City eyes whistleblower protection City of Victoria expected to have formal policy by this fall Daniel Palmer News staff
Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin believes a new policy to protect whistleblowers at City Hall will help strengthen public faith in city operations. The policy is being developed in response to a slate of recommendations presented to council by the City’s external auditor, KPMG, in April. “You want to ensure that employees are confident that their concerns will be taken seriously, and that if they bring forward a concern, it will not jeopardize them in any way,” Fortin said. “By putting it into a formal policy, it’s something employees and residents can rely on.” While the provincial and federal governments have whistleblower policies in place, only a select number of Island municipalities have done the same. Central Saanich developed its whistleblower policy in 2006 as part of a code of ethics for employees. In addition to providing confidentiality assurances, the policy requires that the mayor is notified of any concerns and an investigation is launched in a timely manner. Victoria’s policy will similarly protect staff who bring forward concerns of fraudulent financial reporting, false overtime claims and other potential misconduct inside City Hall. “I think it’s about time,” said John Burrows, president of CUPE local 50, the union representing City of Victoria employees. “It’s been kind of a missing link with municipal employees, and it gives people a comfort zone to come forward.” Fortin said a whistleblower policy will also clearly illustrate the steps that need to be taken by management and councillors in the event of concerns being raised.

Unravelling a mystery A worldwide search expands to find Craigdarroch Castle’s original building plans
Don Descoteau Reporting
L
ife as a museum curator sometimes mirrors that of a cold-case detective. You spend months, years even, chasing down leads, hoping for a break that sheds new light on a case or a story. For Craigdarroch Castle curator Bruce Davies, all clues have so far led to dead ends in his search for the building’s original plans. “It’s always like that with the castle,” he said with a sigh, surrounded by books, binders, files and assorted historical photos in his third-floor, back room office in the former Dunsmuir mansion. “There’ll be some little bit of information and you feel like you’re there – then nothing.” One such instance came when it was learned David Williams, son of the home’s purported architect, Warren H. Williams, displayed two exhibits on Craigdarroch in Portland, Ore. in 1908. While for many years it was believed the exhibits contained the actual building plans from 1889, the year before the home was completed, later scrutiny this year found they were early presentation drawings only, not the final plans. Not only are the whereabouts of the architectural plans a mystery, there is a dearth of other information about the inside of the mansion. Such details as how the Dunsmuirs furnished the castle, the

Craigdarroch Castle executive director John Hughes, left, and curator Bruce Davies are on the search for the mansion’s original building plans. “There’ll be some little bit of information and you feel like you’re there – then nothing,” says Davies. layout of the original kitchen and where certain doorways were situated, for example, are largely unavailable. Incredibly, only one photo remains of the family in the home: that of Robert and Joan Dunsmuir’s daughters playing music. And working with the handful of direct descendants to get information has proven largely fruitless. Despite making the occasional connection over the years that
has led to better information on physical facets of the mansion – not long ago Davies discovered the original design of a main-floor stained glass window – the logistical problems can be rather vexing when your mandate is to represent the building in as historically accurate a way as possible. “I’m pretty patient, but it just becomes worrying, the thought of doing something wrong,” Davies said of setting up a room
or display based on best guesses. “It’s just conjecture. People come to museum to see the truth.” Further challenging the idea of returning the castle to its original state is the fact it has been used for several different purposes since Joan Dunsmuir died in 1908 and the property was sold. It’s been a military hospital, housed Victoria College and school board offices and is the former home of the Victoria Con-
servatory of Music. John Hughes is executive director of the Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society, which runs and maintains the site. While the story of the building’s various functions is told onsite, he said, most visitors come expecting to see “Downton Abbey,” not a plainly appointed office building. Hughes, Davies and Elizabeth Hazell, manager of operations and development, are working a different angle to try and shed new light into the mystery of the missing plans, using the society’s well-read website and social media to cast the research net a little wider. Davies has written an essay entitled, Canada’s Craigdarroch Castle: Where are the original building plans? It talks about the Williams family, Arthur L. Smith – said to have overseen the project after Warren H. Williams’ death in 1888 – and their career paths and offers clues as to where the plans may have ended up. The essay is in PDF format on the website (thecastle.ca) and it is being distributed to various architectural associations and other possible sources related to the two men, in hopes someone might take another look at that pile of papers in the basement or perhaps a dusty old file cabinet. “Maybe there’s a conversation out there that’s waiting to happen,” Hughes said. “If nothing else, it tells people what we’re doing.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

