Caught between a cow and a hard place Gordon Head neighbours losing patience in standoff between farmland owners and Saanich

Ted Lea stands in one of his neighbour’s yards that backs onto the Alberg cow feed farm in residential Gordon Head. Neighbours are angry that the cow farm is there, and are urging the landowners to once again seek rezoning with Saanich for a housing development. Sharon Tiffin/News staff

ed Lea is on the losing end of a dispute he’s not even a part of. A family of cow farmers and Saanich council remain locked in a stalemate, but it’s Lea and his fellow Gordon Head neighbours who say they are the ones suffering. “The smell’s not too bad now, but there’s the odd waft. The cows are relatively quiet, but they’re going to get noisier, and louder, and smellier,” Lea said of the 23 Angus cows now living on land in the middle of their residential neighbourhood at the base of Mount Douglas. “And a lot of people are worried about their property values. A lot of the neighbours feel they’re being held hostage and bullied.”

The Albergs, who own 1516 Mount Douglas Cross Rd., installed a cattle feedlot in late February after multiple attempts failed to subdivide and build homes on their agriculturally protected property. Council twice denied approval on the basis that they didn’t want to lose farmland. Right now it’s a win-lose situation for the Albergs, who’ve dug in their heels and say Saanich needs to make the next move if they want the cow farm gone. The lot is now being used to turn a small profit for the family, but the cow farm comes at the expense of their neighbours’ support and quality of life. “This is taking way too much time for everybody, and just getting people

upset and people worried about their homes and children,” Lea said. A letter-writing campaign is underway, with much of the unified neighbourhood urging the Albergs to submit another rezoning application. “We agree that you may have been treated in an unfair manner by Saanich ... but your response is just as unfair to your neighbours, including the many that initially supported you,” Lea and his wife, Laura, wrote. “This is not about winning a battle between you and Saanich; it is about doing what is right for the neighbourhood and leaving a family legacy that you can be proud of and one that your parents would be proud of.” Don Alberg, who inherited the prop-

erty along with his siblings Gordon Alberg and Florence Davis, says he doesn’t want to take a “leap of faith” and put his trust in a council that wasted their money in the past. The fear, he says, is the Agricultural Land Commission could remove all farmland protection and Saanich could potentially deny rezoning again, leaving the property that can’t be farmed or developed for housing. The Albergs are demanding that Saanich guarantee subdivision rezoning before sending a request to the ALC to remove the land from the Agricultural Land Reserve.

Argument over woman leads to stabbing Kyle Slavin News staff

A young Saanich man faces a charge of aggravated assault after a stabbing Saturday morning sent one man to hospital with serious injuries. Saanich police attended the 3900-block of St. Peters Rd. in the Quadra-McKenzie area around 3:45 a.m. and found three people suffering from injuries, including one who had been stabbed using a kitchen knife. “It was a very chaotic scene,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. Eassie said investigators believe the incident began as an argument over a woman. Police are still looking to speak with that woman, who has yet to be identified. People at the house aren’t co-operating with police. “I would say that extreme levels of intoxication were also a factor,” he added. The stabbing victim, a 31-year-old man, was taken to hospital, but was later released. A 44-year-old was also taken to hospital with facial injuries. A 22-year-old Esquimalt man faces one count assault causing bodily harm. Adam Taggart, a 20-year-old Saanich man, faces a charge of aggravated assault and appeared in court on Monday. Police are asking anyone with information on the unidentified woman to call Det. Bryan Rowan at 250-475-4387. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Sewage plans leads homeowners astray Couple feels duped after biosolids plant now considered for Saanich or Esquimalt Daniel Palmer News staff

When Justine and Walter Ash moved into their Vic West home two weeks ago, they thought they’d found the perfect location. The Hereward Road property, on the border between Victoria and Esquimalt, offered easy access to the E&N rail trail, a big yard and ample space to raise their first child, due in May. Before they put down an offer, the couple decided to check with the Capital Regional District about possible construction in the area. “We knew about the sewage pipeline being built out from McLoughlin Point to Hartland (landfill in Saanich), so we wanted to know if the street would be torn up,” Justine said. “It never occurred to us they would be building a shit factory across the street.” The CRD announced last week it had purchased a $17-million industrial property on Viewfield Road, just metres from the Ashes’ home, as a possible site for a solid waste processing facility. If the Viewfield site were to be used, sewage would be pumped about two kilometres from the wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point to be harvested for energy and resources. Such a scenario would save $6 to $7 million in annual operating costs over building a biosolids plant at Hartland – which would require 18 km of pipes – said Denise Blackwell, chair of the CRD’s core area wastewater management committee. The Ashes, however, feel they

