Pearkes mayhem to decide world title Nate Clark News staff
Google martial artists Suraj Bangarh or Chase Ingalls and you’ll find videos that leave you breathless. Both kickboxers are training twice a day, six days a week for title bouts against foes from the Netherlands on May 9, at Pearkes Arena. “We’ve got two world titles on the line,” said Bangarh, a 21-year-
old Saanich resident with 17 matches under his belt. “There are also two provincial titles on the card. People are in for some fastpaced, standup striking.” At 22, Chase Ingalls has a perfect 18-0 record. He’s confident but says a lack of inside information about his opponent is a concern. “There’s so little footage of the Dutch fighters,” Ingalls said. “When you fight someone local, you can do research, you know
their reputation at least. With these guys, you have to feel it out on the spot.” “We don’t know what they’re good at, or what they’re bad at,” adds Bangarh. “We’ll have to figure it out fast – then we’ll just start bangin’ from there.” If either fighter has real doubts, they don’t show it in their eyes. Both convey a deep, controlled confidence. It’s only when they’re asked to recall their very first kickboxing bouts that they break the

There’s huge excitement there.” For info on May 9 Mayhem go to peterecskickboxing.com or call 250-389-6166. reporter@saanichnews.com
tension. “I saw a friend fight before me and when I saw him get hit, I admit I was scared,” Bangarh said with a laugh. “I didn’t want to fight. All my training left me. But I learned from it. On my second fight, I was able to control my mind a lot better. It all comes with experience.” Ingalls says it’s those few tense moments before the punches fly that made him love the sport. “Every time I step in the ring I want to live in that moment; I

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF
Editor’s story scores B.C. gold
Don Denton/News staff
St. Andrew’s Regional High School student Griffin Yundt creates videos that educate on environmental issues and is among the Green Team volunteers who help maintain the Garry Oak area, seen here, behind the school.
Savvy techie teaches green initiatives Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Griffin Yundt captures his classmates’ attention in under 40 seconds. The St. Andrew’s Regional High school student uses video to inspire his peers and keep his school green while honing skills for his future. “We try to give everyone a good laugh while helping promote the environment,” says the Green Team member. Yundt and his cohorts are the St. Andrew’s Regional High School environmental team – without them it would not exist, says teacher Diane Chimich. “He’s a real team player. There’s three of them that have done everything under the sun at this school for the last five years.” Yundt, with Jared Saxby and Marcus Maryfield, trooped into Grade 8 and began to build a recycling program constantly evolving to add composting and plastics recycling. “We also have a Garry oak meadow behind the school and we do a big cleanup there two times a year,” Yundt adds. “They just go about their business running the program really independently. They believe in the environment. It’s not because they’re going to get recognition, or someone has told them to,” Chimich says. “They’ve been an amazing group, we would not have the Garry oak forest in the condition it’s in without them.” Yundt’s artistic eye and techno-ability also come in handy helping other programs including drama and fine arts.

The annual awards recognize excellence in all aspects of the newspaper industry, including reporting, editing, photography, production, publishing, advertising and community contribution. Former News editor Edward Hill, now with sister paper Goldstream News Gazette, got top nod in the Environmental Initiative Award category for his in-depth feature called Park volunteers seek sounds of silence. Judges notes said: “Preserving quiet urban spaces is critical in a busy world. That’s why it’s heartening to know that Edward Hill’s stories about a soundscape project in Mount Douglas Park and two lots nearby helped lead to the protection of even more land in the District of Saanich. Nicely done!” The Saanich News’ sister papers on the South Island in Oak Bay, Victoria and West Shore (Goldstream) also won awards.