like to see improved, how can we entice them to stay longer and what makes their visits easy or difficult.” The museum’s goal is to improve the preservation and safe storage of its massive collection, through everything from seismic upgrades to technology improvements in the buildings housing the artifacts. The RBCM has contracted the internationally renowned London, England-based firm of John McAslan to serve as lead architect for the project. McAslan and company have worked on such projects as King’s Cross Station in London and the Iron Market in Haiti. Victoria-based Merrick Architecture is working closely with McAslan and the museum to develop and interpret visions created for the project. The master plan for the project, which also involves the B.C. Archives next to the museum, is expected to be completed by September. The stated objective is to see significant changes to the buildings by 2017 and full completion of the plan by 2021. A record of feedback from Saturday’s session and those in communities around the province will be created, and a web presence also goes live June 22, for people to comment electronically. “We really want to hear the dialogue, for good or bad,” Williams said. “This is the people’s institution and we have to be able to accept comments and suggestions.” The consultation happens from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. For more information on the museum, visit royalbcmuseum.bc.ca. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Solar Colwood expands to Greater Victoria households
Whistleblower policy needed, say critics
Kyle Wells
Ross Crockford, a stalwart critic of the City’s initial inaccurate cost estimates for the Johnson Street Bridge project, said the policy will only be useful if staff are compelled to come forward by keeping councillors in the loop on all city operations. “I’m interested in seeing whether they’re going to create a code of conduct and what that says, because there have been a bunch of situations with the (Johnson Street) bridge where it’s become apparent after the fact that staff knew certain things were going wonky and didn’t tell council,” Crockford said. Burrows said the primary goal of any whistleblower policy is to control spending and shed light on potential “tax-dollar wasting enterprises.” Council is expected to see the final whistleblower policy, an employee code of conduct and recommendations to improve internal auditing procedures this fall. dpalmer@vicnews.com

After some rejigging, Colwood council passed a previously rejected proposal to expand the Solar Colwood program’s boundaries and timeframe. Council approved extending the deadline of the program to March 2015. Also approved is an expansion of the program’s solar hot water heater grants to the entire Capital Regional District. All changes must still be approved by Natural Resources Canada. The extensions are hoped to be in place this fall. The program offers $3,000 to help homeowners pay for up to one-third of the cost for a solar hot water heater, which can help households save on electricity costs. The boundary expansion is in partnership with the CRD, which will take on region-wide marketing. A small administration fee will help Colwood recover any costs. The one-year extension is mainly to allow the Capital City Centre development and the two new high schools being built on the West Shore to use the program.

Learn to Swim for Life

Esquimalt man on a roll for his daughter Mike List plans to do wheelchair marathon this weekend Edward Hill News staff
Swimming is a skill for life. It is another way to look at life. If you make the choice to learn to swim you could save your life and possibly the life of someone else. Learning to swim opens up a variety of other water sports to play and provides a lifetime of health and fitness opportunities. Register your children in Red Cross Swim Lessons. They will learn valuable lifesaving skills and how to make wise choices around the water. Give them confidence when in and around the water. This summer join us for swimming lessons for all ages, including adults. At Saanich Commonwealth Place and Gordon Head our staff are trained and certified to give you swimming skills for life! For more information pick up our Active Living Guide and call one of our Saanich Recreation Centres or look online at www.saanichrec.ca
When most people in Victoria are sound asleep early Sunday morning, Mike List will be on the University of Victoria stadium track, grinding out lap after lap in a wheelchair. The 52-year-old truck driver and father of three daughters is taking the Easter Seals 24 Hour Relay for the Kids to heart. He’ll take breaks here and there, but List plans to wheel himself around the Centennial Stadium track from 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday, a 24-hour ride. List doesn’t use a wheelchair, but he’s taking on the marathon roll to better empathize with his daughter Amanda, 20, who has spina bifida and is confined to a wheelchair. “She has gone through surgery more than 30 times. It hits me hard,” List said. “I decided I felt it’s my responsibility to wheel a mile in her shoes, to get a feeling of what she goes through mentally and physically every day.” List conceived of the idea nine years ago, after wheeling the TC10K in honour of his daughter, but that wasn’t challenge enough. The stars aligned this year for the busy dad to start training again.
Most days he and his chair could be found on the running track at Oak Bay High School, pushing through what he described as incredibly boring hours of training. “I always wanted to do 24 hours, but I procrastinated. Now nine years later because we started going to the gym, it’s the perfect time to do it,” he said. “All three of my girls inspire me. With Amanda and all she has been through inspires us all. She inspired me to push a little further. The 10K was a taste. This will push me to the limit.” The 24-hour relay raises money for Easter Seals Camp Shawnigan, a camp for kids with disabilities, and typically most teams operate in a relay looping the running track and Ring Road. Team Wheels for Seals will have List’s friends and family as support, but the Esquimalt man plans to be on the track for 24 hours. They’ll have extra chairs for people to participate, and he’s encouraging anyone – especially special needs people – to roll with him for a lap or two. Amanda will join him for his first and last laps. “Mentally, a lot of inspiring things will keep me going. A close friend has recently passed away, I’ve got a team shirt for Baby Molly. My three daughters will be pushing me until 10 a.m. Sunday morning.” After training for three months, List is now physically fit – “this (wheelchair) has become part of

