Apology to Christopher Hage

Erin McCracken

On Sept. 28, 2011, the Victoria News printed a front-page article that included a photograph of Christopher Hage. The article also included photographs of suspected criminals. By including Mr. Hage’s photo in the article, the Victoria News implied that Mr. Hage was one of the suspected criminals. The above photograph was printed in error. The Victoria News unequivocally apologizes for printing Mr. Hage’s photograph and including it with the article. editor@vicnews.com

Taxi drivers in the Capital Region, faced with the growing problem of ride-and-dash passengers, are seeking the right to ask for an up-front deposit payment before the trip begins. A few months ago, Yellow Cab taxi driver Kuldeep Singh sat behind the wheel of his cab waiting for his passenger to return with the $30 fee for her trip. “She said, ‘I’ll come back.’ So you wait for 15 to 20 minutes. She never comes,� the cabbie said. “She left a piece of I.D. (as collateral for payment) and the I.D. is still at the office.� Singh says his experience is commonplace among drivers. Blue Bird Cabs driver Rakesh Kohli will never forget the time two young women got a free ride out of him. “They asked me to go on Gorge Road and by the time I got to the Bay and Blanshard traffic light they just opened up the door and ran away,� Kohli said. “What can I do?� The situation has prompted the Greater Victoria Taxi Association, which represents upwards of 270 drivers, to head to the Mainland tomorrow (April 5) to request that the Passenger Transportation Board expand the Taxi Bill of Rights to the Capital Region. In 2007, B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure began developing the bill for Metro Vancouver, where more than 50 per cent of taxis in the province operate. The statement of principles out-

Blue Bird Cabs driver Rakesh Kohli, secretary-treasurer of the Greater Victoria Taxi Association, wants to reduce the number of customers who don’t pay their fare. The association, which represents 270 drivers, hopes to see a Taxi Bill of Rights introduced that would require customers to pay a deposit first. lines expectations between passengers and drivers, including the right of drivers to refuse to transport a passenger if a deposit isn’t provided when requested. Until the bill applies to the Capital Region, there is little drivers can do to recoup their financial losses, Singh said. Drivers can file a police report, but some are loathe to spend upwards of an hour doing that, meaning that many cases go unreported, he said.

We know it’s

“Lots of drivers, for $10 or $15, they don’t bother.� If police are called and there is proof, the passenger can be charged under the Criminal Code with the summary offence of fraud in relation to fares. Drivers can ask to hold a customer’s I.D. while they go get cash. But only about 20 per cent have reclaimed this collateral at Yellow Cab, said Sandi Poulin, human resource and marketing manager for

Yellow Cab of Victoria. And in certain locations such as Sooke, where mobile debit machines don’t work, often drivers are left with an unpaid tab if a passenger doesn’t have cash. “You can’t get on a (public transit) bus and say I’ll pay you next week or tomorrow,� Poulin said. “No business would do that, yet it happens every day with all the (taxi companies), not just Yellow Cab.� emccracken@vicnews.com

Clients may get payday loan refunds Cash Store Financial may appeal order Erin McCracken News staff

The Cash Store and Instaloans have been ordered to repay customers illegally overcharged on payday loan cash cards. Edmonton-based Cash Store Financial Inc., which has The Cash Store and Instaloans branches in Victoria, Esquimalt, Saanich and Colwood, was the focus of a Consumer Protection B.C. investigation in 2010. The inquiry revealed customers were being billed more than the allowed maximum of $23 per $100 borrowed on cash cards. The company was ordered in November 2010 to stop the

practice and issue refunds. Cash Store Financial appealed the decision, but Consumer Protection B.C. announced last week that much of the original compliance order has been upheld. The money-lending company continues to dispute the order. “We remain of the view that we are not an issuer of cash cards and we are not therefore required to issue any refunds in the manner directed by Consumer Protection B.C.,” Cash Store Financial stated on its website. Still, Consumer Protection B.C. maintains any clients who have been overcharged since Nov. 1, 2009 must receive refunds within a 90-day period. Cash Store Financial must also pay a $25,000 administrative penalty and other costs. “Payday loan consumers can-

not be charged extra for cash cards, that is the law,” Manjit Bains, vice-president of corporate relations for Consumer Protection B.C., said in a statement. The money lender is considering launching a second appeal. “In any event ... any potential refund would not be significant,” the company said.

