Eagles at risk Unauthorized path construction upsets eagles, neighbours
O
ak Bay’s eagles are in the spotlight again, as unauthorized construction on a municipal path left neighbours concerned for the birds’ safety. A stop-work order was issued on Friday, June 14, when a private contractor decided to rip out bushes on a municipal path near the Oak Bay fire hall. Neighbours, concerned about the eagle’s nest in the area, alerted police, and a bylaw officer was sent to assess the damage. The city says it is not yet clear who is responsible for the brush removal, though some clearing was occurring at a private residence in the area and bylaw officers scheduled meetings after the News deadline this week with individuals who may be involved. Danielle Pope “Typically, we don’t have a lot Reporting of activity in the back lanes from the municipal side, and certainly not from the private side,” says Dave Marshall, director of engineering with the district of Oak Bay. “No one is entitled to go out in public land and do work, in any form.” Marshall says it has not yet been confirmed whether the eagles were disturbed in the process, and he is unsure what action will be taken with the individuals involved. Occasionally, some developed lanes are used by residents who set out compost bins or trim the grass. However, it is illegal to perform any unauthorized work on public land, and no permits had been issued for clearing that portion of the path, which stretches between 2290 and 2280 Woodlawn Cres.

A stop-work order was issued last week when a private contractor decided to remove the bushes on a municipal path behind the Oak Bay fire hall (inset photo left). The district has not yet determined if any action will be taken, or if the nesting eagles in the tree above were disturbed. All that remains on the path now is debris from their nest.

Volunteer lay navigator Lorne Mackie is one of the friendly faces that greet new patients at the Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre on Lee Avenue. Sharon Tiffin/News staff
New cancer centre sees added boost from community Lay navigators key component to Patient and Family Care Facility Natalie North News staff
Three months after the B.C. Cancer Agency opened a patient care wing atop its Lee Avenue building, the 10,000-squarefoot space is alive with staff, patients and volunteers – both those working one-on-one with clients and those behind the scenes, fundraising to optimize the services already in place. When Wilma Taylor of the Order of the Eastern Star stopped by the Alex and Jo Campbell Patient and Family Support Centre with her fellow Queen City chapter members to make a donation on behalf of their organization, the person who led their tour of the supportive care facility was a volunteer lay navigator, a central component of the $10-million addition to the agency’s facility. “I’m impressed,” Taylor said. “Everyone’s upbeat and positive; it’s much improved from when I was a kid.” Taylor, co-organizer of the Starlight Pops
Choir Swing Fever concert held earlier this to cancer treatment as far back as Taylor can remember, back to a time when year in support of the centre, alongside a her grandfather was receiving cobalt group of fellow organizers, handed over treatment at the outset of the technology. a $4,000 cheque to staff and followed “The treatment that they received at Lorne Mackie through the wing devoted that time was very scary and now it’s to providing emotional and psychological more than hopeful. I can see a huge support services. change not only in The facility, which the way the patient is opened in March, includes “We guide them informed, but the way a patient information through that beginning it’s a family thing – when library and a wellness room, and a station stage – it’s a bumpy one. one person gets cancer, everyone wants to know for volunteers such as We discuss everything, and to help.” Mackie, who are trained Shaun Lorhan, lead of to lead patients through finances, transportation, a navigation research for everything they need to list of questions to ask the the B.C.

