Families await the return of warship’s crew No word yet when Protecteur’s sailors will return to Esquimalt Daniel Palmer News staff

Something old, something new Tracy Yerrell checks to see if a vintage pair of shoes matches her outfit at the fourth annual VintAgeous Vintage Fair at the Fernwood Community Centre last weekend. Hundreds went through the fair looking for that special something.

Hundreds of families and friends of Royal Canadian Navy personnel in the Capital Region are waiting anxiously for the safe return of their loved ones after HMCS Protecteur caught fire last week off the coast of Hawaii.

Protecteur had been scheduled to dock at CFB Esquimalt today (March 5), but a Feb. 27 engine room fire stranded the ship in the middle of the Pacific ocean, about 600 kilometres from Pearl Harbour.

“There’s no comment on how the crew are getting home yet,” said Saanich resident Devon MacKenzie, whose partner, Leading Seaman Curt Korolyk, helped battle the blaze onboard Protecteur.

“The only contact I’ve had with (Curt) has been about three minutes on a satellite phone so that’s been hard,” MacKenzie said. “I only had time to ask him if he’s OK, that sort of thing. He was fairly shaken.”

There were about 300 people, including 17 family members, onboard the naval supply ship when the fire broke out Thursday. Those family members were evacuated to USS Michael Murphy and returned to Hawaii the following day.

About 20 crew suffered minor injuries including smoke inhalation, exhaustion and dehydration while battling the blaze and were treated onboard.

Protecteur and its 279 crew were being towed back to Pearl Harbour Monday afternoon by the U.S. fleet ocean tug USS Sioux.

Last August, Protecteur suffered cosmetic damage when she collided with HMCS Algonquin during a training exercise en route to Hawaii. Both supply ships are slated for retirement in 2015.

“I’m just super proud of (the crew),” said MacKenzie, a reporter with the Peninsula News Review. “They really managed to keep it all under control, and obviously the disaster training they had was really worth it.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

CITY COUNCIL NEWS IN BRIEF

Pay by e-bill, plant a tree The City of Victoria is introducing electronic utility billing for homeowners.

For the first 1,000 residents who sign up for e-billing, Scouts Canada will plant a sapling somewhere in the city on their behalf.

The trees will be bought through a $2,000 city grant, approved by council at a committee meeting Feb. 27.

E-billing will be available at victoria.ca in May.

Webcast means less note-taking

Tom Berkout, a Victoria father lobbying the City of Victoria in advance of its Bicycle Master Plan update this spring, with his family, four-year-old Elara, six-year-old Mateo, holding a copy of the online petition, and his wife Clare outside their home in James Bay.

Cyclists urge city to go big on two wheels Daniel Palmer News staff

Tom Berkhout wants Victoria to live up to its title as the cycling capital of Canada.

Berkhout and a group of bikefriendly residents are launching an online petition to urge the city to set more ambitious targets for cycling during its bicycle master plan update this spring.

“We’ve certainly fallen behind a lot of Canadian cities in terms of cycling investment,” said Berkhout, a Victoria resident who cycles with his wife and two young children regularly.

Berkhout and his colleagues launched a website at bikevictoria.ca with the hope of lobbying Victoria for a comprehensive,

funded cycling infrastructure plan instead of a piecemeal project list.

“You look around the city now and cycling lanes seem pretty choppy,” he said. “We want a 2014 standard, not a 1995 standard.”

About six per cent of Greater Victoria residents reported cycling to and from work in 2011, according to Statistics Canada.

Ottawa came second at 2.4 per cent, while only 1.8 per cent of Metro Vancouver commuters cycle to work. Municipal data isn’t readily available.

Victoria has 25 kilometres of cycling lanes and 2.6 km of trails, including the Galloping Goose Trail, available to cyclists. It also plans to create a 2.5-km, separated bike lane along Dallas Road once work begins on a sewage

pipeline connecting Clover Point to the McLoughlin Point wastewater treatment plant in 2016.

