Closing restaurant wasn’t only option
NEWS EXCLUSIVE
Information obtained by the News shows council decision was contrary to staff recommendation Kyle Slavin News staff
The closed door decision to shut down the restaurant at the municipally owned Cedar Hill golf course was made despite a recommendation from staff to give the facility another chance. According to documents obtained through the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, Saanich’s mayor and councillors chose an option that was more severe than what their staff suggested. A joint report from the directors of finance and parks and recreation recommended the restaurant remain open, but only at peak times (in the summer and around Christmas). “Should this approach not prove successful, the next step would be to close the restaurant operation entirely,” read Sharon Tiffin/News staff the report, dated Dec. 5, 2011. KeepCristina Sousa, who recently celebrated her ing the restaurant open in this manner 10th year working at the Cedar Hill golf course, “will determine if the food and beverage staffs the small shop that’s still open. operation is economically viable in this location.” The report first went before council at an in-camera meeting on Dec. 12. On Jan. 9, 2012, also in-camera, council voted to close the restaurant. Three other options were presented to council in the report. Each focused on how much Saanich would have to subsidize the course, and each was accompanied by a list of pros and cons for the municipality. Maintaining the status quo, the report said, would require an $819,000 subsidy in 2012 and would result in either a 0.9-per-cent property tax increase, or a 1.5-per-cent budget reduction for all municipal departments. A partial subsidy of $482,000 would need to be funded by either a 0.5-per-cent tax increase, or a 1-per-cent budget reduction. An outright outsourcing of the golf course and food service would require no subsidy, but could have negative impacts on the golfers and community. Sharon Tiffin/News staff

Councillors chose the most ‘fiscally responsible’ option Continued from Page A1
“Adding the financial burden of budgeting for an annual golf subsidy … will increase the difficulty of achieving a reasonable property tax lift in 2012 and shift away from the council mandate for the (golf course) to be self sufficient,” the report reads. Coun. Vicki Sanders said a very tight budget was the reason the more drastic decision was made to close the restaurant. “The decisions were based on what we heard during the election – they want their council to be fiscally responsible,” she said. The changes decided on – closing the restaurant, and not increasing taxes – struck “a balance” between financial prudency and maintaining municipal services, Sanders added. Coun. Susan Brice agreed. “I think all of us came to the decision that it would not be supported by the public to continue subsidizing the food service aspect of the operation,” she said. “Food service is an area that we didn’t feel would be an essential component to the success of the golf course.” The News attempted to ask all members of council why they

Ultimate toy show takes over Pearkes Brittany Lee News staff
Candice Woodward has been on the hunt for Magnum P.I. and his Ferrari for eight years. Woodward needs to find the U.S. television character and his beloved car to add them to her collection of toy robots and other miscellaneous things. Woodward owns Cherry Bomb Toys on Broad Street. She’s been collecting toys for about 10 years, she said, and hopes she’ll find what she’s looking for at this weekend’s Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair. “Will I find it at the show? I don’t know … (but) that would be awesome,” Woodward said with a laugh. The ninth edition of the twiceannual hobby and toy show
takes place this Sunday (April 1) from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Fieldhouse at Pearkes recreation centre. Almost 200 vendors, including Cherry Bomb Toys, Rainy Day Play and Vancouver-based Urban Samurai Hobbies, will have action figures, vintage toys and die-cast cars on display. As well, comic illustrators Glen Mullaly, Ken Steacy and Gareth Kyle Gaudin will be selling and signing copies of their work. Whether people are die-hard collectors, looking for something they’ve always wanted, or simply want to browse the tables, Woodward promises a family-friendly event. There will be carnival games for children, with donations going to the B.C. Children’s Hospital Foundation.
As well, the Superheroes of Victoria will be on hand at the Superhero Creation Station to make masks and capes for guests, by donation. Bids can be made on the silent auction, with the items valued at more than $3,000. Proceeds from the auction go to the MS Society of Canada. There will also be draws for door prizes every half-hour. The toy fair runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., but those with early bird tickets can get a sneak peak at 8 a.m. Early bird tickets cost $10 at the door or $5 in the store before Sunday.