The 146-year-old organization has donated have their own health issues

We weren’t prepared. Now you don’t even think about it for more than a few minutes because there’s so much hope,” Taylor said. “Patients are not just a body or a cell, they’re treating the whole person.” Initial funding for the project came via the 2009 Inspire the World campaign, supported by more than 1,000 Vancouver Island residents and business contributors. In 2013, more than 5,000 people on Vancouver Island are expected to be diagnosed with cancer. The B.C. Cancer Agency’s Vancouver Island Centre provides care to approximately 350 patients daily. nnorth@saanichnews.com

It’s kind of like a threeheaded dragon, just not as scary. The annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival features the races themselves, which attract 2,500 or so competitors to the Inner Harbour for one midsummer weekend. The event, set for Aug. 16 to 18, also features a cultural, food and small business component centred at Ship Point. Then there’s the piece that tugs the heart strings: fundraising for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “The festival has raised $438,000 over five years for the foundation, and the great thing is all the money stays in Victoria,” said Mark Mawhinney, board chair for the Victoria
Dragon Boat Festival Society. The society hosted a kickoff breakfast last week at The Inn at Laurel Point to talk about supporting local business as well as how the races encourages fitness and health. The competition provides a boost to the local economy – of the 2,500 paddlers about 1,500 will arrive from out of town, staying two or three nights or more and filling up hotels. As well, Mawhinney said, an estimated 90,000 people will watch the races, take in musical and cultural entertainment and browse through the multitude of onsite vendor offerings. While the festival is free for the public to attend, Mawhinney is proud of the fact the society is mainly self-sufficient and does not rely on govern-

ment funding to stay afloat, so to speak. Operating money comes primarily from paddlers’ entry fees, while sponsorships and any grant money secured goes toward paying co-op students to stage the weekend events. It’s clear from the number of teams entering this competition – upwards of 80 boatloads are expected for this year’s 19th annual festival – that the sport has taken off. “It’s really the most accessible sport that I’ve ever been involved in,” said Glenys Haskins, the society’s general manager and a paddler herself. “With dragon boating, it’s a sport that you feel like a winner all the way through.” For more information on the festival, visit victoriadragonboat.com. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Cordova Bay Day celebrates 10 years Edward Hill News staff
For its 10th anniversary, Cordova Bay Day is expanding its venues and bringing in a bit more of everything for its community celebration. The party this year is split between the St. David By the Sea church and Cordova Bay Plaza a few blocks south. The church hall and grounds will host about 25 crafts tables and non-profit displays, while the plaza will be the base for a vintage car show, food and live music. “We thought because it’s the 10th anniversary, we’d do it a bit bigger,” said Larry Gontovnick. Gontovnick, Sylvia Burkhardt and Randy Otto, all with the Cordova Bay Association for Community Affairs, are the three-person volunteer crew organizing Cordova Bay Day. Organizing the day – wrangling vendors, food, musicians, an appearance by the Saanich fire department – is a lot of work, they say, but it’s a community worth supporting, and someone needed to step up. “We’ve been at it consistently for the past few months, but the last few weeks have been hectic,” Gontovnick said. “We’re doing it because we want to give
back to the community,” Otto said, “and some of us at the Cordova Bay meeting put our hands up.” The celebration expects to draw 30 or 40 vintage cars from a number of eras, and people can expect an afternoon of live blues music and a brass band. Gontovnick said the event is always appreciated in the community, but the amount of people that attend is largely dictated by the weather. The event helps to highlight the Cordova Bay Association, which most recently has donated to students at Claremont, Haliburton Farms and the Cordova Bay Seniors 55 Plus Association. Otto stresses that fundraising plays a small part of the day. “The mandate isn’t to make money, the purpose is to provide a community celebration for Cordova Bay, where neighbours meet neighbours,” he said. “The goal (for the association) is to break even and put on a good day and a good celebration.” Cordova Bay Day is Saturday, June 22, at the St. David By the Sea Anglican Church (5182 Cordova Bay Rd.) and at the Cordova Bay Plaza (5142 Cordova Bay Rd.)

The issue comes at a contentious time, says Ian Roberts, project manager of the development at 2278 Woodlawn Cres., which started work on June 12. That development has faced a long approval process due to its proximity to the eagle’s nest, but lot owners brought in consulting biologists from the province to ensure construction would not
disturb the nest. Roberts says the overgrowth had already been removed by the time his contractors arrived. “We’ve really gone through all the hoops and we are sensitive to the neighbours’ concerns, so we’re trying to be the good guys here, and doing everything we can to make sure this happens the right way,” says Roberts. Eagle nesting season continues through September. news@mondaymag.com

OUR VIEW
Put the brakes on heritage loss Time, 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.

