Jazz man

Regionalized policing included in the department’s eight-year goal

Hermann Nieweler doesn’t consider himself a jazz aficionado, but for the last 30 years he’s run one of the longest running jazz clubs in the country. Now he’s looking to take a step back – if he can find the right replacement. Victoria’s jazz musicians and fans are depending on it.

Erin McCracken News staff

Greater Victoria will become Canada’s safest region by 2020 when five bold steps in policing are achieved, including the creation of a regional police force, says Victoria’s police chief. The department unveiled Monday what Chief Const. Jamie Graham called an attention-grabbing strategic plan that outlines its vision for policing by 2020. The plan was launched along with a video of cops on the job, an imageheavy eight-page brochure and a website. “Now, I normally don’t get excited about strategic planning or strategic plans, but trust me this one is different,” said Graham. “I believe it’s the first of its kind by any police department in the country. We haven’t seen this done before.” It’s been designed to be eyecatching in order to create a buzz in the community about what VicPD is doing, even inspire residents to provide feedback, said VicPD spokesperson Const. Mike Russell.

ELECTION Nov. 19

’11

www.vicnews.com • A3 www.vicnews.com • A3

his municipal election, the Victoria News is getting voters involved in our campaign coverage like never before. We’re seeking out typical Victoria and Esquimalt citizens, asking them a little about themselves and their politics, delving into the key issue(s) for them personally and then taking that issue to the candidates for a direct response. We’ll be posting all these features online – and in print – at www.vicnews.com, and we invite both voters and candidates to join the conversation through our Disqus online commenting feature. From there, it’s up to you, the voters, to decide on Saturday, Nov. 19.

Grant Keddie’s question to Victoria’s nonincumbent candidates: How will you actively engage citizens through the local area planning process?

will be using a new form of consultation known as a World Cafe which is used by companies and is considered to be one of the most effective ways to harvest ideas an opinions on any given subject. I have tested this and the test came back with excellent results. This World Cafe format is affordable, effective and timely.

City key to engaging citizens

VOTER PROFILE – GRANT KEDDIE Roszan Holmen News staff

or Grant Keddie, his work at the Royal B.C. Museum isn’t just a job, it’s a passion. The 40-year curator of archeology can often be seen poking around construction sites, or on beaches, looking for the type of treasures most people would pass right by. When not working, Keddie’s a staple at the Spiral Cafe, located in Vic West where he lives. There, he’s often reading science journals, or exploring his genealogical roots -- not dating

back three or four generations like most people with this interest, but back hundreds of years through genetic mapping. But Keddie isn’t always looking to the past. He likes getting active with his two grandchildren who live in the city, as well as through various environmental initiatives. He’s also on the board of the Vic West Community Association, is an active gardener and advocate for food security initiatives. For Keddie, the most important factor for a healthy democracy and healthy human

environment is a strong sense of community where people take ownership of their community and feel responsible for it. “You need to actively engage citizens in all aspects of community development from transportation to mental health issues,” he says. City hall, he says, has a big role to play in getting citizens involved with their communities. When the city fails to do this, bad land use decisions can be one of the results. Keddie points to the new car dealership being built at the entrance of Vic West as an example. This development got approved because Vic West’s 1986 neighbourhood plan was never fully implemented, he argues. “If we had got our community plan in shape a few years back, that land designation would have been changed. Because they didn’t, these things are slipping through the woodwork.” Now, Victoria has a second chance to correct outdated or incomplete neighbourhood plans. Over the past year, the city has been putting the finishing touches on its new Official Community Plan. Next, it will turn its focus to creating local area plans, to help neighbourhood villages and corridors grow in a way that respects community wishes. Keddie says he’s seen the city take positive steps in recent years to engage citizens. The challenge for councillors will be to ensure the local area planning process doesn’t drag on and on. “We have to have councillors that are really willing to engage the citizens on local community plans. We have the big picture, but we need the local specific things,” he says. rholmen@vicnews.com

Shellie Gudgeon

t is critical for Victoria City Hall to encourage, not discourage, citizenry to participate in local planning processes. When elected, I will strongly urge the city to adhere to the International Association for Public Participation (IAP2) principles that promote citizens’ involvement in government decision-making. We need greater collaboration with residents, businesses and advocacy groups at city hall as well as a need for greater openness and transparency. As a member of council, I will be accessible to Victorians to hear their concerns, suggestions and ideas.

