Engineering marvel’s history spotlighted in film by Belmont teacher Missing links to story of region’s water supply chain described in book Mike Davies News Gazette staff
In a dusty, massive chest in the basement of a home in Tacoma, Wash., retired University of Victoria psychology professor Charles Tolman found a key. Not a real, physical key, mind you. A metaphorical one. It was the key to completing the puzzle of the Sooke Flowline – a massive engineering feat in the early 1900s that is the foundation of how the Capital Region gets its potable water, even to this day. He didn’t know that’s what he’d found, though. “There were all these old photographs,” says Eric Tolman, Charles’ son, who teaches social studies at Belmont secondary and has made a film about his father’s book, Bringing Water to Victoria, recently published by the Sooke Region Museum. Many of those photographs were of his great cousin, Harry Huston Crawford, an engineer from Missouri who worked on
railroads in the early 1900s. Crawford, Eric says, needed a break from building railroads, so he took a job in a faraway town called Victoria to work on a pipeline project while he was on his way to Alaska, because he thought it sounded interesting. It turns out Crawford was something of a documentarian. He took hundreds of photographs and made books of notes on the project. Charles took these documents, cross referenced them with source material from the time period – such as archived newspaper articles and other documents – and fleshed out the story of how the Sooke Flowline came to be. Curators at the Sooke Region Museum were thrilled when they discovered these pieces of our region’s history had been found, and were happy to help Charles turn his meticulous research into a book. The decision to get Victoria’s water from Sooke Lake was

The photos and notes of Harry Huston Crawford, second from the left somewhere on the water pipeline route, were the impetus for Charles Tolman’s book, Bringing Water to Victoria, and his son Eric’s film of the same name, examining the building of the Sooke Flowline in the early 1900s. driven by the fact that the Goldstream lakes were, at the time, controlled by the Esquimalt Waterworks Company (EWC). Politicians of the day determined that water should be a publicly owned resource, rather than bought and sold. The water in Beaver and Elk lakes, piped to homes and businesses at the time, was not of a high quality and people were calling for a solution, with the
population growing. “Once Victoria decided to go to Sooke Lake (for their water), they first had to find a way to get the water from there to Victoria, obviously,” Eric says. They had to build a concrete flowline – essentially a series of short concrete sections of tube, four or five feet wide and four feet in diameter, grouted together one by one along the length of the route.
This route was far longer than would have been ideal, as they had to go around the property owned by EWC. The engineering feat of making it run on a more or less constant decline, to allow gravity to take effect, was extremely complicated considering the crude surveying equipment of the day.

Building self-esteem in non-traditional ways West Shore mom not your typical pageant winner Mike Davies News Gazette staff
Colwood resident Carol Scheidl isn’t who people picture when they hear the term “beauty pageant winner.” She’s the first to admit that. Then again, the pageants she’s been winning aren’t what most people think of when they hear that term, either. Sheidl is 52, a four-year survivor of ovarian cancer and a beautiful human being making her way in the world the best she can. It all started about four years ago, when her daughter Robyn was in Grade 11 at Belmont secondary. “She had been bullied really badly and we needed to do something,” Scheidl says. “Her selfesteem level was really next to nothing.” A friend suggested they enter Robyn in what are known as “natural pageants” that were gaining in popularity over on the mainland. A natural pageant isn’t like what you see on TV, Sheidl explains. “There’s no makeup – or very little and only for the older girls – no fake hair, no fake lashes, no fake tans, none of the big cupcake dresses or anything like that.” They entered Robyn in one and Sheidl says the atmosphere was so welcoming and supportive that her daughter took to it immediately, “and she really started coming into her own.” By the next year, Robyn was
Mike Davies/News Gazette staff
Colwood resident Carol Scheidl shows off one of her ever-increasing collection of crowns from her short time on the “natural pageant” scene. trying out for school musicals, making friends and actually enjoying life. She went on to be named Miss Vancouver Island 2013/14 at the Miss BC World pageant, and is now in Vancouver attending university. Someone then suggested to Scheidl that she enter a pageant, as well. “And I said, ‘Oh, seriously. You’ve met me, right?’” She has always been self-conscious of her appearance, she says, and the thought of entering a pageant would have been mortifying if it weren’t so ridiculous. Scheidl thought about it for a while, laughing at the thought itself, but eventually decided it wasn’t as ridiculous as she’d originally thought.
