Looking north RRU students put new skills to good use Kyle Wells News staff
sphere of the theatre is a novel venture. “With this story, it’s set in the environment that it reflects,” said artistic director Roderick Glanville. “Once I approached Fort Rodd and said ‘this is our idea,’ it was a perfect marriage because they’re looking to expand into more family and youth to get access to the park.”
After seeing firsthand some of the social issues which can make life difficult in the Canadian North, a group of Royal Roads University students is putting newly learned business skills to good use. As part of their curriculum, the group of five commerce students built a functioning e-commerce website, 60thandabove.ca, where international art lovers or dealers can bid on art from Canada’s north and help a good cause in the process. Half the profits go to the artist and the other half goes to Arctic Children and Youth Foundation, an Ottawa-based charity which supports children through social programs in the North. Group member Leandra Grenier-Green worked with children there for a time. “I saw tons of social issues. The kids would go home, the parents wouldn’t be there, they’d be locked out overnight,” she said. “This program helps negate that. It gives the kids more of a chance to engage with the community and to not fall into their parent’s footsteps necessarily.”

Actor Christine Willes, as Naani in Kalediscope Theatre’s production of War of the Eagles, talks to Eagle, played by Valerie Sing Turner. The play is being staged outdoors at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites starting Saturday.
Fort Rodd play brings history to life Kyle Wells News staff
Kaleidoscope Theatre will bring history to life as it takes centre stage at Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Sites for its adaptation of War of the Eagles, starting tomorrow. Adapted from Eric Walter’s book, which can be found in many classrooms, War of the Eagles tells the story of two youth, Jed and
Tadashi, living on a military base near Prince Rupert during the Second World War. As Japanese internment becomes policy the two boys are forced to confront the racism and confusion of war. The story touches on identity, First Nations relationship to Canada, what it means to be Canadian and the emotions and fear surrounding war. Outdoor theatre is not a new concept, but for Kaleidoscope leaving the controlled atmo-

Baird weighs in at 69 kilograms and Olsen figures he has a very good chance at dominating the welterweight category B.C. Boxing Provincial Championships at Olsen’s this weekend. Fighters who win in their division will qualify to compete in nationals in Regina Oct. 22 to 26. Provincials will provide a first fight for 16-year-old Liam O’Brien. “I don’t know what to expect, “ said the Metchosin Technical Institute student. O’Brien hopes one day to compete in MMA bouts, but for now he is an amateur boxer who also trains in kung-fu. Tailor Meszaros, 19, is gearing up for his second fight. His plan is to “hit him first instead of waiting for him to hit me,” said the 2012 Belmont secondary grad. Seven of the fighters who train at Olsen’s Gym four or five days a week will duke it out at provincials. More than 65 pugilists from across the province are registered to compete. All of the bouts are amateur and ownheadgear. Exotik Tour the boxersOur willvery wear Johanne “WearingLeader, headgear orDion not will doesn’t be on location for the whole make a difference,” Olsen said. “A duration of your stay. helmet only protects you from get-
efore Mixed Martial Arts was all the rage, boxing was the combat sport to watch. “Boxing is more of a head game, you only have two weapons. Just two things to attack with,” said amateur boxer Jordan Baird, 22, who trains at Olsen’s Gym in Colwood. “With MMA there is so much coming at you Charla Huber with kicks, Reporting punches and takedowns. In boxing we have two weapons and we have to use them right and know how to use combos.” Even with 28 fights and two national championships under his belt, Baird admits, “It doesn’t get any easier, you just have to control your nerves. I always get the jitters right up until the bell.” The electrician has been competing in the ring since 2006 “He’s a mover-puncher, meaning he hits you and them have moves,” said coach Nathan Olsen.

