Grassroots effort needed to achieve amalgamation

Regional website a powerful news tool

Nova Scotia forced Halifax to merge in 1996, but B.C.’s Community Charter requires an effort led by local governments Kyle Slavin News staff

Gloria McCluskey’s tried to block as much of 1996 from her memory as possible. As a resident of Dartmouth, she was upset when the Nova Scotia government mandated her city to amalgamate with Halifax, Bedford and Halifax County under the banner of fiscal responsibility. But as the mayor of Dartmouth at the time, she was furious. “I didn’t want to be a part of it. I didn’t like what happened. I felt that Dartmouth was going to be a loser in all of this,” said McCluskey, now 81. “Residents still ask me, ‘Can we go back?’ Of course we can’t go back; we can’t afford to go back. We work and make the best of it, but Dartmouth still gets short-changed.” At the time, Dartmouth was the Saanich or Langford equivalent of metropolitan Halifax. While known as a bedroom community of the nearby big city, it had its own burgeoning economic generators and a solid population base. It came as a shock to McCluskey that no one – municipal politicians and the region’s residents alike – had a say in the fact that amalgamation was happening, ultimately made official on April 1, 1996. At the time, amalgamation wasn’t really on anyone’s radar, according to a former journalist who covered the merger for the now-defunct Halifax Daily News. It’s a much different story in Greater Victoria, where amalgamation is a regular topic of conversation during discussions surrounding political red tape, municipal budgets, civic elections or regional services. “I can remember there being more voices to maintain the status quo – the view being if you expanded it, the response to local issues would be impaired,” recalled reporter Peter McLaughlin. “There was a worry (after amalgamation was announced) things would be diluted – you’d be paying more taxes and get fewer services or

less responsive service in your community or your neighbourhood.” The Nova Scotia government hired Bill Hayward to plan and implement Halifax’s amalgamation. He was chosen because only a couple years earlier the province commissioned him to study whether it was even necessary to amalgamate. “I looked at what would happen (if the region were to amalgamate) and I said, ‘No, all we need to do is put together three critical services – PART 2 police, industrial OF 5 development and water supply,” Hayward said. “I still don’t think that it was necessary to (amalgamate), if those three (services were merged). … It was controversial.” Controversial would be an understatement if amalgamation were to happen in Greater Victoria. “Everybody has different ideas. What does amalgamation mean? … Is it political? Is it services? Do we divide up a map?,” said Mat Wright, a co-founder of the Capital Region Municipal Amalgamation Society, known colloquially as Amalgamation Yes. His organization hopes to engage Greater Victoria residents on the topic of amalgamation, and aims to get a plebiscite on the 2014 municipal ballot. “I think there’s a general consensus after years of conversation that the current system could be streamlined more cohesively for broader community benefit,” added John Vickers, another Amalgamation Yes co-founder. Unlike in Nova Scotia, amalgamation can’t be forced upon our region. A decade ago, the province removed a portion of the Community Charter that gave them that power. It now requires initiation for amalgamation to come from municipalities. Vickers says with local politicians all over the map on amalgamation, the only way to get a true snapshot of the region is to put the question to the voting public. The process to get from the current state to a hybrid model (be it amalgamation or

Greater Victoria resource touches communities

A REGION

UNITED

If a road sign greeting visitors coming off the ferry at Swartz Bay painted an accurate picture of the region, it might look like this. With 13 municipalities, 91 local politicians, one regional government, three school boards, four police departments and RCMP and 13 fire departments covering 462 square kilometres, amalgamating governments or services in Greater Victoria might be a way of reducing redundancies. integrated services) would be long and slow. According to the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development, even if there was a non-binding vote in 2014 to gauge support for some form of amalgamation, any change would require a second public vote, at which time voters would need to know what the proposed government structure would look like. “If the municipal councils involved agreed that there was enough public support of amalgamation, they could request the Minister to order a restructure vote in each of the municipalities that participated in the process,” a ministry spokesperson said. “In order for amalgamation to take place, the vote would have to be successful in each municipality.” The jury’s still out on whether the Halifax merger was financially worthwhile. The cost of amalgamating came in higher than anticipated, due to having to settle union contract disparities, but cost savings were found through finding efficiencies and eliminating redundancies. (Hayward fired 172 staffers, many in management roles.) Even if a plebiscite isn’t held in 2014, hiring someone like Hayward to study amalgamation’s potential in Greater Victoria would be a logical step – at the very least to examine that original question: Is amalgamation necessary? kslavin@saanichnews.com

Small-scale test case For decades amalgamation talks on a much smaller scale have been happening on the western border of the CRD. Metchosin and East Sooke (part of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area) looked at a merger prior to Metchosin’s incorporation in 1984. “It’s always been regarded as a natural fit and the idea of it is to ensure rural land in perpetuity,” said Metchosin Mayor John Ranns. The latest series of talks – spurred by development pressures in East Sooke – ended in late 2009. Metchosin said it’d be best to wait until treaty negotiations with Beecher Bay First Nation were complete. Ranns said some Crown land in Metchosin could become part of the treaty settlement. Juan de Fuca area director Mike Hicks sees pros and cons of amalgamating with Metchosin, but would want to see that decision sent to referendum. “The people of East Sooke seem to be fairly content (right now) and I don’t hear it brought up at all,” he said. “If it’s a marriage with no prenups, Metchosin would be looking at it harder than East Sooke. But I don’t know if East Sooke would be a willing bride or not. That’s the reality of amalgamation.” – Kyle Slavin

