UVic looks at cycling to ease looming parking crisis Kyle Slavin News staff

of more than a year of informal talks among the churches and community groups about poverty and food security in the Mount Tolmie, Cedar Hill and North Dairy areas of Saanich. Most churches in the area offer food and food vouchers, and McKenzie said they’ve have seen a considerable uptick in families needing help to make end’s meet.

The University of Victoria hopes upgrades to cycling infrastructure will quell the forecasted need to build more parkades in coming years. Last week Saanich council gave the university the OK to remove 28 parking spaces to make way for 234 covered bike stalls and lockers near the University Centre. “We’re still making good progress relative to having people consider other ways to get to campus other than by vehicle,” said Neil Connelly, director of campus planning and sustainability. “Eight per cent of commuter traffic (to UVic) is cycling, and that’s somewhat stabilizing. We’re looking to add amenities to make it more attractive to bike.” In recent years, especially in 2011 as the university unsuccessfully sought approval for a sevenlevel parking garage as part of its new sports complex, parking woes at UVic became a heated topic of discussion in Saanich. UVic will need 800 new parking stalls in the next five years, according to an internal transportation study from 2008. With little land left for new buildings or parking lots, UVic has successfully lobbied Saanich council to relax parking requirements, and since 2003, the university has lost 1,400 parking stalls, either to variances or building atop existing lots.

Marlene Bergstrom, Laura Cochrane and Rev. Lyle McKenzie are part of a group trying to establish a community kitchen in the Shelbourne Valley. Three churches and two community associations signed a agreement last week to establish a formal organization with a mandate to find a location for the kitchen, and to organize its operations.

Cooks in search of a kitchen Anti-poverty group aims to create community kitchen in Shelbourne area Edward Hill News staff

The Shelbourne Community Kitchen organization has been born. All it needs now is an

actual kitchen. Three churches and two community associations in the Shelbourne Valley have officially joined forces to establish a community kitchen. The intent is to allow people to cook and share free meals together, and for the kitchen to act as a central food bank.

News staff

The province’s Independent Investigations Office is looking in to the circumstances surrounding a fatal crash in Saanich Saturday morning that involved a Victoria

and instead fled westbound on Hillside, then turned northbound onto Blanshard Street. A release from the IIO indicates Victoria police say the officer “terminated his attempt to stop the vehicle” at Hillside and Blanshard. The Acura travelled another 1.4

kilometres, when it crashed into a lamppost on the northeast corner of Blanshard and Cloverdale Avenue in Saanich. The driver of the vehicle died in the single-vehicle crash. The IIO investigates policeinvolved incidents in B.C. that

result in death or serious injury “in order to determine whether or not an officer may have committed an offence,” its website reads. The B.C. Coroners Service said the man who died is Darcy David Cole, 29, of Victoria. kslavin@saanichnews.com

“Food is a growing need. For the past one and a half or two years, demand has doubled (at the Lutheran Church) from 12 or 15 households per month now to over 30,” he said. “For the most part people have housing, but not much is left after that for food.” The three churches involved would merge their individual food and voucher pantries into one, if and when the kitchen is established. The Lutheran Church has access to a $100,000 grant for the project from the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Canada. “People will get more support than just food or vouchers,” McKenzie said. “Our intention is to offer people the opportunity to join a community and make food, and learn about healthy eating and nutrition.” Finding a kitchen could be a tall order. The group needs a space with a functioning stove or oven, and space for food preparation, dining and storage, and it needs to be relatively close to major bus lines, preferably near Shelbourne Street. “The Shelbourne area is easiest for people using the bus, if they are taking food portions away or groceries and have kids in tow,” said Laura Cochrane, who has facilitated the community kitchen discussion for the past year. “We do need a kitchen, a full kitchen isn’t essential, and 600 to 800 square feet of prep space, storage and seating.” For more on the project or to help out, see shelbournecommunitykitchen.wordpress. com or email shelbournecommunitykitchen@ gmail.com. editor@saanichnews.com