But the projects are being created without good ridership data, said Edward Pullman, president Greater Victoria Cycling Coalition.

“We’ve got cycling counts from the (Capital Regional District and StatsCan), but we need a better idea of metrics and how many people are using the road,” Pullman said. “Then we need to start setting short-term targets for those measured increases on the road.”

The coalition also wants the city to allot a higher percentage of its transportation infrastructure budget to bike lanes, signage and identifying better bike routes. The city is spending about $150,000

on cycling and pedestrian infrastructure improvements in 2014.

“We definitely don’t put five to seven per cent of the transportation budget towards cycling infrastructure right now,” Pullman said.

Berkhout also sent an open letter to Victoria council earlier this month to kickstart public input.

He hopes the letter will inspire others to participate in the process.

“If Victoria is truly the cycling capital of Canada, let’s prove it,” he said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

City staff will simplify minute-taking at Victoria council meetings, now that online webcasts are available to the public.

Council will still have the ability to amend minutes if they’ve been inaccurately recorded.

“This really brings us to the standard that is typical within local government,” said Jason Johnson, new city manager. “When the public is concerned with whatever the debate was, the ability to refer the public to the actual portion of the (webcast) … really answers a lot of those questions.”

An update to online webcast services will also link directly to council decisions in addition to discussion sessions on each agenda item.

Dogs need more consideration Victoria councillors passed a motion at a committee meeting Feb. 27 that requires parks staff to consider off-leash dog areas when updating city parks plans.

The motion was put forward by Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe, who was concerned that a nine-year-old off-leash area report wasn’t being properly considered by staff.

VicPD budget audit delayed Daniel Palmer News staff

A performance audit of the City of Victoria by B.C.’s newly created local auditor general is being delayed another year.

The audit, originally scheduled for release in March 2014, will evaluate how Victoria oversees VicPD’s police budget including its approval and monitoring mechanisms.

Victoria is one of six municipalities undergoing a value-for-money audit by the Auditor General for Local Government, while another 12 cities and regional districts are undergoing procurement and asset management audits.

“We’ve found local governments are more dissimilar than they are similar, so that did require more attention and effort than we originally anticipated, which resulted in delay,” said AGLG deputy auditor Mark Tatchell.

Victoria is being audited based on a formula of population size, geography and because it is only one of 11 municipalities with an independent police department.

Audit topics were chosen based on local government input, media analysis and legislative parameters after the AGLG was created in April 2012.

Victoria’s audit will now be released by March 31, 2015. editor@vicnews.com

Natasha Day and Michell Merrick face numerous charges including possession of stolen property over $5,000 and drug offences.

Three other individuals have been released on a promise to appear in court. editor@vicnews.com

Kids get veggies in the kitchen Christopher Sun News staff

Childhood obesity is on the rise, but a new school program aims to make kids veggieliterate. And the way to encourage that is through education and including kids in making food decisions, which Is what Island Health’s Eat Well, Get Moving program is about.

This ninth annual campaign runs from February to April 30.

Participating schools are challenged to encourage students to increase their fruit and vegetable intake and physical activity. Students are given Crunch and Go cards to track the number of vegetable and fruits they eat, and the amount of physical activity they do each day.

Mya Morgan, 9, and Sean Walsh, 7, prepare carrots as they make breakfast bars at Windsor Park Pavilion, during the launch of Island Health’s Eat Well, Get Moving campaign.

“We know childhood obesity, unfortunately, is still climbing and it’s

important to help children build healthy habits,” said Island Health

In a stiff economy, charity campaigns often scale back expectations.

The United Way of Greater Victoria not only didn’t reduce its 2013 public campaign goal – it remained $6 million, same as 2012 – volunteer efforts allowed the charity funder to very nearly hit its target again.

Raising more than $5.8 million is “an amazing accomplishment,” interim CEO Heather

Gardiner said.

“There’s just no bad news stories when you talk about investing $5.8 million into the community,” she said.

Gardiner called the shortfall, about three per cent of the goal, “almost nothing” and focused instead on the work of volunteers and donors in broadcasting the overarching message of need across the Capital Region.