The couple delivered their change.org petition, which garnered more than 36,000 signatures and calls on the province to address a gap in critical care for children with mental illness. The Bradleys’ 11-year-old daughter suffers from bipolar disorder. She was turned away from Victoria General Hospital on several occasions in January, and 19 days after the family first applied, she was admitted into the Island’s only child mental health care facility, Ledger House in Saanich.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

War brides reunion hosted in Victoria The Canadian War Brides and Families Association is hosting its annual reunion in Victoria, April 12 to 14 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. There were 48,000 war brides and 22,000 children who crossed the Atlantic to join Canadian husbands and fathers. War bride numbers have diminished over the decades. But thousands of war bride children, grandchildren, and

great-grandchildren are out there and all are invited to attend and take part in the many fun events planned. For more information and reunion registration forms please contact Joan Reichardt at 250-352-7013 or jreichardt@ netidea.com.

Parade deadline looms for potential entries

One of Canada’s longestrunning parades is seeking more participants. The 115th Island Farms Vic-

toria Day Parade has already signed up many businesses, floats and 20 high school marching bands for the May 20 event, but spaces are still available, organizer Ron Butlin said. “We get about 145 entries every year,” he said. “We’ll always take more marching bands, they’re a crowd favourite.” Last year, the parade drew an estimated 65,000 attendees along Douglas Street. To register for the parade, call Butlin at 250-382-3111. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Correction A story on the CRD’s biosolids energy centre (Neighbours worried about biosolids plant, March 27) contained incorrect numbers. The Viewfield Road site would save $6 to $7 million in capital costs over locating the centre at Hartland landfill and save about $100,000 in annual operating costs.

Heron season is a treat for local bird watchers Birds lay down roots high above Beacon Hill pathways Ben Gawletz News intern

Great blue herons have returned to Beacon Hill Park and are ready to nest. This year the B.C Ministry of Environment and City of Victoria parks staffers have created new signage asking visitors to tread quietly near the heronry around Goodacre Lake. “The signs have been put in place because the (herons) are quite sensitive,” said Michele Gorman, the city’s integrated pest management co-ordinator. “The birds can’t handle loud noises like car doors slamming or gunshot-like noises. We are asking people to be sensitive to them.” Gorman’s title might make one wonder whether she considers the large birds pests. But her excited descriptions of their nesting grounds in the park quickly erase those thoughts. Parks workers accommodate the herons by doing a portion of the work for them. They leave piles of twigs and trimmings for the birds to use in the construction of their nests. The heronry in Beacon Hill Park was the largest on the Island until storms felled numerous trees in 2006, leaving the birds fewer places to nest. To make matters worse, a mated pair of bald eagles that kept younger eagles from raiding the heron nests were unable to do so after the male died in 2008. Things have been looking up, though. Since then the female eagle has mated again and new trees have been planted for the herons to use for screening and

The prehistoric-looking birds are active in the park now during nesting season. building their nests. “The heronry has spread all the way back to Douglas Street now,” Gorman said, estimating the total number of birds at 40 or more. “(That) is great news, especially with tourist season

fast approaching. I’ve seen tour groups, not necessarily (visiting) for the birds, go into the park and when they see an eagle or heron fly overhead, the impact is quite amazing.” editor@vicnews.com

Carbon tax has messy political history ANNUAL PUBLIC GENERAL MEETING

Board Chair Lindalee Brougham, on behalf of the Board of Directors, and Geoff Dickson, President and CEO, invite the public to attend the Victoria Airport Authority’s Annual Public General Meeting

Continued from Page A1 The carbon tax is budgeted to raise $1.2 billion in the coming fiscal year, with all revenues required to be returned through personal and business income tax reductions. B.C.’s carbon tax was a political battleground before the 2009

election, with former NDP leader Carole James campaigning for it to be scrapped. At the 2008 municipal convention in Penticton, when former premier Gordon Campbell announced grants to offset carbon tax costs for towns and cities, James claimed the grants were to placate local politicians, who were in open

revolt against the tax. After 2009, the NDP changed its position to support the carbon tax. Leader Adrian Dix has said revenues should go towards transit expansion or energy-saving upgrades in municipal buildings and operations. – with files from Tom Fletcher dpalmer@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

New grey wave hitting province Eighty years ago, a person with Down syndrome was lucky to make it to their 16th birthday. Fortunately, advances in health care,

nutrition and de-institutionalization has helped the developmentally disabled live into their senior years, largely at the same pace as the rest of society. This shows the lasting and long-term benefits of treating people with Down syndrome, fetal alcohol spectrum disorder and other cognitive impairments as members of society, not people to be locked away at home or warehoused in institutions. Greater Victoria and communities across B.C. have service agencies with excellent day programs, job placement programs and group homes, all in an effort to have people with disabilities live rich, dignified lives in their communities and among their peers. With all of these advancements and with hindsight, it’s not surprising that developmentally disabled people are living much longer than they used to. The current cohort is the first in history to get old in large numbers. Ministry of Social Development and by extension Community Living B.C., the Crown agency that manages funding and programs for the developmentally disabled, will roll out plans to better care for their aging clients (it’s also rolling out plans to better manage young adults – CLBC is seeing growing client load at both ends of the age spectrum). Unfortunately, the ministry and CLBC are slow on the uptake. It’s been well known for at least five years that the grey tsunami of cognitively disabled seniors was on its way, but planning for this in government circles really only started last year, after CLBC emerged from multiple damaging scandals. Part of rebuilding credibility is the Ministry of Social Development following through with promises of funding to meet growing service demands. If funding doesn’t materialize, it will leave nonprofit organizations stretched thinner and searching for ways to support aging clients. Older people, disabled or not, need more medical care, walkers and other items to keep them safe at home or in day-program centres. Retirement homes aren’t staffed with people who understand developmental disabilities, and service agencies generally aren’t equipped or funded to run geriatric programs. Last year the government trumpeted its 12-point program to improve how CLBC operates. Hopefully for its most vulnerable citizens, that’s not empty rhetoric.

