Spark Fest explores theatre Stars frontman Torquil Campbell opens the Belfry’s 2018 Spark Festival

›› Mark Dusseault

O

ne of the ambitions of the Spark Festival is to play with the notion of what theatre is, what it could be and how it’s changing.

This year’s Festival is the best expression of that ambition to date and we expect it will change you and the way you think about the world.

Iconic musician and provocateur Torquil Campbell was inspired by real life con-man Clark Rockefeller. Rockefeller, now serving a life sentence in California, duped hundreds into believing he was the scion of the wealthy clan, with cataclysmic consequences. Check out Vanity Fair’s The Man in the Rockefeller Suit for the full story.

Torquil’s dogged investigation and impersonation challenges us to find the truth in True Crime (March 8 - 10) and confront our cultural addiction to a good story.

On March 12 we invite you to be a part of an exhilarating choral adventure where you become the performers.

Why We Are Here!, created by Brian Quirt and Martin Julien, is a unique and stand-alone experience that invites audience members to become a choir and sing in a site that they would not normally be able to sing in.

Daniel MacIvor has been called Canada’s Spalding Gray and so it’s especially intriguing to see one monologist take on another in Who Killed Spalding Gray? from March 13 - 17.

Daniel has always pushed and reshaped the boundaries of a good story and to see him perform is a real treat.

Winners of the Guardian Newspaper’s Pick of the Fringe in Edinburgh this past summer, Norah Sadava and Amy Nostbakken will be performing their incredible show, Mouthpiece, at Spark March 13 - 17.

It would be a shame to miss a show with reviews like these: “This constantly compelling show is one of the most accurate and insightful

portrayals of womanhood you are likely to see...” The Skinny, UK “one of the most informed, empathetic, complex articulations of female selfhood and female voices that I have ever seen” Broadway Baby In the third week—March 20 - 24—Spark will challenge your senses and much more.

High school students from the Belfry’s education outreach program, Belfry 101, will begin rehearsals with Dave Morris (Paper Street Theatre) and Erin Macklem, the Belfry’s Artistic Associate and Outreach Coordinator.

Canadian Inuit actor and storyteller, Tiffany Ayalik will arrive to perform Café Daughter, written by Kenneth T. Williams (adapted from his book).

Based on the true story of Senator Lillian Eva Quan Dyck. Café Daughter is the powerful, funny and touching tale of one woman’s journey to reclaim her heritage.

That week Calgary’s Ghost River Theatre offers up an unforgettable immersive

audio experience created for a blindfolded audience.

That’s right—everyone in the audience is given their own set of headphones and is blindfolded to experience Tomorrow’s Child, adapted from Ray Bradbury’s short story by Eric Rose, Matthew Waddell and David van Belle.

Spark will close on March 25 with Belfry 101 Live—a show created by the students of Belfry 101 in response to the performances they’ve seen at the Belfry over the past seven months. Their remarkable take on the themes and stories they’ve witnessed is always eye-opening.

Scattered throughout Spark will be a host of free events, including concerts and the perennially popular miniplays— 10-minute plays performed throughout the building.

Tickets for Spark are on sale now. For further information check out belfry.bc.ca or stop by the theatre for the latest news on Spark.

›› Lee Herrin We have some bittersweet news to share with our neighbours. We have sold the Cornerstone Café to the good people from the Parsonage Café, who are losing their space on North Park. The Cornerstone Café is now closed, but the Parsonage crew hopes to reopen in Fernwood as early as February 1st.

It has been a great pleasure to serve the neighbourhood for the past twelve years. We owe so many thanks to all of the staff who have made the Cornerstone so welcoming— and who have served nearly a million coffees to Fernwoodians. We owe thanks to you, our neighbours and friends, who supported a unique neighbourhood business and brought the laughter and passion for which Fernwood is famous. And, we owe a tremendous thanks to the visionaries Roberta Martell (our former Executive Director) and Lenore Rankin (our company General Manager) for bringing the café into being, and especially to Lenore for shepherding it along these past dozen years.

In 2005, Fernwood Village was at its lowest point: businesses in the core were struggling and the Cornerstone Building was boarded-up and had been sitting empty for years. There were some signs of reinvestment—the Belfry had completed their heritage restoration, and Stevenson Park had been upgraded—but overall, the corner of Fernwood and Gladstone had seen better days. Someone needed to take a chance on what Fernwood could become.

And so, with enthusiastic support from the neighbourhood, Fernwood NRG bought the Cornerstone Building. The next question, though, was how to pay for it. As a board and as an organization, we knew we would need more income than what would initially flow from commercial rents and affordable family housing. Moreover, we knew that the neighbourhood needed a place to gather—to mend the social fabric that had frayed during the darker days of the village. But most importantly, we knew we needed a place to sit and simply have a coffee. And so we settled on the idea of

a café on the corner—the Cornerstone Café—as the new foundation for our neighbourhood and our organization.

