Beer making

a family affair Brewing beer at the Four Mile House in View Royal is a family effort.

Owners of Four Mile House launch West Shore’s first microbrewery Edward Hill News staff

The old ghosts of Four Mile House are never short on entertainment. The historic Tudor building has hosted many souls over the past century as a roadhouse for stagecoaches, a dance hall turned brothel after the Second World War and now a neighbourhood pub and restaurant. To cap off its evolution, the Haymes family has installed the West Shore’s first microbrewery and the latest entrant into Victoria’s renowned craft beer industry.

Wendy and Graham Haymes bought the rundown roadhouse in 1979, and ushered it into the modern era. Graham Haymes junior, 32, manager of the business, says owning a brewery has never been far from their minds. “We’ve been planning this since Day 1, since (my parents) built the pub in the 1980s. Now we’re finally ready to take the plunge,” he said. “It felt like the right time. The market for craft beer has exploded. “We see that demand and feel we can be successful and competitive. It’s something we can do to differentiate us from other pubs. Certainly we’re the only

place on the West Shore that is brewing beer. Everything else is downtown.” Stainless steel fermentation and conditioning tanks that make up the bulk of the brewery lie below the pub, at parking lot level. Last week it was a busy hive of work as the family installed the final touches to the gas-fired brick brewing kettle, built in the English beer-making style called the Peter Austin brewing system. Doug White, brother of Wendy Haymes, tested samples of fermenting ales in a small laboratory, under the watch of Alan Pugsley, a brewmaster from Portland, Maine.

“This project has been with me for years, and now we’ve got it going,” White said. “The learning curve is there, but we’re confident with Alan backing us up.” White trained in traditional English beer making under Pugsley at the Ringwood Brewery in England in the 1980s, and called on the 32-year career brewmaster to install the Four Mile brewery and formulate its six initial beers. Pugsley was instrumental in setting up Shipyard Brewing Co., in Maine, and has installed the Peter Austin system throughout the U.S. and Canada, and in more obscure places, such as Redtown Brewery in Siberia and Mopa

Brewery in Nigeria. Victoria certainly has quality beer, Pugsley said, but the brews at Four Mile will measure up. “The most important feature to produce the best beer is years of experience. You have to pay attention to the raw material, refine the formulation to work with the style of beer to produce something that is unique, interesting and world class,” he said. “These will stand out, it’s high quality. They’ll be different than the competition. And the water here is beautiful for brewing.” PLEASE SEE: Brewery on ‘bucket list’, Page A13

Kindergarten drives worry for parents Development level remains a big question as tots transition to school Charla Huber News staff

No matter how eager a child is to enter kindergarten, there may be a little anxiety for parents. Sue Tonnesen, principal at Hans Helgesen elementary, has spoken to many parents over the years who were nervous and wondering if their kids were ready for the big step to school. Kindergarten registration for the Sooke School District began Jan. 27 for September intake. Some parents arrive concerned if their child is born at the end of the year and would be the youngest in the class. Others are worried when their child can’t use the washrooms by themselves, or has trouble with scissors, Ton-

nesen explained. “Sometimes they have accidents and some of them need their little bums wiped,” she said, noting that it’s OK for children learn potty training in kindergarten. “When the little ones come into kindergarten they are very tender, they have only been on this earth for five years. Parents shouldn’t worry too much about their development,” said Gerri Washbrook, a Hans Helgesen kindergarten teacher. “Kindergarten isn’t about reading and writing. It’s about playing, sharing and socializing.” In kindergarten children are expected to dress themselves when going outside. Parents can now start letting children assess the weather and make decisions about what type of

jacket they should be wearing and if they need other items like hats and gloves. Both educators stress its important for parents to spend a lot of time reading with their children. “It improves their attention span,” Tonnesen said. While there is no specific set skills children must learn before entering school, parents can spend extra time with child helping them share, be patent and using manners. “It’s nice if they can use scissors and to hold a pencil properly it’s hard to change once it’s been established,” Washbrook said. “It’s also nice if the children can recognize their own name and print it.” “These kids come in with a wide range in skills and abilities,” she said. “That’s the beauty if kindergarten, they come here to learn all that stuff.”