Saanich teen killed on cancer ride

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Daniel Palmer News staff

Ducks on highway lead to fender-bender

A mother duck and her chicks waddling across the Pat Bay Highway last Friday morning resulted in a two-vehicle crash, as drivers attempted to avoid hitting the birds. Around 11 a.m., a driver travelling southbound, between Royal Oak Drive and Quadra Street, noticed the ducks on the road and pumped their brakes to indicate they were slowing to a stop. The vehicle behind them was unable to stop in time, and rear-ended the first car. Saanich police Sgt. John Price said this was likely an incident of the second driver not providing a safe following distance to the first vehicle. No tickets were issued to either driver. The ducks were not harmed.

Fire damages home in Cordova Bay

A fire in Cordova Bay Thursday night that resulted in extensive damage to a home is believed to have been an electrical fire. Saanich fire crews responded to the 700-block of Destrube Pl., near Elk Lake, at 7:15 p.m. on June 13. Smoke and flames were seen coming from the home. Crews were able to successfully control and put out the fire without any injuries to firefighters or residents of the home. “It’s not suspicious. Right now what they’re looking at is possible electrical, possible dryer,” said Capt. Rich Pala. Damage to the home and contents is estimated at $100,000.

Clarification

In the story “School towers of recycling power” from Saanich News on June 12, the student managers of Royal Oak middle school recycling program are Ashley Popham, Taylor Cumming and Lara Hoffecker.

A 16-year-old Saanich resident who was killed while participating in the Ride to Conquer Cancer is being described as a popular and passionate athlete. Xavier Pelletier, a Grade 10 Pacific Christian School student, died in Arlington, Wash., on Sunday morning after he pulled into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The driver was travelling under the 55 km/hr speed limit, said Kristen Banfield, Arlington police spokeswoman. “The driver just couldn’t stop in time. It’s just a horrible accident, our hearts are broken for the family,” Banfield said. Pelletier was one of 2,600 cyclists riding from Vancouver to

Seattle for the cancer fundraising event on the weekend. The teen was active in volleyball, cycling, rugby, sailing and recently competed in a triathlon, said David O’Dell, Pacific Christian principal. “His presence here at PCS in my mind left a lasting legacy … of generosity and faithfulness, that I think is an inspiration to us all – to serve better wherever we find ourselves, and to love more deeply,” O’Dell said. Mike Gonzales, part of Team Spaghetti Factory that participated in the ride, said he felt sick to his stomach when he heard about the tragedy. The Victoria team was 20 to 30 minutes ahead of Pelletier’s group, but Gonzales said he remembers having concerns about the rider

safety on Smokey Point Boulevard, where Pelletier was killed. “I remember turning onto the road and seeing a car blasting past us,” Gonzales said. “I remember thinking, ‘This is dangerous.’ All it would take is for someone to have a slip and something nasty could happen.’ I hate to try and point any sort of finger at anyone. It’s just a sad day and a freak accident.” Douglas Nelson, president and CEO of the B.C. Cancer Foundation, said members of his organization have been at the family’s side since news of the tragedy broke. “I have personally spoken with the family and shared my condolences, and they have asked for privacy at this time,” Nelson said. Pelletier was riding with a

pack of cyclists that included his mother and uncle. Several people on social media expressed their appreciation for having worked with Pelletier at Woodwyn Farms in Saanichton, where he volunteered last summer. One commenter wrote on Facebook: “He was a great young man. I know his friends at PCS will miss him very much. I am praying for you and your family.” An Xavier Pelletier Memorial Fund has been set up to support his family cover the costs associated with the accident. Donations can be made at any RBC branch, citing transit No. 08000; institution 003 and account No. 1009570. –with reporting from Kyle Slavin dpalmer@vicnews.com

Major drug traffickers caught, released B.C. gang unit, local police target region’s top-level dealers Edward Hill News staff

