Metchosin residents are looking at a 2.3 per cent tax increase this year.

In November council had prepared for a 2.9 per cent increase, so it’s lower than predicted, said Sam Weller, Metchosin’s financial advisor.

The increase will add $19.74 to taxes for the average home in the district.

The tax rise is the result of inflation, staff wages and increasing the fire chief position to full-time.

Repaving Kangaroo Road is the largest planned project.

“We will be spending

Sam Weller more money on Kangaroo Road than we do running the district,” said Weller.

The $2.2 million budget is in reserves. Last year the district spend $234,000 for repaving roads throughout Metchosin. charla@goldstream gazette.com

A new development proposed for 474 Goldstream Ave. in Colwood is beginning to make its way through the rezoning process with the city.

The proposed development involves a four-storey apartment building containing 57 units. A public park is also a part of the project.

The lot is next to another proposed development, the 468 Landmark project, which broke ground in May 2012 but has yet to start construction on its 100-unit building.

Colwood director of engineering Michael Baxter said the 474 lot and the 468 lot are the last two on the road big enough for developments such as these.

“Unless other large properties are sold and amalgamated, that’s about it for there right now,” Baxter said.

There is a possibility of heritage farmhouse foundations on the property and the developer has agreed to hire a consultant to investigate.

The development is in its early stages and will come before a public hearing before any rezoning is approved by the city. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood looks at city’s future Municipality will seek public input for multiple development plans

A pinch of green Kootenay Edwards creates a green beer getting in the St. Patrick’s Day spirit. Sunday, March 17 is St. Patrick’s Day, make sure to wear green or risk getting pinched.

olwood is taking steps to plan for the future with a unique, comprehensive approach.

Although still awaiting budget approval, staff started work on some of the city’s identified strategic priorities for the near future, including planning for traffic and economic development.

“It’s time to chart the way forward,” said Michael Baxter, director of engineering.

The terms of reference for the transportation master plan were developed with public input.

A unique aspect of the project is its co-ordination with the city’s economic development strategy, also being developed this year.

“There’s no point in having an economic development strategy that requires road service that the transKyle Wells portation master plan does not allow Reporting for,” Baxter said. “The two need to be in sync.”

Both projects are in the city’s list of top 11 strategic priorities.

Also being considered at the same time are the proposed storm water “Certainly it’s management plan, the got challenges but it’s land use bylaw update and an update to the also an opportunity to city’s official community build on the strengths plan.

Colwood’s economic development strategy which Bourhill is spearheading, is intended to help the city grow economically in a way which promotes Colwood as both a place to live and work.

An ad hoc working group, with members from council, city staff and Dan Spinner from WestShore Chamber of Commerce, will meet to determine the scope, select a consultant and monitor the project.

The plan is to arrange public open houses dealing with the multiple projects, rather than for the specific plans. Public input will be sought for the terms of reference for the economic development strategy.

“Where there are overlapping goals and priorities and actions that can be aligned between the different plans, they can be mutually supportive,” Bourhill said. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Diocese could bow out of marriage The outgoing bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C. hopes allowing same-gender blessings will become the norm for all couples in the church.

Bishop James Cowan supports ending a centuries-long tradition of civil marriages in the Anglican church and hopes its national governing body embraces the “European model” – performing only religious consecration ceremonies.

“If marriage is something that the state wants to keep an eye on, then let state officers do it,” he said. “Why should the clergy be instruments of the state, and (do it) for free?”

Currently, Anglican parishes in B.C. can conduct both civil and religious blessing ceremonies for heterosexual couples, while local parish members can choose to allow samesex blessings.

Rev. Canon Ken Gray of Colwood’s Church of the Advent, thinks the

idea of the church refraining from performing marriages altogether is a good one. Under this proposed model a couple of any makeup would get married civilly and then seek the blessing of the church.

“I think that clarifies a whole bunch of awkward situations that clergy, including myself, have faced over the years,” Gray said.

The possibility of ending churchadministered marriage was broached in 2010 at the Anglican Church of Canada’s national conference, or general synod, Cowan said. Clergy and canon lawyers weren’t able to agree to the definition of “European model”.

Anglican church leaders on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands seem split in their opinion, Cowan said, but he remains hopeful.

“I was actually surprised with the (positive) response,” he said.