The operation could process 175 million barrels per year, creating immense tax revenue that could fund health care, education and vital services for the disabled and elderly. But job creation and tax revenue are not the only desirable features. It also would provide much lower risk to the marine environment. Shipments from the refinery would be finished products such as aviation fuel, gasoline and diesel, all of which have much less impact on the environment if spilled than crude oil. They would also be transported in smaller ships. While people on both sides of the aisle see this as a political issue, I disagree. This project can be attractive regardless of political affiliation. Trade unions would see a significant increase in jobs and memberships. Hospitals and schools across the province would see increased government funding. And business activity, especially in the challenged northwest B.C. region, would be very positively impacted. The question should not be whether we want this project, but rather, how can we help make sure the petroleum world sees it as an attractive way to invest billions in shareholder capital? Jim Shepard is retired president of Finning and Canfor, two of B.C.’s largest companies, and a past director on the board of Imperial Oil.

LETTERS

Time to crack down on irresponsible cyclists Re: Wearing a helmet is critical for cyclists’ safety (Letters, March 29) For the safety of cyclists and lessened anxiety for motorists, I would suggest that in addition to safety helmets which can reduce injuries, more accident prevention warrants attention. One step towards this is for cyclists riding after dark to take more responsibility, wearing reflective vests and using front and rear lights. While the majority show common sense, there are still cyclists who seem to have a death wish. This is most apparent in the dark months of December through February. My eyesight is good, yet I find it difficult to see

these road users, and in the rain with oncoming traffic, they are almost invisible. On a few occasions I have stopped to calmly explain how precarious it is for these cyclists, who may not drive and may be unaware of the vision difficulties for motorists. This has usually resulted in receiving verbal abuse from the riders. While my responsible citizenship in such cases is done, I still don’t relish the possibility of going through the traumatic experience of injuring this type of cyclist. A way of reducing this irresponsible behaviour is to have more police presence during the

winter months. Ticket offenders and confiscate their bike for six months. Anyone without the common sense to realize the danger of cycling in dark clothing and without lights will not respond to gentle, reasoned persuasion. James McMillan Victoria

Safety virtually built in for European cyclists Re: Wearing a helmet is critical for cyclists’ safety (Letters, March 29) It was nice to see my letter generated a response. Unfortunately, the writer seems to

think I’m against cyclists wearing helmets and has completely missed the point. Cyclists across Canada should always wear helmets for the very reason I pointed out. In Europe, cyclists often have their own separated, barrier-protected lanes and are virtually safe, so helmets are not an issue there. Victoria roads, however, sometimes have a painted line – no protection at all – or else must squeeze in along the curb, forcing motorists to veer into the left lane and go around them, creating the possibility of accidents. I feel sorry for cyclists who do their best by wearing helmets, riding with the traffic, etc. In spite

of their best behaviours, there has not been any recognition of their need for improvements so they can travel more safely. A while back, David Suzuki and one of his daughters traveled to Copenhagen for a CBC special. One of the things they noticed was how nice it was to cycle there. No one wore helmets because there was no danger of being in an accident with a car. Until North American culture changes so our world doesn’t revolve around cars, even the best road improvements for cyclists here do not mean people should forego wearing helmets. Helene Harrison Victoria

Readers respond: Eugenics rebuttal, tuberculosis funding Rebuttals missed point of eugenics letter Re: Quality of letters questioned by reader, Reference to Agenda 21 like 9/11 conspiracy (Letters, March 29) Writers Alan Johnson and Murray Sinclair both attempt to denigrate my well-founded concerns about the Globalist eugenicist sustainability cult and one of its key tyrannical mechanisms, United Nations’ Agenda 21. Johnson suggests that “Gregory Hartnell doesn’t seem to understand the differences between sustainability, birth control and eugenics,” while Mr. Sinclair suggests that I am using “arguments that are the intellectual equivalent (using the term generously) of a 9/11 conspiracy theory.” Both writers seem to have missed the whole point of my original letter, which suggested columnists David

Suzuki and Ian Hanington support Uruguayan president Jose Mujica because he votes for population reduction and the so-called ‘family planning’ programmes of UN Agenda 21. While I agree with Johnson’s assertion that greens support legal, safe and accessible birth control, I part company with him when he writes that fewer unwanted children is a way to slow the environmental damage we are already causing in this world. Sinclair calls Agenda 21 “a voluntary, non-binding environmental plan from the United Nations,” and notes that Christian Heritage Party candidate Dr. Philip Ney included similar warnings about the proposition in his election platform. While I am not a member of that party, I am unashamed to confirm that I was one of the people who voted for him.

