Vancouver, chocolate good combo Navy, Rogers’ team up for fundraising chocolate bar The Royal Canadian Navy has a sweet side. During a ceremony held today (Friday) on the deck of HMCS Vancouver, Rogers’ Chocolates Ltd. CEO Larry Sullivan and Rear Admiral Nigel Greenwood, commander of the navy’s Maritime Forces Pacific, unveiled a chocolate bar wrapped in the image of a Halifaxclass naval frigate. It’s not the first time the chocolate company has teamed up with the navy. To mark the Royal Canadian Navy’s centennial in 2010, a commemorative tin, depicting HMCS Rainbow, was launched. Similar to the tin project, partial proceeds from sales of the uniquely wrapped chocolate bars will go to CFB Esquimalt’s personnel support program. Bars are available at Rogers’ Chocolates, 913 Government St. emccracken@vicnews.com

The truth is in the telling Today in Part 2 of our series on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, noted Songhees Nation carver Butch Dick offers his opinion on the value of this weekend’s hearings and his experiences with residential school. Story Page 3; Our View, page 10.

Legions want in on tax relief City reviewing the way it handles property tax exemptions for groups Roszan Holmen News staff

To the uninitiated, the Royal Canadian Legion is often seen as a club for veterans offering a members-only pub. The categorization misses the bigger picture of the Legion’s social service mandate and the misperception could be costing the charity buckets, according to David Sinclair, chair of the Legion Foundation for B.C. and the Yukon. “There has been some argument from time

to time, ‘well you’re a bar,’ … but I think that’s an argument that’s ludicrous,” he said. “I don’t see any other bars in town giving money to charity or volunteer hours of work that we do.” Sinclair has been speaking to B.C. mayors, including in Victoria and Vancouver, to convince them that Legions deserve exemptions from property taxes like other non-profit organizations. In Greater Victoria, Legions receive a full property tax break in Esquimalt and Langford and a partial tax break in Sooke. Victoria is the only municipality that charges full property tax. Exemptions are “hit and miss,” Sinclair said. “It’s all depended upon the way the various municipalities and councils across the

province view us.” While some see Legion branches as private clubs, he argues otherwise. He is backed by a recent ruling by B.C. Assessment which deemed them to be legitimate charities. Legion membership is open to anyone, Sinclair said, and the aim is community service. In B.C., Legions operate 4,700 housing units for seniors. In a year, they donate $4 million to charities, $400,000 to medical research and contribute 800,000 hours of volunteer work, Sinclair said. Legions keep for themselves hall rental and bar revenue, which generate “barely enough to pay staff and taxes.” PLEASE SEE: Tough economic times, Page A6

Catholic traditions, stick with him. “One thing I do remember is praying a lot.” He also remembers being comforted in the evening, hearing the nuns singing. After two years on Kuper Island, he was sent back Victoria to attend day school. “I was deemed a runaway (at Kuper),” he recalls. “I didn’t run away. I would just hide, and my oldest Photo contributed by Sisters of St. Ann Archives, P0969 brother, who is passed Kuper Island Indian Residential School building, 1915. away now, would have to go and look for me.

As the Truth and Reconciliation Commission begins gathering statements from former students of residential schools, Songhees band member Butch Dick will stand beside any family member who chooses to tell their story. He won’t, however, tell his own. “I’ve never brought it to my family because I feel I will just carry it on to another generation,” Dick says. “My children don’t need to know. They know that I went there, but they don’t need to know all the stories because they don’t need to carry that.” Dick has not registered to speak, but has played a supporting role as a local planning committee member to the commission’s Victoria hearings, happening today (April 13) and tomorrow at the Victoria Conference Centre. “This is happening in our home territory, and culturally we are bound to act as hosts,” he says. “If we stood back and let it happen without becoming involved then it would be wrong.” His participation, however, doesn’t mean he’s fully bought in to the Commission’s work. “Why are they spending millions and millions on this Truth and Reconciliation?” Dick asks. “To make churches feel good? To make the general public aware? Or to actually help the people who have been through all this? It’s very unclear.” He predicts only a handful of Songhees people will attend the conference, and fewer will speak. Most don’t want to be involved, he says. “They choose not to go back and revisit. It opens new wounds and sorrows and regret.” Dick’s own memories of residential school are fuzzy, and they’re memories he doesn’t want to uncover. He remembers some things, however, including being taken by the RCMP with his siblings when he was about seven. “I remember being put on a train and put on a boat. We didn’t know where we were going, because we never travelled.” They were brought to Kuper Island residential school, located on a Gulf Island a short ferry ride from Chemainus. “We used to refer to it as ‘the rock,’ because it’s on an island, so once you got there you couldn’t get off,” he says. Dick recalls no academic lessons, but the regimented routines surrounding dormitory living, haircuts and clothes, and

Think about your earliest memories of elementary school, the deliciousness of new friends, naptime or falling in something like love with a kindergarten teacher. Think about your parents praising your crayon art or the shape of your letters that printed your name. Now imagine this: five- and six-year-old Mark Kiemele brothers walking Special to the News home hand-inhand from a day playing in the forest. They hear strange moaning noises coming from their neighbours’ houses. They find out later the sound comes from parents crying because priests and police had taken their children to residential school. The next day, the brothers are taken, too. Or imagine this: students lined up, those with curly hair in one line, the straight-haired ones in another. Jokes are made of the straight-haired ones, the beginning of divide-and-conquer techniques that would continue over the school years. Modern schoolyard bullying looks tame in comparison. Or perhaps you can imagine a priest throwing jelly-covered pieces of bread on the ground and laughing as children run and struggle for the only sweetened thing they would taste that day or week. Maybe, in your darkest moments, you can imagine a child having a hatpin driven through her tongue for having the audacity to speak the only language she knows. That language is not English. Or, even worse, perhaps you can imagine adults sexually abusing children in their care, night after night, picking victims as they lay in their beds thinking about their parents and the place that was once home. Those parents, living some sort of half-life in their childless villages, felt deep sadness and heavy guilt, blaming themselves for allowing their children to be taken away. This is not some ancient history or a story from some far-off third world country. This is modern Canadian history and the people telling it are the peers of us baby boomers.

