On a roll for his daughter

Mike List plans to wheel around Centennial Stadium at UVic for 24 hours during the 24 Hour Relay this weekend, in honour of his daughter, who is confined to a wheelchair. List, who can walk, has been training on a wheelchair at the Oak Bay High track for the past three months. Edward Hill/News staff

Greater Victoria man plans 24-hour wheelchair marathon at 24 Hour Relay Edward Hill News staff

When most people in Victoria are sound asleep early Sunday morning, Mike List will be on the University of Victoria stadium track, grinding out lap after lap in a wheelchair. The 52-year-old truck driver and father of three daughters is taking the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay to heart. He’ll take breaks here and there, but List plans to wheel himself around the Centennial Stadium track from 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday, a 24-hour wheel. List doesn’t use a wheelchair, but he’s taking on the marathon roll to better empathize with his daughter Amanda, 20, who has spina bifida and is confined to a wheelchair. “She has gone through surgery more than 30 times. It hits me hard,” List said. “I decided I felt it’s my responsibility to wheel a mile in her shoes, to get a feeling of what she goes through mentally and physically every day.” List conceived of the idea nine years ago, after wheeling the TC10K in honour of his daughter, but that wasn’t challenging enough. The stars aligned this year for the busy dad to start training again. Most days he and his chair could be

found on the running track at Oak Bay High, pushing through what he described as incredibly boring hours of training. “I always wanted to do 24 hours, but I procrastinated. Now nine years later because we started going to the gym, it’s the perfect time to do it,” he said. “All three of my girls inspire me. With Amanda and all she has been through inspires us all. She inspired me to push a little further. The 10K was a taste. This will push me to the limit.” The 24 Hour Relay raises money for Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan, a camp for kids with disabilities, and typically, most teams operate in a relay, looping the running track and Ring Road. Team Wheels for Seals will have List’s friends and family as support, but the Esquimalt man plans to be on the track for 24 hours. They’ll have extra wheelchairs for people to participate, and he’s encour-

aging anyone – especially those with special needs – to roll with him for a lap or two. Amanda will join him for his first and last laps. “Mentally, a lot of inspiring things will keep me going. A close a friend recently passed away, I’ve got a team shirt for Baby Molly. My three daughters will be (motivating) me until 10 a.m. Sunday morning.” After training for three months, List said he’s physically fit – “this (wheelchair) has become part of me,” he said while popping wheelies at the Oak Bay track – but the challenge at UVic will be a mental game. “I’m looking forward to the adrenaline, the atmosphere and the people, and won’t think of the pain – I’m hoping. The first few laps I think I’ll feel it, then I’ll go numb. “It’s one, two, three, four in the morning I’m concerned about. I’ve got a portable DVD player I’ll velcro to my lap. I’ve got a few ideas to keep me going.”

This 19th annual 24 Hour Relay has 29 registered teams taking on the challenge, which is down compared to last year, said Craig Heinz, with the B.C. Lions Society for Children with Disabilities, which sponsors Camp Shawnigan. “This year may have less teams, but most have been part of the event for two three or four years,” Heinz said. “We’ve seen a drop in teams, but the fundraising is holding steady for the past few years.” Last year the 24 Hour Relay in Victoria raised $464,400. The 24 Hour Relay for the Kids starts 10 a.m. on Saturday at UVic’s Centennial Stadium. The public is invited to participate and take in the fun until 8 p.m. For more information or to donate, see 24hourrelay.com.

Saanich aims to stem loss of tree canopy

Stuff the bus today at Tillicum Centre

District proposes tougher tree protection rules

IN BRIEF

Mustard Seed Food Bank is hoping to receive a busload of food to help feed some of the region’s neediest people in the coming months. The goal of today’s (Friday, June 21) 12-hour Stuff the Bus event at Tillicum Centre is to fill a B.C. Transit bus to the brim with food, toiletries and cash donations. “We are heading into a challenging time of the year for the most vulnerable populations in Greater Victoria who rely on food banks,” said Mustard Seed director Brent Palmer. “During the summer months, school lunch programs are no longer available to the 1,700 children who are fed every month.” Stuff the Bus runs from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today at the Tillicum Centre Safeway (3170 Tillicum Rd.).