Police release strategic plan Kyle Slavin News staff
Consider this your opportunity to police the police. Later this year the Saanich police department will begin issuing quarterly report cards on itself, telling the community how well or how poorly the force is doing at achieving the goals set out in their strategic plan, released Thursday. Saanich police Chief Mike Chadwick said it allows his department to be more accountable to the community it serves. “The community has a right to know what it is we’re embarking on, why we’re embarking on it, and how well we’re doing on what we say we’re going to do,” Chadwick said. While the 30-page strategic plan is supported by 15 generic key priorities – which range from drug enforcement to competency development – the “meat and potatoes” are the 106 well-defined goals, or initiatives, the department aims to achieve by 2016. Every three months, the department will release an online report card updating residents on the tractioned gained on each of the 106 initiatives. “It’s one thing to come up with a strategic plan, but we got tremendous input from the community – it’s only right and proper that we go out and report to them what it is we’re doing to accomplish the issues they brought forward to us,” Chadwick said, citing 51 community meetings that shaped the document. Among the lengthy list of initiatives are such goals as
A
voiding the ‘A word’
The Victoria Police Department released its strategic plan last November, with an overarching goal of creating an amalgamated police force in the Capital Region. “We don’t know what we will call it. It could be the Saanich-Victoria Regional Force,” VicPD Chief Const. Jamie Graham said at the time. But Saanich’s strategic plan makes no mention of a regionalized force. “Amalgamation is not an issue that we intend to debate or include in our strategic plan,” Saanich police Chief Mike Chadwick said. “We are fully committed, and have always been fully committed, to integrating services – rationalized integration is the way to go. I don’t personally believe amalgamation is the way to go, but I’m mindful that it’s a political decision.” Among Saanich’s 106 initiatives, however, there are mentions of integrated and regionalized services. The department would like to see a regional high-speed pursuit policy created and implemented by June. As well, there’s mention that an integrated municipal unit with VicPD could be established to more efficiently conduct computer forensic examinations. Saanich police are currently under contract with Oak Bay to conduct major crime investigations in that municipality. The strategic plan includes details of how the two jurisdictions will work together “to ensure there is a shared understanding of roles, responsibilities, and expectations” each department’s officers take. – with files from Erin McCracken adopting new technologies for in-car video systems and virtual workstations, creating a new Community Liaison division, and expanding and better managing exhibit storage. “The next step will be for council and the police board to meet later this spring and get a good understanding of it. And then council needs to give the police board some expectations of what’s actually achievable in this economy,” said Mayor Frank Leon-
ard, who chairs the Saanich Police Board. Finances will dictate a good portion of how fast the initiatives are achieved, Chadwick agreed. But he’s confident everything’s attainable. “I think the way the strategic plan has been written, and the way the work plans are coming out, it’s all doable within the budgets we’ve been traditionally working with for the last many years,” he said. The one issue that may not be as doable as all the oth-
ers: remediation of the aging 52-year-old police building on Vernon Avenue. “I’ve been working towards this for almost 10 years, since I was deputy chief. … Our overall square footage is significantly less than it should be, and it does start to impact on your ability to deliver an effective and efficient service,” Chadwick said. “We had several options put forward by architects (for building upgrades), ranging from significant additions to this building to (constructing) a new freestanding building. A lot of that is based on how much the municipality is able to put forward.” Public information officer Sgt. Dean Jantzen said some of the initiatives are mandates from the province, such as the Conducted Energy Weapons training recommendations that came from the Braidwood Inquiry, which examined the Tasering death of Robert Dziekanski. Chadwick encourages the public to provide input on the strategic plan and the initiatives, which is posted online at Saanichpolice.ca. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Mediator named in teacher dispute Former University of Northern B.C. president Charles Jago has been appointed to mediate the dispute between the B.C. Teachers’ Federation and the bargaining agent for the province’s 60 school districts. Education Minister George Abbott announced Jago’s appointment Wednesday. Abbott said Jago is bound to seek a settlement within the terms of the government’s “net zero” wage mandate, which has been the basis for 130 settlements with public sector unions. Other than that, Jago has a “quite unre-
stricted mandate” to find common ground in other issues. Jago’s mandate is defined by the legislation passed to end the BCTF strike. Jago has until the end of June to work with the union and the employers’ association. He is being paid $2,000 a day, which Abbott said is a standard rate for mediators in large labour disputes. BCTF president Susan Lambert told reporters the union will participate in the mediation, but she is concerned about Jago’s lack of labour relations experience.