Lisa Helps

tep #1: City staff host an event or events in the area to be planned and ask people how they’d like to be engaged. Step #2: City staff and citizens in area to be planned work out an engagement process. Step #3: City staff and citizens co-deliver the co-designed engagement process. Step #4: City staff ensure that local area directions and ideas developed over engagement process fit within the Official Community Plan. Step #5: All parties involved evaluate the process.

John Turner

hat many municipal councillors forget, and what the main responsibility of being a municipal councillor, is that we are representatives of the community entrusted by the community to hold their best interests, and greatest well-being in highest regards in the present and future-focused planning processes. We also need to stay in direct communications with the community. Therefore, I plan to establish a “Community Council” with community services and leadership agenda. This will provide a symbiotic relationship of working within the communities, and accountability towards the communities.

Drug overdose killed protester

Esquimalt’s top cop wants to stay

A lethal drug overdose of cocaine and heroin killed the 23-year-old Victoria woman who had been camped out at an Occupy Vancouver protest, according to toxicology test results. The B.C. Coroners Service conducted the autopsy, including the toxicology screen, after Ashlie Gough was found unresponsive in a tent at the encampment in front of the Vancouver Art Gallery on Nov. 5. Investigators later determined she had likely died hours before she was found. The coroners investigation into Gough’s death will continue, officials say. editor@vicnews.com

Acting Insp. Keith Lindner recently became interim commander of the Victoria Police Department’s West Division in Esquimalt. A permanent replacement will be chosen from within VicPD ranks, and police brass are hoping to hire someone by January, said Victoria police spokesperson, Const. Mike Russell. Lindner, who took over after Insp. Darrell McLean retired last month, was born and raised in Saanich and has been a cop in Calgary and Victoria for 25 years. He headed up VicPD’s negotiators for the past 14 years. “I came out here because I want to be here,” Lindner told Esquimalt council Monday night, adding he has applied for the permanent post. emccracken@vicnews.com

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Regional trail gets new name Walkers, hikers and cyclists can now take the E&N Rail Trail-Humpback Connector between Victoria and the West Shore. The name was chosen by a jury from more than 200 entries submitted. Nancy Chiu of Victoria submitted the winning name. The Capital Regional District is one of several regional districts on the Island in which trails will be built within the E&N railway corridor running from Victoria to Courtenay.

Put your mark on Esquimalt Putting your stamp on Esquimalt is as simple as purchasing a paving brick for the township’s Centennial Memorial Walkway Project. The engraved pavers, which will form a path at Memorial Park, will mark the community’s 100th year in 2012 as an incorporated township. To date, 185 of 600 available bricks, which each cost $100 or $200, have been sold, Janet Jones, chair of the centennial celebrations committee, told council last week. Proceeds from the sale of the stones and centennial banners, hats, pins, vests and tea, will help fund the year-long celebration planned for 2012.