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.

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

Jobs expected as employers plan to hire Daniel Palmer News staff
A new survey suggests over a quarter of Capital Region employers plan to hire more staff this summer, largely thanks to an upswing in the construction and tourism sectors.

Island ferry services ramp up for summer As a sure sign that summer has arrived, ferries serving the Capital Region are boosting their sailings for the busy tourist season. The M.V. Coho switches to its summer schedule June 21 (the first official day of summer), with four daily roundtrip sailings between Victoria and Port Angeles. The passenger and vehicle ferry will depart Victoria daily at 6:10 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with returns from Port Angeles at 8:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 5:20 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The Victoria Clipper adds a third sailing to its summer schedule between B.C.’s capital and Seattle, departing daily at 11:20 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. from the Inner Harbour. Last Friday, the Victoria Clipper III made an emergency stop in the San Juan Islands after a minor fire in the engine room. Passengers were bussed from Shilshole Bay Marina to their Seattle destination, but Clipper Navigation officials said there was never any threat to passenger safety. The 231-passenger ship was expected to be back in service Thursday (June 20). Meanwhile, B.C. Ferries is boosting its sailings across its fleet for summer travellers as well. Beginning June 26, the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen run will use four vessels that will make up to 32 sailings daily. Check bcferries.com for details. editor@vicnews.com

Residents of Vic West and Esquimalt plan to march across the Selkirk Trestle on Monday (June 24) to oppose 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 sewage project also includes a wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin
Point in Esquimalt. Construction on that project is scheduled to begin in July. Organizer Justine Semmens said the group believes the CRD should reject any plan to locate a biosolids plant so close to residential neighbourhoods. “The Viewfield site … would directly impact the health, safety, and quality of life of approximately 5,000

residents and business owners,” she said. 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. “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 have promised to address public concerns at the open house events. Any changes to the plan, which currently identifies Hartland as the approved biosolids site, will require fresh approval from the provincial government. Rally participants can make signs at Vic West Community Centre, 521 Craigflower Rd., starting at 3 p.m. Sunday. To contact the organizer, email vwactioncommittee@ gmail.com. dpalmer@vicnews.com

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

T
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. Duet of Wind – An Indian (Hindustani) Classical Music Concert is at the David Lam Auditorium, A144 MacLaurin Building at the University of Victoria on June 22, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20/$15 for students and are available at Long and McQuade, Munro’s Books and at the door.

Summer camp opens doors to autistic children Daniel Palmer News staff
Summer camp is traditionally a rite 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 highfunctioning children with autism, so many have higher verbal
The more you get together the happier you’ll be.
skills, said Laura Lane, behaviour interventionist and special needs educational assistant at the school. “I’ve been working with children for quite a while and have a lot of joy in doing that. I thought this program would be a nurturing space and environment to create a sense of connection and positive feeling,” she said. Each week of camp will include main themes focused around the four elements of nature. The program is facilitated by Lane and a behaviour support worker and has a maximum of five participants. “A lot of it is to have a fun summer experience for these children,” Lane said. “They’ll probably teach me a lot, to be honest.” Autistic children take time to learn simple social cues, and can benefit significantly from social games in a therapeutic context, she 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 details about MusArt, call the school at 250-995-6425. dpalmer@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.” 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
Travis Paterson News staff
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. Guy Barrett won the 20 lap winged sprint car series, holding off the eager Scott Aumen, who finished second. Aumen was putting pressure on Barrett at lap 18 but couldn’t make the final pass. Matt Mansell and Paul Verhagen finished third and fourth. Racing continues on Saturday at Western Speedway (June 22), with
