of the BBC National Short Story Award. “I also think it’s a beautiful story, a story that deserves to be told,” Hogg added. The folks at the National Screen Institute agreed. This spring Floodplain was awarded the national film and television training school’s drama prize, which includes ongoing mentoring and $30,000 in cash and in-kind services towards the production of the seven-to-10minute film. “Unfortunately, it was for movie-related services, not marine-related services,” Lutter

“I don’t know why on Earth I would choose to shoot a film based on a raft.” –Jeremy Lutter For this they set a fundraising goal of $3,500 on crowd-funding site indiegogo.com, where supporters can track the progress of the film and receive perks, such as original storyboards, for donating to the creative campaign. Based on the success of Lutter’s last film, donors can expect their cash will be put to good use. Lutter raised $6,000 through indiegogo.com last year for an animatronic robot for Joanna Makes a Friend. That film, story-edited by Hogg, won a viewers’ choice award at the Toronto International Film Festival earlier this year and went on to screen at the Cannes International Film Festival in May in France. “I couldn’t believe (the film won in Toronto), and then something even better happened,” Lutter said of the Cannes screening. “It’s pretty much the most ridiculous thing ever.” Lutter is currently developing Joanna Makes a Friend into a feature-length film, while planning for a late-July shoot for Floodplain. He and Hogg have yet to reveal any casting deci-

The two have collaborated on more than 20 films since they met as UVic students at the Victoria Film Producers’ Association launch party in 1999. “I’m surprised that he still answers my phone calls,” Lutter said. “I don’t know why he does. I owe him more favours than he owes me.” Hogg chalks up their partnership to mutual respect – and the fact that he answers those calls. “At the end of the day, we have mutual sensibilities. We have similar goals and I think we complement each other's skills.” All the details on Floodplain can be found at Facebook.com/ floodplainmovie. nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Boating tragedy preventable C

autionary tales of young people acting foolishly, and paying the price with injury or death, seem to appear every year in Greater Victoria. Often this coincides with the first blazing hot weekend of the summer, usually at parks like Thetis Lake, where booze, bravado and rocky cliffs collide. Not so this year. On Friday evening, two young men set out in a canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove for a weekend camping trip. From Ten Mile Point, Discovery and Chatham islands appear relatively close to shore, certainly easy paddling distance for fit young people. It all went horribly wrong, very fast. After the canoe capsized, one young man suffered hypothermia but survived. The other remains missing. We hope for his sake, and for his family and friends, that the young man has washed ashore alive somewhere. This incident was completely preventable, but these young men seemed oblivious to the numerous dangers they put themselves in. First, they set off at late twilight in a canoe, an unstable boat not designed for the rigors of the open ocean. Second, it may have been a calm evening, but they paddled into Baynes Channel, an area with strong currents that, according to a current table, would have started getting stronger soon after they hit the water. It would have been more surprising if the canoe hadn’t tipped. The only upside to this scenario is they weren’t drinking. Even if the men weren’t aware of the local ocean currents or the seaworthiness of their boat, it is genuinely shocking that they failed to wear life jackets, or even had any in the canoe. They had the forethought to pack a dry-bag of gear for camping, but not the most basic lifesaving element for the water. We see this all the time in Victoria. People fish in rowboats or dinghies in lakes without personal floatation devices, never imagining a head trauma or some medical incident could render them or a companion unconscious and unable to swim. Add in a few beers and the odds get worse. PFDs are even more crucial in the ocean off Victoria – the water is cold year-round. The young man who was found on the rocks off Oak Bay Friday night was hypothermic in less than two hours. Anyone taking to the water this summer needs to take heed. The ocean is cruel and unforgiving to those who don’t respect basic safety rules. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@saanichnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mascot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history. Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert.

A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts displayed for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade. Barlee didn’t lack courage, quitting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his magazine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power. tfletcher@blackpress.ca –Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

