Amalgamation question OK’d for 2014 election Victoria residents will be providing their opinion on amalgamation during next year’s municipal election. Council approved the non-binding question at a committee meeting Thursday. The question will be: “Are you in favour of reducing the number of municipalities in Greater Victoria through amalgamation?” “This resolution is not intended to persuade you to support or oppose amalgamation in the South Island at all,” said Coun. Marianne Alto before the vote. “I think we need to discover if there’s enough interest in the concept before we start spending a lot of money (on any research).” Coun. Ben Isitt said he believes municipalities like Oak Bay and Victoria are good potential amalgamation partners, but said the ballot question should be crafted by City of Victoria lawyers and staff before approval. “You could end up with a buffoon like Rob Ford as the mayor of a mega-city, and this has to do with … fuelling resentments between suburbs and core areas, where there’s very different political cultures,” he said. Isitt and Coun. Pam Madoff ultimately opposed the resolution. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Karlsson, who has been in the role for 40 years, once spent days raking the leaves by hand and now finds with the leaf blower the job can be done in a few hours. After leaves are put into piles, they are picked up and recycled.

With more than a decade of working as an auto journalist under her belt, Driveway columnist Alexandra Straub knows a thing or two about being on the road. In this Friday’s edition of Driveway, Straub writes about the importance of training yourself to be a better and safer driver. “Poor driving habits – not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing – are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact,” she says. “It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.” Also in this week’s auto section, Zack Spencer test drives the 2014 Cadillac GTS while Bob McHugh looks at the benefits of buying used, specifically the 2010-12 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans. Driveway is the weekly automotive section that runs in Black Press community newspapers in B.C. editor@vicnews.com

Idar knows how to create buzz Award-winning Victoria jeweller gets inspiration from honey bees

Achievement award honours creativity

Don Descoteau News staff

Sitting at his workbench in his eponymous Fort Street jewelry store, dazzling gemstones and partially done gold rings in front of him, Idar Bergseth speaks in subdued tones about his award-winning work. Ask him about the colourful collection of large rocks and polished stones laid out on shelves behind and above him, however, and his eyes light up. He refers to a particular gnarly example – a chunk of meteorite he found in a cave in Mexico. "I actually made a ring from some of that rock," he says. "From agate to rare gems, to me they're both beautiful." While creating more traditional forms of jewelry has been part of his roughly 50 years in the business, it's the different and unusual that he is more known for (see sidebar). "The store's style is Arabesque, very floral, botanical, organic. My favourite things are very structural, very geometric and stylized." At 68, he shows few signs of slowing down and has developed a clear raison d'être as an artist and businessperson. "All jewelry is a talisman and what people ask for is something that represents them," he says. "I feel kind of privileged to make something for someone that they love. The value doesn't necessarily matter, it's how the person feels about it." While the beauty and creativity of finished works and those in process at Idar is unmistakable, something else catches one's attention. Images of bees can be found everywhere here, from the sidewalk and awning in front of the store at 946 Fort St. to the company logo – even the goldsmiths' coffee mugs are emblazoned with the black and orange insects. It all speaks to Bergseth's love and respect for the honey producers. He lives part-time above the store when not on South Pender Island with his wife and business partner, Nikki, and for roughly 20 years he kept a hive on the rooftop. While

has been full-time since 1991. While her dad's affection for bees shows a gentle side of the man, she says he can still be the "temperamental artist" at times. "He is forthright, which is great in the jewelry trade," she says. "But on the flip side, if he doesn't like an idea, he'll tell a person, and some people don't want to hear that." The tendency to pass off to

Victoria goldsmith Idar Bergseth has spent most of his life fascinated by rocks and stones of all shapes and sizes. The last 50 years or so of that time has been spent perfecting the craft of jewelry art. His career creating wearable works of art for customers was spotlighted recently when he was named one of three winners of the B.C. Achievement Foundation’s 2013 Carter Wosk Creative Achievement Award for Applied Art and Design. The award honours B.C. artists whose work is judged to be “innovative, original and creative while having a practical function.” Bergseth, a modest man who apprenticed under noted Vancouver goldsmith Karl Heinz Stittgen, has won various trade awards for his work and been commissioned to create pieces for organizations that include the Royal Ontario Museum. Bergseth admits his career and life have been filled with “ups and downs,” but says they have all been “very beneficial.” “This award puts the icing on the cake.” The awards will be presented later this fall in a formal ceremony in Vancouver.

coworkers, requests he doesn't believe he can do well is part of his personality, Lara says. It comes back to creating pieces the customer will love and constantly rediscovering himself. "I've been building a lifetime crafting and working on it," he says of his style and skills. "I still have so much to learn and sometimes I feel I don't deserve (the attention)."