B.C.’s anti-gang squad and local police agencies have busted two of the top-level drug traffickers for Greater Victoria. Police arrested a 37-year-old Langford man and a 27-year-old Saanich man on June 6, both who have a history of violent crimes and drug trafficking, and ties to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland. “These guys represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area,” said Staff Sgt. Conor King with the Victoria police. Both men have been released and no charges have been laid yet. Sgt. Lindsey Houghton, with the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit of B.C. (CFSEU-BC), expects charges to be filed within “a month or two.” CFSEU-BC officers led the investigation which culminated with the two suspects being arrested at a residence in the 2700-block of Peatt Rd. in Langford. Investigators also searched a home in the 2700-block of Claude Rd. in Langford and in the 500-block of Heatherdale Ln. in Saanich. “These guys were the two highest priority targets on Vancouver Island,” Houghton said. “What our investigators found most disturbing is that the (home) on Claude Road is in a highly populated area with families and right behind a day care.” From the three locations, officers seized 28

In the photo: 28 pounds of marijuana; two bags of crystal meth; two 1kg bricks of cocaine; 200 pills of ecstasy; a 10 L jug of GHB and an agent for cutting cocaine.

pounds of marijuana, two kilograms of cocaine, 1 kg of crystal meth, 10 L of GHB, 200 pills of ecstasy, 1 kg of an agent used to cut cocaine, 9 mm ammo, scales, a money counter and gun holsters. The bulk value of the drugs is estimated at $542,000. One of the search locations is licenced by Health Canada to grow medical marijuana, and the CFSEU is checking to see if that licence is in violation. All the bud seized came from the home with the licence. Houghton acknowledged that it is troubling that ammo and gun holsters were found, but no guns. “That is very concerning. We think guns are out there related to this,” he said. Questioned why these men, perhaps armed and described as the highest level drug traffickers in the region, were released, Houghton said it is a process of establishing a maximum number of criminal charges. “Rather than hold them on one charge we have the ability to release them and work with Crown to get many more charges,” he told reporters Thursday morning. He insisted the CFSEU has “dismantled their ability to make money and create crime,” and that officers would be watching, following and further investigating the two suspects. The Vancouver Island district emergency response team, West Shore RCMP, Victoria police, Federal Serious Organized Crime and the Saanich police assisted CFSEU-BC during the arrests. King said these suspects would sell to midlevel Greater Victoria dealers who purchased drugs “in quasi-bulk,” who then fed the street level or dial-a-dope dealers. He said it was feasible the two men would move the volume of drugs on display within a month.

Choose Your Carts for Greener Garbage Collection To help us meet the food waste ban at the landfill, Saanich residential garbage customers will be asked to divert kitchen scraps from their household garbage for pick up in a separate organics recycling cart starting Spring 2014. Yard trimmings can be added to the organics cart too. And best of all, you’re invited to choose carts that work best for you. It’s a greener, cleaner, easy way to recycle. For details, watch for your cart selection card in the mail or visit saanich.ca/greenergarbage

For its 10th anniversary, Cordova Bay Day is expanding its venues and bringing in a bit more of everything for its community celebration. The party this year is split between the St. David By the Sea church and a few blocks south, Cordova Bay Plaza. The church hall and grounds will host about 25 crafts tables and nonprofit displays, while the plaza will be the base for a vintage car show, food and live music. “We thought because it’s the 10th anniversary, we’d do it a bit bigger,” said Larry Gontovnick. Gontovnick, Sylvia Burkhardt and Randy Otto, all with the Cordova Bay Association for Community Affairs, are the threeperson volunteer crew organizing Cordova Bay Day. Organizing the day – wrangling vendors, food, musicians, an appearance by the Saanich fire department – is a lot of work, they say, but its a community worth supporting. And someone needed to step up. “We’ve been at it consistently for the past few months, but the last few weeks have been hectic,” Gontovnick said.