LETTERS Seven stories too high for campus of care Re: Saanich residential care building on fast track, (News, July 4) The Saanich News story regarding residential care beds missed an important point. In fact, it is not only Oak Bay residents who were displeased with the VIHA/Baptist/CRHD residential care proposal. Saanich residents also were opposed to parts of the Mount View Heights development. Our neighbourhood has graciously accepted that a former school property would be developed; we welcomed Cool Aid’s housing for homeless seniors, CRD housing, and a large campus of care. We are all well aware of the very real and urgent need for these services across the CRD. All we asked for in return was that the care buildings be limited to four storeys, and that the community be allotted a significant park area, since the removal of green space was the greatest loss to our neighborhood. And what were we given, for all our welcoming? A slap in the face: the largest care building will be seven storeys, and the proponents never budged on that height or the green space requests that were made. We were made to feel that we should be happy that we got any park at all. Saanich council (excepting councillors Vic Derman and Dean Murdock) should be ashamed that they were less willing to listen to constituents than Oak Bay councillors were. In light of all this information, the News would do well to point out that VIHA/Baptist/CRHD appear to have a problem with the design of their buildings, rather than leading readers to believe that Oak Bay council are simply being unreasonable.

And if VIHA/Baptist/CRHD really cared about these projects moving forward, they would truly listen to local residents, rather than trying to impose their will. Chelsea Garside Saanich

Shelbourne action plan key for community Re: Douglas corridor a chance to make ‘visionary’ changes, (Letters, June 27) I find Vic Derman’s note interesting. A reminder to all community members and Saanich’s mayor and council not to forget the time being spent on planning the vision for the Shelbourne corridor. Saanich planning and transportation staff, community associations and various other groups have been meeting since 2009 to provide input and develop framework for the Shelbourne Corridor Action Plan. The area impacted in this plan is vast and includes many schools, Hillside Centre (which is under expansion), high volume roads (Doncaster, Richmond, McKenzie and Cedar Hill X roads), and an area with a high percentage of students and seniors. This plan will be the benchmark to make our community a vibrant, walkable, bike friendly, lead the way for types of appropriate development along Shelbourne Street and a sustainable Shelbourne Valley. I hope that Saanich, when it comes time to approve the plan, will include a concrete budget and implementation schedule as to not disappoint the community that it will not be left on a shelf. Let’s work together on finalizing the vision for the Shelbourne corridor so we can all enjoy it now. Marlene Bergstrom President, Mount Tolmie Community Association

Many drawbacks to regional amalgamation I see the amalgamation gang are at it again. They always say they speak for the majority, but I doubt it. They want all the police departments to amalgamate so that we can all be as happy as Esquimalt? The administrative costs of Victoria are out of control. The answer? Amalgamate. Get the rest of Greater Victoria to share the cost. I have looked at the other areas of Canada where amalgamation has been forced or been selected. Costs go up and service to the outlying areas goes down. Once it is done it cannot be undone so give it a hard look before you get on the bandwagon. The Capital Regional District is area-wide and we are all happy with them, right? Bill Bryant Saanich

Cedar Hill should have some restaurant service Re: Residents call for restaurant at Cedar Hill, (News, June 27) The situation at the Cedar Hill Golf Course is a direct result of poor management, but the restaurant was closed before a change was made. The golf course has never been considered a recreational facility like Commonwealth Place, so it has not been subsidized by taxpayers. It has more than paid its own way in the past. After the fire, the new building had a second floor added for public food services and space for group gatherings that was first class. Golfers and tournaments scheduled early could get a simple breakfast or toast

and coffee, as well as early morning walkers. People in the area, passers by, as well as women’s groups, buses of seniors and business groups often came for the light lunch menu. When the new irrigation system was needed, there was no contingency fund in place, so the patrons of the golf course and restaurant were responsible for the debt. To solve this and save money, management would shut the restaurant down without notice if there were not enough customers. People who would come and find the service closed, went elsewhere and finally stopped coming altogether. Some golfers went elsewhere to eat before golfing. Instead of encouraging new patrons, management pushed them away. Advertising has since been introduced in the local media, but there is still a need for adequate food services in order to help increase the revenue. In my opinion, a simple breakfast and lunch menu from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. would be a move in the right direction. Len Anderson Saanich

Seen here in March, Blue Bird taxi cab driver Rakesh Kohli, secretary-treasurer of the Greater Victoria Taxi Association, holds a twenty dollar bill in his cab. The taxi association is hoping to have the Taxi Bill of Rights introduced so drivers can ask customers for a deposit before their ride to discourage riding and dashing.

