With spring weather underway, Oak Bay firefighters have upped their patrols to douse any beach fires they spot.
So far, so good.But in a matter of weeks Oak Bay firefighters will be
bracing for beach fire season, which fires up in May and continues through the hot, dry summer months of July and August.
Youth are sometimes, but not always, to blame for starting fires on Oak Bay’s beaches, in violation of the district’s year-round open-burning ban, which includes beach fires, said Oak Bay Deputy Fire Chief Dave Cockle.
“It’s very difficult to manage and control a fire on the
beaches,” he warned. “Once we get a couple weeks of very, very dry weather, there is a good risk to spread up into the foreshore and onto the private property.”
The Oak Bay Fire Department was belatedly con-tacted in recent weeks by a resident about three beach fires in the King George Terrace area over Christmas. Boards were stripped from a resident’s boat house and thrown on the fire.
“It ends up with peo-ple’s private lawn furni-ture getting thrown into the fire in order to get them started,” Cockle said. “People tend to, after they’ve had a few drinks, wander up through people’s properties and there’s damage done.”
One of the challenges in fighting a beach fire is get-ting to it quickly with the appropriate equipment. These blazes also take up considerable firefighting resources.
“It takes a truck out of service for a period of time
while you’re dealing with a beach fire, and if you have another incident then you’ve got Victoria or Saanich on standby,” Cockle said.
Oak Bay firefighters take a proac-tive approach to educating the public about the district’s ban.
Fire prevention officer Capt. Ken Gill will speak to Oak Bay High Grade 12 students in May about the risks of setting beach fires, among other safety issues. The class visit coincides with grad party season.
The team of firefighters also conducts patrols, from May to September.
“What we do with our crews from May through Sep-tember is they’ll go out at about 11 o’clock at night and we’ll drive along the beaches and the shores to make sure there are no fires, and if there are, then we put them out,” Cockle said. “We’ve spotted lots.”

In 1912, Florence French and her veterinarian husband moved to Oak Bay from Montreal.
They had their car, a 1912 Detroit Electric, deliv-ered by train.
“She used the car to drive to the Empress hotel for tea for 37 years,” said Cam Rawlinson, founding member of the Island’s chapter of the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association.
It was most likely the first electric vehicle
in the region.This year marks the car’s 100th birthday, and
the Vancouver Electric Vehicle Association hopes to bring it back home to mark its anniversary year, from Aug. 1 to Aug. 18.
The association owns the car, but it resides at the B.C. Hydro Museum at Stave Falls near Mission.

The pungent odour of sewage that wafted through Cordova Bay last week was the only notification residents had that a large underground pipe had burst nearby.
The PVC pipe, roughly 4.5 metres under-ground, was found broken around 9:30 a.m., March 21 – much to the surprise of Saan-ich’s engineering department.
“The main was just beyond 30 years old. We would still expect that to have a lot of useful life left in it,” said Colin Doyle, direc-tor of engineering.
The break came to Saanich’s attention when an engineering employee arrived on site to do maintenance and saw “the water start to boil out of the ground,” according to manager of public works, Mike Ippen.
Crews worked until 4 a.m. the next day to repair and replace the ruptured pipe, a few metres west of the Haliburton pump sta-tion, on Halburton Road at Lochside Drive.
“Everything is now back in operation and functioning,” Doyle said last Thursday.
An investigation will examine what caused the 16-inch-diameter pipe to break.
No homeowners lost service. Trucks were brought in to collect the flowing efflu-ent and shuttle it to a functioning pump sta-tion elsewhere.
One neighbour, who asked not to be named, said she was upset Saanich didn’t notify residents about the spill, as well as that the effluent leaked down to the beach.
“They forgot about us. … We are impor-tant. We are your taxpayers here,” she said. “Why didn’t they send a volunteer to knock on doors, or put things on doors. There are ways of communicating.”
Doyle said there is no formal notification process when engineering is out making
emergency repairs.“We usually don’t go out and do a notice
when we’re trying to repair something urgently,” he said.
Ippen said most of the estimated 30,000 litres of sewage that leaked ended up in nearby storm drains, and flowed out into
Cordova Bay. Very little sewage, he said, leaked onto the land near the beach. Signs were posted warning beach-users about the spill.
Vancouver Island Health Authority spokesperson Shannon Marshall says envi-ronmental health officers monitored the sit-uation, and the beach was reopened Tues-day (March 27) after tests for fecal coliform came back below unsafe levels.
“The beach area affected is not a public beach. … Our EHO assessment indicates that the contaminated beach area is well marked with yellow tape and advisory signs,” Marshall wrote in an email.
A spokesperson with the provincial Min-istry of Environment’s environmental emer-gency program says they are monitoring Saanich’s cleanup and mitigation efforts.
Saanich’s manager of environmental ser-vices could not be reached for comment.
“We don’t know whether we can use this beach for the summer. Will we have to wait a week? A month? What has happened to the little otters? What has happened to the seals? What’s happened to the birds?” the Cordova Bay resident said.
“There’s all sorts of different ways to give information (to residents), none of which were done. If there isn’t a procedure’s manual, there should be one written pretty soon,” she added.
The replacement pipe was installed and buried last week. The cost of the incident is still unknown.

