local society dedicated to feeding lowincome people in Victoria has received a significant donation that will help get them through most of the year. The 100+ Women Who Care Victoria, a group that meets four times a year to raise money for community causes, donated $30,000 to the Victoria Rainbow Kitchen Society on Friday. The organization serves hot lunches to more than 125 people daily (mainly street youth, seniors on low incomes, single parents, pre-school children, the unemployed and individuals on disability pension), Monday to Friday throughout the year. The donation will help the kitchen buy produce and protein that has been missing in the meals served due to lack of funding. For the last 14 years, the Rainbow Kitchen has been running on an annual operating budget of $78,000 and more than 200 volunteers. editor@vicnews.com

Young said the CRD has already spent around $100 million on the sewage treatment project and achieved very little. He said the Westside and Eastside committees were established “to get the professionals, not politicians, who know what they’re doing to evaluate the site and then bring it forward.” “The site may not have merit or be picked, but the public has the right to know. You don’t get five politicians together and say, ‘This is no good,’” said Young, referring to the majority vote at Saanich council to reject the site. “Sure it’s ALR, but it’s in the middle of a forested area, it’s near an interchange, we have residual use for green initiatives right there, and it’s not too small like McLoughlin. This site could do everything on that site and virtually nobody would even see the building.” Peter Ferguson, an engineer who did preliminary evaluative work on the Watkiss Way site for Vandekerkove, told council the site contained ample space for both wastewater treatment and biosolids processing facilities. Ray Parks of BIM Consulting, also speaking in the interest of Vandekerkove, said VGH had expressed interest in harvesting recovered heat and gas from the sewage treatment process. Parks added that a greenhouse operator had also expressed interest in

partnering on the project to use recovered heat. Coun. Colin Plant noted at the council meeting that sewage treatment sites have already been built on ALR land in both Sooke and on the Saanich Peninsula, and said council should keep an open mind until it has more information. The CRD voted in 2006 to not consider ALR land for the core area sewage treatment facilities. Young said rather than use the “lame excuse” of protecting ALR land, Saanich should analyze the site “from a viability option.” “Why would you make a decision that takes out a site with good partners like the hospital for heat recovery and greenhouse production. It does have some merit. If it fails the test, at least the public won’t ask the question about it later. Then we as politicians are very transparent,” he said. Before the site was turned down, Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell had the final word in council chambers: “I think this site has huge potential and this will be a watershed moment in the creation of our sewage project. … This council will essentially be responsible for eliminating an option for the public.” Voting in favour of the Watkiss Way site for consideration were Atwell, coun Fred Haynes, coun Colin Plant and coun Leif Wergeland. editor@saanichnews.com

Pride Week a family affair The Victoria Pride Society’s mission is to empower those who are, or think they might be, gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, twospirited, intersex, and their friends and allies – it’s a mission they take to the streets each year in growing numbers during Pride Week. Victoria’s Pride Week began 20 years ago with a picnic in Beacon Hill Park and continues to focus on inclusiveness, accessibility and diversity and includes many family-friendly events. It was not so long ago that Pride Week activities would garner little mention in the local newspapers. At the time the so-called “alternative lifestyle” was something hidden in the shadows, Pride events left to the alternative papers or notices in the classified section. In recent years, Victoria’s Pride Week has increased exponentially with this year’s Pride Parade entries at an all-time high and vendors wanting booths at the MacDonald Park festival lining up for space. Pride Week has actually become so mainstream that a group has sprung up to organize the Alt Pride Fest, accessible, celebratory, trans-inclusive, free (or sliding scale from $0), and open to people of all ages events. Today, The Victoria Pride Society is one of a few national Pride Societies who encourage all people to walk the Pride Parade route – generating thousands of people proudly walking the streets of Victoria for themselves, colleagues or loved ones. Whether you’re on the sidelines in the crowd cheering on the participants, or marching proudly down the streets yourself, all Victorians should take pride in our city’s diversity and acceptance of all people. Pride Week culminates with the annual Pride Parade and festival on Sunday, July 5 at MacDonald Park with thousands of guests enjoying an afternoon of entertainment and celebration. Go to victoriapridesociety.org for more information. The third annual Alt Pride Two-Spirit, Trans and Genderqueer Solidarity March takes place Saturday, July 4.

