SAANICHNEWSForgotten beauty on the Prairies

Travis PatersonNews staff

Photographer Dion Manastyrski has some advice for anyone con-sidering using crowd funding for a project.

Firstly, be well prepared to expand beyond the supportive

reach of your friends and family, he says, because its tough going once you reach out to the general public.

Ive read warnings about how its not easy, its definitely difficult if you want to do anything more than a small amount, Manastyr-ski says.

Manastyrski, who lives near Uptown in Saanich, is now launch-ing ahead with the print produc-tion of his first book, a hardcover photo essay called Prairie Sunset: A Story of Change, thanks to a suc-cessful $41,000 crowd-fundning campaign on IndieGogo.com. The proceeds exceeded hisoriginal

goal by about 10 per cent.One thing I learned is that

anyone attempting crowdfund-ing absolutely has to have a good presentation of their project, and some appeal. And you have to let people know a little bit about you, he added.

It took 10 years for Manastyr-

ski to accumulate the photos and interviews for his book, which focuses on abandoned homes, barns and schoolhouses dating back 100 years in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

Lets Make NoveMber 11th

a Day to reMeMber.

In keeping with a tradition since 2001, all Quality Foods stores close each Remembrance Day to pause and reflect on the importance of the role of our past and present service men and women.

Whether in times of war or peace, we are ever grateful for these brave souls who put themselves in harms way for the greater good of all Canadians.

This year, with continuing turmoil worldwide, the need becomes even more apparent to keep November 11 aside for current & future generations to remember and appreciate their courage and sacrifices made in the name of freedom.

We believe that when we stand united in acts of remembrance, we can make a world of difference.

ALL QUALITY FOODS STORES WILL CLOSE TUESDAY NOV. 11TH.

7x 3dist of saan

Background: Mayor of Saanich since 1996, on coun-cil since 1986. Previously managed familys business, Victoria Tire Ltd.s three Kal Tire stores prior to becoming mayor. Chair of the Municipal Finance Authority, Trustee of the Municipal Pension Plan for-mer president of the Union of BC Municipalities.

How would you be abeneficial voice on council?

Together, we have built a sustainable, vibrant and healthy community. I wish to continue working with you to continue to enhance the community we call home.

Saanich is known for its financial management. Through careful planning, we have increased our spending on pipes, roads, bridges and sidewalks. In four years, we will be one of few communities to have eliminated our infrastructure deficit. This is important for us, our children and grandchildren.

We are a healthy and active community, with modern libraries, recreation and seniors centres. Our parks, trails and natural spaces are second to none, especially our most recent acquisitions: Haro Woods, Panama Flats and Blenkinsop Lake.

We support affordable housing projects through funding and approvals. This includes the Habitat for Humanity project in Cedar Hill, Cool-Aid transition housing on Quadra Street, and St Vincent de Paul hous-ing on West Saanich Road.

I am proud that Saanich is recognized as a leader in environmental programs. Our climate change initiatives have won awards, and we are a founding member of Partners for Climate Protection.

I believe Saanich is a special place, where green space and commerce co-exist, and where we continue to work together for a healthier tomorrow.

Saanich Votes: Election 2014

Your mayoral candidates:

Background: Software engi-neer, holds patents on iPod, Motorolla devices. Served as director of the Sewage Treat-ment Action Group, which advocates on behalf of citizens for alternative sewage treat-ment options at the Capital Regional District.


I will bring my successful business experience, a thorough understanding of local issues, and proven leadership skills to the office of mayor.

I want to build a vision for Saanich; a vision that is created through open governance and the creation of a citizens council. My vision is to create a place where our citizens will thrive, where businesses can grow and where our neighbourhoods will flourish. For example: family-centred villages; sports and entertainment venues for all residents to enjoy.

We must also build on our local food culture through our schools and communities in and around Saanich. This is a vitally important investment in our local econ-omy and public health.

