where more than 200 Shan-e-Punjab students will take to the stage to dance Bhangra and Bollywood numbers. “Shan-e-Punjab is the first of its kind and has been in operation since 1993,” says director Sonia Grewal. “It is a premier school and a youthled organization that has taught hundreds of students over the years, including providing key performing and leadership opportunities for youth,” Grewal says. Vaisakhi took on special

significance for the Sikh community in 1699, when the 10th of the Sikh Guru-Prophets—Guru Gobind Singh — formally established the Khalsa Panth (the community of committed Sikhs) and publicly entrusted it with leadership. Historically, Vaisakhi is a harvest festival celebrated on April 13 or 14, and is also referred to as the Sikh New Year.

Nothing says summer quite like inching the car along under the blistering hot sun as workers in reflective vests usher one-way traffic through plastic pylons. Make no mistake: it’s summer construction season in Saanich, and two major projects will soon be creating inconveniences for drivers. To start, Saanich crews will begin a full shut-down of the Patricia Bay Highway on-ramp at Quadra Street beginning May 19, thanks to a faulty sewage pipe. The northbound on-ramp access will be closed until June 2, and Saanich’s engineering director Harley Machielse is recommending drivers loop south and access the Pat Bay northbound from Mckenzie Avenue, or detour north and use the access at Royal Oak Drive. Saanich’s big-ticket roadworks item this year is a phase of the $5.6-million Tillicum Complete Streets Project. As of today (May 6), there will be a full road closure on Tillicum Road between Carey Road and the TransCanada Highway. Crews will be working along this 1,250metre stretch for the next two months, although pedestrian

traffic will still be able to get through the area, Machielse said. Cyclists will be asked to detour or dismount and walk their bikes through the construction zone. Side phases of the Tillicum project stretch north on Glanford Avenue to Mann Avenue. Saanich acknowledges that closing the well-used Tillicum artery and Quadra on-ramp will cause headaches and is asking for patience as traffic is re-routed. “To prevent delays and unnecessary traffic congestion, we ask that drivers plan alternates routes and avoid this section of Tillicum Road for this phase of the project,” Machielse said. The two lane plan for Tillicum will maintain access to residential driveways and install medians to calm traffic and create “pedestrian refuges,” he added. The end goal of the Complete Streets project is to provide safer access for pedestrians and cyclists while upgrading underground utilities. Saanich crews are also in the final stages of the Cook Street improvement project from Quadra to Maplewood Road. That area is expected to re-open to traffic later this month. reporter@saanichnews.com

Saanich’s claim to brewery fame still a mystery Travis Paterson News staff

Despite a boom in local breweries in Greater Victoria over the past 15 years, the Island’s most populous municipality remains without a brewery of its own. While it’s only a matter of time before such an establishment puts down roots in Saanich, rumours have long circled that the District was home to the first brewery in the region – and possibly in B.C. The tale goes like this: Germanborn William Steinberger started brewing beer in a log cabin on the east shore of Swan Lake in 1858, soon after he showed up on the shores of Vancouver Island during the Fraser River gold rush. But instead of chasing gold nuggets, Steinberger opened a brewery instead. However, the region’s lead brewing historian, Esquimalt archivist Greg Evans, believes the Swan Lake brewery story may not hold water. “The earliest documented instance for a brewery here is (Steinberger’s) Victoria Brewery in 1859, which was downtown,” Evans said. “I believe Victoria Brewery was producing earlier than 1859, (but) I’m still working on pinning that down.” For decades, Evans has remained unquenched in his thirst for the knowledge of who brewed the first batch of beer in the region, and where they did it. Most suspect Steinberger relocated his operation to downtown Victoria, which opened as the Victoria Brewing Company at Discovery and Government streets. Newspaper ads show up as early as March 1859. “We know it was Steinberger, but the more I look at notes and drawings of Swan Lake from 1858, there’s nothing to suggest any-

thing there other than a glorified trail,” said the sleuthful Evans. “Until recently, I bought into the belief (the first brewery) was at Swan Lake as well.” When he’s not working for Esquimalt, Evans is busy documenting the history of breweries in other parts of B.C. He plans to turn his focus to the mystery of the Swan Lake brewery one day soon and solve it for good. “One of the reasons I have a hard time believing it was Swan Lake is because it was reported in those days that the lake was polluted, which is perhaps why Steinberger moved downtown,” he said. “Why would he brew his beer four miles from town, keg it and drive it into town on an uneven trail and risk having it topple over?” Prior to Steinberger, there were reportedly other attempts to brew beer in Victoria. Wouldbe brewers were tempted by the Hudson’s Bay Company’s surplus store of grains in the 1850s. During the Crimean War (1853 to 1856), it was reported HBC was forced to stockpile grain it had been selling to Russia due to the