me,” he said while popping wheelies at the Oak Bay track – but the challenge at UVic will be a mental game. “I’m looking forward to the adrenaline, the atmosphere and the people and won’t think of the pain – I’m hoping. The first few laps I think I’ll feel it, then I’ll go numb. “It’s one, two, three, four in the morning I’m concerned about. I’ve got a portable DVD player I’ll velcro to my lap. I’ve got a few ideas to keep me going.” This 19th annual relay has 29 registered teams, down from last year, said Craig Heinz with the B.C. Lions Society for Children with Disabilities, a sponsor of Camp Shawnigan.
“This year may have less teams, but most have been part of the event for two three or four years,” Heinz said. “We’ve seen a drop in teams, but the fundraising is holding steady for the past few years.” Last year the 24-hour relay in Victoria raised $464,400. The 24-Hour Relay for the Kids starts 10 a.m. on Saturday at UVic’s Centennial Stadium. The public is invited to participate until 8 p.m. For more information or to donate, see 24hourrelay.com.

Put the brakes on heritage loss Time, as they say, is fleeting and history never stops being created. In families, when elders pass on, the ability to glean information about the past or stories from the family’s history is lost. A similar problem presents itself within the architectural and museum world. Without photos of what once stood or how a building looked inside, and in the absence of original drawings or plans, it’s tough to accurately restore a structure or portray an original setting. Since 1979, when former building lessee the Victoria Conservatory of Music found another location, the Craigdarroch Castle Historical Museum Society has done its best to offer visitors a taste of life at the turn of the 20th century, when the wealthy Dunsmuir family resided at the grand sandstone mansion high atop Victoria’s Rockland neighbourhood. Unable to track down the building’s original plans and hamstrung by a scarcity of photos from the Dunsmuir era at the castle, the staff and society volunteers are left to essentially guess how the family might have furnished, decorated and used the multitude of rooms. Similarly, Parks Canada has information on the first and last keepers of the Fisgard Lighthouse beside Fort Rodd Hill. The names of the 10 keepers in between are known, but no photos of them have been found and little information is known about their lives. On its web page for the fort and lighthouse, Parks Canada (bit.ly/11McqJc) asks the public to contribute any information it might have about the lighthouse keepers. The folks at Craigdarroch are making a similar plea to the public (thecastle.ca/buildingplans) for any information that might lead to finding the architectural plans for the castle. These are just a few examples of how details of our personal, community and built histories can be lost if action is not taken to protect it. Our heritage can be perpetuated by recording the stories of our elders, donating old photos or heirlooms to museums or groups committed to preserving them, and by supporting those institutions that are committed to the task.

Guy Dauncey, the celebrated author and sustainability advocate, provided 16 specific measures to help undergird the green economy in Victoria. The choice is clear. We could go on pumping a billion dollars into fossil fuels each year – money this profitable industry doesn’t need. Or we could use that same money to create thousands of green jobs and jumpstart a transition toward loweremission energies for the future. Building the green economy is possible and we must learn about the practical steps we can take right away to make it happen.

Regional shout-out given to CRD arts program funders Re: Spread the costs of festival funding (Our View, June 14) I am writing to clarify that the municipalities of Saanich, Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and View Royal are all significant contributors to the Capital Regional District Arts Development Programs. Highlands, Sidney and Metchosin contribute smaller
amounts, but it is true that Sooke, Langford and Colwood on the West Shore, do not contribute to CRD arts funding, nor do North Saanich or Central Saanich. We do hope that all CRD municipalities will contribute in the future, as their citizens surely enjoy many of the CRD-funded festivals in Victoria’s downtown core. With more funding, arts organizations
could do much more. We share the News’ view that local governments ought to share the costs of cultural events that help make downtown Victoria a vibrant hub and stimulate the local economy. Peter Sandmark executive director ProArt Alliance of Greater Victoria
Readers respond: Cat in the Hat, PM as king, deer Dr. Seuss’ 1950s visit left a fond memory Re: Lost for decades, original Cat in the Hat returned to children’s hospital in Saanich (vicnews.com) I spent several months recuperating in the Queen Alexandra Solarium (as it was then called) in the late 1950s. One of my fondest memories of that time was the day Dr. Seuss (Theodore Geisel) came to visit. All the mobile children were assembled in the auditorium, and the good doctor opened a big box of coloured chalk and proceeded to fill the large blackboard with one of his fantastic creatures. He asked each child to describe a part – tail, feet, eyes, wings, etc. (I chose big, round and fuzzy purple ears) – and he would add that part, until we had all made a selection and the board was filled. It was weeks before the staff dared erase our beautiful beast. He also donated a copy of his famous Cat in the Hat, which I particularly enjoyed, as my mother had been reading me his short stories from her Redbook magazines when she came to visit. His books saved many of us children from many a rainy afternoon. So heartfelt thanks from a former patient to the good doctors: Dr. Seuss for his works, and Dr. O’Connor for his generosity. J.D. Mahovlic Victoria
Separation would yield better government Re: Image of PM as king hit right on the mark (Letters, vicnews.com) With or without clothes, King Stephen rules supreme in Ottawa. The autocratic centralization of both executive and legislative powers in the Prime Minister’s Office (PMO) has effectively hollowed
parliament’s role, with the dictates of caucus solidarity suffocating the regional voices of individual MPs by rigid party discipline, and demanding sheeplike obedience. To correct Canada’s democracy deficit, separation of the executive branch (PMO) and legislative branch (parliament) would achieve a functional system of muchneeded political checks and balances. But that may be just a tad too “republican” for this democratically challenged “Kingdom” of ours. E.W. Bopp Tsawwassen
Simple solution to deer problems I can’t understand how everyone who attended the recent town hall meeting in Oak Bay on what to do about deer in that municipality somehow missed the most obvious solution to this problem. Oak Bay council should simply pass a bylaw requiring any deer coming into Oak Bay to wear tweed jackets so they would blend in with the local population. Then hardly anyone would notice them.