An Oak Bay family is breathing a sigh of relief after an unfortunate mix-up was set straight on the weekend. A bag containing family treasures, mistakenly taken from outside a Monterey Avenue home on March 15, was returned.
The Wright family contacted the Oak Bay News when the bag of amateur paintings and a four-generations-old silver-plated chatelaine disappeared from the
boulevard outside the residence. They believed that its proximity to other items being given away meant it was picked up by mistake rather than stolen. Shortly after the story ran in the Oak Bay News, the items were returned.
Kevin Wright, whose mother owns the heirlooms, thanked the “honest soul” who promptly returned them.
“We’re thrilled to have the family connection restored,” he said.

She had barely put on her gar-dening gloves when Renfrew Road resident Jackie Powell saw something she’d never seen.
“Two boys took a whiz right on the street between parked cars,” she said.
The youth were part of a crowd of 150 that started gathering around noon at a nearby rented house on St. Patrick’s Day. Powell
watched as both men and women, some carrying open liquor, uri-nated in neighbours’ yards and in the street. But she hesitated before calling police.
“I asked myself, ‘Am I being unreasonable? After all they’re just students and they haven’t had a big party in a long time.’ But then I thought, ‘No, this isn’t appropri-ate, this is really wrong.’”
Two Oak Bay police officers did arrive, but it took five hours to break up the gathering. Police were also dealing at the time with other parties in the 2700-block of Cadboro Bay Rd. and on Hender-son Road.
Many liquor act tickets were issued and the Renfrew Road renter was warned of a $100
fine for the “all but out of con-trol” party, a police news release stated.
Daytime parties are a rarity in Oak Bay, Oak Bay Police deputy chief Kent Thom said, but attrib-uted them to St Patrick’s Day fall-ing on a sunny Saturday.
“It seemed like the party mood was starting much earlier in the day than normal in other loca-tions as well,” he said, noting large groups of youth were also roaming about in downtown Vic-toria.
Powell has written a letter to Oak Bay council asking fines be increased to $5,000 from $100 for homeowners whose renters have raucous parties.

Neighbours united last year over the proposed redevelop-ment of Oak Bay Lodge came together again Tuesday night (March 27) for the founding meeting of the Hampshire Hill Neighbourhood Association.
About 40 people who live in the vicinity of Hampshire Hill – the site of Oak Bay Lodge, located at the junction of Cad-boro Bay Road and Christie Way – met at Oak Bay High to share
ideas and concerns.“The thing that gave rise to
the neighbourhood association was the redevelopment of Oak Bay Lodge, but what’s come out … is that traffic and pedestrian safety are high on everyone’s list of concerns,” said Michael Hayes, Hampshire Hill spokes-person.
In addition to Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment, residents spoke to Oak Bay’s need for a formal traf-fic strategy – an issue Hayes says the neighbourhood association is prepared to take on.
The Hampshire Hill Neigh-bourhood Association currently consists of a steering commit-tee, to which Hayes belongs, and an email network of about
120 residents. The group plans to expand its contacts and become a conduit between developers, council and com-munity groups before embark-ing on the formal process of cre-ating a constitution and bylaws for the association.
“Our goal is to get the neigh-bourhood con-nected, both to itself and to coun-cil,” Hayes said. “There seems to be a lot of inter-est and engage-ment in how neighbourhoods
connect to development pro-cesses, to traffic and commu-nity issues.”

Visitors to Oak Bay Rec’s Bee Street Sports-view lounge can sip their beers by candlelight this Saturday night.
Electric lighting will be shut off during Earth Hour, from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, March
31. Lights will be dimmed but not shut off in the aquatic centre.
At Oak Bay firehall the five firefighters on duty will shut off all unnecessary lights
“We do keep one apparatus floor light on, enough so you can see,” said Fire Chief Gerry Adam.
In 2011 more than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries switched off their lights for Earth Hour. The five-year-old lights-out campaign was founded and is organized by Sidney, Australia-based Earth Hour Global which advocates for climate change action.
Hit the lights and cozy up with candles
“Our goal is to get the neighbourhood connected, both to itself and to council.”

