During the summer after Graham Landells finished Grade 9 at Oak Bay High, a pivotal moment came for the teen.

He had spent a week volunteering at the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health, where he was working with a disabled child who was learning to ride a bicycle.

“He was struggling the whole week to get on two wheels, then finally on the last day he did and rode by himself,” Landells said. “My heart just melted while his mother sobbed.”

That was the moment Landells, now 18 and a University of Victoria student, knew that his volunteer efforts were about more than building a resumé. That same year Landells, then a part of Youth Against Cancer Club, Oak Bay Youth Outreach, as well as the track and field and soccer clubs, was recognized with a Young Exceptional Star Award from the District of Oak Bay. For six years the awards have been given to Oak Bay students in Grades 6 through 10 who strive for excellence within their schools and broader communities, often overcoming adversities to achieve their goals.

This year, Landells returned to the event as the keynote speaker and addressed a new group of high achieving youth nominated for the recognition. The awards, celebrated May 8 at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre Sports View Lounge, are based on volunteerism across an array of fields and commitment to a range of artistic, sporting and academic excellence.

Some researchers sense the hun-dred year old ghosts in Robert Falcon Scott’s hut in Antarctica. For Victoria’s Jana Stefan, the

building is a living museum, a place of comfort in one of the most unforgiving environments in the world.

Stefan, an exhibit arts technician with the Royal B.C. Museum, returned from Antarctica at the end of February, complet-ing her second six-month stint as part of a team working to preserve Scott’s base at

Cape Evans on Ross Island.

Stepping into Scott’s hut was a dream come true for the 34-year-old conservator who grew up hearing the stories of turn-of-the-century explorers like Ernest Shackelton and Roald Amundsen.

“I loved being in the hut. A lot of people talk about ghosts, but I never got the heebie-jeebies, but I do feel

a presence,” Stefan says. “It’s a powerful space. There’s a lot of personal things, socks, sweaters with name tags. It’s cozy, personalized.

“The first time I went into the hut ... I got it to myself for 15 minutes. I wasn’t even through the door and I was bawling. The energy is so thick in the room. I know the story is a tragedy, but nine-tenths of the time it was a fabulous boys’ adventure.

“Seeing the way it was set up, I’m famil-iar with the stories but being really in the space, it’s overwhelming,”

Stefan lead a small team of conservators from October to February in the ongoing effort to catalogue, photograph and pre-serve the thousands of items left behind at Scott’s base for his ill-fated Terra Nova Expedition. Starving and freezing, Scott and four other men died on their return trek from the South Pole in March 1912.

The preservation project, run by the New Zealand-based Antarctic Heritage Trust, is attempting to preserve four bases from the early British expeditions. Build-ings created by Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen, who led the first team to the South Pole in December 1911, fell from an ice shelf into the ocean long ago.

Scott’s hut at 10 meters wide by 25

metres long housed about 25 men. With military formality, it originally had two sec-tions, for officers and enlisted men.

Stefan’s day to day tasks involved return-ing artifacts treated and preserved at New Zealand’s permanent Scott Base, and repairing items like remnant food boxes sitting outside for the past 100 years. The goal is to preserve the site as-is, while giving the buildings and artifacts the ability to withstand the harsh perpetual winter.

“There are big food caches behind the hut, 120 boxes full of food. After 100 years they start to fall apart,” Stefan says. “And you have aggressive, awful birds eating 100 year old lentils.

“To conserve the frozen boxes, you have to dig them out, categorize them, load them on a sledge and haul them to the lab where they’re photoed and recorded, and then sledged back. And then put back exactly where we found it.”

That is the typical cycle for the 10,000 individual artifacts in and around the build-ing (the site also has two latrines and an magnetic observation building lined with asbestos).

Stefan says preserving a site is about

preserving an important era of history and the rare chance to save the first structures created on the continent. Although iso-lated, she says about 2,000 people per year now visit the Cape Evans site, including tourists from cruise ships.

“This is the only surviving example of the first building built by man on a conti-

nent,” Stefan says. “This was in the dying days of the age of exploration in one of the last places on earth to be conquered, and we have the physical record of doing that.”

Like her first six-month trip in 2008, Stefan worked and lived with fellow con-servators in two shipping

containers, converted to a lab and living quarters.

Living conditions are “primitive” at best, she says, and most of the food in Antarc-tica tends to be long expired by the time it’s cracked open.

“Everything you eat is probably three or four years old. It’s all expired. But we take turns cooking,” she says. “You still sleep on the ground in a sleeping bag. It’s four and a half months of no showers, no laundry, no email and no phone.

“Working in Antarctica is compared to

working in space. Its one of the few places where your survival depends on the peo-ple around you all day and every day.”

Stefan and her crew tended to work long hours in the near 24-hour daylight, but occasionally were able to hike and explore.

“It’s spectacular. There’s the Trans-Ant-arctic Mountains and big glaciers and an active volcano. If the ice breaks up, pen-guins cruise by. There’s orcas and all kinds of seals. I love it. I like to work in remote places.”

Stefan’s experience at Scott’s hut allowed her to consult with the American Museum of Natural History to a create scale recre-ation of the building, which will be part of the RBCM’s “Race to the End of the Earth” exhibition opening May 17.