VicPD Deputy Chief John Ducker … logic questioned. to all comers. Why isn’t Victoria using property taxes from those businesses for the extra policing needed? By the way, Frank Leonard is also wrong on Victoria’s closing of neighbourhood police offices. When I checked recently, the police office adjacent to the Esquimalt firehall is still open and staffed on weekdays – live interacting people were there. Perhaps Leonard listened to Esquimalt politicians who cannot see the half block from city hall to that police office, even with those quite visible Victoria police vehicles sometimes there. The big question is why voters elect stumbling politicians like Desjardins, Fortin and Leonard, who are unwilling to perform their duty. The reason for government is protection of the individual. Police are the front line of that protection. In digging into the bunfight, as you should, consider the possibility that many mayors and councils want power themselves instead of co-operation. On several subjects, Frank Leonard seems to be pandering to those who almost defeated him in the last election – neoMarxists, who oppose policing. Puzzling. Keith Sketchley Saanich

Barbecue a handy prize for our contest winner Catching a 11.5-kilogram spring salmon with her dad after a day-long fishing trip was the epitome of happy father-daughter experiences for Cheyenne Duguay. The 16-year-old Saanich Peninsula resident submitted a photo of herself and her dad, Dan, with the prize fish they landed at the mouth of Victoria Harbour after six hours in the boat, for Black Press’ online Father’s Day Barbecue Giveaway. “What a surprise after six hours without a bite, and then finally landing this amazing and very tasty salmon,” she wrote in her submission. Duguay’s entry, one of more than 100 photographic entries received of people with their dads, was selected at random as the winner. She received a Weber charcoal barbecue and bag of charcoal briquets, courtesy of Capital Iron, along with a $100 gift card to Glenwood Meats in Langford.

UVic looks at cycling to ease looming parking crisis Existing parking meets demand, university says Kyle Slavin News staff
transportation demand management plan 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 said the existing 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.” The university is doing what it can to minimize the need for more parkades, he added. Area residents voived outrage at a proposed 503-stall structure at the Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities now under construction. That was scrapped for a 234-space parkade.
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 University Centre. “We’re still making good progress The Original Home Improvement Specialists relative to having people consider other ways to get to Under campus other than by vehicle,” said Neil New Connelly, director of campus planning and Ownership sustainability. “Eight per cent of commuter traffic (to UVic) is cycling, and that’s somewhat stabilizing.