With childhood obesity on the rise, health professionals and researchers alike are seeking ways to ensure the next genera-tion grows up healthy.
David Trill, a master’s candi-date in the school of exercise sci-ence, physical and health educa-tion at the University of Victoria, is studying child health through healthy eating activities. He’s currently seeking participants to get his home-based research project off the ground.
“There’s been a lot of school-based research, but it’s working up to a certain point,” Trill said. “My approach is to try healthy eating strategies through the families because it’s the parents who are the gatekeepers for the kids.”
Trill would like the help of 98 family units consisting of one parent and one child between the age of 11 and 13 years old. (Larger families may partici-pate, though data will only be recorded from one parent and one child per family.) The goal of the project, slated for a late-April start, is to teach simple, healthy nutritional strategies, such as cooking together, that both parents and children can take part in. It will require com-pleting about 10 to 12 hours of activities during its eight-week duration.
“I’m engaged in the research world. I’m also a very slight
cooking aficionado,” said Trill, an endurance athlete, who has long seen food as a means of bet-tering physical performance.
“I think a fantastic way to cope (with) and prevent (ailments and illness) is through enhanced nutritional diet, and that comes with a better nutritional under-
standing and a bit of passion about food. It’s something that we all have to do everyday, three times a day.”
For more information, or to participate in the study, contact Trill at 250-853-3141 or [email protected].

2009 WINNER
It took four visits, but I finally figured out what Portland has that the rest of the Pacific Northwest lacks.
It’s a sense of humour.Victoria, Vancouver,
Seattle and Portland all share West Coast sensibilities, climate and inclinations.
The Oregon city, though, is the only one that makes us smile.
The city’s unofficial slogan is ‘Keep Portland Weird’ and boy, do residents work hard at keeping it that way.
I couldn’t find a motto for Greater Victoria, but I’m sure it’s not along the same lines. Nor do I think we’ll see any of the local mayors posing, as did former Portland mayor Bud Clark, wearing only a raincoat and flashing a statue for a poster that read Expose Yourself to Art.
Not that long ago, Victoria council was arguing about whether or not it was okay to have more than two restaurants open after the bars closed, as though being able to eat after 2 a.m. was somehow a problem.
The recent decision by Oak Bay council to not support the annual palm tree sale shows a total lack of a funny bone. If council was smart they would have voted to keep the sale and planted the entire length of Oak Bay Avenue with palm trees.
Here are a couple of events I came across on my trek to our southern neighbour that I think illustrate my point that Portland is just far more, uh, let’s say fun-
oriented than the rest of us.The Urban Iditarod was in
progress on a recent Saturday afternoon. This race, very loosely based on the Alaskan dog sled competition, sees teams pull decorated shopping carts along city streets and over the city’s many bridges, with frequent stops for liquid refreshments. I saw teams of pirates, doctors, cartoon figures and even penises, yes, penises.
I asked the relaxed young police officer
sitting in his car watching the hoopla if the event was official. He said no, though he thought they could easily get a permit if they asked. He was just hoping that nobody would get hurt over the next few hours until he was off shift and could let someone else take care of the racers.
Most Portland drinking and eating establishments offer a Happy Hour with drink and food specials. My family and I enjoyed the views from the 30th floor of the Portland City Grill so much we missed taking in a performance of the Portland Cello Project at the Wonder Ballroom. The orchestra of cellists puts on concerts that often feature surprising choices. We missed seeing the group perform heavy metal band Pantera’s songs from their album, Vulgar Display of Power.
Lest you think that the cellists are a one-time joke act, they have upcoming concerts listed for
Minnesota, Kentucky and California. In the past they have performed concerts playing everything from classical to rap music.
Walking the streets you come across the Benson Bubblers – drinking fountains installed around 1912 – famous quotes inlaid in sidewalks and odd sculptures placed throughout the city.
Another night we stopped at the Rogue Distillery and Public House and my son left with a bottle of maple and bacon beer, inspired by Voodoo Doughnuts, a shop that is open 24 hours a day, accepts only cash and always seems to have a lineup out the door. Their maple bar is a maple-frosted doughnut with real bacon on top.
Last March, we watched as thousands of entrants took part in the annual Shamrock Run. What struck us was how many of the racers, including many of the serious runners, were dressed up in green wigs and more.
We hope to get back to Portland soon and take in some more of the Rose City’s finer and funnier events.
We’d like to check out the 24-Hour Church of Elvis (if the latest incarnation stays open), maybe take in an episode of the Pedal Powered Talk Show. But as much as we wished we could, we can no longer check out Velveteria, the Museum of Velvet paintings, as it closed in 2010.
Maybe someone could open a spinoff here? Velvet Victoria anyone?