Unanticipated roll-out costs for Victoria's backyard garbage and kitchen scraps pickup means homeowners will pay another $20 each year for the service.

The anonymous employee underneath the Marty the Marmot costume has opted not to press assault charges against the fan, who has since come forward and apologized for his behaviour. “In consultation with VicPD (the Royals and the fan in question) have decided to move to a restorative justice model to resolve the situation,” said Const. Mike Russell, Victoria police spokesman. On The Victoria Royals Hockey Club Facebook page, the organization said the “over-exuberant fan” acknowledged his actions were inappropriate and said the fan is making a “significant donation” to the team’s Movember Fund for prostate cancer awareness and treatment. “In the end, we’re happy Marty is OK, the young man has come for-

switch to curb-side pickup, which would have meant only a $6 increase per household. But in a tight 5-4 vote, council opted to stick with the more expensive backyard collection option, citing a need to support seniors and others with mobility issues. “We really need to build a stronger community if people are worried that no one is going to take out their garbage for them,” said Coun. Lisa Helps, who opposed the increase. Mayor Dean Fortin, councillors Marianne Alto, Ben Isitt, Shellie Gudgeon and Pam Madoff voted to keep backyard pickup.

Downsizing Diva owner Cathy Haynes found herself called a moving company by WorkSafeBC, a large added expense, but she convinced the regulator to explore creating a new classification for her business.

Small change for WorkSafe, big victory for Victoria business Kyle Wells News staff

A Greater Victoria business owner’s determination to bring about change could result in a revision to how WorkSafeBC classifies certain businesses. In November 2012, Cathy Haynes bought the Downsizing Diva, a business which helps seniors get organized for a move from a large to a smaller home or a retirement home. “It’s a particular kind of move, they have to make a lot of emotional decisions,” Haynes said. When Haynes went to register her new endeavour with WorkSafeBC, she was told her the business is categorized as a moving company and would therefore have an insurance premium rate of $5.58 per $100 of assessable payroll. WorkSafeBC has about 550 categories a business can fit into, but none fit Haynes company, other than that for movers. For a moving company this high premium is based on the likelihood for injury with heavy lifting and potentially dangerous work. But Haynes company does none of this and subcontracts out the heavy lifting to companies which have their own WorkSafeBC coverage. “We don’t actually lift the pianos and the furniture,” Haynes said. “We manage the move, so we co-ordinate. We’re more one part social worker, one part logistics co-ordinator.” Haynes wrote to provincial ministers and to WorkSafeBC to complain about the classification system. Minister of jobs, tourism and skills training Shirley Bond wrote back to Haynes but said