Basically, I think Ney and those awakened souls who condemn the dangerous ‘sustainable development’ myth of UN Agenda 21 make more sense than sustainability cultists like David Suzuki and Ian Hanington. Gregory Hartnell Victoria

Mandela’s health issues flashpoint for funding Nelson Mandela is in hospital with a recurring lung infection caused when he contracted tuberculosis in Pollsmoor Prison in 1988. It left an indelible imprint on him and he has relentlessly sought to increase awareness about the dangerous implications of TB. Nowhere are the themes of his life more applicable than in the fight against tuberculosis. This deadly disease is still plaguing the world today with

a staggering 1.4 million people globally succumbing to this killer annually and nearly nine million new cases detected yearly. Mine workers in South Africa have the highest rate of TB in the world and an estimated one-third of TB infections in the southern African region are linked to mining activities. There is a deadly synergy with TB/HIV co-infection in the spread of TB in mining communities. People living with HIV are 20 to 30 times more likely to develop TB due to compromised immune systems. About $1 billion per year of international funding is needed for TB care and control. Let us honour this amazing humanitarian and his struggle and work and address this disease by increasing Canadian investment to the Global Fund when it is replenished this fall.

Curiosity key component of annual home tour Availability of design tips from experts makes tour more like home show Don Descoteau News staff

The prevalence of home improvement TV shows has contributed to the metamorphosis of the Young Life Victoria Home Tour. The popular annual fundraiser for the Christian youth organization began in 1991 as a showcase of new homes and renovations, but in a rather sterile environment – no homeowners were present and few contractors on hand to chat with. Today the tour is very interpersonal, with many homeowners happy to stick around to talk to the hundreds of visitors who troop through in the course of two five-hour weekend shifts. Some have even chosen to make snacks for guests, says Young Life spokesperson Bill Okell, but organizers stop short of suggesting that to participants. “It’s been quite a transition,” he says. “Very few homeowners ever hung out in the homes. Now (they realize) they’re a good source of information. In past, it was more of a visual thing. These days it’s more of a ‘let’s get as much information as we can’ thing.” Feedback from tour participants

has shown visitors are not only hungry to discover more options for renovation projects, he says, they enjoy meeting new people. “A lot of these people are like their homes, they’re characters and they’re interesting.” Rus Collins, a partner in the Zebra Group and manager of the company’s construction arm, is back with the tour after a hiatus. The Zebra crew is showcasing its work on a near total inside-out renovation of a former Tudorrevival style home on St. David Street in Oak Bay. It can be fruitful for builders or designers to hang out at one of their project homes. While most visitors are genuinely interested in houses, Collins says, many are looking at building or renovating in the future. “It’s an opportunity to get inside these houses that you might never have a chance to get into,” he says. This year’s tour, set for April 13 and 14, includes 10 homes, located in Oak Bay, Fairfield and Uplands. They feature a combination of single room renovations, major rebuilds and new homes – even a redesigned houseboat. Passport tickets for the selfguided tour are $25 each and are available at building supply stores around the region.

Our new Development Centre will be open for business on the 2nd floor of City Hall as of Monday, April 8. All business and development related services will soon be available in one place: • • • •

Child poverty key election issue: university women

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Child poverty remains a serious and lingering issue in B.C., and the Canadian Federation of University Women hopes to make it a priority with voters leading up to the May provincial election. The CFUW is organizing talks on child poverty across the province this month, and the Victoria chapter is hosting a

Vehicle crash driver sought

Victoria Police Department officers are looking for the driver of an uninsured 2004 Toyota Rav 4 that slammed into a pole in the 600-block of Dunedin St. around 12:30 a.m. Tuesday. A K-9 team was unable to locate the driver near the crash site, but police have been combing the vehicle for forensic evidence that might link the vehicle to an individual.

A massive copper wire theft was discovered Monday at a vacant building in the 200-block of Harbour Road. There was extensive damage and graffiti inside the building, and the thieves likely took their time stripping the copper wire over the weekend, said Const. Mike Russell. Damage is estimated in the thousands of dollars. Call the VicPD non-emergency line at 250995-7654 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477) with relevant information.

Thief grabs church cash

A thief made off with hundreds of dollars in cash donations from Victoria’s Chinese Pentecostal Church Saturday night. Church patrons noticed a broken window just before 10 p.m. after a suspicious man was seen leaving the premises, said Const. Mike Russell. The thief is described as Caucasian, approximately five-foot-10 inches with a thin build , black curly hair and a scruffy light beard. He was wearing a black nylon jacket and black pants at the time. Call the numbers listed above with any pertinent information to this case.