Coach Nathan Olsen: on his athletes ■ Robert Taylor, 34, 81 kilograms “He’s well-conditioned and has a great left hook.” ■ Malcom Roy, 33, 69 kilograms “He’s the pit bull of the crew.” ■ Jordan Baird, 22, 69 kilograms “He’s a strong puncher-mover.” ■ Jacob Varga, 20, 75 kilograms “He’s strong and technical. He’s got a great shot.” ■ Tailor Meszaros, 19, 75 kilograms “He moves well and he’s accurate.” ■ Liam Tauson, 17, 69 kilograms “He’s super active in the ring and he throws a lot of punches.” ■ Chase Westlake, 17, 75 kilograms “His conditioning his phenomenal and he has a good work ethic.” ■ Liam O’Brien, 16, 50 kilograms “Liam is very busy in the ring, he doesn’t have a great punch because his jab, uppercut, hook and cross are all good.”
ting cuts or concussions. If you get punched in the face, you will still get a broken nose.” Each competitor has the opportunity to fight all three days unless they are cut and don’t pass the medical, Olsen explained. By wearing the headgear they are more likely able to fight for the entire weekend. Another difference between amateur and professional boxing is the amateurs weigh in the day of each
fight. Pros weigh in a day before and often rapidly lose weight to meet class restrictions. Money raised from the event will go towards covering the travel expenses for future competitions. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children. Bouts start Friday night at 6:30 p.m., Saturday at 1 and 6:30 p.m. and Sunday finals are at noon at the gym, 520 Mt. View Ave. charla@goldstreamgazette.com
The Town of View Royal invites residents to celebrate its 25th anniversary as an incorporated municipality tomorrow, with fun activities. A community pancake breakfast will start the day from 8 to 10 a.m. The breakfast features warm beverages, live music and, of course, stacks of flapjacks. The much-anticipated time capsule ceremony is set to start at 9 a.m. at the stone mural wall on Island Highway. Over the past few months the View Royal Archives have been collecting submissions for the capsule, which will be sealed in the wall, not to be opened for 75 years. A family scavenger hunt at Portage Park starts at 10 a.m. A historic walking tour will also start at 10 a.m., heading out from the town hall flag pole. Local historian Maurine Duffus and renowned Victoria historic tour guide John Adams will lead participants through the community, highlighting notable stops in this journey into View Royal’s past. Parking is expected to be limited and participants are encouraged to take alternate transportation. news@goldstream gazette.com

Warship damage remains unknown Daniel Palmer News staff
The extent of the damage to a Canadian Navy warship at CFB Esquimalt won’t be known for months, but officials are starting tests on the fishing vessel responsible for the collision. Fishing trawler American Dynasty slammed into HMCS Winnipeg at CFB Esquimalt on April 23, damaging both ships and the jetty. Early reports indicated the Dynasty’s throttle was stuck, sending its bow into the frigate, said Raymond Mathew, regional manager for TSB Pacific marine investigations. While the navy conducts its own investigation, TSB officials are working to replicate the reported glitch. The Winnipeg was set to begin sea trials at the end of 2013 after a multi-million dollar overhaul, but was not expected for fleet operations until at least 2014, said Lt.-Cmdr. Desmond James, navy public affairs officer. “There is no immediate impact to (coastal defence) operations … but to give a timeline for the investigation, it’s impossible to do that right now.” dpalmer@vicnews.com