was brought to council’s attention in February 2012. It seems many on council, however, hadn’t grasped the change when they reaffirmed moving forward with the design, with a higher price, in mid March. For Coun. Marianne Alto, the main issue is communication. “One of the most challenging pieces for me, and the most frustrating, is that I haven’t been satisfied with the timeliness or the extent of information that we had,” Alto said. Better and more frequent communication by the bridge-replacement team was a key part of the motion when council passed the new $92.8million project estimate. Coun. Pam Madoff said the change in scope to the bridge is “not a dealbreaker.” However, it does leave her with more questions. “Having a walkway that works and makes sense is really important,” she said. That means making sure the grade change from Wharf Street down to the walkway is wheelchair accessible, and that the walkway is safely closed to pedestrians before any bridge movement, she said. rholmen@vicnews.com

A change in scope to the new Johnson Street Bridge design will mean the public will no longer be able to walk through its wheels while the bridge is rising and lowering. Watching the workings of the moving bridge from a walkway underneath was a feature once highlighted as part of the bridge’s appeal. “You can still walk through the wheel,” said Dwayne Kalynchuk, director of engineering. “The only issue is when the bridge is open, you won’t be able to go there, so that’s maybe about four to five per cent of the time.” The bridge span will rest on two open wheels, located on the downtown side, which rotate to raise the bridge to its lifted position. A pedestrian walkway was originally designed to pass through both wheels as a free-floating structure. Now, the walkway will be attached to the wheels, meaning it will also rotate when the bridge is raised. Kalynchuk said this change in scope came to light late in 2011 and

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers. The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers. UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision. If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes. Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more serious. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a clouding of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible. The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun. To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation. Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

OUR VIEW

Beacon Hill icon deserves better City of Victoria staff are undertaking yet another study involving the Checkers Pavilion near the flagpole high in Beacon Hill Park. Past councils were faced with the same decision: fix it up or demolish it and remove the eyesore. According to the Hallmark Society, the city’s heritage watchdog, a report on the state and future of the pavilion was done just two Council must years ago. Clearly, given choose fate of the building’s current Checkers house condition, no concrete action followed, and thus, we have city staff seemingly duplicating their efforts. The waste of resources inherent in such a decision is irksome enough. Why not wait until council decides, once and for all, whether the pavilion is worth saving before spending money on figuring out how to do that. For the past 17 years or so, the building has been boarded up to protect it from vandals. Graffiti and vandalism had become a problem in years previous, due to an inability by city council to agree on the structure’s disposition. What is so difficult here? If it is deemed important enough to salvage, do so and move forward with beautifying it and creating a usable structure. If the existing pavilion isn’t worth saving, knock it down and put something appropriate in its place – or nothing. The site is a popular viewpoint for locals and tourists alike. Having an unaccessible, junkylooking building on the summit of the park – an acknowledged public gem in the region – is a poor way to cap this beautiful resource. There are likely many options for the use of the building or the site. Before any is chosen, however, council must determine how it feels about its importance to the history of the park and/or its cultural and environmental significance. We don’t need to spend more money determining what it will take to keep this eyesore in its current condition. Council needs to decide, once and for all, on a future for the pavilion, then live with their decision. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Of course van Dongen drove himself out of cabinet long before Clark returned. Chronic speeding by a public safety minister is a tough sell.