Two men took police on a roundabout chase after overturning a stolen canoe in Victoria’s Inner Harbour Saturday afternoon. Both the Canadian Coast Guard and Victoria Police Department responded to the incident around 2:30 p.m. The two men climbed out of the harbour around the Malahat Coast Guard station and started running down the street, but were eventually stopped by police officers near the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The men admitted they had been consuming alcohol and agreed to return the canoe to its rightful owner. dpalmer@vicnews.com

2012

The brief era of the harmonized sales tax ended in B.C. Monday, with a last-minute scramble by thousands of businesses to register as collectors of the revived provincial sales tax. About 100,000 businesses in B.C. are required to register and collect PST from customers. By the Easter weekend, about 80,000 of them had done so, said Naomi Yamamoto, B.C.’s minister of state for small business. “I think what most consumers will be doing is looking at their receipts,” Yamamoto said Sunday. “In most cases they’ll be paying the same as they did prior to April 1, unless you’re getting your hair cut, or buying a ski ticket or you’re paying your golf membership or going to a restaurant, or buying a bike.” The good news for barbers, bike shops, restaurants and other labour service providers is their customers will see a seven-per-cent tax reduction. The bad news is that merchants must administer two sales taxes, the PST and the five per cent GST, which continues to apply to goods and services. There are a few anomalies, such as insulation and weatherstripping, where sales tax falls by seven per cent as historic PST exemptions resumed Monday, but most retail purchases will remain subject to both GST and PST at a combined rate of 12 per cent. Yamamoto said businesses can register online by going to pstinbc.ca or gov.bc.ca/pst and selecting the registration link. Business owners who don’t register immediately can still correct transactions made after the deadline, because the first online remittance of PST is expected at the end of May. NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said a statistically average family will be about $350 ahead with the removal of the HST, which was rejected in a mail-in referendum in June 2011. Ralston acknowledged that low-income people will lose the increased HST rebates that have been paid quarterly since the HST took effect in 2010. But he said that will be balanced by the reduced sales taxes they pay in restaurants and other service purchases. Tobacco taxes went up by seven per cent with the HST, and that tax will remain. Liquor taxes have also been adjusted to be unchanged with either tax, although restaurants will pay increased tax on liquor sales with the return to PST. A separate seven per cent tax on private used vehicle purchases also remains in place. It was imposed along with the HST to make private sellers subject to the same taxation as car dealers. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Platform 61 ready for Performing Arts Festival

Vic High one of 20 schools at Victoria Performing Arts Festival Travis Paterson News staff

The kids just want to be on stage. Perhaps some more than others. Or so class instructor Kerry Krich mentions, as she reminds the students of Vic High’s D block dance class as they hustle through an exhibition of Put Your Hands Up, a three-minute piece they’ve choreographed themselves for the upcoming Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival. “More expression on your faces please. You’ve chosen to be in the performing arts, so let’s see it,” says Krich. Her words are firm but caring. Vic High’s Platform 61 troupe is made up of 80 dance students from several classes and will do 13 performances over the course of two days, April 23 and 24, at the festival’s School Dance session at the University of Victoria’s Farquhar Auditorium. Giving up-and-coming or established artists of all types a chance to attempt, hone or perfect their craft in front of an audience is one of the driving motivations behind this month’s festival, which is already underway

But it’s the School Dance Honours Concert on May 7, which uses select performances from April 23 and 24, that has students from 20 Greater Victoria public and private high schools turning up the heat in rehearsal over the next three weeks. “We’re not always the most technically sound (troupe) but we Travis Paterson/News staff work hard and Vic High dance students Sayaka Pomeroy, left, Mohammed have a lot of pasRashead and Karling Morriss rehearse Put Your Hands Up for sion.

Grade 12 student Mohammed Rashead. The 20 dancers of D block choreographed Put Your Hands Up specifically for the festival. It’s a favourite of theirs, as it incorporates all sorts of disciplines, ballet, belly dance, hip hop, jazz, Bollywood and more. But their absolute favourite to rehearse and perform is Happiness, designed in house by Vic High alumnus Ross Wirtanen. The Canadian choreographer is a former student of Krich’s and returns every year to work with Vic High’s dance class. This year he returned for two weeks and worked with the students on Happiness. “We love Happiness for all the energy and passion we can put into it and the style – the costuming was fun,” Rashead said. This year’s festival ends with its final honours concert, the Roberto and Mary Wood Scholarship Competition on May 11, 7 p.m. at the Victoria Truth Centre on Fort St. Performances from all 20 high schools run 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday, April 23 and 24.

! N I W E M O H

2013

First produced in 1887, Ruddigore, one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s lesser-known supernatural operettas, followed the hugely successful The Mikado and contains much of their best work. The opera is a parody of the domestic melodrama, popular in its day, about a witch’s curse, hidden identity and a gallery of ghosts who come to life to exact their will or their vengeance on the unhappy mortal in their power. The Victoria Gilbert and Sullivan Society’s musical cast includes an evil baronet, a high born hero in disguise, a virtuous heroine, a faithful servant and a true-blue, plain-spoken sailor. A standout performance by Andrea Palin as Mad Margaret, a woman driven crazy by love and jealousy, and a solid chorus, who provide a generous amount of giggles, as well as many other characters known to traditional melodrama round out this entertaining show. Ruddigore’s characters behave in ways the audience does not see coming, creating an exciting story with unexpected and very funny twists. Casting a spell on both performers and audience, George Corwin returns as music director, Chris Moss as stage director and Heather-Elayne Day as choreographer. Performers include Jonathan Woodward, George Morfitt (Best actor award: 2012 Theatre BC South Island Zone Festival) and Merissa Cox (Mikado). New to the troupe’s mainstage productions is Meaghan Toole, whose lilting voice and gentle take on heroine Rose Maybud brings the freshness of youth to the mature cast of Ruddigore. The operetta is at the McPherson Playhouse April 6 at 8 p.m. and April 7 at 2 p.m. For tickets, call the McPherson box office at 250-386-6121 or book online at rmts.bc.ca For more information, go to gilbertandsullivanvictoria.ca. llavin@vicnews.com