Motocross season revs up West Shore venue paces Langford in growth
M
otocross is alive and well in Langford, as a new season of races kicks off and expansion comes to Westshore Motocross. Sunday, May 26 will see the second race of the Victoria Championships come to the track (2207 Millstream Rd., behind Western Speedway). The first race attracted some 180 riders, and facility owner Jeff Evernden expects this second race will see around 120 riders of a variety of classes ripping dirt and vying for the lead. Evernden said motocross in Langford is experiencing a boom, evidenced by business at the track and the company’s Kyle Wells expansion. Reporting “Just like Langford has grown 30 per cent in the last few years, so has the business here and the amount of people coming through the doors.” Tuesday night races kick off June 4 and will run through to the end of July. These smaller races are also open to spectators and run from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. with manly local racers of a variety of classes squaring off. The track now offers the Learn to Ride program, a one-hour course on the basics of dirt bike riding for ages four and older, including
adults. Westshore Motocross has a fleet of about 30 bikes ranging from 50cc with training wheels to full size 250cc bikes for adults, and everything in between. Sessions cost about $30 to $50 and include “It’s just like instruction and all swimming lessons, the necessary safety equipment. skating lessons, “It gives parents skiing lessons, it’s a lot of reassurance that it’s handled the exact same, very well, rather it’s just a different than sneaking onto a logging road some- sport.” where,” Evernden – Jeff Evernden said. “It’s just like swimming lessons, skating lessons, skiing lessons, it’s the exact same, it’s just a different sport.” The building has expanded also, with new change rooms and a shop area. The operation is getting into servicing and selling parts. The race this Sunday is free for spectators. Registration for riders begins at 8 a.m., with races set to start at 10:30 a.m. Local riders such as Ryan Lalonde, Daniel Vanderbash and Graham Scott will be riding as some of them they prepare for nationals the following weekend in Nanaimo. The next stage of the Victoria Championships will be held on Aug. 11. For more information visit wsmx.azurewebsties.net. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW
Entering the era of efficient homes V ictoria has come a long way from the days of big drafty homes with thin singlepane windows and no insulation while heated by large inefficient furnaces. New homes come with low-flush toilets and double panes, energy efficient appliances and overall construction to keep the indoors comfortable for as low a cost as possible. In reality, this is the tip of the iceberg in terms of home energy efficiency. Heating through oil or natural gas or electricity isn’t getting cheaper and huge strides can still be made in terms of “normal” efficiency for the average home. Provincial and federal governments need to fund continuous and much more aggressive incentive programs to actually make a dent in terms of energy savings for homeowners. Successful provincial subsidy programs such as LiveSmart B.C., according to its website, invested $110 million into home energy upgrades and has helped homeowners cut their heating bills from 15 to 28 per cent. Despite this, LiveSmart ended on March 31 this year (FortisBC and BC Hydro have extended aspects of the program for another year). Programs to improve homes shouldn’t be a passing fad – it’s one of the most direct ways governments can help its residents save money. Municipal efforts, such as Solar Colwood, also spread the word while helping homeowners upgrade. That program ends in March 2014. It’s clear there is a lot of room for improvement in home design. The Eco-Sense house in Highlands – a house made of cob, that generates its own power from photovoltaics and solar panels, and recycles its grey water and wastewater – demonstrates that homes don’t have to be outrageously wasteful and damaging entities on the landscape. B.C. is looking to upgrade its building code for better minimum efficiency standards. This can’t come quick enough. The technology to build affordable, highly energy efficient homes is here. Developers need to provide it, and home buyers need to demand it.

may be higher priority calls but we do believe that we can’t ask you to be our partner in crime and then not have the time to attend to your home when trouble occurs. Community policing does not mean everything is dealt with locally though. There are several support and specialized services that are integrated with other municipal departments and the RCMP, such as dispatch, the emergency response team and detective units. These are effective and valuable so I’m proud to say Saanich is now a member of all integrated units. All of this comes at a price. It would indeed be cheaper to eliminate our “no call too small” policy. And like some of our neighbours, we could reduce costs from withdrawing from some of the integrated police units. Yet we believe that public safety is a priority and that we can keep Saanich safe by providing the best of both worlds: excellent quality community policing backed up by integrated regional units for specialized and support services. So what do you think? Are you willing to pay for the cost of this community policing model? Would you be willing to give up our “no call too small” policy? Do you support paying more to join integrated units within the region? We’d welcome your feedback. Comment at www.vicnews.com or on Twitter @frank_leonard with the hashtag #mayorsview.