The RBCM exhibition will give insights to both men’s preparations and motivations, – and explore the controversial notion the expeditions were “racing.”

Stefan suspects she won’t be return-ing to Antarctica anytime soon, and her one regret was not sleeping in Scott’s hut, although nobody does.

“I’m going to ask the museum if I can spend a night in the fake hut.”

As the flowers bloom in the warm summer sun of Greater Victoria, so too will the art such beauty inspires.

Nearly 40 artists will be working out of and showcased by hotels throughout Greater Victoria from now until the end of October for the third annual Artishow Victoria.

The event kicked off on Wednesday, May 1 at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel with a reception featuring the event’s organizers and the featured artists.

“Art is an integral part of our community, and our life,” said Oak Bay Tourism director Hazel Braithwaite. “They basically took the concept from a blank canvas to what it is today, a full fledged painting – planning it out, adding brush strokes and layers to it, and every year it gets better and better and bigger and bigger.”

Throughout the six months, eight hotels will host an artist in residence, typically one per month, per hotel, along with other art-centric events. The Chateau Victoria Hotel and Suites will be hosting Art Lunches and the Fairmont Empress will host the Plein Air events, which will see local artists painting on hotel grounds every Sunday from June 30 to Sept. 1.

Kenna Fair is the artist in residence at the Beach Hotel for the month of May. She will be painting at the hotel from May 15 to 17 and May 22 to 24, and her paintings will be on displayed throughout the month.

Raised on the West Coast and now a resident of Galiano Island, Fair’s work focuses on the ocean and its inhabitants, above and below the water. She said the event is beneficial to artists because it connects them to other industries, such as tourism.

“Exposure. I get to meet people that don’t run in similar circles,” Fair said. “That kind of stuff is priceless for an artist, particularly if you’re trying to make a living.”

Many of Fair’s paintings are split between life above the water and life below the water, sometimes with interaction looming. In one piece an eagle is approaching the water, talons out, while underneath the water a salmon swims,

ignorant of the impending danger.“Those two worlds are about to collide,” Fair

said. “I love that thin line between those worlds and these two different things going on side by side. … Things can be right beside us and we don’t even connect.”

Co-founder Kerry Liggins found the level of support for artists in Europe, where she spends part of the year, inspiring, and felt compelled to try and instill a similar spirit here, through the Artishow event.

“When I would go around I would be so impressed, and I thought ‘why can’t we be doing something like that in Victoria?’” Liggins said. “With funding cutbacks there are fewer and fewer opportunities for artists to show their works.”

Plans to relocate the Capital Region’s wastewater treatment plant and sewage sludge centre to a rural site near Victoria General Hospital were rejected by the

CRD board last week.Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins

brought the motion forward May 8, after she was approached by a landowner eager to sell his property at 1947 Burnside Rd. W., near the junction with Prospect Lake Road.

But the board rejected the site, primarily because it is currently located in the Agricultural Land Reserve. Removing that designation was considered too much of a risk, said Denise Blackwell, the CRD’s core area liquid waste management

Burnside lands get thumbs down for CRD sewage facilitycommittee chair.

“The (Agricultural Land Commission) is unlikely to take that property out of the reserve. We could have waited five years for an answer and still got a ‘no,’” she said.

Last week’s closed-door vote was made public because of high public interest, said Andy Orr, CRD spokesman.

CRD staff estimated relocating the both sewage treatment facilities to the Burnside site would also increase the overall project cost by 23 per cent to $962.7 million. Two additional large pumping stations and many kilometres of piping would be required to link the wastewater plant to marine outfalls, Orr said.

Operating costs for the alternative location would be an estimated $734,000 higher per year than existing plans, which propose to build the treatment facility at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt and create a separate biosolids plant. Sites on Viewfield Road in Esquimalt and at the Hartland Landfill are being considered for the latter facility.

Blackwell said alternative locations in Victoria’s Upper Harbour and in View Royal were also rejected for a variety of reasons.

The people of Oak Bay have a chance to con-tribute their input to the Official Community Plan during upcoming open houses and visioning work-shops.

The plan, a guide to community growth, hasn’t been updated since 1997. The update is intended to allow the district to renew its vision, objectives and policies on land use and development.

Phase 1 of the planning begins with community open houses May 25 and June 4.

The May 25 session runs from 1 to 4 p.m. at Windsor Pavilion.

Residents are invited to join the discussion June 4 from 5 to 8 p.m. at the Emmanuel Baptist Church Gym, 2121 Cedar Hill Cross Rd.

Five “visioning workshops” that focus on one element of plan are scheduled to take place at municipal hall council chambers.

The discussions will centre around parks, recre-ation and environment May 28 from 4:30 to 6 p.m.; arts and culture May 28 from 7 to 8:30 p.m.; com-munity and social services May 29 from 9:30 to 11 a.m.; business and commerce May 29 from noon to 1:30 p.m.; and education and facilities May 29 from 3:30 until 5 p.m.

Victoria Police Department officers Const. Ken Fetherston, left, Const. Steve Twardy and Sgt. Glen Shiels ride three abreast in the parking lot at Clover Point. The motorcycle riding officers were there to promote the North American Motor Officers Association annual conference, being hosted by VicPD from May 15 to 18 at Western Speedway in Langford.