Citizens, police honoured Youngster among those receiving kudos for bravery Erin McCracken News staff

At just 10 years old, Elijah Ransome wore neither a uniform nor carried a badge as he sat amongst dozens of veteran Victoria, Saanich and RCMP police officers. Nonetheless, he was hailed as a hero by those who regularly risk their lives in the service of others. Elijah was presented with a citizen’s commendation by Victoria police Chief Constable Jamie Graham on Wednesday in Esquimalt during the Victoria Police Department’s third annual Honours Ceremony. Six commendations were presented to 37 Victoria and RCMP officers. Vic West resident Phaedra Matus was also honoured for stopping a suicidal woman from jumping off the Bay Street Bridge Dec. 7, 2011. Four days after that incident, Elijah, then nine, lay in his bed waiting for his mom, Janice Jensen, to turn off his bedroom light. It was their usual nightly routine, but she did not come. And when he called for her, there was no answer. Elijah went looking for her. In the last room he checked, he found his mother laying on the bathroom floor. “I thought she was hurt at first, but she didn’t have any cuts. I tried to help her up, but she kept on falling,” he said. As his mom lay moaning on the floor, loosely grasping the

She was slipping into unconsciousness,” the Grade 4 South Park elementary student said, not knowing then that his mother was having a seizure. “It’s kind of scary to see your mom in that state.” Elijah raced to a neighbour’s for help. Ambulance, police and fire were called. In going for help, he saw to his mother’s well-being, as well as the safety of his four-year-old brother Cole, still sound asleep inside the family home. Jensen, having grown up witnessing her own mother suffer epileptic seizures, was

impressed by her son’s maturity and quick thinking. “Even if you do know what it is, it’s scary when you’re a little kid,” she said. “(This was) a pretty big thing for a guy who was nine.” Members of the police department’s honours committee were equally impressed with Elijah’s initiative and bravery. “His actions are a reflection of his commitment and love for his family, and serve as an example of excellence to the community,” said Mark MacIntyre, VicPD’s public affairs director, who emceed the event. Elijah disagreed. “I did what any other person would do,” he said, smiling shyly. emccracken@vicnews.com

Police nab wanted fugitive after two months A violent offender who walked away from a Victoria halfway house in late January is behind bars. When he left the halfway house, Guy Gene Tomoff, 50, was in the middle of serving his third federal sentence for a 2009 robbery at a Nanaimo bar, during which he tied up a woman and stole cash and alcohol. Last Thursday (April 5) at

around 11 p.m., a Victoria police canine unit officer connected a series of dots that led to an Esquimalt apartment suite. That was where Tomoff was staying with an “associate,” said VicPD spokesperson Const. Mike Russell. Officers were investigating an abandoned vehicle in the parking lot of 531 West Bay Terr. The vehicle led to the apart-

ment in which police say Tomoff had been staying for a day or two, Russell said. Tomoff was arrested without incident and is now at the Vancouver Island Regional Correction Centre waiting for his case to go before the Parole Board of Canada. The process could take about two months, Russell said. emccracken@vicnews.com

Tough economic times make exemptions difficult: mayor Continued from Page A1

Sinclair hopes to win exemptions for two legions in Victoria: the Pro Patria branch at 411 Gorge Rd. E. and the Britannia branch at 780 Summit Ave. Together they have 1,890 members. If granted, the tax exemptions could save the Legions from possible closure. At the same time, however, the exemptions would end up costing taxpayers more money at a time when the city is keen to save wherever it can. It’s a perspective city council is sure to weigh heavily when Sinclair makes his pitch later this month. The City of Victoria is in the middle of reviewing its permissive property tax exemption policies. In January, it hired a consultant to study the issue and make recommendations. The goal, according to the request for proposals, is to determine whether the city could give tax breaks, and if so, establish a cap on exemptions and a time frame for granting them. The consultant will also recommend eligibility criteria to city council. It’s a debate some special interest groups in Victoria will be watching closely. In the past, the Victoria Secu-

lar Humanist Association has called for an end to tax exemptions for places of worship. While places of worship are granted mandatory property-tax exemptions by provincial charter, municipalities can choose whether to also exempt associated structures, such as church halls and grounds. Victoria does grant these exemptions voluntarily. More recently, other residents have complained about tax breaks given to private schools. Mayor Dean Fortin said the

“In my mind I want to see about bringing the Legion in …recognizing there is a cost.” – Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin request from the Legion needs to be taken seriously. “In my mind, I want to see about our capacity to bring the Legion in … recognizing there is a cost,” he said. “Is there a way for everyone (else receiving the exemption) to give up a little to bring them in?” rholmen@vicnews.com

Property tax exemptions in Victoria In 2010 the city granted $2.3 million worth of property tax exemptions to 118 recipients. They include non-profits, affordable rental housing and residential conversions of downtown heritage buildings. The biggest exemptions granted were as follows: • $158,742 Wilson Dalby/Mc and Mc Building • $157,029 McPherson Playhouse Foundation • $97,354 YM/YWCA of Greater Victoria • $71,599 Victoria Conservatory of Music • $66,856 Anglican Synod of the Diocese of B.C. • $64,693 Leiser Building • $62,887 Prior Building

Experiences leave harsh legacies Continued from Page A3

Most of us are comfortable in our own childhood memories. The residential school near my town of Chemainus was closed in 1976 on what was then called

Kuper Island. The Penelakut people made sure that hulking physical burden on their memories was destroyed. But they, and other First Nations people from throughout B.C. who had attended the

school, which opened in 1890, could not destroy a lifetime of negative thoughts and emotions. Some will make a start at Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission event in Victoria.