Self-righteous NDP lost election on their own Re: Electors in B.C. fooled by Liberals (Letters, May 17) I suggest that it is the lack of comprehension of the real reason for the NDP failure and non mea culpa attitudes of the likes of Mr. Perkins that may well keep the NDP out of office for some considerable time. The election was lost by the NDP, rather than won by the Liberals. Simply put, the majority
of the electorate had three main issues the NDP inadequately addressed. The first, second and third were concern about the economy. With the current world financial uncertainty, it is natural that thoughtful voters would be uneasy with a party which has traditionally focused on redistribution of wealth, rather than creation of wealth. The
NDP put forward an election platform which called for spending on a plethora of social programs before knowing if they were affordable or how they could be financed, other than simply by increasing taxes to corporations and the rich. I would also suggest that the NDP’s self-righteous view, that all of B.C. is against oil pipelines and more tankers in the straits of
Juan de Fuca, is off the mark and cost them crucial votes. It would be wonderful to have a government that would simultaneously champion economic growth and have rewards shared more equitably; one that increased spending on social programs and education, commensurate with financial resources, and reviewed key environmental issues with the
objective rationale of risk versus economic benefit, rather than driven by political dogma. Alas, I fear that neither of the two main parties in B.C. have the will or the ability to deliver what may be viewed as a utopian wish. Oh, for a middle of the road party for middle of the road voters. Hope springs eternal. James McMillan Victoria
Readers respond: Election time columnist, sewage plant, native place names, parking beef Better background check was needed Re: Poor choice for B.C. pre-election piece (Letters, May 17) I found John Palmer’s letter interesting. I, too, thought that the preelection article by Gwyn Morgan (Think hard about B.C.’s future before voting May 14; Opinion, May 10) sounded like a Liberal advertisement. Now we learn more about the elusive Mr. Morgan. He is on the board of the Fraser Institute, but more importantly he recently retired as board chairman of SNC Lavelin, which is presently involved in court proceedings. Black Press rightfully highlighted Mr. Palmer’s letter, which told us of this behaviour, but it would have been better if Black Press had done proper background checks on Mr. Morgan prior to the election, not after. Ginny Gareau Victoria
No sewage plant in my backyard Re: Don’t pass sewage buck (Our View, May 15) I have a suggestion for
anyone who would suggest that locating a biosolids treatment facility on Viewfield Road is “probably the best of a hard situation:” Let’s build this facility right next to your house, and less than two blocks from where your children go to school. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins’ suggestion of a site on Burnside Road farmland may not be an ideal option. But let’s be clear about two things: Locating this facility on Viewfield Road is completely inappropriate, and it is totally unacceptable to those who live, work and attend school in the communities surrounding this site. Jeff Lukovich Esquimalt
Native place names need verification Re: First Nations to reclaim name of Mount Doug (News, May 17) I am in favour of restoring aboriginal placenames. Ethnographer Wilson Duff also had an interest in seeing them preserved, and devoted much of his career to ensuring these traditional designations not be lost.
Parking lot mishap produces a beef A beef to the person who scraped the back bumper of our black truck between 12:15 and 1:15 p.m. in the Sidney Thrifty Foods parking lot on May 20. The least you could have done was leave a note with your phone number or say you were sorry. Elizabeth Favelle Victoria
Letters Edward Hill/News staff
Tsawout First Nation chief Eric Pelkey, shown here atop Mount Douglas, hopes to see the rocky outcropping renamed Pkols, its traditional First Nations name. One reader agrees with the idea of restoring aboriginal names to local landmarks. He regarded his native informants as friends, and believed that documenting pre-colonial place names could help B.C.’s First Nations establish aboriginal title. In the 1960s, Duff consulted three Songhees elders who volunteered information about a site called Pkaals or Pkols. Two of them told Duff it was “the name of Mount Tolmie,” while the third
said it referred to a “beach outside Cadboro Bay.” I respect the efforts to restore the name Pkols, but would like to know to which place does it refer: Mount Douglas, Mount Tolmie, a beach near Cadboro Bay, all three? I question the likelihood that Gov. James Douglas and his clerks embarked on a day’s ride through the bush and up a mountain (which had no road to
its peak in 1852) to sign a treaty, when he could have the signatories visit him at Fort Victoria, as others had done, and where they frequently came to trade. I understand this contradicts oral history, but no other sources suggest that Douglas (or any colonial officer) would have been so accommodating. K. Dussault Saanich

CFB tours feature history, operations Play features strong aboriginal female character CFB Esquimalt again offers free public tours this summer to give folks a taste of the history of the Royal Canadian Navy and a glimpse into the current state of operations at the facility.

