Highlands asks for second look Contaminated soil concern sparks federal request Charla Huber News staff

Resident concerns over trucking contaminated soil into Highlands sparked council to seek a second look.

Highlands council is asking the federal government to provide an independent, professional third-party assessment of the landfill’s design and monitoring systems since 150,000 cubic metres of contaminated sediment started making its way to the landfill June 17.

The soil is part of the Esquimalt Graving Dock waterlot remediation project. It will be disposed of in the Highwest Landfill on Millstream Road, operated by Tervita Corporation.

“Waste will be transported to the Highwest landfill in trucks that have sealed end gates, so material will not leave the truck. As another level of assurance, additional vehicles will occasionally follow the loads to ensure nothing is leaving the truck. The drivers of the trucks have extensive experience with waste transportation and will act with the safety of the community and the environment top of mind,” said Stacie Dley, Tervita Communications Advisor.

A reduction in truck traffic is expected to begin in January 2014.

Highlands is a community dependent on groundwater and council wants reassurance that groundwater and other environmental and health issues will be addressed.

Langford festival on hiatus Charla Huber News staff

Charla Huber/news staff

Metchosin teen Sophia Higgins will host a concert to raise money for travel to Indonesia with Canada World Youth. She hopes the leadership skills learned abroad will help her build a farming community.

Music helps develop leadership skills

S

trumming her guitar Sophia Higgins prepares to help others by learning leadership skills.

The Metchosin teen was selected to be a part of the Canada World Youth program starting this October.

The 18-year-old will travel to Price Edward Island with eight other young adults from across Canada and be paired with nine others from Indonesia.

Before she starts the program Higgins is required to raise $3,200 to help cover costs for the non-profit organization. Most of Higgins’ expenses are covered through the Canadian International Development Agency sponCharla Huber sorship worth about $20,000.

She is organizing a fundReporting raiser this month at the St. Mary of Incarnation church showcasing her singing, guitar and violin talents. Her friends, fellow musicians Elena Hoh, 17, and Claire Brady, 18, will also perform. Hoh plays cello and ukelele, Brady plays the double bass and both will sing.

If Higgins raises more than the allotted amount at her concert, she plans to donate the

“This provides a great opportunity for young people. It can help us develop leadership skills and give us insights into the community.”

– Sophia Higgins

funds to Canada World Youth.

Working three jobs to help earn the funds, she decided to step out of her comfort zone and create the concert.

“Organizing this is helping me learn leadership. It’s important for me to make connections in my own community,” Higgins said.

Starting in October the team will live with host families, one Canadian and one Indonesian per home, for three months in the Canadian province. Then in January, all 18 of them will travel to Indonesia for another three months.

“I went to Indonesia when I was five, but I don’t remember much. I travelled around Southeast Asia with my family,” she said.

This time, she will stay in a small town called Cikandang in West Java.

Throughout the six months Higgins and her peers will work in various communities, focusing on different areas of service.

Higgins is assigned to focus on health and the environment, but she will not know her

assignments until she begins the program.

“This provides a great opportunity for young people. It can help us develop leadership skills and give us insights into the community,” said Higgins.

She has a passion for agriculture and would like to one day have a career in farming. She is looking into a non-traditional lifestyle that may include living in a communal setting on a farm with other like-minded people. “Land pricing is so expensive these days.”

When Higgins returns she would like to get some experience with WWOOfing – World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, which connects willing workers with farms to trade labour for room and board.

“Supporting Sophia is really investing in your own community,” said Ben Chung, recruitment co-ordinator for Canada World Youth. He explaining the program is only six months and then Higgins will come back to her community with what she has learned.

Chung was a participant in the program in 2008 and he worked in Brechin, Ont. and Honduras.

“For me it was really about learning leadership,” said Chung adding the experience honed skills and taught him about communication skills and teamwork. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Don’t hold your breath for Langford Days.

After 10 years of the staple one-day summer festival, council opted to hold off this year.

“We just couldn’t get people out and the parade hasn’t been well attended,” said Coun. Lanny Seaton.

“There is no sense spending money if no one is going to attend.”

Each year the city spent between $2,000 and $2,500 on the event.

Aside from having lacking numbers of attendees, the city cited a dwindling number of entries in the parade and dropping numbers in volunteers.