The next Anglican general synod takes place in Ottawa, July 3 to 7.

Kit Pearson, left, and partner Katherine Farris, congregation members for about five years at Christ Church Cathedral, look at a stained glass window near the church balcony.

Church moves toward equality Kyle Wells and Daniel Palmer News staff

Victoria’s Christ Church Cathedral can now hold samesex blessings.

The congregation voted overwhelmingly last week to allow same-sex blessings in the church, more than a decade after Vancouver-area Anglican churches did the same.

“The Anglican church has been talking about this for more than 30 years,” Rev. Logan McMenamie says. “In some ways it’s disabled us, but it’s an important decision. It’s really a justice issue.”

The 148 to 14 vote in favour of the blessings means gay couples can now hold such ceremonies inside Christ Church Cathedral, although McMenamie still cannot conduct the legal portion of same-sex ceremonies.

“The vote was a formal recognition that we are welcome and we are equal,” says parish member Kit Pearson who, with her partner Katherine Farris, has attended the church for five years.

“Of course, it’s not absolutely equal because we can’t get married. … It’s just a step along the way.”

Pearson, 66, says she and Farris have never experienced prejudice under the cathedral’s roof.

Did you know?

James Cowan, outgoing bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C., formally authorized same-sex blessings in January. Cowan oversees parishes on southern Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands, while the Anglican diocese for Vancouver-area parishes was the first in Canada to allow same-sex blessings in 2002.

They have chosen to remain a part of the Anglican church despite its delayed embrace of homosexual equality.

“I think a church, like any other institution, is run by humans, and humans have many faults,” she says. “You could be married in the hall by a justice of the peace, then go into the church and have your marriage blessed, which is a little ridiculous.”

At St. Mary of the Incarnation in Metchosin, like all Anglican churches, the congregation will decide whether to perform blessings of same-sex relationships.

Rev. Rob Hutchison said discussion has started at the parish level but it’s not yet known what direction the church will take.

In Hutchison’s opinion, if more people will find comfort in the church, it’s a positive move.

“The church needs to be relevant,” Hutchison said. “If this helps people come to terms with who they are and how the church can fit into their lives, then I think it’s a good thing.”

As someone who refused to perform heterosexual marriages for three years in protest of not being allowed to offer a similar service to same-sex couples, Rev. Canon Ken Gray welcomes the change. His Church of the Advent in Colwood agreed at an annual meeting of parishioners on Feb. 10 to allow the blessings.

The congregation voted 59 in favour and six opposed.

“In my view that represents fairly the mood and understanding of the parish,” Gray said. “I have for a long time advocated that we offer this ministry and I’m glad we’re now at a point where we can do so.”

As per the rules of the national church organization, the couples must already be civilly married and at least one person must be baptized. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Student society booted from provincial federation Kyle Slavin News staff

The University of Victoria Students’ Society and the Canadian Federation of Students have finally parted ways for good.

On Saturday (March 9), members of the B.C. component of the federation (CFS-BC) voted to expel the UVSS, claiming payment on some $160,000 in past membership fees remain outstanding.

“Members were left with very little alternatives but to have them removed from the organi-

zation,” said Zachary Crispin, spokesperson for CFS-BC. The expulsion doesn’t come as a blow for the UVSS, which was scheduled to hold a referendum on terminating CFS-BC membership later this month.

“We are glad to see the question of UVSS membership in CFS-BC finally come to a resolution,” said UVSS chairperson Emily Rogers.

UVSS members voted to leave the national CFS in a March 2011 referendum.

According to a release from the UVSS, the student society

believed “that its membership in the provincial component of the CFS, the CFS-BC, had also come to an end” with the 2011 referendum. But the CFS-BC disagreed, and a hearing in the B.C. Supreme Court in 2012 supported the federation’s position.

Crispin says the weekend decision stems from current UVSS directors “refusing to acknowledge the debt.”

Rogers says that despite cutting ties with the CFS, “the UVSS will continue to work on postsecondary issues.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

They will provide insight into what motivates the groundswell of opposition of British Columbians. The talk will follow screening of the surfing documentary Groundswell.

“Groundswell documents not only a surfing adventure, but also a movement of growing and powerful opposition,” said Chris Darimont, UVic assistant geography professor and Hakai-Raincoast conservation scholar.

