Saanich broadening rules for farm markets To compete with grocers, farms to sell red meats Kyle Slavin News staff

Peruse the aisles of the Root Cellar Village Green Grocer and you’ll get the impression it’s not like any other grocery store in Saanich.

That’s because it’s zoned as a farm market, as opposed to a commercial property, and that zoning comes with restrictions on what the owners can sell.

“The old bylaw states we aren’t able to sell red meat and some ready-made stuff like a local provider’s hummus or sea salt,” said Adam Orser, owner of the Root Cellar.

Next week a public hearing will be held to discuss removing restrictions on the zoning, which could allow the two operating farm markets in Sannich – the Root Cellar and Galey Farms Market – to be more competitive businesses.

“They’re competing against grocery stores and they’re operating like a David and Goliath situation,” said Coun. Paul Gerrard, chair of the Healthy Saanich committee.

“They’re trying to compete against these large grocery stores and they’re not allowed to sell some of the products grocery stores can sell. We need to support our local farmers, otherwise they’re just going to go under.”

Veteran volunteers Dave Poje and Dick Battles pull ivy in a particularly bad patch in the southern end of Mount Douglas Park.

Hundreds of volunteers across 40 parks in Saanich work to control and eradicate dozens of invasive plants. In 2012, volunteers logged some 6,500 hours removing invasive species. To date this year, it’s been more than 4,300 hours.

A slow, steady battle against invaders Volunteers, Saanich staff work to stem the tide of non-native plants Edward Hill News staff

On the forest floor of Mount Douglas Park, a thick mass of tangled ivy meets raw dirt.

In Saanich’s largest urban forest, this is the frontline against an invading nutrient thief.

It’s a rainy morning in the park as Dick Battles and Dave Poje don gloves and yellow volunteer shirts, and pull English ivy by hand, yanking out endless threads of green until

only earth remains. Ivy roots are shallow, but it grows fast and smothers everything in its path, including the trunks of Douglas firs.

“This is the worst island (of ivy) I’ve ever seen. It’s ideal growing area – flat and wet,” Poje remarks. “The problem here is that the ivy weaves together and is a carpet in every sense of the word. It’s very, very difficult when it’s interlaced.”

Battles and Poje, two veterans of invasive species eradication on Mount Doug are part of a small crew of core volunteers systematically ridding the forest of ivy and its prickly invasive brother, English holly. Scores of volunteer groups under Saanich’s Pulling Together program log thousands of hours each year pulling untold tons of biomass

from Saanich parks.

At Mount Doug, progress is evident. On the east side of Glendenning trail, long strings of dead ivy rot on tree trunks in cleared zones, and ferns and salals have taken root on the floor. A wedge of forest cut by Mercer trail is ivy free, an area that should see native plants repopulate the area in a year or two.

Poje estimates volunteer crews have cleared 170 acres out of 450 over the years.

“You can walk from the west boundary to the east boundary and not hit invasive species. That’s huge. It’s starting to be noticed and visible,” Poje says.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Jail in Saanich goes high-tech

Wilkinson Road Public hearing for piloting biometric Haro Woods Tuesday system that Haro Woods has one final step to overcome as connects inmates Saanich looks to permawith court records nently preserve the forest in Cadboro Bay as parkland.

A public hearing will be held Tuesday (July 23) at Saanich council chambers (770 Vernon Ave.) for residents to provide their say on rezoning the forest.

The process involves Saanich and the Capital Regional District swapping land, giving the municipality majority ownership of the forest.

The CRD will give Saanich 4.33 hectares of forest in exchange for 1.5 ha to house a 5,000 cubic metre underground tank, which is designed to capture overflows from sewer lines during major storms. Saanich will retain another 1.4 ha of forest next to the tank site.

Domestic violence suspect charged

The suspect involved in the Sunday morning firearms incident in Saanich now faces seven charges, including being in possession of a stolen weapon.

Nathan Damien Gauthier was charged this week with possession of a firearm without a licence, careless use of a firearm, unsafe storage of a firearm, unauthorized possession of a firearm, breach of undertaking, assault, and possession of stolen property under $5,000.

Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie says the long gun was stolen from a Victoria residence in 2005.

“We’re not certain the connection between Mr. Gauthier and that incident, but it’s something we’re following up on,” he said.

A domestic violence call to the 3000-block of Earl Grey St. on Sunday resulted in the emergency response team attending, after officers spotted the 26-year-old sleeping with a long gun beside him.

Phil Jacobs to be sentenced today

Phil Jacobs, a former Saanich priest convicted of touching a young person for a sexual purpose, will be sentenced today (July 19).

The guilty charge stems from witness testimony regarding tutoring sessions at Jacobs’ house on the grounds of St. Joseph the Worker Parish on Burnside Road West.

He could face a prison sentence of up to 10 years for the guilty count.

The jail on Wilkinson Road is piloting a computer system that allows inmates easy access to their court documents using fingerprint scanning technology.

Corrections B.C. has rolled out a touch-screen computer terminal system at the Vancouver Island Regional Correction Centre in Saanich and the North Fraser Pretrial Centre, and at five parole offices in the province.

VIRCC has two terminals in the jail, which so far gives about 50 inmates computer access to their records.

Inmate identity is authenticated from their fingerprint, which is encrypted and linked with their files on a closed network within the Ministry of Justice. It’s the first system for inmates in Canada that uses biometric technology.