“Young families just have so much on the go,” Seaton said.

Council will look again at the event next year.

“We are just taking a hiatus,” Seaton said.

The festival began as a two-day event 11 years ago called Langford Lavender Festival before being renamed Langford Days.

The summer festival is usually held on the third weekend in July and offered a parade, fishing derby, pancake breakfast and family activities. charla@goldstream gazette.com

“Soil that would be unacceptable for disposal on Vancouver Island would be soil that is classified as hazardous waste as defined by the British Columbia Hazardous Waste Regulation (HWR).

BC Hydro is replacing 37 aging power poles around the Capital Region in the next few months as part of its ongoing maintenance program.

The wooden poles, upwards of 50 years old, will be replaced without shutting off power in most cases, but drivers and pedestrians will likely see some minor delays related to safety precautions.

Hydro intends to replace 10,000 poles around the province by the end of the summer. If residents have any questions about the work, they can call 1-800-224-9376. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Langford dentist Randall Pewarchuk is excited his youngest son Cody Pewarchuk recently graduated from dental school and will start working as a dentist alongside him.

West Shore man returns to greens and pearly whites High marks, golf lead to education opportunities Charla Huber News staff

Cody Pewarchuk will start his future literally next door to his past.

The 25-year-old dentist is joining his father’s dental practice on Goldstream Avenue beside the Royal Colwood Golf Course.

On his eighth birthday, Nov. 23, 1988, Metchosin-raised Pewarchuk became the first “junior, junior” member of the Colwood course.

“Before then you had to be 12 to be a junior member. I don’t know if they made the junior, junior membership for me, but I do know I was the first,” said Pewarchuk, a loyal member of the club ever since.

“He has been a stable member here. It’s a rarity for someone to have membership as a child and then go away to university and remain a member.

Most people take some years off,” said Philip Nurse, course general manager. “Hopefully he’s a member until the end and

hopefully his children will be members too.”

Golf was part of Pewarchuk’s life even before he can remember.

The history is documented in family photos of him standing as a toddler on a pool table with a plastic blue golf club trying to sink the balls.

“I was barely able to even stand up then,” he said laughing.

In later years, he headed to the course with three sawed-off clubs; a 7-iron, 3-wood and a putter.

Even though golf was an important part of the Pewarchuk household, it wasn’t the most important.

“My dad always stressed education first. I always had to have my homework done before I could go play golf,” Pewarchuk said.

He graduated with honours from Belmont secondary school in 2005 earning the highest marks in his graduating class, the Governor General Award and a golf scholarship to University of Hawaii.

Moving to Hawaii was a “culture shock,” he explained of his first time living away from home. “In those four years I

learned a ton, not only about golf.”

Pewarchuk majored in math.

He wasn’t able to take science courses involving labs because of constant travel and finished classes by noon so he could be out on the course. The team competed in Nevada, Utah, Louisiana and California.

“We would fly out on the redeye Friday night and not get back until the Wednesday,” said Pewarchuk.

After four years, Pewarchuk graduated with a bachelor of mathematics at the top of his class.

During his summer breaks he would come back to the West Shore and assist his father in the dental office, inspiring his future career.

Pewarchuk, now living in Langford, graduated from the University of Pittsburgh’s dental school last month.

He was valedictorian.

He looks forward to working alongside his dad at the Langford dental office once his paperwork is complete.

“Dentistry is a combination of science, thinking analytically and it allows you to work with your hands.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Journey ends in time for Aboriginal Day Marathon builds awareness of aboriginal suicide

Kyle Wells News staff

Kelly Paul’s Heliset Hále Marathon journey, which wraps up today (June 21) at Tsartlip First Nation, really started about four and a half years ago, when Paul’s 17-year-old brother, Isaac Paul, took his own life.

“I just wished, I never ever wanted anybody else to go through this or see this happen to them,” Paul said. “We’re just trying to create other support systems, to let people know what’s out there for them, that they’re not alone going through this. …

“I do believe he goes with us everywhere we go. Same with our ancestors. They’re our strengths and support.”

The Heliset Hále Marathon has Paul along with fellow Tsar-

tlip member Bernice Smith, and John Sampson of the Tsawout First Nation, running from tip to tip of Vancouver Island.

