Oak Bay resident Marya Nijland used last year’s Garagellennium event to raise money to help relocate a refugee Palestinian family to Canada. Her garage sale raised more than $1,000.

“I saw it in the paper, Garagellennium, and I thought that sounds like a good idea,” Nijland said. “It was a big success. You wouldn’t believe it.”

The family had been living in a refugee camp in al-Hol, Syria for six years. A group of church members in Oak Bay came together to raise the needed funds, and Nijland, as she often does, had been helping out with the effort.

With donated items from other people involved in the fundraising and a team of volunteers ready to help with

the sale, Nijland raised the money in one day, selling everything from books to records to art to household items.

The money from the garage sale was combined with money from multiple other fundraisers, including Middle Eastern dinner nights, to make up the thousands of dollars needed to give the family a fresh start in Canada.

Nijland is reluctant to reveal details about the family, but said they have been relocated and are doing well.

Registration for the 14th annual Garagellennium, which takes place June

8 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. is now open. Volunteer organizer Graham Lamb

said the event typically sees 150 to 200 people sign up for sales and draws in shoppers from all over Greater Victoria.

Lamb said many people choose to hold fundraiser garage sales during the event. Because it’s free to register and is a high-profile event, it’s a great opportunity to raise money for a good cause.

Oak Bay resident Marya Nijland raised more than $1,000 at last year’s Garagellennium to go toward resettling a refugee Palestinian family in Canada. She has many tips on how to hold a successful garage sale.

Organizing a major confer-ence is no easy feat – just ask Jim Dunsdon.

For nearly four years he’s been working as vice-chair of Con-gress 2013, an eight-day event at the University of Victoria that will draw some 6,600 humanities and social sciences professors and researchers from across Canada.

Dunsdon’s job is to plan and co-ordinate the logistics side of Congress, ensuring everything from booking and prepping the 225 rooms on campus with audio-video equipment to orga-nizing transportation for del-egates to get back and forth from the airport, ferry, hotels and UVic, from June 1 to 8.

“It’s been a lot of work; it’s been challenging, but it’s been a lot of fun,” he said. “Once we established a bit of context – we’re going to have 10,000 peo-ple on campus, but we usually have 20,000 people on campus September to May – it helped make it easier to plan.”

It’s not quite the same as stu-dent intake though. Take, for example, the monumental food and beverage task that lays ahead.

Some 25,000 cups of coffee need be made and poured over

the course of the conference. Catering will go through 630 litres of coffee cream, 543 kilo-grams of cheese, 386 kg of sand-wich meat and 5,200 portions of yogurt as part of 757 separate catering orders to keep delegates fed.

“The food services team needs to get 6,000 cups of coffee to 225 rooms across 22 buildings at 7:30 in the morning and keep it hot,” said Suzanne Dane, Congress project manager for UVic. “It’s not an easy undertaking.”

To prepare, last year the uni-versity revamped its entire cater-ing program.

“We have brand new menus, a brand new pricing strategy, bet-ter ingredients. It all combined to really raise the level of service and quality on campus,” Duns-don said.

“And we did that with one eye on the fact that we knew it was going to be a significant test for our campus. We had to make a big jump to make sure we could meet the expectations of (Con-gress) attendees.”

This is the first time since 1990 that UVic has hosted Congress for a week of 1,800 meetings and symposiums at UVic.

But alongside the scholarship, the university is working to draw the Greater Victoria community to the campus through a big party with daily concerts, food booths, a beer garden and “Big Thinking” speakers.

“We are bringing the commu-nity to campus and recreating the Inner Harbour experience using petty cabs, flower car-riages and a lot of local perform-ers,” Dane said.

“We want to make people aware of what Congress has to offer and it isn’t necessarily just an academic event.”

The Federation for the Human-ities and Social Sciences awarded UVic the 2013 Congress in 2008 through a competitive process. It took UVic a year just to complete the bid package.

“The federation was extremely impressed with the community support. The chamber (of com-merce), mayors, Tourism Victo-ria showed that strongly support Congress and are eager to be involved,” Dane said.

UVic is aiming to make Con-gress a zero waste event. Attend-ees will receive reusable plastic water bottles, all plates and cut-lery will be compostable and 35 stations will be set up around campus for food waste.

“The UVic community wants to do a wonderful job hosting this event and make it very special for the delegates and the local community. We want everything to go smoothly,” Dunsdon said. “We’ve been doing a lot of work to get to this point, but it’s kind of only just begun.”