“This is ground-breaking. To our knowledge no other corrections jurisdiction in Canada has a system like this in place. We are pretty excited about leading the way,” said Marnie Mayhew, spokeswoman for B.C. Corrections.

The system is called Integrated Corrections Operations Network (ICON II), an $11 million project that will see the access terminals rolled out in B.C.’s nine jails and 55 parole offices by the end of the year.

One of the key problems that triggered ICON was the difficulty of providing inmates easy access to evidence and disclosure documents submitted by the Crown.

As asserted by the Supreme Court of Canada, inmates have the legal right to review evidence against them at virtually any time.

B.C. government photos

(Left) An inmate at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre (Wilkinson Road jail) has his fingerprint scanned to allow him access to a computer terminal (right) that is activated using biometric fingerprint data. The computer system allows inmates access to all their court documents.

Most evidence submitted by police agencies and the Crown in B.C. is digital and provided to the accused (and his or her lawyer) on a hard drive or CD. The jail would provide a Internet-disabled computer to the inmate to read evidence files, a process Bill Young, project director of ICON II, describes as “problematic and cumbersome.”

“Obviously it’s problematic for offenders to have access to computers,” Young said. “In (pre-trial) custody, they have the right to access a computer 24 hours per day. We can’t determine when they can access their material. ... And we have to provide that material and evidence in a secure way, and there could be 20 or 30 other inmates in a living area.”

Victoria criminal defence attorney Paul Pearson said for complex cases, the Crown often floods the accused with tens of thousands of pages of evidence. Typically, a defendant in custody would need a computer in their cell for days or weeks to read the documents.

“Material can take hundreds of hours to read through. If you limit that, if you can’t read that stuff, you can’t defend yourself,” said Pearson, of the firm Mulligan Tam Pear-

“At some point you have to connect offenders to the electronic world.

Where will we be 20 years from now?”

son. “Jails struggle with larger cases with hard drives. They don’t like the idea of inmates having unfettered access to a computer.”

Pearson hasn’t seen the ICON system, and said it tweaks privacy concerns, but if it allows inmates better access to court files, it probably is a valuable tool.

“Having access to disclosure documents is fundamental to our justice system,” he said. “Anything that helps that process is a good thing.”

Young said B.C. Corrections worked with the B.C. Privacy Commissioner to ensure the system complies with privacy laws. The ICON system itself doesn’t record actual fingerprints – it creates an encrypted string of characters based on the uniqueness of a fingerprint.

The system uses “off the shelf”

fingerprint scanning technology, but B.C. Corrections and B.C. Shared Services branch created the back-end software that links existing offender and document databases with fingerprint data.

Staff and inmates at Wilkinson Road have given the system a thumbs-up so far, Young said.

Beyond evidence documents, inmates can use it to review court orders, hearing dates, communicate with probation officers, and book medical appointments within the jail. It also eliminates the need for paper documents, which in a jail can be easily lost or stolen.

“Staff like it. It cuts down on routine questions and tasks, and allows staff to focus on supervision,” he said. “We’ve heard offenders like the fact they can look up their own information, and they’d like to see more services like this.”

The fingerprint system will also be used as an additional way to verify the identity of inmates during transfers in and out of jail, and interactions with medical personnel. “It makes sense before medications are issued that the nurse checks that it’s the right inmate,” Young said.

He also noted the computer network is an isolated system, and can’t be hijacked by an inmate to access the Internet or hacked from outside. At the same time, ICON is being assessed through the pilot projects to address security concerns.

Young said jurisdictions across Canada struggle with the problem of allowing inmates access to records but limiting access to computers, and are watching the rollout of ICON. “At some point you have to connect offenders to the electronic world. Where will we be 20 years from now?” Young said.

“B.C. is the first place that has put together an effective set of tools and technology to give access to offenders that protects their legal rights and enhances security.” editor@saanichnews.com

VIHA cuts hit labs, services Earlier closing for three labs; health authority shifts home visits to private partner

play park

in yourhood r neighbou

Over the past decade there have been many studies published on the disconnect between children and nature.

Organized activities, screen time and busy lives are all competing for the child’s time and they are not seeing the benefits that come when you play in nature. Greater creativity, coordination, balance, concentration and socialization skills are some of the many benefits children gain by playing in nature.

These studies are no surprise to us at Saanich Parks and Recreation. For over 20 years we have been offering summer camps in playgrounds around Saanich. Our Summer Neighbourhood Playground Program, or SNPP as it is known, was designed to be an affordable option for daycamps while keeping the children active in the outdoors. There is a weekly registration or daily drop in.

Danielle Pope News staff

Accessing community lab services on the South Island will be trickier for some, as Vancouver Island Health Authority announced this week it will cut hours at three labs and end home visits to collect blood and specimens.

The cost-cutting measures are being made in outpatient services to “redirect the focus on areas of higher use,” said VIHA spokesperson Suzanne Germain.

The move has shocked members of the Hospital Employees’ Union, who say the action is in direct response to the province’s decision to slash spending on front-line health services.

“Of course we are concerned about how these changes will disrupt staff, but many others will be impacted – especially the patients who really can't make it into a lab because they are elderly or frail,”

Volunteers the backbone to controlling invasives Continued from Page A1

Cory Manton, manager of urban forestry and natural areas for Saanich parks, points out forest paths are lines of control.