“I just can’t express enough thanks to the many volunteers and supporters who have helped us raise this amount. It’s amazing to see that many people invest in their community.”

The United Way provided funding for 66 community agencies in 2013, in the areas of children and families, seniors, housing and homeless and more.

Mayor Dean Fortin welcomes the opportunity to meet with you to discuss issues that are important to you in the City of Victoria.

encourage them to keep track of the fruits and vegetables they eat and to actually do it everyday.”

Cards are collected at the end of each month and entered into a prize draw. Some of the monthly prizes include class pizza parties, Thrifty Foods grocery store tours, passes to local activity centres and sporting events such as skate and pool parties for an entire class.

Grand prizes, based on classrooms and schools with the highest participation level, include a Sportball program for 10 classes, balloon creations by ParT-Perfect Victoria and a full program package at the Boys and Girls Club Outdoor Centre.

United Way hits $5.8 million Fundraising campaign a hair away from $6-million goal

MAYOR’S OPEN DOOR

In terms of fundraising, Gardiner said some issues “beyond our control” left a couple of major supporters unable to contribute at previous donation levels.

Otherwise, the campaign ran smoothly, she said.

The Agent of Change slogan, with its secret agent-style graphics, captured people’s imaginations and helped them see they could contribute to changes in their community, she added.

The organization began working on the 2014 campaign in December. They expect to do some minor tweaking and connect with some new potential donors as a way of moving forward. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Youthful Island leader needed Politics is not a beauty contest, but there is something to be said about youthful enthusiasm, and so far the BC NDP leadership race is looking more like an ad for the Hair Club for Men. It’s not that the grey or follically challenged aren’t necessarily up for the task, NDP needs it’s just that if dynamic leadership the NDP would like a snowball’s to get ahead chance in heck of lighting a fire under voters, it’s got to get a handle on its leadership.

If we learned anything from the last election, it’s that leadership is the first important step for the NDP to consider.

Perhaps the right woman, or man, for the job is someone brand new with a squeaky clean reputation. Or maybe that person will take a page from Justin Trudeau’s book and lay their faults and past mistakes on the table for all to see. It’s hard for the opposition to take pot shots at you if you take away the ammo before they can load their weapons.

The reality of political campaigning unfortunately seems to include the ability for the new leader to get down and dirty – to fight in the trenches so to speak. We saw all too clearly how the ‘nice guy’ approach worked last time. The new NDP leader is going to have to be able to lead with their chin.

We think it’s important for an Island MLA to take the position. The party has strong support on the Island and we need good representation at some level of government.

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan is rumoured to be throwing his hat in the ring again, as is Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, but one real Island dynamo is second term Saanich South MLA Lana Popham, who has yet to hint at a possible leadership run.

The NDP needs a dynamic and strong leader who can represent Greater Victoria and the province as well. The higher up our representation is, the better off the people of Vancouver Island will be.

Conventional wisdom on this is that the mining company didn’t try hard enough to establish a working relationship with the Tsilhqot’in. For his part, Taseko CEO Russell Hallbauer says the chiefs refused to meet with him, which isn’t surprising from a group that doesn’t recognize the B.C. forests ministry either.

Here’s a sample of the volume of evidence that may determine the future of B.C. Archeological studies presented at trial describe “18 roasting and/ or pit depressions” at Teztan Biny.

It’s not clear if these were for seasonal food preparation or for pit houses, which would indicate a more permanent settlement at the lake. Nor is it clear whether these “cultural depressions” have been identified as being of Tsilhqot’in origin.

Oral histories are also uncertain.

Tsilhqot’in witnesses testified that Teztan Biny has been used in the 20th century as a hunting and fishing camp.

The mine was rejected due to ill-defined cultural as well as environmental concerns. B.C. residents could finally see some answers this year.

ESL funding cuts impact those who want to succeed I am a mechanical engineer with a specialization in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. For many years, I was a sales manager for an air conditioning systems company in Saudi Arabia.