“It beautifully and profoundly captures the spirit of this unspoiled coast and the passion of the Heiltsuk First Nation people.”

OUR VIEW

Eroding pillars of the church L

ast week, parishioners at the Anglican Christ Church Cathedral voted to allow the blessing of same-sex marriages, an unusually progressive move for a mainstream faith.

The Anglican Church, and this congregation in particular, understand the value of embracing people equally, and to a certain degree, rejecting arbitrary and antiquated doctrines that install bigotry as part of faith.

Whether this will help or further erode support for the Anglican Church in the Capital Region remains to be seen. In past years, the Victoria diocese has struggled to keep an audience. In January 2010 Anglican Diocese of B.C. announced it would close 19 of its churches in Greater Victoria largely due to declining membership, And notably in 2008, Anglican parishioners in Metchosin kicked up an angry fuss – and eventually separated from the church – when the Anglican Church of Canada started sending signals that it would bless same-sex unions, as indeed it does now.

Allowing same-sex blessings – which is strictly symbolic, as opposed to a legal church wedding ceremony – cracks open the door for progressive equality within the church.

But James Cowan, the outgoing bishop of the Anglican Diocese of B.C., says the church should get out of the marriage business altogether and leave all legal aspects of marriage in the hands of the state.

This is all fine and well, but Anglicans need to tread carefully about the messaging behind ditching legal marriage ceremonies.

Marrying and burying, so to speak, are two traditional tenets of churches the world over.

Even more than that, bailing on legal marriage ceremonies, especially around the same time as adopting same-sex blessings, could open the door to bigotry and accusations that same-sex rights led to the downfall of marriage in church.

Allowing church blessings for all people is the right thing to do, but the Anglican Church needs to be mindful of unintended consequences of trying to level the playing field for marriage ceremonies.

And what a politician. He’s Former U.S. President Jimmy a vegetarian who lives in his Carter stepped down after wife’s ramshackle farmhouse one term, was roundly where they work together in ridiculed by popular media, the fields growing flowers. He yet continued to dedicate his turned down the opportunity life to promoting justice and to move into the presidential eliminating poverty around palace in Montevideo, the world. Nelson Mandela is preferring to stay on the another incredible role model farm, which is linked to the

capital city by a dirt road.

Under Uruguay’s law, elected officials must declare their personal wealth. In 2010, Mujica’s was $1,800, the value of the 1987 Volkswagen beetle he drives. When he added a share of his wife’s assets – her house, land and tractor – it brought his declared family wealth to $215,000.

Mujica receives $12,000 a month as president but donates 90 per cent of it to the poor and small businesses. “I can live well with what I have,” he said.

“I’m called ‘the poorest president’, but I don’t feel poor. Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle, and always want more and more.”

At Rio+20, the United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development in June 2012, Mujica stated: “We’ve been talking all afternoon about sustainable development – to get the masses out of poverty.

But what are we thinking?

Do we want the model of development and consumption of the rich countries? I ask you now: What would happen to this planet if Indians would have the same proportion of cars per household as Germans?

How much oxygen would we have left? Does this planet have enough resources so seven or eight billion can have the same level of consumption and waste that today is seen in rich societies? It is this level of hyper-consumption that is harming our planet.”

Mujica said most world leaders have a “blind obsession to achieve growth with consumption, as if the contrary would mean the end of the world.”

He’s hit a bit of a bump in popularity, dropping below 50 per cent for refusing to veto a bill legalizing abortion before 12 weeks (as did all his predecessors) and supporting a debate on legalization of marijuana use that would give the state a monopoly over its trade. Mujica pointed out: “Consumption of cannabis is not the most worrying thing; drug-dealing is the real problem.”

Mujica isn’t worried about the drop in popularity. It’s part of politics, and besides, he’s 77 and can’t run again in 2014.

He’s a good role model with wise, enduring values, and an inspiration for people around the world. davidsuzuki.org.

LETTERS MLA pensions out of touch with real world There is no need to shed tears for any Member of the Legislative Assembly who might lose their job in the upcoming provincial election.

Why, you ask? Well, defeated honourable members will soon shed their own tears when they realize they will soon return to the real world, where they may no longer be able to enjoy the many outrageous benefits they have grown accustomed to as legislators.