Jacques Marc, explorations director of the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia. Enterprise isn’t far away. “So far it’s eluded us and I don’t quite know why,” Marc said. Disruption of the site by log booms and deterioration are two possible explanations for why the wreck has yet to be located. Adding to the difficulty, the engines were salvaged, so crews are no longer able to search for some of the bigger objects, including using modern methods, such as sonar, explained Marc. “What we’re looking for is a scattering of small artefacts in a pretty big bay.” The Enterprise is one of about 200 large vessel shipwrecks – both located sites and those which continue to elude local explorers – off the coast of Vancouver Island. On April 25, Marc will take part in the Maritime Museum of B.C.’s What Lies Beneath lecture series. The veteran diver will present an overview of

local shipwrecks and the modern technologies used to locate them during Discovering the Underwater Heritage of British Columbia at the museum, located in Bastion Square. Tickets are available at the door for the 6:30 p.m. talk, which costs $12 (or $10 for seniors and students). The event is free for museum members and children under 12. nnorth@saanichnews.com

In the afternoon of July 28, 1885, the Enterprise, a sidewheel paddle steamer carrying freight, livestock and passengers from New Westminster to Victoria, collided with another steamboat near Ten Mile Point. Passengers and crew on Enterprise panicked and jumped overboard to save themselves when the vessel’s lifeboats weren’t deployed. The two people who died were believed to have locked themselves in a cabin to save the large sums of money they held. A third steamer towed Enterprise into Cadboro Bay, where it was visible in shallow waters until the early 1900s. Jacques Marc, explorations director of the Underwater Archaeological Society of British Columbia, began piecing together the tale of the ship in 1987. Its existence is well-documented in historical records, but the wreck itself is yet to be found. “The Enterprise is a mystery,” said Marc, noting the society’s ongoing efforts to locate the wreck over the years. “I’ve gone out and dug holes in Cadboro Bay. … We’ve searched for it numerous times and side scanned and found nothing – but it’s there. We’ve got pictures of it sitting about 100 yards off shore.” In two searches, items were found but they were determined to be remnants of wharfs. Yet the existence of coal, the boat’s fuel source, scattered near the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, suggest the

Sidney Scammell, a boy working part-time delivering fresh produce to the Titanic, takes leave of the ship before it departs for New York on its fateful voyage in April 1912.

One hundred years ago Sunday (April 15) the purportedly unsinkable ocean liner Titanic sunk after striking an iceberg 600 kilometres off the coast of Newfoundland, en route to New York. More than 1,500 passengers and crew died. Sidney Scammell, then 14, was working part-time as a fruiterer, delivering fresh produce to the Titanic in Southampton, England before it left. Scammell family history says Sidney, father of Victoria resident Jim Scammell, was in the hold counting boxes of bananas when it was announced, “All ashore that’s going ashore.” Sidney

Medal presentation, special tea to fête Canada’s queen Monarchist League’s Victoria branch plans party Enjoy an extra special tea time with other fans of everything royal in honour of Queen Elizabeth’s 86th birthday and her 60 years on the throne. The Victoria Branch of the Monarchist League of Canada will host its sixth annual Queen’s Birthday Tea, this time with a Diamond Jubilee theme, on April 22. “At age 86, Queen Elizabeth II is the hardest- and (one of the) longest-working sovereign(s) in history, personifying the words ‘duty and wisdom,’” branch chair Colleen Mills said in a statement. Lt.-Gov. Steven Point will attend the gathering at the Embassy Inn restaurant, and present a branch member with the coveted Diamond Jubilee medal, one of six branch members to receive the special honour this year. “No one is more enthusiastic (than Point) in explaining what the Diamond Jubilee of Canada’s queen means to Canadians, a message the Monarchist League has supported since 1970,” Mills said. Tickets for the tea, which begins at 2:30 p.m., must be reserved by April 18 by calling 250-6560853. The cost is $18 per person for branch members and their guests, $20 for members of the public. The league will celebrate the queen’s Diamond Jubilee until the 60th anniversary of her coronation in June 2013. emccracken@vicnews.com

More space required at UVic to accommodate buses Natalie North News staff

Nearly one quarter of all buses on the road between 8 and 9 a.m. in Greater Victoria are en route to or from the University of Victoria, yet some students are continually passed up by full buses. It’s a problem B.C. Transit and UVic hope to resolve with the creation of a new bus exchange. B.C. Transit and the union representing bus drivers, Canadian Auto Workers Local 333, disagree on the number of passengers left behind. The union reports 29,296 “pass-ups” between Sept. 1 and Jan. 31, primarily on UVic and Camosun-bound routes, while B.C. Transit says a worst-case scenario would be closer to 20,000 passengers left behind during the same period. Either way, UVic and B.C. Transit are planning to increase the number of buses headed to campus during peak morning hours – a goal that can only be achieved by expanding the number of bus bays at the university. Currently, UVic can accommodate 51 buses headed to campus during the Monday to Friday Victoria Harbour

“When they plan for new routes or additional buses to come to campus, we’ve indicated we’ll make the space available.” - Neill Connelly peak time between 8 and 9 a.m. The Finnerty Road bus exchange is at capacity, able to accommodate 14 buses. An area adjacent to the Student Union Building has provided temporary stops for three additional buses and UVic has identified a second temporary exchange area along Ring Road suitable for two more stops, should service from B.C. Transit increase. “We’re waiting to hear from B.C. Transit on their need for that space and how it relates to their planning for service this coming year and beyond,” said Neill Connelly, director of campus planning and sustainability. B.C. Transit expects UVic will need 30 bus bays to accommodate long-term growth. In keeping with its future plan, B.C. Transit hopes to see ridership to the school double by 2035. UVic has identified four areas

between Centennial Stadium and the Student Union Building as potential sites for a larger exchange, including an expansion of the current site. A budget and timeframe for the new exchange project have yet to be set. “We have space. They’re the service provider,” Connelly said. “When they plan for new routes or additional buses to come to campus, we’ve indicated we’ll make the space available. There are no limitations in terms of that additional service coming to campus.” Student society representatives from UVic and Camosun College have been working with CAW 333 to increase transit funding. The student groups applauded B.C. Transit’s restoration of 7,000 service hours on routes across the region this month. “We’re excited that students are leading the charge,” said Meribeth Burton, B.C. Transit spokesperson. Discussion at UVic around staggering the start of morning classes to ease the influx of students arriving at 8:30 a.m. has also begun. nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