In 2010, my wife and I made the decision to move our three daughters and one son to Canada for all the opportunities this amazing country could offer us. My wife was accepted to a masters program at Western

University in London, Ont. After initially coming to settle my family, I returned to Saudi Arabia to my job, so I could continue to financially support my family.

It was very difficult to be separated from them. They were always asking me to come over and join them, telling me how wonderful Canada is. I needed to provide for my family, but I soon realized my job as a father was more important than my job as

an engineer.

I quit my job one year ago to join my family and reunite with them after three years of being apart. After my oldest daughter was accepted to the University of Victoria, we all moved out to the West Coast.

I began taking ESL courses at Camosun College in January.

My experience so far has been excellent. They teach us far more than language. They teach us about the culture: how to greet

someone, how to write a resume, etc.

It’s not just ESL – it’s how to adapt to the new society. These are extremely useful skills I am very grateful to be learning.

I was shocked when I heard they will no longer be offering these ESL courses after next year.

I will likely be able to finish my courses before the program is eliminated, but what about those that will come after me? How will they get the training and skills

they need to succeed?

We don’t want to sit at home and wait for handouts. We want to do something good for this country. We want good jobs. We want to pay taxes. We want to support our families. Programs like ESL support new immigrants and help us succeed. We want to contribute to this wonderful country. Please give us that chance.

Readers respond: war memorials, Ukraine, Fletcher column reaction Horse memorial should be considered in Esquimalt Re: War trophies recall army past (News, Feb. 12) The recent front page photo of Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins and Mike Reed of Esquimalt Public Works with the First World War German cannon in Memorial Park has a big horse-shaped space in it.

I see a chance for Esquimalt to join the group of cities that have recognized animals who have died because they were used in our wars.

The military mainly used horses for pulling during the war, though zoo elephants were dragooned as well.

Horses were better at getting through deep mud and over rough ground than were motorized vehicles and were used for reconnaissance, carrying messengers and for pulling field kitchens, ammunition wagons and artillery like the guns in Memorial Park. Six to 12 horses pulled each gun.

Hundreds of thousands of horses were killed in artillery fire and injured by poison gas during the First World War, and those who were treated in veterinary hospitals were sent back to the front to face unbearable conditions there.

In one year, 120,000 horses were treated for wounds or disease by British veterinary hospitals alone.

Horse war memorials have been erected in many cities, possibly the first at St Jude on the Hill, Hampstead, in 1926.

Minnesota, Australia and the United Kingdom have Animals in War memorials, while Canada erected a similar memorial in Confederation Park in Ottawa two years ago. I’m pleased to have contributed in a small way to helping it move forward.

Many of the 715,000 horses used by German forces died of starvation and many more of disease and exhaustion, and more than 375,000 horses were taken from German-occupied French territory, and 140,000 from Ukraine, their lives on farms and in racing suddenly brutalized in military service.

Horse deaths were notably high during battles of attrition. The 1916 Battle of Verdun was one such battle between French and German forces; one day in March of that year, 7,000 horses were killed by long-range shelling on both sides, including 97 killed by a single shot from a French naval gun.

When the war ended, many horses were sent to slaughter as a reward for their

endurance and compliance.

More were killed because they were sick or no longer young, and the remainder went into often harsh servitude with locals for what remained of their lives.

I hope the Township of Esquimalt would be interested in commemorating the horses whose lives were connected with the cannons in Memorial Park. I am sure community and support from across Canada for the initiative would be forthcoming.

Russian military justified in entering Ukraine Victor Yanukovych was democratically elected President of Ukraine in 2010. There was a recent coup d’etat by Ukrainian opposition groups, who overthrew the government.

Just prior to the coup, foreign ministers such as Canada’s John Baird, went to Kiev Independence Square to tell opposition groups protesting there that the West would support them.

The reason the West supported this coup is because Yanukovych chose not to enter into a European Union Association Agreement.

The Yanukovych government instead looked to Russia for economic assistance rather than to the West.