A few metres away on the east side of Mercer, carpets of ivy choke out native plants and competes with trees for nutrients, water and light.

“Once it climbs in its mature form, ivy can kill.

You see trees engulfed in ivy,” Manton says. “Ivy blocks photosynthesis, and limbs die off. It feeds into the tree through the bark.”

Invasive plants are enough of a problem that Saanich has three staff dedicated to guiding and assisting volunteers, and monitoring invasives that have gained a foothold throughout the community. Manton said they’ve adopted an “early detection, rapid response” protocol to control relatively new invaders. Garlic mustard, for one, started sweeping through Mount Doug five years ago.

“There were hundreds of bags (of garlic mus-

With seven locations spread across Saanich, SNPP is also a great way for neighbours and friends to play together close to where they live.

With an overall theme for each summer, the staff in each park build in activities, games and stories each week that lead to a gathering for the finale at summers end.

If you are still looking for something for your child to do this summer why not give SNPP a try!

natural parks. The ideology of the day was that parks can take care of themselves,” Manton says.

“We’ve learned a lot over the last decade. We’ve got to manage the forests and get the invasives out, or you’ll get a complete monoculture of invasives.”

Ad-hoc volunteer groups have worked on controlling Scotch broom, blackberry and ivy in Saanich for decades, and the municipality has had invasive species on its radar since the early 2000s, but it rolled out an official management strategy in 2011.

By organizing and funding volunteer groups, and figuring out how to control invading species, Saanich is trying to take a leadership role in a region besieged with invasive plants and animals.

“Invasives know no border. If it’s in Oak Bay it will come into Saanich. If it’s in Central Saanich it will come into Saanich,” Manton says. “The Capital Region has the most diversity of invasives because of its climate.”

On this rainy day, Poje and Battles will put in about two hours of labour pulling ivy at Mount Doug. Progress is slow and steady, and both retired men say they can’t think about the vast number of hectares yet to be cleared. It’s one day at a time, one plant at a time.

“I live nearby. For me it’s personal. I want to be in the woods and this is part of my lifestyle now,” Battles says. “I’m out here six or seven cabinet refacing specialists cabinet modification days a week, a couple kitchen modernization euro-cabinet specialists hours per day.

tard) in the first season. Now it’s four or five.

We’ve stopped the spread. There’s no seed source so in this park and it’s under control, but there are another dozen sites in Saanich,” Manton says.

Saanich parks has eight priority invasive species to control, with enemy No. 1 being knotweed.

Bamboo-like, knotweed spreads and grows like a proverbial weed and was originally introduced to Victoria by horticulturists. Unlike holly, ivy or broom, knotweed is controlled through herbicides and isn’t yet beyond total eradication.

“If you try to dig (knotweed) out and leave any in the ground, allows it to spread and move. The roots go deep. It’s very destructive. In England it has impacted property values,” Manton says.

“Some species you can pull out of the ground, sometimes the soil disturbance makes the problem worse if a seed bank explodes.”

Saanich takes its cues from the provincial invasive species strategy, and works with the Vancouver Island Coastal Invasive Species Committee, and the Capital Region Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP), a collaboration between Victoria, Saanich and the CRD started in 2010. It’s a lot of people and resources dedicated to invasive management, which is a fundamental shift in thinking from a few decades ago.

Around 12:25 a.m. Monday a man entered the Carey and Tillicum roads location brandishing a knife and demanded cash. He fled on foot after being given some money.

The suspect is described as a dark- or tanned-skin Caucasian man, approximately fivefoot-six to six-feet-tall with an average build.

He was wearing a white Saanich police image This person robbed the 7-Eleven hooded sweatshirt, a dark at Tillicum and Carey roads on camouflage jacket, dark pants and white running shoes.

The physical description of this suspect is similar to one described to police on June 25 after another earlymorning robbery of the same 7-Eleven, where a masked man threatened the clerk with a screwdriver.

“It is not known if the two incidents are related,” said Sgt. Steve Eassie. “There is no direct evidence that suggests that the incidents were committed by the same individuals.”

Pellet gun damage continues Vandalism incidents involving pellets being shot at vehicles and storefront windows has resulted in nearly $20,000 in damage in Saanich so far.

Two vehicles had their windows broken on July 12, in the 5200-block of Santa Clara Avenue and the 5400block of Alderley Road, near Elk Lake.

“There’s no witnesses to these incidents and no pellets found. We’re not 100 per cent certain that it is a pellet gun, however it is something that can hurl a projectile at a speed that can damage a window,” said Saanich police Sgt. Steve Eassie.

Between June 27 and July 9, six

other damage-related incidents involving pellets were reported in Saanich. One storefront window valued at $12,000 was smashed.

“We are taking these very seriously,” Eassie said. “I’d say to them the same message I give when I find taggers tagging various things: when you get old enough to purchase your own vehicle or your own home, how would you feel if someone would do the same thing to your property?”

Make Your Home Safe for Independent Living Are you a low-income senior or a person with a disability who wants to live safely and independently in the comfort of your home?

Do you have difficulty performing day-to-day activities?

Does your home need to be adapted to meet your changing needs? If so, you may be eligible for financial assistance under the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program.

Find out today if you are eligible and if you meet all of the requirements as a low-income homeowner or as a landlord applying on behalf of an eligible tenant.