UVic preps for flood of academicsUniversity hosts Congress, Canada’s largest academic conference

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

University of Victoria executive staff members and lead Congress 2013 organizers Jim Dunsdon and Suzanne Dane sit in one of the many golf carts that will be used to transport thousands of delegates arriving this week for Congress 2013, the largest academic gathering in Canada.

Edward HillNews staff

The Congress of the Humanities and Social Sciences – known as Congress – should give Victoria’s anemic tourism industry a healthy shot in the arm for 2013.

The University of Victoria’s 1,700 resi-dences are fully booked and the confer-ence’s 15 partner hotels downtown have sold 5,820 room nights so far.

Suzanne Dane, Congress project man-ager for UVic, said based on Tourism Vic-toria estimates on spending habits for visi-

tors, Congress should generate $9 million to $12 million for the local economy.

Unlike university students who flood the city each September, Congress delegates “have the income to spend on food and they’ll actually eat three meals a day,” Dane said. “A large number come with their fami-lies and stay pre- and post-Congress.”

Dallas Gislason, economic development officer for the Greater Victoria Develop-ment Agency, said Victoria needs to high-light its assets to visiting academics and their families to reap long-term rewards.

“For me this is an exciting opportunity

for the community to go far beyond tour-ism,” Gislason said. “We can look at the impact of 9,000 guests, some 7,000 del-egates with taxis, hotels and meals ... but that is the tip of the iceberg.”

The Congress itself is made up of more than 70 individual academic associations, which creates an opportunity to entice each association to return to Victoria for individual annual conferences, he said.

It’s also an chance to show visiting aca-demics a city where they might like to teach, retire or live during a sabbatical.

“We’ve got 7,000 highly educated people

coming to the community,” Gislason said. “The opportunity is to show off a region that is livable with educated, engaged citi-zens.”

While UVic is trying to draw the public to events on campus during Congress, it is setting up incentives for delegates to check out restaurants, businesses and tourism highlights.

“Delegates will be given discount tickets for destinations like the Royal B.C. Museum and Butchart Gardens,” Dane said. “We want people to experience Victoria.”

Bert Buchanan left money to fitness facility in his willDon DescoteauNews staff

To say cycling was a passion for Bert Buchanan would be an understatement.

Nearly right up to his death at 91 in the fall of 2011, he rode regularly from home to the Vic-toria YM-YWCA, where he would climb on a stationary bike for an even more strenuous workout.

Herbert Ewart Buchanan was instrumental in getting cycling into people’s consciousness in the 1950s after arriving in the city, through initiating riding groups and organizing cycling

trips. In his later years he cycled

competitively in the B.C. Seniors Games, winning medals fre-quently.

“He was one of those guys who was just here all the time,” recalls the Y’s general man-ager, Mark Dodd, a longtime employee.

“Even in his late 80s, he would ride his bike here, then take a spin class, have a coffee with the guys and ride his bike home.”

Given the amount of time he spent in the Broughton Street facility and the contributions he made over the years, the board of the YM-YWCA wanted to hon-our him somehow at the gym.

A perfect opportunity to do so came after it was learned that Buchanan had left a sum of money to the Y in his will.

Nearing 10 years old and at the end of their useful life, the club’s s t a t i o n a r y bikes needed replacement,

Dodd said.Not only were 21 new bikes

purchased at a cost of around $2,000 each, he says, the room itself was renovated, with proper air conditioning and a new sound system installed.

“It’s obviously wonderful when we get a bequest like this, especially from somebody like Bert, who was so involved with the Y for such a long period of time,” says YM-YWCA CEO Jen-nie Edgecombe.

The bequest was not des-ignated, she says, but the Y wanted to recognize Buchanan and the spin room refurbish-ment seemed the perfect oppor-tunity to put the money to good use.

A ceremony to unveil the new stationary bikes and spin class room was held in late April. The Y has installed a plaque in mem-ory of Buchanan, and renamed the space Bert’s Bike Room.

They invite the public to come down and check it out and per-haps go for a spin.

There are car clubs for vintage cars and muscle cars, and almost every style of vehicle that rolled off the assembly line.

And its no different for cars that don’t guzzle gas.

An enthusiastic hybrid vehicle owner from Saanich is launching a “Prius and Tesla Club” for Vic-toria.

Heinz Nussbaumer, who bought a Prius hybrid car last September, and is trying unite hybrid and electric vehicle drivers together to trade advice and information on what are still evolving technolo-gies.

Nussbaumer said he’s primar-ily focusing on Prius and Telsa drivers, since Prius was the first mainstream hybrid, but is open to

anyone with any model hybrid or electric vehicle.