“We’re doing it because we want to give back to the community,” Otto said, “and some of us at the Cordova Bay meeting put our hands up.” The celebration expects to draw 30 or 40 vintage cars from a number of eras, and people can expect an afternoon of live blues music and a brass band. Gontovnick said the event is always appreciated in the community, but the amount of people that attend is largely dictated by the weather. The event helps to highlight the Cordova Bay Association, which most recently has donated students at Claremont, Haliburton Farms and the Cordova Bay Seniors 55 Plus Association. Otto stresses that fundraising plays a small part of the day. “The mandate isn’t to make money, the purpose is to provide a community celebration for Cordova Bay, where neighbours meet neighbours,” he said. “The goal (for the association) is to break even and put on a good day and a good celebration.” Cordova Bay Day is Saturday, June 22, at the St. David By the Sea Anglican Church (5182 Cordova Bay Rd.) and at the Cordova Bay Plaza (5142 Cordova Bay Rd.)

Residents asked to pick green bin

Saanich is asking residents to select their preferred size of bin for kitchen scraps recycling, which starts in the spring of 2014. A “Greener Garbage Cart Selection Card” should arrive in the mail this week. Saanich is asking it be filled out and returned by July 5. The default green bin is 120 litre ($35 per year), but residents can opt for an 80L ($25/year) or 180L ($70/year) bin. The green bins can accept food waste,soiled papers and yard trimmings. Next year Saanich is changing to automated curbside garbage pickup, meaning residents need to take their green bins and garbage bins to the curb. Assistance programs will be provided to residents who have mobility challenges and are not able to place their carts curbside on collection day. Residents are asked to apply for assistance by completing the “Assistance Program” section on their selection card. See saanich.ca/ greenergarbage, email greenergarbage@ saanich.ca or call 250475-5533 for more on changes to waste pickup in 2014.

Guide dog gives sense of security Daniel Palmer News staff

Robert Gill is terrified of living alone. His anxiety stems not from being the victim of assault or robbery, although Gill would argue his illness inflicts a similar psychological toll. Instead, it’s Gill’s epilepsy, a seizure-inducing brain disease, that shattered his sense of security four years ago and continues to prevent him from everyday considerations like taking a secluded vacation or managing a high-stress job. “The first time I had a seizure, the hospital put me into an induced coma for three weeks to let my brain relax,” he says. Lately, the seizures have been occurring monthly in addition to complications brought on from multiple sclerosis. Yet Gill, 40, does live alone, save for his two-year-old black Labrador, Naveed. She moved in last week, the 2,000th lifesaving guide dog trained by the Lions Foundation of Canada and the second dog gifted to Gill. His last canine companion, Starsky, retired two weeks ago. Thanks to $25,000 in training from experts at the Lions Foundation’s facility in Oakville, Ont., Naveed is

an expert in emergency response. When Gill suffers a seizure, the dog immediately slaps a lifeline disc on the floor of his bachelor apartment, and paramedics arrive within four minutes. “She’s a response animal, so if I’m outside and have a seizure, she’ll sit beside me and bark until someone comes to help. And if I need the phone, she’ll come bring it to me,” he says. Gill and Naveed spent nine days training together under supervision in Oakville before returning to Saanich. His voice carries the emotion of a man given a new lease on life as he praises the generosity of the Lions Foundation and its donors. “They’ve given independence to 2,000 people at no charge,” he says. “I just have an enormous amount of appreciation, because I really do have independence because of what they’ve given me.” The Lions Foundation has been training dog guides for people with visual disabilities since 1985. Dogs are trained as guides for people with hearing and physical disabilities, epilepsy, autism and diabetes. The foundation receives no government funding. See dogguides.com.