Bike cops host conferenceVicPD welcome international police in Langford

Daniel PalmerNews staff

Nearly 100 police officers from across the Pacific North-west and as far away as Texas rumble into Western Speedway next week for the North Ameri-can Motor Officers Association’s annual conference.

The Victoria Police Depart-ment is hosting the Langford event, which will see officers participate in riding proficiency clinics, use-of-force and firearms seminars, then wind up the four-day conference May 18 with a ride through West Shore com-munities.

“This is the first time the con-

ference has ever been on the Island,” said VicPD Const. Steve Twardy, an organizing commit-tee member. “We have about 400 members in total, but that varies depending on funding each year from departments.”

VicPD boasts a 10-member motorbike unit, while the Saan-ich department has eight mem-bers assigned to bike duty. But some U.S. police departments have scaled back similar units, Twardy said, and the prohibitive cost of travelling to the Island has limited this year’s participa-tion.

Still, dozens of visiting officers are expected to arrive with their bikes and bring an economic boost to the West Shore.

“We’re going to occupy the entire speedway and surround-ing parking lots,” Twardy said.

The event is open for pub-lic viewing from the Speedway

bleachers during many of the events, he added.

Units outfitted with Harley Davidson, Victory and BMW motorcycles will compete in separate categories from each other in proficiency events.

“We do tears, where two guys on Harleys have a string between them and they have to do the entire course without breaking the string,” Twardy said. “It’s pretty amazing to watch the skill of some of these guys … but I’m sure there will probably be a few crashes.”

On the Saturday afternoon, officers will partake in a memo-rial ride honouring fallen officers through Langford, the Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood and Metcho-sin.

OAK BAYNEWS

2009

Another election campaign has come and gone, with the ritual posturing of political parties and most news media searching for anything they can portray as a conflict.

Now comes the time to wonder why not enough people cared, or informed themselves about the real problems of running this $40 billion corporation called the B.C. government.

Why would they, when the whole thing is presented as a combination of beauty contest and sports event, with endless discussion of polls and “attack ads” and who’s ahead and what’s the score?

Again we have seen the truth of former prime minister Kim Campbell’s observation that elections are no time to talk about serious issues. Indeed, there are some things you can’t speak of at all.

Peace River North MLA Pat Pimm caused a stir at a candidates’ debate when he referred to constituents’ concerns that disabled children can cause difficulties in classrooms.

He didn’t say classrooms should be segregated, although that’s a discussion worth having. He didn’t deny the need for more support for special needs kids. But his opponents immediately portrayed it that way, and media seized on the

conflict without letting the facts get in the way.

West Vancouver-Capilano MLA Ralph Sultan had a similar

experience when he referred to his study of poverty in that affluent area. He noted that there was a high correlation between single parenthood and kids in poverty. Picking on single mums, his detractors exclaimed, and that’s what got reported.

The B.C. Conservatives kicked their Boundary-Similkameen candidate out of the party because

he wrote an article saying women shouldn’t choose to be single mothers.

You can talk about child poverty, as long as you only discuss it based on federal statistics that don’t measure poverty. Christy Clark started doing this as soon as she became B.C. Liberal leader, one of several issues where she dispensed with the facts and tried to copy a popular NDP stance instead.

She was all about families, which can of course be single people, single parents or pretty well anything you want them to be.

In fact the decline of the traditional family and the abdication of responsibility by many parents, fathers in particular, are central factors in the problem of poor children.

But you can’t talk about that, at

least not during elections.Whole areas of political

discussion have devolved into euphemisms that are chosen because they can’t be defined. Everybody’s in favour of “affordable housing.” What they won’t admit is that this is code for subsidized housing, because then they would have to talk about how much the subsidy is, and who has to pay for it.

Good grief, that might raise the question of whether the state should be taking money away from some people and giving it to others so they can live where they otherwise couldn’t afford to live.

We even have rules preventing the media from reporting polls on election day. People might be influenced by this, you see. If you tell them Party X is far ahead, they might stay home and mow the lawn instead. If you tell them someone is making a comeback, they might change their vote because they want to be on the winning side, or the one that has “momentum.” Just like any other sport.

The news media are steadily losing influence with the public. There are many factors, including the vast array of information sources that are available at most people’s fingertips.

Another factor is treating the public like they’re idiots.

Things you can’t say in elections

‘ ... elections are no time to talk about serious issues.’

Don’t pass sewage buck

The regional sewage treatment project has no shortage of critics. Citizen opposition groups in Greater Victoria decry that the venture is a colossal waste of money, and residents and politicians in Esquimalt don’t want treatment plants in their backyard.

Trying to shoehorn a large piece of sewage treatment infrastructure into an urban area is guaranteed to anger and disrupt the lives of some residents and businesses, which is rightly a concern of Esquimalt council.

But the latest desperate offering by Esquimalt’s mayor to have the Capital Regional District consider relocating the entire project to rural farmland in Saanich is woefully self-serving and would only accomplish passing the buck to a different municipality.

The landowner has a right to offer the land for sale and the CRD board can give it a look. But to push this as a viable location for sewage and sludge treatment gives false hope to residents potentially impacted by the project.