“I’m interested in meeting other hybrid owners. I think we’d have a lot in common,” said Nussbau-mer, who lives in Gordon Head.

Having Tesla owners show up is more aspirational than realistic – Nussbaumer said Victoria might have one or two Tesla vehicles, and the closest place to buy one is Seattle.

“This is my wife’s car,” he said, referring to the Prius. “My goal is to drive a Tesla.”

Check out meetup.com/Prius-Tesla-Club-Victoria or meet at My Chosin Cafe on Sunday at 11 a.m., 4492 Happy Valley Rd, in Metcho-sin.

The B.C. government will go ahead with its plan for Alberta-style senate elec-tions if it proves impossible to scrap the senate altogether, Premier Christy Clark said this week.

Clark issued a statement in response to the controversy over senate expense claims that has gripped Ottawa.

On record as preferring the senate be scrapped, Clark declined to comment on federal Liberal leader Justin Trudeau’s statement to a Montreal news-paper that the senate should be preserved because Quebec has 24 senators and Alberta and B.C. have only six each.

“It’s true British Columbians have long been troubled by an unelected senate, but it should be fixed or folded and not a dis-traction,” Clark said.

“The Prime Minister invited us to move the process of sen-ate reform forward. To that end, we have moved legislation in the house before the election that would make a senate election possible. It has not been passed and it will not be re-introduced until there is clarity from the Supreme Court.”

Clark added: “We need to remember the fact that B.C. and the West is dramatically under-represented in the unelected senate.”

The federal government has asked the Supreme Court of Can-ada to rule on whether it can abolish the senate, or impose term limits and a provincial elec-tion requirement on new sena-

tors appointed.When former B.C. Liberal

MLA John Les tabled senate election legislation in 2011, Clark made her preference clear.

“I think that if we could, under the constitution, we should abolish the senate,” Clark said at the time, adding that electing senators would be the next best thing.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper returned to the House of Commons Tuesday to face opposition questions on the con-duct of Senators Mike Duffy and Pamela Wallin, whose expense claims have come under scru-tiny.

Both have left the Conser-vative caucus to sit as inde-pendents, along with former Conservative Senator Patrick Brazeau and Liberal Mac Harb, whose expenses are also subject to an audit.

OUR VIEW

Last week in the News, Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard threw down somewhat of an editorial gauntlet in front of VicPD with his views on community policing and Saanich’s “no policing call too small” policy.

Mayor Leonard’s words were clear enough, but his unspoken implication is also pretty simple: Saanich provides a comprehensive community-based approach to policing, which works, while Victoria and Esquimalt provides a limited, reactive call response approach, which doesn’t.

Unfortunately, most of Mayor Leonard’s assertions are false or inaccurate and I’m mystified why he feels the need to keep taking these shots at us.

For example, Mayor Leonard asserts that VicPD does not attend false alarms, noisy house parties and break and enters.

This is patently untrue. Since Jan. 1, VicPD has attended 344 noise complaints, 233 break and enters and 229 alarms. Why these bald assertions about another police department’s operations would be made without checking into the facts astounds me.

For some years now, VicPD has not attended alarm complaints where we know to a virtual certainty they will be false. No one is breaking into the front door of a shopping mall or a school at 11 a.m. on a day they are wide open for business. This has saved our taxpayers the costs of responding

to 3,000 to 5,000 false calls per year and allowed us to direct scarce resources to providing actual police

service to the community, not window dressing.

I’ve been writing for nearly four years now on a blog about the work of our officers on the streets of Esquimalt and Victoria. Whether it’s helping an elderly person get back into their bed, or rescuing a dog from an overheated car, I remain amazed at the number of “small calls” our uniformed response officers routinely

handle with courteous and diligent professionalism.

In addition, as I scan our organizational chart I see that we devote approximately 17 full-time staff members to what I consider community policing functions, be they community resource officers, school liaison, integrated outreach teams or volunteer co-ordinators.

Many of our programs have been recognized at the national and international level for their efficiency and innovation. Combined with our leadership on the social media front, I’ll hold our product up against anyone else’s.

Where our responses differ from Mayor Leonard’s policing philosophies stem from us not having the luxury of simply ignoring the region’s most difficult crime and social problems.

It’s no secret to VicPD members that many of the region’s hardcore drug dealers, organized criminals and party crowd live in the outlying areas, which most certainly

includes Saanich.The criminal element of these

groups ply their trade on the streets of our downtown core and often retire to the bedroom communities, where not enough attention is paid to them. After 34 years I could fill a police notebook with instances where outlying agencies have either declined outright or simply don’t have the true capacity to deal with serious criminal elements living in their communities, leaving it to VicPD to handle or simply allow the problem to be ignored.