There is a cost to restoring dignity It’s sure to be a solemn time for many of those people taking part in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission today and tomorrow in Victoria. The trauma inflicted by the 150-year legacy of Indian residential schools has shaped Canadian society as we know it. First Nations continue to have an uneasy relationship with the country they are born into. That won’t change after this weekend, or even once the commission finishes hearing from the 150,000 or so people expected to tell their stories across the country. We might ask if it’s worth the pain to reopen old wounds and whether we’d all be better off by simply forgetting what happened. In the 21st century it seems beyond the pale for people to treat each other the way earlier generations did. We are a society that prides itself on our tolerance, but the fact is, we are not that far removed from our past. The idea of forcing hegemony was a popular notion among many Canadians throughout our history. Almost every ethnic group that was somehow alien to the mainstream has stories of attempted assimilation. In almost every case the process was a profound failure. But it is the residential schools – their thoroughness and persistence – that has left the largest legacy of damage to a population that really should be at the core of who we are as a nation. We can argue that many First Nations children benefited by the educational opportunities that our government and churches provided. They were given a chance at an industrial quality of life that their culture often eschewed. As many as 3,000 people are expected to add their voices to the commission at the Victoria Conference Centre. Some will recall the kindness of teachers and others who really believed they were doing what was best for the children in their care. Others will reveal a depth of evil that provokes emotions that should be harder to stir from events that happened so long ago. It’s time for Canadians to open ourselves to doing what will correct past mistakes. We need to celebrate cultures authorities once tried to destroy. And we must be willing to put our money where our mouth is, whether that’s in treaty negotiations or respecting the rights of First Nations to have a stronger say on how their traditional lands are used.

A luxury cruise ship’s recreation of the Titanic’s intended voyage, complete with staff donning period costumes and menus featuring original Titanic fare, has also made headlines. I understand our obsession with the tragedy and why Cameron has parlayed his role as a director into that of an underwater explorer. (Last month Cameron tweeted from a submersible at the Earth’s deepest point, the bottom of Mariana Trench.) But you don’t need to plunge 11 kilometres below the surface to make your own discoveries. For anyone whose idea of underwater exploration is limited to visiting the Royal B.C. Museum’s former narrated elevator submarine experience as a child (R.I.P.

The damage and deprivation to marine and terrestrial wildlife from catastrophic oil spills have already been extensive. For example, the effects of the Exxon Valdez disaster 23 years ago on wildlife populations in Alaska’s Prince William Sound have been widespread and long lasting. Although no oiled carcasses were recovered, two different populations of killer whales, both in Prince William Sound at the time of the spill, experienced dramatic declines. The fish-eating AB resident pod of killer whales lost 14 of 36 members following the spill. A second population, the AT1 mammal-eating transients, was seen surfacing in the oil near the Exxon Valdez. Since then, the group has not successfully reproduced. Most likely, this unique killer whale population will go extinct. Transforming the B.C. coast into an “energy corridor” poses multiple threats to cetacean populations, through prospective spills to underwater noise to the ship strikes associated with the

transport of oil and condensate. Humpback whale recovery could be put in jeopardy with the approval of Northern Gateway; humpbacks can often be found bubble-net feeding at the entrance of the proposed Douglas Channel tanker route. B.C.’s threatened population of northern resident killer whales, and the slowly increasing population of endangered fin whales, would also be put directly in harm’s way if Northern Gateway proceeds. Whales on the south coast will also be put at risk if the Trans Mountain expansion moves ahead. One example of this risk is the overlay of the tanker route onto large sections of the critical habitat for the endangered southern resident killer whales that reside in the transnational waters of B.C. and Washington state. This population faces ongoing multiple threats, including declining salmon stocks, physical and acoustic disturbance, and toxic contamination.

The southern residents are a small population hindered by previous loss of individuals that make them vulnerable to chance circumstances. Dropping birth rates, increasing death rates or random events like disease, food shortages or oil spills can be irreversible. Increased tanker activity could also potentially affect a geographically distinct crossborder population of grey whales termed the Eastern North Pacific Southern Group, which are currently listed under Canada’s Species at Risk Act. Why is there little concern about the pain, fear, suffering and even death that wildlife will endure if the Northern Gateway and Trans Mountain pipelines projects are approved? The short answer is that industrial society places a higher priority on economic growth than on environmental health and the welfare of other species. Chris Genovali is executive director of Raincoast Conservation Foundation.

LETTERS Believing in theory of evolution requires faith Re: Religious right’s rejection of science is baffling (Opinion, March 30) Dr. Suzuki mentions a law in Tennessee allowing teachers to critically examine the theory of evolution. This he considers “anti-science.” I suppose I am a member of the religious right, since I have examined the theory of evolution and rejected it. But I am not anti-science. In fact, I looked to science when examining the question. Many people accept the theory of evolution as a scientific explanation of the origin of life and species. But by definition, science is the study of that which can be demonstrated by experiment – that which is measurable, observable, provable, repeatable. There can, therefore, be no scientific statement concerning origins. Origins happen once only. The question of origins is necessarily outside science and gets into the realm of – dare I say it – religion, or faith. Of course there is a place for science, for both evolutionists and creationists. But science cannot speak to origins. At best it produces evidences or counterevidences. To believe that life originated by time and chance is a matter of faith, not science. And to believe that fish turned into birds and monkeys and men, despite the lack of evidence, takes faith. Others put faith in an intelligent creator who designed

and sustains life and made each species in its own kind. The bible says “through faith we understand that the world was ordained by the word of God, and that things which are seen were made of things which are not seen.” It is a question of faith. If what I say is true, then evolutionary theory should not be touted as science. Furthermore, people who reject it are not rejecting science. Let’s not condemn creationists as “irrational” or “anti-science.” The Tennessee schoolchildren are fortunate to be able to study evidence advanced by both sides. Ruth Magnusson Victoria