Did you know? Zoning is one of the hurdles to establish a modern brewery in Saanich, says Joe Wiebe, Victoria-based author of the Craft Beer Revolution. “A lot of the recent breweries have chosen Rock Bay or Esquimalt because of the zoning,” Wiebe says. “Saanich is such a big municipality, there are bound to be many good location options, perhaps the Vanalman area. It’s a matter of getting the right zoning in the right location.” Wiebe’s 2015 update to the Craft Beer Revolution – a guide to all the breweries in B.C. – added 40 new breweries after

Oast houses, used to dry hops, at Towner farm in North Saanich. There is some evidence to suggest hops were grown in Saanich, but commercial growing occurred early on in Victoria and North Saanich. Island’s colonial allegiance to Britain. But the facts are blurred between legend and truth. A Colonist article from March 10, 1957, states Kenneth Mckenzie’s Craigflower farmlands (the Puget Sound Agricultural Co., a subsidiary of HBC) was successfully growing grain, and suggested that beer could be produced locally from this grain. But HBC, which reportedly wasn’t interested in supporting a brewery, is said to have refused to allow Mckenzie to use the grain for that its 2012 first run. The Thirsty Writer, as he’s also known, has visited most B.C. breweries and believes there is still room for producers in the Capital Region. “There’s still tons of room in the market,” he says. “It’s all about focusing locally now so each region, town or neighbourhood can have its own brewery.” People love to have a place to walk to fill their growler (twolitre jug), or to stop by on the commute home, he adds. The next brewery planned in Greater Victoria is the West Shore’s Loghouse Brewpub.

purpose. The story also states that hops still existed at Swan Lake in 1957 and were planted by Steinberger. This is some of the strongest evidence for a Swan Lake brewery, but Evans’ remains skeptical as there are no supporting documents. Aside from when his brewery started, Steinberger has a welldocumented history of brewing in Victoria and farming in Saanich. He may have started with a partner to get Victoria Brewery started, and certainly took one on by the time he sold it in 1860. The brewery merged with Phoenix in 1893 and became the VictoriaPhoenix Brewery, which continued to change hands and brewed until 1981 in its iconic six-storey brick building at Discovery and Government streets. It was producing Lucky Lager in the latter part of the 20th century and its building was demolished in 1982. As for Steinberger, the British Colonist documents that he married and kept a farm in Saanich near Elk Lake. That supports a possible theory by Evans – just a guess for now – that Steinberger’s first brewery may have been at Elk Lake, but was mistaken for Swan Lake. Newspapers of the day commonly referred to Elk

Lake as ‘the lake.’ This would make sense because Elk Lake was next to the more established roadway (now the Pat Bay Highway), and Victoria later drew water from Elk Lake by pipe until 1873. Evans is befuddled by the absence of any photographs of Steinberger, despite his many ventures on record. “It strikes me as odd we can’t find pictures of this guy,” Evans said. “Why are things so hard to pin down with him?” reporter@saanichnews.com

Prohibition short-lived n Prohibition in B.C. was enacted from 1917 to 1921, but it gave the Liquor Control Board ample opportunity to set strict controls once the drink flowed freely. Saanich and Esquimalt opened beer parlours in 1925 following 1924 provincial plebiscite to sell beer by the glass. While Saanich and Esquimalt were in favour of the relaxed laws, Vancouver and Victoria were not. The votes were said to be close.