Don’t try tobe like Jack
After Jack Layton died, everyone knew that whoever replaced him as federal leader of the NDP would have giant shoes to fill.
Layton’s talent for uniting the party and reaching out to people across the country made him a sort of folk legend, even before cancer stole him too soon at age 61.
Newly selected NDP leader Thomas Mulcair, the 57-year-old Quebecer who helped Layton transform the party from a virtual non-entity in that province to a substantial force, taking 58 of 75 seats in last year’s election, is clearly a leader of some repute.
What is also clear is he doesn’t have the charisma Layton had, and developed, as the Orange crush flattened the Liberal red machine to become the official Opposition to Stephen Harper’s Conservative majority in May 2011.
Mulcair, who was not the first choice as leader for Capital Region MPs Denise Savoie (Victoria) and Randall Garrison (Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca) until the final ballot at the recent convention, has been a virtual unknown on the West Coast – unlike Layton – for all except diehard political watchers.
But does a leader known for being prickly have to be the second coming of Layton to win the hearts and minds of people west of Thunder Bay? Harper has shown that a leader can come across to many as cold and calculating, yet still win a majority in parliament.
Let’s remember that even under Layton, the NDP won just 15 of 77 seats in the western provinces, including 12 in B.C.
To win over non-NDP voters, it’ll take more than criss-crossing the country connecting with people, as Layton famously did – he visited Victoria more often than we might have expected for a Toronto MP.
Mulcair will be put under the microscope about everything from his policies to his personality, by his supporters and critics alike, in the three years leading to the next election.
In that time, he must prove he is his own person, a leader who stands on his own feet. And he must avoid handlers who would try to make him a kindler, gentler version of himself.

Generate other revenue sources for infrastructure
There are other alternatives to revenue generation than the traditional property taxes and hiking the gas tax dedicated for improving transit. We do not need to rely just on traditional means of revenue generation towards funding the requisite transit infrastructure to serve Greater Victoria over the next 25 years.
At present, as reported, B.C. Transit is seeking approval of a $106-million budget for Greater Victoria bus service rather than imposing a property tax hike of anywhere up to 10 per cent.
Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin would like to see a three-per-cent gas tax increase to allow Victoria to gather a reserve fund to pay for transit infrastructure.
Meantime, Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard calls such a tax increase extremely premature.
The problem is this debate
epitomizes the approach of reliance on only traditional revenue sources.
We need to start thinking outside of the box. For instance, in the Lower Mainland there are suggestions to tolling the George Massey Tunnel and other crossings to pay for requisite transit infrastructure. That possibility could be made reality if Metro Vancouver and the province support the suggestions in a recent TransLink report examining potential revenue streams, including tolling major bridges and the tunnel.
The report, “Evaluation of Revenue Sources to Support Transportation Improvements in Metro Vancouver,” looked at a wide range of new funding options, including tolls on existing crossings over the Fraser River, that would include the Alex Fraser Bridge and George Massey Tunnel. A special committee comprising the
Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, TransLink, and the cities of Vancouver and Surrey, is also looking at such options.
We could apply this approach to the Greater Victoria area with tolls on two major bridge projects: the Blue Bridge replacement and the Craigflower Bridge. For both, this would encourage greater transit usage while creating a sustainable revenue source.

Man is nature’s guest, learn to live with it
Long before the dawn of man, our planet was sojourned by many different species, all living within nature under a law delineated as The Circle of Life – life feeds on life.
The intricate mechanics of nature’s ontogenesis is inconceivably marvelous; all
species co-existing together within its ethereal system; life and death both contributing to its surreal architecture.
Ever since humanity’s exordium into nature’s prodigious framework, we have done nothing but attempt to mutilate it: clear-cutting inhabited forests, building cities, creating pollution and oceanic oil spills, etc. Now we have so selfishly come to a point where a deer walks through our backyard or gets hit by a car and we devise a plan to impede their reproduction and disrupt nature’s evolutionary process.
The only reason deer are in our municipality is because we sabotaged their home to build ours. Deer do not understand the difference between a natural food source and a commercial crop; they are trying to survive within the dysfunctional environment that our genus has fabricated.
Through my window into the backyard I see birds singing and
squirrels leaping from tree to tree; they are inferior to our race just as the deer are, should we get rid of them as well? Please let nature be nature; it’s never done any wrong unto us other than let us exist with it.