Wallace Drive conditions dangerous for travellers I feel compelled to bring to your attention the increasingly dangerous driving conditions on Wallace Drive between Willis Point Road (Saanich) and Newton Place at Bayside middle school (Central Saanich). I have been driving and walking this stretch of road for 25 years, and the type and volume of traffic has changed significantly during this period. Where once it catered to primarily local vehicle traffic with the odd bicycle, pedestrian or tourist, there are now numerous cyclists riding two and three abreast, tourists in all sorts of vehicles including RV’s, tour buses, commercial vehicles and many more pedestrians. Besides dealing with cyclists riding in contravention of the Motor Vehicle Act, and

oversized vehicles too wide for the road conditions, more and more vehicle drivers who are inexperienced with the area are being directed by their navigation systems to use this stretch of road, particularly between Willis Point Road and Benvenuto Avenue, to access Butchart Gardens. Personally, I have avoided four head-on collisions on this stretch of road in the past two months, as drivers have pulled onto my side of the road to pass cyclists. Two of these incidents happened to me in one day and were separated by a matter of minutes. Fortunately, I have good brakes and tires on my cars that help me to slow down quickly, as there is no room on this road to perform an evasive manoeuvre. True, some vehicle drivers must be more cautious, but you know as well as I do that you cannot teach some people to change their poor driving habits until they have done or caused something disastrous. I respectfully implore both Saanich and Central Saanich councils to join together in improving this road with a better surface and bicycle/pedestrian lanes, and enforce both cycling and vehicle restrictions, including speed limits, before someone is injured or killed.

Rioters will face little punishment Re: Teams and fans seek redemption (Column, April 6)

It’s now just about one year since the Vancouver Stanley Cup riot took place and, lo and behold, all’s quiet on the Western front. After all, in contrast to the swift justice dealt those London rioters, here in B.C. we take things a little more slowly, secure in the knowledge that our own Stanley Cup rioters and looters will ultimately be dealt with by the firm hand of our justice system, meting out our very own unique action brand of Canadian justice. No doubt, Canada’s all-purpose Charter of Rights and Freedoms will come to the “rescue” of all those who, in response to being charged with criminal conduct during their post-playoff love-in, will argue that their Charter rights to free expression were violated. Surely, that’s the Canadian way, assuring that none of the looters and arsonists will see the inside of a jail cell, but instead will have to face the consequences of their actions. They’ll be subjected to the “full” force of Canada’s tough judicial system by being made to endure the indignity of house arrest and the severe punishment of conditionally suspended sentences. Indeed, can a class action suit against the City of Vancouver be far behind, on behalf of all rioters whose pictures were taken without their explicit “consent,” in clear violation of their Charter Rights to personal “privacy?” Their contrived public “mea culpas” notwithstanding, somehow the rioters will manage to emerge unscathed as the true

“victims” of Vancouver’s 2011 post-game riot, ready to go on a rampage again, seeking their own kind of “redemption.” E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen

Student column offers good advice Re: “There’s no quick fix for capital confusion” (Opinion, April 6) Thank you for Heather Snider’s guest column.

Finance series helps new Canadians Newcomers to Canada offered free financial literacy training Natalie North News staff

Making an international move to Canada is often overwhelming – something that a student entrepreneurship group hopes to ease. The University of Victoria branch of Students in Free Enterprise, a group comprised of 18 primarily business and economics stu-

dents, has been hosting a series of workshops aimed at imbuing newcomers to the region with a heightened sense of financial literacy. The group’s latest offering, held March 31 at the university, drew 50 people who had recently moved to Canada and focused on the basics of credit. The first talk in what is intended to be a four-part series covered the basics of filing taxes. “The first initiative is to help newcomers adjust to the environment in Canada,” said Keita Yao, who

originally hails from China. “Most of our group members are newcomers, so we want to help others (by sharing) the hardships we went through.” Like other SIFE members, Yao speaks several languages and can assist with translation. The team, along with two financial advisors from Royal Bank of Canada, are able to translate from Mandarin, Cantonese, French, Russian and German, if needed. Prior to the workshop, members were trained by RBC representatives, who were also available for an

“Most of our group members are newcomers, so we want to help others (by sharing) the hardships we went through.” – Keita Yao open question-and-answer period after the talk. While a date is not yet set, organizers plan to hold the next workshop midMay. Contact sife.uvic.newcomer@hotmail.com for more information. nnorth@saanichnews.com

as part of the 13th annual Oak Bay artists’ studio spring tour. “People are interested in how you work a kiln, how you work the wheel,” Madsen says about what visitors ask when they visit her studio, in an underground former garage in her Oak Bay home. Madsen, who has been working with clay since her late teens, explains to visitors that the kiln is a round oven with electric coils sandwiched between concrete-like bricks that heats to 1,200 C. Pots, mugs and any of the many items Madsen builds are stacked on shelves inside the kiln. The whole process, from first throwing the clay on the wheel to final glaze, takes about three to four weeks. One of the best parts of the process comes while manipulating the clay, Madsen says. “It’s the ability to lose yourself, to become thoughtful and think about things in the process of making” that keeps her intrigued, she says. “I don’t get up and say ‘Today I’m making a bowl.’ You put the clay on the wheel, feel

clay in your hands and think about who’s going to be using it and create from that.” Madsen learned to pot in Vancouver, where she grew up. Although she had a day job working in social services, since moving to Oak Bay seven years ago she’s been a full-time potter. She sells from her home and also in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.