Students applaud B.C. Transit decision to restore service hours Fewer students will be left behind en route to UVic and Camosun
University of Victoria Student Society Director of Finance and Operation Dylan Sherlock cheers B.C. Transit’s decision to restore 7,000 hours of service back into the system.
Natalie North News staff
Dylan Sherlock says he’s lucky to live at the south end of the No. 4 bus route. Just a few stops after he boards the morning bus headed to the University of Victoria, the bus reaches its capacity for riders leaving those who don’t share Sherlock’s good fortune waiting at the curb. “A lot of days, just one bus will pass over 100 people,” said Sherlock, director of finance and operations for the UVic Students’ Society. Between Sept. 1, 2011 and Jan. 31, 2012, transit drivers reported a total 29,296 pass ups, with the vast majority of that number (20,448) on routes servicing Camosun College and UVic. That’s all due to change April 1. B.C. Transit’s recent budget includes the restoration of 7,000 service hours cut last year to save funds lost from declining ridership. Approximately 5,000 hours are slated for the No. 4, 14, 16, 21 and 26 routes leading to UVic and/or Camosun campuses. “We’re ecstatic,” said Sherlock. “We really feel like there’s this forward momentum making

Keller-MacLeod. “And there were problems at that time as well.” The next step, Keller-MacLeod said, will include identifying key transit corridors and implementing bus priority and high occupancy vehicle lanes – a challenge she put forward to the mayors of Saanich, Esquimalt, Sidney, Colwood and Victoria during the last Victoria Regional Transit Commission meeting. “You hook them while they’re young,” Sherlock said. “You get people on the bus while they’re going to university and it’ll become a part of their culture about how they approach transportation … On the flip side, if their experience is terrible, then students’ impressions of public transportation is going to be very different.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Don’t try to be like Jack After Jack Layton died, everyone knew that whoever replaced him as federal leader of the NDP would have giant shoes to fill. Layton’s talent for uniting the party and reaching out to people across the country made him a sort of folk legend, even before cancer stole him too soon at age 61. Newly selected NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the 57-year-old Quebecer who helped Layton transform the party from a virtual non-entity in that province to a substantial force, taking 58 of 75 seats in last year’s election, is clearly a leader of some repute. What is also clear is he doesn’t have the charisma Layton had, and developed, as the Orange crush flattened the Liberal red machine to become the official Opposition to Stephen Harper’s Conservative majority in May 2011. Mulcair, who was not the first choice as leader for Capital Region MPs Denise Savoie (Victoria) and Randall Garrison (EsquimaltJuan de Fuca) until the final ballot at the recent convention, has been a virtual unknown on the West Coast – unlike Layton – for all except diehard political watchers. But does a leader known for being prickly have to be the second coming of Layton to win the hearts and minds of people west of Thunder Bay? Harper has shown that a leader can come across to many as cold and calculating, yet still win a majority in parliament. Let’s remember that even under Layton, the NDP won just 15 of 77 seats in the western provinces, including 12 in B.C. To win over non-NDP voters, it’ll take more than criss-crossing the country connecting with people, as Layton famously did – he visited Victoria more often than we might have expected for a Toronto MP. Mulcair will be put under the microscope about everything from his policies to his personality, by his supporters and critics alike, in the three years leading to the next election. In that time, he must prove he is his own person, a leader who stands on his own feet. And he must avoid handlers who would try to make him a kindler, gentler version of himself. What do you think?

Newt Gingrich once The State of held rational positions Tennessee, for example, passed but have since capitulated to the a law that allows teachers who fossil fuel lobby. Rick Santorum don’t believe in evolution or just seems out of touch on every human-caused climate change issue, from rights for women and to challenge existing scientific gays to the environment. He’s theories.