OPINION
Is the world getting nuttier? Looking at recent events in North America, it’s hard not to conclude that humanity is taking a crazy step backwards. I recall a time when science and scientists were taken seriously, but lately they’ve been getting knocked around, especially in the U.S. and Canada.
The State of Tennessee, for example, passed a law that allows teachers who don’t believe in evolution or human-caused climate change to challenge existing scientific theories. Yes, students should be encouraged to think critically and to question everything they are taught but, given the current political climate in the U.S., this is likely to lead to misinformation. In the 1920s, a Tennessee school
teacher was tried, convicted, and fined for teaching evolution.
Meanwhile, candidates vying for the Republican presidential nomination reject the overwhelming scientific evidence for human-caused climate change.
Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich once held rational positions
but have since capitulated to the fossil fuel lobby. Rick Santorum just seems out of touch on every issue, from rights for women and gays to the environment. He’s referred to climate change as a “hoax” and once said, “We were put on this Earth as creatures of God to have dominion over the Earth, to use it wisely and steward it wisely, but for our benefit not for the Earth’s …”
Some of these people put their misguided beliefs above rational thought. Republican senator James Inhofe, one of the more vocal and active climate change deniers in U.S. politics, recently said, “God’s still up there. The arrogance of people to think that we, human beings, would be able to change what He is doing in the climate is to me outrageous.”
That statement is in keeping with the Cornwall Alliance’s Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming, which has been signed by a range of religious leaders, media people, and even some who work in climate science, such as Roy Spencer, David Legates, and Ross McKitrick. It says, in part, “We believe Earth and its ecosystems – created by God’s intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by His faithful providence – are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably
suited for human flourishing, and displaying His glory. Earth’s climate system is no exception.” It also states that reducing atmospheric carbon dioxide and fossil fuel use will “greatly increase the price of energy and harm economies.”
The economy matters more than the environment, and God won’t let puny humans damage “His” 6,000-year-old creation anyway. That’s not to criticize religion; only those who let it blind them to science and who would use it to advance agendas that don’t even reflect the spirit of their own traditions.
Lest we get too smug in Canada, we must remember that we have politicians who hold similar religious views and are just as anti-science, although Canada has so far managed to keep religion largely out of politics. But recent cutbacks to government scientific research
and staff show that many of our leaders also believe that the environment should take a back seat to corporate interests, and that any science that gets in the way must be hushed up or discredited.
Never mind that the environment is real and that we depend on it for survival and that the economy is a human invention that can be altered to suit the times. Never mind that a long-term healthy economy depends on a healthy environment and that placing all our bets on non-renewable and polluting fuels is folly. These people want to ignore both the problems and the solutions for the sake of short-term and short-sighted benefits for a relatively small number of people.
Whether they justify it with religion or political ideology, it still doesn’t make sense.

He’s read the news on the BBC and goose-stepped with John Cleese, yet Brian Jack-son is most familiar to Victoria residents as the symphony’s principal pops conductor.
After 17 years though, Jackson, 68, is retiring. This weekend he will conduct his last three performances as PPC.
With the Canadian College of Performing Arts he will conduct the troupe through 45 minutes of Broadway song and dance medleys.
“You’re getting a theatrical experience for a symphonic price,” says Jackson. It’s the fourth time he’s collaborated with the Oak Bay-based college, a group of performers he describes as wonderful. “They’re young but respectful and professional.”
Victoria is a long way from Jackson’s Ontario home, but even further from where he grew up in Cornwall, England. From a working class family, Jackson says at age two he sang along with the radio and was picking out tunes on an aunt’s piano. By five he was taking piano lessons and by age 13 was off to Clifton College in Bristol on a music scholarship where he learned to con-duct and play the organ.
At Clifton he also met John Cleese. Although Cleese was four years older, the actor who went on to Monty Python fame picked out Jackson to work alongside him in an outdoor play.
“He was the platoon sergeant and that’s where he got that walk – he was 6’4” even at that time,” Jackson recalled.
Cleese went on to Cambridge and Jack-son to Oxford to read music. At 21, he took a break from music and to work at the BBC as a studio manager. But music called.
“On the other side of the glass the BBC symphony would be recording and I would be telling the conductor ‘the brasses are too loud here, are you sure you mean this tempo?’”
Adventure also then called and he emi-grated to Canada in 1968, ending up in Peterborough, Ont. as a church organist.
After six months, he was conducting the Peterborough Symphony. He was 25.
Four years later he took time to study in Germany and Vienna before heading to the London, Ontario symphony where he conducted for 36 years. In 1995 Jackson stepped in as choral society conductor with the Victoria Symphony Orchestra and in turn became principal pops conductor.
“I knew by age 45 I was not going to the Berlin Philharmonic, I knew I wasn’t at that level, so I created my own sort of genre:
pop concerts.” And although Jackson will conduct the
opening set of pop concerts next season, the series will have a facelift, VSO’s execu-tive director says.
In a bid to attract younger audiences the pop series will include a Beatles Sgt. Pepper tribute, says Mitchell Krieger.
Guest conductor Sean O’Loughlin will step behind the music stand as well as maestra Tania Miller, who will conduct the Christmas concert.
Jackson will continue to conduct London, Sudbury and Kitchener/Waterloo sympho-nies, but he will miss the VSO. “It’s now one of the top orchestras in the country – they’re disciplined and they love what they’re doing.”

He’s standing in the streetlight as the fog clears, his face hidden between his hat and the upturned collar of
his trench coat. He’s here to dance with a dame. She steps out from the shadows and …
Paper Street Theatre is producing its third full-length show, An Improvised Film Noir where the audience – and actors – will find out what happens between the man in the trenchcoat and a mysterious dame.
Directed by Pick of the Fringe’s Dave Morris, the show is more an homage to the film genre than a parody of the tropes, he said.
“Often film noir is improvised as parody – but that’s not what we’re doing,” said Morris. “We
want to recreate what makes film noirs so great – the witty banter, the value of the intellect and the
grey morality of the post-war world.”Led by Morris, who works with
The Canadian Improv Games as an associate artistic director nationally and a regional director locally, the cast includes local improvisers Missie Peters, Chris Gabel, Scott Thompson and Byron Kjeldsen.
See An Improvised Film Noir on March 30 and 31 at Intrepid Theatre, 1609 Blanshard St.
The show is at 8 p.m. and tickets, $12, are available at the door.