Ed McDonald, left, owner of MAC Renovations and son Blaise, the company’s operations manager, on Viewfield Road directly across the street from a proposed solid waste energy recovery site. were misled. Walter contacted the CRD before they bought their home and requested information on pipelines, solid waste trucking routes and maps. “As a prospective first-time home buyer, I want to be aware of the treatment plans so that I can make an informed decision,” he wrote in a Jan. 31 email to Heather Raines, executive assistant with the CRD’s core area wastewater treatment program. “I was wondering if you could comment on the areas of the city (Esquimalt and Vic West, in particular) that may be impacted by the CRD water treatment plans.”

In her Feb. 4 response, Raines provided a link to a 2010 environmental impact study that states: “Sludge will be processed at a biosolids facility built at the Hartland North site.” Raines added the construction schedule in the study had changed, but “the other information is still applicable.” The next day, Walter and Justine put down an offer on their new home. CRD spokesman Andy Orr sympathized with the couple, but said government land deals tend to be done in secret to avoid price speculation. “I don’t think we could have released the information any sooner

than we did,” he said. Ed McDonald owns MAC Renovations on Viewfield Road, directly across the street from the proposed biosolids site. While truck traffic is already heavy in the area, McDonald worries about the likelihood of declining property values. “The CRD’s process is really upsetting,” he said. “They never miss collecting a tax bill from us.” Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins said the inclusion of a biosolids plant would disproportionately burden the township with all of the major components of the Capital Region’s $783-million secondary sewage treatment project. “The process to purchase this site prior to any public knowledge or input denies the public their rights, and it denies the municipality their rights that this was all done in-camera,” Desjardins said. “It’s a disrespect to the population.” The CRD says it undertook an exhaustive process to find alternative properties for the biosolids centre, but in the end, only Viewfield Road and Hartland were deemed viable for social, environmental and economic reasons. “We looked at some places in the Inner Harbour, we looked at moving the public works yard in the City of Victoria … there was always someone who didn’t want to sell,” Blackwell said. “But we haven’t made a decision. Both sites have their good and their bad sides to them. That’s why we’re going to public consultation.” A 2009 CRD inventory assessment estimates more than 340 acres of new industrial land will be required in Greater Victoria over the next 30 years, with the greatest demand in the core. “While I’m willing to do whatever I can to oppose it, my hope is ultimately the plan won’t go through because it’s just so asinine,” Justine Ash said. “This was supposed to be the most exciting week of our lives.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Teenager beaten, mugged while walking home A 17-year-old with headphones on was jumped, beaten and robbed Sunday night while walking home in Saanich. The victim was walking in the 3900block of Holland Ave. (near Burnside and Helmcken roads) around 10:45 p.m. when three unknown

males knocked him to the ground, punched and kicked him and stole his cellphone, iPod and monthly bus pass before fleeing. One of the suspects is described as a 19- or 20-year-old male with brown hair. He was wearing a black hoodie, jeans, and a red baseball cap

with a white DC logo on the front. “It’s not advisable to walk around with headphones in. We do need to be aware of our surroundings, we do need to hear things that could harm us from behind – and that could be a vehicle, cyclists or other people on foot,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “If

you’re wearing headphones, that’s also a clue to other parties that you have a (portable electronic) device on you.” The victim sustained minor injuries. Anyone with information on this is asked to call police at 250-475-4321.

unused nursery in Saanich to GOMPS, where the organization will sow and grow Garry oak seedlings. GOMPS declined to say exactly where the nursery is located. “We need to produce a large and healthy enough tree that can be planted without fear of damage in our urban forests – deer, rabbits, people. We need to produce the biggest, healthiest tree that’s economically viable,” Croteau said. Once the trees are big enough to move from the nursery, they’ll be sold to municipalities, regional groups, public bodies and the general public. “This is something that’s very much needed because people in our community are seeing the trees falling, and they’re not being replaced fast enough for