Pride Week is a celebration of social victories not just earned, but deserved. It is a time for reflection and hope for the future. It is a coming-together of kindred souls who have battled the same demons and fears that once led to prosecution and still lead to persecution. It is about diversity and inclusiveness. Pride Week isn’t just a gay thing. It is an everybody thing. It is a reaching-out of hands across the divide (it is an ever-shrinking divide, to be sure, but a divide nonetheless) in a quest to unite as one. Trouble is, it’s hard to hold hands with someone whose hand is clenched into a fist.

Their strategy was not so much to keep corporate money out of B.C. politics as to keep it flowing through the B.C. Liberal Party. This spring the B.C. Liberal majority passed Bill 20, the Election Amendment Act. Not only did this recognize the freedom of outsiders to weigh in on elections, it also did away with precampaign restrictions on registered political parties and candidates. NDP MLA Leonard Krog warned that this sets the stage for “some mad Wild West show,” with politicians so desperate to raise money they start looking for the B.C. equivalent of renting out the Lincoln bedroom in the White House. The big difference between the precampaign ads for this fall’s federal election and the next provincial vote in 2017 is that corporate and union donations to parties and candidates have been eliminated at the federal level. That means more money available for third-party campaigns, but it seems to be fairly well distributed between the two sides, the Conservatives and everybody else. Here in the Wild West, nothing’s going to change as long as the B.C. Liberals are in the saddle. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

David Milne’s Black Reflections, Bishop’s Pond, 1917, is part of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria’s collection.

Exploring the legacy of David Milne David Milne may have been overshadowed by the Group of Seven early in his career, but his work eventually gained worldwide recognition; acclaimed American art critic Clement Greenberg once wrote that Milne was arguably Canada’s greatest painter. Starting this month you can decide if Milne is one of your favourite Canadian artists when the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria presents From the Collection: David Milne. “We are extremely fortunate to have 17 of David Milne’s works in our collection,” says Michelle Jacques, chief curator at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. “To view them as an exhibition is quite moving, particularly to see Milne’s varied skill in oil, watercolour and drypoint. The works that will be on display are the result of 54 years of collecting Milne and demonstrate his artistic legacy.” From the Collection: David

At Your Service in RESTAURANT At The Gatsby Mansion

Milne invites visitors to learn about how the AGGV came to have this wonderful collection of the artist’s work. The Ontario-born painter, printmaker and writer (18821953) had a distinctive style, a stark, modern approach to landscapes, which had a tremendous impact on Canadian art. This exhibition explores the people and events that contributed to the migration of Milne’s reputation and support to western Canada, and particularly Victoria. Like the members of the Group of Seven and Emily Carr, Milne focused his efforts on the landscape around him. However, unlike these contemporaries who were so deeply connected to their natural surroundings, Milne was more interested in the formal properties of paint on canvas than on his relationship to the land. Born in Bruce County, Ont., the youngest in a family of 10

children, Milne was largely selftaught, and his style included watercolour, oil and his own creation of a printmaking technique. Milne moved to New York City in 1903 where he studied art and exhibited in the groundbreaking Armory Show of 1913. Serving as a Canadian war artist in Britain, Belgium and northern France during the First World War, he returned to upstate New York and cultivated his distinctive artistic style. In 1929, he returned to Canada, settling in rural Ontario. Following a year spent in Toronto, he spent the remainder of his life painting in relative seclusion, dividing his time between a cabin on the shores of Baptiste Lake, Alberta, and the small town of Uxbridge, Ontario, with his wife and son. AGGV’s David Milne runs through to Oct. 25. For more information or tour times and dates, visit aggv.ca or call 250384-4171. editor@vicnews.com

