Roadwork deferred due to bridge cost Craigflower rebuild bid comes in over budget Kyle Slavin News staff
A plan to rebuild Cook Street, between Quadra Street and Maplewood Road, will be put on hold after build costs for the new Craigflower Bridge jumped by $2.2 million. Saanich and View Royal, which share ownership of the bridge, are each on the hook to N FR O

find $1.1 million more than they originally budgeted for. “The tenders came in over budget because of the pilings and what (the contractor feels) is beneath the surface,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. “On the other hand, Saanich taxpayers should still be pleased we’ve got a $13.2-million bridge that’s being funded $11.05 million from other sources, which is incredible.” Saanich is finding its portion by delaying the Cook Street upgrade a year, and using the money previously budgeted there.

Both municipalities last week awarded the bridge contract to Don Mann Construction Ltd. for $15,896,000. The contract also includes major roadwork on either side of the bridge. The 80-year-old, timber-beam Craigflower Bridge is slated to be replaced by a three-lane steel bridge. Construction will begin in April and is expected to last six months. When complete, the Cook Street upgrade, called a “complete street project,” will see the road become more pedestrian and bike friendly. kslavin@saanichnews.com

The first of many formal discussions on the future of Panama Flats was held Monday night, as Saanich council looks at increasing its footprint in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Currently 21 acres of the 66-acre site is protected, but Saanich staff sought council approval to add up to another 35 acres to the ALR. “The reason for buying it was floodplain (for the Colquitz River) and agricultural land,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard before the meeting, held after the News’ press deadline. “It wasn’t to create a soccer field – not that anyone’s suggesting it. I want to make sure it’s not an option, though. There’s activities that might be nice to have, but I wouldn’t want to be tempted to stray from the principles of our floodplain and agricultural land that are established.” Saanich’s planning supervisor Neil Findlow advised that putting new land in the ALR, before a plan for Panama Flats is established, could potentially prove problematic. “Once the land is included into the Agricultural Land Reserve, land use is restricted, and amendments to Agricultural Land Reserve boundaries can be both difficult and time consuming,” he wrote.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Saanich worker’s union lands contract The union representing some 1,200 employees in Saanich ratified a collective agreement last week that includes a 7.25 per cent wage increase over four years. The agreement for the members of CUPE local 2011 expires Dec. 31, 2015. “We’re very pleased with the security of a four-year agreement. That’s going to give Saanich the ability to move forward and make plans,” said John Horsfield, CUPE national staff representative. The 7.25-per-cent increase is in line with other municipal unions in the province, Horsfield said. Municipalities are not covered by the province’s co-operative gains mandate that saw most public sector unions agree to an overall four per cent increase over four years. CUPE local 2011 represents most municipal employees in Saanich, except police officers and firefighters.
Municipality offers mobile website It’s much easier now to navigate municipal issues, as Saanich’s website has become mobile-electronics friendly. The redesigned site, which is optimized to work on all cellphones, tablets and desktop computers, is easy to use and allows residents to quickly search for and find the information they need.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard stands on a 75-year-old bridge at Wilkinson Road near Lindsay Street that will be replaced as part of a larger project to improve Wilkinson Road for cyclists and pedestrians, thanks to a $1.75 million federal grant.
Feds fund Wilkinson Road upgrades Kyle Slavin News staff
A $2.5-million upgrade to Wilkinson Road will make it easier to walk and bike along the notoriously traffic-heavy street. Saanich last week received a $1.75 million contribution to pay for most of the project through the Federal Gas Tax Fund. Taxpayers will be on the hook for $250,000 and development cost charges will pay the remaining $500,000. The upgrade will see the installations of bike lanes from Mann
Avenue to Lindsay Street, as well as extensions and improvements of sidewalks along Wilkinson. A 75-year-old pedestrian bridge near Lindsay Road will also be widened. “This is replacing old infrastructure and making it new. This is not increasing the road capacity, this is not going to solve a traffic jam problem,” said Mayor Frank Leonard. “We’ve got an old bridge, we’ve got old infrastructure, and if we don’t deal with it, the next generation of taxpayers would either
have a big bill or failed bridge. We can turn it into an asset for many decades to come.” The project also includes plans for a rain garden that will treat stormwater before it enters the nearby Colquitz River. As well, the bike lanes will connect with Saanich’s Centennial Trail. There will come a day when the five-corners intersection – where Wilkinson meets Hastings Street and Interurban Road – is the focus of an upgrade, but Leonard stresses that this project isn’t it. “Right now there’s no consensus
and no budget. Obviously because of that we can’t just wait around (for those to be in place) and let the bridge rot away in the meantime,” he said. Saanich isn’t new to receiving money from the Gas Tax Fund. A joint request with View Royal in 2011 earned the two municipalities $10 million to rebuild the Craigflower Bridge. Saanich engineers are now working on a detailed design of the project, which will be followed by public consultation. Physical work may not begin until 2014 or
Alert residents help thwart vehicle break-ins Edward Hill News staff
The investment of a security camera paid off for a Saanich apartment building after residents helped nab two young people trying to break into cars. The 3200-block Rutledge St. complex installed a camera in its secured underground garage in recent weeks due to a
rash of vehicle break-ins. One of those residents was diligently watching the live surveillance feed at 3:30 a.m. last Thursday morning while working out of town, and spotted two people walk into the garage and start peering into vehicles. That person called up two residents at the apartment, who called Saanich police. “The residents went downstairs and
made some noise and opened the garage door,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “The suspects went into hiding, and the police arrived right behind.” Police arrested a 21-year-old Saanich man for breaking and entering. He had break-in tools and bear spray in his possession, and was breaching court ordered conditions. A building resident soon spotted the sec-
ond suspect hiding in another part of the garage – a 17-year-old girl from Colwood, who was also breaking court ordered conditions. “Without the assistance of the public in this case, it is possible that the suspects may have eluded capture and committed further crime throughout the early morning hours,” Eassie said. editor@saanichnews.com