One of the key challenges for new kindergarten students is speaking clearly so they can be understood by their teacher and peers. “It’s important to ensure your child is intelligible,” Tonnesen said. “If parents don’t have an older child in school they may not have a baseline for their child.” Often day care centres with early childhood educators can help parents learn if their children are having difficulties with their speech and language pathology. ECE workers are also at the Strong Start programs offered through SD62 for preschoolers. Familiarizing a child with the school they are attending can make the transition in September much easier. Parents are encouraged to bring children to the school for a Strong Start program or to play at the playgrounds to get used to the surroundings. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Teachers party like it’s 2002 School district could see smaller classes, more educators in wake of court ruling Edward Hill News staff

Students across the West Shore and Sooke could have smaller classes and more educators if the Ministry of Education abides by this week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling. The court reaffirmed that the government acted illegally and unconstitutionally when it removed class size, class composition and support staff ratios from the teachers’ collective agreement in 2002. “The court concluded that the government did not negotiate in good faith with the union after the Bill 28 decision,” Justice Susan Griffin wrote, referring to the 2002 law. “One of the problems was ... their strategy was to put such pressure on the union that it would provoke a strike by the union. The government representatives thought this would give government the opportunity to gain political support

for imposing legislation on the union.” “It goes to the heart of what we’ve been saying: public education has been grossly underfunded since the cuts, and there has been a direct impact on classrooms and delivering quality education,” said Ian Johnson, president of the Sooke School Teachers’ Association. It’s too early to know the full implications of the ruling, but Johnson expects complying with all aspects of the 2002 collective agreement would be expensive. “Impact to the district could be substantial, depending how it’s funded,” he said. “Whether the pay burden is on the district or more money is channeled through the Ministry of Education will be the big question, but it will be costly.” SD62 superintendent Jim Cambridge said the district is compliant with legislation in terms of class sizes, but under the 2002 collective agreement, problems would arise at schools like Lakewood and Happy Valley. “If class size were reduced, we’d have to move kids out of those schools,” Cambridge said. “If the class size of 2002 is implemented again … some class sizes would be bigger and some smaller, mostly smaller,” he said. ”But it was different for

every district in the province in 2002. It wasn’t common, it was locally bargained.” SD62 might be in compliance now, but under the rules from 12 years ago, Johnson said he’s aware of dozens of violations “relative to the 2002 class sizes.” Class composition too is critical, he said, which dictates the number of special needs students a teacher can oversee. “There has been some effort in our district to keep class size at 30, but that doesn’t speak to composition. A class might be at 30, but there’s nothing to preclude … having six or more special needs students who need more intensive instruction,” Johnson said. Cambridge doubts the current ministry funding model could fund smaller class sizes and more support staff, such as librarians and support teachers. The B.C. government is considering an appeal of the ruling. “It doesn’t reflect government’s view of the case and the facts in the case,” Premier Christy Clark told a Kamloops radio station Tuesday. Education Minister Peter Fassbender said he is “disappointed” by the ruling, and ministry staff will study it before deciding on a possible appeal. -with files from Tom Fletcher

Nature K sign up Monday at Sangster

Parents will be camping at Sangster elementary this weekend to secure one of 22 coveted spots for SD62’s nature kindergarten program. Registration for nature K begins Monday, 8 a.m. at Sangster elementary, 3325 Metchosin Rd. and is first come, first serve. A parent is sponsoring a portable toilet for the expected camp out on the basketball courts. See naturekindergarten.sd62. bc.ca for more.

els players helped set up for the children’s Christmas party at the Legion in December and the New Year’s Levee in January. “We bring the muscle,” said Elise Pastro, Rebels co-president. “The players come and can have the place set up on half an hour.” The Legion is also supplying a trophy case for the Rebels players to have a display of past accomplishments. The Rebels are hosting a Superbowl party on Sunday, Feb. 2, from 1 to 10 p.m. at the Legion, the first of many fundraisers the team hopes to host

at the new location. “The team has endless costs,” Pastro said. “We have a lot of old debt, league fees, equipment and supplies. Last year we probably spent about $2,000 just on tape.” The Legion is hoping this new partnership will also boost membership, by drawing in a new crowd. “We were looking out in our community to partner with a youth program that would fit well with us,” said Dave Bennett, Legion president. “The Rebels were kind enough to say yes. It’s been very good so far.”