They will no longer receive a generous salary, access to expense accounts so protected that even the auditor general cannot scrutinize them properly, limited attendance in the legislature – only when the house is in session – and of course, an unheard of goldplated pension if they have served six years or more.

One former cabinet minister who announced he would not run in the next election, as he wanted to spend more time with his family, will receive approximately $89,000 per

year, having served a mere 17 years.

Compare this affluent arrangement with that of countless retired fixed-income senior citizens in Victoria who worked not for 17 years, but a period of 30 to 40 years.

They now struggle to survive on a meagre Canada Old Age Pension plus a flexible CPP account, giving them a total of roughly $15,000 per year.

If you still must shed a tear, do so for the poor B.C. taxpayers who must shoulder the burden and pay for these atrocious benefits that have been afforded to our politicians.

Martin Battle Victoria

Aid and mining; now’s our chance to make a difference The world was recently shocked by the news of South African police gunning down protesting mine workers.

But the untold story is more insidious and far more lethal.

South Africa’s mining industry is a hotbed of tuberculosis infection, due to crowded and unhealthy working conditions.

One third of all new South African TB cases arises in the mines, adding three-quarters of a million sufferers each year. It is estimated that every infected mine worker spreads the disease to 15 other people.

Although TB cost only $20 per person to treat, infection is often a death sentence for these people and their families.

Canada has long been a leader in battling TB by working with The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria, which has treated almost 10 million cases of TB. March 24 is world TB day, and this year the Global Fund is set for replenishment. The federal government’s new direction in aid is to link it to mining development.

Here’s a chance for them to show true leadership in this regard and help South Africa’s mining industry rid itself of

the plague of TB. This year, Canada must not only renew but increase our commitment to the Global fund.

Sands Funeral Chapels offers care, compassion & experience

Sands Funeral Chapels have been serving Greater Victoria for 100 years. It’s that history of compassion and community involvement that brought manager Julie Evans to work in the West Shore.

“I have passion for what I do and compassion for those I serve,” she says.

With 16 years in the industry, Julie is a Resolve Through Sharing counsellor and an Arbor Award of Excellence recipient. “Being a funeral director is so much more to me than making arrangements. It’s a privilege to be entrusted with the care of families’ loved ones.”

She and her two-year-old daughter, who came to Victoria to be near family, are excited to be part of the community. “Stop me on the street. Ask me any question.

Drop in for tea. I would love to get to know you.”

Julie founded the annual Pet Blessing Ceremony and initiated a “Walk and Talk” allowing people to chat with experts in different fields as they get some exercise. After a month in New Orleans following Hurricane Katrina, she also offers seminars for emergency services.

Visit Sands Funeral Chapel & Reception Centre at 317 Goldstream Ave. and see their Facebook page for free community events.

They do this by funding ground-breaking programs and services for women and girls across the country.

Through the work of the Canadian Women’s Foundation, survivors of abuse rebuild their lives after violence and young people learn about healthy relationships to stop the violence; women learn a skilled trade, start a small business, or get work experience to move themselves out of poverty; and girls question stereotypes and learn to believe in themselves. This creates a ripple effect, helping to create safer families, stronger communities, and a more prosperous society for all.

For centuries, artists have been capturing emotional, hard-fought moments in sport through beautifully hand-crafted paintings, sculptures and sketches.

But Victoria-born painter Jayné Childs realized one sport – a favourite Canadian pastime – was noticeably absent from the artistic world.

“I never got in to curling – it was cold; my body doesn’t like the cold. But it’s a really big sport, especially in this part of the country,” she says from her home in Maryfield, Sask. “Curling is such a community heartbeat.”

Childs’ first foray into painting the sport was in February 2011 when curler Russ Howard came to her small Saskatchewan town.

“I decided to see if I could draw anymore.

Childs will be the artist in residence at the Fairmont Empress Hotel from March 23 to April 8, showcasing her curling portfolio in the hotel’s conservatory.

While in Victoria, she plans to attend some of the draws to photograph more intimate moments in the sport, which she’ll then translate to canvas. She plans to have three or four paintings on the go, as she works at the Empress.

“There’s nothing like being in the live rink and being able to get their personality, and the personality that I’m able to really paint in their champion character,” Childs said.