Police confirm murder-suicide
Saanich couple identified as pair who died last week Police confirmed that a pair of deaths in Saanich and Oak Bay this week were murder-suicide. Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit (VIIMCU) and Saanich Police detectives concluded their investigation into the deaths of two Saanich residents that occurred on Monday (April 28). The investigative team is still collaborating with the BC Coroners Service who continue to investigate the deaths. “Based on the evidence located at the residence in question, the untimely death of the female victim appears to have been as a result of the actions of another person” said Saanich Police Sgt. Steve Eassie. “Based on the evidence from the investigation, investigators believe that the death appears to have been caused by the victim’s husband.” Police and the BC Coroners Service confirmed the couple as Anne Harvey, 61 and her husband Neil Harvey, 59. Both were residents of Saanich and occupied the home in the 1800 block of Newton Street where the woman’s body was found. Her husband’s body was found later in the waters off Cattle Point. “The death of the male appears to have been an act of suicide. Based on the evidence that our investigators have recovered, these two events would appear to be an apparent murder-suicide.” Eassie said. Cause of death for both is still subject to further investigation by the coroner service. reporter@saanichnews.com
Residents smoked out
Saanich Fire continues to investigate a fire in the 1600 block of Alderwood Sunday afternoon. They responded to a report of smoke coming from a carport around 1:30 p.m. Upon arrival, crews noticed smoke coming from the back of a two-storey single family home. Four residents were home and safely vacated the building. The fire was quickly knocked down and confined to an area beneath an enclosed deck. No injuries were reported. The fire did an estimated $50,000 damage. reporter@saanichnews.com

Cash influx boosts creek Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society have a little help in their ongoing Douglas Creek enhancement project thanks to two recent grants. The project is part of a fiveyear salmon habitat plan now in its third year and Darrell Wick, president of the Friends of Mount Douglas Park Society, said the two most recent grants – from the Pacific Salmon Foundation for $10,000 and the Department of Fisheries and Ocean for $1,300 – will help immensely. “The grant from the Pacific Salmon Foundation is especially important because it signals a strong endorsement from experts on this type of work that we’re doing things correctly,” said Wick. Douglas Creek runs through the east side of the park and acts as the catchment for much of Gordon Head’s storm water.
“ … we’ve been able to do things like put in large rocks along the bed to protect the sides of the creek from erosion.” – Darrell Wick
“Historically the whole area surrounding Mount Doug Park was forest or farm land so there wasn’t the same amount of storm water and runoff that there is now,” explained Wick. “Now that it’s is so urbanized, during heavy rains the creek has storm surges that can destroy a lot of natural habitat along the bed. Through the project we’ve been able to do things like put in large rocks along the bed to protect the sides of the creek from erosion.” The Society and the District of Saanich are preparing to begin work on the pond behind the Douglas Creek Weir, he added. “We plan to enlarge the
pond behind the weir to allow for more silt to settle before it travels through the rest of the creek. This summer and fall we’ll be doing the clearing and prep work as well as surveying the area and getting it ready for work next year,” said Wick. The Society and the municipality also have plans to work on the upper section of the stream to enhance the salmon habitat. “We’ll be putting in features like spawning beds to encourage more salmon to return to the area,” he said, adding the creek has seen salmon returns for the past dozen or so years. “They don’t come in huge numbers but it is definitely encouraging to see them returning each year.” The District of Saanich is charged with executing the bulk of the enhancement projects. Society members will also help. For more information visit mountdouglaspark.ca.

OUR VIEW
A bridge to somewhere Replacing the Craigflower Bridge is a project that had to be done, but after just over a year of closure, drivers and businesses have to be excited about the reopening late last week. Commuters fumed through multiple delays during construction as First Nations human remains were discovered, then a design flaw sent architects back to the drawing board and a metal shortage postponed construction. Through it all, commuters detoured, carpooled, cycled and bused their way around the gap. And now, everyone’s happy. Admirals Road, from Island Highway in View Royal to Gorge Road in Saanich is open to travel after the Craigflower Bridge work finished to little fanfare. Though View Royal’s pre-party celebrating the wider boardwalk-like walkway across the bridge, which was opened a couple of weeks ago, was well attended the weekend before. Happier than the commuters are the businesses surrounding the bridge, those whose connection to the community was severed for much longer than planned. They’ve suffered a double-, or triple-whammy that started the summer of 2009 when Saanich spent three months rebuilding Admirals Bridge. That forced thousands of drivers to find a new route into Victoria, Esquimalt and Dockyard. The following year, View Royal began its Island Highway Improvement Project – a solid year of commuter gridlock as roadwork pushed hundreds of cars each morning onto the TransCanada Highway. Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard posted on Facebook last week there was no ceremony planned for the official opening, “just a sigh of relief as commuters get access the minute the contractor is done.” Any political machinations relating to the project aside, the bottom line is it’s open and area businesses, residents and commuters can move forward. So everyone’s happy, but that won’t last long. That McKenzie interchange is next on the list of major upgrades needed in the municipality. Let’s just hope this one goes smoother. What do you think?