Some of these people put their misguided beliefs above rational thought. Republican senator James Inhofe, one of the more vocal and active climate change deniers in U.S. politics, recently said, “God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.” That statement is in keeping with the Cornwall Alliance’s Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, which has been signed by a range of religious leaders, media people, and even some who work in climate science, such as Roy Spencer, David Legates, and Ross McKitrick. It says, in part, “We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably
suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception.” It also states that reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and fossil fuel use will “greatly increase the price of energy and harm economies.” The economy matters more than the environment, and God won’t let puny humans damage “His” 6,000-year-old creation anyway. That’s not to criticize religion; only those who let it blind them to science and who would use it to advance agendas that don’t even reflect the spirit of their own traditions. Lest we get too smug in Canada, we must remember that we have politicians who hold similar religious views and are just as anti-science, although Canada has so far managed to keep religion largely out of politics. But recent cutbacks to government scientific research
and staff show that many of our leaders also believe that the environment should take a back seat to corporate interests, and that any science that gets in the way must be hushed up or discredited. Never mind that the environment is real and that we depend on it for survival and that the economy is a human invention that can be altered to suit the times. Never mind that a long-term healthy economy depends on a healthy environment and that placing all our bets on non-renewable and polluting fuels is folly. These people want to ignore both the problems and the solutions for the sake of short-term and shortsighted benefits for a relatively small number of people. Whether they justify it with religion or political ideology, it still doesn’t make sense. Learn more at suzuki.org.
species co-existing together within its ethereal system; life and death both contributing to its surreal architecture. Ever since humanity’s exordium into nature’s prodigious framework, we have done nothing but attempt to mutilate it: clearcutting inhabited forests, building cities, creating pollution and oceanic oil spills, etc. Now we have so selfishly come to a point where a deer walks through our backyard or gets hit by a car and we devise a plan to impede their reproduction and disrupt nature’s evolutionary process. The only reason deer are in our municipality is because we sabotaged their home to build ours. Deer do not understand the difference between a natural food source and a commercial crop; they are trying to survive within the dysfunctional environment that our genus has fabricated. Through my window into the backyard I see birds singing and
squirrels leaping from tree to tree; they are inferior to our race just as the deer are, should we get rid of them as well? Please let nature be nature; it’s never done any wrong unto us other than let us exist with it. Tyler Parker Oak Bay
Readers respond: Transit funding, living with deer Generate other revenue sources for infrastructure There are other alternatives to revenue generation than the traditional property taxes and hiking the gas tax dedicated for improving transit. We do not need to rely just on traditional means of revenue generation towards funding the requisite transit infrastructure to serve Greater Victoria over the next 25 years. At present, as reported, B.C. Transit is seeking approval of a $106-million budget for Greater Victoria bus service rather than imposing a property tax hike of anywhere up to 10 per cent. Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin would like to see a three-per-cent gas tax increase to allow Victoria to gather a reserve fund to pay for transit infrastructure. Meantime, Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard calls such a tax increase extremely premature. The problem is this debate
epitomizes the approach of reliance on only traditional revenue sources. We need to start thinking outside of the box. For instance, in the Lower Mainland there are suggestions to tolling the George Massey Tunnel and other crossings to pay for requisite transit infrastructure. That possibility could be made reality if Metro Vancouver and the province support the suggestions in a recent TransLink report examining potential revenue streams, including tolling major bridges and the tunnel. The report, “Evaluation of Revenue Sources to Support Transportation Improvements in Metro Vancouver,” looked at a wide range of new funding options, including tolls on existing crossings over the Fraser River, that would include the Alex Fraser Bridge and George Massey Tunnel. A special committee comprising the
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, TransLink, and the cities of Vancouver and Surrey, is also looking at such options. We could apply this approach to the Greater Victoria area with tolls on two major bridge projects: the Blue Bridge replacement and the Craigflower Bridge. For both, this would encourage greater transit usage while creating a sustainable revenue source. Avi Ickovich Langford