News staff

A Garry oak tree grown in Saanich is genetically different than a Garry oak from Chilliwack – let alone the tree species’ American kin from Washington State. That’s why a Victoria-based environmental group, the Garry Oak Meadow Preservation Society (GOMPS), is embarking on a project to grow healthy Garry oaks from local acorns. “From a genetic point of view, the Garry oaks in our area are producing acorns that will have the best chances of survival here because they will inherit the traits that their parent trees are developing,” said Michael Croteau, a member of GOMPS. Last week Victoria council approved a plan to sublease an

an oak tree to fill the space,” Croteau said. Growing genetically Victoria Garry oaks in optimum conditions in the nursery will give them the best chance of survival once they’re planted in an urban forest. GOMPS aims to produce roughly 1,000 trees to sell each year. But that will take some time. Croteau anticipates the first lot of trees won’t be available for five to seven years. The nursery still needs to be prepared for the operation, so sowing likely won’t happen for another month or two. GOMPS is a non-profit that aims to preserve and restore the Garry oak ecosystem in Greater Victoria. For more information, visit garryoak.info. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Vision Matters

Victoria architect Paul Merrick, left, Royal B.C. Museum CEO Jack Lohman and London architect John McAslan, stand near the entrance to the museum, an aspect of the facility they hope to redesign under a new master plan for the buildings. McAslan’s firm is the lead architect for the project.

tect in the creation of that plan, which also involves the attached B.C. Archives. The U.K. company has transformed the Iron Market in Port-au-Prince, Haiti and refurbished King’s Cross Station in London before the 2012 Olympics. Recognizing the need to air out the museum’s offerings, McAslan pointed to a need to “allow the building to breathe and be connected in a way that allows movement and circulation.” Lohman distanced himself from a previous development plan that called for two more towers to be built onsite, a plan for which the museum received a rezoning approval for the property in 2011. The idea of erecting two office towers “scared me,”

Lohman said, adding it was an inappropriate way to develop museum space. The overarching objective is to create a master plan for the existing site, obtaining better value for what’s already there, rather than creating a building plan, he said. Local architect Paul Merrick will play a leading role in developing and interpreting the visions of the McAslan group. Merrick pointed out the museum was built by the W.A.C. Bennett government in the rather utilitarian style of the 1960s. “It was essentially a black box that was habited by experiences, or what we call exhibits today,” he said. While technological improvements and additions

such as the National Geographic IMAX Theatre have created added value for the facility, he said, they haven’t done anything to remove impedances to first-time visitors. Merrick considers the corner of Belleville and Government streets ground zero for tourists in Victoria, given its proximity to the legislature, the Fairmont Empress Hotel and the Inner Harbour. The museum is juxtaposed between those two architectural icons, he said, yet often gets missed, in part due to its somewhat nondescript appearance. “People can be standing right there, but still have to ask ‘where is the Royal B.C. Museum?’” editor@vicnews.com

Parents are often surprised when I tell them that children should have their eyes examined around their third birthday. At this age however, many problems can be detected and timely treatment started. If an infant or toddler has an obvious problem, the parents should not hesitate to have the child’s eyes examined even earlier. Children with vision problems may not complain. Blurred or double vision can seem normal if one has never known anything else. Sometimes a child may only be using one eye with the other not functioning properly; even though it appears to be normal. An eye may be “lazy” (amblyopic) even if it doesn’t seem to turn in or out.

OUR VIEW

Stop crapping on Esquimalt

he uproar in Esquimalt the past week may well have been heard across the Juan de Fuca Strait, where pro-sewage treatment advocates are watching every move we make on the project. News that the Capital Regional District is considering a site in the Esquimalt industrial park for a planned biosolids processing facility, to go with the main treatment plant on the Esquimalt waterfront, left residents and nearby property owners feeling they had been crapped on yet again. CRD core area liquid waste management committee chair Denise Blackwell’s comments that a biosolids plant on Viewfield Road would save between $6 and $7 million annually in operating costs over a plant built at Hartland were telling. Regardless if the $17-million land purchase was speculative, the decision shows which way the committee is leaning. That a consultation process is being planned to help the CRD choose between the two sites is small consolation to the property owners in the Viewfield neighbourhood, which touches on Esquimalt and Victoria. Given its siting, the McLoughlin Point treatment plant is likely to have less of a deleterious effect on property values than a biosolids plant on Viewfield, even if the smell and noise are well contained. Both residential and industrial values are bound to drop as a result of last week’s news, in the short term at least. Whether the CRD ultimately chooses to locate the biosolids plant there or not, the damage may already be done. Could all this have been avoided? Hard to say. Municipal land dealings are always done behind closed doors. And the biosolids plant, which may well have a smaller environmental footprint than the existing trucking warehouse on Viewfield, has to be built somewhere. The CRD, duty-bound to spend taxpayers’ money wisely, no doubt felt compelled to snap up a property it believed could be an ideal site, especially when it could save millions. But it better be ready for further outcry, and potential legal action, as you-know-what has really has hit the fan in Esquimalt for a second time. What do you think?