Memorial garden opens at Royal Oak

A memorial garden for families who’ve lost an infant or whose pregnancies ended in miscarriage or stillbirth will open Saturday at Royal Oak Burial Park. The Little Spirits Garden is the first of its kind in Canada, and will be a dedicated place where parents and families can grieve the loss of a baby. A Walk to Remember fundraising walk will take place before the opening from the burial park mausoleum at 11:30 a.m. to the entrance of the new garden, where an official opening ceremony will take place. So far $112,000 has been raised for the Little Spirits Garden, which will go to providing memorial options to parents at little or no cost. Royal Oak Burial Park is located at 4673 Falaise Dr. For more information on the Little Spirits Garden opening, visit awalktoremember.ca.

With the amount of tree canopy cover in Saanich eroding, the municipality is looking to toughen up its existing tree preservation bylaw in hopes of protecting what’s left of the urban forest. The changes include adding more species – grand fir and big leaf maple – to Saanich’s list of protected trees, and reducing the size threshold for cutting to put even more protections on seedlings and young trees on private property. “We lost about 2.5 per cent of our canopy cover between 2005 and 2009, which equated to about 280 hectares of canopy cover,” said Cory Manton, Saanich’s manager of urban forestry, horticulture and natural areas. “If this trend continued forever, you’re going to find an imbalance at some point where the trees are no longer going to provide the benefits that they do for us today.” Manton says those four years between 2005 and 2009 saw the amount of mature tree canopy decrease in every neighbourhood and every zoning class in the municipality. According to Saanich’s Land Cover Mapping report from 2012, the Douglas neighbourhood – around Uptown and municipal hall – lost 34.4 per cent of its treed land cover in that four-year span. The problem, Manton said, is a lot of trees are removed to make way for development. Because these developments – buildings, roads, driveways and the like – are impervious obstacles, the amount

Rae Roer, Saanich's manager of parks, stands in a Garry oak meadow at the Cedar Hill golf course. The municipality is currently looking at making its tree preservation bylaw more stringent to curb the continued loss of Saanich's urban forest. of available planting land is also shrinking. By amending the bylaw, Saanich hopes to sustain or even grow the urban forest, but that will take time. “The bylaw’s a measure to stem future loss, but also to require replacement tree planting so you shouldn’t have a net loss in the overall canopy in the long-term,” Manton said. “Even though, tree for tree, you might be replacing a big tree with a little tree, that little tree will grow to be the big tree.” Saanich staff presented the proposed amendments at an open house at Cedar Hill golf course earlier this week. While many people said the changes don’t go far enough, some

felt the changes are too stringent. “Property owners are supposed to own their property, and Saanich is continuously eroding their ability to care and control their property and the trees on it, all in the name of environmental concerns,” said Saanich resident Fraser Ramsay. “It’s an easy sell, but it makes it more difficult for residents to control their property or the foliage on their property. That really irritates me.” Rae Roer, Saanich’s manager of parks said the benefits of Saanich’s urban forest are being eroded. “The overall vision is to protect and enhance the urban forest,” Roer said. “Protecting relates to smaller species, and enhancing means

Protecting trees n The proposed bylaw changes include protecting arbutus, Garry oak, Pacific yew and Pacific dogwood based on height (taller than 50 cm), rather than thickness. n Visit saanich.ca/ amendingtreebylaw for a full list of proposed changes.

replacement, so if there’s going to be loss, we’re replacing them to prevent future net canopy loss.” Staff hope to present the amended bylaw to council in November. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Langford man nabbed for string of Saanich auto crimes Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich police believe the arrest of an extremely active property thief could put an end to the recent rash of thefts from vehicles. A man, well known to police, was arrested at Tillicum Centre around 5:40 p.m. on June 4, by an officer who identified him earlier that day as a suspect caught on video break-

ing in to cars in the 200-block of Regina Ave. Police caught a break when a resident of the Regina Avenue apartment complex called police that evening after spotting a man matching the description of the suspect at Tillicum Centre. Saanich police arrested the man at the mall, who had in his possession identical clothes worn by the suspect in the video.