Guild quilts for charity Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Visitors will put sole to pedal to sew for the soul at the fourth It Started With a Stitch exhibition by the Westshore Quilters’ Guild.

“We just invite people to come and sit down at machines and do some stitching,” explained organizer Darlene Masson. “It’s nice to have other people involved in some of the other things we do.”

It’s the second time they’ve had show guests participate in the creation of quilts for the guild’s main charity, Cridge Transition House for Women.

The goal is to complete at least four quilts.

“If you have participation like

that more people want to get involved,” Masson said. “People are more prepared to join in and it lets people know (quilting is) for all ages. This is not just for retirees and grannies that like to sew. We have a lot of younger people involved in the guild.”

It’s also an opportunity to fulfill other charity obligations members of the guild pursue, from creating quilts to replace those at Victoria Hospice to quilts for wounded Canadian Forces members.

“The show is there to let everybody know what the guild is all about and also this is one of the ways we can earn money toward what we do for donations that go out to these places,” Masson said.

The 136 members hail from the West Shore to James Bay to Central Saanich and will come together for the show and sale that will feature a fan favourite vote in each quilt category. A Name That Movie block challenge will test knowledge of popular movies. Children can participate in a scavenger hunt and vendor booths and a guild store will round out the event.

It Started with a Stitch runs March 22 to 24 at Eagle Ridge Community Centre, 1089 Langford Pkwy. Open Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., admission is $6 for the weekend.

Vikes track down gold at CIS championships UVic Vikes 600-metre specialist Rachel Francois won her second CIS gold medallist in the event at the CIS national track championships in Edmonton last weekend.

Over the course of the three-day meet the middle-distance focused Vikes earned two gold medals and two bronze.

The Vikes women’s 4x800m team won gold.

The same team then won its first CIS medal in the 4x400m, taking bronze, with Jenica Moore, Grace Annear, Kendra Pomfret and Francois at anchor in that race. Pomfret also medaled with third in the 1,000m. sports@vicnews.com

It’s not the ideal way to enter the playoffs.

The Victoria Grizzlies haven’t won in six games, even if three of the past four losses did come in overtime.

And as the puck drops at Bear Mountain Arena tonight (March 15) for Game 1 of the BCHL best-of-five playoff series versus the Powell River Kings, it will mark a month since the Grizzlies’ last win at home, Feb. 16 over the Alberni Valley Bulldogs.

But playoffs are a clean slate, a time to start over.

“I know (the Kings) will be well prepared to make life miserable for their opponents,” said Grizzlies coach and general manager Bill Bestwick.

The coach of the year winner anticipates a well-prepared Kings team under fellow coach of the year winner Kent Lewis, who won in 2009 and 2011. “(The Kings) will compete hard and I’m sure they’re not satisfied with their regular season. You can make amends of a season real quick in a five-game series.”

The season hasn’t been the same for the Grizzlies since Gerry Fitzgerald went down for good in January, though the team hung on to finish atop the Island division But the Fitzgerald triplets, of which the Grizz were recently down to one, are back to two today as Leo returns to form a top line with brother Myles and David Mazurek.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Bill Bestwick on Grizz bench. misconducts this season will keep Turner Lawson out until late in the series, or second round, should the Grizzlies win. Defenceman Jaden Schmeisser will return for Game 2 for a fifth fighting major of the season against Alberni on Saturday. Defenceman Blake Thompson can return for Game 3, as he is banned two games for a blow to the head against Alberni.

Brady Rouleau will start in net for the Grizzlies.

“Our goaltending has been challenged down the stretch. We’re leaning on Brady to get us our first win on Friday night and go from there,” Bestwick said.

“In a best of five, obviously home ice advantage is critical and if you falter there’s no margin for error.”

Coach of the year The BCHL awards were released earlier this week naming Bill Bestwick the Coastal conference Coach of the Year and defenceman D.J. Jones to the Coastal All-Star team.

It’s Bestwick’s third time winning the award, having won it with the Nanaimo Clippers in 2005 and 2008.

The last Victoria coach to win it was Campbell Blair with the Grizzlies (Salsa) in 2000.

Bestwick is heralded for turning a Griz-

zlies roster, stripped of its assets and with little in the way of prospects, into a BCHL contender.

Key acquisitions captain Zach Urban from the Penticton Vees and the Fitzgerald triplets from the Prince George Spruce Kings led the turnaround.