News staff

Taxi drivers in the Capital Region are hoping for better protection when asking for upfront payments from customers. Pending approval from the Ministry of Transportation, all Greater Victoria cabs will be required to display the Taxi Bill of Rights in their vehicles as of Oct. 1, something Metro Vancouver cabs have been doing for the past four years. The bill clearly states the rights of drivers and passengers and helps drivers avoid being questioned when refusing service. “Right now, if a passenger says, ‘I’m not paying you unless you show me the law,’ we can’t do much about it,” said Kuldeep Singh, Greater Victoria Taxi Association president. The Taxi Bill of Rights allows drivers to point out specific regulations to irate passengers, he said. “Usually, it’s at nighttime when people are a little bit drunk and want to go somewhere (when they) don’t have the money,” said Blue Bird cab driver Rakesh Kohli. “Daytime incidents are really rare, but it does happen.” Under current provincial regulations, drivers have the option of requesting a deposit from passengers. If the passenger refuses to provide up front payment, the driver can refuse service. The Passenger Transportation Board, which regulates taxi companies in the province, was lob-

bied by the Greater Victoria Taxi Association in April to support the expansion of the Taxi Bill of Rights beyond Metro Vancouver cabs. “The board is definitely supportive of (the expansion),” said board director Jan Broocke. “It benefits both passengers and drivers and we have heard positive comments from it in the Lower Mainland.” Sandi Poulin of Yellow Cabs expects passenger collateral – unclaimed drivers licences, wallets and jewelry left behind in lieu of payment – to decrease if the Taxi Bill of Rights is rolled out across the region. “It’s like $70 to replace a drivers licence, so you would think they’d come in and pay their fare, but I’ve got lots sitting here that have been here a few months,” she said. Singh said support is unanimous for the proposed expansion. “(The board) told us they’ll have everything ready for the October meeting, that’s what they told us,” he said. A spokesperson for the Ministry of Transportation said they have not yet received a formal request to expand the Taxi Bill of Rights to Greater Victoria. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Putting the squeeze on classical tunes Accordion parade helps promote annual festival Kyle Wells News staff

What makes a loud noise when you squeeze it and loves a good bellow? No, it’s not the beginning of a bad joke. It’s an accordion. From July 19 to 22 the Sixth International Victoria Accordion Festival will be taking place around town and hosting some of the top accordion acts in the world. Friday night is Russian night and will feature a concert by worldfamous accordionist Alexander Sevastian, from Minsk, Belarus, at St. Andrew’s Church (680 Courtney St.). Sevastian has won four international accordion competitions and played with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra. On the Saturday night, Torontobased Quartetto Gelato will be performing at St. Andrew’s. The group, which features Sevastian on accordion, is a crowd favourite. On oboe, violin, cello and,

of course, accordion, along with tenor vocals, the quartet serves up a variety of world and classical music styles. “They are so famous and so popular, particularly in this city,” festival director Aleksandar Milojevic said. “We’re sure people will appreciate their concert.” Another highlight is the Accordion Parade, a first-time event for the festival. The parade kicks off from Market Square at 1 p.m. on the Saturday and will see squeezebox players coming together to play and parade through downtown to Centennial Square and back. “Just imagine if you have many orchestras together, that’s the sound that you get,” Milojevic said. All accordion players are invited to take part in the parade, but are asked to arrive at noon to prepare. Most exciting for organizers is that this year’s festival is a precursor of sorts to what will prove to be the big event in 2013. The success of the festival over the past five years was one con-

in Victoria.” For Milojevic one of the best parts of the festival is seeing the younger players getting involved and falling in love with the instrument, and seeing accordions begin to regain a popularity they haven’t enjoyed since the rise of rock and roll. “Accordions became a not very cool instrument with all the electric guitars and drums and everything that youngsters could express themselves differently with. But now it’s picking up again,” Milojevic said. “We have kids seven years old or eight years old competing, which is amazing and you don’t see everyday, everywhere.” Tickets for the Sevastian and Quartetto Gelato concerts are $25, $20 for seniors and students. The workshop is $25 per person or $30 at the door. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend Music and Long and McQuade, by phone at 778433-8700 or by email at contact@ bcaccordion.ca.