The society is hosting its annual fossil fair at the Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary this Saturday and Sunday.
Toothy remains of ancient ‘hippos’ highlight fossil fair Edward Hill News staff
As a long-extinct blubbery hippo-like aquatic beast, one day you’re munching on marsh grass on the California coast, and then 15 million years later, your tooth is for sale at flea market in Victoria. Such is the cycle of life. Last year a member of the Victoria Palaeontology Society happened across the big black molar with it’s six distinct cusps at a garage sale, and rescued it for the Royal B.C. Museum. The tooth will be one of the highlights at this weekend’s Fossil Fair, an event that will fill the Swan Lake nature house with hundreds of bones and fossils reaching back 550 million years ago to relatively recently – 10,000 years ago the end of the last Ice Age. The rescued molar belonged to a plant eating marine mammal distantly linked to manatees and sea cows, and was originally found in California. “The tooth is dramatic and represents the group as a

whole,” said Tom Cockburn, a research associate with the RBCM and a member of the Victoria Palaeontology Society. A molar tooth of a similar creature was found in the Sooke area in the 1920s by Ira Cornwall. That species was named Cornwallis sookensis and is dated to about 25 million years old. A cast of that tooth will also be on display courtesy of the RBCM. “These are big aquatic mammals which went on land too, for feeding and foraging,” Cockburn said. “They look like hippos and they may be distantly related to hippos.” These sea mammals would have lived on the shores of Vancouver Island and B.C. as long ago as 25 million years ago, which didn’t look a great deal different from now, although it may have been warmer. People camping found bones of another similar species in a riverbed leading to Sombrio Beach in 2007, and turned them over to the museum. Out of that discovery, Cockburn and Brian Beatty of the

New York College of Osteopathic Medicine, have authored a paper on the creature, called Behemotops, which is undergoing a peer review in a scientific journal. “Behemotops would have spent a lot of time in the water, but its feet show it would definitely walk on land,” Cockburn said. “We think it would come out (of the ocean) to feed on marsh grass and in estuaries. It would look about the size of a sea lion size,” he said. “It’s not a little guy, but it’s not hippo sized either.” Among the dinosaur bones and creatures on display, this year the society is showing the tire-sized fossil of a giant extinct cephalopod alongside a life sized artist rendering of the creature, tentacles and all. The fossil fair runs March 23 and 24, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., at Swan Lake Christmas Hill Nature Sanctuary 3873 Swan Lake Rd.

