Oak Bay Lodge proposal trips up again Provincial rules restrict talks on controversial dementia care facility redevelopment Vivian Moreau New staff
Vivian Moreau/News staff
Lillies of the field Fawn lilies grow in abundance in the Oak Bay Native Plant Garden on the corner of Beach Drive and Margate Avenue. Swaths of blooming fawn lilies around Greater Victoria are peaking right now, says University of Victoria biologist Geraldine Allen. The native plants love warm, wet weather and this year’s display could be a result of last summer’s cooler weather. There are 15 species of Erythronium (Liliaceae) in North America. Although white is most commonly seen around Greater Victoria, pink varieties can be found further west on the Island. Also found in Europe and Asia, Allen suspects fawn lilies have been around for hundreds of thousands of years but arrived here before the last ice age. ‘They’re kind of irresistible, like Easter lilies in miniature and flowering in spectacular displays.’ Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Discussions about the Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment have taken another two steps back. Only the building’s height and parking can be addressed during the permit application process, a consultant hired by the municipality informed Oak Bay’s committee of the whole this week. “People may not like having only to speak to height and parking but that’s what the Local Government Act says,� said Felice Mazzoni of Focus Corporation. In a 12-page report the consultant noted that the restric- Cairine Green tion “makes it extremely difficult to attempt to create any meaningful public engagement strategy or dialogue� and recommended developing a local area plan “in order to properly and effectively engage the community in a meaningful fashion.� No reason was given why the consultant group hired in February waited until now to inform the municipality of the governance restrictions. It was a frustrating setback for residents who came to the meeting expecting to air their concerns about Baptist Housing Society’s plans to redevelop the Cranmore Road lodge into a 320bed facility to house seniors with dementia.

Council agrees to remove home’s heritage registration Salty Towers owners earn exemption for their home Vivian Moreau News staff
A Beach Drive couple successfully lobbied Oak Bay council to have their 1913 Tudor revival home removed from Oak Bay’s heritage home registry. The registry protects homes from demolition. Robert Bardagy and Pauline McIsaac wrote to the Oak Bay Heritage Commission in January of this year saying they had been unable to sell their house because of its heritage registration. And although permission of homeowners is not required for a house to be registered, the couple felt they should have been asked.
Because there was no paper trail regarding the initial registration, the commission took the unusual step of recommending the de-registration, a move that council initially balked at. By this week councillors and the mayor, except for Coun. Pam Copley, agreed with commission chair Patricia Wilson that the house known as Salty Towers could be removed from the registry. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

OUR VIEW
Put some action into Earth Day Comedian George Carlin famously said: “There is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are [doomed].” His theory was that the planet has been around for four-and-a-half billion years, and humans have been here one or two hundred thousand years. And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. “Two hundred years versus four-and-a-half billion,” said Carlin. “And we have the conceit to think that somehow we’re a threat?” Unfortunately, it’s taken our species less than a century to do some damage to this big blue marble we live on. And Earth Day is a good reminder to us all to keep it clean – something Carlin never did with his language. What first started as an environmental awareness event in the United States in 1970, Earth Day (April 22) has become more widely celebrated in recent years. This year in Victoria a three-day event, Creatively United for the Planet, hopes to inspire environmental awareness and build community through creativity. But is this enough? Does attending a weekend festival make us want to become better stewards of the planet? Does joining a broom bash or ivy pull lead us to build a compost in our backyard or take transit instead of the car to work? Three local businesses decided to take up a Garbage Challenge to mark Earth Day this year, taking an hour to collect garbage from around Victoria. The one that collects the most wins the Golden Garbage Award. Sure, it’s a small step, but an achievable goal. It should be noted that the Inn at Laurel Point, Harbour Air Seaplanes and Eagle Wing Tours – the founders of this Garbage Challenge – are all carbon-neutral businesses and want to encourage other businesses to get involved in the care of the environment. Big changes, like becoming carbon neutral, begin with small steps. As recycling began with old newspapers being dumped into a separate bin and water conservation with turning the taps off when you brush your teeth, so must other changes begin. Earth Day gives us the opportunity to remind ourselves that each small step we take toward sustainability will become a giant leap one day. Each time we walk or ride our bike to a local farm stand to buy carrots instead of using the car, makes a difference. Each time we put the carrot peels into the compost instead of the garbage bin makes a difference. Each time we spread that compost on our own garden bed … well, you get the picture. It’s up to each of us as individuals to decide what choices we’ll make to celebrate Earth Day. Even if what you choose to do seems like a small step, one day it could become a big deal and you can say you did your part in keeping the planet “fine.” What do you think?