The model of regional integration currently being discussed won’t help either. It doesn’t go far enough to include core policing functions such as traffic, identification units, detectives or K9 and how we could use economy of scale to reduce all of our workloads. It unfortunately has remained at the level of things like the dive team, used by VicPD once in the last two years, and other ancillary functions which have virtually no meaningful impact on anyone’s policing services.

It also creates a cumbersome process of management by consensus, where four or more people end up being in charge and no one is actually accountable for service delivery.

So to respond to Mayor Leonard’s question: “Are you willing to pay for the cost of this community policing model?” My answer is: “I wish I could afford to, by freeing up the taxpayers and officers of Esquimalt and Victoria from having to subsidize your luxury.”

John Ducker is deputy chief for administration with the Victoria Police Department.

VicPD deputy accepts challenge

‘I’m mystified why (Leonard) feels the need to keep taking shots at us.’

Elect senate or abolish it

In the minds of many Canadians, the purpose of the Canadian Senate is a bit of a mystery.

It’s a body that’s not elected, what it accomplishes is less than clear, and news about it only erupts when politicians talk about reform, or more recently, when senators play fast and loose with the purse strings of taxpayers.

The original purpose of the Senate was to give a sober second thought to bills passed by elected Members of Parliament, and, according to its website, to bolster underrepresented groups, such as women, aboriginal people and minorities.

When it comes to being a champion of aboriginal, women’s or minority rights, the Senate is perhaps the last organization that leaps to mind.

As well intentioned as the Senate was when created in 1867, today the body is effectively a patronage system for the ruling party to reward loyal and often high-profile Canadians with prestigious well-paid jobs. A more cynical interpretation is the Senate acts as no more than a slush fund to carry out political favours.

This week B.C. Premier Christy Clark reiterated her stance that the Senate should be abolished. She said if that’s not possible, B.C. will start electing its senators in an attempt to bring some validity to the body which cost Canadians $106 million in 2012 (minus the $90,000 paid back by senator Mike Duffy).

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has long advocated reforming Senate terms and appointment procedures, or even doing away with it altogether. That hasn’t stopped Harper from appointing 56 Conservative senators (and two elected in Alberta) over his time in office.

If Parliament can’t abolish the Senate or it accepts that it has a reason to exist, change is desperately needed. The number of senators per province isn’t based on population and it’s not supposed to be, but the current distribution is all over the map.

Does it make sense that New Brunswick and Nova Scotia have 10 senators each and Quebec has 24, while Alberta has six and B.C. has five?

For the Senate to have credibility, rather than act as a vehicle for patronage and self-serving party loyalty, each province should have an equal number of elected senators, perhaps two or four each.

Senators themselves should not be sitting silent, and should be seeking to reform an institution that has no accountability or credibility in terms of working in the interests of Canadians.

Details still missingfrom sewage coverage

While I appreciate that the News continues to explore the sewage treatment issue, please reflect the complexity of the situation in your editorial.

Give us the details about the painstaking and costly studies that were undertaken, because it is my understanding that that is exactly the problem, there were little or no studies and much money has been spent with minimal community involvement.

And some of the studies that were done recommend a very different approach than the one the Capital Regional District is bullishly pursuing, i.e. smaller operations throughout the region and extraction of materials for re-use; the shaming headline that the Esquimalt/Vic West community is passing the sewage buck, while a catchy phrase is very misleading.

Historically this area has more than done its share. It has been the site of industries that left a legacy of pollution that is only now being remedied. It is becoming a vibrant community with families proudly reclaiming the older houses and new and innovative housing and businesses, including Dockside Green, that unlike the CRD proposal, produces drinkable water from its more technologically advanced sewage treatment system.

I am concerned that

the members of the CRD committee, now that they have spent so much money as well as risked their personal reputations by backing a flawed approach, will no longer be able to make an unbiased decision.

Our region voted in 2007 not to have centralized sewage treatment.

There is no hurry to do this. Let’s take the time to get it right. We are all in this together and we all live in one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

Susan WebberVictoria

Other choices availablefor sewage plants

The Viewfield Road site in Esquimalt is the wrong choice for a sludge plant, given its small size as well as close proximity to residences, schools, a grocery store and many other businesses.

And no, I am not happy that my house is a mere 400 metres downwind from the site – more than 200 residences are within 600 metres.

Perhaps the complete treatment facility could be built on the McLaughlin point site if only DND would release some adjacent land for sludge treatment. That is unlikely to happen, as the release of such lands by the federal government would likely be met by an instantaneous land claim from the relevant First Nations.