Telus Victoria held its annual Celebration of Giving event Nov. 7, recognizing more than 50 organizations and people for their charitable efforts in the community. The telecommunications company announced that, with the help of its team members, it will contribute more than $1.5 million to Victoria community groups this year through a number of outlets, including the Telus Victoria Community Board, sponsorships, corporate donations and the Team Telus Cares Charitable Giving program. In addition, the David Foster Foundation, which is based in Victoria, was presented with a $650,000 cheque to support that organization’s mission of providing support to the families of children who need organ donations. The company pledged a further $500,000 for next year. “We have such a need, because organ donor awareness has to be brought to the forefront, and they’re the champion of this,” said Mike Ravenhill, CEO of the David Foster Foundation. “On average it costs around $10,000 to sponsor a family. This is huge.” Among the other local groups that will benefit from support are the Rock Solid Foundation’s WITS program, the Canadian Red Cross Society’s Beyond the Hurt program, and the Canadian Heritage Arts Society’s Canadian College of Performing Arts bursary program. “The Telus team continues their commitment to give where they live and pledged to donate even more this year because they recognize the importance of giving is greater than ever in our community,” said Mel Cooper, chair of the Telus Victoria Community Board. editor@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Let candidates talk to parents Never would we want to hear of a teacher grooming little Johnny or Sally to one day vote NDP, or for a public school to endorse the Liberal party. But to bar trustee candidates from approaching parents on school property to discuss issues affecting those schools doesn’t make sense. The Victoria Confederation of Parent Advisory Councils, or VCPAC, sent out a letter last week to all trustee candidates in the Greater Victoria school district reminding them that this past spring, the current board of education unanimously voted for a policy that bars campaigning in schools or on school property. The letter goes further, saying some candidates are violating the “spirit” of the policy by having their supporters distribute material to parents on school grounds and by campaigning just off school property. VCPAC’s stance, along with the nine incumbent trustees who voted for the policy, does a disservice to democracy. With turnout so low for trustee elections (trustees’ names go on the same ballot as council candidates, but earn few X marks), we should be encouraging campaigning in locations where there are people who are most likely to vote. Trustees matter more to parents of students than most other voters and candidates should have access to their potential electorate. At an all-candidates meeting last week for trustee candidates, David Bratzer was more vocal on the policy than others, saying it is a “core Canadian value to stand on the sidewalk and talk to parents. … It teaches kids about democracy.” He added he is respecting the policy by staying off school grounds. Is campaigning so intimidating to parents that regulations are needed to keep it at bay? Perhaps parents who aren’t interested in a candidate’s speech could turn them away. At worst, the process could spark a debate between parents and their children about elections, democracy and school governance. However, keeping candidates from approaching parents at schools will only further erode a process that is already ailing. What do you think?

become even more of an insider activity. To take one example, a school trustee candidate forum in Abbotsford last week started with a protest march by 18 teachers. They carried their message inside, demanding smaller classes, more special needs support, the familiar list of demands in their dysfunctional relationship with the provincewide bargaining agent. Of course school trustees have no actual authority over these huge and costly issues. The province took away school board taxing authority long ago, because the teacher and support staff unions have the money and voting numbers to control low-turnout local elections for their own benefit. Now the unions have to settle for vetting candidates according to their willingness to lobby the B.C. government on behalf of unions. (If anyone has attended a trustee forum that wasn’t taken over by teachers, please e-mail me. I haven’t heard of one for years.) There are still things you can do to compare candidates, and it doesn’t take long to sort through a dozen or two hopefuls. Please, check this paper’s website for recent surveys and stories on the local candidates, and take some time on Saturday to back the people who you think have the best experience, independence and understanding of the community’s needs.

LETTERS ‘Productive’ pets offer real bargain Photo contributed

The City of Victoria is considering a plan to allow miniature goats within city limits.

Chickens, ducks and goats, oh my! (News, Nov. 2) I was so inspired by this story. It’s time we in the west started to learn from other more down-to-earth countries. We have huge pieces of land, sometimes with nothing but an unproductive, high-maintenance

Fletcher’s take on Occupy movement comes under fire I usually avoid reading Tom Fletcher’s column as I find him very closedminded. But my partner insisted that I read it Nov. 9 (Occupy is just another squat) because he was so infuriated by Mr. Fletcher’s words that he wanted me to see what he had written. And of course, I was infuriated as well. I am now a senior, but I have taken part in many peaceful demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience during my lifetime. It is our right as citizens to peacefully protest when we find that our governments have taken a wrong turn. The Occupy movement is world-wide. It doesn’t just reflect inequities in Victoria or B.C. or even Canada. Governments are too influenced by corporations and are not representing the interests of their constituents, many of whom are falling behind and losing their savings and even their homes. Citizens are also speaking out against corporate decisions that negatively affect our drinking water, our oceans, our forests and ultimately the health of our nation. Many of us protested the North America Free Trade Agreement in the 1980s, which resulted in companies and jobs leaving our

country. Thirty years later we are still dealing with the loss of jobs and this is part of the reason that people are on the streets today. I don’t know what world Fletcher is living in, but he looks fairly comfortable and I am pretty sure he has a good job, a warm bed to sleep in and lots of food to eat. Not so for many of us, as he can see by looking around our city. And his “facts” (like that the protests are funded by government unions) need to be footnoted, as I have not heard those “facts” before and doubt their validity. I wouldn’t mind if he was just a letter-writer, but to have his column as a weekly mainstay of your otherwise quite readable paper is an affront to our intelligence. Kathryn Ogg Victoria