The three runners headed out from Port Hardy on May 18, running from community to community, stopping to talk to First Nations reservations and various schools about the purpose behind their trip. They travel an average 15 to 27 kilometres per day.

“It’s a long road,” said Sampson.

The run is to raise awareness for suicide prevention and to bring up a topic the participants believe isn’t discussed enough.

Suicide is the leading cause of death for First Nations youth

and adults up to 44 years of age, according to a Health Canada study from 2003. The rate for First Nations males is 126 per 100,000 people, compared to 24 per 100,000 people for nonaboriginal males.

“Suicide has been kind of a quiet thing, we haven’t spoken about it too much in our communities,” Sampson said. “It’s kind of pushed under the carpet.”

“It’s a healing journey for me, but it’s also a healing journey for many other people, so they’re wanting somehow just to be connected to this,” Paul said.

“It’s been a great response from everyone.”

The group arrived on the West Shore on Tuesday, by canoe at

Goldstream Boathouse, due to safety concerns about running over the Malahat.

From the marina, the crew received a police escort to West Shore Parkway, where they once again took to the road to run to Songhees First Nation. A community run for the Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations took place later in the day.

The paddle to Goldstream gave the group a chance to catch up with family and friends.

Tsartlip Chief Ivan Wayne Morris had even more reason to take part.

His 26-year-old son, Wayne Morris, Jr., committed suicide just under two years ago.

“My family is all real enthused to be here and just be a part of it, have some kind of comfort in what this journey’s all about,” Morris said.

He said through his role as chief he has seen how widespread the problem of suicide in First Nations communities is, and how much need there is for help and healing.

“We need to come together to find some solution to address that, because questions are in my mind yet, as to what happened. I have no answers,” Morris said. “The only way I would’ve got some answers is to talk to my son, and I can’t do that. That’s a hard thing for all of us.

That’s why we’re taking part.”

Neighbours plan protest of proposal Residents’ group opposes plan to locate biosolids processing facility in Esquimalt Daniel Palmer News staff

Residents of Vic West and Esquimalt are planning to march across the Selkirk Trestle on Monday (June 24) to voice their opposition to a proposed sewage sludge site near their homes.

Citizens group Viewfield Neighbours is organizing the event to illustrate resident disdain towards the Capital Regional District’s proposal to locate a biosolids processing facility in the Esquimalt industrial park.

Participants will make their way from Vic West Community Centre to a CRD open house at the Burnside Gorge Community Centre at 5:45 p.m.

The $783-million project also includes a wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point. Construction on that project is scheduled to begin in July.

Organizer Justine Semmens said the group believes the CRD should reject any plans to locate a sewage plant in close proximity to residential neighbourhoods.

“The Viewfield site … would directly impact the health, safety, and quality of life of approximately 5,000 residents and business owners,” Semmens said.

A series of eight CRD public engagement forums are scheduled

across the Capital Region until June 27 to address public concerns and accept public input.

CRD directors will then decide whether to locate the biosolids facility at Hartland landfill in Saanich or Viewfield Road in Esquimalt.

“It is still not known if there are similar types of facilities in any known residential areas that are working as promised, for example with no fires, odour, loss of property value or other air quality problems,” Semmens said.

CRD representatives at the open house events have promised to address public concerns.

Any changes to the plan, which currently identifies Hartland as the approved biosolids site, will require fresh approval from the provincial government.

Rally participants are invited to make signs at Vic West Community Centre, 521 Craigflower Rd., from 3 p.m. on Sunday (June 23).

OUR VIEW

Put the brakes on heritage loss Time, as they say, is fleeting and our history never stops being created.

In families, when our elders pass on, the ability to glean information about the past or stories from the family’s history is lost.

A similar problem presents itself within the architectural and museum world. Without photos of what once stood or how a building looked inside, and in the absence of original drawings or plans, it’s tough to accurately restore a structure or portray an original setting.

Since 1979, when former lessee, the Victoria Conservatory of Music, found another location, the Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society has done its best to offer visitors a taste of life at the turn of the 20th century, when the wealthy Dunsmuir family resided at the grand sandstone mansion high atop Victoria’s Rockland neighbourhood.

Unable to track down the building’s original plans and hamstrung by a scarcity of photos from the Dunsmuir era at the castle, the staff and society volunteers are left to essentially guess how the family might have furnished, decorated and used the multitude of rooms.