“People are interested in how you work a kiln, how you work the wheel.” – Sandi Madsen Organized by Oak Bay Parks and Recreation, Oak Bay studio tours are held twice a year in the spring and fall. Twenty visual artists, printmakers, porcelain painters and potters are taking part in the spring tour, set for tomorrow and Sunday, (April 14 and 15) from noon to 4:30 p.m. To download a map of the tour along with artist bios go to recreation. oakbaybc.org and click on Events. vmoreau@ oakbaynews.com

Hotel delay sends guests to Empress News staff

The delayed opening of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel forced a change in venue for the 25th anniversary of the David Foster Foundation’s Miracle Weekend. The luxury waterfront hotel was set to hold its grand opening gala on May 25 in collaboration with the Miracle Weekend May 25 to 27, which supports the David Foster Foundation in providing financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. However, the event is now scheduled to take place at The Fairmont Empress. “It looks like we weren’t going to have the hotel quite 100-percent ready to go,” said Kevin Walker, owner of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. “So rather than opening the doors and not being at our very

best, we reverted to Plan B.” Besides the change in venue from the Oak Bay Beach Hotel to The Empress, details of the Miracle Weekend remain the same, Walker said, adding that guests will not notice any dramatic changes in the event. The Empress will host the event with the Oak Bay Beach Hotel team. Staff will be making a combined effort, Walker explained. “This is a cause that we really believe in … and we’re just thrilled to be able to expand the celebration into the downtown area,” he said. A star-studded concert happens May 26 at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre. The Miracle Weekend also launches the start of a 10-year collaboration between the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and the David Foster Foundation. Walker and his wife,

“This is a cause that we really believe in … and we’re just thrilled to be able to expand the celebration into the downtown area.” – Kevin Walker Shawna, have pledged to raise $2 million over the next 10 years for the foundation through proceeds from ticket sales at the David Foster Foundation Theatre, to be located in the new hotel.

The Oak Bay Beach Hotel is expected to be fully operational in July, Walker said. Staff should be in the hotel by late May or early June. Various Miracle Weekend packages are available. Some ticket buyers will also be offered a complimentary weekend at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel for future use.

Victorian-era revellers set to invade Empress Hotel Matt Whelan News contributor

Polish your brass-rimmed, leather-lined goggles, ready your steam-powered airships, and make a note of this on your teakpanelled iPad: the third annual Victoria Steam Exhibition arrives April 20. So what, in the name of Queen Victoria, is steampunk? “It’s early industrialism’s vision of itself in the future,” said event impresario Jordan Stratford. “The appeal of steampunk is its absurdity. There’s no way you could take all this stuff seriously.” The festival will offer a more contemporary breed of Victorian the opportunity to immerse themselves in this antediluvian subculture. A conglomeration of jewelers, tinkerers, milliners, artisans, anachronists, leather, metal and glass workers will be on hand for a celebration of steampunk art and culture. It’ll be an interactive affair, with about half of attendees milling around in top hats, lace corsets and doilied glove cuffs, while sporting jetpacks, ray guns and

other items of Jules Verne-inspired technology. On Friday night, an absinthe tasting will be held at Victoria’s esteemed Union Club, a building that dates back to times when today’s steampunk art works would have resembled the prototypical tools and technologies of the day. Local historian Chris Adams, who runs the popular Discover the Past Ghost Tours around Victoria, will be giving a lecture on the history, culture and appreciation of absinthe, while guests enjoy flights of the fabled spirit. A tour of the clubhouse’s grandiose 1884 architecture will follow. Over the weekend, carousers can emerge from their anise-induced hazes at the Empress Hotel while taking in talks, presentations and book signings by such steampunk somebodies as Ann Vandermeer, Jeff Vandermeer, Kristina Erickson and Robert Brown. Jeff Vandermeer wrote the book – quite literally – on steampunk (The Steampunk Bible: An Illustrated Guide to the World of Imaginary Airships, Corsets and Goggles, Mad Scientists, and Strange Literature,) while Erickson and Brown

ings, along with continuous panel discussions on costuming, history and prop making. This year’s featured guest is Victoria’s own Ian Finch Field, whose leather and metal work has been

featured in the steamwork-staple publication 1000 Steampunk Creations as well as the video for Justin Bieber’s Santa Claus Is Coming to Town music video. “Ian is a great example of a local boy done good,” said Stratford. Saturday night brings the boisterous brass-band antics of Bucan Bucan, the banjo-and-beat-boxbased blues of Tarran the Tailor and the caricatural titillations of Cherry Poppins to the Steampunk Cabaret Burlesque, also to be held at the Empress. Bene! Superlative! Top! How much? A $50 weekend pass will allow steampunk enthusiasts and newcomers alike access to all events at the Empress Hotel while an additional $50 will get you into the absinthe tasting and lecture at the Union Club on Friday night. About 400 zeppelin pilots, mad scientists, lushes and vaudevillians are expected to attend. “Steampunk exists to provoke, entertain, amuse and inspire,” said Stratford. “It’ll be a maelstrom, a hell of a lot of fun.” For tickets and information go to www.victoriasteamexpo.com.

Charla Huber News staff

Junior B hockey will return to Bear Mountain Arena next season with the expansion Westshore Wolves franchise. Team owners Ken Carson, Dave Horner, Kory Gronnestad and Derrick Hamilton are behind the effort to bring junior B back to the West Shore after the downtrodden Westshore Stingers disbanded from the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League in late 2010. Six players have been signed to the Wolves, five of whom reside on the West Shore. The owners agree that the point of starting this team is to get West Shore teenagers playing competative hockey at home. “That’s what we did,” Hamilton remarked. “All of us played for the Juan de Fuca Gulls.” “It was a gong show – back then it was called jungle B,” Horner joked. All four grew up playing Juan de Fuca minor hockey and both Horner and Hamilton went on to play for the Gulls. Hamilton remembers home games bringing the community together with the arena full of friends and family, something he hopes to see for the Wolves. It might be unrealistic, however, to expect full crowds at the Wolves giant new home, the 2,781 seat Bear Mountain Arena. But it’s a coup for the team nonetheless, sharing the city’s best rink with the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies. Home games will be Wednesday nights at 7 p.m., a friendlier time slot than the Stingers’ previous Monday night games, which didn’t start

Wolves in a bear cave When deciding on a team name, the group of West Shore businessmen were hoping to find something that started with a “W” and “Wolves” seemed a good fit. Initially the men thought of naming the team the Bruins, to pair with the Grizzlies theme, but figured it might not sit well with (local) Canucks fans, stemming from last year’s notorious Stanley Cup finals against Boston. “We didn’t want Canucks fans hating us,” Gronnestad said.