‘Emotional’ finish to owl rescue One couple’s urban wildlife adventure sees happy ending thanks to Wild ARC Natalie North News staff
On Feb. 4, Norman Prelypchan and his wife Trudi noticed something peculiar. While out for their afternoon walk along Beach Drive near Mountjoy Road, they came across a dead squirrel and moved it to the side of the road. But it wasn’t the initial encounter with the roadkill that took the Prelypchans aback. Later on when they returned for their evening walk, the same squirrel was once again back in the centre of Beach Drive, only this time, a second automobile victim lay by its side. “There was an owl lying on its back, its head lulled over and blood coming out of its beak,” Norman said. “It was just heart-rendering, really. “Its chest was heaving very quickly, many times per second, as if she might have been in a death throe.” Norman picked up the owl by its talons, wings flopped to the side and placed it away from the road. Assuming the animal was at the end of its life, Norman turned back to walk home. Then came a rustling from the brush. The owl attempted to stand in what looked like a “drunken stupor,” he said. Shortly afterward, Norman contacted the B.C. SPCA Wild Animal Rehabilitation Centre (ARC), which sent a driver out to pick up the bird, an adult female barred owl. At 11 p.m. she was taken to Central Victoria Pet Hospital and onto Wild ARC. There, she was treated for head trauma and extensive bruising to her left wing. She also had a substantial amount of blood in her nose and eyes – a concern given the species’ reliance on night vision for hunting. “Owls can very much defend themselves with claws and beaks, but in this case it was lying on its side and definitely not able to fight,” said Kari Marks, Wild ARC manager. Marx suggests covering an injured bird with a towel or blanket if need be for rescue. The owl was treated until last Friday (March 23) and when fully recovered, Wild ARC wildlife rehabilitator Louise Dykslag, facilitated a reunion of sorts. In the late afternoon sun along Mountjoy Road, Norman, who as a child in the Prairies had once rescued and attempted to make a pet of an owl, and Trudi, stood watching the Wild ARC pickup truck. Dykslag retrieved the owl from the vehicle. When she released her hold on the animal, it flew

The majority of the injuries were due to vehicle collisions. The Prelypchans contacted the News in hopes of spreading more awareness of Wild ARC and urban wildlife rehabilitation.

Brian Jackson retires after 17 years in Victoria Vivian Moreau News staff
He’s read the news on the BBC and goosestepped with John Cleese, yet Brian Jackson is most familiar to Victoria residents as the symphony’s principal pops conductor. After 17 years though, Jackson, 68, is retiring. This weekend he will conduct his last three performances as PPC. With the Canadian College of Performing Arts he will conduct the troupe through 45 minutes of Broadway song and dance medleys. “You’re getting a theatrical experience for a symphonic price,” says Jackson. It’s the fourth time he’s collaborated with the Oak Bay-based college, a group of performers he describes as wonderful. “They’re young but respectful and professional.” Victoria is a long way from Jackson’s Ontario home, but even further from where he grew up in Cornwall, England. From a working class family, Jackson says at age two he sang along with the radio and was picking out tunes on an aunt’s piano. By five he was taking piano lessons and by age 13 was off to Clifton College in Bristol on a music scholarship where he learned to conduct and play the organ. At Clifton he also met John Cleese. Although Cleese was four years older, the actor who went on to Monty Python fame picked out Jackson to work alongside him in an outdoor play. “He was the platoon sergeant and that’s where he got that walk – he was 6’4” even at that time,” Jackson recalled.