To apply or learn more, visit www.bchousing.org/HAFI You can also contact BC Housing: Phone: 604-646-7055 Toll-free: 1-800-407-7757 (ext. 7055)

HAFI adapts homes for B.C. seniors and people with disabilities

Brenda has always been an active woman. However, recent health issues including osteoarthritis in her left knee and losing kidney function have slowed her down. Her mobility is limited and she is now on dialysis three days a week. To adjust to her changed circumstances, Brenda sought help with her daily living activities.

Part of that help came from the Home Adaptations for Independence (HAFI) program offered through BC Housing. Launched in January 2012, the HAFI program provides financial assistance to help eligible low-income seniors and people with disabilities adapt their homes so they can continue to live independently.

Brenda applied for a new walk-in bathtub because she couldn’t safely get out of the tub on her own.

Walk-in tubs include additional safety measures such as anti-slip floors, grab bars, and a very low step in.

Home adaptations may also include handrails in halls or stairs, ramps for

H O U S I N G M AT T E R S

easier access, easy-to-reach work and storage areas in the kitchen, lever handles on doors or faucets, walk-in showers, and bathtub grab bars and seats.

Brenda is a strong advocate for the program and has even shared HAFI brochures with nurses in the renal unit where she undergoes dialysis.

If you or someone you know is having difficulty performing day-to-day activities safely and independently – the HAFI program may be able to help.

Since the program began, more than 300 households completed renovations with HAFI financial assistance, making it possible for seniors and people with disabilities to continue to live in the safety and comfort of their home.

The Saanich-based Victoria Native Friendship Centre has been awarded $15,000 to support local off-reserve aboriginal artists.

B.C. Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad announced winners Monday of a provincewide competition for community-based projects that was launched in February. There were 21 entries and projects in Penticton and Vancouver also won $15,000 each.

“This competition was really about finding out the groovy things that are happening in the communities around British Columbia, and honouring that and recognizing that that’s where the solutions are,” said Paul Lacerte, executive director of the B.C. Association of Aboriginal Friendship Centres.

Bruce Parisian, executive director of the Victoria Native Friendship Centre, said the $15,000 will go toward honorariums that will buy materials and art supplies for emerging aboriginal artists.

“The idea is to get the artist to produce their work, then to auction or sell their pieces, and then

“The idea is to create wealth and put money into the program, and to continue to see growth. We are hoping to generate $50,000 from the $15,000.”

Parisian said for example, the small-scale totem he brought to the ceremony at the legislature on Monday was carved from about $5 worth of wood, but could be sold for more than $1,000.

Renowned artist Carey Newman carved that particular piece,

based on a totem in Cowichan.

Newman is the same artist who carved two full-scale totems that peer over the Friendship Centre today.

Parisian said the program to fund young artists in Victoria will likely roll out this fall. At the same time, students at the Friendship Centre will start carving its third totem, this one representing the Nuu-chah-nulth people. The first two represent Coast Salish and Kwakwaaka’wakw peoples, respectively.

Parisian is aiming to raise the third totem on June 21, 2014, National Aboriginal Day. editor@saanichnews.com

Bylaw pushes support of local food production Continued from Page A1

Currently the bylaw allows for the sale of seafood and poultry at farm markets, but non-dairy processed foods – from dips to honey – aren’t allowed on shelves.

The proposed amendment, if approved, would allow for the sale of locally raised beef, pork, lamb and bison, as well as nondairy processed foods.

“I would far prefer to go up

Oldfield Road and buy local berries, rather than buy them cheaper in the store and they’re imported,” Gerrard said.

Saanich’s official community plan includes a strong focus on food security and local agriculture. “It’s all right to say we’re going to support it, but if you don’t buy their products because you know you can buy it cheaper in a supermarket, then you can’t blame people for going out of business.”

Orser calls the proposed update a “welcome change.”

“It’ll definitely work to legitimize the things we’re doing within our business. We want to use Island producers for all of our meat products,” he said. “It allows us to remain competitive in those markets, as well as a local producer.”

OUR VIEW

Cost cutting wounds seniors E

veryone wants to keep health care costs down, but we have to take a second look at the Vancouver Island Health Authority’s decision to cut hours at community labs and cut out home visits for those who are unable to access labs on their own.

Years ago, our health care system began to move away from the attitude that institutionalization is best. New mothers who previously spent a week in hospital after giving birth are now sent home in hours rather than days. Advances in surgical procedures such as gall bladder removal and even the insertion of stents in the heart now have patients heading home in less than a week.

Cutting costs by amalgamating lab services might make good financial sense, but it doesn’t make sense when we want to promote good, preventative medical care.

There are many more support services available to help keep our senior population at home longer, under the care of family members or even under their own care where possible, in order to keep our health care system from being overburdened.

Removing services that allow easier access to health care is a start down a slippery slope to a decline in the overall health of our senior population that we don’t care to see.

As the “sandwich generation” works to put kids through university while taking care of elderly parents, the availability of home lab technician visits or weekend lab hours is just one more service that allows those of all generations to maintain good health.

Seniors are the people that helped build our health care system. Centralizing lab services or leaving them to the private sector only helps to reinforce the belief the system is now abandoning them.

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, in its Make Health Last campaign, states that Canadians are living longer, but not necessarily healthier. It says on average, we spend our final 10 years dealing with sickness and disease.