OUR VIEW

Start listening to the courts T

his week’s B.C. Supreme Court ruling that elements of legislation around teacher bargaining rights are still unconstitutional, and served to provoke a strike, should stand as a final warning to the B.C. Liberals. The decision, announced to great fanfare from the B.C. Teachers Federation, was the second such determination by Justice Susan Griffin. In 2011 she ruled that Bill 28 – enacted in 2002, it stripped class size and composition from the collective agreement – was unconstitutional. Part of her reasoning was that it removed the right to bargain those items in future. She gave the Liberals a year to sort things out, but the government ignored the ruling and kept those elements out of Bill 22, the 2012 legislation that expires on June 30. Education Minister Peter Fassbender, whose government has an eagle eye on costs, was no doubt nervous about the consequences of the ruling. The net result could see teachers and special needs assistants hired around the province to allow for smaller class sizes. He voiced disappointment with the ruling and claimed to have sought collaboration and co-operation in his discussions with the BCTF. That makes for a good sound bite, but government needs to focus more on the big picture, which means looking at the effect of its actions on the end users: students. No doubt it would cost more to create smaller classes, through hiring extra teachers and installing more assistants to work with students with special needs. But it would be a worthwhile investment. While we’re all for a fair bargaining structure, this is about more than teachers having slightly better working conditions. With less students in the room, those who need more individual help would, theoretically, have more chance to get a few minutes of their instructor’s time. Measuring that benefit to students, which is how governments must gauge such decisions, may be difficult in the short term. At the very least, returning class size and composition to contract discussions is a step toward creating a better learning environment for our children.

Question

of the week

YOUR VIEW

Neil Young’s opinion counts Re: Old man take a look at your facts (B.C. Views, Jan. 22) Tom Fletcher calls Neil Young’s tour to raise public awareness of the Alberta tarsands “an American enviro-assault on its dependent northern neighbour.” Neil Young, a Canadian, speaks with passion and first-hand knowledge after witnessing the tarsands project, about the Conservative government policy toward First Nations and the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline project. Young expresses a viewpoint held by many Canadians. Piping bitumen from Alberta’s tarsands through British Columbia to the ocean, then shipping by supertanker to China, defies common sense. Can we assume the bitumen will even make it safely through Enbridge’s oil pipeline to the Pacific? If it does leak, it will have disastrous effects on First Nations communities, their way of life; as well as fisheries, wildlife and tourism. Joe Oliver, Harper’s Minister of Natural Resources, suggests current technologies will safeguard the environment from any potential accidents. Let’s assume the bitumen makes it through Enbridge’s pipeline without a leak all the way to its B.C. coastal destination, Kitimat. The next step is loading the bitumen onto super tankers, which then have to navigate through the channels out of Kitimat.

Should class size and class composition be included in teachers’ contract negotiations? Answer online at www.vicnews.com

These multi-hulled tankers are no match for what is known as one of the most treacherous waterways on the planet, with its narrow channels and rugged edges; likely unforgiving to large ships swaying in the waves. An oil spill has the potential to cause immeasurable environmental damage along Canada’s West Coast, likely spreading out towards Vancouver Island and beyond. Assuming these super-tankers make it safely to China what are the consequences then? The world is constantly made aware of the Chinese population suffering the effects of horrendous air pollution. Is this northern pipeline project safe and healthy for our small planet and all the species which live on it? Where are the visionaries to wean us off our addiction to oil? We need leaders to lead the way toward a brighter, safer, cleaner world, not those who are bringing us back into darker ages. Paul Connolly Victoria

Last Week

we asked you:

– police forces do co-ordinate on traffic safety, though a single dispatch system would expedite that. Co-ordination with departments outside the Greater Victoria area might have, such as the Shawnigan Lake RCMP. It is of course a big city, with many side streets to hide in. But I suggest police would more likely have found the troubled driver if they were on the street more often. Police should be discretely positioned near major intersections such as Douglas Street and Saanich Road, Gorge and Tillicum roads, Gorge and Admirals roads, McKenzie Avenue and Highway 1, and Vernon Street near Saanich police headquarters. They’d catch more drunks and other dangerous drivers earlier and potentially save people’s lives. But voters behave as though they don’t want to prevent such a driver, who could have killed someone walking, bicycling, or driving. They elect officials who would rather spend on glitz, pet do-gooder projects, and handouts to moochers such as TV show promoters. Voters are getting what the majority chose. With municipal elections looming they should rethink their behaviour. Keith Sketchley Saanich ••• Send your letters to editor@ goldstreamgazette.com

Welcom Welcome me to the driver’s seat

Durango is yet another example of what Chrysler is doing right. I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family. Zack Spencer

Visit the Durango gallery at DrivewayBC.ca

One bad Durango in a good way The 2014 Dodge Durango test truck was the perfect Christmas treat. This is the perfect kind of vehicle to have when you need to cart around extra kids and family from events like skating parties to Christmas dinners to anything else that needs getting done over the festive season. With three rows of seats and seating for six or seven passengers, the Durango is a large comfortable vehicle for any large family or a family of four that needs to take extra people to soccer or hockey practice. The Durango tester was the top of line Citadel model with a beautiful two-tine interior, large polished wheels and classy looking grille. It was not fitted with winter tires but we had no skiing plans, plus all Durango models come with AWD as standard equipment. Looks I can’t remember the last time a large SUV turned heads but this model had passersby, friends, and family all taking notice. Several neighbours commented on the stylish “racetrack” rear light bar that has migrated from the Dodge Dart and Charger sedans to this big SUV for 2014. Because of standard AWD and other packaging changes, the starting price is higher than direct competitors, the Ford Explorer or Nissan Pathfinder. Both those vehicles have a base model that starts around $30,000, the Durango, in contrast, starts at $39,995 and tops out at $51,995. This Citadel model, with options, is over $60,000. The base model comes nicely equipped with 18-inch wheels, keyless entry and

Handling point for the Durango is the amount of space it offers over three rows for 6 or 7 passengers. My youngest son loved climbing into the third row and could actually stretch out. I even tried it out and can report that adults have plenty of room in any seat. The Citadel model came equipped with a stunning two-tone interior featuring black carpets and tan seats.

Verdict This latest Durango is yet another example of what Chrysler is doing right. It is loaded with the latest technology, has a class leading 8-speed automatic, attitude and room to spare. I enjoyed my entire time with it and so did the rest of the family, we even gave it a name, “The Badongo” I don’t know why, but it really is one Bad Durango. If I can read the tea leaves for a moment, I would bet the EcoDiesel will be coming to the Durango, hopefully sooner rather then better.

by an electric motor, it’s still classified as a PHEV. A small on-board gas engine generates electricity when necessary. The new Honda Accord Hybrid (an HEV) further blurs the differences between HEV and PHEV, as it uses the same two-motor powertrain used in the Accord Plug-in Hybrid (a PHEV edition sold only in selected markets). At speeds under 80 km/h the road wheels are driven by an electric motor and its Atkinson cycle gas engine is only used to generate electrical power when needed.

‘‘

Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle..

the Accord Hybrid starts at $29,590, which is only $135 more. The top-line Accord Touring V6 sells for $35,400 and the Touring edition of Accord Hybrid is $36,690, just an extra $290. The price differential is almost non-existent. Choosing HEV or PHEV boils down to whether an owner can take full advantage of the plug-in electrical storage feature and normal driving commutes are within the electric-only speed and distance range of the PHEV. A low-speed urban commute allowing the PHEV to charge at home overnight and topped-up again while at work would be an ideal scenario. While the popularity of hybrid vehicles continues to grow, barring a sudden spike in the price of oil/ gasoline, a meteoric rise in the popularity of alternatives to the old reliable gas engine vehicle is unlikely. Then again, who knows what the future, or the next twist in evolution, will bring. Hybrid vehicles have never been more affordable and certainly well worth consideration, if you’re thinking about buying a new vehicle.