Fed president Jim Sinclair was an early advocate for rescuing skilled trades from the secondclass status they received in a culture fixated on university for two generations. That culture has created glaring problems. There are too many institutions offering the same courses. As with health care, block funding is handed out without any serious effort to measure the results. For many students, university has become an extension of adolescence, finding one’s self through philosophy or film studies. Employers get their share of blame from McDonald. Not only did they chop up trades training to make it cheaper to obtain, their preferred source of skilled workers has been to poach from other employers who paid to train them. Skills-based employment data will be made public for students to make career choices. Finally, students coming out of high school will have a way to assess what they can expect after $50,000 or more is spent on higher education. It’s about time.

LETTERS Build bitumen jobs on the Alberta side Mr. Black does well to raise the red flag in his op-ed of April 23: Bitumen spill could destroy our coastline. His remedy is to build a refinery at Kitimat and build a pipeline to it from Alberta. In his next op-ed I ask him to address the question of a bitumen spill overland. But it seems to me there is an even better answer. It is to build the refinery or refineries in Alberta and ship the safer gasoline, kerosene and diesel fuel by rail, truck and pipeline to wherever they are needed. Or perhaps Mr. Black is thinking narrowly only of employment in British Columbia. I suggest it is a national issue. Jack E.G. Dixon Saanich
Black cash could subsidize other energy If David Black is prepared to help fund a refinery, let him do it at the source of the bitumen in Alberta to prevent the need for pipelines across B.C. The gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel could then be used in Canada so we do not have to import it.
Alternatively, Mr. Black could use his great wealth to subsidize the many forms of alternate energy which we need to transition into, which would employ many British Columbians for generations. The potential for geothermal, tidal and wave-action, wind and solar forms of energy production can be used to allow the world to get off its dependence on globally-damaging petrochemical products.

Gaming Grant helped to fund the free league, which offers under 8 to under 15 ages the chance to play without any fees, an important consideration as B.C. has the highest youth poverty rate in Canada. With high childhood obesity rates and Type 2 diabetes on the increase it is important that, along with healthy nutrition, our youth get off the couch, put down their devices and get some healthy exercise to help

mitigate the effects of a sedentary lifestyle. Parents could also help by not driving little Johnny and Jane everywhere and choosing one major active sport for their children rather than a whole range of supervised activities that may overwhelm them and turn kids off sports altogether. Check out the available programs at our Recreation Centres and see what interests their children. Also, let them run and exercise in free-play and use their imagination, something that the Kid-Sport organization encourages. Enjoying healthy activities in youth will hopefully continue into adulthood, reducing the strain on our healthcare system and improving quality of life. Councillor Paul Gerrard.