The West saw this as their influence over Ukraine waning, so chose to support the overthrow of Yanukovych’s government.

Now the West has the gall to tell Russia to back off.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has virtually no respect on the world stage; however, Putin is in his right to support the democratically elected leader of Ukraine, Victor Yanukovych and to give him protection and reinstate him as Ukraine’s legitimate president.

Putin also has the right to protect Russia’s vital economic and military interest in that region of the world, including the Crimea.

Province not above law on bargaining rights Re: B.C. Views (News, Feb. 5) As a serial violator of workers’ charterprotected rights, the B.C. government is solely responsible for its failure to convince courts that it should be able to run roughshod over collective bargaining rights.

As Tom Fletcher points out (B.C. Views, Feb. 5), this constitutionally protected right to collective bargaining was established by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2007 in response to contract-shredding legislation imposed without consultation on healthcare workers five years earlier.

But I have to take issue with Fletcher’s suggestion that this charter right was “invented” by the court.

It was no more an invention than marriage equality rights for same-sex couples, consultation rights for aboriginal peoples or accommodation rights for people with disabilities.

It’s time for our provincial government to accept that they are not above the law

when it comes to the collective bargaining rights of teachers, health-care workers or anyone else.

Q&A Sport parenting a multi-faceted job Kara Goetze Community Spotlight: FAMILY

we attended a memorable meet in Port Alberni. It started out badly when I forgot a few “essential” items, such as the high-heeled dress-up shoes (so important at a swim meet), and Sierra’s special teeth-whitening toothpaste. Danica haughtily explained that the wording on the toothpaste box amounted to consumer manipulation, and a loud altercation ensued in the campground bathroom.

Also, threatening to re-emerge was Danica’s asthma cough, which often gripped her the entire night. She drifted in and out of sleep while she coughed, but the rest of us in the close-quarters van needed earplugs, pillows and thick blankets over our heads to sleep. That night, Danica crawled into the lower bed with me, and Sierra hopped into the top bunk, tossing and turning, jolted awake with each coughing spasm beneath her. Just as things started to settle, Sierra tossed, turned and fell with an enormous crash, face first, from the top bunk. There was a second of silence – then the wailing began as blood oozed from her nose and mouth.

I stumbled with Sierra through the dark to the campsite office, where a teenage girl reading a novel stared at us blankly. So I hurried her to the bathroom, gently washed away the blood, found her brand new front teeth still intact and no broken nose. The next day she was proud of her swollen face and swam her races. Later that day, Danica fell on the pavement, scraping legs and arms into a bloody-gravel mess. She too raced.

Me? After practicing sports medicine the night before, I became a nutritionist, dishing out timely, healthy food; manager, tracking towels, swim caps and race times; therapist, counselling my kids through good races and bad; and chauffeur, packing up, and sputtering back down highway in time to set the alarm for Monday’s 6 a.m. practice.

And Olympians’ moms? You go girls.

Dedicated to making a difference.

Q What is your favourite family activity to share together?

A Besides cuddling in bed on

a Sunday morning, a Family Skate at Save-On Foods Memorial Arena is at the top of our list!.

Q How do you find time for “you” outside of being a “mom”?

A I tend to put the needs of my children, husband and clients before my own. I enjoy making other people happy so it is imperative that I set boundaries and take the time to nurture myself

as well. Things that exhilarate me are not for the faint of heart as I like to challenge myself and push beyond my normal comfort levels – the Polar Bear Plunge, Kool Half Marathon and the Tough Mudder are on my list this year.

I also enjoy a girls’ night out to try a new restaurant or go to a movie.

Q What are you reading right now? What do you read with your daughters?

A Ironically, my Kobo is filled with books on parenting. My favourite is How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk. It’s an easy read, but worth every penny! I’m also reading the Hunger Games trilogy.

We make a point of reading every night, but we especially love the silly nursery rhymes from Mother Goose.