Victoria Symphony Orchestra’s principal pops conductor Brian Jackson retires after a final series of concerts this weekend. Cleese went on to Cambridge and Jackson to Oxford to read music. At 21, he took a break from music and to work at the BBC as a studio manager. But music called. “On the other side of the glass the BBC symphony would be recording and I would be telling the conductor ‘the brasses are too loud here, are you sure you mean this tempo?’” Adventure also then called and he emigrated to Canada in 1968, ending up in Peterborough, Ont. as a church organist.
pop concerts.” And although Jackson will conduct the opening set of pop concerts next season, the series will have a facelift, VSO’s executive director says. In a bid to attract younger audiences the pop series will include a Beatles Sgt. Pepper tribute, says Mitchell Krieger. Guest conductor Sean O’Loughlin will step behind the music stand as well as maestra Tania Miller, who will conduct the Christmas concert. Jackson will continue to conduct London, Sudbury and Kitchener/Waterloo symphonies, but he will miss the VSO. “It’s now one of the top orchestras in the country – they’re disciplined and they love what they’re doing.” vmoreau@oakbaynews.com
After six months, he was conducting the Peterborough Symphony. He was 25. Four years later he took time to study in Germany and Vienna before heading to the London, Ontario symphony where he conducted for 36 years. In 1995 Jackson stepped in as choral society conductor with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra and in turn became principal pops conductor. “I knew by age 45 I was not going to the Berlin Philharmonic, I knew I wasn’t at that level, so I created my own sort of genre:

Philomela Women’s Choir satisfies with glorious food Sink your teeth into a concert of choral repertoire throughout the ages on the topic of food with the University of Victoria Philomela Women’s Choir led by Mary Kennedy. From the renaissance round, Hey, Ho, Nobody’s at Home to Bartok’s Bread Baking, to a commissioned suite of children’s songs about food by composer Ben Bolden, to familiar jazz pieces Java Jive and Chili Con Carne, Food Glorious Food is set to make your mouth water. Special guest Louise Rose will accompany the choir in a commissioned arrangement of the spiritual I'm gonna sit at the welcome table. Rose, who received an hon- Louise Rose orary doctorate from UVic in 2000, has been a friend and mentor of Kennedy for many years. The concert will also offer an opportunity for the audience to join with the singers in a trio of popular songs about food. “We can't divulge the titles,” says Kennedy.
“You'll just have to buy a ticket to find out.” Of special note at this concert will be the addition of a group of male choristers who will join with the women in the Champagne Chorus from Die Feldermaus.

Canadian superstar violinist James Ehnes returns, 17year-old prodigy Jan Liesieki debuts and for the first time ever, the Victoria Symphony will perform Nielson’s Symphony No. 5. The new season is the 10th for Music Director Tania Miller who has programmed Mozart’s Requiem and Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring in celebration of her anniversary. It was also announced that the VS Pops Series will feature an exciting array of concerts from flamenco to the Beatles to Cirque de la Symphonie.

Among winter’s highlights will be one of Canada’s most popular singer-songwriters, Chantal Kreviazuk, debuting with the orchestra in December and performing her greatest hits surrounded by the symphonic splendour of the Victoria Symphony.

With childhood obesity on the rise, health professionals and researchers alike are seeking ways to ensure the next generation grows up healthy. David Trill, a masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree candidate in the School of Exercise Science, Health and Physical Education at the University of Victoria, is studying child health through healthy eating activities. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s currently seeking participants to get his home-based research project off the ground. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a lot of school-based research, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s working up to a certain point,â&#x20AC;? Trill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My approach is to try healthy eating strategies through the families because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the parents who are the gatekeepers for the kids.â&#x20AC;? Trill would like the help of 98 family units consisting of one parent and one child between the age of 11 and 13 years old. (Larger families may participate, though data will only be recorded from

The goal of the project, slated for a lateApril start, is to teach simple, healthy nutritional strategies, such as cooking together, that both parents and children can take part in. It will require completing about 10 to 12 hours of activities during its eight-week duration. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m engaged in the research world. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m also a very slight cooking aficionado,â&#x20AC;? said Trill, an endurance athlete, who has long seen food as a means of bettering
physical performance. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think a fantastic way to cope (with) and prevent (ailments and illness) is through enhanced nutritional diet, and that comes with a better nutritional understanding and a bit of passion about food. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that we all have to do everyday, three times a day.â&#x20AC;?