Vision Matters Dr. Charles Simons
Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Sports & Eye Injuries With the arrival of spring and summer comes a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an elbow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fingernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fly-ball. Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fist, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye. More severe blunt trauma may cause further damage to important eye structures such as the retina or optic nerve, and can result in vision loss. Penetrating injuries occur when an object pierces the eye. Symptoms include vision loss, bleeding on the surface of the eye and foreign objects imbedded in the eye. Prompt treatment is the key to preserving your vision. With most eye injuries, it is best to have them immediately examined by an optometrist. An exception would be something sticking into the eye. Leave the object in place and go directly to Emergency. This summer, when you or your loved ones take to the field, be sure to protect your eyes with appropriate sports eyewear. Though they do not completely eliminate the eye injury, they will greatly reduce it.

Mayor envisions trails, garden plots for Flats Continued from Page A1
The lack of a plan isn’t a major deterrent, Leonard said. While that may be true, and public consultation on the long-term plan has yet to begin, he said whatever uses for the land are ultimately determined, they won’t be destructive or invasive. “It might be trails leading to an allotment garden (or the like),� he said. “You do the plan based on the ALR. You don’t compromise agricultural land because you think you have a parks and rec plan.� Findlow’s recommendation to council was to provide a clear idea to staff just how much of the land should be part of an application to be included in the ALR. Saanich announced a $2.4-million deal to purchase Panama Flats from Island Berry Co. in February 2011. Public consultation will happen later this year, and will allow residents to provide input on how exactly the newly acquired Saanich land will be used. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Black Press is celebrating local women in business with a special event and newspaper supplement full of fresh ideas for spring. Arriving at your door next week will be an award-winning special section in your Black Press community newspaper, like the Saanich News. In it find entertaining and informative feature articles, the Milestone Woman series profiling interesting local women at different stages of life and career, and advertising profiles that allow local women to tell their stories. Complementing the special section is the Women in Business spring gala. With premier sponsor Thrifty Foods, and event sponsors Island Savings, Level Ground Trading, Aveda Institute and Purdy’s Chocolates, Black Press will welcome guests to the Oak Bay Beach Hotel March 27. In addition to favourite mainstays like the spring and summer fashion preview with Mayfair Fashion Stylist Bonnie Pollard and a look at the season’s key makeup trends with the Aveda Institute’s Roxana Da Costa, Black Press is also welcoming a few innovations as well. Organizers are excited to present “5 for 5� – featuring five prominent local women in business who after a brief introduction will participate in a moderator-led panel discussion and questionand-answer session. Joining Black Press Group publisher Penny Sakamoto will be four noted Victoria business and media representatives. In addition to chocolate tasting with Purdy’s Chocolates, gala guests will also learn about the Victoria-based David Foster Foundation, which helps families across Canada whose children are undergoing life-saving organ transplants. In the United States, the organization actively raises awareness about the need for organ donation. Black Press brings the special section and gala to Greater Victoria women in business twice a year. Looking ahead, this fall will also feature the annual Black Press Women in Business Awards, including Rising Star, Above and Beyond, Eco-Entrepreneur and Business Owner of the Year, so it’s time to start thinking about the women making a difference in business and their community. In addition to home delivery of the Black Press Women in Business section, readers can read online through e-editions atvicnews.com. editor@vicnews.com

Ready to rock region’s house I
t’s high season for on-ice sports around the Capital Region, whether you’re a hockey fan or an aficionado of the rockin’ sport of curling. While Victoria might be known more for its love of hockey, it’s curling that has the upper hand in upcoming events. Starting today (March 20) at the Esquimalt Archie Browning Sports Centre, the Victoria rink of Neil Dangerfield will be out to earn some respect from some of the top names in Canadian curling, during the eighth Victoria Curling Classic. With the Classic draw winding up Sunday on the hockey ice, the high-flying Victoria Cougars will start their Vancouver Island Junior B championship final in Courtenay on Saturday against Comox Valley. The teams resume the series in Esquimalt next Tuesday, giving local fans a chance to cheer the Cats on. Meanwhile, the Victoria Royals, who beat Everett twice to end the regular season, open the Western Hockey League playoffs Friday in Kamloops. However, the boys in blue-and-white took a scheduling nose hit from the 2013 Ford World Men’s Curling Championships. The Ford Worlds are back in Victoria for the first time since 2005, when the competition helped christen the newly opened SaveOn-Foods Memorial Centre. The event gets underway March 30 and promises plenty of exciting action, with Brad Jacobs’ Northern Ontario rink representing Canada. With the worlds scheduled through April 7, the Royals’ first-round playoff games, March 26 and 28, and April 1 if necessary, will be played at 2,780-seat Bear Mountain Arena. It’s a fine venue in its own right, but a far cry from the potentially thunderous 7,000-seat Save-On Centre. If the Royals can get by the Blazers – the teams went 4-4 in head-to-head games this season – they can hope for a return to the familiar confines of Save-On for round 2. Regardless, we encourage Greater Victoria fans to get out and enjoy the games, whatever your fancy. It’s a chance to be part of the greater community and support local sporting events.