Saanich runner ready to tackle Island distance Novice marathoner plans to tackle several a week during fundraiser Don Descoteau News staff

The entrepreneurial spirit runs through Yana Hempler. She has sold products through a multi-level marketing company, competed online in a national great ideas and mentorship contest and recently graduated with a bachelor of commerce degree – specializing in entrepreneurship and marketing – from the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria, earning four straight Black Press business scholarships along the way. A late-March post on her Twitter account (@yhempler) gives a glimpse into her outlook on life: “When you want to succeed as bad as you want to breathe that’s when you will be successful.” She’s a fan of Canadian entrepreneur and Dragon’s Den regular panelist W. Brett Wilson, as well as Donald Trump. But don’t let the apparent focus on business fool you. It’s fitness, health and community that hold her heart. She’ll combine all three in Run for Their Lives, a 495-kilometre run from Port Hardy to Victoria in aid of three Greater Victoria charities. “I like to challenge myself, and running and fitness are my biggest passions,” says the 23-year-old Saanich resident, who is a certified trainer and blogs on health and fitness.

“There’s nothing more rewarding than knowing that I can help people at the same time.” Hempler, a 2008 graduate of North Island secondary in Port Hardy, plans to start the run there May 20. She hopes to run a marathon a day, about 42 km, for two or three days straight, rest for a day, then resume her pace. “I’m thankful to be able to run 40 kilometres at a time,” she says. Last weekend, she peeled off a 30-km training run, a regimen she plans to ease back on soon, as she is also training for the May 5 BMO Vancouver Marathon. Last fall, she ran her first GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon. “The biggest thing with distance running is to be patient and not increase the distance too quickly,” she says. Running the Island is no sudden crazy idea. Hempler has been thinking about tackling a major run for a few years. Her running background goes back much further. Distance training was a daily routine at school in her hometown of Novgorod, Russia. She began competing in track upon moving to Alberta in Grade 5. She developed into a top high school runner in northern Alberta before moving to the North Island. She counts Terry Fox as a major inspiration, having discovered the Terry Fox Run during her school days

in Alberta. Even then she liked the idea that she could help a charity while working on her running skills. “I kind of missed out on the deadline for the GoodLife Fitness Marathon charity (program),” she says, explaining her desire to make her Island run a fundraiser. She has a connection to all three charities: she has volunteered for the Mustard Seed food bank, a roommate volunteered with the B.C. SPCA and a classmate was a summer intern at Recreation Integration Victoria. Doug Nutting, executive director for RIV, said his organization is “thrilled” to be one of the charities Hempler targeted. “Given the economy and what it’s like to be a non-profit, anytime we can generate some extra revenue, it’s greatly appreciated,” Nutting said. Money provided from the run will allow RIV to send children and youth to summer day camps, provide oneon-one support for children who need specialized help to engage in recreational activities, and defray the cost of training volunteers, he added. Hempler is soliciting corporate sponsorships, as well as encouraging individual donations. Individuals can donate to their charity of choice online through Canada Helps at bit.ly/VKvL0R. Corporate sponsors may contact her directly at yhempler@uvic.ca. editor@vicnews.com

Royals all about future

Team optimistic despite playoff exit Travis Paterson News staff

Life will take care of itself is the motto as the Victoria Royals begin the offseason. On paper there are some tough decisions for coach Dave Lowry and general manager Cam Hope to make when the the Royals return from a five-month break to the Western Hockey League in late August. Returnees, graduating players, and life lessons were the key topics covered as the Victoria media shuffled down the hall from the Men’s World Curling Championships at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre to the Royals dressing room, where the team did exit interviews and said their goodbyes on Tuesday. But life often has a way of sorting itself out, enough to make those decisions clearer, if not easier, for Hope and Lowry. For one, it’s possible all five Royals turning 20 this year might not return healthy to start the season. It’s also possible another team or teams will show interest in them and that all five will get a chance to be an over-age player in the WHL, either on the Royals or elsewhere. Until then, there’s no knowing what will happen to Logan Nelson, Ben Walker, Tim Traber, Jordan Fransoo and Mitch Deacon. All but Fransoo started their WHL careers with the Royals/Chilliwack Bruins. “We’re glad we’re not making that decision today,” Lowry said. “That’ll all play out and take care of itself. The guys who will be fighting for spots will be here in August for camp.” The mood during the locker clean-out had a mellow flavour. “We’re a real disappointed group, but from coaches’ perspective we’re real proud of effort and performance it showed a lot

The Victoria royals celebrate a goal by Ben Walker during Game 6 of their seven game series against the Kamloops Blazers, played at Bear Mountain Arena. of character, down a lot of bodies,” Lowry said. “Young guys stepped up and at the end of it we ran out of gas.” The book now closes on this season as the Royals’ brass now move on to scouting for the upcoming WHL Bantam Draft on May 2 in Calgary. “We have some scouts meetings right away, a prospect camp in the U.S.A. next week followed by some tournaments before the draft,” Hope said. Expect the Royals to pick up the best players available. That includes possibly taking another goalie at the CHL Import Draft in June, though unlikely, as the team seems content to go with rookies Patrik Polivka and Coleman Vollrath for another season. All indications are Polivka, the 19-year-old Czech import will be back. Polivka showed promise as the Royals

starter. He began the season strong and was in good form during the team’s great January run that put them temporarily in fourth place. During the Royals’ February losing streak, however, Polivka lost the starting spot to Vollrath, who put a solid stamp on the year. Prospect Michael Herringer also played, getting his first win. The team muzzled Polivka from speaking about a lower-body injury that hampered him through the second part of the season. But he says he was healthy for the playoffs, in which he was stellar. As of Wednesday Polivka led all WHL goalies in the playoffs with 244 shots faced and 222 saves. “I was healthy for the playoffs and I’m good now, I can’t feel (the injury), so I’m just looking forward to next year.” Polivka will spend the summer in the Czech Republic finishing high school.