They’re nothing but squatters Occupy Victoria vows to battle on (News, Nov. 9) Move them out now! They are squatters who do not care if they cause stores to lose business, let alone be accountable for the damage to property. Mayor Dean Fortin dropped the ball from the beginning when dealing with them. Judy Wilson Victoria

lawn, and spend our time with energy intensive machinery to maintain it. Why not have a goat or other useful livestock to take care of it? After living in six different countries and seeing how easily this can be done, it makes me wonder why we are so far behind in this topic? There are too many prohibitive

bylaws that are out of synch with the ecologically sensitive times in which we live. Two hens can keep two or three people happy with eggs and as pets. What can a few other unobtrusive, productive pets do? John Ballard Saanich

Readers respond: the civic election Amalgamation is a ballot option As we approach another municipal election, I continue to hear many comments regarding the foolhardiness of having 13 municipalities – when one would be so much more sensible and economical. Of course not one of the 224 hopeful councillors we could vote for will admit this stupidity as they will have less opportunity of milking the system. My advice to anyone who agrees with amalgamation is they should write the word “amalgamation” across their ballot sheet – maybe the province will then have the courage to take the necessary action. Douglas Hamer Victoria

Victoria no place for partisan politics Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin is widely advertising and endorsing his “Dream Team” of four incumbent councillors. What about the others whom voters in Victoria elected to represent them on council? Are they of no value? Has this become a partisan campaign? What is desperately needed in Victoria is a widely-trusted leader who will inspire and unify council. An individual who is able to effectively work with all interests in Victoria and the Capital Region, and with all levels of government. Certainly those elected as mayor and to council can accomplish more by working together. If we expect to address important local priorities, it’s going to take a unified effort.

When my vote and those of my fellow Victorians is cast on Nov. 19, we will send a mayor and eight councillors to city hall to represent all of us. It’s time our elected officials rose above partisan politics. We deserve better. Carmel Thomson Victoria

Esquimalt referendum will make council accountable It is time to put the Esquimalt police issue aside until after the election and press the new council to have an open administration going forward. We should be looking at the referendum on the town square. The process for this project has been flawed from the beginning. Yes, there were open houses and many people spoke on the subject voicing their opinions and ideas, but no one seemed to be listening. The open houses only asked which of three versions of one layout was preferred and didn’t offer a choice for “none of the above.” The new council will be bound by the outcome of the referendum, so let’s all use that opportunity and say “no” on election day. It’s your opportunity to make

council listen and act according to the voice of the taxpayers. Rod Lavergne Esquimalt

City mayor’s antics seem juvenile Attending the Victoria mayoral candidates meeting in Fernwood on Nov. 7, many in the packed room were surprised to witness, at its adjournment, Mayor Dean Fortin refusing to shake the hand of an opponent and offering a limp response to the proffered hand of the other. Paul Brown and Steve Filipovic, the two candidates challenging the incumbent mayor, presented facts and critiques as one would expect at such a forum. Brown’s and Filipovic’s behavioir was respectful to our mayor and to those in attendance. I was disappointed to see that good sportsmanship and manners were definitely lacking on the part of my mayor. I appreciate that there are competitive pressures in politics. Still, reasonable people can disagree on facts, and present an opposing opinion without such juvenile antics. Marilyn Ferguson Victoria

Since being elected in November 2010, Marianne Alto has: • Proposed short-term incentives for rental housing • Pushed for open government at City Hall • Supported efforts to create a regional transportation authority

B.C. Assessment puts too low a value on business properties Re: Less talk, more commitment needed on taxpayer pledge (Guest Comment, Oct. 26) Laura Jones complains that businesses pay higher taxes than residents on “the same valued properties.” The problem is that B.C. Assessment usually puts too low a value on business properties. The proof is that, when they are sold, they often obtain prices much higher than their assessed values. There are several reasons for this. Since business properties turn over infrequently, assessments lag behind the inflation rate. Evaluators may attribute rising sale values to entrepreneurial skills rather than the properties themselves.