It also comes years after painstaking and costly studies were undertaken to decide on where to locate sewage treatment infrastructure.

The CRD rejected the proposal. The Burnside Road West location is provincially protected agricultural land reserve and the move would add some $200 million to an already expensive $783-million project.

On the upside, the property offered is 16 hectares and would allow a single location for regional sewage treatment, and is far from homes. But the considerable downside is pumping sewage from the Macaulay and Clover Point outfalls about 13 kilometres across the city for treatment on the farmland, and then back to an outfall.

That’s almost as bad as the proposal to pump (or truck) biosolids 18 kilometres to Hartland landfill for energy extraction.

Building a treatment plant at an industrial site at McLoughlin Point and potentially at the warehouse complex on Viewfield Road, in the middle of residential Esquimalt, is probably the best of a hard situation, given the geography of Greater Victoria and available land in the city.

Counting on camasGirl Guides Ellie Love, Chloe MacBeth, Annabelle Fieltsch and Natalia Tisot-Wright identify camas growing in Uplands Park during the Camas Day celebration. The event, held May 5, celebrated 20 years of the Chatham District Girl Guides helping to restore the park by removing invasive ivy and broom. Participants enjoyed music by the Bald Eagles Band, a cup of Silk Road tea, bingo under the oaks, a wild flower ramble and more.

I read with interest the comments by Oak Bay Police Chief Const. Mark Fisher in the April 19 News (Community, elder crime top of Oak Bay police agenda), and l commend him for the main focus on elder abuse.

However, regarding his long-term goal for a new building for the department, I am wondering if it is appropriate at this time to be spending resources, both human and financial, considering the issues facing Oak Bay.

The timing to consider a plan for a new facility in consideration of a new Official Community Plan may be appropriate but l would like to point out that in the coming years the taxpayers of Oak Bay will be facing significant tax and service increases to cover the costs of the new sewer disposal system, Uplands sewer separation costs, and road and sidewalk maintenance to name a few. These will be in the ten of millions of dollars.

There are huge shortfalls in the current budget for road maintenance and renewal, as well as sidewalk replacement and upgrades.

Because of budget restraints, it could take untold years to complete the sidewalk cutoffs so that seniors with mobility aids can easily negotiate sidewalks which will take unknown years to be made safe throughout Oak Bay.

Further, l believe it would be premature to consider a new police building, at a cost of millions of dollars, in the face of increased pressure for amalgamation of municipalities or merging of services.

It would be prudent to wait for the outcome of any discussions and/or decisions. Should either one of these options be considered the need for a new police facility could be in question.

Claire ErautOak Bay

Tom Fletcher’s response to Adrian Dix’s election platform is so laughably biased it might actually encourage undecided voters to support their NDP candidate (B.C. Views, May 1).

Apart from a few snide comments, the first part of the column actually seems to support the proposals but then come the negative comments about items such as: welfare payments and the minimum wage being linked to inflation; new child bonus program for low-income families; increased spending on youth education; financial assistance

to disadvantaged families; tax increases on corporations and banks to pay for these steps.

A phrase like “nanny state” leaves us in no doubt about the writer’s prejudices but would he really discourage a young person from studying English because there is no apparent job at the end?

Does he not realize that a more balanced approach might actually be of help to those of us trying to make an informed and rational decision in the election?

Neil JacksonOak Bay

A few weeks ago a volunteer arrived at my door seeking donations to support UNICEF water purification projects.

This dedicated youth explained that untreated sewage and poor sanitation is the leading cause of illness and death in many developing nations.

Imagine her surprise when I informed her that here in the Garden City, this beautiful capital city, we don’t treat our sewage – we discharge our sewage (containing millions of disease-causing bacteria and other pollutants into the ocean).

This is a true story, of which I am painfully familiar. There is a smaller coastal community, about 15,000 residents, facing the same issue. For more than 30 years, residents and opposition groups took actions that delayed building a sewer system and treatment facility.

Study after study was completed; and project after project was proposed, designed, financed, then abandoned when a new slate of decision-makers was elected.

The technical details of each

project varied little. Let’s face it, there are only a handful of ways to collect and treat sewage.

One consistency remained – each project was significantly more expensive than the last due to the passage of time and increased costs of construction. After defaulting on government loans, the governing agency filed bankruptcy. Eventually, the $48M project became a $220M project and the local homeowners were saddled with monthly rates exceeding $200.

A modern and well-maintained sewage treatment facility is the most significant piece of infrastructure in a community, protecting both public health and the environment.

After all, it takes a foul waste, extracts resources and renders the remainder harmless. I could be proud of that.

I hope our elected decision makers will move forward to complete the sewage treatment facility and turn this issue into one of community pride.

Transit teams with Wilson’s for cruise terminal pickups Daniel PalmerNews staff

A decision by the Greater Vic-toria Harbour Authority to use B.C. Transit buses for cruise ship passengers has transit drivers fuming.

The GVHA awarded a one-year contract to Wilson’s Transporta-tion Ltd. May 6. Under the con-tract, six B.C. Transit buses will be driven by Wilson’s drivers and make runs between Ogden Point and downtown Victoria.

The round-trip fare will cost tourists $10.