The why and how a program works is much less important than whether it works at all. I understand that a plane can fly – I don’t need to know why. D, on the other hand, is always trying to understand how a program works, and trying to determine if there’s one that is better, faster or easier to use.

And D, when he gets frustrated with technology, usually slaps the offending item down on the coffee table and announces, “I’m going to go wash the car.” Laura Lavin is the editor of the Oak Bay News. editor@oakbaynews.com

LETTERS Better job needed in promoting transit, urban densification The announcements of investments by senior levels of government in the E&N rail and other transit systems will reduce government operating costs. Recently an international network for public transport authorities estimated that in North America, the costs of trips as a proportion of the gross domestic product is 12.7 per cent, whereas in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore it is only 5.4 per cent. The difference is a productive advantage for the
Asian economies. At the government level, transportation authorities are spending ever-increasing amounts of funds just to service the next subdivision. Governments should not be in the business of promoting and financing urban sprawl, which increases operating costs to all levels of government, but particularly the province. Encouraging mass transit and urban densification will entail the following cost implications:
Government will reduce costs for service provision as we move towards more compact communities. For instance, out-patient healthcare providers, social workers and transportation providers are now increasingly travelling farther to service clients. If a service provider can attend two or three appointments within walking distance, or commute a short distance by transit or even automobile, this is a time saver and also a fuel cost saver.
Existing road capacity is used more efficiently, thus delaying or negating the need for further road investments for expansion. This will help deliver our goods to the Far East markets more efficiently. Trucks stuck in traffic benefit nobody. Correspondingly, there will be measurable decreases in road maintenance and rehabilitation costs. Governments will also receive direct cost savings from decreased incidence of
automobile accidents involving those commuters who switch modes of travel, through decreased exposure – a tangible benefit measured in millions of vehicle kilometres travelled. Countries with the highest levels of walking and biking also have the lowest levels of obesity. This preventative measure is very important as our health-care costs are projected to increase exponentially. Avi Ickovich Langford
Evolution happens naturally, regardless of where faith lies Re: Believing in theory of evolution requires faith (Letters, April 13) Dog breeds are the products of evolution by artificial selection: From a set of puppies, people identified individuals they liked, such as those who grew into adults that were good at killing rats, or protecting sheep. These were bred and the selection step was repeated. A few from the next litters might have killed more rats than their parents or were better at protecting sheep. Again, the best were selected to produce another generation. These experiments were done independently in different places and, consequently, we now have lots of terriers, and German, Belgian and Australian shepherds. Faith is not a factor here. Breeder’s records tell us that evolution by artificial selection is what led to the diversity in domestic species that we see today. Evolution by natural selection argues that the same process takes place in nature. To Darwin, the idea that evolution by artificial selection had generated various breeds of dog, cat, cattle, sheep, etc., but that different wild species were created independently, seemed unnecessarily complicated. In the Origin of Species, he proposed that nature, like a
dog breeder, allows only some individuals to reproduce. These individuals differ from others and the features that enhanced survival and reproduction in one place might not be the same as those that were selected in another. This way, evolution by natural selection led to changes that generated new varieties, which eventually became new species. Darwin’s observations were consistent with this theory. Evolution, whether by artificial or natural selection, predicts that related species will be connected geographically. Creationism doesn’t make such predictions. A creator could place deer and monkeys anywhere, yet, on islands more than 300 miles from the mainland, Darwin found only flying and marine mammals. Creation does not explain why all species, from bacteria to pine trees to humans, have DNA. In addition, Darwin also noted that if species were perfectly matched to their environment, as one might expect from creation, then invasive species wouldn’t stand a chance. Ruth Magnusson said she examined the theory of evolution and rejected it, after looking to science for explanations. I hope this inspires her to look again. John Taylor Oak Bay