The Victoria Conservatory of Music hosts its 33rd annual Mother’s Day Garden Tour this weekend, with nine sites open to viewing, with a background of music. These pockets of greenery and flowering plants, accented with natural and manmade elements, are spread throughout Greater Victoria, from the national treasure that is Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site in Colwood, to classic Oak Bay and Saanich gardens with contemporary updates. Adding to the ambiance, students and faculty members from the conservatory will perform at many of the stops on the tour, while other sites will have recorded music playing throughout. As well, master horticulturists will be on hand to answer general and specific questions about gardening. A perennial favourite, the annual plant sale, will happen

at the Midland Road location on the tour in Oak Bay. Tour attendees are also invited to stop by the grand finale to the weekend, the Joy of Life concert led by Daniel Lapp at the conservatory’s Alix Goolden Performance Hall, starting at 3 p.m. Sunday. Garden tour tickets allow the holders $10 off the concert ticket price. The tour runs Saturday and Sunday, May 9 and 10. Tickets are $30 (children 12-under are free) and may be purchased online and at many locations throughout Greater Victoria. Find more information at vcm.bc.ca/ticketsgarden-tour. All proceeds support the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

Fry release set near Mt. Doug There will be a release of 35,000 chum fry salmon into the pond behind the Douglas Creek weir on Friday, May 8 at 10:30 a.m. The fry, sourced from Howard English Hatchery at Goldstream, will be released after a short educational talk by Hatchery expert Peter McCully about importance of chum

salmon for Douglas Creek and wider ecosystem. McCully will also discuss the fry, how long they will remain in the creek and when neighbours can expect to see the fish return after their extensive Pacific Ocean journey. This event is open to all, particularly young children who can help carry a bucket with fry for the creek. The best access to the Douglas Creek weir is from Edgemont Rd park entrance or Robinwood entrance.

Police camp-out raises Special Olympics cash About 50 people gathered last Friday to cheer on three police officers who were brave enough to camp out all weekend at Uptown Centre. Free the Fuzz, part of the Victoria Law Enforcement Torch Run, raised about $6,500 for the B.C. Special Olympics over the threeday event. Saanich Police Const. Lisa Bruschetta, who organized the event, was joined by fellow police officers Cpl. Pat Bryant of Central Saanich Police Service and Const. Sheri Lucas of Oak Bay Police Depart-

ment, who all camped out in a tent atop scaffolding in Uptown square for two nights. The Victoria Law Enforcement Torch Run is part of a global movement that raises vital funds and awareness for Special Olympics. Since 1990, the B.C. chapter has raised more than $3 million. This year’s Torch Run will take place on June 13, when law enforcement personnel and Special Olympics athletes come together to walk and run for five kilometers along the Galloping Goose Trail. editor@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW

Be taxed or expect less Government spending is on the rise and it’s here to stay. Lists and their parameters vary, but most rankings have Canadians inside the top 10 of the most heavily-taxed residents in the world. Canadians hold health care and education near and dear. We should. Despite wait times and frustrations, we can anecdotally be proud of our universal health care and education systems. Just don’t call it free. Health care and education spending rises every year, regardless of which party is in power in Ottawa or Victoria. Technological advances and the accompanying gadgets/miracle machines are more and more expensive to buy every year. On average, provinces spend approximately 40 per cent of their total budgets on health care. Education funding, as a percentage of provincial budgets, is between 15 to 20 per cent. That means, conservatively, 60 per cent of the provincial government’s budget is spent on health care and education. And that’s not going to decline soon as the demand on the healthcare system continues to rise due to an aging population. As those costs rise and eat up more and more of the budget, there will be less money for everything else. All of this means there is less money for expenditures beyond the basics. The condition of provincial and municipal roadways will become increasingly worse, despite a commitment from the federal government for the first time to create a stable fund for municipal infrastructure projects over the next decade. What can be done other than lower our expectations? The easy answer is to raise taxes. There are some who believe that more money in the pockets of residents makes for better local economies. But there is a lot of fat that remains to be trimmed from government pet projects – millions of dollars in advertising just one issue that comes to mind here. Brace yourself. Taxes are either going to have to continue to go up or we are all going to need to expect less from our government. What do you think?