the government has no sway in such matters. WorkSafeBC has since informed Haynes that its classification system is currently under review and that a new category is being created for senior move managers, personal organizers and personal assistants. WorkSafeBC says this is the way in which its classification system develops over time. “That was actually pretty quick action and a good thing, it’s the right thing to do,” said Deepak Kothary, director of assessments for WorkSafeBC. “Prior to this … I had never heard of this industry myself. So you learn these things.” The trend at WorkSafeBC is typically to reduce the number of classifications to reflect contemporary industry, getting rid of occupations which no longer exist. Kothary said it’s rare to create a new classification, but as emerging industries come up there is a process to add categories. Kothary said there is also an avenue for Haynes to appeal her 2013 classification and perhaps get some money back if the firm can find a more appropriate category. With the new classification, Haynes rate will be lowered to a base rate of $0.89, a substantial reduction. “It was awesome,” Haynes said. “It was very encouraging, because there’s not a lot of margin in these kinds of personal services business, so anything that takes away from that is wonderful. “To get two ministers responding to me is a big thing. And it does take something to shake up the bureaucracy of their little categorizations that they have.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Dining out helps feed less fortunate The restaurant business in Victoria has weathered hard times over the past few years, so it’s encouraging to see local eateries stepping up in terms of helping those who struggle to afford a meal and groceries. In recent weeks, a trio of entrepreneurs launched Mealshare with a handful of downtown restaurants (Canoe, Zambri’s, Lido Waterfront Bistro and West Coast Waffles), where the purchase of a particular menu item means a meal is donated to Our Place Society. At the same time, a charity called StreetSmart is running a two-month program with a group of restaurants (Sooke Harbour House, 10 Acres, Ça Va, Cafe Brio, Milestone’s, Pescatores, Cheryl’s Gourmet Pantry, Relish and The Marina Restaurant) that gives diners a way to donate cash to the Mustard Seed food bank through a restaurant bill. If you are not in the habit of carrying around non-perishable food that are more often collected around Christmas time, adding a few bucks on a restaurant tab is a low-pressure way to help make sure the food bank has cash flow. Thanks to generous deals with local grocers, food banks can stretch their dollars further –1.5 to two times more – than the average person in terms of buying food. The Mustard Seed, the hub food bank that serves much of Greater Victoria and contributes to the food bank in Langford, constantly struggles to bring in enough donations and cash to serve the 5,000 people who can’t afford food for an entire month. Increasingly, those are people who are employed but can’t make ends meet or senior citizens on fixed incomes. Many local restaurants are already involved in charity efforts, and also support local farms and buying local, and should be applauded for extending that generosity. As we transition into the Christmas season and hit the shopping malls and downtown stores, it’s worth remembering an unsettling number of people in this region struggle to get by. The social enterprises of Mealshare and StreetSmart can go a long way to make this time of year a little better for many fellow citizens. What do you think?

There official on May 31, two weeks after the election, in its final submission is no constitutional way to make such a demand, a point Redford has to the federal review panel.

This is also inaccurate.

Here’s what Redford and Clark review, “world-leading” spill agreed on.

excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year. A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, yeah, Quebec refuses to participate. Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington. If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets.

OPINION

Saanich Walk-In Denture Clinic Walk-In Denture Clinic

The great outdoors does more good than you think For much of human history we lived close to the natural world. As civilization evolved we became increasingly urbanized, and most of us now live in cities. As we’ve moved away from nature, we’ve seen a decline in other forms of life. Biodiversity is disappearing. The current rate of loss is perhaps as high as 10,000 times the natural rate. The International Union for Conservation of Nature’s 2008 Red List of Threatened Species shows 16,928 plant and animal species are threatened with extinction. According to an article in Conservation magazine, there is a link between biodiversity and human health. Ilkka Hanski and his colleagues at the University of Helsinki compared allergies of adolescents living in houses surrounded by biodiverse natural areas to those living in landscapes of lawns and concrete. They found people surrounded by a greater diversity of life were themselves covered with a wider range of different kinds of microbes than those in less diverse surroundings. They were also less likely to exhibit allergies. What’s going on? Discussion of the relationship between biodiversity and human health is not new. Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the Woods, says

To work effectively, our immune system needs to be “primed” by exposure to a diverse range of organisms at an early age. In this way it learns to distinguish between good, bad and harmless.

David Suzuki with Mara Kerry people who spend too little time outdoors experience a range of behavioural problems, which he calls “nature deficit disorder.” It fits with theories of modern ecology, which show systems lacking in biodiversity are less resilient, whether they’re forests or microbial communities in our stomachs or on our skin. Less resilient systems are more subject to invasion by pathogens or invasive species. Hanski studied a region in Finland where few people move far. He randomly selected 118 adolescents in an equal number of homes, some in the city, others in the woods or on farms. The team collected skin swabs from subjects and measured the biodiversity of plants around each house. Their data revealed a clear pattern: higher nativeplant diversity appeared to be associated with altered microbial composition on the participants’ skin, which led in