Unsung Victoria artist brought to light Edward Hill News staff
Her name headlines a prominent Vancouver art school, and gallery space across Canada is devoted to her work. Emily Carr by most measures is B.C.’s most famous and enduring artist. But she didn’t receive much recognition until later in life, and a healthy part of that can be attributed to her friendship with a young, deeply talented Victoria artist named Edythe HembroffSchleicher, who, like many Canadian artists, has faded into obscurity. Oak Bay author and art historian Christina Johnson-Dean has shed new light on HembroffSchleicher’s fascinating life as an artist and author in The Life and Art of Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher, which is part of the Unheralded Artists of B.C. series by Mother Tongue Publishing. Hembroff-Schleicher (19061994) grew up in a well-to-do family in view of Craigdarroch Castle on Craigdarroch Road in a house that still stands today. Her father owned a Goodyear tire store.
Edward Hill/News staff
Oak Bay author Christina Johnson-Dean shows a self-portrait of Edythe Hembroff-Schleicher in her new book that explores of the life of the adventurous and unsung Victoria artist who befriended and influenced Emily Carr. “She had a silver-spoon childhood. She had modern clothes, cars and cameras,” Johnson-Dean said. “The wonderful thing about Edythe is she was totally a 20th century person, and went through the changes and opportunities of the 20th century. She also went through two wars.” She attended art school in Vic-
toria and San Francisco, and then in France. Independent and adventurous, the young artist painted across Europe and tasted success in Paris – she exhibited in a salon in 1930 open to professional artists. She returned to Victoria in the wake of the Great Depression. Victoria-based Emily Carr read about Hembroff-Schleicher in the
society pages and called her up. Despite a 35 year age difference, they developed a close friendship. “They had a wonderful time sketching together in Cordova Bay at what became McMorran’s (Beach House). They went together to Goldstream to sketch,” Johnson-Dean said. “Emily Carr wanted to mother young Edythe. But Edythe held her own. She was professionally trained artist. “Edythe got (Carr) to try something different. Emily Carr liked trees. Edythe wanted to paint pulsating flesh. Emily Carr loved the landscapes. Edythe loved people and things.” She even painted a striking portrait of Carr, which the young woman threw in the garbage. Someone retrieved it, recognized Emily Carr and it now hangs in the Vancouver Art Gallery. Hembroff-Schleicher met her second husband Fred Brand, a University of B.C. math professor, through Carr's circle of friends. The husband and wife team organized a number of exhibitions at UBC for Carr. Hembroff-Schleicher also convinced the provincial government to buy Carr’s Kispiox Village painting. “Carr used that
money to get a caravan called the Elephant,” said Johnson-Dean, a special education teacher currently at Colquitz school. Hembroff-Schleicher would go on to write two definitive books on her friend and became the provincial authority on Emily Carr. Hembroff-Schleicher had left her volumes of personal papers and four or five photo albums with the B.C. Archives, but Johnson-Dean couldn’t find her paintings. “She left wonderful photos of Cordova Bay and of daily life in Victoria," she said. “But it was strange. I had no art of hers.” After Johnson-Dean sent out calls for help, a sharp eyed employee at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria found two boxes of Hembroff-Schleicher's work in storage. “Bingo bonanza. It was all her award winning paintings and all her personal papers,” JohnsonDean said. “It was loads of personal papers that explained her life.” Johnson-Dean launches The Life and Art of Edythe HembroffSchleicher on June 29, 8 p.m. at the Victoria College of Art, 1625 Bank St. The event is free. editor@saanichnews.com

■ BLACK PRESS
Moira Tait is an intelligent and articulate 70-year-old who volunteers at the Victoria Women’s Transition House, helping elderly women who are facing the challenge of abuse. She first came to the organization as a client. “My son was dying of cancer and I was very vulnerable,” she explained. It was during that time that Tait suffered a significant loss of vision, and she became desperate, wondering how she would survive. Tait’s life took a disastrous turn when she was convinced to turn over the bulk of her life savings to renovate her daughter’s Alberta home with the promise she would
be invited to live out her years there. When the renovations were finished and paid for, her daughter reneged on the arrangement and Tait was left out on the street. She had a friend with a basement suite in Victoria, and made her way here in a last ditch effort for survival. “I can’t tell you how humiliating, how embarrassing it was to be an older woman and be in that position and to have to ask for help,” she said. “It just about killed me, and I’m one of the toughest broads I know.” In Victoria, she found Transition House and with their help, Tait emerged

In order to do that, the advocate must enjoy the same independence as the ombudsperson, the auditor general and the representative for children and youth. A day before the legislature adjourned, NDP seniors critic Katrine Conroy (Kootenay West) introduced the Representative for Seniors Act to “establish an independent office of investigation.” This private member’s bill died on the order paper.

“It’s where things get a little fuzzy. Is financial abuse by an Internet friend or lover any different from being taken advantage of by a flesh and blood person that you have a relationship with? Or is it fraud by a stranger?” said Charmaine Spencer, a lawyer and adjunct professor at Simon Fraser University whose speciality is older adult abuse issues. But the situation is far from hopeless. “The Vancouver Island Health Authority has the right to enter a home and investigate reports of abuse,” said Dianne de Champlain, community education co-ordinator of the Victoria Women’s Transition House. “As well, the Public Guardian and Trustee is a very good entry point for people who are aware of a potentially abusive relationship.” Although it’s important that seniors who are feeling abused or threatened tell someone about their problem and seek help, statistics say that won’t happen.So it’s vital that friends, relatives and neighbours are aware of the potential for abuse. If abuse is suspected, concerns should be reported to VIHA, the Public Guardian and Trustee, the police or to one of the other organizations in the community who deal with elder abuse issues. One of the most remarkable of Tait’s activities arose from a coping mechanism she embraced during her own period of recovery. She discovered yoga at Transition House and now teaches the activity at various community centres and seniors’ residences. “I may not be a good mediator, but I’m a good, moving meditator,” she said with a laugh.