released 2010 report by Auditor General John Doyle, which condemned a five-year program of skimming money from NDP constituency office budgets all over the province and using it for political work. In a nice bit of symmetry, much of the more than $400,000 was spent to put three-time candidate Gabriel Yiu on the NDP caucus payroll. Yiu’s Vancouver-Fraserview candidate page boasts of his ethnic outreach work, which included tirelessly warning B.C.’s Chinese community about the evils of the harmonized sales tax. In fact, it was the NDP-Yiu operation that inspired a B.C. Liberal copycat plan. The NDP quietly stopped the budget skimming after Doyle pointed out the blindingly obvious, which is that constituency funds are to serve constituents and are not to be diverted to political organizing. It was kept under wraps by the secretive Legislative Assembly Management Committee. This is the B.C. Liberal-NDP co-managed trough of undocumented MLA expenses and other questionable payments that Doyle has only recently dragged into the light. Both of these schemes have the same stink. Both are intentional abuse of taxpayers’ money for the political gain of the dominant parties. There is no moral high ground for either of them. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Shelbourne can be improved now Re: Saanich residents call for wider Shelbourne Street (News, March 13) I was surprised Saanich News reported “Saanich residents call for wider Shelbourne Street.” Many residents, it would appear, are being persuaded to support the most costly, least likely “solution” – it could take years for Saanich to purchase land from property owners. I do not accept a friendlier Shelbourne must be a deferred dream. If so, I would not have volunteered on the citizen stakeholder committee. We must first deal with reality. Shelbourne Street is not a vehicle corridor. A corridor is like McKenzie Avenue, which delivers a large volume of daily traffic to the University of Victoria, a single destination. Most traffic arriving on Shelbourne soon turns left or right for various shopping centres, colleges, schools or Royal Jubilee Hospital. Shelbourne is a traffic distributor. To solve the tough problems we face together (driving, walking, cycling and public transit) we must build adaptive capacity for positive change. All decisions are about the future – which will not be an extension of the past. The best decision-makers are those with foresight, who have the capacity to learn, reason, and better understand current trends. The decision test is mutual gain (win-win) with a net public benefit. Innovators call this “finding the hidden opportunity.” For Shelbourne, the opportunity for a more livable community, will for now, remain hidden. Ray Travers Saanich
Cedar Hill golf deserves subsidy Re: Golf course shouldn’t be subsidized by taxpayers (Letters, March 6) Cedar Hill Golf Course, which I have not played for some years, is a public golf course, a part of our community.
I rarely frequent the library nor the community centres with swimming pool and fitness gym. I am not against subsidizing those public venues. Cedar Hill falls in the same genre. It should receive same treatment as other community centres which are subsidized. Roy Katsuyama Saanich
Reducing speed improves community There are plenty of arguments against the idea of reducing speed in towns and cities. Most of them are based on the notion that there will be a loss of personal freedom or that travel time will be significantly compromised. None of them have any basis in fact. Even the 85th percentile argument is flawed because it fails to account for road users other than motorized vehicles. There’s an ongoing blame game that tries to project the fault onto pedestrians, cyclists, the distracted or the elderly. If drivers were without fault, this would be easy to argue. We’re all people, but you can do a lot more damage if you’re driving a car. Reducing speed limits where people live is a simple way to improve the livability of our communities and the health of our population. Real world experience and multiple studies have verified this. One study states that it’s only a question of “the regulators willingness to act on the evidence.” Congratulations to Victoria City council for having the foresight and the fortitude to do just that. Dave Ferguson Saanich
Slower driving a better way to go The City of Victoria’s speed limit initiative needs perspective. It seems that many people have concluded that 40 km/h will apply on all roads. This is not the case and here’s why the proposed change makes sense.
Most of the road surface in cities and towns consists of non arterial streets that default to 50 km/h if they are unposted. By establishing a default limit of 40 km/h the cost of bringing appropriate limits to many streets will be minimized. Will lowering speed limits eliminate speeding and unlawful driving? Of course not. There’ll always be a need for enforcement. But there’s a bigger picture to consider. Reducing speed in urban and residential areas is an investment in a healthier and more functional society. If you haven’t read the many studies that have been done on this, Google is an easy way to find them. Change doesn’t come overnight but the long list of positives that slower driving brings to society is worth pursuing. Lingxia Li Saanich
Vote independent for next election Re: Liberal secrets can’t be denied (Our View, March 8) Does Premier Christy Clark really believe voters think she knew nothing about “the ethnic vote scam?” May 14 will show how many party voting people will still vote Liberal to run the province. The latest Samara Democracy Report found that only 55 per cent of Canadians are satisfied with the way democracy works in Canada. Samara suggests refocusing politics to place citizens at the centre, saying: “With the citizen at the centre, the political system would be both more representative and accountable, something that would contribute to citizens’ increased satisfaction with Canadian democracy.” A vote for a political party is a vote to promote corruption. In a minority government, independent MLA’s hold an enormous amount of power. Find an independent candidate to nominate in your riding. Time for a change powered by the citizens.