In April 2006, the university touted its transportation demand management plan (TDM) to the council of the day while asking for a 254-stall parking variance. Last week Coun. Vic Derman defended council’s continued support for more variances, despite a forecasted need for more parking: “Their transportation demand management program has really cut down the amount of traffic coming to campus – that’s good for me, because whatever traffic goes to UVic, most comes on Saanich roads.” While supply and demand for parking on campus fluctuates, Connelly says the existing parking lots are never completely full. “There’s always space on campus to park – in some cases it may be a little further than people’s destinations lie. But certainly outlying lots and other lots are meeting that demand,” he said. “It’s something we monitor quite closely. We want to ensure there isn’t a spillover into the neighbourhoods.” Connelly says the university is now doing what it can to minimize the need for more parkades. UVic faced area resident outrage against a proposed 503-stall structure at the now under-construction Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities. That was scrapped for a much smaller 234space parkade. “It’s recognized that our campus is not particularly large, and as it’s grown over the years, our vacant spaces or spaces to develop are harder to come by, making planning decisions around those much more critical,” he said. The university is also having ongoing discussions with B.C. Transit to create a larger bus loop, tentatively slated for September 2014. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Media photo-op just not enough W

hen police and B.C’s anti-gang squad busted two of Greater Victoria’s “toplevel” suspected drug traffickers recently, they held a press conference and laid out a large quantity of drugs and paraphernalia for photographers and news media to record. Public safety Police were proud to at risk with drug display their bounty, suspects at large saying it “dismantled (the suspect’s) ability to make money and create crime.” But much like a fishing expedition, the suspects were caught and released, like large trophy fish, back to society. The reason, police say, is to allow investigators time to establish a maximum number of criminal charges. Police further stated they are “concerned” that both ammunition and gun holsters were found, but no weapons. Can we surmise from this then, that these two “highest priority targets on Vancouver Island,” who supposedly operated their growop-come-drug storage operations in heavily populated neighbourhoods filled with families and children, are now out and about with weapons? Police admit the two suspects have a history of violent crime, drug trafficking and connections to organized drug crime in the Lower Mainland. How can the public have any confidence in our justice system, if, after the arrest of suspected criminals police say “represent the top of the food chain for the Greater Victoria area,” they are allowed to walk away – even if only temporarily and under a close watch? The police may have made a dent in their operations, but there is no doubt that these two highly organized, apparently successful drug dealers will be able to pick up where they left off with the help of lesser-known and lesswatched associates. The arrest of suspects at that level needs to be more than simply a photo-op for police. The public deserves to know that along with taking the drugs off the street, the people behind the drugs are off the street as well. What do you think?

And the three-province project now called “New West Partnership” will continue to dismantle archaic interprovincial barriers. Why would the NDP be secretly against that? Because it’s also a “labour mobility” agreement. This harkens back to a supposed golden age in Canada, when two corporate titans shared the beer business, producing identical bland lager from identical factories in identical stubby bottles. Inter-provincial trade in these stubbies was strictly forbidden, requiring each province to have a big unionized brewery to make uniformly bad beer for the proletariat. This is the power of a monopoly union. And because of it, this was how governments tried to “create jobs.” It’s a bygone era to which many core NDP supporters stubbornly cling. This explains the party’s revival of a “job protection commissioner” for forestry. Which brings us to the proverbial root cause of the B.C. NDP’s woes. Its largest financial donor is the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which donated $1.4 million to the party in the past eight years, nosing out the Canadian Union of Public Employees and the Hospital Employees’ Union. Former HEU and BCGEU presidents now sit in the NDP caucus, critics for health and “green” jobs respectively. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

LETTERS Saanich runs risk of no community garden

Weaver taking aim at natural gas exports

Re: Group pushes for community garden in Royal Oak, (News, June 12) Saanich Allotment Garden Advocates (SAGA) will work with Saanich and residents to get a public community garden up and running in Royal Oak, at any site approved by residents and Saanich council. Our focus is not on any one site in any one area, but to promote community gardening across Saanich. This particular site (between Royal Oak Centre and the Pat Bay Highway) appears to have strong Royal Oak community and business support for “green” use. At a meeting in 2013, the membership of Royal Oak Community Association (ROCA) voted 17 to 3 on a motion to request Saanich include this site on its list of potential contenders for a community garden. More people who could not attend the meeting wrote in to express support. This is definitely not members being “indifferent at best” as reported by ROCA president Paul Whitworth, or “Royal Oak (Community Association) doesn’t support it,” as quoted by Mayor Frank Leonard. ROCA executive may not support consideration of the site, but the membership definitely does. At one time, even Saanich considered this site for “green” use, hiring CitySpaces Consultants to engage residents in discussion. Recently, Saanich did propose a potential site for a community garden in Royal Oak, on land adjacent to Commonwealth Place. Results of a survey done by Saanich (open to anyone anywhere) apparently show a majority of respondents do not support that site for a garden; and Saanich will not proceed. Nor, it seems, will Saanich consider a site residents do show approval of. The end result is no community garden in Royal Oak. Marsha Henderson Saanich Allotment Garden Advocates