Q A
What’s at the top of your bucket list? I would love to travel to Australia to trace my dad’s family tree – when his family immigrated to Canada in 1912, one of his maternal uncles traveled there to live. I would love to go and follow up on that history.
Marilyn Day, 66, grew up in Esquimalt and always considered it the best place to live, as did her her family, who were Esquimalt pioneers. She and her brother were born in the home known as the Ferndale House, at 519 Lampson which was built in 1903. After marrying an army man, their first posting took them to Germany in 1975. They returned to Victoria in 1993 and have lived in Esquimalt since. She is an advocate for saving historical military structures in Work Point Barracks and the surrounding area including Fort Macaulay. Her ultimate goal is to have the Fort at Macaulay, saved and honoured as a heritage site and perhaps developed into a historical and military park for future generations to appreciate. “The value of the heritage structures, as well as the whole DND lands surrounding Work Point and Fort Macaulay were a most critical part of our West Coast defence and was the first army post built on the West Coast,” she says.

Q A
What is your favourite Esquimalt destination or activity? Why? Walking the pathway at the Macaulay Point, coast – and sitting at the lookout point at Macaulay Fort – the vista is pristine, the beach leading to the point is peaceful, a great way to de-stress and a significant connection with my family’s development of this area and military history.

Q A
What is your proudest achievement? Raising my two wonderful children as a single parent – I have such love and incredible pride for them both and their achievements – my son is an associate professor and my daughter an RCA.

What are you reading right now? I love to read a variety of books (Esquimalt library is a wonderful resource) – reading was my solace as a sensitive child – horse books then. Today, I enjoy books that help me continue to learn. My next fiction will be Inferno by Dan Brown – my favourite by him includes The Lost Symbol. I’m hoping the story about Robert Langdon’s adventures will continue in a movie. ●

Christine Kyles has been involved with Special Olympics B.C.-Victoria for six years as the athletes registrar. She chose to volunteer with Special Olympics for the wellbeing of this segment of the community. She quickly learned how to engage with athletes, establish a rapport with them and is always available to athletes, parents, caregivers, coaches and local committee members whether she is in Victoria or overseas. Kyles realized for many athletes there is shame of not being able to afford registration, so she developed a payment plan system. For some of the athletes paying the full fee is not the goal – they contribute what they can – but for all of the athletes feeling proud and maintaining a sense of belonging is the aim. ●

T
he Society For Indian Classical Arts, a student club at the University of Victoria, hosts Debapriya Adhikary, Samanwaya Sarkar and Suryaksha Deshpande in concert this Saturday. “Victoria has many people who love the sitar and are always asking about sitar concerts and sitar teachers,” said Sridevi Ganti, one of the concert organizers. “Sitar is one instrument that has become very popular and loved among the
western audience.” Adhikary’s enchanting voice merges with Sarkar’s mesmerizing strokes on the sitar, creating music that makes the audience feel as if these young artists have merged into one. They will be accompanied by expert tabla player Deshpande. All the three are Grade "A" artists of All India Radio. “Don’t miss this soulful music concert here in Victoria … There have been sold-out shows in other Canadian cities and we do not want the people
of Victoria to miss out on this amazing event,” Ganti said. Duet of Wind – An Indian (Hindustani) Classical Music Concert is at the David Lam Auditorium, A144 MacLaurin Building at the University of Victoria on June 22, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20/$15 for students and are available at Long and McQuade, Munro’s Books and at the door. Call Ganti at 250-721-2672 to reserve or for more information. llavin@vicnews.com

Island ferry services ramp up for summer As a sure sign that summer has arrived, ferries serving the Capital Region are boosting their sailings for the busy tourist season. The M.V. Coho switches to its summer schedule June 21 (the first official day of summer), with four daily roundtrip sailings between Victoria and Port Angeles. The passenger and vehicle ferry will depart Victoria daily at 6:10 a.m., 10:30 a.m., 3 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. with returns from Port Angeles at 8:15 a.m., 12:45 p.m., 5:20 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. The Victoria Clipper adds a third sailing to its summer schedule between B.C.’s capital and Seattle, departing daily at 11:20 a.m., 5:30 p.m. and 6:45 p.m. from the Inner Harbour. Last Friday, the Victoria Clipper III made an emergency stop in the San Juan Islands after a minor fire in the engine room. Passengers were bussed from Shilshole Bay Marina to their Seattle destination, but Clipper Navigation officials said there was never any threat to passenger safety. The 231-passenger ship was expected to be back in service Thursday (June 20). Meanwhile, B.C. Ferries is boosting its sailings across its fleet for summer travellers as well. Beginning June 26, the Swartz Bay-Tsawwassen run will use four vessels that will make up to 32 sailings daily. Check bcferries.com for details. editor@vicnews.com