Hope spoke glowingly of Lowry for guiding the Royals to a franchise best record despite the amount of injuries and suspensions to veteran members of the team. “When we were healthy we had a terrific winning streak. When we weren’t healthy, Lowry was able to get the team to take one of the best teams (Kamloops) in the country to six games, and with a little luck, maybe we could have knocked them off,” Hope said. This year’s Royals team leaned heavily on its over-agers, Alex Gogolev, Jamie Crooks and Tyler Stahl. The general consensus is it would have been a different playoff series versus the Kamloops Blazers if Royals’ MVP Gogolev and regular-season captain Stahl were available. Both were out with seasonending injuries. Crooks did play all six playoff games, and scored three goals and four assists. As for next year, think Nelson and Walker instead of Gogolev and Crooks, and Fransoo instead of Stahl. Traber offers a lot of leadership that could have him sticking around. Regardless, it will be youth all over again, Hope said. “Guys who are 17 next year will be taking on leadership roles. Guys who were 17 this year will feel like old men.” This year’s team played three 16-yearolds on defence, Joe Hicketts, Jack Walker and Ryan Gagnon, as well as Brandon Fushimi up front. And all four played regular roles. Pencil dynamic forward Tyler Soy and defenceman Chaz Reddekopp in for next year. “If we are going to keep our young guys on the team then they’re going to play,” Lowry said. “If we feel 16 year olds can play quality minutes then we feel they have that right.” Visit vicnews.com for a web extra feature on forward Brandon Fushimi’s rookie season with the Royals. sports@vicnews.com

More than anything he is adamant that people are missing out on the experience of being a crew member. “It’s B.C.’s best-kept secret. You can have so much fun, it builds team spirit and life skills.” Power and crew first entered Baaad Kitty into the Swiftsure Juan de Fuca race (to Clallam Bay and back) in 2011. That race is famous for its dead wind, and yet Baaad Kitty swept the Juan de Fuca’s categories, crossing the finish line first and having the top time after the adjustments. “One of the mysteries is the wind factor. Because of our boat, we do better in less wind than anyone else. And the less wind the more intense it gets out there, because everyone is fighting for that miniscule amount of speed,” Power said. Last year, in better winds, Baaad Kitty finished second. “I’m not a big fan of second but we did

Ben Power isn’t shy about his love for sailing. He wants to remind everyone it’s one of the most accessible activities going and not reserved for high society. Yes, he’s a boat owner, and yes, he’s hell-bent on winning at Swiftsure again this year as he has before. But the skip of Baaad Kitty (it came with that name) is only one of eight on the boat, and it takes all eight to get it right. “The more your team is prepared the more fun you’ll have during the race,” Power said. “I get a little bit tired of all the other coverage some sports get. But I also understand to watch sailing is not that exciting. Believe me I’ve done it. That’s why you have to try it,” he said. “There’s no dull moments once you’re in the boat.” Power recently spoke for 15 impassioned minutes at the Royal Victoria Yacht Club during the launch of the 70th Swiftsure International Yacht Race. This year’s theme is canvas to carbon, embodying the technological advancements of ships from old to new. “It’s the same sport, just different materials,” said Swiftsure chairman Vern Burkhardt.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Vancouver team to drive from Peking to Paris in 1928 Ford “One Life – No Regrets” is their motto. Car friends Jenny Mah and Loren Cocking are about to embark on the most remarkable adventure of their lives. On May 28, the flag ALYN EDWARDS CLASSIC will fall to start the RIDES fifth running of the Peking to Paris Motor Challenge – the longest and toughest rally anyone can drive in a vintage car. This rally involves driving 15,000 kilometres though some of the most remote places on earth. It re-traces the route of the original 1907 rally where 40 cars entered, but only four cars finished. Of the 100 cars entered into this year’s rally, they are car No. 7 – the seventh slowest car. In the original race, there were no rules except that the first automobile to reach Paris won a magnum of champagne. The race followed a telegraph route through China, Mongolia, the Gobi Desert and Siberia where there were no roads or maps. Italian Prince Scipione Borghese, driving a 45 horsepower Itala automobile, won the 1907 race. There are still no roads for much of the route. Jenny Mah has been preparing her 40-horsepower Ford Model A for the past year. It’s been completely rebuilt to withstand the rigours of what she and Loren regard as an epic journey. Jenny, who works in the fitness industry for the City of Vancouver, bought the restored Model A convertible sedan in Abbotsford one year ago, specifically for the event. Since the purchase, her car was