“For the day to run smoothly I need extra help from my husband, Rob, and parents. Usually our days run like a well-oiled machine, but there are times when you can hear the circus music playing as we try to juggle it all,” Goetze says. “It’s important for me to pick the kids up from school and to see the smiles on their faces when they accomplish a new skill or sport. If it wasn’t for the support of my parents, I would not have that flexibility.”

next Family April 2

Amid the two weeks of glued-to-the-TV Olympic sports viewing came a CBC production called Raising an Olympian – a look at moms and their roles in nurturing their young sports protégés.

“Schmaltzy,” I heard my partner snort, but I was all sniffly-teary so I ignored him. Any sports mom knows damn well her little Olympian would still be playing in the tot pool without her.

I was a sports mom for years; swim team, then soccer. This is no small role: it takes fitness (clutch and brake ankle muscles); multi-role playing (everything from alarm-setter to missing-shin-pad-finder); and creative food packing for all Susan Lundy those hours on the road. On the rare occasions there was no swimming or soccer, I’d stare perplexed at the stove, trying to remember what I used to cook for dinner.

Swim meets were the ultimate time management nightmares. Beginning at the end of May, we’d load up our bright orange, chlorine-scented VW van and putter to swim meets for the next eight to 10 weekends. Each race took a maximum of two minutes.

Each child could race up to six individual races and two relays — for a total of 16 minutes in the water. We left mid-day Friday and returned Sunday night, spending about 55 hours for those 16 minutes. During this time, we found and set up campsites, got to the pool at an ungodly hour, ensured our young athletes ate the right food at the right time, stayed warm (don’t forget the rain) or cool (when the sun blazed), made it to their races, dealt with their losses, wins or disqualifications, found dry towels and got enough sleep.

Recently, some friends and I played the popular board game Apples to Apples.

In this game, players are called upon to assert an argument which they hope the judge will select. So, the more convincing or entertaining the argument, the greater the chance of being selected. The better acquainted you are with the player who holds the position of

Another time I spoke about running a half-marathon after a long night of over indulging, to illustrate my lack of preparation as a 22 year old. In that case, erupting with laughter served to make me instantly comfortable while talking.

It’s easy to practise improvised speaking – whether you do it by playing a game such as Apples to Apples, at a Toastmaster meeting (guests are also welcome to participate in Table Topics ), or on a Friday night, with friends.

judge, the easier it is for you to predict their preferences.

Much like this, the portion of the meeting called Table Topics at toastmasters requires us to think on our feet and deliver an improvised speech with a clear opening, body and conclusion.

Once at the front of the room, members are given a slip of paper with a topic on it. The allotted time is one to two minutes.

Practising this has been highly beneficial for me. I used to dread table topics, whereas now, when this section of the meeting rolls around, I joyously jump at the opportunity to get up there.

Part of Purvis-Bellamano’s evolution dovetails nicely with the overarching theme of this year’s festival, Inside Story – which festival director Missie Peters describes as an opportunity for spoken word artists to explore their role as storyteller in our modern culture.

“They are the ones telling stories around the campfire.

What does that mean and what does that do?” Peters said.

Morgan Purvis-Bellamano, the Victoria youth poet laureate and the volunteer co-ordinator for the Victoria Spoken Word Festival would like to see young wordsmiths join her at the festival until March 9.

n the time since the Victoria youth poet laureate took on the role this winter, there have been ups, downs and other times the 20-year-old files under “hilarious and weird.”

Such was the case when Morgan Purvis-Bellamano, a former member of Esquimalt High’s Slam Club and one of the organizers of this week’s Victoria Spoken Word Festival, performed for Victoria city council.

I’m used to really interactive audiences where there’s snapping and cheering – heckling even,” she said. “At city hall they don’t clap. They just stare blankly in their suits. It’s funny.

I said vagina in city hall, which was awesome.”