However, our health care decisions can have an impact on how healthy our final years are, and the services we are able to access will be a big part of that overall picture.

With our quickly aging population, VIHA must begin now to look for ways to accommodate, rather than alienate our seniors.

What it comes down to is a cost-saving versus lifesaving decision for VIHA.

of CRD vice-chair Denise Blackwell after she publicly criticized the municipality’s opposition to current sewage treatment plans. Soon after, CRD chair Alastair Bryson politely declined the opportunity to dismiss Blackwell, expressing his “full confidence in (her role) in the CRD.” After denying the CRD’s proposal on Monday, Esquimalt issued its own plea to the province, this time asking that the government place all funding for sewage treatment on hold until an independent audit of the entire project is completed.

Should the municipality’s request go unheard, Saanich councillor and longtime sewage treatment critic Vic Derman plans to bring forward a similar motion for consideration by the CRD board, demanding “an extensive, independent review of the current project” before any further work is done.

In its selection of the Viewfield sludge plant site, the CRD ignored public opinion until the last minute.

In the rush to break ground at McLoughlin Point, it ignored Esquimalt council and again dismissed public outcry. Even if the CRD succeeds in appealing to the province to force sewage treatment forward in its current form, this week’s events have made it clear that opposition will continue to grow until the district finds some much-needed humility.

Plenty of benefits to new Hydro investments Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10).

While NDP energy critic John Horgan asserts there is no business case for a nation building project like the Northwest Transmission Line, a line that will bring power to a huge part of the province currently running off diesel generators, our government believes investments such as this are exactly what B.C. Hydro should be doing.

This project will open up world-class mineral deposits and support new mines, like Red Chris, one of the top 10 coppergold deposits in the world.

In fact, the Mining Association of B.C. estimates the line could attract more than $15 billion in mining investment, creating up to 10,000 jobs and generating $300 million in annual tax revenues. None of this happens unless we build the line to provide the power these mines need.

We need to ensure we have a diverse grid that can provide reliable power today, and into the future. That’s why we continue to support new, cleaner sources of power such as wind and run of river. Do these sources produce power at a higher cost than what our heritage assets do? Of course they do.

Like most other things, it costs more today to produce power than it did decades ago. But these sources are cleaner than alternatives such as coal or gas and less expensive than building brand new hydroelectric dams.

We are investing in projects that are powering our needs today and ensuring we will have the power we need for our future. The unprecedented opportunity in liquefied natural gas and other growing sectors such as mining must be supported with stable, secure power. This is what we are building.

You can’t make these kinds of legacy

investments that will benefit all British Columbians without putting pressure on rates. Contrary to some reports, B.C. Hydro is managing its capital projects within its planned budget. There are a couple of projects over budget but most are under budget.

I have been very clear that my mandate, as given to me by the premier, is to minimize rate increases while continuing to make historic investments in Hydro’s infrastructure to grow our economy. I am committed to accomplishing this goal.

Bill Bennett Minister of Energy and Mines

Readers respond: Electric vehicle subsidies, thoughts on being Canadian End electric car subsidies Re: Get ready for Hydro rate hikes (B.C. Views, July 10).

Tom Fletcher’s article reiterates what we have been told for some time.

A large part of the future B.C. Hydro rate increase is caused by the fact that expansion of generating facilities delivers new power at a rate higher than today’s rates.

However, the government is bribing people to switch to electric cars, contributing to consumption increases which will cause rate increases for us all.

Provincial consumption is also high because although the E-Plus contracts with residential customers expired decades ago, the government is choosing to grandfather the “half-price electric heat” offer for political reasons. Also, some large government buildings are still being heated this way.

At the same time, the minister is telling us that we are producing more natural gas than we need, so we should be consuming large amounts of energy to compress it and ship it overseas.

The first step should be to switch to natural gas-powered cars and natural gas heating for almost all homes and large government buildings.

The grant money for electric car purchases should be diverted to incentives for this move.

Right now, electric cars are causing the burning of fuels at distant power plants anyway, because that is where our “last watt” comes from.

Rein Nienaber Saanich

There’s a danger of forgetting our past

I read with interest the recent columns by Simon Nattrass (Rights under attack on Canada Day) and

D. Granlich’s response to it (Columnist’s portrayal of Canada was ‘disgusting’).

Both raise the interesting issue of interpretations of Canadian history and the ways in which we define ourselves as Canadians (often linked to ideas of who we are which may or may not be substantiated).

While we all like to feel good about who we are as Canadians, we must acknowledge that elements of Canadian history are, indeed, not pretty. There’s ample evidence of past (and present) racism, poor treatment of indigenous peoples and Asian immigrants, women, labour organizers, etc.

I believe there is an obligation to learn about and acknowledge our past, for better or worse, so that we can learn from it. How are we to become better Canadians unless we learned what happened (and why it happened) in the past?

When students take my Canadian history classes,

they are often shocked and they wonder aloud why they never learned this history in school. They want to know. They need to know. We all need to know.

Occasionally I will meet someone who suggests that indigenous peoples should simply “get on with it.” I see this as an opportunity for a “teaching moment” because I realize most people do not understand the aboriginal land issue in B.C. I normally ask if they know that Canada amended the Indian Act in 1927 to prohibit First Nations people from hiring lawyers to pursue land claim cases. People don’t know that – and they should. I could also enlighten them on other ways the Canadian government removed land from indigenous peoples.