Innovative urban development, affordable sewage treatment, transportation improvements, protecting our agriculture and environment these are important issues that we need to start working on now - together - to find realistic and long-term solutions.

The #1 safety issue, the Trans Canada Highway at McKenzie Avenue, must be a top priority. I will work to get this back on the table with our federal, provincial and municipal counterparts.

I am committed to working together with Saanich resi-dents to bring about financially sound decisions; to look at current long-standing problems and find sustainable solutions to them; and I am committed to working col-laboratively with our neighbouring municipalities and senior governments.

Richard Atwell Frank LeonardBackground: David is 71

years old, and since his first imprisonment at 14, says he has seen the Crown as a mon-strous fraud.

Through the many chap-ters of his life, he has run many businesses, but is most known for his work as the Garbage Guru junk hauler. He played a pivotal role in the Appeals Court of B.C. ruling that recognized the right to sleep and subsequently lead to the half-justice of sleeping being made legal, implicitly, in public during the day in Victoria.


As it stands, the current municipal regimes have been deteriorating in conventionalism, having more concern with their careers than breaking free from the controls that have us locked in. Responsible government does not push itself into debt, at all costs.

I know how to delegate and ask questions. I will not be afraid of losing my job as I will not be signing the Oath of Office (because the Crown is a monstrous fraud). Accepting that my term will not be longer than 45 days, I can scrutinize the entire process without bias.

The days of retirements and vacations are coming to a close. If businesses cannot adhere to the required aus-terity, they will collapse. City hall will become a hub of survival expertise that recognizes community as the only thing that will see the people into the hard, hard future, with a 24/7 meet and greet space that will look remark-ably like a tent city. Every bylaw will be scrutinized for constitutional compliance and discoveries will be made public. Police will have mandatory sensitivity training with focus on recognizing conscientious behaviour and if the cop culture does not toe the line, they will be replaced by a volunteer force.

IN GRATITUDE


Continued from Page A1

Manastyrski grew up in Sas-katchewan but moved locally for the University of Victoria and stayed as a forest biol-ogy researcher with Natu-ral Resources Canada at the Pacific Forestry Centre.

Taking photos was part of his work which developed into a hobby. His annual vis-its with family in Saskatche-wan doubled as photography trips, and he sometimes spent days seeking the right light to capture an old barn. Now retired, hes focused on filling the books pre-orders, which should be out by January, if not earlier. Manastyrski chose to independently publish the book through Friesens Book Division in Manitoba.

It costs a lot to print in Canada but I really wanted to,

and its a high-quality printer, which I really wanted.

The quality of the produc-tion means it will be at least $50 for the book and more than $70 to cover shipping.

Those who pre-ordered the book with shipping earned a discount, a common trend with crowd funding.

I sold the shipped books at

$65 which is at least eight to 10 dollars less, Manastyrski said.

He finished compiling the books material with a four-month road trip this summer, his eighth and final road trip throughout Saskatachewan and Manitoba over the last 10 years.He also interviewed 70 people in total including retired farmers, former teach-ers of one-room schools and other longstanding commu-nity members to bring back-ground context to the photos.

The words of the people it tells a story of the past Prai-rie life. Even though I grew up on a farm and knew about life there, I was still surprised to learn what it was like there before electricity, they grew their own food and pre-served it, they lived without refrigeration and heated their

homes, Manastyrski said.As the reader delves deep

into the Prairie Sunset, the book becomes a story of self efficiency, Manastyrski said.

The community among the people was strong, they worked together a lot, and helped each other out, the further back you go the more obvious it was there was hard-ships. It was extremely diffi-cult when they started out, they had a chunk of land and a box of tools.

See the a preview of the book at prairiesunset.ca.

I respect a wide range of opinions and have earned a reputation of building consen-sus. My style is to listen, anal-yse facts and to come to com-mon sense decisions. Experi-ence has shown me that we accomplish positive outcomes for our community when we consider a broad range of opinions.