OVER $1,000,000 WORTH OF PREMIUM USED VEHICLES FOR SALE

Tesla CEO Elon Musk recently equated hybrid vehicles to early amphibians that hopped out of the oceans, learned to survive on land, and eventually disappeared. Ironically, if the electric vehicle (EV) evolved in a similar way, Tesla (an exclusively EV company) wouldn’t exist. Despite the early birth of production EV, hybrid (HEV) and now plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) sales continue to rise, new models continue to arrive and at least three all-new PHEVs are expected this year. An HEV functions like or similar to, a conventional gas-engine vehicle, from a driver/owner perspective. It consumes substantially less fuel, especially in an urban environment, and a regenerative braking system can greatly extend the life of brake friction pads. A PHEV increases the energy saving, money saving, and greenhouse gas reducing advantages by tapping into an electrical source and pulling relatively inexpensive electric power off the main grid. It then uses this energy to go further on electrical power alone. How far depends primarily on the capacity of its storage battery, but also on the drive system, the terrain and weather conditions and how the PHEV is driven. Lugging around a bigger battery obviously increases the weight of a PHEV and it takes up either passenger cabin or trunk cargo space. The latest lithium-ion battery packs are lighter and more compact, but the space sacrifice is something that a prospective owner must be willing to live with. Hybrid owner feedback is generally positive and the fuel savings can be substantial. That said, you generally pay a premium for this technology, but that gap is rapidly narrowing. Last year, GM slashed $5,000 off the price of its popular Chevrolet Volt, the best selling PHEV on the market. While GM promotes the Volt as an “extended range” electric vehicle, as its wheels are always driven

Tesla Model S proves simpler is better Settling into the driver’s seat of a Tesla Model S is like pressing a reset button on the brain. Sure, it’s a sedan with four wheels, and the brake and acceleration pedals are where they should be, but that’s about where conventional driving knowledge ends. “For a lack of a better analogy, you’re driving a giant drill,” says Lance Merkin, store manager at Tesla’s Seattle showroom. Tesla’s all-electric 85 kWh performance motor produces an adrenaline rush of 443 lb-ft of instant and unhindered torque. With no conventional motor or gears to clunk through, the Model S goes 0-100 km/h in as little as 4.2 seconds. “And it will get a little bit under 500 kilometres to a charge,” Merkin says. “You can drive from Whistler all the way to San Diego and not pay a cent for the trip because of all the superchargers we have up and down the interstate.” Tesla extends its range

Daniel Palmer

A Tesla Model S near a charging station outside the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria. Don Denton photo by using an alternator to harvest brake energy and recharge its battery, a process that means the brake pedal gets less attention. The Model S is already steeped in industry praise as Motor Trend’s 2013 Car of the Year, TIME’s Best Invention of the Year 2012 and Consumer Reports’ highest score ever given to a car. Thanks in part to accolades, the company doesn’t spend a dime on conventional advertising, relying instead

on enthusiastic owners and roaming test-drive events to generate buzz. Key Tesla selling points are its sexy design and reliability. With an eight-year, unlimited-kilometre battery warranty and only one moving part in the motor, consumers avoid commonplace mechanical problems associated with a conventional car as it ages. “You don’t have pistons and clutches and mufflers and hoses. It’s very simple,” Merkin says.

Inside, modern luxury options include a convertible-like all-glass panoramic roof, 1795 litres of storage space (including the front hood) and a rear-facing child seat to increase seating to seven. The Model S runs between $62,400 (60 kWh) and $87,400 (85 kWh performance), putting it in direct competition with the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6 on price point. “Except this is much faster and handles better, doesn’t need gasoline, and you’ve got all this tech going for you,” Merkin says.

Victoria Chinese Public School students (front, from left) Melanie Liao, Britney Chow, Riann Nguyen and Carmen Gau lead the dragons with colourful ribbons as they practise their dance at the school on Fisgard Street. The students will lead the annual Chinese New Year Parade this Sunday, guiding the lions to the school’s stairs, where they will meet local dignitaries then make their way around Chinatown. Firecrackers are set off to scare the bad luck away, and the lion dancers and drummers follow, bringing prosperity and good luck to the businesses who hang lettuce (and cash) in their doorways.