So why doesn’t the Capital

Regional District expropriate a bigger, better site? Why not build these facilities on any golf club in the area, or the south part of Government House property in Victoria, or in Beacon Hill Park, or Uplands Park, or unused land at the University of Victoria, etc. That will not happen of course – the underlying criterion here appears to be ‘no effluent near the affluent.’

I’m sure that none of the councillors on the CRD sewage committee who are pressing for the Viewfield site live anywhere near it. Just whom are they serving?

I hope Esquimalt council does all it can to block the Viewfield site.

LETTERS‘Greenest neighbourhood’ a fallacy

Re: “A one-man green machine” (News, May 17)

The first sentence claims “Gordon Head is the greenest neighbourhood in the country.” What a sad and astonishing statement.

Oak Bay-Gordon Head may have elected a Green party candidate, but there is pathetically little evidence to demonstrate that the residents are “green” in any meaningful way. Just putting a blue box at the curb doesn’t cut it.

I live in the riding and during the election had a close look at the houses that put up Green party signs. One would expect these residences to stand out as examples of environmentally friendly living.

Not so. I have no way of knowing whether Green party voters grow all the food they eat, weave all their own clothes and make their own shoes.

But when it comes to transport, I can verify they get around just the same as everyone else. Many homes I checked had multiple vehicles in the driveway and more

than half had an SUV, the most inefficient and polluting class of passenger vehicles. I saw more pickup trucks than hybrids and not one electric car.

It is easy to observe that Green voters behave just like the rest of the population, in which commuters overwhelmingly choose private cars over the bus and only a handful bike to work.

One expects Green party supporters to be avid users of solar power, but I saw only one

or two solar hot-water panels and no solar-electric arrays on any of the houses.

Even if they heed Capital Regional District watering restrictions, Green party voters should be keen water conservationists. I saw no evidence of rainwater recovery systems. Planted roofs? Didn’t see one.

The riding is characterized by aging, conventionally built, single-family homes on separate lots, normally kept tidy with highly polluting gas mowers and trimmers. If all this makes Gordon Head “the greenest neighbourhood” in Canada, our species is doomed for sure.

The past 12 years and the recent election have shown that the B.C. Liberals care little about facts, scientific evidence or the truth. In the face of this and as the only MLA for his party, Andrew Weaver may find, ironically, that his speeches in the legislature achieve little more than an incremental rise in global warming.

These are not your traditional ice cream flavours: Peppered goat’s milk with nutmeg and

candied orange, Mulberry and clove, Lemongrass coconut with Thai basil.

But then Cold Comfort is not your average ice cream company. Proprietor

Autumn Maxwell, who operates out of a corner of the back room at Lone Tree Bakery at 809 Craigflower Rd., looks at ice cream as a form of expression and love for food.

“Ice cream is a blank canvas and the flavours are the paint,” she says, after pouring a batch of dairy-free, salted caramel mixture into her commercial ice cream maker for freezing.

Maxwell creates new flavours almost every week – many include more traditional ingredients such as chocolate and quite a few include alcohol. She is up to 229 varieties on her website (coldcomfort.ca), which lists the ingredients for each.

“You never know what’s coming next,” she says. While she tries to

use primarily organic ingredients, “sometime you have to break the rules.”

She creates concoctions that appeal to people of every dietary need, from lactose intolerant to nut allergies. For dairy-free combinations, she often uses coconut milk, which can be frozen into a consistency similar to milk- or cream-based ice cream.

Having launched her wholesale business about two years ago, Maxwell sells to six local markets and a few restaurants. She also does a rousing business at the Moss Street Market.

When Lone Tree owner Terry Worland opened her retail outlet on Craigflower in December, she asked Maxwell if she’d like some space. The juxtaposition with an organic bakery works well and even results in the occasional compilation of ingredients, Maxwell says.

Having operated her wholesale business solo for the past two years, she plans to hire a new employee soon to help cover the summer busy season and give her more time to work on other activities.

“Unlike other small ice-cream makers, I survive the winters on the uniqueness of the product,” she says.

“A lot of people do have sales and they give back to the community or various groups in some ways,” said Lamb. “I encourage people to give back.”

From her experience last year, and at many other garage sales – “I could call myself the ‘garage lady,’” – Nijland has tips for others hoping to use their Garagellennium sale to raise money for a cause.

To raise as much money as possible, ask others involved with the fundraising and anyone else you know, to donate items to sell. Many people are willing to drop off all kinds of items when it’s for a good cause.