Re: Weaver sworn in as first Green MLA (News, June 12) For the plurality of Oak Bay–Gordon Head voters who elected Andrew Weaver it is no doubt fitting that he was ahead the other 84 MLAs in taking the oath of office. With a PhD in applied mathematics, as a UVic professor (now on political leave), and as the lead climate scientist of the panel that shared the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with former U.S. vice-president Al Gore, Weaver has (risking understatement) unique qualifications. As a newbie, can he adjust to the unique economic realities of provincial politics? Weaver’s priorities may be evident in the titles of his published books; Keeping our Cool: Canada in a Warming World; and Generation Us: The Challenge of Global Warming. Will his emphasis on global warming further prejudice his already limited influence as a lone-wolf MLA? Despite a commitment “to do policy, not to fight,” and for behind the scenes collaboration, Weaver has already announced his intention to press the government on its agenda to develop the liquefied natural gas exports which are of core importance in Premier Christy Clark’s promotion of the world-class north-east B.C. natural gas resources. It’s unfortunate that Weaver’s first economic policy gambit as an MLA is an attack on the cleanest of fossil fuels and potentially massive exportearnings. Let’s not forgo the associated federal and provincial tax revenues, regional government fees and taxes, plus significant longterm employment opportunities presented by a made-in-B.C.

development opportunity. The 2007 Nobel Peace Prize was based on climate change prognostication. There does not appear to be a Nobel Prize in economics on the horizon. Ron Johnson Saanich

Time to reinvent Oak Bay Tea Party Growing up in Oak Bay, I’ve had the pleasure of attending the Oak Bay Tea Party festivities for over 40 years. There are many traditions in this event and it is a pleasure for me that this community has a penchant for holding onto many of them. However; there comes a time when some decisions need to be rethought and we part ways with a tradition. For me, the exclusion of the rides and midway activities in the tea party weekend is a decision that I’d like to see given serious consideration for next year. The exorbitant pricing of the rides and lack of any “game” to the midway overshadowed what is otherwise a milestone event in the community. I don’t believe that the cost for my family to participate in the rides equates to any sort of positive return. It’s a blow to the wallet, but gets worse when you find the experience of most rides is alarmingly short. Yes, there were a lot of screams of delight at Willow’s park that weekend. Many families were enjoying the experience. But, as a value for money proposition, this commercial enterprise is not one that I’d like to see supported by our community. It’s time to reinvent how the Oak Bay Tea Party utilizes the space next year. Jim Nicoll Oak Bay

BERWICK HOUSE and BERWICK ROYAL OAK

Dragon boat season starts

Don Descoteau News staff

It’s kind of like a threeheaded dragon, just not as scary. The annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival features the races themselves, which attract 2,500 or so competitors to the Inner Harbour for one mid-summer weekend. The event, set for Aug. 16 to 18, also features a cultural, food and small business component centred at Ship Point. Then there’s the piece that tugs the heart strings: fundraising for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “The festival has raised $438,000 over five years for the foundation, and the great thing is all the money stays in Victoria,” said Mark Mawhinney,