Topaz event leaps at Guinness attempt Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
In it’s fourth year the Anneswer to Cancer campaign leaps onto the world stage – hopefully. With a standard 300 to 500 people turning up each spring for the soccer tournament and family event that raises cash for Victoria Hospice, it wasn’t a monumental gap to hope for 600. In the previous three years, this is the fourth, the soccer community has raised $120,000. The positive reaction, in form of money and support keeps organizers like Steph Steiner, motivated to continue and keep things fresh. So this year they chose to attempt a Guinness World Record. “It’s not a huge leap. It’s a leap for sure, but our hope was hey here’s a little carrot maybe it’ll entice some other parts of the community. We have our niche … we thought this might be a nice way to attract some other people to the event. We’re very hopeful,” Steiner said.
Six months ago he applied to Guinness online and two months later learned the attempt was accpeted. “There is about 12 pages on rules about witnesses and video surveillance,” he said. “It’s an excruciating process … then we have to submit all our evidence to them. They’re very official.” They’ll attempt to break the World Record for most consecutive soccer passes, currently at 596 people. It’s open to those 10 years or older. “We know we have 600 people who’ve said yes … it’s harder to get people to register,” Steiner said. “Our angle now is we’ll take anybody who can pass a ball 12 yards, that’s what has to be done.” The world record challenge runs from noon to 2 p.m. After the attempt, the event slides into a soccer tournament. The event is Saturday, May 10 in Topaz Park on the Finlayson turf. Visit anneswertocancer.com online to register. reporter@saanichnews.com

Look helps artists be seen
Nate Clark News staff
The Look Show isn’t a contest – it’s a celebration. There are no winners or losers. The goal of the show is to give artists an opportunity to get noticed by casual art enthusiasts and aficionados alike, perhaps for the very first time. Artists of every level 115 Thorncliffe Park Drive are invited toToronto participate. Ontario M4H 1M1 “After seeing the 300 pieces on Tel 416•696•2853 display last year, I can say that the visual appeal of the show is absolutely amazing,” said Nicole Oien, who works with the Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria – the event’s organizing
group. “You get to see art from all over the community, from many different people, all gathered in one place.” For 15 years, the Look Show has been a launching pad for the careers of Victoria’s budding painters, photographers, jewellers, weavers and sculptors. From now to May 24, 4,000 square feetDocket: at Saanich’s 23302 Uptown shopping centre will- JWT be given Client: 247 over to Job local artists to display Participation Ads Name: their creations. Production Contact: Lara Vanderheide “It’s not juried, it’s for everybody,” said Oien. “It’s a chance for all of the B:5.8125” community to display their art and be seen.” T:5.8125” This year, the month-long S:5.8125”

show will also feature live performances, demonstrations and readings by the artists, who will explain the details of their creative processes. “It’s the first time that we’ll offer an honourarium for people who want to talk about their art. We’ll have singers, dancers, painters – photographers will bring their lenses and cameras and explain how they get their shots.” The main level of Uptown will be transformed into a richly textured world of colour, shape and emotion – heaven for any art lover.

Share in the vibrant dance and drama as Shan-e-Punjab Dance, Heritage and Performing Arts School brings its annual year end show to the Farquhar Auditorium at the University of Victoria this Thursday. “We formed by a group of girls who did not know each other, but came together for Bhangra dancing,” said organizer Sonia Grewal. In December, the school celebrated 20 years of teaching cultural dance, song, and drama from India with focus on the Punjabi region. “Our goals are simple. We listen to youth, we hear their ideas and help to apply those ideas whether that is to a style of dance, dance choreography, dance steps, also if students wish to implement a new idea … or want to build skills in a future career such as marketing.” The University of Victoria venue serves several purposes, one being to promote education. “I can not explain how students just love performing on the big stage and they just want to come back for more, and that for me tells me that I am doing the right thing for youth to build a positive society and a positive environment built on relationships and team building,” Grewal said. Get tickets to the Shan-E-Punjab show online at uvic.ca/auditorium or by calling 250-686-3825. Doors open at 6 p.m. on May 8. reporter@saanich news.com