The two-hour tours, running through Aug. 24 (excluding June 29 and Aug. 3), happen Saturdays at 11 a.m. and start from the main gate of HMCS Dockyard, located at the west terminus of Esquimalt Road.

Glanville adapted the novel to a play and is also directing the play, which uses seven areas of the fort. “Some are visited a couple of times, some are visited only once,” Glanville said. “The audience experiences the play as we move through various stations that support the scene required.” Two actors play the titular eagle, that is shot by soldiers and then nursed to health by the boys. Valerie Sing Turner, plays the eagle and also Naomi Blackburn, Jed’s mother, a First Nations woman married to a white Canadian fighter pilot. Turner, although not First Nations herself, said she is loving the opportunity to play such a strong character. “So often we see First Nations in kind of victims, or exploited roles out there,” Turner said. “I thought it was really great to put out a different kind of role model.” Christine Willes, a local “I thought actor who has appeared in it was really a number of films and TV great to put out a shows, said she admires the play’s handling of different kind of some of its more troubling role model.” themes. “The kids really get a – Christine Willes sense of the dimensions of racism, the different faces it can wear, how it can play out,” Willes said, adding that the setting of the play lends to its atmosphere. “I thought was really brilliant to set it in a historical park,” Willes said. “There’s lots of resonance, lots of room for the imagination to expand and think and ponder about what it is to be Canadian.” The play is appropriate for all ages and though targeted at youth, has material of interest for adults as well. It runs Saturday and Sunday at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults and $18 for youth 16 and under. They are available through the Royal McPherson box office (3 Centennial Square) or by phone at 250-386-6121. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

“Homeless is a huge one. Alcoholism is another one,” Matt Antwright said of what he saw there. Along with the troubles, the students also noticed the beautiful and unique art that is a part of the Northern culture. “There’s so much art, so many beautiful pieces, we figured we could bring them together and create a business to help communities in need,” said Antwright. While the students make it clear they don’t believe the North is in dire need of outside
help, they saw this venture as a way to help out on a number of levels. The students see the benefits as threefold: helping the artists gain more exposure, helping Northern communities through the charity and helping art dealers discover new talents. In terms of the primary point of the project, the student’s own education, each said the experience has been worthwhile. “I think we’re using all the skills we’ve learned … and we’re putting it all towards this business, which is the end goal of this degree,” Shawna Yule said.
“It’s giving us a little taste of what the real world will be like.” The website is up and running, with art available to be bid on. Artists agreed to sell their works on the site, knowing 50 per cent of the profits will go towards the charity. “It’s already a success from our standpoint,” said Raymond Monner. “But then if we sell more we can increase the amount that we give.” Visit 60thandabove.ca to view the student’s page, or acyf.ca to learn more about the Arctic Children and Youth Foundation. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Mclaren shines a light on energy efficiency Grant program offers bright incentive to try efficient, attractive LED lighting
O
ne of Victoria’s premier lighting showrooms has joined with BC Hydro and the lighting manufacturer Standard Products to provide residents a chance to try out the latest lighting technology at a great price. While similar programs have in the past happened at “big box” retailers, Victoria’s Mclaren Lighting is one of three lighting showrooms in the province to be selected to take part in the pilot project. The state-of-the-art bulbs come with a $5 instant rebate, while the ceiling-mount LEDs offer a $13 instant rebate. The store was able to bring in a large inventory to make the program work, and offer customers a good opportunity to try the product. “They lowered their price and we lowered our price – we wanted to make this price very, very attractive and provide a better quality bulb,” explains McLaren’s general manager Dave Finnigan. “They knew we could promote it properly and we could make it happen,” says Finnigan, pointing out that the initiative is a great opportunity to show customers how much LED lighting has evolved in a very short time. While early years brought a number of dramatic technological changes, today LED lights are enjoying more subtle refinements to make them more user-friendly. “If you buy a bulb today, you’ll keep it for many years and be very happy with it; if you bought it a year ago, you’re now going to be looking at the newer technology,” Finnigan says. While people were concerned initially about the blue tone of the light, for example, the new bulbs offer the same warm tone as a traditional lightbulb, he says. Compared to a traditional lightbulb, however, where 80 per cent of the energy is wasted in heat production versus the production of light, LEDs distribute 80 per cent of
their energy to lighting and just 20 per cent to heat. That offers far greater efficiency – and energy savings. “People want all the benefits of LED but they don’t want to know it’s LED – now they can have both,” Finnigan says. At the showroom, customers can ask the questions and feel confident knowing that the Mclaren team has done the research on the products and technology, and has the knowledge and experience to back it. “When you buy from us, we have done the homework.” And that’s important with a Dave Finnigan technology that has evolved so rapidly. “Never before in the lighting industry has technology changed so quickly,” Finnigan says. The question of quality is key. BC Hydro notes that there’s a huge range in bulb quality and people who may have bought a lesser quality bulb in the past may not have been pleased with the lighting or longevity. These bulbs, however, come with a five-year warranty and are EnergyStar rated – two key points for homeowners looking to find an attractive and efficient lighting solution.
“EnergyStar-qualified LED bulbs use 75 per cent less energy that standard incandescents.” –