Kids need urban outdoors access Re: Saanich kids go wild with nature learning, News, (April 24) It’s good to hear that kids are being encouraged to play outside in nature the way previous generations did. But the need for a special program like “Wild to Child” to accomplish this begs the question: Why have kids lost “that exposure, that experience with natural areas” in the first place? Is this because green space is being eaten up by development? Mr. Webb of Wild to Child says “I see a lot of kids growing up in the city not really having access to (nature)”, and Ms Robinson of HAT says that as a result they don’t value natural ecosystems. Do parents, politicians and policy makers value them? To “experience natural areas” kids need to access them in their own neighbourhoods under their own steam, which would mean limiting density and preserving gardens and parks. Play should be spontaneous and adult-free, and the “right to a healthy environment” means to an environment of

extensive green space complete with bird habitat and urban wildlife. It’s tragic to think future kids might see these things only on a computer screen. SB Julian Saanich

Local tanker spill would be disastrous

Re: Coast Guard hysteria sinks lower, B.C. Views (April 29) I think the operative word that eludes Mr. Fletcher’s description of the recent spill and cleanup of oil in English Bay is “preparedness.” He derides just about everyone who might have a criticism of our current federal government policies regarding the West Coast in general, because disaster after disaster hasn’t piled upon itself like so many shipwrecks on the rocks. In his own words: “It’s been two years, and nobody has [drowned]”this in regard to the closing of Kitsilano Coast Guard station. Likewise, the recent oil spill can be considered a trial run for “the big one” (not the earthquake/ tsunami big one), as tanker traffic

is ramped up, even as resources to battle what some people call the inevitable (not Mr. Fletcher though) are reduced. The English Bay fuel spill was 3,000 litres. A supertanker spill could be as much as 300,000 barrels of oil. Are we prepared for that? From the example of the Exxon Valdez in Prince William Sound, Alaska, which was a 250,000-barrel spill, we are not ready for much more than a ship casually pumping out its ballast. But, according to Mr. Fletcher, because a catastrophic spill hasn’t happened, it apparently can never happen. The “hysteria” surrounding our wee oil spill is nothing more than shrieking, “the sky is falling, the sky is falling.” His response to media and public responses over the oil spill, if we apply it to the schools across this province, leads one to argue there is no need for earthquake upgrades because there hasn’t yet been a school that has collapsed from an earthquake.

Time for teachers to question union Griffin’s second decision came After the first few glum lines down in early 2014: it was far of his speech, it was difficult worse for B.C. schools than to tell anything had changed when judges decided in 2005 for B.C. Teachers’ Federation that teachers can bring union president Jim Iker as he took propaganda into his familiar place before classrooms. the TV cameras last Did the week. government bargain Iker droned on about in bad faith? No. Did how B.C. schools they conspire to are under-funded by provoke a strike?

No. Turns the union membership out our kids are into last year. not just “working The B.C. Court of Appeal had just Tom Fletcher conditions” for teachers, and public overturned a bizarre B.C.

They remember The appeal court confirmed at great length what I said when a union that scrapped report

cards, disrupted administration and forced schools to shut down at graduation time. The strike then dragged into the fall, as the government held the line on public service spending. And what was the key issue that kept schools closed? It wasn’t special needs support, where student performance has continued to improve. No, it was the BCTF demanding a raise twice as big as other public sector unions had already accepted. In the end, their paltry strike fund long gone, the union grudgingly accepted the going rate. They figured they had the elected government on the run in court. Wrong again. Next up for the ministry is taking control of professional development. A bill before the legislature will enforce standards, once the NDP is done denouncing it. Singing Solidarity Forever around a campfire and calling it paid professional development (a real example, by the way) will soon go the way of the union-controlled College of Teachers – onto the scrap heap of history. There are BCTF members who understand how ill-served they are by their union. They are looking critically at the performance of their leaders, who are too often distracted by grandiose “social justice” campaigns as far away as the Middle East. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

With the arrival of spring and summer comes a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an elbow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fingernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fly-ball. Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fist, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye.