Unlike residents, business property owners have the opportunity to increase value through rezoning. The thinking in Victoria is that businesses and residences should contribute about equally to tax revenues. Since business assessments are too low and rise slowly, the tax rate must remain high. However, the top 30 taxpayers have regularly paid a third to a half of all business taxes, lessening the burden on Ms. Jones’ small business clients. Businesses in general have many advantages over residents: they earn income from their property; multiple businesses can share premises; ultimate owners are often a large number of corporate shareholders; and business

taxes are deductible for income tax. I too am sympathetic to the small business operator, but he is more often a renter than an owner. We must be sure that any concessions to him are not captured by his landlord, and are not made available to large companies that need no assistance. Perhaps we could introduce a tiered structure in which the small operator who absorbs his landlord’s tax is accorded a lower preferential rate. Finally, there should be a thorough review of B.C. Assessment’s techniques. Businessmen who assume their assessment is OK but their tax rate is too high are seeing only the tip of the iceberg. David Bodenberg Victoria

Nurses provided excellent care in hospital I have read many letters slagging the nurses in our hospitals. Recently I spent eight of the nastiest days of my life in the cardiovascular unit of Royal Jubilee Hospital. From the moment I walked through the door until I left, I was treated to the most professional, caring and concerned individuals I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet. In the middle of my stay, heavily drugged and nearly blind with pain, I remember thinking, what kind of person would one have to be to garner ill will from any one of these nurses? I remember very little of those eight days except the pain, but I can vividly recall every name and face of the nurses – male and female – that cared for me. To each and every one of the nurses that touched my life during that stay I offer a heartfelt thank you, which seems trite and inadequate, but I offer it nonetheless. Bob Moncrieff Victoria

effectiveness, developing the best personnel, improving communication, regionalizing safety and building community relationships. Its objectives will be realized with a regional force, when the department is a recognized leader in innovative policing, is the top Canadian police

employer, has built stronger community partnerships and when citizens and visitors feel safe. “When we talk about (a regional police force), we don’t mean that VicPD is going to take over the Lower Island,” Russell said, adding it means working with other agencies to create an amalgamated force, and pressuring the provincial government for approval. There is already support for an amalgamated service, Graham said. “When we talk publicly and when we do town hall meetings and we do rough polls by a show of hands, I can’t recall when someone put a hand up who does not agree with a regional force,” he said. “We don’t know what we will call it. It could be the Saanich-Victoria Regional Force,” said Graham. “I don’t know. It doesn’t matter to us.” Their objective is possibly creating a structure that encompasses the Saanich Peninsula, Oak Bay, past the West Shore, perhaps half way up the Malahat Drive of the TransCanada Highway, Graham said. “It could be as high as 300 or 400 officers.” While these details are not included in the vision, it could very well be the reality by 2020, if VicPD gets its way. “As far as we’re concerned, it’s a matter of time,” said Graham. Working groups, each headed by a police inspector, have been tasked with the job of creating action plans, and producing quarterly reports on their progress. But if the department doesn’t realize the regional policing element within its strategic plan by 2020, that won’t make the entire plan a failure. “It’s a vision, it’s something we’re shooting towards,” Russell said. VicPD’s strategic plan, including videos and additional details, is at www.vicpd.ca/ stratplan2020. emccracken@vicnews.com

It lets you donate cash or publicly traded securities into the endowment fund of your favourite participating charity – in your own name or the name you choose, making it a gift that lasts forever and, unlike most presents, is never forgotten.

Canada’s second oldest community foundation and the sixth largest in the nation, the foundation hopes more than $75,000 will be raised during the 75-hour period. It has set aside a matching $75,000 that will be pro-rated based on the total dollar value donated on behalf of each of the charities. The gifts can be made online through the Victoria Foundation’s portal at CanadaHelps or made directly to the foundation by credit card or cheque as long as it is received during the challenge period.