Flash forward twelve years, and Fernwood is thriving—there are shops and restaurants in the village that would have been hard to imagine 15 years ago. A new building is taking shape, and the old buildings are looking better than ever. Everything that we hoped and dreamt we would be able to achieve through the café has been accomplished.

When it became clear that the Parsonage was losing its space on North Park, the owners (who live in Fernwood!) approached us to discuss options. Eventually, we came to a mutually satisfactory agreement. It was a difficult decision for us to let go of the business. But the sale allows the Parsonage folks to continue serving Fernwood Coffee

in Fernwood, and it allows Fernwood NRG to make new investments in Fernwood to meet emerging neighbourhood needs.

When the paper on the windows comes down, please join us in welcoming and supporting our newest neighbours.

A note from the new owners

We are thrilled and grateful to be a continuing part of this amazing community. We want to thank Fernwood NRG for their incredible support and acknowledge how hard they worked to give us this opportunity. ~ The staff and owners of the Parsonage Café

February Fox Fair

You’re invited: Fernwood Homestead’s Open House Join us on Saturday, February 24 at 1703 Fernwood Road, 10am to 12pm

›› Kate Vallance The 8th Annual February Fox Fair is fast approaching at the Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Avenue, on Saturday, February 17 from 10am to 4pm.

The 2018 February Fox Fair is a quick and classic one-day affair!

Join us for this fabulous designer craft fair featuring locally handmade clothing, jewelry, body products, pottery, housewares, gourmet snacks, kids clothing and toys and more!

Come shop with your friends and spend a leisurely Saturday browsing through the

wares of more than 35 local makers and artisans. Pick up a belated Valentine gift for your loved ones, your friends, and yourself.

Celebrate early spring and tide yourself over until the summer markets get started.

This will be the February Fox Fair’s 8th time showcasing the amazing talent of our local crafters and you won’t want to miss it!

Don’t forget to bring cash and your reusable bag to this annual community market in the heart of Fernwood. There is a $3 admission at the door.

Partial proceeds support programs at the Fernwood Community Centre. We hope ot see you there.

In times of great change and uncertainty, your well-being—even survival itself— may depend on being part of a caring community and having neighbours who have your back. Strengthening this web of connections within a community— and between the people and the land they depend on—is what constitutes resiliency.

If you’re interested in resiliency, food security, and community, you are warmly invited to drop by the Fernwood Homesteads Open House.

Fernwood Homesteads is an initiative by the tenants and landlord of three properties on the corner of Fernwood and Balmoral who teamed up to conserve water, restore a patch of habitat, grow food, and build community.

We are a mixed bunch: families with teens and pre-teens, roommates, and an older couple. Several of us garden and are passionate about food security. Others bring creativity and a spirit of playfulness to neighbourhood occasions such as Hallowe’en. We barter and gift produce, water each other’s gardens, do earthquake drills together, and—on the rare occasions when Victoria experiences a taste of real Canadian weather—have snow-shovelling parties.

This year—with the help of the Resilient Streets Initiative—we have decided to host a tour of what we have created together.

There will be a demo of the various water conservation features (both high- and low-tech), a tour of our year-round food gardens, and a restored patch of Garry Oak meadow. All Fernwoodians are invited!

Please join us on Saturday, February 24, between 10am and 12pm, in the backyard of 1703 Fernwood Road. That’s the red and white house right on the corner of Fernwood and Balmoral (entrance to back yard through Balmoral Street). Refreshments will be provided.

LED streetlights shine on Fernwood Old streetlights are being replaced around the CRD with Victoria’s final phase being the downtown core, to be finished in early 2018

›› Ruben Anderson

Contractors recently rolled through Fernwood replacing the old orange lights with warm white LEDs that use about half the electricity.

Across the whole city this really adds up. Streetlights use about a third of our municipal electricity—that’s about 500 households worth of power.

LED lights are very directional, which reduces light pollution. In order to reduce light pollution and energy use as much as possible, the City of Victoria hired a lighting designer to calculate different bulb

wattages based on the type of street, the width of the road, and even the height of the light poles.

Light pollution is a big problem because it disrupts bird migration, disgruntles stargazers and deprives us of restful and restorative sleep.

Sleep deprivation is especially serious for children and teenagers. It can reduce learning and exacerbate mental health issues and anxiety. For adults, the lack of sleep can impair judgment and reactions as much as being legally drunk—and some of

the new lights are shining too brightly into windows and yards.