24-hour game a hockey festival Rink of Dreams 24-hour game goes Saturday to Sunday Travis Paterson News staff
Travis Paterson/News staff
Lawyer Nav Parhar, left, and investment advisor Harp Sandhu model the 2012 Rink of Dreams hockey sweater. The stylish keepsake goes to players who participate in the 24-hour hockey game from noon to noon, Saturday (March 31) to Sunday at Bear Mountain Arena.
At first look, the Rink of Dreams 24-hour charity hockey game is a lot of things. It’s a minimum of four dressing rooms in constant rotation, an hourly exchange as hundreds of players, 15 at a time, populate the home and away benches of Bear Mountain Arena from noon on Saturday (March 31) to noon Sunday. It’s Marty the Marmot refereeing four- to six-year-old kids. It’s 39 other mascots battling for the attention of kids and parents off the ice. “More than anything it’s family, family, family,” said lead organizer

Calgary Flames fans can bid on a signed Mike Cammaleri jersey in the silent auction. The hockey part of it is straight forward. Players, sometimes in teams and sometimes individually, show up prior to their ice slot, be it 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. They gear up, and slip on either a Team Grey or Team Blue sweater. The 2012 version of the sweater, made by Teamworks, has a fresher design and with new sponsors from the 2011 black versus white uni’s. The game wraps up at noon on Sunday with closing ceremonies. The inaugural Rink of Dreams raised $104,000 in 2011 for the Victoriabased Help Fill A Dream Foundation. Last minute player, and even team spots are still available through Rinkofdreamsvictoria.com or through Sandhu at Harp.sandhu@ macquarie.com. sports@vicnews.com
Canada sevens crack top-15
Vic players get call against USA The future looks bright for women’s field hockey in Victoria. Three members of Canada’s under-21 team and four more on the under-17 team are playing in the Canada vs. U.S.A. Challenge in Vancouver, April 4 to 8. Defender Kathleen Leahy of the University of Victoria Vikes (Oak Bay High), midfielder Paige Norris of the Boston College Eagles (Mount Douglas) and midfielder Maddie Secco of Oak Bay High will represent the South Island on Canada’s U21 squad against U.S.A.’s under-19 team in the fourmatch series. Still in Grade 12, Secco is the only Victoria athlete currently rostered with the national women’s senior team. Leahy will play her first major game since recovering from ACL surgery this year. Canada is also entering an under-17 team led by Vikes assistant coach Krista Thompson. That team features Jenna Dhillon of St. Michaels University School, Elspeth McGillivray of Glenlyon Norfolk School, Gillian Kirkpatrick of Oak Bay High and Kristina Walters-Shumka of Claremont. The Canada vs. U.S.A. Challenge junior national test series is a warm-up for the Junior Pan American Championships in September. sports@vicnews.com
Harp Sandhu. “We want people to know just how much there is to do, there’s so much to check out and hang around, it’s basically a hockey carnival atmosphere Saturday afternoon and evening. It’s really just using hockey as an excuse to bring families together for a fun charity event.” Outside is a Telus Kinnect tent, mini cars for kids and plenty of games. There’s also a bar in the arena with Hockey Night in Canada on TV. “But best of all is a ton of awesome prizes with 200 balloons at $5 each, and all prizes are a minimum $10 value,” Sandhu said. One balloon that will be heavily sought after has two Vancouver Canucks tickets to the April 8 home game with Helijet passes and a room at the Four Seasons hotel. “We also have a chuck-a-puck at 4 p.m. Saturday to win Canucks tickets, B.C. Ferries passes and a $100 dinner card for April 8.”

Vikes rowing split Brown Cup with UBC UVic Vikes men’s and women’s crews split the Brown Cup with their counterparts, the UBC Thunderbirds, on the Gorge Waterway on Saturday (March 24). The annual Brown Cup brings rowing back to its heritage, as the eight-person sculls follow the natural features of the Gorge, 3,500 metres from Tillicum narrows to the Johnson Street Bridge. And it couldn’t have been closer, as both the men’s and women’s premier eight-person races ended with less than a second in separation. The Vikes women defeated UBC by a
0.63-second margin, while UBC edged the Vikes by 0.93 of a second in the men’s race. The Vikes’ eightperson reserve boats swept UBC’s, with the Vikes men 12.60 seconds ahead and the women 19.74 seconds in front. Later on Saturday the Vikes rowing program met for its annual banquet. Third-year athlete Will O’Connell and fifthyear team captain Leanne Fells, both from Victoria, were named UVic’s male and female rowers of the year.