School days bring mixed emotions The Sisters of St. Ann taught and cared for students at Indian Residential Schools. Their experiences have been largely untold until now.
TRUTH TELLING: Part 3
Roszan Holmen News staff
Decades after her years teaching at an Indian residential school, the image of children arriving in a big open truck stays with one of the Sisters of St. Ann. “How often did I see them, especially the little six year olds, struggling to jump from the back of the truck, blinded by tears of loneliness and confusion,” wrote the Catho-

who worked in the schools have not been described in the media, except for very negative cases,” wrote one representative of the group. “(They) felt a need, in justice, to record some of the memories of a few of the sisters who dedicated years of their lives to teach and care for the children in residential schools.” The sisters were assigned to work at schools in Mission, Kamloops, Kuper Island near Chemainus and Lower Post. Seventeen of the sisters’ written accounts add another perspective to life at these schools – one that shows harsh discipline wasn’t the only reality.
The good times While all the children experienced homesickness, “people sometimes forget that we had a lot of fun with the kids,” said Marie Zarowny, provincial leader of the Sisters of St. Ann. The sisters’ memoirs describe tobogganing, swimming, basketball, movie nights and competitive Irish dancing. In rare instances, some effort was made for cultural learning. One sister describes inviting elders to come and teach. “One year, the principal brought us a large deer hide for the children to make small beadwork crafts,” recalled another. Many of the sisters described their years as happy ones and wrote of loving the children as best they could, given the large numbers of children assigned to them.

UVic’s parkade first came before Saanich council last August, but it was sent back to the drawing board after councillors said it was “too big” and “in the wrong place.” Little had changed when the school returned to council chambers in the fall – save for a variety of ways to camouflage the same building. Councillors sent UVic away, again. They wanted UVic to seek meaningful public input. The parkade first came about as a joint application for a new Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities sports facility, with an attached parking garage. kslavin@saanichnews.com

UVic’s original design a partially underground parkade.

The University of Victoria will head back into the community later this month to get more feedback on the parkade it hopes to build as part of a new sports facility on campus. After a series of open houses were held last month, where five different parkade options were presented, the university says that most residents who provided feedback indicated they want to see the parkade partially buried underground. “We’ll take this information (we collected at the open houses) and come up with a revised design,” said Kristi Simpson, UVic’s associate vice-president of campus planning. She added, however, that there is no guarantee that the revised parkade will even be buried. “We’re still in the process (of creating the revised design).” The buried parkade option, which was favoured by 59 per cent of people who provided feedback, included five levels of parking above-ground, and two levels below. A total of 496 stalls were presented in that option. The next series of open houses will be a more scaled-back version of what the university previously hosted. Only one parkade option will be presented, but three esthetically different versions of that one design will be shown. UVic will then vet the feedback received, finalize a design and send it to the Saanich planning department.

Mayhem rules the day Brittany Lee News staff
What starts off as a friendly meeting of two couples to resolve a playground fight between their sons, quickly turns into a game of namecalling, finger-pointing and throwing things. And it’s all on stage in the Belfry Theatre’s production of the award-winning comedy God of Carnage, written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton.
This satire of social conduct and modern day marriage stars Bill Dow, Vincent Gale, Sarah Orenstein and Celine Stubel, and is directed by Glynis Leyshon, former artistic director at the Belfry Theatre. The play starts as a calm, rational debate among adults, but the facade of decorum is razor thin and when the Scotch starts to flow, lines are drawn, allegiances are made and broken, and the evening quickly devolves into a hysterical night.
The play received a Tony Award for Best Play and an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2009. God of Carnage runs from April 17 to May 20 at the Belfry Theatre, 1291 Gladstone Ave. Tickets range from $23 to $38. There are discounts for high school and postsecondary students. For tickets, call 250-385-6815 or visit tickets.belfry.bc.ca. For more information, visit belfry. bc.ca/god-of-carnage. editor@oakbaynews.com