Fortunately, if your home is in the spotlight, Victoria Public Works can install a shield on the lamp to keep the light on the road where it belongs. Call Public Works at 250-361-0400 or email pw@victoria.ca with your address, the location of the lamp, and a description of the issue.

A fact sheet about this project, including a link to the report to City Council, is available on the City website at goo.gl/ DKaGrm.

The Gift of Good Food surpasses goal ›› Mila Czemerys & Kathryn Juricic The numbers are in… hundreds have come together to support 160 families

S

even events, twenty-one fundraising teams, nine business supporters, ten donation boxes, eight fundraising videos, seven media outlets, two very tired organizers, fifteen amazing volunteers and five hundred and eight donors later, The Gift of Good Food surpassed its fundraising goal and raised $80,463, supporting 160 families for a whole year! A mouthful in more ways than one…

Families have already been chosen by fifteen partner organizations from Sooke to Saanich and throughout the year, 44,255 pounds of produce (that’s more pounds than a Greyhound bus!) will be packed and distributed by the wonderful Good Food Box volunteers every Wednesday.

We—the organizing team of Kathryn and Mila—are beyond grateful and blown away by this year’s support of The Gift of Good Food. We feel so lucky to be able to work on such a meaningful campaign. Plus, it gives us the opportunity to work together

with amazing communities, in Fernwood and beyond our neighbourhood’s borders!

We’ve been babbling on about the impacts of this campaign for a good while, so we’d like to take this opportunity to share stories from the fundraising side of things.

One special day at the Fernwood Community Centre, a volunteer team from Garth Homer Society walked in with a cheque over $1,000. They had been collecting recyclables from different places around Victoria for a whole year! Without any notice or need for thanks, they proudly handed over the cheque.

This year, we made Gift of Good Food canvas tote bags and sold them at the Owl Designer Fair and Oaklands West Coast Winter Market. The bags were well received and sold out quickly. This was our chance to connect with people face-to-face about the campaign and truly appreciate all the conversations and support. Thank you to everyone who purchased canvas totes from us with your generous donations. We hope they get lots of compliments and queries out in the world!

Good Food Grooves, a fundraising concert at Vinyl Envy, not surprisingly turned out to be another heart-warmer.

We had three awesome local bands perform and Kathryn shared her Gift of Good Food poem. There was something in the air.

What really had us going is that, before the show, the two MC’s from Grapefruit is Impossible donated enough money to support a family for a year! They raised money through selling handmade cards to their friends and family (*cough* Gladstone Card Company). WHO DOES THAT?!

Other amazing people and businesses we’d like to mention are Benji Duke and his annual Gift of Good Food Quiz at Northern Quarter, the Orbus Business Network and their fun fundraising

Holiday Dinner (thank you Michelle!), Hoyne Brewing Company for matching donations AGAIN, Phillips Brewing Company for donating tasting room donations, Discovery Coffee for making fundraising doughnuts (so cool!), Luna Collective for selling our tote bags and cards, Trevor Bennet and Kingtide Films’ work on our fundraising videos, and Mason Street Farm and everyone who made Vegstock 2.0 another epic fundraising house concert.

Oh yeah, did we mention that we had twenty one fundraising teams? Together they raised over $20,000! We couldn’t have done this without our Gift of Good Food Team Captains, who voluntarily took on the cause and solicited their friends and family for donations. It was amazing to work side-by-side with you.

Our deepest gratitude. We did it!

garden gleanings:

Cover cropping for the backyard garden ›› Alysha Punnett Cover crops provide the same benefits as other mulches like straw, but are extra beneficial because they are living (see our Factsheet #7). The active root zone of the plant cycles nutrients and minerals, keeping them in the planting zone of your soil instead of washing away with the winter rains. The roots also continue to interact with microorganisms, maintaining soil life even when it slows down in cold weather.

Above ground, the greens of these plants protect the soil from the elements. In my experience, all of this leads to a nutrientrich soil with a beautiful texture.

When to Sow

Seed cover crop September through October. You want at least a few inches of green before the cold hits and growth slows

on the cover crop, chop the tops and use them in your compost pile. Roughly chop up the roots in the soil using a shovel and allow them to decompose for around two weeks, releasing all their nutrients back into the soil for your spring planting. You may need to rake through and compost the dried up roots before planting, but this is great compost food too.

Cover Crops for Backyard Gardeners

down. As the weather warms, growth will speed up and you can expect many more inches before flowers start to appear.

How to Cover Crop in the Backyard Garden

Cover crops are often grown on farms in between cash crops, then tilled in with farm equipment so the nutrients enrich the soil

for subsequent crops to feed from. Many of us are low-tech backyard gardeners and using a rototiller isn’t realistic. In our case, cover crops become compost fodder as well as soil conditioner because of the volume of green material that is produced (i.e. it’s a big job to hand-dig in all of the cover crop).