Purvis-Bellamano is expecting a far higher degree of audience engagement at the fourth annual Victoria Spoken Word Festival, for which she has been heavily involved as the volunteer co-ordinator. The official mandate of the youth poet laureate is to support other youth artists, showcase youth art and advocate for youth issues through art. One step towards achieving those goals could begin with Purvis-Bellamano’s hope to see young people take advantage of student pricing and participate in the festival, which this year includes an afternoon workshop with poet of honour, the folk-punkaccordion poet, Barbara Adler.

The poet is an alumnus of Victorious Voices, a youth spoken word program, facilitated by the Victoria Poetry Project that culminates in an annual slam competition.

“Hands down, every year there are people on that stage who are significantly better than the people end up on the Victoria slam team that competes nationally. The calibre of youth poets in this city is outstanding and often times better than the adults.”

That level of talent springs from high school slam clubs where students have created safe environments to take some serious creative risks. Purvis-Bellamano recalls an early experience she had at Esquimalt high with a young club member, whose father had just died. In preparation for delivering his eulogy, she turned to the club and read it for a group of about 25 students.

“That was a place she felt safe enough. Even to this day, I’m still shocked because high school can be such a horrible, vitriolic place, but in slam club, she felt safe.”

While the poet may have finessed her craft over the last few years, her subject matter has remained as bold as her first slam piece, a commentary on sexual objectification.

“I was kind of a rootin’ tootin’ feminist even back then,”

Inside the spoken word festival Continued from previous page

“Often slam poetry comes from a very ‘I’ place. ‘I did this and I did that,’ so I’m trying to get inside – what happens when you talk from a character’s perspective? What happens when you tell a story that’s outside of yourself? There’s so much metaphor inside of story.”

Emerging spoken word artists from across the country perform Wednesday through Saturday at the Metro Studio Theatre (1411 Quadra), where the festival has moved after selling out last year at the smaller Intrepid Theatre Club location.

They’ll also be working together at improv, theatre, storytelling, puppetry and physical theatre workshops throughout the week, all with the aim of delving deeper inside story. By Saturday, they’ll be ready to channel their new perspectives into a grand finale showcase, a collaborative one-time spoken word event to follow Adler’s latest offering. Purvis-Bellamano is enthused.

“It shocks me when there’s a single person in the world who doesn’t show up to that show,” she says. “It’s amazing. Last year there were Scrabble bits and playing cards and dominos being thrown into the audience and weird people with toilet brushes on our heads. It’s amazing, brilliant art.”

Victoria health drink preps for U.S. debut Created to help with cystic fibrosis, unlikely entrepreneurs hit growing health market Edward Hill News staff

In early March, Anaheim, Calif., will host the largest natural products trade show in North America, a venue of all that is nutritious. For Victoria’s Paul Underhill, it’s a leap into the wildly competitive U.S. market for health drinks.

The expo will mark the U.S. launch of Rumble, a nutrition drink devised by Underhill, 44, originally as a means to cope with symptoms of cystic

fibrosis. Rumble has found a foothold here, but the U.S. is a different world.

“The west coast of the U.S. is the most competitive market for health food and beverages,” Underhill said.

“There’s many more products, and companies spend a lot on marketing. We have to rely on the strength of our product, and word of mouth.”

Over the past two years, Rumble has found its way into groceries and health food stores across Canada,

and it had its biggest month yet in December after Underhill and colleagues Kim and James McQueen appeared on Dragons’ Den. The drink and the company have come a long way in five years, since Underhill started grinding together fruits and vegetables at his Victoria home in a desperate bid to get food into his body. Along with causing chronic lung infections, cystic fibrosis inhibits the efficient absorption of nutrients.

find a manufacturer in Canada to produce Rumble, but found one in an undisclosed location the U.S. With financing from friends and family, Rumble launched in October 2012 at a trade show in Toronto.

Neither a protein or energy drink or meal supplement, Rumble is designed as Canada’s first “nourishing drink.”

The company’s first commercial order came from Lifestyle Markets, and the first bottle was sold at Niagara Market.

Underhill said the final product is healthier than what he made at home – McQueen insisted on pumping up the omega-3s, an essential fatty acid found in fish and nuts.