SEMI-ANNUAL $
Brittany Lee News staff
The story of a girl who goes to clown college on a path of self-discovery but then drops out is presented as the Confessions of a Clown College Dropout at the Intrepid Theatre Club. The story follows a confused, discouraged performer as she attempts to find purpose in her life and her life on stage, according to writer Marina Legace from CatFlap Collective, a group of local artists putting on the show. “I’m calling it a haphazard clown musical tripping out on LSD,” Legsaid. “She goes “I’m calling it ace through a journey redisa haphazard clown covering and exploring what would be the kind musical tripping of exercises one might out on LSD.” do at clown college.” - Marina Legace Legace’s inspiration for the story came from a personal experience as an artist struggling with stage fright and a lack of self-confidence, she said. “I went to clown school to try to rediscover my joy in performing and because of the state that I was in, I had a really difficult time coming to terms with my role as a performer and I ended up dropping out… so it’s kind of a true story,” she said. The production includes live music, improvisation, and stilt-walking. Along with Legace, it features Kimara Brilling and Emma Zabloski, also from CatFlap Collective.

Their accounts of the conditions of the school varies by location and year. Some describe full days of school, quality clothing and ample food. More describe half-day classes followed by chores and science classes lacking equipment. They also describe clothes made from second-hand military uniforms, and hungry children stealing bread. Some also wrote about working long hours and making sacrifices, such as remaining at the school over Christmas to allow students to stay whose home lives were challenging.
Responding to a need Not every child was stolen from their families, said Zarowny. Some schools began as orphanages for children whose families were wiped out by disease. Some parents asked that their children be put in residential school. “We were responding to a need,” she said. “Our call was to teach children who wouldn’t otherwise have an opportunity for an education … (our goal was) to help children to really be proud of themselves.” Of course, it didn’t often work out that way. “We thought we were changing society by valuing the child, not realizing when they left, they would not be able to realize their potential,” Zarowny said. In a 2010 statement on behalf of congregations of religious women involved in the schools, Zarowny summed up their current understanding in this way: “We were products of the times in which we lived, with the teaching methods, cultural misunderstandings, social attitudes and theology of those times. As well, some of our members may have suffered from emotional problems that they took out on the children … We now know that the residential school system itself, initiated by the Federal Government and in which we participated, was racist and discriminatory, bringing about a form of cultural oppression and personal shame … We carry immense sorrow for having contributed to this tragedy.”
Looking back with sadness Many of the sisters now look back with conflicting emotions. One described her year working at Mission residential school

Shirley Pettis, a former student and later a teacher at St. Mary’s Indian Residential School in Mission, goes over a lesson in this photo from the 1960s. as a blessing. “I was honoured, humbled and loved,” she said. “I gave them the very best I could – all of me – and I think it was reciprocated.” In hindsight, however, the experience leaves her with big questions: “Could I have known? Should I have known? And what would I have done more than 50 years ago? I don’t know.” Some look back with regret. “I did realize with honest concern that they seldom saw their parents and family,” wrote one sister. “In retrospect, my regret is in not having had special training for this assignment. Perhaps we might have been more forceful in promoting the use and preservation of the native language.” Another Sister saw with clarity the injustice done to the children during her posting to Kuper Island. “The fact that the children were not allowed to share in … their worship of God experienced through their ritual dances, singing and prayers in the long house (made me) realize that we were keeping them prisoners away from the beauty of their First Nations life,” she wrote. When allegations of physical, emotional and sexual abuse at schools started coming forward, it affected the sisters deeply. “I no longer told my stories,” wrote one. “I did not want anyone to know that I had ever taught in a residential school.” That changed in 2010 when she connected with the Cowichan band’s Catholic Legion of Mary, where she was presented with the Elder Shawl and told, “You must tell your stories
because your stories are our stories.” It was a moment, she said, that changed her life.
Looking forward with conviction At last weekend’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission event, the Sisters of St. Ann’s booth proved very popular. The sisters offered photo albums from the schools, and former students pored over the pictures. It helped to rekindle a dialogue, said Zarowny. From the beginning of the commission’s work, the churches have played an active role, said Commissioner Marie Wilson. Our hope, Zarowny said, is that “our relationship with First Nations would become strong again.” One sister wrote her hope was for forgiveness. Another hoped “that First Nations people would take their rightful place in Canadian Society and their voices be heard and respected.” Zarowny is skeptical, however, about the federal government’s determination to create meaningful change. Many of the racist attitudes that gave rise to the Indian Act and the Residential Schools continue today, she said. “We need to address the schools, however, we can’t stop there.” Pointing to the Enbridge pipeline as an example of a failure to respect First Nations’ rights, she asked: “Have we learned nothing?” For more writings from the Sisters of St. Ann, read this story online at oakbaynews.com. rholmen@vicnews.com