With premium land, farmers face development pressure Steven Heywood News staff
Farmers and potential farmers in Greater Victoria face plenty of barriers to running a food production operation – not the least of which is inflated land prices they say is caused by real estate speculation. A presentation on farm succession planning earlier this month, the Farmer2Farmer conference at the Saanich Fairground, turned into a lively debate on the challenges facing anyone who wants to work the land. Led by Bob Mitchell of Sea Bluff Farm in Metchosin and Rhona McAdam and Michael Nyberg of Haliburton Farm in Cordova Bay, the session quickly turned into a debate over the barriers and pressures facing farmers on southern Vancouver Island. Mitchell said his answer to keeping his land a farm was to form a corporation – with a board of directors. “Corporations don’t die,” he said. “People tend to die and corporations tend to go on forever.” Even so, some younger farmers say they experience many barriers to getting into the field, including high priced leases for land. Nyberg, who has been farming for only two years, said if he didn’t have the opportunity to lease plots at the publicly run Haliburton Farm, he might not have found the land he needed. Nyberg said there needs to be a shift in values and a turning away from pricing farmland out of reach in order to keeping farming affordable. “Young people want the experience, the access to land and can be creative farmers,” he said. While he noted there are risks to farming – just as in any business – there are other barriers that

make it more difficult. In addition to skewed land prices, infrastructure such as slaughterhouses and test facilities are lacking. Saanich farmer and food security consultant Carolyn Herriot said this lack of farm infrastructure, coupled with a growing population, means producers of all stripes face pressure from developers. “There is no real plan from any level of government when it comes to food security or even local food production,” she said. “It all seems to be left up to the people.” She encourages as many people as possible taking to the land for farming, reaping the benefits of local food and even agricultural tourism. “We can grow our way around the recession,” Herriot said. “But we have little time left to flutter about on this issue.” North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall, who was at the session, said she has suggested the Capital Regional District have an agricultural land acquisition division. “People need to start exerting more pressure for this sort of thing,” Finall said.

Outdoor show takes over Pearkes arena Expo features bull riding machine, floating ball rides As a trade show that bills itself for active people, this year the Vancouver Island Outdoor Adventure Expo has taken the bull by the horns.

Bail hearing delayed for shooting suspect Accused remains in custody One of two people charged in the wake of a drive-by shooting outside Club 9one9 in the Strathcona Hotel has had her bail hearing rescheduled. Whitney Rae Furber, who remains in custody, appeared via video conference on Monday in Victoria Law Courts. She faces charges of attempted murder, use of a prohibited firearm, aggravated assault and dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, among others. Her case will next come to court April 8 at 9:30 a.m. The charges stem from an early morning incident Feb. 25 on Douglas Street in which Club 9one9 doorman Michael Mizerski was shot in the leg. He was treated and released from hospital later that day. Dennis Grant Fletcher also faces charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault, use of a prohibited firearm and others in relation to the drive-by shooting. His case will be back in court on March 25. reporter@vicnews.com

The same company will set up a pool for “Wild Zorbing Water Balls,” people-sized floating plastic balls that require exceptional balance to stand and walk on water. “It’s a big ball in a pond. It’s quite a workout and a lot of fun,” said Beckie Ross, with trade show organizer Pacific West Displays in Nanaimo. The three-day outdoor recreation trade show drew a few thousand people last year to see dozens of vendors. This year Western Speedway will

In the theme of guns ‘n’ ammo, this year the expo will also host a display from Sterling Cross Defense Systems, an Abbotsford-based company that supplies items such as heavy machine guns, cannons and riot control gear to military and police agencies, and weapons for civilian sport shooters.