Ode to Samuel Beckett throws away script Sam Van Schie News staff

Usually actors use improv for warmup exercises before practising their scripts. But the Paper Street Theatre company does the opposite. To prepare for their latest show, An Improvised Samuel Beckett, five local improvisers read Beckett’s scripts in rehearsals then threw away the lines to create a completely new, improvised play live on stage. “We try to create a play that’s like something Beckett would have written himself,” artistic director Dave Morris explained. “This isn’t a parody of his work, it’s a homage.” Beckett, who died in 1989, is best known for penning Waiting for Godot and Krapp’s Last Tape. He was among the European playwrights who pioneered theatre of the absurd, a genre that defined hopelessness, where characters realize the world has no meaning and they’re stuck in an endless routine. It may sound depressing, but Morris promises the show will at least be funnier than the group’s inaugural offering, An Improvised Tennessee Williams, which they performed last summer based on the writer of Streetcar Named Desire. “If you like dark humour, you’ll get some

laughs from the show,” Morris said. The cast – which includes Morris, Missie Peters, Chris Gabel, Scott Thompson and Byron Kjeldsen – wear overcoats and bowler hats to get into character. They’ve all studied Beckett’s style and where he got his inspiration. On stage, the characters adopt Beckett’s bleak outlook on life. They use physical comedy in place of words, and when they do speak it’s in quick sentences, offering sullen insight into the human condition. It’s not what you expect to see when you go to an improv show. “Usually improv focuses on narrative and storytelling, and making people laugh,” Morris said. “With Beckett, he creates these dark worlds where nothing happens, and there’s not a lot of dialogue.” Morris says he wants to challenge himself and his fellow improvisers with works outside their usual style. “We want to create improv that feels like theatre,” he said. “Our goal is to make the audience forget we’re improvising.” So, why not just work from a script? “Because I’d get bored,” Morris said. “With script work you only really get to be creative in the early stages of rehearsals and then it’s always the same. With improv we’re creating something new every night.

Jazz man looks to step back Owner of longest running jazz club in Canada, Hermann Nieweler on the hunt for the right replacement Roszan Holmen News staff

n a Thursday night at Hermann’s Jazz Club, the house band takes a break and owner Hermann Nieweler makes the rounds. A woman from Colorado in the audience greets him enthusiastically. “Thank you!,” she gushes, explaining she found the off-the-tourist-track venue through a tip from a friend. Her husband takes in the exchange from a few paces back. “We came here to figure out, ‘Who is this guy’?” he says, to others gathered around.

Photo submitted

In this undated photo, Hermann Nieweler plays the washboard with the Dixieland Express, a band that’s played his club since 1981. It’s a good question. Nieweler, 76, boasts he runs the longest-running jazz club in Canada operated by only one person throughout its history. The club celebrated its 30th anniversary this year. In 1986, Nieweler moved the club to its current location on View Street – the same year he moved to North Vancouver. Ever

Complete Dental

since, he’s been commuting every week or two. He flies on Harbour Air, checks into Paul’s Motor Inn, and stays long enough to catch up with the books, with any repair work, and with his staff and musicians. It’s a big commitment for someone who doesn’t have jazz coursing through his veins. “It’s the people here, in Victoria,” he explains. “The people kept coming and coming.” The musicians and the fans are like a big family, he says. For years, there’s been speculation about his retirement. Those close to him, however, know he can’t bring himself to sell the place. Keeping the jazz alive – for the fans and the musicians – means too much to him. But change is coming. “The time has come to step back a little bit,” he says, with obvious reluctance. Over the summer of 2010, Nieweler received a kidney transplant, ending three and a half years of dialysis and a long period of illness prior to that. Nobody, including his manager, knew. Through it all, he continued to book all his own bands.

Vision Matters Dr. Stephen Taylor

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Don’t Retire Vision You don’t have to worry about running out of vision. It’s not like you can use it up and then there is no more left. As long as the eye is healthy it will pick up visual signals and transmit them to the brain to be interpreted. It will go on doing this indefinitely without ever quitting. The muscles of the eye, on the other hand, can become fatigued. Long periods of concentrated reading or close work may weary them to the point where they just cannot go on responding to the demands put on them. The need a temporary rest. It is this feeling of the eye fatigue which has let to the myth that vision can be “worn out”. The sad thing about this is that many older people voluntarily limit the use of their eyes. They cut back on their reading, sewing and television watching for fear of losing their remaining eyesight. Well, there’s no reason to retire vision. With good health and suitable vision aids, there are no limits to what you can see. And, in fact, the one person you should make a point of seeing on a regular basis is your Optometrist.