For the record, ministers Terry Lake, Shirley Bond, Pat Bell, Mary Polak, Rich Coleman and Stephanie Cadieux all said they are firmly on Clark’s election team. Independentminded backbenchers Bill Bennett and Kevin Krueger also saluted the B.C. Liberal banner. Randy Hawes allowed that he’s 65, so if he leaves it will be for the golf course.

Motorcycle dealers need to look at big picture

Project Grants support arts organizations undertaking special, one-time initiatives, as well as developmental or recurring projects.

Re: Dealers mourn loss of cop bike contract (News, March 30) In this story a local motorcycle dealer bemoans what he perceives as the loss of $278,340 to our area. But when we buy goods from other areas more cheaply than they could be purchased locally, we are richer, not poorer. As a result of this deal, Victoria residents will now have $278,340 worth of new motorcycles for our police department, plus whatever other money it would have cost to acquire those machines from a Victoria dealer. It is true that this benefit is dispersed amongst local taxpayers, and the cost is concentrated on local vendors. But this is the market’s method for communicating to entrepreneurs that our city may not be a good place to open or operate a motorcycle dealership, and that investors here should seek different opportunities. There are tremendous benefits from being free to trade with those outside our area, and those who express protectionist sentiments would impoverish us for their

Reader grateful to kind bus driver I travel on B.C. Transit frequently. On March 19, I was coming home on the No. 3 bus, with my walker and a cup of coffee. When I sat down I spilled the coffee. Naturally, I was upset and asked the driver for paper towel to wipe it up. As I was wiping, I dropped my bus pass. When I got home there was a call from Mike the driver. He told me what time he would be at my stop so he could give me the bus pass. Thank you again, Mike. I was in a lot of pain and very irritable. The service transit provides and the kindness of the drivers is wonderful. Linda Gokey Victoria

Transparency lacking at Esquimalt council During the November 2011 civic election in Esquimalt, candidates expressed support for transparency, if elected. Well, they were elected, and to date this

council has had 10 council meetings, six committee of the whole meetings and 15 in-camera meetings. Not too transparent. Nevertheless, to give these meetings some rationale, Esquimalt has had to dispose of some staff, which understandably needs to be done in-camera. What about the police report? The reason to go in-camera for this issue was to answer the question: Should the report be released to the public? It was not to discuss the report. It was to discuss a confidential clause in the request for proposals, which is posted online. So to protect comments made by council, it seems they find it easier to go in-camera and that way avoid public scrutiny. This was only one example. What other meetings were in-camera that really should not have been? Rod Lavergne Esquimalt

Esquimalt taxes out of control Re: Esquimalt budget talks continue (News, March 21) This is in response to Ms. Brames’ comments about yet

another property tax increase in Esquimalt. She claims it has to be done in order to maintain the levels of service we have come to enjoy. Here’s how that typically political statement stands up. I bought my current home in Esquimalt in 1985. We had our own police force, garbage pickup every week – from the backyard – and an annual debris cleanup (desks, chairs, sofas, etc.); all the items residents now decorate your boulevards with. Care to guess what my net taxes were then? $775. Now we have to rent our police from Victoria, garbage pickup is every two weeks and the annual cleanup is gone, “in an effort to save money.” My net taxes in 2011 were $3,200, an increase of 412 per cent. While it is true that the value of my home has risen by four times, that asset is only realized if I sold it and lived in a van by the river. So I ask you Ms. Brame, where is the value in yet another tax increase when we are paying too much now? We are literally being taxed out of the homes in which we grew up and raised our families.

WE’LL BE IN VICTORIA, EXCHANGING THE OLD BC HYDRO METER ON YOUR HOME WITH A NEW SMART METER.

News staff

Esquimalt is looking to a private company for better enforcement of its animal control bylaws. Starting this month, Victoria Animal Control Services Ltd. will add the township to its list of municipal clients, which also includes the City of Victoria and District of Oak Bay. Esquimalt council expressed enthusiasm that the company is willing and able to provide increased patrols and switch up its patrol schedule. “I’ve taken my family down to Fleming Beach on weekends and that’s a hard time to find somebody to control

BC Hydro is upgrading homes and businesses with new smart meters.