Jewish arts fest kicks off year of celebration Thanksgiving expressed in opening concert Daniel Palmer News staff
When Congregation EmanuEl’s cornerstone was laid in place in 1863, its founders had no idea the building would persevere to become Canada’s oldest continuously used synagogue. Community members from varying religions, cultures and creeds came together to give the roughly 50 Jewish families living in Victoria a dedicated place of worship and congregation. To celebrate the 150th anniversary of that event and to help raise money for Emanu-El’s aging roof, the 2013 Jewish Arts Festival kicks off on Saturday night with a multicultural concert at Alix Goolden Performance Hall. “This is a really important year for us, so we thought we should have an arts festival that echoed the origins of the synagogue

The Peanuts gang is ready to entertain T
he University of Victoria’s Phoenix Theatre presents Clark Gesner’s beloved Broadway hit, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown, a musical that brings Charlie Brown and the rest of the Peanuts characters to the stage with a Grammy nominated score. This charming play follows the loveable loser through a day pondering the meaning of life and pining over the Little Red-Haired Girl. He finds solace in friendships with Linus, little sister Sally, bossy nemesis Lucy, musical genius Schroeder – and, of course, man’s best friend, Snoopy. Director Fran Gebhard, an acting instructor in the Department of Theatre, said Charlie Brown continues to resonate with audiences young and old because everyone can relate to feeling like the underdog. “Charlie Brown has already stood the test of time,” Gebhard said. “He doesn’t need to be changed to be relevant. Everything these kids go through – depression, anxiety, existentialism, bullying – still plague us today, and the Peanuts gang do a beautiful job

of exploring how to overcome these problems on their own.” Gebhard takes the show back to its roots with both the set and costume designs drawing from the early versions of Schulz’s comic strips. The cast of seven students from the department of theatre includes locally known musician Kale Penny (from the band Sunday Buckets), who won last year’s Mount Doug Idol, and Christie Stewart, who made it to the Top 20 of CBC’s national search for Dorothy last fall in Over the Rainbow. Under the leadership of music director Jim Hill and assistant music director and pianist Adrian Bronson, this cast will have the whole family singing along to catchy and endearing songs like My New Philosophy, Happiness and Suppertime. Previews of the music can be found on iTunes through a link at phoenixtheatres.ca. Evening performances are at 8 p.m. March 20, 21, 22, 23 with a matinee at 2 p.m. on Saturday, March 23.

Renewable Energy Opportunity at UVic Community Open House The University of Victoria is undertaking a study to determine the feasibility of constructing a Biomass Thermal Energy Plant at the Gordon Head Campus. This open house is the first step in an eight-month exploratory process in which people are being asked for their input. Where & When? Wednesday, March 27, 2013 | 3 to 7 pm Student Union Building, Upper Lounge, University of Victoria UVic has set targets to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and increase renewable energy use. A biomass plant has the potential to allow us to significantly exceed our GHG reductions’ targets and save on energy costs. The project can also offer research and teaching opportunities. Your input matters and will influence the outcomes of the study. Watch for updates on the UVic Campus Planning & Sustainability website: http://www.uvic.ca/sustainability.