Similarly, Parks Canada has information on the first and last keepers of the Fisgard Lighthouse beside Fort Rodd Hill. The names of the 10 keepers in between are known, but no photos of them have been found and little information is known about their lives.

On its web page for the fort and lighthouse, Parks Canada (bit.ly/11McqJc) asks the public to contribute any information it might have about the lighthouse keepers.

The folks at Craigdarroch are making a similar plea to the public (thecastle.ca/buildingplans) for any information that might lead to finding the architectural plans for the castle.

These are just a few examples of how details of our personal, community and built histories can be lost if action is not take to protect it.

Our heritage can be perpetuated by recording the stories of our elders, donating old photos or heirlooms to museums or groups committed to preserving them and supporting those institutions that are committed to the task.

Guy Dauncey, the celebrated author and sustainability advocate, provided 16 specific measures to help undergird the green economy in Victoria.

The choice is clear. We could go on pumping a billion dollars into fossil fuels each year – money this profitable industry doesn’t need. Or we could use that same money to create thousands of green jobs and jumpstart a transition toward loweremission energies for the future.

Building the green economy is possible and we must learn about the practical steps we can take right away to make it happen. If you were unable to attend the event, I would very much like to hear any input you wish to provide. Please email me at murray.rankin@parl.gc.ca.

Regional shout-out given to CRD arts program funders Re: Spread the costs of festival funding (Our View, June 14) I am writing to clarify that the municipalities of Saanich, Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and View Royal are all significant contributors to the Capital Regional District Arts Development Programs.

Highlands, Sidney and Metchosin contribute smaller

amounts, but it is true that Sooke, Langford and Colwood on the West Shore, do not contribute to CRD arts funding, nor do North Saanich or Central Saanich. We do hope that all CRD municipalities will contribute in the future, as their citizens surely enjoy many of the CRD-funded festivals in Victoria’s downtown core. With more funding, arts organizations

could do much more.

We share the News’ view that local governments ought to share the costs of cultural events that help make downtown Victoria a vibrant hub and stimulate the local economy.

Readers respond: Cat in the Hat, PM as king, deer Dr. Seuss’ 1950s visit left a fond memory Re: Lost for decades, original Cat in the Hat returned to children’s hospital in Saanich (vicnews.com) I spent several months recuperating in the Queen Alexandra Solarium (as it was then called) in the late 1950s.

One of my fondest memories of that time was the day Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) came to visit.

All the mobile children were assembled in the auditorium, and the good doctor opened a big box of coloured chalk and proceeded to fill the large blackboard with one of his fantastic creatures.

He asked each child to describe a part – tail, feet, eyes, wings, etc. (I chose big, round and fuzzy purple ears) – and he would add that part, until we had all made a selection and the board was filled. It was weeks before the staff dared erase our beautiful beast.

He also donated a copy of his famous Cat in the Hat, which I particularly enjoyed, as my mother had been reading me his short stories from her Redbook magazines when she came to visit. His books saved many of us children from many a rainy afternoon.

So heartfelt thanks from a former patient to the good doctors: Dr. Seuss for his works, and Dr. O’Connor for his generosity.

Separation would yield better government Re: Image of PM as king hit right on the mark (Letters, vicnews.com) With or without clothes, King Stephen rules supreme in Ottawa. The autocratic centralization of both executive and legislative powers in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has effectively hollowed

parliament’s role, with the dictates of caucus solidarity suffocating the regional voices of individual MPs by rigid party discipline, and demanding sheeplike obedience.

To correct Canada’s democracy deficit, separation of the executive branch (PMO) and legislative branch (parliament) would achieve a functional system of muchneeded political checks and balances. But that may be just a tad too “republican” for this democratically challenged “Kingdom” of ours.

E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen

Simple solution to deer problems I can’t understand how everyone who attended the recent town hall meeting in Oak Bay on what to do about deer in that municipality somehow missed the most obvious solution to this problem.

Oak Bay council should simply pass a bylaw requiring any deer coming into Oak Bay to wear tweed jackets so they would blend in with the local population. Then hardly anyone would notice them.