Sometimes I come across people who use labels to suggest that another’s argument is ideologically based. My favourite is “you liberals.” Another is “Marxist apologist.” My

We have the ability to ask these questions of ourselves and, again, I think we should.

So, in conclusion, I see no harm in Canadians accepting their past, warts and all, and learning from it.

When we try to define ourselves as Canadians, let’s really look at who Canadians were and are, instead of embracing some mythological idea of who we are. The danger comes when we do not know, acknowledge and accept the past.

Showcasing some of Victoria’s best independent musicians

at a music showcase with people who select music for major movies and TV shows. Where she spent much of last year on the road with Bells & Whistles, this year she’s more focused on festivals closer to home in Victoria, and writing material for her second album – “I’ve got a handful of new songs,” she says.

“Half the time I don’t know where the music comes from. Sometimes when I write a song, its my subconscious says what I want to say.

“I suppose I’m an analytical person and I end up writing about people, about what they do and why. I’m trying to write more abstractly, but whatever you write about, people think it’s about relationships.”

Somewhat shoehorned into the folk genre, she describes her sound as alternativecountry, with elements of folk with an edge, in the vein of her influences: Jeff Tweedy, Kathleen Edwards, Fleetwood Mac and Credence Clearwater Revival.

Macpherson has had enough exposure that people are recognizing her on the street in Victoria, or in one case on the ferry, which she admits is an experience she doesn’t expect. Still, for Macpherson the cycle of performing and writing needs to be nearly constant to build a career that doesn’t necessarily pay all the bills yet.

“It’s a balance between performing and doing things to keep up a presence,” she says. “It’s challenging.”

Live n’ Unsigned also features Rifflandia veterans The Washboard Union, the teendriven Royal Canadians and Emily Spiller, a 2011 Vancouver Island Female Vocalist of the Year, for the second incarnation of a show that prides itself on selecting musicians based on their live performance skills, not Facebook “likes,” says by Burley Music, the show’s production company.

“We’re all pretty varied in our having been discovered-ness,” Macpherson says.”It’s cool.

I’m really looking forward to it.”

P

erforming in a steady stream of festivals and writing new material, Steph Macpherson is a busy artist, busy enough that certain details can fly under the radar. Details like the fact she is headliner for a show, in this case the Live n’ Unsigned Summer Folk Showcase in Victoria.

“I just found out,” she said laughing during an interview last week. The 20-something self-described altcountry musician has been on a tear over the past two years. She released her first full-length album Bells & Whistles with Cordova Bay Records last year, toured and showcased her music across Western Canada into the U.S., and is winning boatloads of accolades from the music industry, and more importantly, the fickle fanbase of indie music.

Raised in Gordon Head and a graduate of Mount Doug secondary, Macpherson has her roots and influences firmly planted in Victoria and Vancouver Island. An active songwriter and touring musician since 2009, she is on the trajectory from emerging artist to emerging stardom, making a headlining gig at Live ‘n Unsigned less of a surprise and more of an obvious choice.

“I’ve been performing all my life. At four or five years old my parents had me in voice lessons,” Macpherson says.

“I was very vocal as a child, good at making sounds. Good on my parents for putting me in voice lessons.”

Vancouver Island’s largest outdoor visual art event celebrates 26 years

C

olour will be flowing on Saturday, July 20, as the 26th annual TD Art Gallery Paint-In brushes artists together again for a palette full of talent.

This year, Moss Street will play host to more than 180 featured professional and emerging artists from Victoria and surrounding areas. For anyone who hasn’t seen the community outreach initiative before, the strip allows artists to take their studios to the street to display and produce their work between Fort Street and Dallas Road.

The Paint-In is more than just a free gallery to walk around with the family outside, it doubles as an art awareness and education event that sees up to 35,000 visitors each year.

“This event really demystifies and encourages more people to try their hand at being creative,” says Maryellen Threadkell, Paint-In co-ordinator. “So many people have not experienced the most wonderful of learning situations when it comes to art marking, maybe in primary school, and they think that they can’t do these things. This is an opportunity to see different kinds of art, learn the processes that working artists use, and many [people] sign up for classes that these artists hold in their own studios.”

With a jury picking the final artists out of hundreds who apply each year by April 1, the event also allows participants to access a receptive audience (yes, you can purchase right from the sidewalk). This year, a mobile life-drawing class will offer models, sawhorses, paper and charcoal to anyone who wants to sit down and draw their way to fame.

“People can walk around and really see the difference between carving soap stone, marble and wood. And every paint and medium imaginable is on the street,” says Threadkell. “Honestly, the Paint-In gets better every year.”

More than 200 volunteers and participating artists dedicate at least 4,000 hours to make the annual community exhibition possible. While the show stretches from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. along Moss, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria hosts a by-donation open house from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at 1040 Moss St., with a food and beverage garden from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and music from Kumbia from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.

Also catch the featured “New Extreme Student Art Exhibit,” a collaboration of works from middle school and high school students around the region, at Duttons & Co. Real Estate Ltd. (394 Moss St.) from July 16 to 25.

RED 2 -(Empire 6/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Newcomer Anthony Hopkins joins Helen Mirren, John Malkovich, Bruce Willis, and Mary-Louise Parker as they reprise their roles as retired CIA “black ops” agents marked for death by their own agency. Sure the original was silly, but it was also a clever black comedy that was elevated by sly dialogue and killer performances. Started Thurs.