Mclaren Lighting is a family-owned and operated showroom celebrating more than 50 years in business, with showrooms in both Victoria and Nanaimo. With the Island’s largest in-stock inventory, the showroom features more than 5,000 items on display. As members of Western Canada’s largest buying group, Mclaren is also able to provide excellent pricing. According to BC Hydro PowerSmart, “LED (LightEmitting Diode) lighting is an emerging technology that holds great promise to revolutionize home lighting over the next decade.” In choosing an LED bulb, look for those with the EnergyStar label, “awarded to select LED products that meet strict efficiency, quality and lifetime criteria,” PowerSmart notes. Energy Star-qualified LED lights use 75-per-cent-less energy than standard incandescents. They last a minimum of 25,000 hours, or 25 years based on average household use, and contain no mercury.

Young Life raises cash for camp A major increase in traffic in its annual Home Design and Renovation Tour gave Young Life Victoria a major injection of cash to help send youth to summer camp. The tour, which ran over two days last month, saw 900 people troop through nine homes and the Oak Bay Beach Hotel to check out construction and design work done by local companies. The event raised $33,000 for the organization, which will use it to send youth from financially chal-
lenged families to its RockRidge Canyon camp near Princeton, B.C. The total was a huge increase from recent years, when the number of tickets sold was in the 500 to 600 range, said Young Life spokesperson Bill Okell. “It’s hard to explain what did it, but we suspect that maybe over the years we’ve increased the quality of homes on the tour,” he said.

Gzowski’s legacy continues Long-running literacy fundraiser takes Belfry stage Natalie North News staff
If you asked Mike Stevens where the heart of the country resides, he’d say, the North – where the struggles of some of our most vulnerable aren’t so different from those closer to the 49th parallel. Canadian harmonica virtuoso, Stevens, has taken time away from his own charity, ArtsCan Circle – a group of musicians and artists who travel to remote Canadian Indigenous communities to link creative artists with youth at risk – to come to Victoria for Literacy Victoria’s largest annual fundraiser, the Peter Gzowski Invitational, May 28 at the Belfry. Working with aboriginal youth in remote communities and funding accessible literacy programs for adults share the common bond of empowering the
often most disenfranchised and vulnerable members of society. And Gzowski, Stevens said, is not only the founder of the PGI golf tournament and subsequent fundraisers in support of literacy, but the late CBC broadcaster remains a true legend in the North. “If you go into an arctic community and talk about Gzowski, people really know him,” Stevens said. “He knew that the heart and the soul of the country was out there. He was championing literacy as a way to give these people a voice. … These communities really have something to say to the rest of Canada.” Stevens has recorded nine studio albums and spent the better part of the last 30 years travelling the world with his harmonica. He now splits his time between touring and ArtsCan, which he founded shortly after meeting youth who were solvent sniffing in Goose Bay, Labrador in 1999. Stevens broke into bluegrass circles by criss-crossing the
country, passing the hat, at a time when he was considered a musical outcast for his instrument choice. “Early on bluegrass didn’t want harmonica. Some people are so strict about what they’ll accept into the fold and call ‘real bluegrass,’” he said. “There was mandolin and guitar and acoustic bass, sometimes dobro, but there wasn’t harmonica. I’d face people who turned their backs to me while I played, or retune their instruments, so I couldn’t play with them.” He persevered through the rejection for years before eventually finding acceptance and greatness in the genre. “Every time it happened, I just got more pissed off and I wanted it to work even more.” Now, he has taken the stage at the Grand Ole Opry more than 300 times. Despite a prolific career, the 55-year-old from Brights Grove, Ont. will play Victoria for the first time ever this month. His set list is undetermined, as always, as Stevens doesn’t know from one