“I’m no longer going to live a life of regrets,” she decided. “I’m not going to live a life of ‘I could have’ and ‘what if?’” So she entered. Just for fun. She wanted to see firsthand what it was like to be on the stage her daughter had come to love. Pageants have age categories. Sheidl was placed in “18+.” “I was the oldest one on that stage by 30 years,” she says, laughing. But she had the crowd in the palm of her hand. She brought something to her performances that most do not – the fact that she wasn’t taking herself so seriously and was obviously there just to enjoy the experience. Her “Sleepwear” category routine, for example, was her in a big
fluffy robe and giant bunny slippers with her hair in curlers. And then the accolades started rolling in. She was happy when she placed third in “Talent,” for which she performed some Shakespeare. Then it was announced that she got the top score in “Rock Wear” out of all 60 competitors, “and that was pretty cool,” she said. “I kinda liked that.” She picked up a few other awards along the way, but the kicker was when she won “Miss Palooza,” which was the top prize at the event – called Pageant Palooza, a combination of a group of pageants held in Vancouver. Amber Snow of Surrey, who has become friends with Scheidl over the past few years – their daugh-
ters were in pageants together as teenagers – says watching Scheidl break onto the stage was simply inspirational. “I have issues with self-esteem and public speaking, myself,” Snow says, “so to see her get up there so confident, and then win, makes me feel as though my own insecurities really are silly. Watching her be so fun, carefree, natural and comfortable with both her age and her body, well, it was just very empowering. “I want my own daughter to be as happy and comfortable with herself as the woman I saw on stage that day.” When Scheidl shared her story about battling cancer and other health issues, Snow says, the audience was in tears while Scheidl herself was calm and composed. “I aspire to let go of my own insecurities and learn from strong women like Carol.” So what does the future hold for Scheidl? Well, she’s going to continue to attend natural pageants here and there, just for the fun of it, but she’s hoping to focus more on her career as a character actor. “I’ve had a few bit parts in things and done a few commercials,” she says, “but I’d really like to pursue it more. I guess we’ll see how things go.” She also would like to get into anti-bullying advocacy and selfesteem-building. “It would be great if I could get into some classrooms and tell my story, so that people can see firsthand that life isn’t about being beautiful, but about the attitude you have.” With an attitude like Scheidl’s, nothing can keep you down. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com
Mighty Garage Sale a staple of Metchosin community life Arnold Lim News staff
Metchosin is about to get mighty. The 16th annual Mighty Garage Sale returns to the rural community May 23 and 24, raising money and awareness through one of the West Shore’s biggest garage sales of the year. Metchosin Community Association board member Johnny Carline said the event, featuring thousands of donated items, is living proof of how the people here get behind their community. “We get thousands of people coming out and they spend the week (before) cleaning
out their garage and the week (of) filling up their garage again,” he said, laughing. “It has become an amazing community event … they are great fun.” Carline said the event is the MCA’s biggest fundraiser of the year. The approximately $16,000 raised in 2014 accounted for half of the association’s annual budget. “It’s one of those special days of the year you put on the calendar, and if you have visitors from out of town, you don’t apologize. You say ‘you’ve come on the right weekend.’” The MCA helps host and fund numerous programming initiatives, including maintaining the Metchosin Community House,
subsidizing seniors and parents programs, and working with the art and music community in Metchosin. Carline, a former chief administrative officer for Metro Vancouver and a Metchosin resident of four years, said the weekend event will see everything from power tools and clothing to old records and other “treasures” up for sale. All items are screened and priced before being placed on one of the dozens of tables put up for the thousands of guests expected. The hope is to raise more than $15,000 again this year, Carline said, adding he hopes similar community support will help them get there. “It’s just an opportunity to browse the
equivalent of a massive shopping mall, but instead of a mall, it is a massive outdoor garage sale,” he said. “It would take weeks to see an equivalent range of goods going to (individual garage sales).” Donated items can be dropped off to the tent at the Metchosin Community House parking lot, 4430 Happy Valley Rd., between 10 am. and 2 p.m. until May 22. Items not accepted include old shoes, mattresses, baby chairs, exercise equipment, TVs, pillows, soiled clothing and large appliances. For a full list, visit metchosincommunityhouse.com. The garage sale runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Father and son bond on pipeline film project Continued from Page A1