Organization is essential for making a garage sale open and inviting to customers. The easier the shopping for the customer, the more likely they are to buy something, Nijland said. So putting the books together with the spines easily visible is a good idea, as is spreading out tools for sale on a tarp.

“You pile things in categories. Knick-knacks with knick-knacks,” Nijland said. “It’s important to sort things out.”

Providing information about your cause also

helps customers know what their money will go toward – and perhaps entice them to spend a little more. Pamphlets or an informational poster are two ideas.

If you have volunteers, make sure they are well fed, protected from sun and rain and have the chance to take a break about every two hours or so, Nijland said.

Items that don’t sell can be donated or taken to second-hand stores, such as Value Village.

The deadline to register for Garagellennium is June 3. Registration is free and includes a signage kit, to be picked up at Oak Bay Copy Centre (2917A Cadboro Bay Rd.).

Board of directors decides to keep facility at its Moss Street location Christine van ReeuwykNews staff

A Victoria institution will root in its historic site on Moss Street, after three decades of seeking space downtown.

“We’ve been looking 33 years for a place downtown,” said Jon Tupper, director of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria. “If it didn’t happen in the last 30 years, it’s not going to happen in the next 10 years.”

Spencer Mansion was donated by Sarah Spencer in 1951. Today the site includes several adjacent galleries.

“It’s a beautiful building, and they have built on the modern additions, so what we need to do is build on that and make it better,” said Joan Huzar, member of the Associates of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, which promotes

and fundraises for the gallery. After a feasibility study,

architects said it would be unlikely to create the necessary space within the existing structure.

“If we had an extra 10,000 square feet we could stay here another 10 years and maybe longer,” Tupper said. “It’s a beautiful location. It’s unique – we’re in a residential

neighbourhood – it’s strange but strange in a positive way.”

The gallery at 1040 Moss St. is removed from the bustle of downtown, but the director, volunteers and Tourism Victoria don’t see location as a hindrance.

“The Art Gallery of Greater Victoria is one of Canada’s finest art museums,” said Holly Lenk, manager of travel media relations for Tourism Victoria. “Its location, just five minutes outside of downtown Victoria, is easily accessible and just a couple of blocks from Craigdarroch Castle.”

Besides, pedestrian traffic isn’t a consideration, Tupper said.

“When people leave their door or their hotel room they know exactly where they’re going,” he said. “They will look you up and they will find you.”

Tourists only make up 25 per cent of visitors to the gallery.

“We’re here for our local community first and foremost that’s our primary audience,” Tupper said. Space for more functions and programs would also generate revenue, he added. Currently the gallery is 40 per cent government funded.

“Right now we see government’s retreating more and more from being involved in culture … We have to fill that in,” Tupper said. “We have to be able to keep the doors open.”

With the decision to stay, last fall the gallery issued a request for proposals seeking architects who could add the required space, while maintaining the look of the neighbourhood.

“We’re not doing a good job of that,” Tupper said, citing the Moss Street side as an example. “It needs to be fixed up so it looks a little bit more like the neighbourhood … make it a real gem of a building … that’s in harmony with the place we’re situated.”

Barney Bentall and the Legendary Hearts hit the stage next month at the Mary Winspear Centre.

The show, presented by Rock.It Boy Entertainment and 100.3 the Q!, features the Vancouver-based Bentall, who has been creating music since 1978.

The band's debut album featured three songs, Something to Live For, House of Love (is Haunted) and Come Back to Me, that became instant hits and the six albums that followed were also

well-received. Their self- titled debut

reached platinum status in Canada and garnered a Juno Award for Most Promising Group of the Year in 1989.

In addition, the group was nominated for a Genie Award for Restless Dreamer in 1990.

The Sidney show includes special guest Nicola Linde, a powerful singer, songwriter and musician.

Her intense lyrics are delivered with big vocals. An artist with an edge, her perspective is definitely female. With a strong stance and assertive delivery, she has the energy and passion to stand

out from the crowd. With such songs as Cream

For Your Coffee, This Time and The Other Woman, Linde reveals her thoughts on being a young woman today in a way that transcends gender.

She gives forth on love gone wrong and jobs that didn’t go right, heartache, soul-searching and triumph with songs that are raw, confessional and emotional.

For more information, go to barneybentall.com. For tickets to the show ($37.50) on Wednesday, June 5 at 7 p.m. call 250-656-0275 or go [email protected]

MODERN DAY VETERANSNEED YOUR HELP!FOR A DIGNIFIED FUNERAL AND BURIAL


Travis PatersonNews staff

It’s the little things that make a big difference in cycling races.