Russell deCarle of Juno award-winning country roots group Prairie Oyster is also on the bill for the evening and they will be performing together. “I’m doing something that I really love and believe in and it’s
absolutely honest for me to do it. There are no smoke and mirrors, no schtick involved. Stevens’ no-holds-barred, impassioned performances have resulted in seven hernias – and zero softening of his style. PLEASE SEE: Literacy, Page A11

Literacy Victoria welcomes Stevens along with fellow bluegrass, folk and roots performers for their biggest fundraising event of the year. Funds support a variety of workshops and equipment used to teach oft-stigmatized adult learners a range of literacy skills including communications and technology training. “Some people are still quite embarrassed about (seeking literacy training), but a lot of people are saying: ‘OK, enough of this hiding it; time
to get at it,’” said Ruth Derrick, executive director of Literacy Victoria. “It’s great, because the confidence that they instantly receive from achieving the things they thought they’d never achieve – it’s incredible.” Clients often face chronic health or family issues that make it hard for them to complete their education, or are further weighed down by a sense of worthlessness, Derrick said. Her message: “Everyone can learn at any point in their life.” See Stevens, deCarle, Steve Briggs and Denis Keldie, as
well as humourist Arthur Black and host Shelagh Rogers, this Tuesday, May 28 at 6 p.m. at the Belfry for PGI Plays the Belfry (1291 Gladstone Ave.) Tickets are $45 for the show, and include pre-show appetizers, or $100 for the VIP package, which comes with a post-show party with the artists and a $50 tax receipt. Tickets are on sale at the Belfry box office: 250-385-6815 or online at belfry.bc.ca. Since its inception in 1986, the PGI events have raised more than $12.5 million for literacy. nnorth@saanichnews.com

hether you’re heading out for a night of bowling with your buddies, a casual date night or a family dinner with the kids, the Galloping Goose Grille offers the perfect combination of food, service and setting. Located in the heart of Langford’s recreation district, in Langford Lanes at the Westhills Arena, the Galloping Goose Grille offers a casual yet premium dining experience. Brunch is served daily from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., featuring such favourites as the Galloping Goose Breakfast Bunwich, the Classic Breakfast and yummy Coconut Milk French Toast, served with caramelized apples and bacon. Pub-style appetizers include the Grille’s unique approach to poutine and chicken wings, along with house specialties such as Smoked Fish & Dill Chowder, with housesmoked salmon and cod. Continue on to a main course of beer-battered fish & chips, the delicious Galloping Goose Burger, or try a contemporary take on classic comfort food with Pulled Pork & Mushroom Ragu or Bison Meatloaf. Kids are always welcome at the Grille, and that means they also enjoy their own special menu, including mini burgers, pizza, hot dogs, chicken fingers and grilled cheese – not to mention deep-fried Oreos for dessert! Of course, those with a more grown up sweet tooth might also enjoy the home-made lemon tart or fresh-baked apple pie. “We want to keep things very honest and classic, with a huge emphasis on the quality of the ingredients we use,” says Phil Kwong, director of operations.