When the girls relay team dropped the baton on first exchange the race should have been over. But the foursome from Lambrick Park’s track and field team dug in and with stubborn determination came back for the win. “They went from first to last on the first pass and came back to win, it’s one of the most amazing races I’ve ever seen,” said coach Tom Turnbull. The moment was one of many, where an indoor venue threw some kids a little off track, but for the most part, the team of 26 took it in stride late last month on the East Coast of Canada. Lambrick Park’s track and field team headed east for the the New Brunswick Indoor Spring Challenge at the University of Moncton in the return portion of an exchange between Lambrick and New Brunswick’s Bonar Law Memorial high school, explained head coach Tom Turnbull. For many of the 26 it was a first chance at an indoor venue. “It’s not a big wide track so it’s harder to run a shorter radius,” Turnbull explained. “The kids were mentioning it’s a little
tougher with the sharper curve.” However, a controlled temperature more than made up for the adjusted track. “They have snow out there so we didn’t have to worry about that,” he added. A handful participated in a previous exchange with Ottawa two years ago. In this exchange, Lambrick fared well, the coach feels. “They’re defending provincial champions for the last eight years,” he said of Bonar Law’s track team. “So it was a pretty big accomplishment to win a lot of events against them.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Out-of-towners may have taken the top team spots in the annual Victoria Police High School Golf Tournament at Olympic View in Colwood, but local golfers were in the hunt for the individual crown. Alex Park of Vancouver’s St. George’s, who shot a modest 77 on Day 1 last Tuesday, improved by 10 strokes on Wednesday. His tournament-best 67 gave him the individual crown at 144 by one stroke over Mount Doug’s Mike Griffin, who shot 74-71–145. Keaton Gudz of Spectrum was in a tie for third at 146 with both Edward Metcalfe and Ian Kim from Surrey’s Earl Marriott, and Santiago Buorro from Kwalikum in Qualicum Beach. Other top finishing local golfers included Lawren Rowe of Mount Doug, seventh at 147 (72-75); Jeff Riches of Claremont, eighth at 152 (79-73), and Luc Quigley of Claremont, tied for 10th at 154 (80-74). Earl Marriott 1 from Surrey collected the team title, posting a 448 total. The foursome, including Kim, Metcalfe, Eric Macdonald and Seo Ho Choi was consistent, going 223-225 over the two days. Finishing second at 457 was Kwalikum 1, followed by St. George’s 1 in third at 462, Claremont 1 (Jeff Riches, Cam Bourque, Josh Miller, Mitch Gurney) fourth at 466 and Earl Marriott 2 fifth at 468. Other Greater Victoria schools in the top 20 were Mount Douglas 1 (Lawren Rowe, Mike Griffin, Joe Clarke, Colin Baldwin) at 474 in seventh spot, Spectrum 1 (Keaton Gudz, Justin Bao, Daryl Attrill, Reed Maas) in eighth at 476, Belmont 1 (Tyler Stanton, Ryan Backhouse, Tyson Girardet and Bryce Tickner) ninth at 481 and Claremont 2 (Alex Cordero, Luc Quigley, Graeme Kaye, Jeremy Smith) in 11th at 486. Teams from around the Capital Region, Vancouver Island and Lower Mainland played the 36-hole tournament. reporter@saanichnews.com

Legal blindness A person is legally blind when their visual functions fall below certain levels. If visual acuity cannot be improved to 20/200 (the big E) WITH glasses or contact lenses a person is considered legally blind. I’ve often had patients state that they are “legally blind without their glasses.” Blindness is defined in terms of the best-corrected vision with glasses or contact lenses in place.

Dementia program helps shape journey for families Helping patients, care partners and families deal The journey with dementia poses many challenges. For Victoria families and caregivers on the journey, having an understanding of what they will face can make all the difference. That’s why the non-profit Alzheimer Society of B.C. will bring its educational program, Shaping the Journey: living with dementia, to the city this month. “It helps families build the knowledge, skills and confidence to live well with dementia,” says Emily Pridham, the Society’s First Link program coordinator for Greater Victoria. Shaping the Journey is designed specifically for people experiencing the early symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease or other dementia.
It is also intended for care partners, family members, or friends. That includes many people in Victoria, since an estimated one in three Canadians knows someone with Alzheimer’s disease. “Educating yourself will allow you to gain an understanding of what you and your family members are faced with, giving you the skills and confidence to maintain quality of life, both now and in the future,” Pridham says. The program covers: • The brain and dementia. • Hearing the diagnosis. • Maintaining your general health. • Life after diagnosis. • Planning ahead. • Maintaining your spirit. Participants will not only learn about the disease, but they will also meet others going through similar experiences and learn strategies to cope with changes and maximize quality of life.
Registration is required to participate in Shaping the Journey. People with dementia, and their care partners, can sign up for four Tuesday sessions running May 27 through June 17 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. Care partners on their own can sign up for four Mondays, May 26 through June 16, from 5:30 to 8 p.m. All sessions take place at the Alzheimer Resource Centre, 202 – 306 Burnside Rd. West. For more information and to register contact Pridham at 250382-2033 or epridham@alzheimerbc.org. For more information on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias, visit the Alzheimer Society of B.C. website at www. alzheimerbc.org.