TURBO -(Odeon/SilverCity/ Westshore) The latest from Dreamworks Animation is a family comedy about an ordinary garden snail who acquires magic powers – and the chance to achieve his dream of winning the Indy 500. With the voices of Ryan Reynolds, Paul Giamatti, Maya Rudolph, and Samuel L. Jackson. Started Thurs.

R.I.P.D. -(Odeon/SilverCity/Empire Uni 4/Westshore) Jeff Bridges and Ryan Reynolds star in a silly-looking action comedy, clearly inspired by Men In Black, about a special force of “undead cops” who patrol the Earth looking for weird monsters to exterminate. Starts Fri. THE CONJURING -(Empire 6/ SilverCity/Westshore) An elite cast including Vera Farmiga, Patrick Wilson, and Lili Taylor star in a haunted house spookfest about a pair of paranormal investigators who get in over their heads when they confront what proves to be a powerful and terrifying entity.

Starts Fri.

★★ NOW YOU SEE ME -(Empire 6/Caprice) The FBI and Interpol combine forces to battle a clever crew of Las Vegas illusionists who seem to be robbing banks … while simultaneously performing for a casino audience.

Despite a great cast that includes Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Jesse Eisenberg, this is a flabby caper film with little magic to it. ★★½ PACIFIC RIM -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) Guillermo del Toro (Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth) helms this Transformersish epic about monsters that attack Earth and are opposed by giant robots controlled by human “pilots.”

This is a skilfully directed and highly imaginative tribute to all those schlocky Godzilla movies of old.

See review in the August Monday Magazine on newsstands now. ★★★½ STAR TREK INTO DARKNESS -(Roxy, 7:00/Caprice) J.J. Abrams retains the helm of the rebooted Star Trek franchise with this entertaining and engaging tale about a youthful Captain Kirk (Chris Pine) tackling a seemingly unstoppable one-man weapon of mass destruction. With Bruce Greenwood, Zoe Saldana, and a sinister Benedict Cumberbatch. ★★★ THIS IS THE END -(Odeon/ Caprice) In this truly whacked comedy, stars such as Seth Rogen, Jay Baruchel and Jonah Hill play themselves as they party at James Franco’s house – only to find themselves confronting a terrifying, demon-filled apocalypse. Although a bit oversold and rather slapdash, this is very funny (and very rude). ★★ WHITE HOUSE DOWN -(Caprice) As if Barack Obama didn’t have enough problems, the White House falls under attack – again! – by terrorists, and there’s only one off-duty cop (Channing Tatum) on the inside who is left alive and able to give the bad guys a thumping.

Basically, this is lots of good actors slumming in a cheesy-fun flick that slowly becomes jaw-droppingly corny and preposterous. ★★★ WORLD WAR Z -(Empire 6, SilverCity/Caprice) Countries topple and armies shatter in the face of a zombie pandemic, as a shaggy-haired Brad Pitt tries to save the world. This is an intense and intelligent movie that uses zombies to embody the more plausible horror of a SARS-like threat to the planet.

OPENING

★★½ DESPICABLE ME 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCity/Westshore/Empire Uni 4) The 2010 original, about a loathsome criminal mastermind who was reformed by the love of three young orphan girls, was a goofy delight.

The sequel, although still clever, is much more scattershot, with an unimaginative plot and unwelcome dashes of mean-spiritedness. Steve Carell, Kristen Wiig, and Russell Brand supply the voices. ★★½ FAST & FURIOUS 6 - (Roxy, 9:15) The high-octane series continues, with ever-wilder stunts.

In this outing Dom’s crew is asked to take down an ex-Special Ops soldier who has morphed into a supercriminal specializing in vehicular warfare. Starring Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, and Paul Walker. ★★★½ FRANCES HA -(Empire 6) Greta Gerwig, the new indie It Girl, stars in this droll comedy-drama about a 20-something wannabe dancer in New York who is having trouble putting her life together.

GROWN UPS 2 -(Odeon/ SilverCityWestshore) Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Chris Rock and David Spade reunite for more zany lowbrow shenanigans as these old pals from high school return to their hometown to find all sorts of craziness awaiting them. ★★½ THE HEAT -(Odeon/SilverCity) In this raucous and sometimes hit-and-miss comedy from Paul Feig (Knocked Up), Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids) play odd-couple cops who will have to learn to work together if they are to stand a chance of taking down the drug lord who’s their assigned target. ★★ THE LONE RANGER -(Odeon/ SilverCity) More proves to be less, as the classic western TV show from the 1950s that featured a masked lawman and his Native American sidekick gets a predictably grandiose treatment from director Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean). Starring Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer. To be fair, this is much slicker and more entertaining than the vindictive critical dog pile would make you imagine it is. ★★½ MAN OF STEEL -(Westshore/ Caprice) Zack Snyder (The Watchmen, 300) helms this occasionally interesting but mostly inflated reboot of the series about the original caped superhero. Starring Henry Cavill, Amy Adams, and Michael Shannon, who is brilliant as the villainous General Zod. MONSTERS UNIVERSITY -(SilverCity) In this prequel to the 2001 animated smash about fuzzy plush-toy monsters, we go back to the early days when Sully (John Goodman) and Mike (Billy Crystal) met at university.