View Royal archivist Chance Dixon shows off the town’s 25th anniversary time capsule, which will be sealed in the wall behind her until the town’s 100th anniversary.
View Royal marks era with 75-year capsule Archivist seeks public help in filling the void Kyle Wells News staff
If the future world of the Terminator films comes to life, machines will have taken over the world by 2088. Even if that hasn’t come true, View Royal archivists hope their 25th anniversary time capsule will be opened and its contents considered historical treasures by future residents.
The year of 2013 marks the Town of View Royal’s 25th anniversary. To commemorate the milestone the town will seal a time capsule into the rock wall by the side of the Island Highway, across from the Four Mile Pub. The wall, built by Andreas Kunert, contains a hollow for the capsule, hidden behind a slab of rock. It is hoped the approximately one metre by 30 centimetre stainless steel time capsule will be left undisturbed for 75 years, until the town’s 100th anniversary. Organizers say anything could happen between now and 2088, but hope someone will be
able to appreciate this piece of history. “We have a great chance of an enormous earthquake that may change View Royal completely and climate change has started already,” volunteer Louise Baur said. “We never know how View Royal is going to change.” Right now archivist Chance Dixon is looking for suggestions from residents as to what should be included in the capsule. Students from View Royal schools were asked to write letters describing contemporary life, including what they like and what they don’t like about the town. “It’s going to be fun,” Dixon said. “A lot of the kids in elementary school, their version of the future is flying cars.” Local groups and businesses are also being contacted for submissions for the capsule. Copies of everything in the capsule will also be kept sealed in the View Royal Archives, in case something happens to the capsule. Residents have until May 3 to submit suggestions to Dixon, either by mail at 45 View Royal Avenue, V9B 1A6 or by email at archives@viewroyal.ca. The capsule will be sealed in the wall on May 25 at 9 a.m. There will be a pancake breakfast to commemorate the event. kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Burst pipe leads to soggy books “It was bigger than a leak, but not quite a flood.�
Daniel Palmer News staff
About 1,500 books were damaged after a faulty water pipe burst Thursday morning at the Greater Victoria Public Library’s Central branch on Broughton Street. A facilities supervisor was on-site when he heard a loud explosion from the floor above and rushed to the rescue around 6:50 a.m., said Lynne Jordon, GVPL deputy CEO. “It was bigger than a leak, but not quite a flood,� she said. The staff member followed the library’s emergency disaster plan by immediately covering the bookshelves with plastic sheets, a quick reaction that prevented greater water damage, Jordon said. Restoration and insurance crews will continue to assess the

Douglas Bowl to showcase ultimate rivalry Travis Paterson News staff
UVic’s competitive ultimate frisbee team is happy to play the victim, but in name only. The sport is popular but doesn’t draw the spectators as many of its bigger tournaments are out of town, says Kevin Underhill, captain of UVictim, the university’s men’s club team. Victoria did host the 2012 nationals at Royal Athletic Park in August, but it will be years before they return. That’s why Underhill and former UVictim player Graeme Barber came up with the plan to showcase the sport with an annual
event that pits UVic’s collegiate level men’s and women’s teams versus the rival UBC Thunderbirds with the newly created Douglas Bowl. “We named it the Douglas Bowl to tie into some historical B.C. flavour,” Underhill said. “Obviously (Sir James Douglas) is the namesake for so many natural landmarks in B.C. and we wanted to associate with them.” This semester is Underhill’s last with UVictim. The 24-year-old has played for them since the fall of 2008 and is in his final year of history and journalism. “Barber and I decided it would be fun to host a showcase event with friends and family. People tell us they want to watch us play but we’re usually away.”
UVictim’s respective men’s and women’s teams practise up to five days a week and travel to tournaments on the West Coast. The women scored a huge win, finishing first in the Santa Barbara (University of California) Invite in late January. UVictim’s men were ninth. Based on those and other results on the U.S.A. collegiate circuit, both UVictim teams are ranked in the top-30 of North American universities. The Thunderbirds are also highly ranked, and though UVictim defeated them this year, the latter have yet to qualify out of the North West conference playdowns and into the U.S.A. nationals, which UBC has done a couple of times.
Pacers fourth at provincials Travis Paterson News staff

The Pacers won its way through the opening rounds to the final four, fell in the semifinal, and then the thirdplace game to the Princeton 78-57, to slide to fourth. Grade-11 point guard Kathryn Candell spurred the Pacers to opening round wins over Unity Christian (Chilliwack) and Mulgrave (West Vancouver), including a 39-point effort in the latter game. Candell scored 21 points in the 81-53 semi-
final loss to the eventual champion Immaculata Mustangs (Kelowna). She finished as the top scorer of the tournament with an average of 24.5 points per game and as a first team all-star.

Short but sweet run for Gogolev Alex Gogolev’s season with the Victoria Royals was cut short due to an injury in early February but the 20-year-old’s impact was substantial. At the team’s awards ceremony on Sunday the import from Moscow, Russia, was named the Royals MVP of the 2012-13 season. He had 20 goals and 45 assists in 49 games prior to his injury. His last game was Feb. 5 and yet he did enough to help the Royals to a franchise-best 77 points and 35 wins. Jordan Fransoo was named the team’s top defenceman and fellow defenceman Joe Hicketts was named rookie of the year. Also awarded: Logan Fisher as the hardest worker, Patrik Polivka the unsung hero, Tim Traber the most dedicated, and Brandon Magee as the fans’ choice, as voted by fans. sports@vicnews.com