“My life is kind of half and half,” he says. “Half is the serious side, and the other half is the fun side.” The club has been the fun half. “It’s what pulled me through.” In the corner of the room, a ghastly-looking manikin sits propped up with a black-marker mouth, oversized glasses and a red jersey and cap. “It’s me on dialysis,” Nieweler jokes, adding it’s a way he can keep an eye on staff when he’s not around. While Nieweler has recovered well, his sickness made him think about securing the future of the club. “It’s his baby,” says Tom Vickery, who’s led the house band almost from Day 1. “He loves the camaraderie of it,” he says. While he’s brought in some big names, from around North America, Nieweler has “made a commitment to the local musicians,” says Vickery. That includes his own trio, as well as the Dixieland Express. Both bands have played the venue for 30 years. For the past 25 years, Hermann’s club has also made space every Thursday afternoon for band students from Esquimalt High school. For the first time this year, four high school band programs will get involved. “Sometimes it’s a money maker, other times not,” Nieweler says. “It breaks even, but we have to look after young people. That’s the most important thing.” Nieweler is now seeking to lease the space, a compromise that will allow him to keep some control. The live music, he says, must continue. The bright orange walls and eclectic decor are also non-negotiable. “I wanted to have it a little bit like a rumpus room, where people feel comfortable,” he explains. Finding a replacement, however, will be a tall order, admits Vickery. “With his big heart and dedication, and love of the musicians, I think it’s going to be difficult, because that aspect of it is not so businesslike,” Vickery says. Failing is a possibility that worries them both. “We have to keep it happening,” says Vickery. “We’re saying to ourselves, how long can this go on?” Nieweler immigrated to Canada from Germany as a 21 year old, and his career as a carpenter sent him all over Canada. His life as a jazz club owner started almost by accident in Victoria 30 years ago. At the time, Nieweler was part owner of the Bastion Inn when a man named Barry Stubbs asked him for CENTRAL PARK

In exchange, the stranger offered him an afternoon performance at the inn. Two hundred people showed up, and Nieweler cleaned up. “I couldn’t believe it,” he recalls. “During the period they were playing, I would bring them schnapps,” he says. “It has to be done at the right moment. If you give a band a shooter, he plays twice as good.” The schnapps became a tradition, along with an old German drinking call: “Zeke Zake, Zeke Zake, Hoeu, Hoeu, Hoeu!” From then on, he and Stubbs were a marketing duo, and the music became a regular feature at the inn, soon renamed the Dixieland Inn. “I started with Dixieland music, but then, the Dixieland people got slower and slower and the younger people moved in with their own jazz,” he says. The shift affected more than the music. “The Dixieland people, they were the beer drinkers. When the new music, the modern music came in, I had to start with cover charge … because they weren’t drinking as much.” Deep down, Nieweler admits, “I’m a Dixieland fan.” Jazz, he says, has grown on him. “There’s some good bands, but I’ve never had an opinion. For me, I always was thinking, anybody who goes on the stage there has a lot of guts.” Back at the club on this Thursday night, Vickery takes up his post at the piano, and his bandmates follow. For most of the show, Nieweler is out of sight, in the back room doing the books. But at just the right moment, he appears with a tray full of schnapps. rholmen@vicnews.com

Stan Gill to be honoured as Mt. Doug celebrates its athletic history Travis Paterson News staff