Past award winners include the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles and the Chicago History Museum. editor@saanichnews.com

shredding event at Tillicum Centre to benefit the Rainbow Kitchen. The event attracted hundreds of people with boxes full of bank statements and other confidential documents. “We’ve had a line-up since we opened and the cars won’t stop coming,” said Rosalind Scott, executive director of the Better Business Bureau Vancouver Island chapter. The by-donation event benefitted the volunteer-run Rainbow Kitchen, which provides 38,000 meals each year to people in need at 500 Admirals Rd. in Esquimalt. “BBB are fabulous partners, we’re so fortunate to have them partner with us,” said Jeff Dubney, Rainbow Kitchen co-ordinator and volunteer, who was fast at work directing cars at the shredding event. Scott said BBB’s objective is to make everyone safe, and shredding confidential documents fits that mandate. While BBB doesn’t track the number of people who use shredding services each year, they do track the weight of paper that they’ve shredded. Scott expected to put through 1,500 filing boxes – or 10,000 pounds – of documents

Bob Clarke has captured a visual history of the gardens at the Horticultural Centre of the Pacific with an insider’s perspective, but he hopes plenty of outsiders see it. Clarke has arranged a dozen billboards with photos old and new, and with hand-typed histories. They’re on display everyday this week, until Saturday (May 9), in the HCP pavilion, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. “The original plans for HCP were grandiose with an entry way off of Interurban that would wind up the hill, and with a great building to greet people, but the economic recession of 1981 changed all that,” Clarke said. The 83-year-old brought about $2,500 worth of funds and a truck full of motivation when he told HCP co-founder and former president Bill Kempster that he wanted to install a new Japanese garden on the grounds. “Coming in with money made it easy for (the HCP) to say yes,” Clarke recalled. He started the Japanese garden around 1990 and has curated it ever since. During that time, it’s remained selfsufficient, thanks in part to his own fundraising and the efforts of his volunteers, one who has put as much as $25,000 of his own money into the gardens,

Clarke said. “There are a lot of tales to tell about this place, a lot of hard work that’s gone into it,” he added. The idea for the history boards, which stand about four feet wide and four feet tall, came from their discovery. “The (HCP) carpenter

Clarke said. “This has been a fun collaboration people should come and see. I’ll have to return a lot of the photos as they’re from personal collections, so I’m not sure when we’ll have it out again.”

made them and I uncovered them in storage, I never knew they existed.” Upon seeing them, Clarke’s skill as a professional sign-maker took hold. “The first time I ever came here was to sell Kempster a wood-carved sign that still exists here,”

Among the most popular events at the Victoria Highland Games and Celtic Festival are the caber flip, the hammer toss and the whisky tasting. The latter is not always synonymous with the annual weekend event, which happens May 15 to 17 at Topaz Park. But the Whisky Tasting School is a lock to sell out early. There are eight different sessions of Whisky Tasting School this year, and registration is open now. “It’s perfect for new drinkers to get a feel for the different styles of whiskies and for others to experience whisky they haven’t had before,” said Calgary-based Roberto Roberti, who started Barrica Wine and Spirits and represents a variety of whiskies. Roberti has led classes twice before at the Games as well as a Grand Masters Class at the Victoria Whisky Festival, which takes place each January in downtown Victoria. Roberti will lead A Trip Across Scotland at 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 17. The tasting will provide an opportunity for guests to nail down the geographical and historical whisky map of Scotland. “We’ll sample one or two whiskies from each region: Islay, Speyside, Highlands, Campbelltown and Orkney, to study the different profiles.” His other class is a history on Tullibardine (3:30 p.m. Saturday), which started in the 1300s and provided beers to King James IV in 1488. Tullibardine produces Highland single malt whiskies. “When the modern-day distillery opened in 1948, it was on the same site as the historic brewery. Because it served beer to King James, it is able to bear the royal symbol on its bottles,” Roberti said. Registration is $35 for all sessions except Mon-

The Saanich Fusion Old School men’s masters soccer team (over 35) came within a win of reaching the B.C. cup final in a 5-1 loss to Vancouver Croatia over the weekend. The match was tied 1-1 at halftime but the experience and depth of the Vancouver Croatia side showed in the second half, as Croatia scored four straight goals. “It was a great learning experience for the team as they start to show better results in the Masters category,” said Vancouver Island Soccer League president Vince Greco. In the U-21 semifinal the Victoria Highlanders fell 1-0 to Surrey United. The Highlanders had their chances, including a series of late attacks but left too many chances squandered, ending an otherwise good year, Greco said.