It’s a public-private partnership, as we have seen with modern public works. Findlay acknowledged that even with a big push on training, Canada will still need to import foreign workers. In B.C. we are bracing for an unprecedented resource boom, much of it in the B.C. Interior and north. That’s one reason for a $241 million increase over five years to the federal Income Assistance Program for aboriginal reserves. The new money is available only if the community leadership commits to a mandatory training component. They didn’t call it Idle No More, but that’s the gist of it. Of course, no worker or province or band council is required to participate. They have the option to leave the federal money on the table. But the NDP should note that the Canada Job Grant applies to union-run apprenticeship schools as well as those in community colleges and technical institutes. Saying no isn’t much of a choice. Whatever grand promises the B.C. Liberals and NDP have written into their yet-to-be-released election platforms, they will need to find the money to participate.

LETTERS Some dog owners need obedience lessons As someone who is just starting to enjoy his retirement in Victoria, there are some things that I find hard to get used to as I move around the city. While I appreciate that most dog owners clean up after their pets by collecting and disposing, there is a breed of owner out there that still doesn’t get it, and, oddly enough, it isn’t those who flout the regulations and leave it lying for others to walk through. Nothing but a good hefty fine will ever change their wretched behaviour for the better. Rather, it is those owners who scoop, bag and then drop it on pavement for others to have contend with that really puzzle and irk me. Perhaps, these are the benighted ones who just don’t understand that there is one more step in completing the process. Putting animal waste in a bag for others to have to dispose of is not being a good citizen even if you have got it half right. Ian Mallcomson Saanich

B.C. has plenty of economic opportunity With so much focus on the unparalleled opportunity of exporting B.C.’s natural gas to Asia, it’s easy to overlook the many other equally impressive export and job creation opportunities that are underway here in this province. As an example: over the next two to three years, eight new

mines are slated to open in B.C. and another nine are being expanded. This will add as many as 10,000 new jobs to an industry that currently employs close to 30,000 British Columbians. In addition to jobs, these new and expanded mines will also generate close to $1.6 billion in new revenue for the people of this province every year. We have so many opportunities available to us here in B.C. I’m glad to see that we’re seizing them and building a solid future we can be proud of to pass on to our children. Jesse McClinton Saanich

Plans don’t match wishes at Gyro park Re: Saanich reawakens redesign planning for Gyro park (News, March 6) Saanich did a survey of Gyro park users in 2009 to see what improvements should be made. The subsequent park plans bore little relation to the survey. As is, Gyro is a unique, popular, heavily used park. The survey revealed 72 per cent were there to walk their dogs; 11 per cent mentioned flooding as a problem; nine per cent were there to kayak; five per cent mentioned a few shade trees; one per cent requested a wetland. The current plan removes the tennis courts. The plan makes access to the waterfront more difficult for the disabled, seniors, kayakers and first responders. It plans for 80 new 50 foot high trees, increasing maintenance costs and reducing secu-

rity in the park. The wetland is proposed to occupy 25 to 50 per cent of the park. Typically wetlands RG-ad-BP-1202.indd (Swan Lake for example) bring problems: mosquitoes, toxic blue-green algae, drowning concerns, in season continuous frog croaking and flooding. Nature sanctuaries like these are single-use areas and no-go zones for dogs. Do we seriously want the park reduced by half? Flooding is not addressed, the park is lower than some of the piping and tides. The solution is to pump as necessary. The Killarney sump pump solved the flooding problem there. There are problems with the new plan, it just does not respond to what park users are asking for. As well, many new features appear to be the most expensive ways of doing things. For instance, new parking lots on known swampland will be costly. The current plan needs critical review, not a rubber stamp. Dwight Waring Saanich The News welcomes your opinions and comments.

There’s nothing else we can do after this if (the Albergs) will not change their direction right now,” Lea said. “The mayor warned something like this could happen, but I think a lot of people were hoping (the Albergs) were bluffing.