LETTERS Check facts before knee-jerk reactions to high-risk offenders I was heartened by the facts included in the article “Fact vs. Reality” (News, Nov. 6) and the input from the professionals at John Howard Society. I was equally disheartened by a letter from a reader who implied that our justice system “can’t even add.” I work daily alongside young offenders, some of whom have to carry the label of “high-risk.” I work alongside the justice system, and though I am often very frustrated with the inherent flaws, I would urge readers to learn about how sentences are accumulated and managed before having knee-jerk reactions. As a woman working with young, at-risk youth, do I get scared when I read that our community houses high offender adults? Yes. Do I have knowlege and faith that Victoria halfway houses, staff, and supporting services are an integral and well-informed part of our community? Absolutely. We cannot sweep high risk offenders, whatever age, under the rug. Rehabilitation is a statistical

probability when combined with good practice and a motivated participant. Lorna Mace Esquimalt

Eat out and help the food bank Daniel Palmer News staff

A charitable movement that’s raised more than $12 million for food banks worldwide is planting roots in Greater Victoria. StreetSmart is a simple concept: for the next two months, participating restaurants ask patrons if they’re interested in donating $1 to a local food bank. At the end of the campaign, the charities that serve the community’s most needy get a big financial boost when they need it most. “Thanks to generous local donors, 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to local charities,” said Karen Clarke, StreetSmart Victoria organizer. There are already nine restau-

rants onboard locally including Sooke Harbour House, 10 Acres, Ça Va, Cafe Brio, Milestone’s, Pescatores, Cheryl’s Gourmet Pantry, Relish and The Marina Restaurant in Oak Bay. Clarke and her team are still hoping to sign up more restaurants as the campaign moves forward. “Victoria is a perfect place to do this, because we have so many wonderful restaurants,” she said. The Mustard Seed and Sooke food banks will receive every penny of collected donations, while administrative and marketing costs for StreetSmart have been covered by philanthropists in the community, she said. “Simply add a dollar to the end of your bill. It doesn’t affect

server gratuities and it doesn’t cost the restaurant anything. The feedback we’ve had from Vancouver is the restaurants loved being a part of it, the servers feel they’re contributing to the community and the local connection is a big factor for a lot of people.” In the U.K., StreetSmart has raised over $12 million since its inception in 1998, and has since spread to five other countries. The Canadian branch is also running campaigns in Vancouver, Chilliwack, Toronto and Kingston. To participate, email Clarke at karenclarke@streetsmartcanada. org.

Shoppers employee shares personal cancer story Don Descoteau Biz Beat

Shoppers Drug Mart cosmetician Doris Arzethauser has a very personal reason for getting behind the national Look Good Feel Better campaign, which aims to help women manage the effects of cancer treatment on their appearance and morale. Arzethauser has endured a partial mastectomy and radiation therapy for breast cancer. Now in remission and back to work at the Douglas Street branch of Shoppers, she hopes to pass along positive messages about dealing with the disease during the Holiday Snowflake gala fundraiser this Saturday (Nov. 16) at her store. “I have always felt that Shoppers Drug Mart’s support of the Look Good Feel Better program was extremely important,” Arzethauser said. “But now it has taken on a different meaning for me because I can add something of myself to the events and touch people in a different way.” Customers at Shoppers stores in Greater Victoria and across the province can take in the Holiday Snowflake event from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The $10 ticket, $5 of which

fter a one-year hiatus, the Victoria Fiddle Society’s FiddleFest is returning for its fifth iteration this weekend. It all kicks off with a barn dance at Brentwood Community Hall on Friday (Nov. 15). The two-night celebration is anchored by a day full of workshops on Saturday, which draws fiddle enthusiasts from across the Pacific Northwest, as far away as Whitehorse. It’s followed by an allstar jam session featuring the workshop instructors on Saturday night, which is the only proper way to celebrate the fiddle, says VFS head Daniel Lapp. “Somehow in this generation the fiddle became something seen in a concert hall, not that there isn’t a place for fiddling on the concert stage, but most fiddlers are playing because they love to play, and playing for dances is the better forum. There’s an interaction and connection that’s more tactile. People are moving to your music.” The topics of focus for Saturday’s series of workshops are the fiddle, naturally, as well as guitar, cello, voice, percussion and step dance. FiddleFest’s instructors will also be on stage Saturday night, including bands The Fretless and Qristina and Quinn Bachand, Oliver Swain, B.C. fiddle champion Sarah Tradewell, and Victoria fiddler Nellie Quinn. “Ideas are exchanged throughout the weekend not just during the workshops,” said VFS vice president Ceri Osborne. “It never stops, people continue to share between the workshops too.” It’s been nearly 20 years since Lapp launched his passion for fiddle music onto Victoria with the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra for the 1994 Commonwealth Games. It’s a scene that continues to grow – in Greater Victoria especially, says Lapp. He has seen such successful growth in the fiddle community, that the Canadian Folk Music Awards took time to honour Lapp with the Innovator of the Year award at the Nov. 10 event in Calgary. “People across Canada know about the fiddle community in Greater Victoria. Students are not only living the fiddle lifestyle, but taking it across the country.” Lapp stresses the instrument’s powerful transcendence to any of his students, whether they’re members of the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra or fiddlers in a 60-minute workshop. The fiddle is not just any instrument but a vehicle for people to connect through music and dance, Lapp said. “It’s one of those things that instantly connects people who’ve never met before.” The Friday and Saturday shows are open to the public and Lapp hopes to see a full house. “The music is for the whole community. People are hungry to inter-