Liam Charles Williams, a 32-yearold Langford resident, faces charges of thefts from vehicles and possession of stolen property. Sgt. Steve Eassie said Williams was arrested in late May by Central Saanich police and was released on conditions. Since his release, there was “a dramatic spike” in thefts from vehicles in Saanich, until his arrest on June 4.

Earlier this month Saanich police said 14 thefts from autos were reported in the first four days of June. A total of 37 were reported in May, which was at least double the number from recent months. Williams is being held until his next court appearance on June 26, where he’ll face a raft of charges from offences in Saanich and Central Saanich. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Royal B.C. Museum seeks public input on proposed changes Don Descoteau News staff

Three months after the Royal B.C. Museum announced it was undertaking a major upgrade and renovation of its nearly 50-year-old facilities, its management is inviting the public to offer suggestions on the plans. The first of many community consultation sessions to be held around the province happens Saturday (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 what the RBCM hopes to achieve. “We want the community’s feedback on the preliminary thoughts we’re having 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 housing the artifacts. The RBCM has contracted the internationally renowned London, England-based firm of John McAslan to serve as lead architect for the project. McAslan and company have worked on such projects as 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 B.C. Archives next to the museum, is expected to be completed by September. The objective is to see significant changes to the buildings by 2017 and full completion of the plan by 2021. A record of feedback from Saturday’s session and those in communities around the province will be created, and 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 on the museum, visit royalbcmuseum.bc.ca. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Haro Woods rezoning before council Monday

“Bigger thinking, Better design, Bolder ambitions” Professor Jack Lohman, CBE; CEO Royal BC Museum

A rezoning application for Haro Woods as part of land swap between Saanich and the Capital Regional District is set to come before council on Monday (June 24). The proposed rezoning, if approved, would put protections on the land to “secure the long-term preservation of the vast majority of lands known as Haro Woods as a nature park,” reads the report to council. A portion of the current Saanichowned land is slated to be used by the CRD for sewer infrastructure, with a plan to install an underground attenuation tank that would temporarily hold wastewater to prevent downstream overflows. The report reads that a long-term plan for Haro Woods, 90 per cent of which will be protected, will be undertaken with residents to determine the best future use of the nature park. Monday’s committee of the whole is at 7:30 p.m., 770 Vernon Ave.

Saanich police are investigating why a driver crashed into a hydro pole on Vanalman Avenue Monday night. Police say a 32-year-old Victoria man collided into a pole at about 9:30 p.m. on Monday between Glanford Avenue and the Pat Bay Highway. Witnesses to the incident smashed one of the car windows in an attempt to rescue the driver, who was initially unconscious. He was transported to Victoria General Hospital with undetermined injuries. The Saanich police traffic safety unit is investigating if the man was driving under the influence. The vehicle had an breath interlock system.