The Story of Easter

esus Before Pilate – Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.” But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted. “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas

to them. He had Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion

A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The writ-

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself!

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?” But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’” Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was

saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be

Each spring, Christians celebrate Easter, a time of remembering the story of the resurrection, or raising to life, of Jesus, who had been dead for three days. The date of Easter is movable. For many Christians in the West, it is the first Sunday following the full moon after the March 21, or Spring Equinox, and can fall between March 22 and April 25. This year, Easter is on March 31. The story of God raising Jesus to life is seen as being symbolic of God’s continuing promise of new life both within the cycle of creation and in the human life. It happens at springtime when creation is coming to life once again after being dormant during the winter months. It represents a time of hope, anticipation, possibility and opportunity. There are many symbols related to Easter in the Christian faith. More traditional ones are the empty cross, or a cross draped in white, representing the grave clothes Jesus, a Jew living in the first century, would have been buried in. Modern symbols are found in creation, such as the butterfly, seen as going into the cocoon as a caterpillar, spending a time of dormancy, and then emerging to new life as a butterfly. Another modern symbol is the daffodil which has spent a time of dormancy in the earth during the darkness of winter to emerge as a beautiful yellow flower in the sunlight and warmth of spring. Many Christian communities will represent this new life on Easter day by placing daffodils

in holders on a wooden cross. Easter eggs, seen as the containers of new life, are exchanged as reminders of fresh possibility in every situation in life. Worship in churches on Easter Sunday tends to be upbeat and joyful with the singing of traditional hymns. The congregation gathers to celebrate the fact that no matter how bleak and dark the winter storms of human life might seem to be, there is always, in every life, hope and promise for a better tomorrow; that there exists life where we had thought there only to be death. The task of the worshipping congregation is to sustain one another and also the wider community on the journey of life through moments darkness into the warmth of the new life of spring sunshine. Christian churches in Victoria are open and welcoming to members of the community who wish to come and experience the hope and joy of Easter. Most have websites where you can find information on meeting times and activities for Easter. Many churches will also gather at Willows Beach at 6:45 am and walk to Cattle Point for an outdoor Easter Service.

member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”— which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

When Sarah Hilton, 17, was pondering the idea of getting a tattoo, she drew her back with a graphite pencil. At the nape of her neck she wrote IX VII MCMXLVI, her papa’s birthday – Sept. 7, 1946. She has always had a strong connection with her grandfather, even though he died before she was born. “He named me Sarah after the dinosaur on The Land Before Time,” said the Belmont secondary student, adding he talked to her through her mother’s pregnant belly. While the tattoo is still just an idea, Hilton likes how it looks on paper and may eventually add it to her body. The drawing will soon be on display at the Xchanges Student Invitational show. Xchanges Gallery is hosting the show and had six of its adult artists go to six Greater Victoria high schools to select Grade 12 students to participate. Painter Richard Motchman, president of the gallery, was the artist who went to Belmont to select three students. “We chose Grade 12 students because they are leaving school soon and we wanted them to connect with the adult art world,” he said. “The student’s art was really good and it was difficult to narrow it down and only pick three.” Motchman invited Hilton and two of her classmates to the show. Amber Mcleod-Champagne, 17, entered her piece titled Simplicity. The mixed media piece involves newspapers, a photo of her cat and acrylic paint. “I think it’s really great. It’s important for us

Amber McLeod-Champagne is one of several secondary students whose work will be displayed in the Xchanges Student Invitational show from April 5 to 28. to get our work out there before we graduate,” McLeod-Champagne said. “It’s also very inspirational to see other people’s art.” Laura Rechwan,17, will also be a part of the show with her acrylic painting titled, It’s later than you think. “My love for the natural world is what inspires me,” she said. Rechwan is excited to be a part of the show and to volunteer a shift in the gallery talking about her art to the public. There will be 20 students whose work will be on display at the show. The art spans paintings, ceramics, video, printmaking and other mediums. The show opens April 5 at 7 p.m. and will continue until April 28.

The nature of peace Deryk Houston’s work has been exhibited in one-man exhibitions in the former Soviet Union, Scotland, Iraq, and the United States. His work is included in many private and public collections including the Canadian War Museum in Ottawa and was featured in the National Film Board of Canada documentary, From Baghdad to Peace Country. He has completed large scale

ground art projects in Iraq, Canada, and Scotland in support of children’s rights. Much of his work is about the earth and creating conditions for seeds to grow, a metaphor for the search for peace.