Are small town newspapers a good business investment?

neering and took my MBA,” says Black. “I ended up as a �inancial analyst for the Toronto Star for a couple of years and started to like the (newspaper) business. I particularly liked the weeklies.” When his father told him that the Tribune was being sold, Black asked if he could buy it. “He just laughed and said, ‘Why do you think I told you?’” recalls Black fondly. The young Black family moved to Williams Lake “for a couple of years” but “fell in love with small town living” and stayed for a decade. While there Black learned the business at the grassroots level. “I learned a lot about the weekly newspaper business,” says Black. “When somebody left, whether it was an editor or a compositor or a sales rep or a circulation manager or … I ended up doing the job until we found a replacement. I really helped me the rest of my career because I actually know what it takes to do the job.” And from Williams Lake, Black began to expand his career and business. In 1980 he purchased the Ashcroft Journal (now the Ashcroft Cache Creek Journal). Today David Black lives in Victoria and Black Press includes more than 190 publications, in B.C., the Prairies, Washington State and a daily in both Hawaii and Akron, Ohio. So why has Black Press been so successful? “I understand business, I have a head for business. But the trick is people. If you can surround yourself with people who are really good, you will succeed,” explains Black. “We have really good staff.” And that is part of the reason why community newspapers aren’t as threatened by the internet, say Black. “We are putting out as good a local paper as we can afford editorially. It shows in the numerous awards we receive every year and our readership.” says Black. “I think weeklies will continue very much the same, I don’t see huge

Rotary celebrates 100 years Greater Victoria is celebrating a century of “Service above Self.” As Rotarians throughout B.C. mark 100 years of Rotary in the province, the Rotary Club of Victoria also celebrates this significant milestone. The Victoria club was established Nov. 14, 1913 as the 90th club in the world. Forty-one charter members joined Frank Higgins as the first president for the inaugural banquet at the Empress hotel. Over the years, club presidents included Victoria-area mayors and several MLAs and cabinet ministers. Hockey legend Lester Patrick was president in 1921-22. Over the decades, the Victoria club has contributed to numerous community services and amenities. In 1947 it raised $15,000 to construct the tourism publicity bureau that is now Tourism Victoria. The Island Highway, Crystal Gardens, Willows Fair Ground, United Way Victoria, YMCA, Royal Roads University and the Salvation Army are a few of the institutions that have been supported by the Victoria Rotary Club. In the past decade alone the club has provided more than $1 million to community groups and organizations touching every demographic, including Read Victoria, Mustard Seed Food Bank, Rainbow Kitchen, the CNIB, Victoria Police Victim’s Services, Esquimalt Neighbourhood House, Our Place, Victoria AIDS resource centre, Sooke Family Resource Centre, and the Mount St. Mary Foundation. The club has supported Rotary International’s efforts to eradicate polio, and through Operation Eyesight to help people in developing countries, as well as helping communities in rural Kenya with literacy, education, training and clean water. For more than three decades Victoria was the only Rotary Club in the region, established just 10 years after businessman Paul Harris founded the organization in Chicago. There are now 11 Rotary Clubs from Sidney to Sooke with 600 members in total. Rotarians are men and women from nearly every walk of life, who meet weekly for fellowship and to work on projects and community fundraising activities. At the Rotary Club of WestShore, for example, initiatives range from providing volunteers to read with First Nations children in Metchosin to helping found a successful girls’ school in Malawi, Africa. Other projects include water wells and children’s hygiene boxes in Africa and a play park for young

stoves in Rwanda. Support has gone to the Canadian Red Cross after Hurricane Katrina and has helped provide “shelter boxes” to aid victims of natural disasters. Royal Oak Rotarians have supported everything from a landscaping project at the Garth Homer Society building to providing supplies for AIDS orphans in Africa. Recently, the club also supported the production of a DVD, Teachings from the Half-Boy: A Cultural Homecoming, which offers insight for Elders, parents and Residential School survivors seeking to preserve traditional culture for their children. It also speaks to nonAboriginal people about the importance of telling their story, knowing their history and cross-cultural understanding. The DVD can be ordered for $10, plus shipping, by emailing info@sccfs.com; proceeds support early learning programs.