If they’re only working Monday to Friday, then we’re back to the same situation we had before.� The patrol schedule was expected to be a focus of contract negotiations, said Jeff Miller, Esquimalt director of engineering and public works. Coun. Meagan Brame said it’s important that the schedule not be predictable. “It’s been witnessed by residents: people opening the door of their car and dropping their dog off (at the park), going to Tim Hortons for a coffee and coming back and

“It’s been witnessed by residents: people opening the door of their car and dropping their dog off (at the park), going to Tim Hortons for a coffee ‌â€? – Coun. Meagan Brame picking up their dog,â€? she said. “So I look forward to the extra hours for sure.â€? The new three-year contract will cost the township $211,440 plus tax, about $10,000 more than what the Capital Regional District bid for the job. The contract with the CRD for animal control in Esquimalt ends tomorrow (March 31). The selection was

made based on various evaluation criteria, not solely on cost, Miller said. Victoria Animal Control Services said in its proposal it could enter a cost-sharing partnership with Esquimalt. “There was basically some cash back coming to us from the impoundment of animals,� Miller said. emccracken@ vicnews.com

Command changes in store for West Coast navy The reins of the Royal Canadian Navy on the West Coast will change hands this summer. After two years at the helm, Rear Admiral Nigel Greenwood will hand over command of naval opera-

tions to Commodore Bill Truelove at a change-ofcommand ceremony scheduled for early June. Truelove, who will be promoted to the rank of rear admiral, is currently serving in Kabul, Afghanistan.

Greenwood is set to retire from navy life. Commodore Peter Ellis, who commands the Pacific fleet of naval ships, is also moving on this summer. He will be promoted to the rank of rear-admiral and will

become deputy commander of the Canadian Expeditionary Force Command in Ottawa. His replacement will be navy Capt. Scott Bishop, who is coming from a command position in Halifax.

Defence Minister Peter MacKay announced several promotions and appointments for senior military personnel on March 27. He called them all “strong institutional leaders.” emccracken@vicnews.com TELUS AUTHORIZED DEALERS

The Story of

Easter Mark 15 & 16 New International Version (NIV)

Before Pilate – Very early in the morning, the J esus chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the

law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Jesus, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. “Are you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate. “Yes, it is as you say,” Jesus replied. The chief priests accused him of many things. So again Pilate asked him, “Aren’t you going to answer? See how many things they are accusing you of.” But Jesus still made no reply, and Pilate was amazed. Now it was the custom at the Feast to release a prisoner whom the people requested. A man called Barabbas was in prison with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the uprising. The crowd came up and asked Pilate to do for them what he usually did. “Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, knowing it was out of envy that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead. “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them. “Crucify him!” they shouted. “Why? What crime

has he committed?” asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!” Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged and handed him over to be crucified. The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

The Crucifixion A certain man from Cyrene, Simon, the father of Alexander and Rufus, was passing by on his way in from the country, and they forced him to carry the cross. They brought Jesus to the place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull). Then they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take Continued on pg. 14

it. And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get. It was the third hour when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS. They crucified two robbers with him, one on his right and one on his left. Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads and saying, “So! You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, come down from the cross and save yourself!” In the same way the chief priests and the teachers of the law mocked him among themselves. “He saved others,” they said, “but he can’t save himself! Let this Christ, this King of Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.” Those crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

At the sixth hour darkness came over the whole land until the ninth hour. And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”— which means, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” When some of those standing near heard this, they said, “Listen, he’s calling Elijah.” One man ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a stick, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said. With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last. The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!” Some women were watching from a distance. Among them were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the younger and of Joses, and Salome. In Galilee these women had followed him and cared for his needs. Many other women who had come up with him to Jerusalem were also there.