The water ended up in a reservoir, Humpback Lake – which did not exist before the project – at which point it was pumped the rest of the way to Victoria. “It was a huge, huge undertaking,” Eric says. “The engineering feat of actually putting this thing together and turning the tap on for the first time is just an amazing story.” The film Eric made of his father’s book, he says, was a way for them to bond on another level, around their mutual appreciation for history. Charles’ wife passed away last summer, “and so he put his heart and soul into this thing as a distraction,” Eric says. “This film was a way for my dad and I to get together, pore over photos and explore our love of the past.” “As far as drinking water is concerned, Victoria, British Columbia, is one of the most fortunate cities in the world,” begins Charles’ preface to the book. “Getting from the dubious sources of water available to the newly established Hudson’s Bay fort in 1843 to the secure supply that we now enjoy from Sooke Lake has taken a complex, at times tortuous and convoluted path. It is this path
....because west coast life is
enviable
“He did it strictly for benevolent reasons. He just loves history and wants to help share it.” – Eric Tolman on father Charles’ work on book project that is sketched in this book.” It’s not an easy read, Eric admits. It explores not only the technical aspects of the project, but the political factors and personalities involved. It is, however, an integral part of our region’s history and he’s happy to see it come to fruition. Bringing Water to Victoria is available at many local booksellers, as well as the Sooke Region Museum itself. Eric’s film can be found on YouTube by searching “Bringing Water to Victoria.” One hundred per cent of the profits from book sales go to the Sooke Region Museum. “He did it strictly for benevolent reasons,” says Eric. “He just loves history and wants to help share it.” The 100th anniversary of the taps coming on in Victoria happens May 28.

OUR VIEW
Visit by Mulcair not surprising If anyone doubted whether the federal election campaign is in full swing, those doubts were erased with the return to the Island last week of NDP leader Tom Mulcair. It’s not uncommon for party leaders to make surprise appearances in locales far from the halls of Parliament between sessions in the House, especially in election years. Mulcair’s presence at events in Ladysmith and Mill Bay and a major rally in Victoria on Thursday was without a doubt timed well, an attempt to surf the orange tsunami created by the reality-check win by the provincial NDP in Alberta. Having the leader in town – it was his second trip to the Island in two months – no doubt boosted the public exposure to NDP candidates running in the reconfigured ridings of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford and EsquimaltSaanich-Sooke, as well as Victoria, although all three have an NDP MP in their existing state. But let’s not forget that the NDP has fluctuated in national popularity since it roared to official opposition status in the 2011 election, thanks mainly to huge victories in Quebec. And there was clearly work still to be done in B.C., where Stephen Harper’s Conservatives took 21 of 36 seats – the NDP won 12, despite the popularity of then-leader Jack Layton – and received almost 50 per cent of the popular vote. The Island, which has long been a provincial NDP stronghold, has three of its five federal seats flying NDP colours at present, with Green Party of Canada leader Elizabeth May (Saanich and the Islands) and longtime Conservative MP and current cabinet minister John Duncan (Vancouver Island North) the exceptions. Mulcair’s timing to revisit the Island to pound home the message that his party is the only one with a hope of defeating Harper makes sense following the Alberta NDP win, but is also a sign the NDP is concerned about losing voters to the Greens, some pundits say. Whatever the reason, whenever federal leaders come to town they tend to make people stand up and pay attention. And that’s a good thing for the political process in general, no matter what party they represent. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

work seven days a week are in short supply. So naturally there is pressure to sell. Perhaps Letnick is right, and the ALC will stop productive farmland from being turned back into forest. While we’re waiting for that, here are a couple of other questions. What happens when these forests burn? The first big forest fire of 2015 grew out of control near Prince George last week. And since aspen doesn’t last 100 years, what is its real carbon offset value? How’s that European carbon trading market doing? It’s a mess, with the cost of emitting a tonne of carbon dioxide fallen far below what’s needed to be effective, and Interpol investigating various schemes to game the system. Remember B.C’s own Pacific Carbon Trust? This Gordon Campbell brainchild to sell carbon offsets was quietly greenhouse gassed after the Auditor General revealed its first two big projects were of questionable value to say the least. Finally, does anyone really think that returning B.C.’s scarce farmland to forest is a good way to change the weather? Would it offset the loss of local production and trucking in farm produce from elsewhere? And where are B.C.’s tireless food security advocates on this dubious scheme?