Victoria skaters keyed up for NHL Entry Draft Travis Paterson News staff

The NHL likes players who can score. That wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a problem for Victoria Royals rookie Logan Nelson this season. What took awhile for Logan to reveal, however, was the physical element in his game. That, and his consistent offence caught the NHLâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Central Scouting bureauâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s eye as Nelson jumped to 73rd overall from 108th among North American skaters eligible for the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. Nelson finished fifth in league scoring among rookies with 62 points in 71 games (23 goals, 39 assists). But it was his physical game that stood out, especially in the playoff series against the Kamloops Blazers. Nelson showed the natural timing necessary to throw a punishing but legal check. Things arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as rosy for teammate Steven Hodges, however, as he dropped from 55th to 85th. The draft rankings also listed six BCHL skaters. Fourth among them is Wade Murphy of Saanich, who split his season between the Victoria Grizzlies and Penticton Vees. Murphy scored the overtime winner on Tuesday

Road trip tips: The serious side of fun vehicles. RVs. More to love, more to protect. The equipment and contents of your motor home are not included in the declared value of the vehicle. Collision, Comprehensive, and Specified Perils coverage takes care of physical damage to the vehicle as well as contents (up to a certain limit). Additional optional coverage should include emergency vacation coverage, additional contents coverage and insurance on permanent s t r u c t u r e s related to your INSURANCE r e c r e a t i o n a l OUTLOOK vehicle.

Garage and storage doors are rolling open across the province as the warming weather brings out our seasonal vehicles, or motorbikes and RVs. But before you hit the road, you need to make sure your paperwork is in order and your recreational vehicles, loved ones and belongings are protected. Here are some tips on making sure you have fun with complete peaceof-mind.

Get coverage. RVs and motorbikes are not insured like regular passenger AUTO vehicles. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll INSURANCE need to determine WITH the worth and MARCI-LYN insure them BRAITHWAITE accordingly. For seasonal vehicles, the declared value becomes the policy limit and the premium is based on this value. Â It's important to reconsider the value every year: Â Is the vehicle worth more because of modifications, or worth less due to depreciation and additional wear and tear? Â Discuss this with a BCAA Insurance Advisor when you purchase or renew your policy. Get it right the first time. The right coverage is critical. A basic ICBC policy does not provide coverage for physical damage or higher limits of liability. You may want to consider purchasing Collision, and Comprehensive coverage to ensure that your seasonal vehicles have physical damage coverage. Â

Cover the map. While your RV or motorbike coverage is valid in Canada and the continental U.S., you need to arrange separate coverage if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re driving it to Mexico. Be sure to plan in advance. Cover your options. It's also advantageous to buy a policy that spans the whole year, so that at the end of the season, you don't need to buy special storage insurance for your RV or motorbike. Purchase adequate insurance and roadside assistance for your seasonal vehicle before you set off on your road trip. The insurance specialists at BCAA will give you peace-of-mind by ensuring you get the right coverage to suit your needs. Marci-Lyn Braithwaite is an Insurance Advisor at BCAA. She can be reached at marci-lyn.braithwaite@bcaa.com.

Blood donors in Greater Victoria know there’s a lot riding on their donation. And soon their blood will be riding on something else: the nightly 9 p.m. ferry to Tsawwassen. The Canadian Blood Services (CBS) clinic on Saanich Road is about to make blood donations even more valuable. However, doing so will mean the collection bags can no longer be shipped by plane. Later this year the clinic will switch to a new system that can better collect platelets, vital for helping cancer patients around the province. “This will have a dramatic impact on people’s lives,” said Catherine Sloot, partnership specialist with the blood service. Chemotherapy treatments can result in a loss of platelets, which help form clots or scabs on cut or broken skin. Donated blood is flown to Vancouver where it is broken down in a centrifuge into multiple products, including red blood cells, plasma-based components, and platelets. The latter separates into a layer known as the buffy coat. “Platelets only have a shelf life of five days. So the faster we can collect the (platelet-heavy) buffy coat … and get it to hospitals, the better,” Sloot said. The new system essentially refines how blood is stored, allowing the platelets a better chance of survival while being transported to Vancouver. But the changes have logistical implications. Instead of packing styrofoam coolers with icepacks and blood bags, and sending them across the water every evening on a chartered flight, CBS is investing in refrigerator trucks with elaborate cooling trays. They’ll drive onto the ferry. The only change donors will notice is the clinic’s operating hours, which are now one hour earlier. The clinic, located at 3449 Saanich Rd., is open 10:30 a.m. to 6:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, as well as on alternating Saturdays from 9:30 a.m. to 4:15 p.m. Mark Stefanson, vice-president of public affairs with B.C. Ferries, says the company will appreciate the steady business from CBS, especially on a sailing that isn’t typically busy. “We’re really, really pleased that Canadian Blood Services has chosen us as their mechanism of transport,” Stefanson said. He added that the 9 p.m. Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen ferry is rarely affected by cancellations. Sloot hopes the earlier hours will benefit the donors too, and allow businesses and schools, which donate en masse, to better accommodate donating into their schedule. “There is always a need for blood donors. There’s nowhere else to get it,” Sloot said. To register to donate or volunteer, call 1-888-2DONATE or visit blood.ca. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Spring Scooter Sale

Brittany Lee News staff

Spending a week in Mexico seems like the ideal spring break getaway. But helping others during the trip made it more worthwhile for a group of Oak Bay High students. In mid-March, 30 students from Oak Bay High School travelled to the rural agricultural town of Vicente Guerrero, Mexico to help build houses for two families in need. The trip was part of the Hero Holiday program, organized by the Live Different movement. The program allows high school students to participate in humanitarian efforts by providing practical assistance to people living in extreme poverty. Grade 12 students Cathleen Evans and Olivia Walton both went on the trip and said it was an amazing experience. “We throw around the word ‘life-changing’ a lot … but that’s honestly the best way to describe it,” Evans said. The group of students, ranging from the age of 15 to 18, was