The Burial of Jesus It was Preparation Day (that is, the day before the Sabbath). So as evening approached, Joseph of Arimathea, a prominent member of the Council, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God, went boldly to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Pilate was surprised to hear that he was already dead. Summoning the centurion, he asked him if Jesus had already died. When he learned from the centurion that it was so, he gave the body to Joseph. So Joseph bought some linen cloth, took down the body, wrapped it in the linen, and placed it in a tomb cut out of rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. Continued on pg. 15

The holy days of Easter About one-third of the planet, or roughly 2.1 billion people, are Christians. Each spring, this large population celebrates the religious miracle that is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Lenten season is one of the holiest times of year on the Christian calendar, beginning with Ash Wednesday and lasting through Easter Sunday. Many Christians celebrate Easter but may not know the significance or meaning behind certain days. Ash Wednesday – In the Roman Catholic Church, Ash Wednesday marks the first day of Lent, the season when one prepares for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Ash Wednesday always falls 46 days before Easter and will vary according to the calendar. During the mass, celebrants receive ashes in the form of a cross on their foreheads made from burning the blessed palm fronds from last year’s Palm Sunday mass. Palm Sunday – Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week when Christians attend mass and receive fronds of blessed palms, commemorating the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover. Holy Thursday – The Thursday preceding Easter Sunday marks Jesus Christ’s last supper with his disciples. His act of breaking bread and offering it as His “body” and sharing wine as His “blood” has become an integral part of the Christian mass, representing Christ giving His life in place of our sins. Good Friday – The day that Jesus had to march to his crucifixion site while carrying an extremely heavy wooden cross. Jesus was mocked, spit on, tortured, and forced to wear a crown of thorns during His journey after being arrested by Judas and then Continued on pg. 15

CELEBRATION CELEBR SER SE RVICES Continued from pg. 14

The Resurrection When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. Very early on the ďŹ rst day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?â€? But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed. “Don’t be alarmed,â€? he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was cruciďŹ ed. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’â€? Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and ed from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. When Jesus rose early on the ďŹ rst day of the week, he appeared ďŹ rst to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven

seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and who were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. Afterward Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking in the country. These returned and reported it to the rest; but they did not believe them either. Later Jesus appeared to the Eleven as they were eating; he rebuked them for their lack of faith and their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him after he had risen. He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.â€? After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and conďŹ rmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.

Support the one potato fund The Very Thought of You is available at Munro’s Books, Lyle’s Place, Larson Music and ianmcdougall.com or at the official CD launch tonight (April 4) from 7:30 p.m. at the University Club’s Fireside Lounge at UVic.

Jazz legend founds emergency fund for students Ian McDougall’s latest recording to benefit those in fine arts Natalie North News staff

Ian McDougall cranks the volume on his home stereo and lets a smile overwhelm him. His new recording of the Charlie Chaplin original, Smile, plays. “I like it loud,” says the 73-year-old jazz trombonist. Arms outstretched, McDougall pauses, then as if to point at the notes filling his living room, cries out in appreciation of Rick Wilkins’ arrangement on the track. “Listen to the strings,” McDougall says of the recording which happens to be much slower – and more emotional – than most expect from the ballad. The way Chaplin intended, he says. But the iconic jazz musician, Juno Award winner, University of Victoria professor emeritus and Order of Canada recipient stops himself short of embarking on a conversation about sentiment. The story behind his latest disc, The Very Thought of You, featuring Smile and 13 other classic ballads performed by an all-star ensem-