In the spring, as the first flowers appear

Cover crops that I find manageable with a shovel and my muscles are crimson clover (see photo), winter field pea, fava beans and buckwheat. With all of these, make sure to spread bird netting over the seeded area until germination occurs, or the birds will be thanking you for a hearty meal.

My Great

Neighbourhood Grant funds two Fernwood projects

›› Kathryn Juricic Fernwood NRG is proud to announce that the City of Victoria has chosen two projects through “My Great Neighbourhood Grant” funding to be held in Fernwood.

The two projects, Coast Salish Mural Project and the All-Ages Road Hockey Tournament, while very different, will focus on inclusivity and fun at the Fernwood Community Centre.

Fernwood NRG plans to facilitate a mural on behalf of a Coast Salish artist to acknowledge that the Centre resides on Songhees Territory. We hope this

will educate and build awareness around decolonization and stories of the land we call home and build community on.

There are also plans to have a Lekwungen translated territory acknowledgement for the Fernwood Community Centre. This project is in its early stages and seeks to respectfully follow guidance and protocol from local First Nations. Every step will be taken to ensure this project is done in a good way. When there is more information on the mural, unveiling and artists, we will share the news!

The All-Ages Road Hockey Tournament, organized by Melanie Faye Reid and Ross Currie, will be held in the court behind the Fernwood Community Centre in late spring.

For up to date info, please follow us on Facebook: Fernwood NRG and Fernwood Community Centre and on Instagram: @fernwoodnrg.

The 11th Annual Fernwood Art Stroll is being organized now

›› Margaret Hantiuk This fun community event is a tour of neighbourhood artist and artisan—craftspeople, makers of things—studios for a show and sale. It will be held this year on Saturday, June 9th and Sunday June 10th from 11am to 4pm.

To participate you must have a studio in Fernwood, be here to open it that weekend, help us to organize the event, and pay a $50 brochure and website fee. We publish about 4,000 brochures that go out all over the city.

This is an unjuried event: we have had all kinds of artists and artisans join including

painters, photographers, potters, sculptors, jewelers, metalworkers, printmakers, makers of garden art, tools, ornaments, seamstresses and fabric/weaving/wool artists, glass artists, flower arrangers, calligraphers and more.

Some people show their work in their studio or workshop, others in their garage, carport, patio or yard, and some simply show in their living room. Often participants invite others to join them—whom can be from outside of Fernwood as long as they are showing at a Fernwood address.

We have had increasing success with this event—with some visitors telling us it was the best studio tour in the city last year.

Please get in touch with Margaret at mmhantiuk@shaw.ca or 778-2659004 to join or if you have questions.

Buy-a-Bunch at once: Prepay for Good Food Boxes

Youth leadership

›› Alex Harned & Jenna Lang

›› Kathryn Juricic

Now offering the option to prepay for weekly or bi-weekly Good Food Boxes

Fernwood NRG is creating a Youth Leadership Program that will run out of the Fernwood Community Centre. Youth will have the opportunity to gain leadership skills through the Fernwood Student Dinner, a weekly meal aimed at increasing food security for post-secondary students.

This program will mentor middle and high-school aged youth to help prepare and serve Student Dinner as well as plan activities that coincide with the shared meal.

Youth will have the opportunity to build food related skills and event planning with a focus on sustainability (Student Dinner is made from 90% reclaimed foods!).

Youth Programming will continue throughout the summer (Student Dinner takes the summer off ) and will include environmentally themed projects and mentoring in event planning. It’ll give youth an opportunity to be a part of neighbourhood events, such as FernFest and our Food + Growing Workshops.

If you know middle or high-school aged youth who might be interested, please email kathryn@fernwoodnrg.ca.

We all know how easy it is to miss deadlines with the hustle and bustle of a busy life. We’ve made life a little easier for you every Wednesday with our new Buya-Bunch prepay option for the Good Food Box. When you Buy-a-Bunch, you will be prepaying for multiple weeks of your Good Food Boxes, alleviating the need to re-order each week. You are able to select any box, or boxes, that you would like to receive each week or every other week—the choice is yours. The only rule is $100 order minimum. Plus, home delivery, as always, is an option at the rate of $3.00 for up to 3 boxes per address per week.

To place your order, call 250-381-1552 ext.100 or drop by the Fernwood Community Centre, 1240 Gladstone Avenue.

new box option that includes a selection of veggies and some fruit low in potassium such as broccoli, onions, carrots, cucumber, lettuce, eggplant, pears, and apples. We’ve developed this box to make it easier for members of the community who have been

advised by their health care professional to follow a low potassium diet due to medication and/or Chronic Kidney Disease.

To be able to offer this new Good Food Box type we have had to retire our less popular Staples Box.