Waving a flag for paratriathletes Self-Transcendence call for para-athletes Travis Paterson News staff
Getting back in the saddle was never a problem for Victor Van den Boomen. Not even a severe spinal injury in 2007 kept the former Ironman triathlete from training and racing. This summer Van den Boomen is on track to do the Self-Transcendence Triathlon at Elk Lake as part of a relay team. It’s significant only because race organizers are trying to encourage, and include, paratriathletes. Paratriathlon will debut at the 2016 Summer Paralympics and is on the rise. Van den Boomen isn’t sure he used the word when he first competed as a paratriathlete in the summer of 2008, only eight months after his devastating cycling injury on the Pat Bay Highway that left him unable to walk. He did the entire Olympic-distance event with the organizers permitting a 5 a.m. start time to accommodate his slower speed. Despite damaged vertebrae in his neck and back Van den Boomen can still swim and bike as well as some able-bodied athletes, and can hike along at a decent clip, though running is out of the question. He uses hiking poles to straighten his stride, a unique gait that adapts by swinging his right leg forward. This year he’s opting to do the swim on a relay team at the 34th Self-Transcendence
Since retiring this year, he has upped his regimen and taken on a new endeavour, strapping into a race model wheelchair with the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon as a goal. “I was crashing the bike a little too often. I’m not as efficient a cyclist as I was.” Instead Van den Boomen can be seen circling the Claremont secondary track, where he’s trained with ParaTriathlon on Aug. 4 with regulympic gold medalist sprinter Michelle lar teammates Rob Breathelt Stilwell. on the bike and Steve Fifield “She blows me away, she’s an inspidoing the run. ration.” Not because he is adverse As paratriathlon grows as a sport, to completing the Olympic disVan den Boomen has no problems tance or getting up for a 5 a.m. promoting its worth.

Haslam’s sweet Strawberry win
IN BRIEF
Travis Paterson News staff
A winning pass late in the race helped Mike Haslam take the 2013 Strawberry Cup at Western Speedway in Langford on Saturday. Haslam passed Lance Wade in the late stages of the 35-lap, non-wing sprint car event. Wade, Mark Stuart, and Jeff Bird finished next in the top four positions, respectively. Chris Root also had a strong showing at fifth place. Western Speedway hosted the Strawberry Cup weekend on Friday and Saturday with the Old Time Racing Association, dwarf cars, Richlock Rentals non-wing sprint cars and winged sprint cars events, all open wheel events with the non-wing sprint as the main event. Guy Barrett won the 20 lap winged sprint car series, holding off the eager Scott Aumen, who finished second. Aumen was putting pressure on Barrett at lap 18 but couldn’t make the final pass. Matt Mansell and Paul Verhagen finished third and fourth. Racing continues on Saturday at Western Speedway (June 22), with

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

Camp opens doors to autistic children Daniel Palmer News staff
Summer camp is traditionally a rite of passage, allowing kids to explore nature
and make new friends while parents get some much-needed rest and relaxation. But one independent school is offering a unique summer
program for autistic children who would otherwise miss out on the experience. Elizabeth Buckley School’s MusArt program takes children
ages 7 to 11 into nature while teaching them critical social and communication skills through storytelling, music, art and science. The program is
The more you get together the happier you’ll be.
aimed at moderately high to highfunctioning children with autism, so many have higher verbal skills, said Laura Lane, behaviour interventionist and special needs educational assistant at the school. “I’ve been working with children for quite a while and have a lot of joy in doing that. I thought this program would be a nurturing space and environment to create a sense of connection and positive feeling,” she said. Each week of camp will include main themes focused around the four elements of nature. The program is facilitated by Lane and a behaviour support worker and has a maximum of five participants. “A lot of it is to have a fun summer experience for these children,” Lane said. “They’ll probably teach me a lot, to be honest.” Autistic children take time to learn simple social cues, and can benefit significantly from social games in a therapeutic context, she added. “You might say hello and might not get a response right away or at all. That’s one skill we work on and explain why that’s important. In their world, it doesn’t necessarily make sense. … Children with autism, it’s hard at first to compromise and let go of that control.” For more details about MusArt, call the school at 250-995-6425. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Global TV news anchor Chris Gailus takes off for a top-down spin in the 1976 Ford Bronco he bought in Texas 10 years ago.
VANCOUVER
the first time with that simple, utilitarian truck.” He bought his first Bronco from a man who had restored it and added a Duffy three speed shift kit, a CB radio and a bus heater in the back. But the young newsman, who travelled back to his family home in Calgary every weekend, hadn’t factored in the cost of fuel. The Bronco had a thirsty 302 cubic inch V8 engine and Chris was forced to sell the truck because he couldn’t afford repeated trips to the gas pump. “My first car was a 1972 Ford Maverick that my father paid $225 for as a high school graduation gift,” Chris recalls. “I had to put a quart of oil in it every time I filled the gas tank. But my father knew that keeping the car roadworthy would provide lessons in problem solving.” His next vehicle was a more sensible 1976 Honda Civic. He recalls driving from Calgary to Lethbridge in -40° temperatures when the car began to stall every five or six kilometres. The inside of the carburetor was icing up, preventing fuel from getting to the cylinders. He soon diagnosed the problem: A hose bringing manifold heat to the carburetor had come loose. Once he fixed that, he was on his way.
Alyn Edwards is a classic car enthusiast and partner in Peak Communicators, a Vancouverbased public relations company. aedwards@peakco.com