NHL draft claims Royals Two Victoria Royals made the cut in the 2015 National Hockey League (NHL) Draft June 27. Defenceman Chaz Reddekopp was drafted 187th overall by the Los Angeles Kings while goaltender Evan Smith was picked 205th overall by the Nashville Predators. Reddekopp and Smith are the fifth and sixth players in Victoria Royals’ history to be drafted by an NHL team. Steven Hodges was the first Royals’ player to be drafted when he was selected 84th overall by the Florida Panthers in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft. “We are very proud of Chaz and Evan,” General Manager Cameron Hope said. “They are both dedicated athletes who continue to work very hard toward a professional career. Being selected in the NHL Draft is exciting recognition of that hard work, and these young men are very deserving of the recognition.” Reddekopp, a 6-3, 215 lb defender recently completed his second season with the Royals and registered 21 points (5g-16a) and 53 penalty minutes in 72 contests. “It’s a tremendous feeling to hear your name called,” Reddekopp said from his home in West Kelowna. “I am excited and happy to be going to a great organization like the Los Angeles Kings. It’s a huge honour.” Smith split the 201415 season between the Royals and the Austin Bruins of the North American Hockey League. Smith appeared in four games for Victoria last season and posted a 1-1-0-0 record. “I’m enjoying this moment,” Smith said from his home in Parker, CO. “To be drafted by Nashville is a great feeling and opportunity, but the real work begins now.”

Canadian softball championships come to Beacon Hill Fairfield’s Hollywood Park hosts Little League World Series qualifier July 25 to 29 Jennifer Blyth Black Press

Fairfield’s Hollywood Park will be hopping this July when Beacon Hill Little League welcomes the nation for the 2015 National Softball Championship Tournament. The five-day tournament will double as the Canadian Little League Softball Championship for players age 11 and 12 and the Canadian Junior League Softball Championship for players age 13 and 14. It’s the first time the two championships have been combined into one tournament, says Joanne Bolzonello, tournament director. All games will be played at Hollywood Park July 25 to 29, and in addition to the two Beacon Hill teams competing at their Fairfield Avenue park, the Layritz Majors team has also qualified as the BC representative in the younger division. In addition to national bragging rights, teams compete for the honour of representing Canada at the Softball World Series Championships.

Winning at home in extra innings before hundreds of spectators, and the ensuing experience at the Little League World Series were unforgettable for Hawkins, who went on to play college ball and compete for Team BC at the Canada Games. “It felt like the biggest thing in the world at the time,” she says. “I still think that is the coolest thing I ever did.” While Hawkins imparts some of that experience to the girls, the team and coaching staff are also focused on the task at hand. “We try hard not to think too far ahead; they’re pretty focused, I think,” Hawkins says. Following Beacon’s Hill’s 62-day regular season, league president Alan Calder looks forward to an exciting summer of tournament ball. “Our all-star teams are assembled and our coaches and players are excited to represent Beacon Hill on a larger stage,” Calder says. “We are grateful to have been selected to host the National Softball Championship Tournament and look

n Best of the City n Thursday, June 25, 2015 n Delta Ocean Pointe Resort & Spa

Black Press salutes the Best of the City Black Press welcomed this year’s Best of the City recipients to the Delta Ocean Pointe Resort’s Lure restaurant Thursday morning for the 21st annual celebration of Victoria’s people and places. Victoria’s longest-running recognition awards honour the best from across the Capital Region in numerous categories, as voted by readers. From the Best Local Brewery to the Best Barbershop, the Best Indian Food to the Best Grocery Store and numerous “bests” in between, a coveted Best of the City award reflects a business’s commitement and dedication and to being among the best in the city. The special Best of the City supplement was distributed in home-delivered copies of Black Press newspapers Friday. In addition to this year’s list of winners and finalists, the annual supplement is chock-full of stories about some of the many things that make Greater Victoria a place worth celebrating. The section is also available online at www. vicnews.com