But Canadian Auto Workers Local 333 President Ben Williams said B.C. Transit likely violated

its collective agreement by leas-ing the buses for private ser-vice without using B.C. Transit employees.

“I cannot understand how an employer, with a contract that clearly stipulates it must consult with the union on any new work, would refuse to do exactly that,” Williams said.

In a statement, B.C. Transit spokeswoman Meribeth Bur-ton said a reduction in summer hours means unused buses are able to be leased to generate fur-ther revenue.

“B.C. Transit has a provin-cial fleet of 1,000 buses. Six of those buses will be leased to the GVHA,” Burton said.

“The revenue generated from leasing these idle buses will be invested back into transit ser-vices.”

The GVHA approved the one-year contract while it begins test-ing cleaner and quieter buses for use through James Bay.

It was not clear what type of buses would be supplied by B.C. Transit for the cruise shuttles.

“The end goal is a sustain-able transportation network for cruise passengers and crew that minimizes impacts on the com-munity,” said harbour authority president and CEO Curtis Grad.

CAW Local 333 plans to grieve the use of B.C. Transit buses.

Vehicle mischiefA driver of a Honda returned

to find their vehicle vandalized sometime overnight on May 6 at the University of Victoria. Not only did the vandal rip the driver’s side mirror from the car, but they also tested the letter of the law when they made off

with the “H” from the vehicle’s grill.

Oak Bay police received sev-eral reports of vehicles being entered overnight between May 9 and 10 in the area of Milton Road, Yale Street and Foul Bay Road. Unlocked vehicles have been targeted and valuables – including a briefcase and a camera lens valued at approxi-mately $800 – were taken. The briefcase was later recovered.

More bike theftsA locked mountain bike

was stolen from Queen’s Park near Oak Bay Marina May 10. The bright lime green bike was locked to a picnic table at around 8 a.m. and disap-peared by 11 a.m. when the owner returned. The moun-tain bike was hand built with a Gary Fisher Interceptor frame and valued at approximately $1,000.

“You can achieve excellence in so many ways and we leave the field wide open,” said Oak Bay councillor and awards committee lead Michelle Kirby. “Sometimes it’s hard for those kids to be seen and be recognized in traditional awards ceremonies. This is a venue for us to do that, to recognize kids who are really working hard and have achieved excellence and maybe had to overcome some heavy obstacles and had to work harder to do good. It’s really inspirational.”

Landells continues to volunteer with the summer bike camp for children with disabilities, as well as with the Canadian Cancer Society. He hopes to enter the medical field.

“You grow so much as you age,” said Landells, who describes sports and arts as a gateway to lifelong learning and teamwork. “Volunteering and being involved helps that so much. They have their whole lives ahead of them – and so do I.

“It’s just nice to know that volunteering can set you on such a nice path to something bigger.”nnorth@saanichnews.

Star awards showcase teens with high idealsContinued from Page A1

A major increase in traffic in its annual Home Design and Renova-tion Tour gave Young Life Victoria a major injection of cash to help send youth to summer camp.

The tour, which ran over two days last month, saw 900 people troop through nine homes and the Oak

Bay Beach Hotel to check out con-struction and design work done by local companies. The event raised $33,000 for the organization, which will use it to send youth from finan-cially challenged families to its Rock-Ridge Canyon camp near Princeton, B.C.

The total was a huge increase from recent years, when the number of tickets sold was in the 500 to 600 range, said Young Life spokesperson Bill Okell.

“It’s hard to explain what did it, but we suspect that maybe over the years we’ve increased the quality of

homes on the tour,” he said. “Where before we were including things like bathroom or single-room renos, now we’re seeing complete home renos.”

The sights and sounds of Mexican tradition are coming to Victoria for the fifth annual Mariachi Festival on May 17 at the Alix Goolden Performance Hall.

Up to 36 performers from Mexico, Texas and Vancouver will showcase the centuries-old traditional Mexican music, with a sneak peek performance at the Inner Harbour on Friday morning.

“It’s a very unique family festival, very rich in music and history, and it brings a little bit of education about what we have in Mexico,” said director/producer Alex Alegria, who heads his own mariachi band, Los Dorados (the Golden Boys) in Vancouver.

Professional mariachi group Cocula promise to get the audience moving

when they take the stage dressed as charros (otherwise known as “Mexican cowboys”) complete with sombreros, flashy belts and colourful suits.

Cocula hails from what is believed to be the birthplace of mariachi in Jalisco, Mexico. While its origins date back to the 16th century, the modern mariachi of trumpets, strings and guitar only developed in the late 1920s, Alegria said.

“Back in the day, we didn’t have trumpets, instead there were drums and a little flute, the chimirilla. That instrument is almost like a flute but with a much different sound,” he said.

Texas-based Los Arrieros is also adding their world-class musical expertise to the festival in Victoria, as well as stops in Vancouver and Nanaimo.

“Los Arrieros is one of the best mariachi bands in the United States,” Alegria

said.Alegria and his fellow

bands will perform a

special preview concert at Victoria’s Inner Harbour at 11 a.m. across from the Fairmont Empress Hotel.

The free event will provide onlookers with a taste of what they’ll be inclined to witness later that evening at Alix Goolden Performance Hall.