The cars belong to members of the Bentley Drivers Club, who were on a 31-day tour from California through Utah, up into Alberta and west to B.C. Victoria was the last Canadian stop for the drivers, who were headed to Seattle next to end the trip. Participants hailed from the U.S., Australia and Monaco.

VicPD Deputy Chief John Ducker … logic questioned. to all comers. Why isn’t Victoria using property taxes from those businesses for the extra policing needed?

By the way, Frank Leonard is also wrong on Victoria’s closing of neighbourhood police offices.

When I checked recently, the police office adjacent to the Esquimalt firehall is still open and staffed on weekdays – live interacting people were there.

Perhaps Leonard listened to Esquimalt politicians who cannot see the half block from city hall to that police office, even with those quite visible Victoria police vehicles sometimes there.

The big question is why voters elect stumbling politicians like Desjardins, Fortin and Leonard, who are unwilling to perform their duty.

The reason for government is protection of the individual.

Police are the front line of that protection.

In digging into the bunfight, as you should, consider the possibility that many mayors and councils want power themselves instead of co-operation.

On several subjects, Frank Leonard seems to be pandering to those who almost defeated him in the last election – neoMarxists, who oppose policing.

Puzzling.

Foundation guide dog returns ‘sense of security’ Daniel Palmer News staff

Robert Gill is terrified of living alone.

His anxiety stems not from being the victim of assault or robbery, although Gill would argue his illness inflicts a similar psychological toll.

Instead, it’s Gill’s epilepsy, a seizure-inducing brain disease, that shattered his sense of security four years ago and continues to prevent him from everyday considerations like taking a secluded vacation or managing a high-stress job.

“The first time I had a seizure, the hospital put me into an induced coma for three weeks to let my brain relax,” he says.

Lately, the seizures have been occurring monthly in addition to complications brought on from his multiple sclerosis.

Yet Gill, 40, does live alone, save for his two-year-old black Labrador, Naveed. She moved in last week, the 2,000th lifesaving guide dog trained by the Lions Foundation of Canada and the second dog gifted to Gill. His last canine companion, Starsky, retired two weeks ago.

Thanks to $25,000 in training from experts at the Lions Foundation’s facility in Oakville, Ont., Naveed is an expert in emergency response.

When Gill suffers a seizure, she immediately slaps a lifeline disc on the floor to call paramedics.

“She’s a response animal, so if I’m outside and have a seizure, she’ll sit beside me and bark until someone comes to help.

And if I need the phone, she’ll come bring it to me,” he says.

Gill and Naveed spent nine days training together under

Don Denton/News staff

Robert Gill poses with his black lab Naveed, the 2,000th guide dog from the Lions Foundation of Canada. supervision in Oakville before returning to Victoria last week.

His voice carries the emotion of a man given a new lease on life as he praises the generosity of the Lions Foundation and its donors.

“They’ve given independence to 2,000 people at no charge,” he says.

“I just have an enormous amount of appreciation, because I really do have

independence because of what they’ve given me.”

The Lions Foundation began in 1985, training dog guides for people with visual disabilities.

Since then, it has grown to train dog guides for people with hearing and physical disabilities, epilepsy, autism and diabetes. The foundation receives no government funding. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Catching a 25-pound spring salmon with her dad after a day-long fishing trip was the epitome of happy father-daughter experiences for Cheyenne Duguay.

The 16-year-old Saanich Peninsula resident submitted a photo of herself and her dad, Dan, with the prize fish they landed at the mouth of Victoria Harbour after six hours in the boat, for Black Press’ online Father’s Day Barbecue Giveaway.

“What a surprise after six hours without a bite, and then finally landing this amazing and very tasty salmon,” she wrote in her submission.

Duguay’s entry, one of more than 100 photographic entries received of people with their dads, was selected at random as the winner.

She received a Weber charcoal barbecue and bag of charcoal briquets, courtesy of Capital Iron, along with a $100 gift card to Glenwood Meats in Langford.

Her name headlines a prominent Vancouver art school, and gallery space across Canada is devoted to her work. Emily Carr by most measures is B.C.’s most famous and enduring artist.

But she didn’t receive much recognition until later in life, and a healthy part of that can be attributed to her friendship with a young, deeply talented Victoria artist named Edythe HembroffSchleicher, who, like many Canadian artists, has faded into obscurity.