The electrical was changed from the original six-volt system to 12 volts so upgraded running and driving lights could be added to comply with rally rules. A 100-litre fuel cell was installed with an electric fuel pump to supply gasoline to the original cowl mounted gas tank. There are no petrol stations in

the Gobi desert and running out of fuel is not an option. The car is painted its original Arabian Sand colour. But Jenny had the wheels painted hot pink because “everyone said, don’t do it.” She will carry spare parts and will, with the aid Continued on Pg. B3

turbocharged power and AWD grip in a more agile and athletic form. To further improve handling dynamics, the Subaru WRX Concept features a carbon-fibre roof to enhance the already low centre of gravity and reduce weight. Considerably lower, sleeker and wider, the Subaru WRX Concept delivers even more street presence than previous generations of the WRX. The new grille design is larger and bolder and sets off the classic WRX hood scoop. A pronounced power bulge provides clearance for the new turbocharged engine

and intercooler. A prominent hexagonal grille form and deep lower valences with air intakes are designed to enhance aerodynamics, add downforce and aid engine cooling. The three dimensional mesh pattern of the grille denotes the performance-driven nature of the Subaru WRX Concept and sets the Subaru star cluster apart, while the new hawk-eye headlights integrate the Subaru design heritage. A sharp character line runs from the front corner through to the taillights, intersected by the boldly flared wheel arches emphasizing Subaru’s AWD system.

of her navigator, repair the car on this endurance run. Jenny’s Model A Ford was put in a container on Vancouver’s waterfront and left on a cargo ship for Beijing (Peking) March 27. This adventure is expensive – the entry fee alone is $60,000. She also flew to England last year to attend the Endurance Rally Association briefing and GPS training. Jenny’s an avid Corvette collector with a pair of 1970s big block examples. She met Loren through the BC Corvette Club. Loren, a financial services manager who owns a 1992 Corvette, signed on after Jenny’s original navigator had to withdraw due to medical issues. “I wanted to do something in my life

of epic proportions,” Loren says of his last-minute decision. “Lots of people tried to talk me out of it, but I wasn’t going to let anyone steal my dream.” That dream will be a daunting task to fulfill. Books have been written about what it takes to traverse the barren deserts and landscape where no soul has ever lived and where help and services are days away. Gasoline and supplies will be airlifted and cached along this route. Jenny thanks engine builder Donnie Trites of Terry Bride Racing Engines and fabricator Stuart Candiah of CC Racing for the mechanical modifications to her car. Without them this life-changing event could not have become a reality as the car was completed just two weeks prior to shipping. This left little time to break it in and

to learn how to maintain and repair the ancient Ford touring car. On arrival in Beijing, the car will be inspected for race rule compliance with only 24 hours to rectify any deficiencies. “Hell yes, I’m nervous! But I’m excited at the same time,” Jenny says of the journey that involves 33 very intense days. What fuels Jenny’s passion to do “the biggest and baddest rally in the world” is her desire to overcome a deep sense of loss in her life: Her younger brother, her mother and the end of a 15-year relationship. “It’s a way for me to put the pieces of my life back together again,” she says. If the stars align, she and Loren will cross the finish line at the famous Vendome in Paris on June 29 where they’ll be met by Jenny’s father and daughter. They’ll have formed incredible friendships with fellow

OVER OVER

Kia Motors sprang a major surprise on visitors to the recent Seoul International Motor Show in Korea with the world premiere of its all-new ‘CUB’ concept. Designed at the Kia headquarters studio in Seoul, under the direction of President and Chief Design Officer Peter Schreyer, the CUB is less than four metres long, has rearwardopening rear doors and an ‘access-all-areas’ interior concept without traditional B-pillars, providing excellent access to the luxuriously trimmed cabin. The CUB’s nose has a broad wrap-around ‘mouth’ and there is a ‘dip’ in the top of the windshield – a motif that is featured on Optima, Sportage and Cadenza models. The latest interpretation of Kia’s signature grille is a shallower design incorporating the turbocharger’s air intake, highlighted in body colour.

With four individual seats, the CUB’s interior presents a unique ambience. The cabin creates the sensation of a luxurious coupe and is trimmed in black leather with yellow colour accents around the seats, door armrests and steering wheel. The instrument cluster design is inspired by the eyes of a wild animal. The centre-stack design is minimalist with an air vent controlled by touch sensor. For extra safety, the steering wheel rim is capable of monitoring the driver`s biorhythms. As well as a steering wheel, there is a DIS (Driving Information System) controller connected to a gesture camera which provides easier operation while driving. With well-defined motions, drivers can set up each menu on the centre display. Hinting at the highperformance nature of the CUB, there is a footrest provided in the front passenger footwell.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG boasts the most powerful four-cylinder engine in the world at 360 hp and 331 lb/ft of torque.

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG:

Where design meets ‘driving performance’ Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com

The Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG four-door mid-size coupe follows in the footsteps of the successful CLS 63 AMG, the trendsetter for four-door highperformance coupes. With a maximum power output of 360 hp and a peak torque of 331 lb/ft it is the world’s most powerful four-cylinder engine built in series production. The performance coupe sprints from a standstill to 100 km/h in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 250 km/h.

An AMG Performance exhaust system with butterfly valve is optionally available for the CLA 45 AMG. It provides for an even more emotional and striking exhaust note when the throttle is open and when shifting gears. The doubledeclutching function during downshifts and the suppression of ignition and injection during upshifts under full load produce a particularly powerful sound with the AMG Performance exhaust system and create a level of emotionality that is otherwise reserved for engines with more than four cylinders.