The Mariachi Festival begins May 15 in Vancouver, where Alegria has arranged to screen a 1941, a period when mariachi was at its height of North American success, Mexican film at VanCity theatre.

“We also wrote a specific

song for the Canadian festival we’ll be playing for the first time in Victoria. It talks about all the mariachis coming out of the conflict of the Mexican

revolution and coming to Canada,” he said.

For more information, go to mariachifestival.ca or buy tickets, (adults $38.50, senior $33.50, student $33.50, children $28.50) for the Victoria performance through the

Royal McPherson Box Office at 250-386-6121 or at rmts.bc.ca.

Well-known Sidney-based artist Nancy Rotolo presents a one-woman show at the Community Arts Centre in Sidney from May 21 to 25.

The show features Rotolo’s colourful new work in oils and acrylics, highlighting her unique interpretation of colour and light across diverse subject matter.

“Nancy’s work is wonderful,” said Kathy Hargreaves, a fan of Rotolo’s work. “It never fails to amaze me how Nancy captures the essence of her subject, whether she is painting a seascape, forest, flower, or animal. Her level of skill is remarkable.”

Rotolo started sketching and painting as a young child. She attended the Art Students League in New

York after high school. Prior to moving to

Canada six years ago, Rotolo lived and showed her work in Florida. Since coming to Canada she has displayed her work in the Sidney Fine Art show and at other local venues.

Rotolo’s paintings are rich in colour and texture demonstrating a high level of craftsmanship. Her artwork reflects her deep love of nature, a powerful understanding of animals, and a great wonder about the world. Her award-winning paintings are in private collections across North America and Europe.

Rotolo’s new works will be on display at the Community Arts Centre, 9565 Fifth St., Sidney, in Tulista Park.

The centre is open from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is free.

‘Lion’ is among Nancy Rotolo’s new works that will be on display at the Community Arts Centre in Sidney this month.

After 17 years, Victoria’s Uno Fest is now North America’s longest-running festival of solo performance.

Following last year’s successful festival, which featured Hawksley Workman’s The God That Comes, this year marks the 300th show at Uno Fest.

The 10-day curated festival features some of the best solo performers from across North America, including Fringe favorites Jayson McDonald, Tara Travis and John Grady, alongside national successes Itai Erdal’s How to Disappear Completely, Evalyn Parry’s Spin, Cliff Cardinal’s Huff, Johanna Nutter’s My Pregnant Brother and Brian Fidler’s Broken.

The festival is also presenting the entertaining, raunchy and always controversial (and former Uno Fest performer) Mike Daisey in his return to Victoria with American Utopias at the Metro Studio May 16 and 17 as a special pre-Uno Fest event. In American Utopias Daisey explores how we create public spaces where we act out our dreams of a better world.

Uno Fest runs May 22 to June 2 at Metro Studio and Intrepid Theatre Club. Tickets are available at ticketrocket.org or at 250-590-6291.

Playing outside her front door at her Esquimalt home, six-year-old Cassidy Scott was approached by a man who asked her to leave with him.

She said “no” and ran inside to tell her mom, Lia Carle.

“I was packing up some bags and I could hear her singing and then it sounded like she was talking to some-one and I thought it was the landlord,” recalled the Lang-ford mom, who said she was headed to the door as her six-year-old ran in telling her what happened.

The man asked Scott if her mom was home and when she said “yes” he still asked her to go with him.

“I was really surprised and really scared considering this happened right under my nose,” Carle said.

That was five years ago, but with two similar recent incidents on the West Shore, Carle sparked up the conversa-tion with her kids again.

“We would come up with scenarios and ask her what she would do. We would say ‘What would you do if you happened to get lost in mall?’ We asked

her just about everything we could think of,” Carle said. “We do the same thing now with our five-year-old son.”

One question was “What would you do if a stranger asked you to go with them?”

“We did this in an informal setting. We don’t want to scare our kids, but they need to be prepared in case it happens,” Carle said.

Within a few weeks of each other, two cases similar to Cassidy’s have been reported to the West Shore RCMP.

One incident occurred in View Royal on April 10 and another in Langford on April 30. In both cases a child was asked to go with a man in his vehicle. Both children declined and the suspect or suspects have not been found.

“We as police know these things happen and we encourage parents and adults to have age-appro-priate conversations with

their children,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz of the West Shore RCMP. “We need to empower our children to recognize when something does not feel right whether it’s staying over at a friend’s house for the night or walking home from school.”

Rochlitz advises parents to tell their kids if something doesn’t feel right on a walk home from school, turn around or stop at a business to call someone they trust. “Tell them to trust their Spidey senses.”

Preparing children to say ‘no’ to strangers

Charla Huber/News staff

Cassidy Scott, 11, was asked by a stranger to leave her front door and go with him. Six years old at the time, she did the right thing by saying ‘no’ and telling her mom. With two similar incidents happening on the West Shore, police want parents to talk to their kids about interacting with strangers.

Parents should reinforce rules in wake of suspected abduction attempts

“We need to empower our children to recognize when something does not feel right.”

It sounds kind of gruesome, but Fraser Orr is most comfortable when he’s got a meat cleaver in his hand.

And the longtime Saanich Peninsula butcher and meat products creator is indeed happy again, having taken

a staff position with the Market on Millstream.