The Victoria Foundation & Black Press Working Together – how philanthropy shapes our community 3
1. Children at the Pender Island school take part in a music session as part of the Island Mosaic project, Pender Island School. 2. Harpist Alison Vardy at a Ptarmigan Taking Flight seniors’ performance at James Bay Lodge. The Taking Flight program received one of the 2012 grants from the Ernest and Hazel Kay Fund. Created from a bequest of $1.1M from the Kay family, this fund, administered by the Victoria Foundation, supports projects to improve the quality of life for seniors on southern Vancouver Island. 3. Ptarmigan facilitator Tina Farmilo and children in the Island Mosaic arts project on Mayne Island. 4. Ptarmigan staff and participants at the Strength Within summer camp for survivors of childhood cancer, Pender Island.
Ptarmigan Music and Theatre Society
Giving wing to art’s power for learning, healing, connecting By Sarah Monteith For Patrick Smith, artistic director and cofounder of the Ptarmigan Music and Theatre Society, the arts are an essential link for building connection and vitality in communities. “I believe the arts reflect the very best of the soul of humanity,” he said. Smith, a professional musician and formerly a member of the Vancouver folk group Under The Moss, formed the Ptarmigan Society charity with band mate John McLachlan in 1991. Since then, the society has developed free or low-cost and accessible art programs and recitals that aim to engage, innovate, educate and promote healing in communities throughout Vancouver Island and in Vancouver. The society currently runs three core programs; Mosaic for children and youth, Taking Flight for seniors, and Strength Within for people with disabilities and survivors of illness. Over the past decade, the Victoria Foundation has provided close to $25,000 for Ptarmigan programs on southern Vancouver Island. Mosaic: a medley of art for children and youth Mosaic organizes a variety of visual art workshops and musical and theatrical performances. It also fosters creative mentorships for children
Tony Gooch, member of the Victoria Foundation’s Victoria Circle
and youth living on the southern Gulf Islands. The goal has been to give students living in these small, isolated communities the opportunity to socialize and learn about their local history through different art mediums. Since its conception in 2007, Ptarmigan has conducted 2,000 hours of workshops, recruited 43 local artists, and has involved 800 children in Mosaic events. Bryce Woollcombe, a teacher on Pender Island, credits the Ptarmigan Society for sustaining the performing arts on the island amid the increasing decline in arts funding for schools and says some children have been inspired to pursue a career in the arts as a result of the society’s mentorships. “Having the expertise, the time, the instruments and the moxie to just do community arts is essential. Ptarmigan does this with thoughtful, artful, stubborn patience.” Taking Flight: soars with seniors Ptarmigan’s Taking Flight program brings vocal and instrumental recitals to seniors living in Victoria and the Gulf Islands, with the objective of having a positive impact on quality of life. All performances are planned with the consultation of the care facilities, therapists and activity coordinators. For many seniors, live performances are inaccessible due to their financial
or physical limitations. For Smith, this is a good reason why this program exists. “We wanted to take our programs right to the communities where people could have a hands-on experience with artistic engagement.” Harpist Alison Vardy, who is also Ptarmigan’s program coordinator, has performed at seniors care homes and the Victoria Hospice and said patients and their families are appreciative of the atmosphere created by her music. “The feedback I get is how relaxing and soothing the harp music is,” she said. “I always get thanked – and once I got a kiss from a woman whose husband was a [hospice] patient!” Strength Within: tapping the healing power of the arts The Strength Within program focuses on providing members of the special needs community with ways to experience positive interactions through workshops and music events in hopes of encouraging social engagement, creativity, and self esteem. Activities span a range of art forms, from music to drama, to visual arts to dance, giving participants – such as survivors of childhood cancer – the opportunity to express their experiences and connect with others who’ve shared similar trauma.