wife Barb, a four-piece rhythm section, 20 strings and an oboe. Barb, a violinist, produced and mixed the recording. The oldest of the ballads – which McDougall insists aren’t jazz – is a 1926 George Gershwin tune. The newest: Henry Mancini’s Moon River from ’61. McDougall’s epic career began in late night downtown Victoria, where he “learned on the job,” he says, as young as 12 years old. “Instead of playing in the school band, I was playing in the clubs with a bunch of boozers,” he adds. He went on to play on somewhere in the neighbourhood of 40 LPs and CDs over his 63-year-career and accompany the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and Gladys Knight. McDougall continues to perform with his band, the Ian McDougall 12tet. “Musicians never stop working if they care about music,” McDougall says, adding that continuing to play is also an excuse not to drink cheap wine. Should CD sales take off, Ten Mile has plans to extend the fund to fine arts students across the country. “I’m very happy to the supporters and that they’re happy giving to this fund. What more can you ask for?” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Chantal Kreviazuk and James Ehnes headline Victoria symphony season A blockbuster line-up is ahead for the Victoria Symphony. Beginning her tenth season as Music Director of the Victoria Symphony Maestra Tania Miller unveiled the schedule for the symphony’s 72nd season which includes singer songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk and Grammy Award winning violinist James Ehnes. For the first time in its history the Victoria Symphony will perform Bartok’s Miraculous Mandarin and Nielsen’s Symphony No. 5. The VS Pops Series will feature Cirque de la Symphonie, The Beatles: Sergeant Pepper, and in tribute to the retirement of Principal Pops Conductor Brian Jackson, The Best of Brian Jackson. Leading off the announcements, Miller said it was hard to believe the new season would be her 10th as music director. When she joined the symphony in 2003, she was not only the youngest music director of a major orchestra in Canada at age 33, but she was also the only female music director. Her contributions to the Victoria Symphony have included innovative programming, significant orchestra changes and increased music education programs. The Concert for Kids Series will begin with The Snowman on Nov. 18. The film version of the story will be shown with live musical accompaniment by the orchestra. The New Music Festival in November will celebrate 100 years of one of the most iconic and revolutionary figures in musical history – John Cage. Subscription packages and season brochures are available through the Victoria Symphony box office at 250-385-6515. llavin@vicnews.com

Six months pregnant, Erinne Willock has put the racing bike away in favour of cruising the Galloping Goose. Granted, the pro-cyclist and 2008 Olympian still knows a thing or two about her sport and she’s eager to share. This Friday (April 6) Willock will join several world-class cyclists lending their knowledge at the School Bike League’s inaugural Bike Jam. “The school bike league is what got me on my bike and started my career,” Willock said.

Olympian road cyclist Erinne Willock and mountain bike national team coach Geoff Pendrel will be coaching kids at Bike Jam on Friday (April 6). kids competing. When she found herself with time to spare this winter, she offered to help out with the bike league. The day-long festival is a free event for middle and high school students in Greater Victoria. It also serves as the spring season

kickoff for the newly rebranded School Bike League. The Bike Jam runs 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the lower park of Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, using the Velodrome and BMX track, among the other natural features available. “It’s the best place we could imagine,”

said School Bike League co-organizer Lara McCulloch. “We’re running dual slalom tracks down the slope, and we’ll have access to track bikes on the Velodrome and BMX bikes on the BMX track.” Willock’s road racing clinic is one of seven half-hour stations that kids will move through at Bike Jam. “We’ll do drills and skills, maybe a few little relay races,” Willock said. “It’s informative and also fun, and good for all skill levels.” Each station will be led by experts: the Victoria BMX Association, the Greater Victoria Velodrome Association, single-speed cyclocross world champion Drew McKenzie, national mountain-biking coach Geoff Pendrel and elite downhill mountain biker Scott Mitchell. Perhaps the most fun element is the Camp of Champions Air Bag. Kids can jump their bike in the air and land on the bag. At 3:30 p.m., pro dirt jumpers Jarrett Moore (Oak Bay) and Sam Dueck (Vancouver) will put on an exhibition using the bag. “In the 1990s, there was 400 kids in the bike league but, last year, there was maybe 40 kids,” said McCulloch, who’s on the organizing team with Kate Beardmore, Lister Farrar, Eric Simonson, Bruce Tonkin and Tony Wakelin. “We’re doing this huge promotion because the word wasn’t getting out. We saw that the bike league needed exposure.” Registration is free at schoolbikeleague. ca or prior to the event’s 10 a.m. start. sports@vicnews.com