Bentall brings Cariboo to coast

CHRISTOPHER SuN reporter@vicnews.com Two generations of roots and country musicians will come together for three nights of jamming and storytelling this weekend in support of ending hunger. Barney Bentall is bringing his Grand Cariboo Opry show to Central Saanich, Victoria and Sooke Nov. 15 to 17 to benefit food banks in each community. Expect an old country opry and live originals and covers, said Vancouverbased Bentall. “It’s a good old fashion variety show with a bunch of great artists,” Bentall said of the show that raised $50,000 for Mustard Seed and Sidney Lions food banks last year. “There is such a great collection of music. It’s one of the most amazing things I’m involved with.” Other artists on stage include Bentall’s son, Dustin, 54-40’s Neil Osborne, Paperboy’s singer and fiddler Kendel Carson, Ridley Bent, Matt Masters, Wendy Bird, Angela Harris and the Gold Rush Allstars, made up of Geoff Hicks, Rob Becker, Eric Reed and Scott Smith. “These are people who are not your typical country-western singers,” Bentall said, adding that the music is more roots and “old-style country. These are people who appreciate and love country music in its purest form.” This is the seventh year that Music in the Bay is presenting Bentall and his oprystyle show, at Saanichton’s Friendship Community Church on Nov. 15, Victoria’s First Metropolitan Church Nov. 16 and at Edward Milne Community Theatre on Nov. 17. Monies raised will stay at food banks in each community. This grand opry-style show has started as an idea while Bentall was at his ranch in the Cariboo. “I wanted to take that down to the coast and keep that Cariboo vibe to it.” To date, more than $150,000 has been raised. Tickets are $30, plus a $2 handling fee, and are available at brentwoodbay. info.

Parents like Tim Bendall and Kristin Godwin, who welcomed Lincon Godwin-Bendall into the world at Victoria General Hospital on Nov. 3, get an added reminder this month on how to deal with a crying baby, with Island Health’s Purple Crying Campaign

Purple hats promote walking away News staff

A baby’s incessant wailing – call it purple crying or colic – can drive the sanest parent to the brink. New mom Natasha Crawford happily watched a DVD on purple crying during a pre-natal class. “It was good and helped prepare me for what to expect,” she said, snuggling her three-day old son Anson. The DVD is something all new parents get at Victoria General Hospital. This month there’s a toque to serve as a safety reminder as part of the Purple Crying campaign. The goal is to remind parents that it’s safer to leave a crying baby in a safe place and walk away for a few minutes than to lose your cool and shake him out of frustration. “With my daughter there were

a few nights here and there when we needed to keep out patience, but then you get over it,” said Tim Bendall, who welcomed his son Lincon into the world on Nov. 3. Getting reminders is always a good thing, the second-time dad said. Volunteers from across the province put knitting needles to the grindstone stitching toques for hospitals across B.C. – 160 toques came to Victoria General Hospital. Charlotte El-Agav, a program co-ordinator at the Ministry of Health, was among the knitters. She knows firsthand how tough it is to deal with a wailing baby. “I was in tears, sobbing my head off. I didn’t know if I was doing something wrong,” she said, harkening back to when her now 38-year-old daughter was an infant. “Every child goes through it, it’s not abnormal.” Unfortunately neither is

Venturer scout puts the pop into fundraising campaign Chaim Weinerman sold $14,255 worth of popcorn last year Christopher Sun