Learn to Swim for Life

Friday, June 21, 2013 - SAANICH

Students dive into high-tech to solve problems Camosun’s Capstone event highlights energy-saving app Kyle Slavin News staff

Swimming is a skill for life. It is another way to look at life. If you make the choice to learn to swim you could save your life and possibly the life of someone else. Learning to swim opens up a variety of other water sports to play and provides a lifetime of health and fitness opportunities. Register your children in Red Cross Swim Lessons. They will learn valuable lifesaving skills and how to make wise choices around the water. Give them confidence when in and around the water. This summer join us for swimming lessons for all ages, including adults. At Saanich Commonwealth Place and Gordon Head our staff are trained and certified to give you swimming skills for life! For more information pick up our Active Living Guide and call one of our Saanich Recreation Centres or look online at www.saanichrec.ca

Edward Pang and Chris Rail haven’t even graduated from Camosun College yet, but the pair has already created a smartphone application that may help business owners save money. A working prototype of the Building Occupant Comfort app is their final project as part of the school’s two-year computer systems technology program. The Android app allows users to remotely monitor and control indoor environment settings like lights, room temperature and building occupancy. “There’s a lot of features implemented in our app. From your phone you can look at the occupancy: ‘Oh, no one’s in that room? I better turn the lights off or turn the temperature down,’” Rail said. The students were paired with Reliable Controls, a Victoria-based company that develops technologically advanced building controls like HVAC systems for large office and commercial buildings. While Reliable Controls already has software that allows users to monitor their systems from a desktop computer, they used Pang and Rail’s newly acquired expertise to put those abilities in the palm of your hand. “It’s quite a complex application. There’s a lot of background activi-

ties that occur to ensure that the app is constantly updated live, on the fly, so you’re essentially getting real-time reports on the status of your indoor environment,” Rail said. “So programming this was quite challenging, however we’re really happy that we were able to develop a product that hides all the tricky stuff from the user.” Saryta Schaerer, chair of Camosun’s computer science department, says she’s always impressed by the final projects the students create. For three decades, Camosun grads have put these projects – where they’re paired with industry clients – on display at the annual Capstone Symposium, held this week at the Pacific Forestry Centre in Saanich. “We pride ourselves in our students having a breadth of knowledge coming out of our program, so they can go into a specialty or into something they enjoy,” Schaerer said. “Industry likes the fact that we create these generalists, that they have these multiple areas. They’re not just web programmers, they’re not just Java developers – they can go almost anywhere with minimal training and plough forward because they’ve already had an introduction to it.” The Capstone projects this year also included tech-savvy creations like a remote automated weather station and an aerial drone navigated by GPS. “I wouldn’t know where to start had I not taken the program. All the coding experience aside, just learning the project management skills and the problem-solving skills were huge,” said student Nick Dronsfield,

career in the technology field on different levels – like being able to do presentations and speak with clients and gather requirements and solve any problems, if necessary, and also the technical coder skills to be able to deliver solutions for clients,” Rail said.

who, along with Shannon Graham and Kameron Chow, created a website called Up in Saanich, where residents can discuss and create Wikipedia-style pages on local topics of interest.

But unfortunately (for them) they appeared to have caused people to have their attention drawn to them,” said

Sgt. Steve Eassie. The woman, in the 3900-block of Quadra St., provided detailed descriptions on the suspicious people and a licence plate number of their vehicle.

Eassie says investigators determined that Victoria officers actually stopped the vehicle a couple hours earlier, after the suspicious persons call to Saanich. “They did speak with known parties in the vehicle, one who was well known to them, which is what prompted them to stop the vehicle,” Eassie said. “Unfortunately the (Victoria officers) weren’t aware we were looking to speak with the occupants (in the vehicle) at the time this occurred.” Charges of break and enter to commit theft and possession of stolen property against a 27-year-old Sooke female and a 25-yearold male from the Malahat area will be forwarded to Crown.

OUR VIEW

Put the brakes on heritage loss T

ime, as they say, is fleeting and history never stops being created. In families, when 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 building 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 taken 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 by 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.