Improv gets hardboiled
Philomela Women’s Choir satisfies with glorious food
Sink your teeth into a concert of choral reper-toire throughout the ages on the topic of food with the University of Victoria Philomela Women’s Choir led by Mary Ken-nedy.
From the renaissance round, Hey, Ho, Nobody’s at Home to Bar-tok’s Bread Baking, to a commis-sioned suite of children’s songs about food by composer Ben Bolden, to familiar jazz pieces Java Jive and Chili Con Carne, Food Glorious Food is set to make your mouth water.
Special guest Louise Rose will accompany the choir in a commis-sioned arrangement of the spiri-tual I'm gonna sit at the welcome table. Rose, who received an hon-orary doctorate from UVic in 2000, has been a friend and mentor of Kennedy for many years.
The concert will also offer an opportunity for the audience to join with the singers in a trio of popular songs about food.
“We can't divulge the titles,” says Kennedy.
“You'll just have to buy a ticket to find out.” Of special note at this concert will be the addi-
tion of a group of male choristers who will join with the women in the Cham-pagne Chorus from Die Feldermaus.
Audience members are encour-aged to bring donations of non-per-ishable food to the concert, which is a fundraiser for Our Place.
Don Evans, Our Place executive director, will be on hand to speak about the work of the society and receive tax-deductible monetary donations.
To further support the work of Our Place, there will be a raffle for a sushi-making workshop hosted by chef Takumi Kitamura.
The concert takes place on April 1 at 2:30 p.m. in the Phillip T. Young
Recital Hall in the music wing of the MacLaurin Building at the university. Tickets, $12 in advance or $15 at the door, are available through the Uni-versity Centre Box Office by phone, 250-721-8480 or online at auditorium.uvic.ca/tickets.

Philanthropy The Victoria Foundation & Black Press
Giving wing to art’s power for learning, healing, connectingBy Sarah MonteithFor Patrick Smith, artistic director and co-
founder of the Ptarmigan Music and Theatre Society, the arts are an essential link for building connection and vitality in communities.
“I believe the arts reflect the very best of the soul of humanity,” he said.
Smith, a professional musician and formerly a member of the Vancouver folk group Under The Moss, formed the Ptarmigan Society charity with band mate John McLachlan in 1991. Since then, the society has developed free or low-cost and accessible art programs and recitals that aim to engage, innovate, educate and promote healing in communities throughout Vancouver Island and in Vancouver.
The society currently runs three core pro-grams; Mosaic for children and youth, Taking Flight for seniors, and Strength Within for peo-ple with disabilities and survivors of illness. Over the past decade, the Victoria Foundation has provided close to $25,000 for Ptarmigan pro-grams on southern Vancouver Island.
Mosaic: a medley of art for children and youth
Mosaic organizes a variety of visual art work-shops and musical and theatrical performances. It also fosters creative mentorships for children
and youth living on the southern Gulf Islands. The goal has been to give students living in these small, isolated communities the opportunity to socialize and learn about their local history through different art mediums. Since its concep-tion in 2007, Ptarmigan has conducted 2,000 hours of workshops, recruited 43 local artists, and has involved 800 children in Mosaic events.
Bryce Woollcombe, a teacher on Pender Island, credits the Ptarmigan Society for sustaining the performing arts on the island amid the increas-ing decline in arts funding for schools and says some children have been inspired to pursue a career in the arts as a result of the society’s men-torships.
“Having the expertise, the time, the instru-ments and the moxie to just do community arts is essential. Ptarmigan does this with thoughtful, artful, stubborn patience.”
Taking Flight: soars with seniorsPtarmigan’s Taking Flight program brings
vocal and instrumental recitals to seniors liv-ing in Victoria and the Gulf Islands, with the objective of having a positive impact on quality of life. All performances are planned with the consultation of the care facilities, therapists and activity coordinators. For many seniors, live per-formances are inaccessible due to their financial
or physical limitations. For Smith, this is a good reason why this program exists.
“We wanted to take our programs right to the communities where people could have a hands-on experience with artistic engagement.”
Harpist Alison Vardy, who is also Ptarmigan’s program coordinator, has performed at seniors care homes and the Victoria Hospice and said patients and their families are appreciative of the atmosphere created by her music.
“The feedback I get is how relaxing and sooth-ing the harp music is,” she said. “I always get thanked – and once I got a kiss from a woman whose husband was a [hospice] patient!”
Strength Within: tapping the healing power of the arts
The Strength Within program focuses on pro-viding members of the special needs commu-nity with ways to experience positive interactions through workshops and music events in hopes of encouraging social engagement, creativity, and self esteem. Activities span a range of art forms, from music to drama, to visual arts to dance, giv-ing participants – such as survivors of childhood cancer – the opportunity to express their expe-riences and connect with others who’ve shared similar trauma.
For more information on programs, events,
or how to get involved with the Ptarmigan Soci-ety, see http://ptarmigansociety.org/contact/. For more information about the Victoria Founda-tion, see www.victoriafoundation.ca.