Chris has always shared his father’s love of cars. “Cars have been a part of my life for as long as I remember,” he says. He and his Global British Columbia TV reporter wife Jane Carrigan, who he met while they were co-anchors at Calgary’s CFCN television in 1992, use their classic Bronco regularly as a fair weather fun vehicle. “I love it because I can fill the back up with bags of potting soil,” Jane says. She says their 22-month-old son William’s second word was truck. “When he wakes up on the weekends, he says garage. When he goes out to the garage, he says ‘fire it up’.” William loves to ride strapped into the Bronco’s passenger seat. The 1976 Ford Bronco was displayed among other celebrityowned vehicles at the Vancouver Collector Car Show and Auction held June 22 to 23 at Vancouver’s Pacific National Exhibition. The show featured approximately 600 collector vehicles on display with 100 auctioned on Saturday and Sunday. Among the other celebrity vehicles were local rock DJ Bro Jake Edwards’ 1950 Bentley, the customized 1965 Jaguar MK10 owned by internationally acclaimed Vancouver shoe designer John Fleuvog and Tevie Smith’s 1947 Chrysler ‘woody’ sedan known throughout North America as the “Termite Taxi.”

On June 12, 1953, Tom Foord opened the first Kal Tire store in Vernon, B.C., after one day looking out the window of his gas station thinking, “Everything runs on rubber.” The unique story is, 60 years later, the organization has grown to more than 240 stores in Canada, has a mining tire division operating in 19 countries, employs more than 5,300 team members, remains based in Vernon, and still remains a prominent family-owned business having successfully crossed into its second generation of family involvement.

N o c r a s h t e s t d u m m i e s w e r e h a r m e d i n t h e t e s t i n g o f t h i s ve h i c l e . The 2014 Subaru Forester is the only small SUV to receive the top rating (“G/Good”)Δ in every safety test issued by the IIHS, granting it the TSP+ (Top Safety Pick Plus) designation. These tests include the most severe frontal collision tests performed on vehicles. But we believe the best way to protect yourself in a collision is to avoid one altogether; that’s why every Forester is equipped with symmetrical full-time. All-Wheel Drive for added traction and control, and the option of our EyeSight™ Advanced Driving Assist System. So thanks to us, a few lucky crash test dummies have a very long life ahead of them. subaru.ca
Δ Ratings of “Good” are the highest rating awarded for performance in fi ve safety tests (moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, rollover and rear) conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) (www.iihs.org). To earn a 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must receive a “Good” rating in at least four of the fi ve tests and a “Good” or “Acceptable” rating in the fi fth test.

Nissan has announced that Canadian pricing for the new 2013 Nissan LEAF will start at a Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $31,698 for the newly-added S grade, making it the lowest priced fivepassenger electric vehicle sold in Canada. Depending on location, some consumers may purchase the Nissan LEAF at prices on par with gas-powered vehicles of its size with provincial tax rebates, when it goes on sale in EV-certified dealer showrooms this July. Residents of Ontario, Quebec and B.C. are eligible for $8,500, $8,000 and $5,000 toward their purchase of a Nissan LEAF, respectively. Nissan’s objective for the Nissan LEAF has always been to produce an affordable zero-emission vehicle for the mass market, and the 2013 Nissan LEAF is a prime example of that commitment with increased value at every trim level, making it more accessible for more people. Additions to the 2013 Nissan LEAF include: 17-inch alloy wheels, leather appointed interior, Around View® Monitor and seven-speaker Bose energy-efficient audio system on SL models and a standard 6.6 kW onboard charger that significantly reduces 220V charging times by nearly half on all models. Also new is the availability of the Nissan LEAF App for Canadian Android users which will allow even more customers to control their Nissan LEAF from the comfort of their smart phone and will be backward