Metchosin bucks trend with ‘no’ on Suzuki document
Vanishing wetlands and trees are a major concern Further to recent stories in the Gazette about proposed developments in Colwood/ Langford, I suggest that a tree protection bylaw is required in our area. This would help in shaping our communities for a brighter future. I am sure our citizens Developments would be in favour of along Latoria Road having trees and wetare contributing lands dealt with in a to serious different manner than environmental currently. All one has to concerns: reader. do is drive along Latoria Road to see clear-cut properties, where wetland areas are being drastically reduced or have disappeared due to infill. Colwood and Langford councils seem to be in a great hurry to scoop in revenue and are allowing land developers almost a free-for-all. Over and over it appears that councils are not taking local area voters’ voices into consideration on development density concerns. Petitions with hundreds of signatures are cast aside. They are not realizing what they are allowing to be created for our future. I suggest Dogpatch will resurface. It will appear in a different form. High density can create its own special needs. Civic leaders (land use and planning committee members) should open their eyes and see that allowing a raping of the land does not lead to a healthy outcome. A tree protection bylaw would be a start. Years ago Saanich enacted a tree protec-
tion bylaw, which allowed such developments as Broadmead to be created. The Happy Valley and Latoria Valley areas don’t seem to have a hope. Will Bear Mountain be renamed Bare Mountain? Do we want to create a Surrey or a Broadmead? Jim Coates Colwood
West-Mont Montessori students brought forward the David Suzuki Foundation’s Declaration for a Healthy Environment for endorsement by Metchosin council May 11. It has so far been endorsed by 10 of 13 CRD municipalities. Metchosin is the only one so far to say “No.” The Declaration is a non-binding, ‘visionary statement,’ which seeks to encourage governments to consider environmental consequences in all their decisionmaking. More than 100 countries have
such an initiative enshrined within their constitutional rights. While the Declaration regrettably did not pass at Metchosin council, the principle received strong support from councillors Moralea Milne and Andy MacKinnon, who spoke with commitment and passion about our obligation to leave our children a future at least as good as what we enjoy now. As Coun. Milne noted to the dispirited students: adversity builds character. Don’t give up! Karyn Woodland Metchosin

Sr. Shamrocks’ opener tonight It’ll be a different look for the Victoria Shamrocks this Friday (May 22), when the defending Western Lacrosse Association champions kick off their 2015 season against Island rivals, the Nanaimo Timbermen, at The Q Centre. Key roster additions this spring have been offensive threat Dan Dawson, a fivetime national Mann Cup champion and former Shamrock; hardnosed defender Rory Smith, winner of the past two Cups with the Six Nations Chiefs, including last year against Victoria; and the re-signing after a year’s absence of former Shamrock stalwarts Cory Conway and Nolan Heavenor. The Shamrocks, who lost just three games in 27 regular season and playoff starts last year, are clearly gearing up for a run at the Mann Cup, which is held at the home of the WLA champion this season. Nanaimo is looking to improve on a last-place season in which the T-Men won just four games. Friday’s game gets underway at 7 p.m. in Colwood. The two teams hit the floor for the rematch on Sunday for a 7 p.m. game at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson and Dr. Chris Snow
Take Care Outdoors… in all Seasons!
The eye is somewhat protected against UV rays by the eyelid, the eyebrow, the orbit, the nose and the cheek. However, if you are outdoors a lot, in very strong sunlight, or near water, snow and ice, you need extra protection. Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen or proper clothing to protect your skin. If you don’t, you may be getting too much UV radiation. If this happens only rarely, it could just mean sore eyes and a painful sunburn lasting a day or two. If you make a habit of not protecting yourself, all year round, you risk developing eye and skin problems when you’re older. Experts estimate more than half of our UV exposure occurs by the age of 18. Children’s eyes are also at risk because the lenses of their eyes block fewer ultraviolet rays. That’s why young children should play in the shade between 11 am and 3 pm, and always wear hats with wide brims to cover their heads and shade their eyes. Of course, other types of sun protection are important too. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and proper clothing. Even if the day is hazy or cloudy, you can still get a sunburn from UV radiation. Teenagers and adults may wish to discuss appropriate types of sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription) with their optometrist. Parents can inquire about sunglasses for young children.