Protective ride

News staff

Scout Canada’s annual month-long popcorn fundraiser is underway and Beavers, Cubs, Scouts and Venturers and Rovers around the region are busy knocking on doors, seeking the public’s support. Some of those youth may want to compare notes with Chaim Weinerman. The Venturer scout sold more than $14,255 worth of corn last year, placing him second overall in Canada. “You need quite a bit of patience, dedication and a lot of hard work to go door to door after school, and coming home for dinner and going back out again,” he said. Weinerman, now 16, went door-knocking throughout Oak Bay after schools on weekdays, and ventured out for another seven hours on

The Bra Lady

✁

Is Coming to Size You Up

✁

Are you tired of feeling saggy, lumpy, pinched or strained? Well you’re not alone. As you’ve probably seen on Oprah or read in women’s magazines, over 80 per cent of all women wear the wrong size bra. Here’s where Barb Chapman, the Bra Lady, comes in.

Chapman is coming to VICTORIA ON MONDAY NOV. 25TH to outfit you with the best possible bra for your body. Chapman said she will be seeing clients on a one-on-one basis, explaining the benefits of good bras and measuring their bodies properly. “Most women just want to find a good-fitting bra that’s not uncomfortable,” Chapman said. “What they don’t realize is that a good support bra is also important for blood circulation and enhanced lymph drainage.”

✁

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Message to Property Owners Maintenance of Drainage System Now, before winter rainstorms arrive, is the time for home owners to check gutters, downspouts and perimeter drains around the house to ensure everything is working properly. 1. 2.

Clear your gutters and downspouts of all leaves and debris. Ensure that they remain clear through the winter. Have your drain system cleaned and repaired if necessary. Remember, drain tiles will plug over time with mud, silt or roots, and in some cases, may even have failed due to age. Ensure that any surface drain, such as those located at the bottom of the driveways and stairwells, are clear of mud and debris and remain clear through the winter.

The Municipality will make every effort to keep road side catch basins clear. Residents are requested to help by not depositing or allowing the accumulation of leaves in the curb and gutter.

weekends. He sold to about 500 people, who bought popcorn-based items ranging from $10 for a one-kilogram bag of kernels, to $60 for a large tin of chocolate-covered popcorn and pretzels. About 60 per cent of proceeds from the sales go back into the local scout club, with the rest going towards the actual popcorn costs and administration. First place in the country last year went to an 18-year-old Albertan scout, who raised more than $16,000. Weinerman has been involved with scouting since even before he was old enough to join – that’s age five for Beavers – as his parents were scout leaders. He has sold popcorn for the past six years, including $8,000 worth three years ago with the help of a friend and his sister. In 2012, Weinerman went at it alone with the goal of raising some serious money for his local scout group. “I am part of Sea Scouts, so we go sailing as well,” he said. “Our group is more hard up on cash than other groups. We had a larger boat donated to us by a family and it needed some repairs.” The ambitious Mount Douglas secondary student is selling popcorn again, but he isn’t aiming to place in the top three again. “I’m not sorta going all out like last year,” he said. “I think I did my duty for my group.” Scout Popcorn is Scouts Canada’s official fundraiser, raising $9.5 million last year, with more than $5.8 million going back to local scouting groups. Scouts Canada is open to boys, girls and young adults aged five to 26. Twenty per cent of members nationwide are female.

Beacon Hill rose garden uprooted to drier home Work helped along with fund from a local donor Daniel Palmer News staff

Don Denton/News staff

A dump truck and backhoe at work in Beacon Hill Park. The city is relocating the rose garden to the park’s north side.

Expect some changes to Beacon Hill Park next spring, thanks to a big donation from a City of Victoria resident. City parks crews are in the process of relocating the rose garden from a

bed near the cricket grounds to a drier bed on the park’s north side. “The rose garden was failing where it was, it was way too wet for roses,” said Kate Friars, parks director. The rose garden was originally located where the sun dial now stands and moved to its current location in the 1980s. But the wet and isolated area has always been problematic for roses, said Doug DeMarzo, parks manager. “The rose garden was kind of lost out there near the cricket pitch,” he

said. “So now we’ve moved it to be a self-anchor to the ornamental area.” Work is largely being funded by a local donor who may reveal his or her identify when the changes are complete. Crews will also install various ornamental trees below the rose garden, as well as a deer fence before the roses are in place. The cordoned off area near the cricket grounds will reopen for public use before Christmas, DeMarzo said. dpalmer@vicnews.com