‘Wave at Saturn’ day at Cattle Point star park NASA and the Cattlepoint Urban Star Park in Oak Bay are inviting Greater Victoria residents to “wave at Saturn” today (July 19) at 2:27 p.m.

NASA’s Cassini spacecraft is currently exploring Saturn and is composing a multi-image portrait of the planet.

On Friday, Cassini will be photographing a sector of Saturn’s rings where the Earth will appear in the background as a small blue dot.

“While Earth will be only about a pixel in size from Cassini’s vantage point (1.44 billion kilometers away), the team is looking forward to giving the world a chance to see what their home looks like from Saturn,” Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., said in a release.

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, along with council and others from across Victoria will help to wave at the planet from the newly recognized urban star park, regarded an unusually dark urban setting and ideal for amateur astronomers.

Enduro racing debuts at Hartland

SPORTS NEWS

Enduro blends x-country, downhill

Vike wins rugby medal

UVic Vikes rugby player Kehla Guimond (Stelly’s secondary) helped Canada win its first medal in a team sport at the 27th Summer Universiade in Kazan, Russia.

Canada defeated Great Britain 36-0 in Wednesday’s bronze-medal match bringing Canada’s overall total to 16 medals at the Universiade Games, up eight from 2011 in Shenzen, China.

Travis Paterson News staff

Enduro mountain bike racing is coming to Victoria for the first time on Sunday.

Co-orgainzed by Pro City Racing’s Scott Mitchell, the Victoria Enduro is a 15-kilometre race through the trails of Hartland/Mount Work in Saanich.

“It’s something I’ve been planning for five months,” Mitchell said.

“Enduro racing is really taking off all over. It was the first year of Enduro World Series and it’s gained a ton of popularity, especially with a lot of former and current downhillers.”

Enduro is kind of a new style of racing, a blend between cross-country and downhill. What makes it different is that it’s a head-to-head competitive race with elements of an individual time trial.

“We see it as something where cyclists do the race and then come back next year to beat their own time, or to race with buddies, or maybe to beat their buddies. It’s almost in the mindset of a marathon running event, where riders are trying to finish the ride to accomplish it, not to beat the field,” Mitchell said.

The race is broken up into six stages, three transfer stages, which are not timed, and three special stages, which are timed.

Victoria company Race Day Timing is timing the race.

The race starts close to the Hartland mountain biking parking lot.

Racers begin with transfer Stage 1, which they complete at their own pace, and should take between 20 to 40 minutes, with a maximum time of 60 minutes.

Once racers reach the first special stage, the race is on, and the riders are being timed until they reach the end of the first special stage. Then it’s back to a slower pace for the second transfer stage, again with a relatively relaxed maximum time limit.

Transfer stages are more cross

Kolk is also originally from Victoria.

The South will be coached by the league’s 2012 champion Wenatchee AppleSox coaching staff.

Players are selected by a combination of votes from the Major League Scouting Bureau, WCL

head coaches and fans.

This year’s event is hosting a special guest: legendary Major League Baseball general manager Pat Gillick, who orchestrated the Toronto Blue Jays back-to-back world series wins in 1992 and 93, as well as the 2001 Seattle Mariners, which tied the all-time regular season win record with 116.

The team is also hoping to break the WCL All-Star Game attendance record of 4,156.

of the race. But there was already 50 cyclists registered 10 days out from the Victoria Enduro, signalling a field between 100 to 150.

The Hartland enduro course is a fairly advanced and will be a healthy challenge for an intermediate rider.

Ideal bikes are duel suspension or traditional front-suspension (hard tail) cross-country mountain bikes.

The long-term plan is to make the Victoria Enduro part of a new series under the Island Cup banner with Cumberland and Parksville slated to launch enduro races later this summer.

The prize purse is $700 cash, to be distributed to the top women and men, with additional prizes for the elite riders.

Race time is 11 a.m. More info at islandcupseries.com. sports@vicnews.com

Local auto racer Bill Okell is on the outside looking in as the former champion of the annual GTU series at Riversedge Raceway in Mission. After winning the series from 2006 to 2010 Okell is once again fighting for a top-three spot. Okell’s sitting one point out of third ahead of the seventh and eighth races of the seasonm Aug. 3 and 4.

“It’s the competition getting better after years of success with the MGB,” Okell said.

His modified MGB is still first in the Sports Car Nascar Club of America standings, with a win in Sonoma, Calif., last week.

Juniors off to Callaway worlds Past winners of the Callaway Junior World Golf Championships include Phil Mickleson and some guy named Tiger.

It goes without saying the prestigious tournament, hosted in San Diego this year, is a major tournament for the four Victoria juniors on Canada’s 48-member team.

The Callaway junior world championship draws a field of over 1,200 junior golfers and is a huge week for college coaches, who will be there hunting upand-coming talent.

Representing Victoria are

Naomi Ko in the girls 15-to-17 year old category, and boys Keaton Gudz (13-14), Ethan Ko (11-12) and Jeevan Sihota (9-10).

Carrigan on Team B.C. Thanks to a course recordtying day at the Copper Point Golf Club in Invermere last week, Victoria’s Kevin Carrigan will be on Team B.C. at the 2013 Canadian Men’s Amateur Championship at Royal Colwood Golf Club and Gorge Vale Golf Club, Aug. 6 to 9.

Carrigan was third at the B.C. Amateur Golf Championship.