The names of previous track and field winners are printed too small in the souvenir event program for Stan Gill to read without taking off his glasses. As he scans the categories, his finger picks up the names of Mount Douglas secondary athletes and his memory fills in the rest. From his arrival in 1963 until his retirement in 1997, Gill cultured a track and field renaissance with Mount Doug. The school laid claim to dozens of individual and team provincial championships. On Saturday (Nov. 19), Gill and four other coaches, Earl Hockin (basketball), Dave Barker (soccer) Al Cochrane (football) and Mark Townsend (football) will be recognized at Mount Doug’s sports social and coach honouring, with a no-host bar, part of the school’s 80th anniversary celebrations this month. It takes place in the school’s gymnasium, where Gill’s influence is omnipresent on Mount Doug’s Wall of Champions. As “the only phys ed teacher” at Mount Doug in 1963, which was at the site now known as Cedar Hill middle school, Gill willingly took on the role. He was, however, a little unsuspecting of just what the school would soon accomplish: provincial team championships in 1969, ’70, ’75 and ’76, with second place finishes in 1968, and from 1971 to ’74. “I guess there was some luck. We had some great athletes,” Gill says. “And I usually had helpers (coaching), especially with high jump, long

est team members entering the Olympic training camp. Victoria’s David Calder paired with 2008 Olympic silver medal partner Scott Frandsen of Kelowna to win the men’s pair. In the lightweight men’s pair, Eric Woelfl of St. Catharines, Ont., paired with Derek Vinge of Saanich to edge brothers Ben and Jacob Cushnie. “It’s been fun rowing with Eric (who was a Pan Am team mate),” said Vinge.

“There was a big tailwind, so we’re hoping for a fast time, but it was windier than we thought. We caught a lot of the tops of the waves, but we finished, and then had a little bit of a flip.” The lightweight pair were removed safely from the waterway. Performances at the national rowing championships are a factor in determining the Olympic training camp and to determine future training camps and teams. sports@vicnews.com

A rookie effort propelled the UVic’s Vikes women’s team to silver the men’s team to bronze at the 2011 CIS cross country championships in Quebec City on Nov. 12. Conditions were snowy and cold but couldn’t slow Vikes first-year Ellen Pennock (Calgary) to third in the country on the women’s five-kilometre course. The result earned Pennock CIS honours as rookie of the year and, along with fifth-place Stephanie Trenholm (Campbell River), a spot on the CIS all-Canadian first team. Fifth-year veteran Laura Mitic finished 12th to earn second team allCanadian honours. UVic’s Grace Annear was 35th and Shauna McInnis was 36th as the UVic’s women’s team finished second behind only Guelph. It’s also a Canada West conference championship for the Vikes women, who swept that podium. The same goes for the Vikes men who finished third nationally, and first in Canada West. Second-year Dylan Haight was eighth and captain Cliff Childs ninth on the national ranking, as both are second team all-Canadians. Rookies Ryan Cassidy (15th) and Jackson Bocksnick (27th) came in next for the Vikes, with thirdyear Josh Clouthier in 29th out of 134 runners on the 10-km course. Vikes coaches Keith Butler and Brent Fougner both won coach of the year for their team’s success, Butler with the men and Fougner with the women.

Hundal was named MVP of the CIS nationals, was his team’s MVP in the championship final, and was earlier named Canada West rookie of the year. He also scored in the semifinal and was named player of the game in the Vikes quarterfinal win over the Montreal Carabins. More than 3,000 fans witnessed his heroics in the big game on Sunday, as Hundal took a headed pass from forward Jordie Oberg off his chest and arched it over Huskies goalie Adam Miller for his first goal in the 53rd minute. Then, in the 77th minute, Hundal streaked in and tapped home Craig Gorman’s cross from the goal-line. Wes Barret scored the Vikes first goal in the 43rd minute while Elvir Gigolaj of London, Ont., scored for Saint Mary’s in the 66th minute. It’s UVic’s fifth national title in school history. Ther others came in 1975, 1987, 1996 and 2004. Vikes head coach Bruce Wilson was at the helm for the latter two of those championships. “We had a lot of senior players who came back this year and we picked up some quality rookies as well,” Wilson said. “I’m so happy, I don’t know what to say. I feel so fortunate that we won this game in front of this great crowd with great alumni presence and they were all loud.” Vikes goalkeeper and Oak Bay native Elliot Mitrou only made two saves, but one was crucial as he acrobatically tipped a ball over the crossbar in the 88th minute. Vikes Gavin Barrett, Andrew Ravenhill, Oberg and Hundal all made the CIS tournament all-star team. sports@vicnews.com