There’s the smooth surfaces of painted crosswalks and manhole cov-ers on Yates Street, made brutally slick with a splash of rain. There’s the decision of when to time an escape attempt from the group.

And then there’s the weapon of choice.

Many of the elite cyclists competing in this weekend’s Robert Cameron Law Cycling Series fall into two groups: those with time trial bikes and those without.

Last year’s winner of the time trial, Rob Britton, a Victoria based pro, holds the vaunted distinc-tion of beating Ryder Hesjedal’s

time on the five-kilometre Rumble Time Trial.

But this year he’ll be without a time trial bike due to the logistics of his upcoming race season in England and Europe. TT bikes are

designed specifically for shorter courses and are more aerody-namic, he said.

“I certainly want to repeat as the time trial and overall win-ner this weekend, but it’s going to be tough. I don’t know if I can win the time trial on my road bike, but I’ll go for it,” he said.

The TT goes tonight on Dallas Road, the

first of the series’ three events. Saturday is the Westhills Cycling Classic in Metchosin, which dou-bles as the B.C. Road Cycling Championships. Sunday is the series’ flagship race, the Bastion Square Grand Prix, a 900-metre

criterium which connects Fort, Government, Yates and Wharf streets.

Last year Britton, who races for Team Raleigh, was first in the TT, second in the road race and fifth in the Grand Prix.

Crits aren’t generally his favou-rite, but Sunday’s Bastion Grand Prix is as rider friendly as they get in North America, he said.

“I raced in a crit that was 1.1 kilometres, with nine corners. It was pretty hairy, so I can’t com-plain about the Bastion Grand Prix, though it does have crash corner. You always have to be careful.”

Crashes have happened in many parts of the Grand Prix but the corner of Yates and Wharf is particularly dangerous. It’s also a great viewing spot for the race. Elite women start at noon, men at 1 p.m. Tonight’s time trial begins at 6 p.m. with the elite men and women going at 7:25 p.m.

Holly Henry’s experience at the inaugural Western High School Canadian Triathlon Championship was a chilly one.

The 14-year-old student of Mount Douglas secondary was first out of the water after the 500-metre swim in the super sprint division, the newly added high school event at the Subaru Shawnigan Lake Triathlon on Sun-day.

Henry looked in control as she remained in first after the 10-kilometre bike too, before she lost function in her fingers, and couldn’t transition fast enough from the bike to the four-km run.

“I had a really good swim and had a 45-second lead on the next girl after the bike but when I got to the (final) transition I couldn’t take my helmet off and put my shoes on because my fingers were frozen,” Henry said.

“I had to ask an official to help me take off my helmet.”

Because of the slow transition she dropped from first to fourth.

Among those who passed her were little sister Hannah, 13, who attends Arbutus middle school. Hannah finished second and Holly fourth.

“I was disappointed with the

result, but it was still really fun and I know with triathlons these things happen sometimes,” Holly said.

Cowichan Bay’s Desirae Ride-nour went on to win the girls super sprint, one of two divisions cre-ated for the Western High School championship. Hannah beat out third-place Abby Speirs of Stelly’s by a second.

The super sprint (500 m swim, 20 km bike and four km run) for students 14 and 15 years old is shorter than the sprint dis-tance (750 m swim, 20 km bike and five km run), for Grade 10 to 12 students, aged 16 to 19.

Graduating Spec-trum Community School student Meghan Kinghorn won the sprint and a $500 scholarship. Vancouver’s Carsten Lapointe was the top sprint male, and was an impressive fourth overall in the sprint category.

In the pro Half Ironman, multi-time winner and defending Shawni-gan Lake champ Adam O’Meara of Victoria was edged out by first-year pro Justin Birks of Penticton. Victoria’s Janet Nielson was the

second pro woman behind Lady-smith’s Tenille Hoogland.

With triathlon growing expo-nentially in recent years, it was the high schoolers who created a buzz around the event, particu-larly with the adult participants, who are supportive of the sport’s rise with the younger crowd.

“It was really fun to watch the youth prepare for their first triathlon and have their families here to cheer them on,” said race director Sarah Malerby.

Holly will be a favourite when she returns to the Shawni-gan Lake senior race next year. She won the 2012 B.C. Summer Games triathlon for 14 and 15 year olds and her passion for the sport is as high as ever.

“I’ve been doing triathlons since I was eight years old and

I’ve haven’t gotten bored of them yet. I’m looking forward to racing in the junior elite level next year because the distances become longer and it’s more competitive,” she said.

This week Holly is representing

Mount Doug at the track and field provincial championships, com-peting above her bantam age level in the senior girls steeplechase.