“We’re letting people know I’ve popped up,” Orr says with his trademark lilting Scottish brogue.

While he’s been working at the Market for three months now, he says, “It’s all still new to me after 34 years of

owning my own business.”Ronald Orr and Son Family

Butcher had three stores in its heyday, including the original location in Brentwood Bay, and was famous for its brand of haggis. But as Fraser Orr puts it, “a set of unfortunate circumstances” led himself, brother, Stewart and sister, Rhonda Hebb – they took over when Ronald Orr died in 2000 – to close the stores last fall.

When Market on Millstream co-owner Darryl Hein approached Fraser about getting back into the business and introducing the Orr family’s traditional recipes to a new clientele, he seized the opportunity.

“I’ve got the excitement back of cutting meat and stuff,” Orr said. “It’s definitely less stressful and it’s a real pleasure to come to work.”

He’s enjoying being just “one of the boys” at the store under Hein and meat department manager John Macaulay.

On top of regular butcher duties, Orr is producing the specialized sausages, meat pies and other products sold at the family shop, Hein said.

“(This is) just going to add to the mix,” Hein said of the traditional Scottish recipes.

“I think when they closed down their shop there were quite a few people who were disappointed. There’s a market for their products and we hope to capitalize on that.”

Orr’s specialty items are also being sold at the Market on Yates, Hein said.

Oak Bay Marine group adds directors

Still grieving the loss of company founder Bob Wright, who passed away last month, Oak Bay Marine Group announced the appointment of Mark Appleton and Sharon Halkett as directors. Both have extensive backgrounds in management and are familiar with the company’s operations and mandate. Among the first decisions the pair made in their new roles was to install Rob Waters in the role of interim CEO.

Island Savings sends kids to camp

Island Savings is teaming up with the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island in a venture to help send kids to Queen Alexandra summer camps. For every person who attends the May 25 grand opening of the credit union’s Jubilee branch at 1955 Fort St. (in the former Blockbuster Video store), $5

will be donated to the foundation toward sending children with health challenges, and their siblings, to camp. Attendees need not conduct a banking transaction.

Paint-your-own ceramics in-store

Figurines and other pottery are found in most gift and kitchen stores. But Veronica Forsman at Colour Me Mine is encouraging children and adults alike to create their own designs and paint combinations. Forsman opened her shop last month in Broadmead Village and offers a range of items to customize, as well as scenarios with which to gather with friends and get creative. Special events, birthday parties, even date nights are among the group options, plus the store is open every day for people to select their item, paint it, have it fired and take it home.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation

The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers.

The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like weld-ing machines, tanning beds and lasers.

UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not pres-ent any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision.

If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usu-ally temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes.

Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more se-rious. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a clouding of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible.

The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun.

To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown.

If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation.

Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

All four Highlanders goals came in the first half.

“We made a lot of changes in the second half, we were checking out some of the players and we had two youth players play-ing at the end there,” said coach Dave Dew.

SPORTSNEWS IN BRIEF

Velox Valkyries captain Brittany Sims appreciates the pass from Burnaby Lake player Kim Donaldson as she’s crushed by Valkyries tackler Lynzi Anderson during Saturday’s provincial rugby final at Wallace Field.

Travis PatersonNews staff

The veteran forward pack of the James Bay Athletic Association commanded its way to an 18-10 victory over Burnaby Lake in the Canadian Direct Insurance Premier League Rounsefell Cup Final on Saturday, one of three provincial rugby finals at UVic’s Wallace Field.

“We knew our forward pack would need to match their’s, at least,” said James Bay captain Spencer Dalziel.

The Bays rarely gave up the ball and took their time grinding the game down. Peter Gillespie scored JBAA’s first try to make it 5-5 at the half.

Oak Bay High grad Sean White scored a pen-alty goal to start the second half.

Mitch Bancroft and Jim de Goede scored two more tries off an impressive series of rucks by the JBAA forwards for an 18-5 lead.

“They outplayed us,” said Burnaby Lake cap-tain Mike Gough.

It’s the 24th provincial title for the Bays, which also won the Island championship last month.

Velox slip in Harris Cup finalBurnaby Lake rode a dominant first half to

edge the Velox Valkyries 17-13 for the Gordon Harris Memorial Cup, emblematic of the 2013 B.C. Rugby Adidas Women’s Premiership cham-pionship.

Burnaby roared to a 14-3 lead in the first half

with Velox’s Monique Boag knotting the only score on a penalty goal.

The second half saw a reverse in momentum with Velox winning the rucks they weren't win-ning in the first half. It led to two tries, one from captain Brittany Sims and the other fullback Selina McGinnis, 14-13.

But Burnaby managed to find just enough in the late going to hold on, with Julia Sugawara converting a penalty goal.

High school rivals joined on UVicThe UVic Norsemen defeated Burnaby Lake

Rugby 35-15 in the second of the day's trilogy of championships, the men’s First Division Ceili’s Cup final.

Late tries by Luke McCluskey and Kapi Vataiki sealed it for UVic, which stayed true to the Div. 1 theme and trotted out first-year rookies. Granted, some of those rookies are very much on the radar of the national team program.