Small parties stake out election turf

Tom Fletcher Black Press

As the NDP widens its lead over the governing B.C. Liberal Party in a new poll, the B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Green Party are hoping an early rollout of their policy platforms will help their support grow. An Angus Reid Public Opinion poll released Thursday showed the NDP the choice of 48 per cent of decided voters, up one point since February. The B.C. Liberals were down three points to 28 per cent of decided voters. The B.C. Conservatives and B.C. Greens were both up slightly in voter intention, tied at 11 per cent support. The poll surveyed 809 B.C. adults March

18 and 19, claiming a margin of error of plus or minus 3.5 per cent. The B.C. Conservatives released their platform Thursday, describing it as a “living document” that could change before the May 14 provincial election. It devotes much of its 28 pages to criticizing the province’s 20-year record on taxes, spending and debt. As party leader John Cummins has signalled, the platform promises the elimination of the five-year-old carbon tax on fossil fuels. It emphasizes the disproportionate impact the tax has on rural and northern parts of B.C., but does not specify if offsetting income tax cuts would be reversed to make up the rev-

enue to the province. The B.C. Conservative pledge to balance budgets is emphasized, but the platform doesn’t identify any reduced spending or tax increases. The B.C. Green Party’s platform contains many promises, from creating “green-collar jobs” to doubling B.C.’s park area to 20 per cent over the next 100 years. The Green platform is also described as a “living document,” released last November and updated at the end of January. It also lacks costing for an array of costly policies, including 24-hour medical clinics in rural areas and replacing all existing income assistance programs with a “guaranteed liveable income” for everyone.

Lead ice maker Hans Wuthrich is back. Wuthrich handled the ice at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre for the Men’s World Curling Championships 2005 and is currently setting it for the 2013 Ford World Men’s World Curling Championships, March 30 to April 7.

The ice man returns Final preparation underway Travis Paterson News staff

It’s all cool when Hans Wuthrich is in town. The renowned ice maker, with assistant Dave Merklinger, has prepared and maintained the ice for most of the world’s top curling events for over 15 years. They prepared the curling ice for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, and the 2005 World Men’s Curling Championship in Victoria, among others. Wuthrich, based out of Gimli, Man., arrived to Victoria on Friday, and started the process of turning the ice of Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre from a hockey rink into four sheets of world class ice for the Ford Men’s World Curling Championship, March 30 to April 7. The ice is key for the tournament, and will be debated about

no matter what, Wuthrich said. But Wuthrich also manages the curling rocks, which debuted to much criticism at the Brier in Edmonton earlier this month. “Actually we didn’t get (access to) the rink until Saturday at midnight so we spent time Saturday and (refit) all the curling stones. They were brand new (for the Brier) but there was some squabbles about them so we completed that first,” Wuthrich said. He politely pointed out the rocks couldn’t have been that imperfect, as the Brier finished with its highest shooting percentage ever. The process for the ice in Memorial Centre is multi-staged. To start, the zamboni scraped it down. Wuthrich and company put levelers in before an additional “three-quarters-of-an-inch of ice,” will be laid onto the existing “three-quarters-of-an-inch of hockey ice” in a three stages of floods, Wuthrich said. Then come the final tweaks and peb-

bling later this week. Tickets for the event are selling slow but event organizers expect a heavy portion of walkup fans. “That’s good news,” said event co-chair Keith Dagg. “People can show up and get tickets at the door,” which tends to be the habit of Victorians, he added.

Sweden top Vic Classic Many of the World Curling teams competed in the Victoria Curling Classic at Esquimalt’s Archie Browning Sports Centre last week, with Sweden skipper Niklas Edin and team edging Winnipeg’s Mike McEwen 9-8 in the final for the $25,000 prize. It was no easy draw for Edin, who defeated McEwen in the opening bracket, then beat Kevin Martin and Jeff Stoughton in the playoffs to reach the final. Team Canada’s Brad Jacobs rink from Northern Ontario will land in Victoria on Thursday for the Worlds. sports@vicnews.com

Newell bros win gold at national karate champs

UVictim split ultimate Douglas Bowl with UBC

Oak Bay’s teenaged karate brothers Jean and Geoffrey Newell are national champions. Jean, 14, and Geoffrey, 17, partnered with Emlyn Folkes to win gold in the Team Kata event for boys aged 14 to 17 years old at Karate Canada’s national championships in Toronto, March 15 to 17. Geoffrey took home three awards, including being named the top junior male karate athlete of the year by Karate Canada. Geoffrey also won silver in Kumite (sparring) in the sub-55 kilograms junior men’s category for 16- and 17-year-olds. Jean and Geoffrey defeated Ontario team in Team Kata with a nearly a perfect score. The win qualifies them as members of Team Canada with a chance to represent Canada at the Pan American Games in Columbia this summer.