didn’t intend it to be a book that condemns, but a book that shows what it was like for people, individuals.” A Cowherd in Paradise is the moving tale of her parents – father Wong Guey Dang (19021983) and mother Jiang Tew Thloo (1911-2002). It tells the intimate family tale of her parents’ challenging marriage, years of separation because of Canada’s immigration laws and the ultimate Canadian reunion. “I’m hearing that it’s a story that resonates with a lot of immigrants and it doesn’t matter if you’re Chinese,” May said. “It’s a story that is universal because Canada is made up of so many immigrants. People are moving around the world now, so it’s a story about adapting and finding a country to become your home and finding a new and better life. I’m hearing that people are starting to identify with it … it’s been really heartening to hear that.” A Cowherd in Paradise, published by Brindle and Glass, is nearly a decade in the making and launched at Silk Road in April. It’s been making the rounds of readings and media since. She was invited to read at Word on the Street in Vancouver this September. “I know that my parents would be proud of me,” May said. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Hesjedal recovering from Tour crash Ryder Hesjedal finishes Stage 6 on Friday, 13 minutes back of the lead. A Stage 6 crash injured Hesjedal, forcing him out of the Tour de France. Casey B. Gibson Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda

Ryder Hesjedal now focusing on Olympics Travis Paterson News staff

He’s the reigning Giro d’Italia winner and is London-bound for his third Olympic Games. But even the chance to gorge – guilt free – on all the

French cuisine he can this weekend will do little to lift the spirits of Ryder Hesjedal. The wiry Victoria cyclist withdrew from the Tour de France prior to Saturday’s Stage 7 after a major crash set him, and some of his Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda teammates, 13 minutes back of the leaders on Friday’s Stage 6. Hesjedal finished the stage, but subsequently pulled out. “Its a huge disappointment,” Hesjedal said.

“I was in good form and feeling comfortable, just really settling in to the first week with an eye on the mountains.” Hesjedal said he’s now focused on the Olympics, and has resigned himself to rooting for his Garmin teammates still on the Tour. At the moment of the crash, which happened 26 kilometres from the end of Friday’s stage, Hesjedal was one of the top contenders in the hunt for the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the Tour. Dozens of riders piled-up in front of him and he sustained a hematoma to his left leg and hip. The team released a statement about the injury, saying it prevented a normal pedal stroke. “The injury would only be worsened if he tried to ride (Saturday),” team doctor Prentice Steffen said. “He needs to go home, keep working with the medical staff, and recover.” “(Garmin) still has a strong group of riders here and they will still do great things,” Hesjedal said. Garmin’s Tom Danielson, who Hesjedal helped to ninth-overall in the 2011 Tour, was also part of the crash that led to Hesjedal’s demise, and was forced to abandon mid-race. Hesjedal will represent Canada at the London Olympics in the men’s road race on July 28 and time trial on Aug. 1. sports@vicnews.com

Jr. Rocks draw New West Shamrocks the final seed in junior lacrosse playoffs Travis Paterson News staff

Coach Larry Smeltzer wants to believe his team will come together in the playoffs. The Victoria Shamrocks are the sixth and final seed to qualify for the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League postseason, drawing the third-place New Westminster Salmonbellies. “(Hockey’s) Los Angeles Kings were the final seed and they (won the Stanley Cup),” Smeltzer said. “Are we the Los Angeles of our league? We just need to come together at the right time.” The stage is certainly set, as the Shamrocks will open the first-round series on the road against the Salmonbellies, likely Saturday night. New West won all three meetings this year, 9-7 at Bear Mountain Arena, and 12-4 and 10-9 at Queen’s Arena. “It’s funny, we didn’t beat (New West) but we still hoped we would get them (in the playoffs),” Smeltzer said. “We feel they felt they were lucky to beat us. And the games are more predictable from our perspective.” There is a lingering expectation that the core of this Shamrocks team, which won the 2010 provincial intermediate-A championship, will one day make a similar run at the junior A level. But time is running out, as the core of the squad is 20 years old, and next year will be its last. The team is talented offensively, second overall in goals scored with 209. There’s also been a series of tweaks to Smeltzer’s old-is-new-again system. To start the season, all players were responsible for offence and defence, as Smeltzer moved away from the current trend of the day, which is to lean heavily on specialized players. Instead, he emphasized fast breaks and taking advantage of the other team’s line changes. The fast break has continued, but the Rocks Greg Sakaki/Black Press now use a hybrid system of sorts. “Sometimes we change it up period to period, Victoria junior Shamrocks player Conrad and sometimes parts of (the new) system are Chapman, left, grabs a loose ball against the quite hidden,” Smeltzer said. “But we’re tied for Nanaimo Timbermen during a B.C. Junior the most short handed goals (21), goalie (Cody Lacrosse League game earlier this season. Hagedorn) has 20 assists, and we’ve scored lots of goals on the breakout, so it’s there.” The Shamrocks ended the regular season with a 14-11 road loss to the first-place Coquitlam AdanSalmonbellies at Shamrocks, Saturday, acs on Sunday. 5 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena, Game 2 of Coquitlam put the Shamrocks under the gun quarterfinals best-of-three series. from the start with a 7-1 lead in the first period. It looked like the Shamrocks had already lost when Brody Eastwood scored a hat trick and the Rocks New West scored once to win the game. stormed back to outscore the Adanacs 7-3 in the “As the season went on we’ve pulled it together, second period. The Adanacs’ lead slipped to 10-9 and if we play our game plan we’ll be fine,” in the third period before they scored four more. Smeltzer said. “It’s not uncommon for us, and we’re beyond Adam Brown, Brody Eastwood and Devon Casey panicking because of it, though sometimes we get finish the season as the sixth, seventh and ninth in trouble,” Smeltzer said. overall scorers in the league, respectively.