Bestwick last faced the Kings in the playoffs with the Clippers in 2008. The Clippers swept the best-of-seven series in four straight.

The Grizzlies last faced the Kings in the second round of the 2011 playoffs.

The Kings roared back from being down 3-1 in the series, rallying off a Game 5 overtime win.

Victoria trio leads Vees Wade Murphy, a former Victoria Grizzlies player from Saanich, was also named a BCHL all-star.

Murphy plays for the Penticton Vees which finished first in the Interior division. He won the RBC Cup national championship with the Vees last year.

This year he was overall in BCHL scoring with 23 goals and 47 assists for 70 points, but was second in points per game average. He missed games while playing for Canada at the World Junior A Challenge.

The Vees’ goaltending duo of Chad Katunar and Nic Renyard, both from Victoria, will share the Wally Forslund Award as the Top Goaltending Tandem with the best combined goals-against average of 2.33 per game. sports@vicnews.com

Rink of Dreams hockey carnival at the Bear Hockey helps terminally ill kids Travis Paterson News staff

Back for a third year, the MacQuarie Rink of Dreams 24-hour charity hockey game has become a highlight on the annual rec league calendar.

There are returning teams and returning players, making the event successful, said organizer Harp Sandhu.

“Every year I feel the need to remind everyone this is not a ‘leave-your-house-late’ kind of beer league hockey game,” he added.

“Don’t say goodbye to your family, bring your family!”

The noon-to-noon, March 23 to 24 event at Bear Mountain Arena is a hockey carnival with a beer garden from noon to 11 p.m. and food vendors during the day.

There’s tons of stuff for kids, Marty the Marmot and other entertainment from noon till 3 p.m.

On the ice, it’s light versus dark in a game that almost makes it 24-hours around the clock (teams and players are invited to stay during the wee hours, but its optional). Every hour two new teams take the ice and the score is cumulative.

Cutoff for adults to signup has passed but there’s still a few

Travis Paterson/News staff

Harp Sandhu spots for kids open.

Funds raised at the event have been matched by the MacQuarie Group Foundation bringing the total to nearly $200,000 through the first two years, all of it going to the Victoria-based Help Fill A Dream Foundation.

It also happens to an “unofficial” hockey day in Canada, with five different Canadian teams playing on the big screen from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m., including the Vancouver Canucks at 1 p.m.

There are dozens of quality prizes donated from the community up for grabs with the spin of the big wheel, a new feature, and a couple of other fresh takes on the prize raffles.

has dedicated puck-chuckers, so ticket buyers needn’t worry about staying if home is calling.

One lucky adult hockey player will also get their name drawn to shoot for a new Subaru XV Crosstrek. To win, the player must score 16 of 20 pucks in 20 seconds, into the far net from their blue line.

And in addition to the many Canucks and Victoria Royals tickets is the debut of this year’s Hat Trick Raffle, a trip for two with return Helijet return travel, prime seats to see the Vancouver Canucks versus rival Chicago Blackhawks on April 22, and two nights at the five-star Hotel Georgia. It also includes two spots at an exclusive Canucks autism fundraiser put on by MacQuarie Vancouver. Canucks general and assistant general manager and alumni players sit among the guests. It’s a total value of $3,000.

Tickets are $20 each or three for $50 with only 500 tickets being sold.

Second prize for the Hat Trick Raffle is dinner for two at Il Terrarzzo. Third place wins two MacQuarie branded composite hockey sticks, made by Flarow.

Kids play Sunday morning, followed by the closing ceremonies at 11 a.m. and a media game.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of conďŹ dence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.

And even better... there are no collections required.

Province growls at brewery tax loophole Refillable bottles likely to cost more come April Daniel Palmer News staff

It’s Friday afternoon at the corner of Bridge and David streets in Victoria’s Rock Bay neighbourhood.

Five-tonne trucks rumble by steel-fenced industrial warehouses, while a steady rush of patrons dutifully file through unmarked doors carrying what look like old moonshine bottles.

Inside, staff at the neighbouring Hoyne and Driftwood breweries can barely keep pace with demand for a 19th-century tradition that’s been revived in recent years, a result of the proliferation of craft brewing in the Capital Region.