Teachers’ Federation vote passes, plenty of high school sports programs in Greater Victoria have plans to continue even if there’s an official mandate for unionized teachers to withdraw from voluntary extracurricular activities in protest of Bill 22. High school sports such as girls soccer, boys rugby, the School Bike League and track and field are all carrying on. Even more are about to get going with golf and tennis among the next seasons to start up. “It’s not a good time for athletics,” said School Bike League commissioner Eric Simonson of Oak Bay High. “Many coaches (like me) think it is unfair to withdraw from extracurricular (activities).” Simonson said negotiations involving the teachers’ union usually don’t touch extracurricular activities. “I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.” Coaching is among the extracurricular activities that teachers in the Saanich School District, which covers the Peninsula and the northern edge of the municipality of Saanich, have already agreed to withdraw from. “It’s a big grey area that’s been left up to the individual (teachers), with most continuing for now,” said Darren Reisig, athletic director at Claremont secondary. “Claremont continued with all sports, but who’s doing what is up to that school or individual. If teachers aren’t doing it then community coaches (and parents) have stepped in.” In some cases, practices and games have been a little less formal. In the event it doesn’t pass, the local recommendation would stand, likely to be revisited at next month’s general meeting.

Vic High’s Milly Tsiatas and Lambrick Park’s Sheri Goodmanson battle for the ball during Tuesdays’ game at Vic High. Lambrick won 8-0 on goals by Goodmanson, Tyger Holt (two), Emma Entzminger, Emily Aspden, Sarah Lefebvre, Laura Homuth and Marisa London. Sharon Tiffin/News staff
“This is not a cut and dry picket line, (in terms of) what would happen if a teacher continues,” said Sean Hayes, Saanich Teachers’ Association president. “We’ve seen a prohibition on extracurricular before, in the early 2000s. I don’t remember anyone being sanctioned, but I do remember colleagues angry at colleagues, and teachers who continued to coach.” Meanwhile, private schools Glenlyon Norfolk, Saint Michaels University, St. Andrew’s and Pacific Christian are helping to carry the load. Sharing the commissioner duties for the city’s track and field league are St. Andrew’s teachers Angela McLeish and Kevin Mennie. They’re able to offer ongoing support without facing any
potential sanctions. Likewise, St. Mikes’ teacher Eliot Anderson is the high school rugby commissioner. “Many of our games are scheduled against independent schools so they’ll happen anyways. We wouldn’t be looking for games, we have a full schedule. We’ve got kids who’ve paid for the experience and we’ll give it to them.” Anderson’s also heard some schools might not look for extra games as a show of support, should it come to that. As for the school cycling league, Simonson intends to keep it alive however way he can. “I have many parents that can fill in for me if my union frowns on my participation.” sports@vicnews.com