Olivia Walton, left, and Cathleen Evans, along with 28 fellow students, spent their spring break building homes in Mexico. split into two groups. Each group worked on a house, along with the family the house was being built for, Evans explained. Walking around the town and seeing houses that had been built previously, “we saw how much of a difference one house really did make,” she said. Throughout the week, the students quickly grew close with the children there, Walton said. Seeing the kids each day was exciting and knowing they were equally excited made her realize how much their help was appreciated, she said. “You realize you’re making them so happy by doing this, but what you don’t really know, before you go is how

happy it will make you, and how good it feels to give something so important.” They agreed the trip was emotionally straining at times, but said the charity mission taught them to not take anything for granted. “It was really shocking when we first got there,” Walton said. “We got to go inside the houses that they had and they weren’t even houses. They were made out of cardboard and tarp. … They don’t have electricity and they don’t have running water and their bathrooms were just like a hole inside.” Seeing how close the families are with how little they have made the students

re-evaluate what’s important to them, Evans said, adding that since coming back, she tries to help out more at home. “I’ve realized how valuable (my parents) are and how much they do for me,” she said. The part that really hit home, she added, was when they presented a young girl with her own bedroom -- something she didn’t have before. “She started crying and she kissed all the toys on her bed and everything, she kissed her bed and her pillow. That’s kind of when it hit home for me -- what I’d done, what we had done.” Through bottle drives, a silent auction and a Mexican-themed dance, students spent most of last year fundraising for the trip. Supplies to build the two houses cost $24,000. Any extra money raised went to furnishing the houses and to the local school, Evans said. Oak Bay teachers Brent Garraway and Tessa Logan organized the trip. The teachers have encouraged students to take what they’ve learned and translate it into their own lives, Evans said. The trip also helped several Grade 12 students realize what to do after graduation, Walton said. “I always thought I’d go straight to university (after high school) but I’ve thought a lot more about volunteering,” Evans said.

Enthusiast crafts car the ‘locost’ way At his day job, mechanical engineer Mark Tsui helps develop natural gas fuel systems for what were originally dieselpowered trucks and buses. ALYN EDWARDS However, over a CLASSIC three-year period, RIDES he used much of his spare time to build his own sports car. His work space was a dim, unheated chicken barn at his parents’ farm in Surrey – then 30 km from his Vancouver apartment. Tsui had always wanted to build his own car. He knew there were kit cars available but the cost was prohibitive. And he really wanted to build a sports car from scratch. He discovered a book originally written in 1996 by British author Ron Champion who had built a car for his son. Build Your Own Sports Car for as Little as 250 Pounds is a step-by-step plan to use a donor car to acquire the material necessary to handbuild a lightweight, sporty vehicle. The low cost to build the sports car appropriately called a “Locost” really lit the fire for Tsui. “The appeal for me in going this route was the ability to have much more control over all of the aspects of how the car is designed and built as well as the pride that goes along with building it myself,” he says. He made an agreement with his wife that he wouldn’t start the project until his student loans were paid off. After several aggressive payments to wipe out the debt, he started to build his Locost on a tight budget in 2004.

Mark Tsui with his Locost sports car project as it takes shape in his parents’ Cloverdale barn. This step-by-step book on building your own sports car was the inspiration for Mark Tsui to complete his Locost project.

The design is based on the iconic Lotus 7 built between 1957 and 1972 – known for delivering performance as a small, lightweight, no-frills, groundhugging sports car. A typical Locost weighs between 1,000 and 1,500 lbs. Some have been built for as little as $2,500 but the typical build usually costs $5,000 to $10,000.

Auto Racing Hall of Fame marks 28 years This spring the Victoria Auto Racing Hall of Fame marks 28 years of celebrating the local racing community and its achievements. The first of its kind in Canada, the hall introduces three new inductees this year, bringing the total to 80, along with three new Pioneer Award recipients, bringing that total to 68. Inductees for 2012 are Al Clark,

Locost Continued from Pg. B1

Mark Tsui grew his confidence with help and support from several online forums involving owners who have completed or were building their own Locost sports cars. The right donor car is essential for the economical build. Tsui found a rusted-out 1982 Toyota Corolla that was in decent running condition for $200. But the $100 tow, a new $100 battery and a $100 fuel pump quickly added to the cost. He would use the engine, transmission, rear end, steering column, wiring harness and instrument cluster for his new hand-built sports car. He bought an inexpensive 115 volt mig welder and a pile of steel tubing to construct the frame, which took shape quickly. To expedite the build, he purchased the rear fenders, cowl and nose cone rather than making them. The wiring seemed to take forever because he used the wiring harness from the Toyota, which he had to lengthen or shorten to fit the small sports car. The build took 1,000 hours to complete over three years. The total cost was approximately $7,500. The home-built sports car received the British Columbia safety certification after Tsui fixed a problem of excess steering play by machining a new custom steering shaft with tighter tolerances. His first drive with the car was both “scary and thrilling,” according to the owner/ builder. “You become very aware of your surroundings much like a motorcyclist because the car is so small and so low. I definitely drive more defensively.” His Locost sports car draws a lot of looks and inquisitive people during the infrequent trips to the local gas station. “People hang out of their car windows to take photographs and give a thumbs up,” he says. A highlight was a trip up Cypress Mountain with other owners of “Seven” cars, relating to the Lotus 7 ancestry of the lightweight sports cars which have been copied by up to 160 manufacturers. Tsui was joined by several other scratch-built Locosts, as well as some factory-built models or kit cars. Since completing the home-built sports car, Mark and his wife have had two children. “With only two seats, it’s hard to share the joy of driving the car with the family,” he says. Tsui has begun the design of a new car with four seats that he plans to build from his own design. The car is taking shape using Computer Aided Design software. “It will loosely resemble a 1930s two-door phaeton that will be open but equipped with a roll cage for safety,” he says. He plans to put his Locost sports car up for sale to finance construction of the new car –which will receive a special name, yet to be determined.