Year of the horse begins today Lunar calendar is the basis of the Chinese system Chinese New Year – this year on January 31st – is one of the most joyful times on the calendar for gathering with family and friends. Get into the holiday spirit with centuries-old customs such as wearing red, recognized in Chinese culture as the luckiest colour. Be sure you don’t clean your house or cut your hair on New Year’s Day, as you’ll sweep and chop your luck away for the coming year. And married couples, don’t forget to give out red packets (with money inside) – it’s a tradition singles and kids look forward to. People born in the Year of the Horse are often characterized as high-spirited and lively,

cheerful and charming like the animal they represent. They are typically quite popular and often found at parties. The date of Chinese New Year changes each year as it is based on the lunar calendar. While the western Gregorian calendar is based on the earth’s orbit around the sun, China and most Asian countries use the lunar calendar that is based on the moon’s orbit around the earth. Chinese New Year always falls on the second new moon after the winter solstice. Other Asian countries such as Korea, Japan and Vietnam also celebrate the new year using the lunar calendar.

BUYING TIP | Talk to a municipal planners about heritage rules before buying a designated home

Don’t discount heritage homes in search Due dilgence critical when looking at an older home Don Descoteau News staff

Lara Hurrell fell in love with James Bay when she was staying in an older home that had been converted into apartments. So when it came time for her to look for a home to purchase, she knew what she wanted: to stay in the neighbourhood and to find a heritage home. Last fall she moved into a cozy James Bay house built around 1910. Finding a place that was not only full of character, but “move-in ready” was like a dream, she says. “The home inspector told me (this) was a real gem,” she says. “I really kind of hit the jackpot with this home.” The previous owner had done a fair amount of restoration work, from replacing the flooring with hardwood Douglas fir to returning the windows to their original leaded stained glass style and installing various updated but period-style fixtures. Despite its relatively small size, the home has three bedrooms and plenty of room for what she needs, Hurrell says. She advises people looking to purchase heritage or

The house was restored to heritage standards by its previous owner. character homes to do their research and make sure they know what they’re getting into. “The initial house I saw, I knew it needed a lot of work,” she said, adding her realtor advised her that home might eat up a lot of her savings. “I was lucky. This one was move-in ready.” In her research with the Victoria-based Hallmark Heritage Society, Hurrell, who was specifically looking for an older house, found her future home had been

Dave Layzell and his wife, Sharon, recently sold Dashwood Manor, a large bed and breakfast on Cook Street at Dallas Road, after operating it for eight years. He says older homes have a special appeal and keep people rooted in the past. “When you do live in that kind of heritage home, it is very difficult to ignore the sensation of knowing there’s been several generations of people living there before

you,” he says. As Hurrell found, not all heritage homes are created the same or are in the same condition. But veteran realtor Patrick Skillings says the numerous well-kept heritage homes in the region are a big part of maintaining the visual appeal of our city from a tourism standpoint. “Victoria is the No. 1 city for heritage retention in B.C. by far,” he says, noting that New Westminster is a distant second. “The beauty of older homes is the streetscape they engender

and the image they project to the world.” Skillings is a definite fan. He is a director on the Hallmark society, the Capital Region’s watchdog for built heritage preservation, and spent eight years on the board of the Victoria Heritage Foundation, a City of Victoria program that educates owners of character homes about available restoration grants and the heritage designation process. While the market for heritage homes can be tricky to navigate – younger buyers are more likely to be interested in newer homes, he admits – there will always be buyers looking for the unique materials – like solid wood – and design features that older homes include. “Assuming the house is well-maintained, the quality of construction will win the day,” he says. Hurrell, who lived in Calgary previous to her apartment stint, put to rest the misconception that owners of designated heritage homes are handcuffed by regulations when it comes to making alterations. “A lot of people are under the impression you can’t change the interior of the house and that’s generally not the case,” she says. “Talk to the heritage foundation about what you can and cannot do. Once you do your due diligence, if you find the outside works for you, then the inside is no problem.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