Saanich Storm win Leversedge

Bays drop Jackson as brothers up rivalry Tyler Hughes wins battle of the brothers over Jordie in VISL cup final Travis Paterson News staff

A late surge by Cowichan FC dusted the hopes of Victoria’s Bays United in the 2012 Jackson Cup at Royal Athletic Park on Sunday afternoon. The Bays took an early 1-0 lead on a goal by Dan Cumming (7th minute) and held it until brothers Chris and Matt Arnett scored in the 65th and 72nd minute, respectively, to win it 2-1 for Cowichan. It’s the second straight year Cowichan won the historic Jackson Cup trophy as Vancouver Island Soccer League champions, beating upstart Juan de Fuca last year. Sunday was especially bitter for Bays midfielder Jordie Hughes, whose brother Tyler is the anchor on Cowichan’s back line. “We talked about it going into this game – that one of us was going to have one more (Jackson Cup) than the other,” Jordie said. “It’s always been competitive, going back to when we were kids.” Big brother Tyler, 31, now has two

Jackson titles, while Jordie, 27, is stuck at one, which he won with Gorge FC over Cowichan in 2010. The two Spectrum community school grads are best known for playing together on the Victoria Highlanders, but on Sunday they were pitted against each other. With less than three minutes to go in regulation, the Bays were one step short of hitting the desperate button when Jordie challenged Tyler in a one-on-one. Jordie beat Tyler to the outside and would’ve had an opportunity to make a dangerous crossing pass until Tyler tripped him. By doing so, Tyler surrendered a free kick just outside the 18 yard box along the goal line. It was the second time Tyler had fouled Jordie in a game this season. “(Tyler) got a yellow card earlier this season for pushing me,” Jordie said. “He said he would have pushed me harder if he knew he was going to get carded.” This foul, however, could have become a legendary highlight in the Hughes’ soccer history. Luckily for Tyler, it didn’t. On the ensuing free kick Jordie chipped a lobbing cross into the six yard box, where all 11 Bays were pressing for the tying goal. Cowichan cleared it, then survived a header from Jordie that just missed, and a volley by Peter

Construction delayed on Craigflower bridge Work pushed back to 2013 to ease environmental, archaeological permits Kyle Slavin News staff

Plans to build the new Craigflower Bridge have been put on hold until next year, after municipal engineers couldn’t achieve everything required in the tight timeframe they had. Jim Hemstock, Saanich’s manager of transportation, said the initial plan to begin construction on June 1 was aggressive. Now it’s considered unachievable. “There are environmental and archaeological processes (still outstanding) that are long and complicated,” he said. Last week, staff decided the project would be delayed by either six months or one year. “We’re still considering the pros and cons of summer and winter building,” Hemstock said. “We know that the two big drivers that effect the public would be Christmas shopping and getting kids to school.”

From the engineering side of things, however, the delays are more complicated. Saanich and View Royal share responsibility for the bridge. Both municipalities need to ensure construction doesn’t impact the salmon or herons that call the Gorge Waterway home. Archaeologically, two different permits are required to build on the sensitive lands near the historic Craigflower schoolhouse on the Saanich side, a former native burial ground. “We don’t have the permits. … Putting (the project out for tenders) now, not knowing if you can proceed is not a fiscally responsible things to do,” Mayor Frank Leonard said. “Uncertainty usually leads to higher prices. … It’s better we spend taxpayers’ money wisely and do it a bit later, than rush to get it done.” An announcement on whether bridge construction will begin in January 2013 or July 2013 isn’t expected to be made until August. The $10.7-million Craigflower Bridge reconstruction project is funded mostly by federal gas tax money. The existing narrow, two-lane bridge is 79 year old. It’s slated to be replaced by a three-lane bridge, complete with bike lanes and wide sidewalks. kslavin@saanichnews.com