Sold by most breweries for a one-time price of $5, growlers are 1.8-litre glass jugs that can be filled and refilled for about $10 onsite.

While only slightly cheaper than an average six-pack at the liquor store, growler use has exploded in popularity for obvious reasons, said Gary Lindsay, Driftwood brewery owner.

“It’s like going to a bakery to get your bread or to a marketplace that has their own

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Gary Lindsay, owner of Driftwood Brewery in the Rock Bay neighbourhood, shows one of the popular growler bottles and a glass of beer by the bottling line in his Victoria brewery. farm,” Lindsay said. “Anything that connects people to the source of what they’re buying, it means a lot more to them.”

Brewery owners also keep more revenue from growler sales.

B.C.’s Liquor Distribution Branch takes a lower mark-up on draught than on packaged beer sales, a difference of 28 cents per litre.

But on April 1, the LDB will begin siphoning those savings

back into government coffers, arguing patrons are consuming the beer off-site so the draught rate shouldn’t apply.

Local brewers can’t predict if the change will impact their bottom line, but the cost will undoubtedly be passed on to the customer.

That doesn’t bode well for brewery regulars like Peggy Leonard, a 40-something Victoria

resident who fills up two growlers every weekend.

“If I’m going to somebody’s house, I’ll bring a growler and everybody wants to try it,” Leonard said, adding a higher price may impact her love for takeaway draught.

The LDB levy chips away at craft brewery revenue at a time when most are looking to expand to bigger markets.

Last weekend

“Like any other business in the food and beverage industry, it’s a game of nickels and dimes,” said John Fitterer, sales and marketing manager at Lighthouse Brewing Company. “Everyone’s trying to make a 10 to 15 per cent bottom line.”

Lighthouse plans to open its first growler and tasting room this week after a 6,000-square-foot expansion.

But other breweries like Phillips, Vancouver Island, Hoyne, Driftwood, Moon Under Water, Spinnaker’s and Canoe have been providing growler sales for varying periods, and all have seen a steady increase in onsite sales.

“Part of the idea is it’s environmentally friendly to use the same growler, and it’s also really cost-efficient for the people buying it, and it’s great for us, because we don’t have to package product to sell it,” said Chelsea Walker, co-owner of Moon Under Water brewpub.

In response to the planned mark-up, The Campaign for Real Ale Society of British Columbia is circulating an online petition that states the growler is at risk of becoming “an endangered species” in the province.

“This tax hike will harm the growth of this industry and the culture of B.C.,” it says.

Additions changing the media landscape in Victoria Don Descoteau News staff

Viewers and readers might not notice much difference when they flip on CHEK-TV or pick up the TimesColonist newspaper.

But both media outlets made big changes at the top recently, one slightly more controversial than the other.

CHEK has a new president, but Roy Gardner is a familiar face, a man who spent 15 years with the station in the 1970s and ’80s. He replaces John Pollard, who helped a group of employees, along with other investors, buy the station from CanWest Global in 2009, averting its closure.

At the Times-Colonist, David Radler is the

new acting publisher.

He replaces Bob McKenzie, who recently stepped down after 46 years in the business.

Radler, who has 40 years’ experience overseeing dailies, is known as a man with a history of trimming jobs to shore up the bottom line of a publication or company, said David Black, associate professor of communication and culture at Royal Roads University (no relation to the Black Press co-owner of the same name, or Conrad Black).

Despite media reports that Radler has no plans to make job cuts at the TC, Black worries what his installation – however temporary – might do to morale at the daily.

However, revenues for network television have remained fairly

constant in this country, while newspaper revenues in general have not.

The way readers consume information is becoming increasingly integrated to online sources, Black said.

He noted the TimesColonist, in a mid-sized market such as Victoria, faces readership and business challenges not only from online sources, but from community newspapers such as those published by Black Press.

And the question remains whether Greater Victoria can support two TV stations, with CTV 2 generating its own following in the region and beyond.

Both CHEK and the Times-Colonist share the problem of a small

advertising base in this market and the strength of Victoria being highly educated and relatively affluent, Black said.

Despite being in a market with

a high concentration of media – and a highly competitive one – creatively, the two properties are in a beneficial place, he said.

“We have Victoria punching above its weight with respect to being a place of media innovation in Canada.� editor@vicnews.com