Liquor distributors protest privatization Roszan Holmen News staff

Liquor distribution warehouse employees walk a picket line July 3 at the Government Street building. Shown are Gavin Nye, left, Don Fraser, Monika Loreth, Lisa Laffrenier and BCGEU vice-president Paul Finch.

Workers at Victoria’s liquor distribution centre drew attention to an otherwise unremarkable warehouse on Government Street last week. Picketing along Government Street, they wore signs reading BCGEU on strike. The purpose of the one-day strike on July 3 was in part to oppose the provincial government’s proposal to privatize distribution of alcohol. While the 18 workers at the Victoria plant would be protected, the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union opposes the sale of this public asset. Liquor distribution is a major source of revenue for the province, said Paul Finch, BCGEU vice-president. Additionally, he argued, the cost of the service would rise if it were privatized. The government’s request for proposals (RFPs) for a new service delivery model closed June 29. It aims to announce

the winning proponent in March 2013. “The purpose of the competitive RFP process is to seek a private-sector service provider that can operate a liquor distribution system that is more efficient than the current one,” reads a Liquor Distribution Branch fact sheet. It continues, “Our expectation is that the cost of liquor distribution will be lower. British Columbians will pay about the same amount for liquor after liquor distribution is privatized, because the province will continue to control pricing.” The strike, which took place in all three liquor distribution warehouses in B.C., was also held in response to contract negotiations, which have been ongoing for six months. “We’re just looking for a fair deal,” Finch said. The union does not support an offer by the government for raises of two per cent, and 1.5 per cent, respectively, over the next two years, he said. “We’ve seen our members’ wages deteriorate for three years due to (a wage freeze and) inflation.” Asked whether it was dangerous to demand higher salaries at a time when the government is looking to privatize a public service, Finch said “absolutely not.” “I think historically, the public in B.C. has supported the public-sector unions when we’ve asked for reasonable increases to keep up with inflation.” Finance Minister Kevin Falcon responded to the union’s strike vote by suggesting the wage offer could be withdrawn. The government describes its current negotiating mandate as “co-operative gains,” where pay increases must be financed by cost reductions in work arrangement. – with files from Tom Fletcher rholmen@vicnews.com

Oak Bay is leading the way with electronic meetings. During a special council meeting to consider variances for the proposed redevelopment of the Oak Bay Lodge site Coun. Tara Ney participated via Skype. While on vacation, her comments and vote were recorded during the June 27 meeting as part of a bylaw adopted just two days earlier. “I think it worked very well,” said Mayor Nils Jensen. “We’re launching Oak Bay council into the electronic age on a number of fronts; this is one of them.” “It reflects the fact that many of our councillors have full-time jobs,” he added. “It recognizes the role of councillor and mayor as a part-time job on behalf of the community. This is a way that you can participate if you are travelling or away on business.” The use of Skype – software that allows users to communicate in real time with voice, video and instant messaging via the Internet – during a public meeting is a first for the region. Victoria has, on occasion, had councillors participate in meetings by telephone but not Skype. “We are considering webcasting, and I expect there may be further discussions in this regard at that time,” said Katie Josephson, director of communications for the City of Victoria. Esquimalt’s bylaw allows a council member to participate electronically because of illness or injury or with permission of council. In Saanich there is a provision for electronic participation in an “urgent” situation. It has yet to be used. “It’s just for limited occasions,” Jensen said of the new Oak Bay bylaw. “The limit is three times a year at this point. If this goes well we can think of extending it as we get used to Skype and teleconferencing.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com