Oak Bay author and art historian Christina Johnson-Dean has shed new light on HembroffSchleicher’s fascinating life as an artist and author in The Life and Art of Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher, which is part of the Unheralded Artists of B.C. series by Mother Tongue Publishing.

Hembroff-Schleicher (19061994) grew up in a well-to-do family in view of Craigdarroch Castle on Craigdarroch Road in a house that still stands today. Her father owned a Goodyear tire store.

Edward Hill/News staff

Oak Bay author Christina Johnson-Dean shows a self-portrait of Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher in her new book that explores of the life of the adventurous and unsung Victoria artist who befriended and influenced Emily Carr.

“She had a silver-spoon childhood. She had modern clothes, cars and cameras,” Johnson-Dean said. “The wonderful thing about Edythe is she was totally a 20th century person, and went through the changes and opportunities of the 20th century. She also went through two wars.”

She attended art school in Vic-

toria and San Francisco, and then in France. Independent and adventurous, the young artist painted across Europe and tasted success in Paris – she exhibited in a salon in 1930 open to professional artists. She returned to Victoria in the wake of the Great Depression.

Victoria-based Emily Carr read about Hembroff-Schleicher in the

society pages and called her up.

Despite a 35 year age difference, they developed a close friendship.

“They had a wonderful time sketching together in Cordova Bay at what became McMorran’s (Beach House). They went together to Goldstream to sketch,” Johnson-Dean said. “Emily Carr wanted to mother young Edythe.

But Edythe held her own. She was professionally trained artist.

“Edythe got (Carr) to try something different. Emily Carr liked trees. Edythe wanted to paint pulsating flesh. Emily Carr loved the landscapes. Edythe loved people and things.”

She even painted a striking portrait of Carr, which the young woman threw in the garbage.

Someone retrieved it, recognized Emily Carr and it now hangs in the Vancouver Art Gallery.

Hembroff-Schleicher met her second husband Fred Brand, a University of B.C. math professor, through Carr's circle of friends.

The husband and wife team organized a number of exhibitions at UBC for Carr. Hembroff-Schleicher also convinced the provincial government to buy Carr’s Kispiox Village painting. “Carr used that

money to get a caravan called the Elephant,” said Johnson-Dean, a special education teacher currently at Colquitz school.

Hembroff-Schleicher would go on to write two definitive books on her friend and became the provincial authority on Emily Carr.

Hembroff-Schleicher had left her volumes of personal papers and four or five photo albums with the B.C. Archives, but Johnson-Dean couldn’t find her paintings.

“She left wonderful photos of Cordova Bay and of daily life in Victoria," she said. “But it was strange. I had no art of hers.”

After Johnson-Dean sent out calls for help, a sharp eyed employee at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria found two boxes of Hembroff-Schleicher's work in storage.

“Bingo bonanza. It was all her award winning paintings and all her personal papers,” JohnsonDean said. “It was loads of personal papers that explained her life.”

Johnson-Dean launches The Life and Art of Edythe HembroffSchleicher on June 29, 8 p.m. at the Victoria College of Art, 1625 Bank St. The event is free. editor@saanichnews.com

Camp opens doors to autistic children Daniel Palmer News staff

Summer camp is traditionally a right of passage, allowing kids to explore nature and make new friends while parents get some much-needed rest and relaxation.

But one independent school is offering a unique summer program for autistic children who would otherwise miss out on the experience.

Elizabeth Buckley School’s MusArt program takes children ages 7 to 11 into nature while teaching them critical social and communication skills through storytelling, music, art and science.

The program is aimed at moderately high to high functioning children with autism, so many have higher verbal skills, said Laura Lane, behaviour interventionist and special needs educational assistant at the independent school.

“I’ve been working with children for quite awhile and really have a lot of joy in doing that, so I thought this program would be a nurturing space and environment to create a sense of connection

and positive feeling,” Lane said.

Each week of camp will include four main themes focused around elements of nature - earth, water, air and the sun.

The program will be facilitated by Lane and a behaviour support worker with a maximum of five participants.

“A lot of it is to have a fun summer experience for these children,” she said.

“They’ll probably teach me a lot, to be honest.”

Autistic children take time to learn simple social cues, and they can benefit significantly from social games in a therapeutic context, Lane added.