Historic Craigflower Manor awaits its fate Bridge delay throws wrench into plans Kyle Wells News staff
Delays in replacing the Craigflower bridge are forcing The Land Conservancy to rethink plans to increase revenues at historic Craigflower Manor. With renovations resulting from a 2009 fire nearing completion and an understanding that the site would not be able to reopen this year because of the bridge work, the conservancy, which has operated the site since 2003, is mulling the manor’s future. The group is trying to come up with ways to increase revenues at the 1853 farming settlement in View Royal, as well as at the Craigflower Schoolhouse on the other side of the bridge in Saanich. Now that the start date for the bridge replacement has been pushed to January 2013 at the earliest, the conservancy is likely going to have to put a hold on developing revenue plans. Combined, both the manor and the schoolhouse cost about $150,000 per year to run when in full operation. When open, the sites make less than a third of that. Subsidies from the provincial government, which still owns the sites, make up the difference. “We would like not to have to be going back to the province with our hand out all the time,” said TLC deputy executive director Ian Fawcett. “We took on responsibility and we intend to try to find a way to make it sustainable.” The provincial government has allocated $21 million over three years to help make

Fawcett doesn’t yet know how much money that will result in for Craigflower Manor but it could potentially go towards the site. There is no desire to modify the buildings

mately they want to do what the community feels is appropriate. Fawcett said the Craigflower bridge delay creates a two-year impact on the site rather than one. There’s little point in starting a project when the property will likely be closed for the 2013 season. Whether or not the site will now be opened for this season, or to what extent, has yet to be decided. “It makes a dramatic difference to what we potentially can or can’t do and it’s going to make even more of an impact on our bottom line,” Fawcett said, “but just exactly what that will be, at this stage I don’t know.” The fire, which started beneath the staircase and is believed to have been caused by a space heater, resulted in significant smoke and heat damage, and destroyed much of the staircase area. Rebuilt stairs incorporate some of the old with the new. Some charred balusters, for instance, have been reused. Melted plexiglass had to be peeled off a section of wall displaying original wallpaper. As reminders of the fire, one patch of smoke-damaged wallpaper and a candle keeled over from the heat have been left. Provincial funding and some money from the conservancy have paid for the renovations, which cost about $240,000. Closure is not an option at this point, Fawcett said. Even if the conservancy has to continue to rely on subsidies, it will keep the site open. “It’s a really fundamental underpining of how we see our community,” Fawcett said. “It’s been looked after very, very well over the years and we intend to continue that. As a building and as an icon of the community it’s very important.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

Change record sought Great Diaper Change busts misconceptions about cloth Roszan Holmen
of beating last year’s record of 5,026 cloth diapers changed simultaneously. This year, 262 sites from 15 countries will host changing stations. The challenge is a fun way to promote cloth diapers. It’s a subject King-Harris feels strongly about. Disposables are piling up in the landfill, she said. “You feel so guilty knowing that none of it is going to break down.” With the introduction of flushable liners, cloth diapers “are so simple, they’re so easy,” she said. “There is this misconception that it involves safety pins, and scrubbing poop with your bare hands.” In May, her co-organizer, Rachel Aube, will be making a pitch to the Capital Regional District to provide $100 reimbursements to parents for choosing cloth diapers to help offset their start-up costs. She predicts the program would save

On April 21, parents will gather – babies in tow – with a goal to establish a new world record. Each will pick a quadrant taped on a school room floor, and when the whistle blows, all will change their babies into cloth diapers in unison. “At the end, everyone lifts up their child to show that the diaper is on,” said Charlotte King-Harris, one of the organizers of the Great Cloth Diaper Change. No need to wait for a dirty diaper to participate, she assured. “That would be a very poopy room.” The event has to be handled in an official way to ensure witnesses can make an accurate count of diapers changed, King-Harris said. Data will be submitted to Guinness World Records with the hope
money due to the savings accrued through reduced demands on the landfill. Bring your baby to S.J. Willis school, 923 Topaz Ave., at 9 a.m. Cloth diapers will be provided for parents who don’t own them. Old cloth diapers in good condition will be accepted for Cloth for a Cause, which refurbishes diapers for families in need. For more information go to GreatClothDiaperChange. com. rholmen@vicnews.com