Rink of Dreams 24-hour game goes Saturday to SundayTravis PatersonNews staff
At first look, the Rink of Dreams 24-hour charity hockey game is a lot of things.
It’s a minimum of four dressing rooms in constant rotation, an hourly exchange as hundreds of players, 15 at a time, populate the home and away benches of Bear Mountain Arena from noon on Saturday (March 31) to noon Sunday.
It’s Marty the Marmot refereeing four- to six-year-old kids.
It’s 39 other mascots battling for the attention of kids and parents off the ice.
“More than anything it’s family, family, family,” said lead organizer
Harp Sandhu. “We want people to know just how much there is to do, there’s so much to check out and hang around, it’s basically a hockey carnival atmosphere Saturday after-noon and evening. It’s really just using hockey as an excuse to bring families together for a fun charity event.”
Outside is a Telus Kinnect tent, mini cars for kids and plenty of games. There’s also a bar in the arena with Hockey Night in Canada on TV.
“But best of all is a ton of awe-some prizes with 200 balloons at $5 each, and all prizes are a minimum $10 value,” Sandhu said.
One balloon that will be heav-ily sought after has two Vancouver Canucks tickets to the April 8 home game with Helijet passes and a room at the Four Seasons hotel.
“We also have a chuck-a-puck at 4 p.m. Saturday to win Canucks tickets, B.C. Ferries passes and a $100 dinner card for April 8.”
Calgary Flames fans can bid on a signed Mike Cammaleri jersey in the silent auction.
The hockey part of it is straight forward.
Players, sometimes in teams and sometimes individually, show up prior to their ice slot, be it 2 p.m. or 2 a.m. They gear up, and slip on either a Team Grey or Team Blue sweater. The 2012 version of the sweater, made by Teamworks, has a fresher design and with new sponsors from the 2011 black versus white uni’s.
The game wraps up at noon on Sunday with closing ceremonies. The inaugural Rink of Dreams raised $104,000 in 2011 for the Victoria-based Help Fill A Dream Foundation.
Last minute player, and even team spots are still available through Rinkofdreamsvictoria.com or through Sandhu at [email protected].

The future looks bright for women’s field hockey in Victoria.
Three members of Canada’s under-21 team and four more on the under-17 team are playing in the Canada vs. U.S.A. Challenge in Vancouver, April 4 to 8.
Defender Kathleen Leahy of the University of Victoria Vikes (Oak Bay High), midfielder Paige Norris of the Boston College Eagles (Mount Doug-las) and midfielder Maddie Secco of Oak Bay High will represent the South Island on Canada’s U21 squad against U.S.A.’s under-19 team in the four-match series.
Still in Grade 12, Secco is the only Victoria ath-lete currently rostered with the national women’s senior team. Leahy will play her first major game since recovering from ACL surgery this year.
Canada is also entering an under-17 team led by Vikes assistant coach Krista Thompson. That team features Jenna Dhillon of St. Michaels University School, Elspeth McGillivray of Glenlyon Norfolk School, Gillian Kirkpatrick of Oak Bay High and Kristina Walters-Shumka of Claremont.
The Canada vs. U.S.A. Challenge junior national test series is a warm-up for the Junior Pan Ameri-can Championships in September.

Maddie Secco at the recent Olympic qualifier in New Delhi.
Despite winning mul-tiple trophies in recent years, Canada has attended only half of the IRB World Series rugby sevens events since los-ing “core status” in 2009.
That changed on the week-end when Can-ada, based out of the West Shore, finished first in a quali-fier tournament that the Inter-national Rugby Board will use to expand its core status from 12 to 15 countries. IRB created a qualifying bracket at the Hong Kong tournament with Canada finishing first, Spain sec-ond and Portugal third.
It means next year Can-ada will compete at every IRB event (sevens tourna-ments are full-day events, jamming full-size stadi-
ums for entire weekends) in the 2011-12 series: Aus-tralia, Dubai, South Africa, New Zealand, USA, Hong Kong, Japan, Scotland and England. It’s a massive
step for Can-ada, which won the 2011 Pan-Am rugby sevens in Guadala-jara. And it comes just as the national team read-ies for the s e v e n s ’ debut at the
2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“We knew what we had to do and we knew what the status was in terms of how to become a core team,” said Canada’s coach Geraint John. Can-ada ended the Hong Kong tourney as it defeated Spain for the second time on the weekend, earning
promotion to the core 15.“We decided that one
thing we weren’t going to talk about was the word core. All we said was we were going to try to win a tournament. That was the big emphasis all week-end. That was a deliber-ate thing we did.”
Canada was first in its group after the pool stage, and was clutch on Day 3, beating Russia 24-7 in the quarterfinal and Portu-gal 14-2 in the semifinal before winning 22-5 over Spain.
Canada carried a ros-ter with many Victoria connections: Oak Bay High grad and James Bay player Sean White; UVic Vikes Sean Duke and Nathan Hirayama; James Bay player John Moon-light; and Castaway Wan-derers players Nanyak Dala, Ciaran Hearn and Chauncey O’Toole.