It was the rule change to rule all rule changes. A century ago, the innovative brothers Lester and Frank Patrick shaped the modern game of hockey, and they did it in Victoria. But it wasn’t all rosy. When they opted to allow the forward pass, in the neutral zone only, they were scrutinized by the press and by other leagues. Even players “held a disdain” for the new rule. Today, the Patricks are heralded for their innovations, which are used in the NHL and ice hockey leagues worldwide. But people are unaware of the staunch criticism they faced. They were told they were going to ruin the game. It’s captured in Craig H. Bowlsby’s new book 1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey. “The Patricks were always looking for ways to better the flow of the game, not necessarily to increase speed,” Bowlsby says. “They wanted to prevent stoppages. Goalies going down would kill the play, so that was obvious, and they allowed goalies to fall to the ice.” Thusly they allowed the forward pass. Outside of hockey, the pass had already been adopted by the U.S.A. rugby union, as that sport morphed into football as we know it. However, forward pass-

Lester Patrick bent to his brother’s wishes and used the forward pass. ing wasn’t accepted widely in hockey until as late as the 1930s. Bowlsby’s 1913 chronicles not only the backlash Frank and Lester faced from newspapers and their main competition that season, the east’s National Hockey Association (which became the NHL in 1917), it also sheds new light on the brothers’ quarrels with each other. Their first significant disagreement was over the seven-man system. “Frank tried to implement the six-man unit in 1913 but Lester said ‘no way.’ So when Frank said ‘no offside’ in the centre ice area, Lester had to back down,” Bowlsby said. It was one of the few areas of the game the PCHA changed after the NHA. Lester refused to drop the seventh man and go to five skaters and a goalie.

However, it worked as leverage for Frank to implement the forward pass in 1913-14, which Lester was also cold on. In fact, Bowlsby is almost certain Lester hated the forward pass. Ironically, Lester repented soon into the 1913-14 season as his Victoria Pros proved the most capable of using the neutral zone pass in the PCHA. With it, they advanced from the PCHA to the 1914 Stanley Cup championship held in Toronto, though they lost to the Toronto Arenas/ Blueshirts of the NHA. In a twist of fate, noted hockey historian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has simultaneously released a book this month on the beginnings of pro hockey in Toronto, including the 1914 champion Arenas. “Frank and Lester both brought in the new ideas, and there was a dynamic between them, a tug of war,” Bowlsby said. “Frank championed some things, Lester others, and they didn’t always agree.” At times they squabbled through the newspapers. “Frank stated through The Vancouver Province: ‘there was no question it would be adopted.’ But two days later Lester repudiated that idea,” Bowlsby said. “Shortly thereafter, (Lester) said in The Province on Dec. 1, 1913: ‘I am not greatly in favour of the new offside rule and will have to be shown where this rule will benefit the game before I will lend my support....’” 1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey is available at Chapters.Indigo.ca. sports@vicnews.com

The brothers Patrick brooded over new ideas, tweaking the game in their minds as much as possible before each season in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, which they ran from 1911 to 1924. Some rule changes were sketched out at Frank’s house in Vancouver, while others were debated in the Patrick family house on Michigan Street in James Bay. They implemented them on the artificial ice of the Patrick Arena in Oak Bay. The Patricks continued to tinker with the game until the PCHA folded in 1926, when Lester sold his Victoria Cougars, which became the NHL’s Detroit Cougars (Red Wings).

Picture this

Craig Bowlsby is a Vancouver-based hockey author. He started collecting old hockey photos which led him to 15 years of part-time research and the self-published 2006 book, Knights of Winter. He assembled 1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey, based on the three years of research he put into his mammoth release earlier in 2013, Empire of Ice: The Rise and Fall of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, 1911-1926.

Tired players

The forward pass sped up the game and ultimately led to another Patrick innovation, or “allowance,” to increase the roster and allow line changes. The same six players used to play the entire game.

Rugged rules

The Canadian Football League didn’t permit a forward pass in the Grey Cup until 1929.