“You might say hello and might not get a response right away or at all. That’s one skill we work on and explain why that’s important. In their world, it doesn’t necessarily make sense. … Children with autism, it’s hard at first to compromise and let go of that control.”

For more information about MusArt, call Elizabeth Buckley school, located at 1309 Hillside Ave., at 250-995-6425 or see elizabethbuckleyschool.com. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Museum seeks input on changes Victoria institution plans major upgrade Don Descoteau News staff

Three months after the Royal B.C. Museum announced the start of a major upgrade of the nearly 50-year-old facility, it invites the public to offer suggestions on the plans.

The first of many community consultation sessions to be held around the province is tomorrow (June 22) in the museum’s Clifford Carl Hall. Visitors will have a chance to speak to the project architects and museum executives and get an initial overview of the project.

“We want the community’s feedback on the preliminary thoughts we’re hav-

ing about the future of our site,” said the museum’s chief operating officer, Angela Williams. “We want to know what’s important to them. Things like what are the attributes of the museum that they love, what would they like to see improved, how can we entice them to stay longer and what makes their visits here easy or difficult.”

The museum’s goal is to improve the preservation and safe storage of its massive collection, through everything from seismic upgrades to technology improvements in the buildings.

The RBCM contracted the internationally renowned, England-based firm of John McAslan to serve as lead architect for the project. The company has worked projects that include King’s Cross Station in London and the Iron Market in Haiti.

Victoria-based Merrick Architecture is working closely with McAslan and the museum to develop and interpret the visions created for the project.

The master plan for the project, which also involves the adjacent B.C. Archives, is expected to be complete by September. The stated objective is to see significant changes to the buildings by 2017 and full completion of the plan by 2021.

A web presence also goes live June 22, for people to comment electronically.

“We really want to hear the dialogue, for good or bad,” Williams said. “This is the people’s institution and we have to be able to accept comments and suggestions.”

The consultation happens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information visit royalbcmuseum.bc.ca. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Waving a flag for paratriathletes Self-Transcendence call for para-athletes Travis Paterson News staff

Getting back in the saddle was never a problem for Victor Van den Boomen.

Not even a severe spinal injury in 2007 kept the former Ironman triathlete from training and racing.

This summer Van den Boomen is on track to do the Self-Transcendence Triathlon at Elk Lake as part of a relay team. It’s significant only because race organizers are trying to encourage, and include, paratriathletes.

Paratriathlon will debut at the 2016 Summer Paralympics and is on the rise.

Van den Boomen isn’t sure he used the word when he first competed as a paratriathlete in the summer of 2008, only eight months after his devastating cycling injury on the Pat Bay Highway that left him unable to walk.

He did the entire Olympic-distance event with the organizers permitting a 5 a.m. start time to accommodate his slower speed.

Despite damaged vertebrae in his neck and back Van den Boomen can still swim and bike as well as some able-bodied athletes, and can hike along at a decent clip, though running is out of the question. He uses hiking poles to straighten his stride, a unique gait that adapts by swinging his right leg forward.

This year he’s opting to do the swim on a relay team at the 34th Self-Transcendence

Since retiring this year, he has upped his regimen and taken on a new endeavour, strapping into a race model wheelchair with the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon as a goal.

“I was crashing the bike a little too often. I’m not as efficient a cyclist as I was.”

A winning pass late in the race helped Mike Haslam take the 2013 Strawberry Cup at Western Speedway in Langford on Saturday.

Haslam passed Lance Wade in the late stages of the 35-lap, non-wing sprint car event. Wade, Mark Stuart, and Jeff Bird finished next in the top four positions, respectively. Chris Root also had a strong showing at fifth place.

Western Speedway hosted the Strawberry Cup weekend on Friday and Saturday with the Old Time Racing Association, dwarf cars, Richlock Rentals non-wing sprint cars and winged sprint cars events, all open wheel events with the non-wing sprint as the main event.

Picnic keeping café owners busy (250-590-5737); 1019 Fort St. (250-590-1201) picniccoffee.com

Saanich honours green business

Don Descoteau Biz Beat

You could say Jon Perkins, Melissa Byrnes and Benji Coey are having a picnic while they search for a new venue for the Fort Street Café.