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. Peter Sandmark executive director ProArt Alliance of Greater Victoria

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. J.D. Mahovlic Victoria

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. Gordon Pollard Victoria

Policing cost logic doesn’t make sense Re: VicPD deputy accepts challenge (column May 31) Unfortunately in setting Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard straight on Victoria’s response to calls such as noisy parties, VicPD Deputy Chief Const. John Ducker supports the fallacy that funding is not in balance because Victoria has the troubled downtown activity that the suburbs do not. But Victoria gets revenue from the properties and businesses that peddle booze

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. Keith Sketchley Saanich

ou 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,

New road leads to Langford Cruising along in a pink Cadillac, Langford Mayor Stew Young was in the first car to drive on the Leigh Road interchange last Saturday evening. “I was surprised by how many vehicles were waiting to use the interchange,” said Michelle Mahovlich, Langford’s director of engineering. The three ramps opened at 6 p.m. on the interchange that had sat idle for years due to a slowdown in property development in the area. Crews have removed the signal lights at the Trans-Canada Highway and Spencer Road. Traffic exiting Langford onto the highway will now use the interchange via Leigh Road. Crews are working on the highway for the next week and will continue work on the interchange for about one month. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

mium in the busiest branch – Central. “The way the space is set up we really are looking to reconfigure it to some of the more modern usage patterns,” Sawa said. “With space you need to be flexible and creative in how you use it.” Options include reconfiguration and taking programs on the road. “What I’m committed to is not only making sure your buildings are dynamic, but getting outside of our buildings.” The roughly three million library visits in 2011 were augmented by 1,794,691 website hits. “The biggest change is digital collections,” said Rina Hadziev, head of technical services for GVPL. “Now everybody has at least one device if not several, and

libraries are all about meeting the needs of our communities. We have a lot of people who come in and get a library card who haven’t had one since they were kids.” Traditional users for the most part embrace ebooks, bringing folks back to the library. “To buy books is quite expensive, many people cannot afford to go out and drop $30 (or) $40 on a book,” explained Greg Bunyan chair of the Greater Victoria Public Library board. “This is a resource for the community that people can use essentially free, at least it feels free as a user. The library is one of the last truly open institutions.” However the digital age is not without complications. “For publishers it’s been a huge fee change in their indus-

try. It’s a scary time, I think publishers are rightfully cautious to make the right decisions,” Hadziev said. Some materials available in the hard copy collection are not digital, as some publishers won’t sell those versions to libraries. “Libraries are concerned because one of the core values is equal access. The idea behind public libraries is no matter who you are … you can come in, you’re welcome and you can have access to all the informational and creative wealth of your culture,” Hadziev said. “There’s a real chance that there will be information that will only be available to people who can pay for it … We’re trying to find a solution that works for them and works for our users.” editor@vicnews.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 impor-

tant. 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 informa-

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

Highlands asks feds for second look at soil Contaminated soil from Esquimalt graving docks trucked to local landfill Charla Huber News staff

Resident concerns over trucking contaminated soil into Highlands

sparked council to seek a second look into the practice. 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 assur-

ance, additional vehicles will occasionally follow the loads to ensure nothing is leaving the truck,” said Stacie Dley, Tervita communications advisor. “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.” Highlands is dependent on groundwater and council wants reassurance that water and other environmental and health issues will be addressed. The soil being deposited in Highlands is considered con-

taminated but not hazardous. “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,” said Sébastien Bois, media relations for Public Works and Government Services. “No hazardous waste has been identified in the sediments being remediated.” The remediation project at the federal graving docks is expected to be wrapped up by March 2014. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Ferry services ramp up As a sure sign that summer has arrived, ferries serving the Capital Region are boosting their sailings for the tourist season. The MV COHO switches to its summer schedule June 21 with four daily roundtrip sailings between Victoria and Port Angeles. The Victoria Clipper adds a third sailing to its summer schedule between B.C.’s capital and Seattle.

THE ARTS

HOT TICKET V.I.C.Fest

V.I.C. Fest is a two day outdoor festival in the heart of Victoria at St Ann’s Academy.

Tickets available at Vicfest.ca, Lyle’s Place and Ditch Records.