MMA returns to Bear Mountain Arena
Travis PatersonNews staff
From the undercard to the head-liner, fighters are climbing the ladder thanks to the Armageddon Fighting Championship.
Since 2009, all seven of the mixed martial arts organization’s events have boasted a card rich with Island fighters, often with big-ger names brought in to serve as headliners.
Now it’s Victoria’s time to shine.
AFC No. 8: Vengeance, is scheduled for April 14 at Bear Mountain Arena, and the last four fights feature Victoria-based AFC veterans Ryan Janes, Nick Driedger, Karel Bergen and Diego Wilson.
Though Wilson’s fight against Dun-can’s Corey Gower is the last of the night, it isn’t necessarily the mar-quee match.
“Pick any one of those fights, all of them look exciting, and have earned a local following,” said AFC co-orga-nizer Jason Heit. “Since (AFC) started we’ve been all about developing local talent, now we’re seeing it.”
Wilson, Driedger and Janes are all out of Vic West’s Zugec Ultimate Mar-tial Arts, and are all known for their slick grappling and ground game.
All three are on a fast ascent, though Janes’ opponent, Marcus Hicks, carries an interesting element. Hicks has 31 fights to his name, and though just 11 are wins, it’s 27 more fights than Janes has.
“I’d say this is one of those fights Janes has to win,” Heit said. “There’s
more pressure on him. Hicks is what I call a gatekeeper. There’s a few guys like him, and you’ve got to win that (fight) to get to the next level.”
Bergen, meanwhile, is looking to follow Island MMA training partner Derek Medler in becoming another top-10 ranked fighter in Canada through the AFC. Bergen’s fight with Adam Smith is the second time they’ve been pencilled in. The two were lined up for AFC 7 back in November, when Bergen defeated step-in fighter Dave Logan instead.
Of course, the beauty of going to the fights means you never know who’ll put in the match of the night.
“In the undercards, Bronson Petterson brings a style that’s exciting,” Heit said.
From Campbell River, Petterson will
fight Chris Anderson in a fight that Heit did little to accommodate.
“That fight seemed to already be set,” Heit said. “I believe there is a place in this sport for a guy who is just tough, and that’s Bronson. He’s a guy we’ve scouted in the local scene and wanted.”
Without a polished defence, Pet-terson has the potential every time he fights to become a fan favourite because he makes it an absolute war, Heit added.
Zuma youngster Alexi Argyriou is also on the undercard. It’s Argyriou’s second attempt at his MMA debut after an injury pulled him out of AFC 7. Tickets for AFC 8 are avail-able at Sports Traders, the Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre and online at Armageddonfc.com.

Kamloops Blazers centre Matt Needham battles Victoria Royals centre Ben Walker behind the net at the Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre during the Blazers 7-5 win in Game 3 of the WHL playoffs on Tuesday (March 27). Needham scored once as the Blazers staged two comebacks to take a 3-0 series lead in the WHL quarterfinal series. Updates online at Vicnews.com.
UVic Vikes men’s and wom-en’s crews split the Brown Cup with their counterparts, the UBC Thunderbirds, on the Gorge Waterway on Saturday (March 24).
The annual Brown Cup brings rowing back to its heri-tage, as the eight-person sculls follow the natural features of the Gorge, 3,500 metres from Tillicum narrows to the John-son Street Bridge.
And it couldn’t have been closer, as both the men’s and women’s premier eight-person races ended with less than a second in separation. The Vikes women defeated UBC by a
0.63-second mar-gin, while UBC edged the Vikes by 0.93 of a second in the men’s race.
The Vikes’ eight-person reserve boats swept UBC’s, with the Vikes men 12.60 seconds ahead and the women 19.74 seconds in front.
Later on Saturday the Vikes rowing program met for its annual banquet. Third-year ath-lete Will O’Connell and fifth-year team captain Leanne Fells, both from Victoria, were named UVic’s male and female rowers of the year.
Varsity women’s eight: Megan Smith (coxswain), Ingrid Braul (stroke), Claire McCormick (seven), Alyssa Weninger (six),
Erika Shaw (five), Lara Kemp (four), Emma Watt (three), Ruby Walser (two) and Teresa Berkholtz (bow). Varsity men’s eight: Jane Gumley (coxswain), Brendan Downey (stroke), Will O’Connell (seven), Ross Bring-gold (six), Anthony Linton (five), Connor McGuigan (four), Lee Hall (three), Marc Verkuyl (two) and Jon Chandler (bow).