Golf Canada recognition an important step: GM Olympic View’s GBC Academy becomes part of an exclusive club Mike Davies News Gazette staff
The GBC Golf Academy at Olympic View recently added another feather to its already impressive golf cap. The academy was named one of 20 National Junior Golf Development Centres by Golf Canada, the governing body of ama-
teur golf in this country. “We were recognized as one of the five facilities (in B.C.) that met the program requirements, which was pretty cool,” says Olympic View general manager Randy Frank. “It aligns very well with our facility and community objectives, including being a welcoming place for players of all ages, backgrounds and abilities.” The designation is the top recognition by Golf Canada that a facility has everything needed to instruct golfers from the first time they pick up a club right through to becoming elite players – including comprehensive coaching support and top-level
education programs. Golfers as young as four can pick up the sport at Olympic View. “They’re called Little Bogeys,” Frank says. “It’s pretty cute. Their golf bags are as big as they are.” He says the club has been working hard the past few years to build the game amongst youth. Olympic View has sponsored three local elementary schools, and director of instruction Jeff Palmer has supplied them with equipment, instructing their physical education teachers in how to teach golf, and doing anything else required to help ensure
there’s some backfill coming through the ranks of the golfing world. “We’re trying to build the game,” Frank says. “It’s important to keep the younger generations involved, otherwise in 20 years we won’t have anyone playing. And it’s a great sport for them to pick up. It teaches great ethics and etiquette, and work ethic and manners, and how to act respectfully towards others. We recognize that we need to do our part to try to build the game, because it’s important.” Find out more about the GBC Golf Academy at golfbc.com under “Olympic View.” mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com
“By accessing world markets for Canadian oil, we’ll enjoy increased tax dollars and years of employment.” - Deborah Cahill, President, Electrical Contractors Association of B.C.
Coastal access for Canadian oil means an increase of at least $5 per barrel. By getting full value for our oil, everyone will benefit. Workers will gain from the $5.4 billion project. Oil producers will earn more revenue for their product. And Government will collect more tax revenue from oil producers to spend on programs such as health care, education and other services that benefit all British Columbians. Plus, we can invest in new training programs and create new jobs for our youth.

Auction to benefit region’s marketing In an effort to support the local tourism industry, Tourism Victoria is putting its own staff services up for auction block during the Spring Travel Auction. The auction, in its 20th year, includes travel packages, such as a seven-night Rocky Mountaineer Canadian Rockies experience, a three-night pamper package at the Fairmont San Francisco and a VIP day at the Butchart Gardens, among other things. This year, Tourism Victoria has also added human capital to the auction, including two hours of a content marketing specialist’s time to consult on improving social media strategies, two hours of a visitor councillors’s time to consult with guests of a hotel or B&B helping them make the most out of their stay and two hours of a chief marketing officer’s time to brainstorm with a business. “The tourism industry in Greater Victoria and beyond has been very generous with offers of great tourism products to support Tourism Victoria’s spring online travel auctions,” said Paul Nursey, CEO of Tourism Victoria. “All funds raised go right back into marketing Greater Victoria to potential visitors. There are some amazing deals to be had on the travel auction; start your bidding today and have fun!” Lacey Sheardown with UsedVictoria.com, an auction sponsor, said the fundraiser is a great way to support the local tourism industry. “UsedVictoria.com is an active community partner and we see the value in supporting Tourism Victoria’s semi-annual travel auction, as Tourism Victoria is one of the biggest contributors to the local economy,” she said. The auction runs now until May 31. To place a bid, visit gobid. ca. editor@goldstream gazette.com
Free Blue Box replacement for Capital Region Kendra Wong Black Press
Residents in the Capital Regional District will no longer have to pay for replacement or new recycling boxes. As part of the district’s renewed contract with Emterra Environmental, residents looking to replace damaged blue boxes or new
homes in need of them will receive the boxes for free. “Under the previous contract, the CRD purchased blue boxes and then sold them to customers who wanted more blue boxes and there were a series of retailers that sold them,” said Russ Smith, senior manager, environmental resource
management. “Under the new contract, the requirements require the collector to be the repository to supply replacement boxes or to new homes.” To request a new or replacement blue box or blue bag, call 250385-4399. editor@goldstream gazette.com