board chair for the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Society. The society hosted a kickoff breakfast last week at The Inn at Laurel Point to talk about supporting local business as well as how the races encourages fitness and health. The competition provides a boost to the local economy – of the 2,500 paddlers about 1,500 will arrive from out of town, staying two or three nights or more and filling up hotels. As well, Mawhinney said, an estimated 90,000 people will watch the races, take in musical and cultural entertainment and browse through the multitude of onsite vendor offerings. While the festival is free for the public to attend, Mawhinney is proud of the fact the society is mainly self-sufficient and does not rely on govern-

ment funding to stay afloat, so to speak. Operating money comes primarily from paddlers’ entry fees, while sponsorships and any grant money secured goes toward paying co-op students to stage the weekend events. It’s clear from the number of teams entering this competition – upwards of 80 boatloads are expected for this year’s 19th annual festival – that the sport has taken off. “It’s really the most accessible sport that I’ve ever been involved in,” says Glenys Haskins, the society’s general manager and a paddler herself. “With dragon boating, it’s a sport that you feel like a winner all the way through.” For more information on the festival, visit victoriadragonboat.com.

They are Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island and cover the entire geographic area,” Hughes said. Hughes will begin her duties with the foundation on July 22, currently she is the CEO of United Way. “Working with United Way has been an amazing way to get to know the community,” Hughes said. “United way also has a focus in children and youth.

Discover the truth about jazz Charla Huber News staff

Jazz ain’t what you think. The slogan for this year’s toe-tapping, finger-snapping dedication to jazz music, says it all. “Jazz is what you feel,” said TD Victoria International Jazz Festival producer Darryl Mar. “Jazz is very broad and encompasses all styles of music. Some people think it’s all improvised or avant garde, but that’s not it.” With an assortment of musicians moulding the festival, Mar’s best advice is simple. “If you’ve never been here before, you need to come out, open your ears and listen to music.” One act Mar won’t miss is Bettye LaVette’s show, June 21 at the Royal Theatre. “I have been trying to get her here for five years,” he said eagerly. LaVette started her career in 1962 at age 16. She toured with big-name musicians including Otis Redding and James Brown.

The Victoria Jazz Society presents Betty LaVette live with David Vest at the Royal Theatre for the TD Victoria International Jazz Festival this Friday (June 21). Photo contributed

Throughout the 10-day festival more than 350 musicians will perform and it’s a lot of work organizing and booking all the talent. “In October we will start booking for next year’s Jazz Fest,” Mar said. This year, the festival is welcoming a slew of new

musicians including Boi Akih, Serena Ryder and Macy Gray. A new venue this year is the Smoken Bones Cookshack for late night jam sessions. The restaurant, located in The Hudson building, will host the Ashley Wey Trio and the Kelby MacNayr Trio. After a threeyear hiatus, Sugar Nightclub is back on the festival venue list. The Boom Booms, Lee Field and The Expressions, Vieux Farka Touré, Ganga Giri and Tinsley Ellis are all playing at the club. Other popular venues include the Royal

Theatre, Alix Goolden Hall and Victoria Event Centre. “Of the over 80 performances, 24 of them are absolutely free,” Mar said about the shows held at Centennial Square. All of the performances at the downtown venue are free, wuth the exception of Five Alarm Funk ($18) on June 23 and Red Baratt ($28) on June 27. Both shows are at 7 p.m. The festival is also hosting free workshops, but attendees are required to pre-register. The workshops are hosted by Vijay Iyer Trio, Kellylee Evans, Jon Cleary, Patricia Barber and Gabriel Alegria. The TD Victoria International Jazz Festival runs from June 21 to 30. For more information or to register for the workshops call 250-388-4423 or go to jazzvictoria.ca. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Olga Mosca and Logan Volkers with Victoria’s Salsa Caliente have been dancing together less than six months. But in their first competition, June 7, they beat out far more experienced dancers to win Victoria’s amateur championship. The couple moved on to the Northwest Qualifiers for the World Latin Cup in Portland, Oregon last weekend where they competed against dancers from Washington, Oregon, Idaho and California for a chance to move on to the World Latin Cup, to be held in Miami in December. Mosca and Volkers were responsible for editing their own music, choreographing their own routine, making their own costumes and rehearsing until the competition. Since their win in Victoria, they had the opportunity to train with world famous choreographer and judge, Nelson Flores from New York, and trained with Christina Morrison from Salsa Caliente, also a World Salsa Open Judge, until the competition. Results of the Northwest Qualifiers were not known at the News deadline. Visit CalienteDance. com for more information. llavin@vicnews.com