The trio are busy operating Picnic, a coffee, soup and sandwich outlet that opened four years ago at 506 Fort St. and added a second location four months ago at 1019 Fort St. We caught up with Perkins at the new café, brewing up beverages in the upper section of Victoria’s Antique Row, an area he called “a nice neighbourhood.”

“It feels like everybody knows everybody’s name around here,” he said, putting a slight twist on the old Cheers TV show motto.

The second site for Picnic came about on the recommendation of the folks at Power to Be, the youth recreation advocates who moved in upstairs about the same time.

The two groups had worked together in past, Perkins said, and the location had potential.

So far, so good, he said. New customers are coming in all the time and the flow of “regulars” is increasing for its lunches, all made from scratch.

Fort Street Café, which was launched six years ago in the space under the B.C. Shaver Shop at 742 Fort St., was one of the city’s prime local entertainment venues for music, comedy, open mike and Fringe Festival theatre before closing last year when its lease was not renewed.

The group is still actively looking for a new home for the popular eatery and cultural hub, but Perkins said there’s no panic. “It has to be the right space and the right fit.”

– Picnic, 506 Fort St.

John Oughtred and Oughtred Coffee and Tea were recognized

by Saanich’s environmental and natural areas advisory committee last week for promoting and modelling sustainable business practices.

The company, celebrating its 40th anniversary this year, sources most of its non-coffee materials in Greater Victoria, Vancouver Island or Vancouver. It has taken steps to reduce its environmental footprint, through waste management and diversion and energy reduction, and its local operation has been carbon neutral since 2009.

The Saanich office was the lone Canadian agency to achieve the status, reaching about $500,000 in sales.

Riders go to new extremes for cancer fundraiser

Tour de Rock members plan 24-hour ride around UVic’s Ring Road in July Kyle Slavin News staff

Kevin Nunn is no stranger to pushing himself to the extreme, all for the sake of improving the lives of kids with cancer.

The 50-year-old civilian quartermaster for the Saanich Police Department raised more than $45,000 in 2011 and 2012 by pushing his body to its limits – a run from Duncan to Saanich, and walking a half-marathon pulling a BMW Mini – to benefit the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

This year Nunn was named to the 2013 Tour de Rock team, and he and three of his fellow riders have decided to take their fundraising efforts another step further.

“To keep the extreme going, I think a 24-hour bike ride is, again, well out there,” Nunn said. He, along with Saanich cops Lisa

Bruschetta and Doug Franklin, and Oak Bay reserve constable Aubrey Blackhall, will ride nonstop around the University of Victoria’s Ring Road for 24 hours in July.

“The motivation (when riding for so long) is just thinking about the kids. Think about the 24 hours that they’ve got to stay up when they can’t sleep because they’re in so much pain from their chemotherapy treatment,” Nunn said.

Blackhall, 20, says he’s remembering his grandmother, who died from cancer, and young niece as motivation. While his two-and-a-half-year-old niece isn’t battling cancer, he knows it’s a disease that doesn’t discriminate.

“This is my insurance policy if she ever does happen to get stricken with cancer. I’d like to know that I fought for her even before she needed it,” Blackhall said.

The day-long ride will begin at 1 p.m. on Friday, July 26 and end at 1 p.m. the following the day.

Tour de Rock riders, from left, Kevin Nunn, Saanich police quartermaster, Saanich police Const. Lisa Bruschetta, and Oak Bay reserve Const. Aubrey Blackhall are planning a 24-hour ride around UVic’s Ring Road to raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society.

enough stamina and endurance to take up the challenge.

Last year two Sidney-based riders raised more than $6,000 riding for 24 hours.

Nunn says he hasn’t pulled an all-nighter in at least a decade, since he was in the British Armed Forces.

“I’ll hopefully try to get a few good nights sleep the nights leading up to the ride, eat well, train well, The Original Home Improvement Specialists have lots of fluid on board and just focus on why I’m riding: the youngsters,” he said of Under his preparations.

New Blackhall says the Ownership Tour de Rock experience – mostly training – has been very positive so far. “It’s been great. I couldn’t ask for a better team. We’re getting more and more like family every day, and everyone’s here for such a good cause.”

While each team member sets their own personal fundraising goal, Nunn says the goal of the 24-hour ride is “as much as possible. Every penny counts.”