Unsung Victoria artist brought to light Edward Hill News staff

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

he Society For Indian Classical Arts, a student club at the University of Victoria, hosts Debapriya Adhikary, Samanwaya Sarkar and Suryaksha Deshpande in concert this Saturday. “Victoria has many people who love the sitar and are always asking about sitar concerts and sitar teachers,” said Sridevi Ganti, one of the concert organizers. “Sitar is one instrument that has become very popular and loved among the

western audience.” Adhikary’s enchanting voice merges with Sarkar’s mesmerizing strokes on the sitar, creating music that makes the audience feel as if these young artists have merged into one. They will be accompanied by expert tabla player Deshpande. All the three are Grade "A" artists of All India Radio. “Don’t miss this soulful music concert here in Victoria … There have been sold-out shows in other Canadian cities and we do not want the people

of Victoria to miss out on this amazing event,” Ganti said.

Big salmon catch earns father-daughter team a new barbecue Catching a 11.5-kilogram 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 briquettes, courtesy of Capital Iron, along with a $100 gift card to Glenwood Meats in Langford.

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.” Instead Van den Boomen can be seen circling the Claremont secondary track, where he’s trained with ParaTriathlon on Aug. 4 with regulympic gold medalist sprinter Michelle lar teammates Rob Breathelt Stilwell. on the bike and Steve Fifield “She blows me away, she’s an inspidoing the run. ration.” Not because he is adverse As paratriathlon grows as a sport, to completing the Olympic disVan den Boomen has no problems tance or getting up for a 5 a.m. promoting its worth.

Haslam’s sweet Strawberry win

IN BRIEF

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.

Matt Mansell and Paul Verhagen finished third and fourth. Racing continues on Saturday at Western Speedway (June 22), with

Victoria brothers plan kayak trip of a lifetime Daniel Palmer News staff

While many freshly christened university graduates escape the ivory tower for a beach, lake or backpacking trip, two Victoriabased brothers are taking their love of adventure to a new extreme, kayaking from Brazil to Florida over the next seven months. Graham and Russell Henry left for

Belém, Brazil on June 10 and won't be back on North American soil until January. “I think the biggest hassle has been getting all of our stuff there,” said Russell, 21, before the brothers’ departure. The seed was planted when Russell was tasked with planning an expedition for his adventure sports certificate class through Thompson Rivers University last year.

Thanks to their father’s love of sea kayaking, the brothers were already naturals on the water. “We had custom paddles at the age of five,” Russell said. Early experiences at the YMCA’s Camp Thunderbird in Sooke solidified a love for the outdoors, starting the Henrys on a path that has brought them to their current 6,500-kilometre trek through Amazonian wilderness, heat, isolation and open ocean crossings. “The biggest and scariest factor is the human factor,” said Graham, 22. “You can pitch a tent on a shoreline, but you don’t know what the next person you see will do or how they’ll react.” The trip begins at the mouth of the Amazon River, continuing along the South American coastline to Venezuela, where the Henrys don’t expect to hit civilization for up to two weeks. From there, the brothers turn their sea kayaks, donated by Current Designs, north to island-hop across the Caribbean Sea towards Florida. When they return, the Henrys plan to use their experience to inspire elementary and high school students to dream big and embrace the outdoors. “We want to take this trip as a speaking tour across West-

Mental health cycling fundraiser on Sunday Despite recent leaps and bounds to overcome generations of stigma, mental illness is still largely considered a taboo topic of conversation. The Canadian Mental Health Association estimates 15 per cent of women experience depression at some point in their lives. To help swing open the doors on this quiet minority, the Shoppers Drug Mart Ride, Don’t Hide cycling event is happening this Sunday (June 23). Beginning at Ogden Point, Ride, Don’t Hide participants have the option of a seven kilometre, 18 km or 29 km route through James Bay, Fairfield and Oak Bay. More than 600 cyclists are taking part. For registration info, please go online to ridedonthide.com or call 250-216-4228.