This dragon flies

Crew love Van Isle 360 experience Travis Paterson News staff

Sailing the Dragonfly is not about winning, it’s about racing. The boat, you see, is built for one thing: all-out speed. The fun comes in sailing it, a challenging task on the volatile high seas off Vancouver Island. A five-time winner of the Black Press Van Isle 360° International Yacht Race, Dragonfly has lived a rich life, and is be passing through town this week as the 42 competing yachts enter Victoria for stage 10 of this year’s 11-stage race that circumnavigates Vancouver Island. “We love the boat and are fortunate to have won the race, but the Van Isle 360 is about the people on the stops along the way. That’s what makes it worth doing and why we come back,” said owner Richard Ackrill. To say the boat is fast is an understatement. Dragonfly’s been the fastest overall in the Van Isle 360 all but once in six years. Dragonfly is more than just the fastest catamaran around, it’s also one of the biggest. At 52 feet long, Ackrill can have a hard time finding a place to keep her. During the offseason, Dragonfly lives near Everett, Wash., where it’s lovingly tended to by its previous owner in a spot that can accommodate it. But it’s been in Victoria since it participated in the

Swiftsure race last month. This week Dragonfly is off in search of another Van Isle 360 win, as the race which began on June 8 enters its final two days, June 21 to 22, from Victoria to Nanaimo. “I first joined the crew for the outer legs of this race in 2001 and loved it,” Ackrill said.

The last leg ■ A final briefing for the skippers and crews will happen at the Strathcona Hotel on June 20 at 6:30 p.m. in preparation for the final two legs of the 11 stage race, June 21-22. ■ Victoria to Nanaimo is the most valuable leg in terms of scoring. ■ Navigators and skippers assess weather forcasts, tidal predictions and local knowledge to determine the best route through the Gulf Islands.

The owner at that time, Pat McGarry, sold it to a Florida owner but it soon became available once more and Ackrill jumped at the opportunity to keep it here. “We all missed (the boat) so much, I talked to Pat McGarry, who was working at a marine company in Washington, about using the facilities to store it if I bought it back,” Ackrill said. “So I bought it and to this day we actually use a huge forklift to pull the boat out of the water near Everett, where it lives.” Ackrill handles the helm some of the time, as well as sail trim and tactics. The crew of five includes

McGarry handling most of the helm duties, Sandy Dick on mainsail, Nick Banks on navigation and tactics and Gord Irving on the foredeck. The boat will likely be in the running to win the Van Isle 360 this week but the stories are more often based on the time spent visiting stops along the way, Ackrill said. The race includes social events during the off days: a stop at a fish farm where 400 people dine on salmon near Hardwick Island, a stop at Telegraph Cove and a day in Winter Harbour where 25 winter residents and summer residents put on a midday banquet. “Everyone in the community lends a hand to put that on. We just love it,” Ackrill said.

Thunder rolling with football Travis Paterson News staff

Travis Paterson/News staff

Grade 11 student Noah Johnson will spend his senior year as a rookie on Spectrum Thunder football team.

The Spectrum Community school Thunder is poised to take its licks as the city’s third high school football program. As the new kid on the block, it will be a few years of growing pains before the Thunder can compete with the Mount Douglas Rams and Belmont Bulldogs. The Thunder played its first exhibition game on June 7, a 45-8 drubbing at the hands of Belmont. “Not bad for a group of guys who just started this spring,” said Spectrum head coach Roy Vollinger. It was the first taste of game action for most of the 40 players who will carry the Thunder in its inaugural junior and senior team seasons. There is no better example of what can come of the Thunder than the

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.

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