Cadboro Bay BIA renews for 10 years Devon MacKenzie News staff
The Cadboro Bay Village Business Improvement Area renewed their organization and secured funding with the District of Saanich last month for another 10 years.
The BIA applies for funding annually from the District and must renew their not-for-profit organization every 10 years. “We came up on our 10 year anniversary this year which meant we had to renew the BIA and get all the members to sign up again,” explained the organization’s president and owner of Smugglers
Cove Pub, Brian Dunn. Dunn went on to explain the funding, $15,000 a year from the district, is procured through a levy against property taxes for the 20 or so members in the BIA. “The $15,000 we get every year from the municipality is actually a portion of the property taxes the business owners

pay annually. We use the money to put on two main functions each year, the summer festival which coincides with Sunfest at Gyro Park and our Christmas carolling event. We get a great turnout for both and it really encourages a sense of community amongst the business owners, residents and visitors.” Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said he is supportive of the BIA’s renewal and their efforts to promote the area. “It lets them compete like a mall, so it allows them to market together and do promotions together,” said Leonard. “Of course in a mall they don’t have a choice but in Cadboro Bay Village each of the merchants have a choice (to participate) and they choose to do (it).” Dunn said this year the bulk of the money, as it usually does, will go towards the BIA’s two big events, but some will go to developing a new web page and other small projects to increase the profile of Cadboro Bay. reporter@peninsulanewsreview.com

Grant funds play Physical literacy comes to Craigflower Kyle Wells News staff
A $100,000 grant is helping Craigflower elementary school offer greater physical education and increased opportunities for its students. With the grant, the 160-student school is able to offer after-school sports programs it would otherwise not be able to. As a small, public school, funding is limited and principal Lynne Moorhouse said they have had to pick their battles. “Schools have to make a choice,” Moorhouse said. “You can have a specialist, we have a librarian, but it’s only one day a week. … We have computers.” The money is coming by way of $50,000 from the Rotary Club of Victoria, with the funds being matched by the Victoria Foundation. The money is being used to fund the ABC’s of Physical Literacy program developed by the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence.
Beyond teacher-led PE classes, the school has not been able to offer physical education programming at the school. The $100,000 will go towards physical education programs during class time and free after-school programs four days per week. “We know that the more handeye coordination, the breakdown of skills, the more development of that part of the brain, the better your reading, the better your tracking, the better your overall health,” Moorhouse said. “PISE provides that healthy, necessary brain development that helps the children academically.” Moorhouse said growing up she would walk or run everywhere as a child, playing outside in the evenings. “Our kids don’t have any of that,“ she said. “What PISE does is that missing component we have, especially in underprivileged children and in poverty situations, and children that just don’t have an opportunity to have a wide variety of experiences.” Funds for the grant were raised through the sale of raffle tickets.

Saanich scores provincial nod for Moving Forward The District of Saanich won a provincial Award of Excellence from the BC Recreation and Parks Association for Moving Forward, a recreation-centred program for youth at risk. The program gives youth involved in restorative justice programs the opportunity to spend some community service hours participating in programs at recreation centres. “The Moving Forward program demonstrates exemplary creativity in reframing the potentially negative experience of doing community service as part of a restorative justice program as an opportunity to reach out to youth at risk who may not have had the means or the confidence to participate in healthy, positive recreation,” said BCRPA CEO, Suzanne Allard Strutt. The goal of Moving Forward is to foster positive relationships between youth at risk and their mentors and to support the creation and maintenance of healthy behaviours.