“What’s starting to happen is high school triathlon clubs are popping up across the coun-try,” said Subaru Tri Series race organizer Paul Regensburg, who

helped create the high school tri-athlon event at Shawnigan Lake.

“This gives those clubs a goal event for the school year.

“There aren’t a lot of triathlons during the school season. The vision is to have 100 schools par-ticipating.”

Leigh Mueller is getting back in the ring Friday night, this time for a world title belt.

The 31-year-old kickboxer and karate instructor at Canada’s Best Karate has been prize fight-ing for most of his adulthood, and this is his first time contest-ing for the World International Sport Kickboxing Association super welterweight title.

Mueller faces Kalon Milne in the headliner of Friday night’s (May 31) Hurricane Fight League kickboxing event in the curling rink at Archie Browning Sports Centre in Esquimalt.

The Hurricane Fight League is a local promotion with a handful of events to its name and with an

emphasis on kickboxing. “I’m expecting the fight of my

life and expect it to be tough, but I’m ready and I’m excited,” Mueller said.

Mueller has previously held the B.C. International Kickbox-ing Federation title and is a regu-lar on the Victoria fight scene.

His top kickboxing student, Suraj Bangarh, will also fight for a World ISKA belt, against Kayne Young from New Zealand in the super lightweight category.

“(Bangarh’s) title fight is in the middle of the event, the sev-enth of 14 fights, so Bangarh and Mueller can be each oth-er’s cornermen,” said event co-organizer Kieran Mueller, Leigh’s younger brother.

“It works out well with a title fight at the midpoint of the eve-

ning,” Kieran added.Karate is a family affair for the

Mueller brothers, whose dad Bob earned his black belt with former world champ and local promoter and instructor Stan Peterec, a family friend.

Kieran expects between 500 to 700 people to show up.

“Whenever we put on a show it’s a clean event, a fun family event. We have a lot of talented fighters and it should be a great night.”

Two more local titles will be on the line. Tyler Nicholson ver-sus James Sebunyana for the Hurricane Fight League super lightweight belt and Bryan Col-well versus Tony Patterson for the HFL cruiserweight title.

It is with broken hearts filled by sorrow that we say goodbye to our beloved Johnnie.

On May 23, 2013, John Thomas Harper passed away with the love of his family surrounding him. John leaves behind his

beloved wife, Vlasta; his son Stafford (Tracy); his daughters Theresa and Cynthia and grandson Oscar; his sister Susan Lindsay and brother Glen Harper along with his nieces, nephew and their families.

If you were fortunate enough to have known Johnnie then you will know that today the world has lost a special person not just for those who were close to him, having owned and operated the Esquire Barbershop for over 40 years, John was a trusted friend and confidant to many. Anyone lucky enough to have made his acquaintance will recognize that he was a man with a generous heart and his kindness was limitless.

You will always be on our minds and forever in our hearts. There will be no service by request, a private service for family will be held at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the BC Cancer Foundation. Condolences may be offered to the family at www.mccallbros.com.

JOHN THOMAS HARPER - August 1, 1942 - May 23, 2013

CRD traffic commission focuses on crotches

The Capital Regional District is targeting drivers who con-tinue to use phones while driv-ing with a new eyebrow-raising public awareness campaign.

‘Crotches Kill’ is the brain-child of the CRD Traffic Safety Commission, targeting drivers who leave phones on their laps in an attempt to evade police officers.

“Everyone who sees you looking at your crotch knows exactly what you’re doing, and it’s stupidly dangerous,” said Staff Sgt. Frank Wright, head

of the Integrated Road Safety Unit.

The campaign, which includes TV and radio ads, urges crotch-texting drivers to “wise up, and eyes up,” and to put phones and tablets out of reach before driving.

Power to Be raises $101K at Elk Lake

Power To Be Adven-ture Therapy Society raised $101,000 for its programs through a corporate adventure race last weekend at Elk/Bea-ver Lake.

Thirty-one corporate teams participated in physical and mental challenges.

The money will support nature-based programs for local youth and families living with disabilities.

Walkers stride for grandmothers

The rhythm of African singing and drumming will reverberate through Centennial Square as grandmothers and others set out to stride two to five kilome-tres along downtown streets on Saturday, (June 8). Walkers will wear colourful African scarves and kangas to show solidarity for the grandmothers of Africa who walk every day out of necessity.

Anyone wishing to join or sponsor a walker may do so by visiting cause2give.unxvision.com.

Registration is at 9:30 a.m. and the walk begins at 10:30. The registration cost of $15 includes an African scarf.

For more information contact Nelly Woodsworth at [email protected].