“Creating a tasty allnatural leading-edge nutritional drink with omega-3s was challenging. In lab testing the formulation was worked on for over 18 months,” Hughes said.

“It took time to work through the formulation to create a stable shelf life.”

In the midst of developing Rumble, Underhill’s cystic fibrosis came on with a vengeance, and in 2011, he was on oxygen 24 hours per day.

On April 22, 2011, an air ambulance shuttled him to Toronto in critical condition, and by a

In those days, Underhill hunted around supplement shops and health food stores for meal replacements that were nutritious, organic and didn’t taste awful. As a professional researcher with degrees in psychology and law, he dug into blending a drink from scratch.

“There was nothing out there to drink with a healthy balance.

I needed something that didn’t exist. I was forced to make my own,” he said. “But obviously it wasn’t just me that needed it.”

Steve Hughes, 45, who lives in View Royal, encouraged Underhill to develop his “super shake” as a commercial product.

He left his job as general manager of Albion Fisheries to help get Rumble off the ground.

“I told Paul he should try to do this.

It’s not just the healthcompromised that need this. Everyone needs better choices and nutrition,” Hughes said. “We realized going from the blender at home to production was a big leap. We hired a food scientist.

We knew we needed authentication.”

Kim McQueen, a naturopathic doctor, formulated the ingredients to maximize the proteins, nutrients and taste. They couldn’t

A year later, Underhill cycled the 100 km leg of the Tour de Victoria. Rumble went on to sponsor and Underhill rode the 1,200 km Vancouver to Banff ride for cystic fibrosis, and the company continues to sponsor cyclists and other athletes. “It was too much to even leave the house (in 2011). I was tethered to a tube. It’s hard to reconcile then and now,” he said.

As seen on TV, Rumble struck a deal with

Dragons’ Den investors, but Underhill said that dissolved amicably amid interest from an investors group in Toronto, which is financing their push into the U.S. From being a civil servant, a cyclist and a health nut, Underhill never envisioned being a guy who negotiated with venture capitalists.

“I never anticipated coming down this path at all. But we realized we had something here,” he said. “I saw the potential and my friends did too.” editor@vicnews.com

Brier pickup excited to be in mix Metchosin’s Jody Epp expects ice time with Team Morris Charla Huber News staff

Jody Epp has been throwing curling rocks for 27 years and for the first time he’s a member of Team B.C. at the Tim Horton’s Brier, on now in Kamloops.

He’s the alternate player for John Morris, whose Vernonbased rink sat 3-1 in second place (at press time) heading into Monday night’s game against Prince Edward Island.

Morris, a two-time Brier champ and 2010 Olympic gold medalist with skip Kevin Martin, won the B.C. title last month in Vancouver, beating Epp’s Victoria rink handily in the final.

Epp got a call from the decorated skip just two days later.

“I thought he was calling me to talk about the week,” Epp said before leaving last week, adding the two are old friends. “But he asked me to be their fifth man. I was really blown away. I’ve tried

to get to the Brier for 20 years.”

The Metchosin resident is excited to compete in the national event, but admits it’s a bittersweet experience, since he’d rather be on the ice with his teammates from the Victoria Curling Club.

Jody Epp “When I told my teammates they were so happy for me,” Epp said. “I’ve curled against these guys for 20 years and I know them really well. I think I am a good fit with them.

They could have picked anyone in the province and the fact they picked me was really special.”

Even though he’s going as an alternate, he figures there’s about a 95 per cent chance he’ll see some game time.

“It’s a long week and there is a lot of pressure on the guys.”

Curling has been a big part of Epp’s life since he first set foot on the ice at the Juan de Fuca rink in 1987.

“My parents took me to the Juan de Fuca Curling Club to try it out. By the time I was 15, I was curling seven days a week,” he said.

“It’s a sport that’s very low cost and people can play recreationally or competitively.”

Team Morris essentially has home-rink advantage at the Brier with the team curling out of the Vernon Curling Club. Jim Cotter, who plays third, is also from Kamloops.