UVictim’s mens ultimate frisbee team won the inaugural Douglas Bowl 16-14 over the UBC Thunderbirds in extra pulls despite trailing most of the game at UVic on Saturday. UVictim’s women’s team didn’t fare as well, falling 15-5 to the Thunderbirds. MVP honours went to UVictim’s Kevin Underhill and Thunderbirds’ Kevin Greer for the men’s game and UVictim’s Kate Scarth and Thunderbirds’ Rena Kawabata for the women’s game. More than 300 fans showed up to see the game. UVictim now turns its attention to sectional and regional competitions, a series of play-downs that lead to the U.S.A. collegiate nationals. sports@vicnews.com

Coach lifts cup after 18 seasons Travis Paterson News staff

The wait is over for Richie Fast and Bays United. The former player turned coach lifted the Jackson Cup tournament trophy in his 18th season as Bays United won 2-0 over the Lakehill Reds at Royal Athletic Park on Sunday. Game MVP Greg Fiddick scored the first goal of the game eight minutes into play and then Paul Van den Boomen scored the Bays’ second goal in the 59th minute. The 2-0 deficit was too much for the young Reds, a Div. 2 side that made it to the Jackson final against all odds, knocking out a string of Div. 1 teams along the way. Bays’ goalkeeper Dominic Butcher earned the shutout, added bliss for the veteran of 16 Bays seasons. “We just wanted to win one (Jackson Cup),” Fast said. “(Dominic and I) were zerofor-17.” The Bays were Jackson finalists last year, losing to Cowichan FC. That was Fast’s first appearance as a coach. Previous to that the Bays fielded a younger, much different looking team than Sunday’s roster in a losing cause against Gorge Utd. in 2006. “We were an upstart team (in 2006). We just started to develop in the last seven years, signing some key players and having (Butcher) come out to turn the corner of our club,” Fast said. Those key signings included both of the Bays’ goal scorers on Sunday, as Fiddick and Van den

Boomen won multiple Jackson Cup and provincial titles with Gorge for the better part of the past 10 years. “Gorge raised the bar pretty high. Now we believe we’re competing for championships every year, which is where we want to be,” Fast said. Speaking of upstarts, Lakehill didn’t give Bays too much in the way of defensive lapses, though Van den Boomen’s goal, which came on the rebound of a free kick, could certainly have been avoided. Lakehill’s offence had its chances but for the most part was stymied by the solid Bays defensive line. “Lakehill will be and are a very good team, they’re going to surprise some Div. 1 teams (next year). They defend really well and are a well-managed, good young team that’s very difficult to play against, Give their coach (Paul Cringle) full credit. By no means was it easy,” Fast said. This Friday (March 29) the Bays face Gordon Head in the first of two meetings to finish the Vancouver Island Soccer League regular season. All the Bays need is a tie in either game to finish first. The win qualifies the Bays for the A Cup provincials, hosted in Victoria this year. In the earlier game on Sunday the Mid Isle Highlanders edged Westcastle (out of Juan de Fuca) 3-2 in extra time for the George Smith Under-21 Cup. Conor Williams, Mike Moore and Tyson Kushnier scored for the Highlanders, with teammate Blaise Roberts named MVP. Adam Almeida and Etienne Boisvert responded for Westcastle. RAP also hosted the Tony Gro-

ver Cup and Challenge Cup on Saturday. Castaways FC defeated Powell River 2-1 for the men’s over-35 Tony Grover trophy. Matt Green was named MVP and scored a goal for Castaways, with Jeevan Manhas getting the Castaways other goal. Dean Piccanin scored for Powell River. Comox Valley lost to Campbell River 4-3 in penalty kicks for the Challenge Cup (teams below Div. 2), in a game that was 0-0 after regulation.