The scored finished 15-10 at half for Burnaby. UVic kept in it thanks to the fine kicking of local product Fergus Hall, a Glenlyon Norfolk School grad. Centre Dustin Dobravsky and winger Keenan Horton scored second-half tries for UVic, while Hall kicked 15 points.

The win was a club effort, said UVic flanker Jeff Nishima-Miller, a recent grad of St. Michaels University School in Saanich and former rival of Hall's in school play.

“We had so many injuries all year,” he said.

“We had to call guys up from the thirds all the time. We learned to play with heart.”

Gorge FC’s soon-to-be premier women’s team came within a goal of winning the provincial soccer Leeta Sokalski Cup B Cup title on Saturday only to fall 2-1 to the Burnaby Selects.

It was one of six provincial soccer finals held at Westhills and Goudy fields in Langford. The only other local squad representing was also a Gorge FC women’s team, which fell 3-0 in the Women’s Classics to the Coastal FC Supra.

It was the B Cup that Gorge nearly won, however.

Tied 1-1 and about 15 minutes into the second half, the B Cup final looked to turn in Gorge’s favour when Burnaby took a red card and went down to 10 players.

But before Gorge could take advan-tage, Burnaby struck on a miscue to take a 2-1 lead.

From there on it was all Gorge.

“(Burnaby) hung on for dear life. We were the better team for the last 30 minutes and weren’t missing by much,” Gorge coach Rick Zaharia said.

“It was very exciting to watch, we created so many opportunities, we just didn’t finish them.”

The former coach of the Victoria Highlanders women’s reserves team will return to guide the Gorge team in 2013-14 as it is promoted to the premier division of the Lower Island Women’s Soccer Association from Div. 1.

Tryouts are in early August.Zaharia expects the Gorge team

will gain interest from premier level players.

“We’ll want to take some on to be competitive but we also want to have a balance with the players that got the team into this tier,” he said.

Tegan Lang scored Gorge’s goal on Saturday.

When you turn on your tap and clean, safe water comes out, do you ever wonder how it got there or what happens to it when it goes down the drain? Or why you should care?

“We may think we have enough water for our needs in BC but that is not always the case. Our water is finite, and the demand is increasing due to climate change, popula-tion growth and industry needs,” says Daisy Fos-ter, CEO of the 4,700-member BC Water & Waste Association. “Although the expenses may not be apparent, there are significant costs, energy and human input required to treat our drink-ing water to be clean and safe, deliver it to our taps, and manage the wastewater that goes down the drain.”

She adds, “New regulations and aging infrastructure such as pipes and treatment systems will mean upgrades and replace-ments and this is something we are all going to have to pay for.”

During Drinking Water Week, May 20 – 26, BC Water & Waste Association asks you to ‘Get

to Know Your H2O’ and think about the impact of your every-day habits.

“We forget that we use the same treated drinking water to

wash our cars and water our lawns. We flush our toilets and away it goes with whatever we put down there,” says Foster. “Just a few simple changes such as water-ing our lawns less, using rain barrels, installing

water efficient fixtures or appli-ances, and not putting harmful substances down our drains can make a big difference.”

For example, detergents, paint, medications, and many other household products end up at wastewater treatment plants where special processes are required to minimize the impact on the environment and receiv-ing waters. Fats, oils and grease that we put down our drains can often cause blockages in sewer lines resulting in costly repairs.

Foster says, “During Drinking Water Week, get involved and learn more about your water and the impact of your actions. Start by taking the Community Water

Challenge and pledge to be water wise.”

The five easy pledges can be taken online. People can also find out about community events such as tours of water and wastewater treatment facil-ities in their area, or download fun and educational activities for children and families, at www.drinkingwaterweek.org.

Our water – Why do we need to protect it? Why should we care?

Be Water Wise:□ I will limit my shower time to 5 minutes per day.

□ I will install a water efficient fixture or appliance in my home.

□ I will use less water outdoors by giving my lawn only the amount of water it needs (2.5 cm of water each week, or the height of a tuna can).

□ I will turn off the tap when brushing my teeth, scrubbing dishes, shaving, or during any other water wasting activity.

□ I will not put harmful substances such as cleaners, paints, pesticides and grease down my drain.

Did You Know? n The average British Columbian uses 353 litres of water per day, yet thinks they use less than 200 litres per day.* n 78 per cent of British Columbians would fix an internet outage within a day, but only 50 per cent would fix a leaky faucet within the same time frame.*n Replacing an 18-litre-per-flush toilet with an ultra low volume 6-litre or less model leads to a 66% savings in water flushed and will reduce indoor water use by about 30%.

True and False: Test your water knowledge!

1. British Columbians use more water than other Canadians. T__ F__

2. A toilet that continues to run after flushing can waste up to 200,000 litres of water in a single year. T__ F__

3. The best way to achieve a healthy lawn is by watering lightly several times a week. T__ F__

Answers: 1.True: British Columbians use an average of 353 litres of water per day; the average Canadian uses 274 litres of water per day.* 2. True: To find out if your toilet is leaking, put two or three drops of food colouring in the tank at the back of the toilet, and wait a few minutes. If the colour shows up in the bowl, there’s a leak. 3. False: Watering your lawn thoroughly once per week rather than lightly at a greater frequency will strengthen the roots and promote a greener, healthier lawn.