I believe my voice around the council table contributes to sound and fiscally responsible decisions.

My professional experience includes elementary school teacher; business and seniors administrator and broadcaster.

These responsibilities enable me to listen carefully, balance a budget and care deeply about all individuals from children to seniors and to communicate with clar-ity.


Your council candidates:

Having owned and operated two businesses, I know the importance of not micro man-aging day to day operations, but always discussing and com-municating with staff, and look-ing for best management prac-tices to reach better outcomes. Whether managing the financial plan or creating a strategic plan that has a long term vision with defined outcomes, its about being transparent and open. I follow new and emerging issues, like impacts with changing weather patterns and how to secure our infrastructure, assist our residents and businesses to be resilient in times of change.

With our population aging we need to ensure our seniors stay connected. It is the main reason I got involved with the WHO Age Friendly Cities Project and today continue to work with my colleagues across Can-ada on new and emerging initiatives.

Judy Brownoff Susan BriceClimate change presents

an uncertain, perhaps hos-tile, future. Local sustainabil-ity requires tough decisions and new directions. Poor choices could damage our exemplary quality of life and economic future. These big issues have to be addressed quickly and your new Coun-cil must provide leadership to accomplish exactly that.

At the CRD, I have worked to insure the sewage project, with a huge budget and tax implications, responds to the big issues and provides clear value for money. I have also moved the Regional Sustainability Strategy closer to being the future sus-tainability blueprint we must have. At Saanich, I have worked with Council to see that decisions are guided by stated sustainability goals and plans. I offer progressive, visionary planning and decision making within a sound fiscal framework and will continue working to insure that you, and your children, see hope for a better future.

I will work to deliver a Saan-ich where families 25 years on can continue to afford to live, work and raise their children. We deserve better solutions for addressing sustainability, Costs of living for all ages, governance that engages resi-dents and climate change.

For me, sustainability includes our environment, communities, food, lifestyles and culture, transportation, jobs and economy. On governance I ask for structured formal access to Councilors who are CRD Directors, a protocol for open mic at the start of council and com-mittees, and live web streaming of council meetings. I support the task force on food security. I believe we should utilize the kitchen scraps program to improve our farmland. I ask for a task force on affordable work-place and retirement home ownership and a municipal focus on growing family sustaining jobs.

The front of my brochure says it all: Committed to com-munity building in Saanich.

I will continue to work to preserve and enhance the qual-ity of life for all Saanich resi-dents; Promote safe, healthy communities by supporting strong police, fire and bylaw enforcement departments; Encourage sustainable develop-ments based on Smart Growth principles, and promote the concept of complete com-munities, with amenities and mixed-use development supporting major urban centres; Support a strong local economy and business opportunities; Promote fiscal responsibility while maintaining essential services and without neglecting important infrastructure projects; Support a co-operative regional vision to planning and transportation choices; Protect the Urban Containment Boundary and ALR lands; Support the Regional Housing Trust Fund and other affordable housing initiatives.

Paul Gerrard Fred HaynesSaanich has good infor-

mation on food security, transportation issues, hous-ing affordability, even how public participation could work. Movement on these issues, even after decades, has either been very slow, made without effective pub-lic consultation or not fully thought out. The results are often increased cost, health and safety issues and in some cases, outraged neigh-bourhoods. From my own preliminary analysis, there are a number of areas where I believe costs could be low-ered without compromising benefits. Moving ahead on important issues requires planning thats flexible enough to accommodate changes as they come.

I believe no one person has the answers, and to involve a range of people in the process of deciding an issue can help find the most effective solutions.

Marsha Henderson

I will continue to focus on delivering results that improve transportation options with better transit ser-vice new sidewalks and bike lanes. I believe in providing affordable housing so families can afford to live and work in Saanich. We need to do more to protect our farmland and promote local food produc-tion. We must continue to lead on climate action and environ-mental protection.

I want to see Saanich adopt an even more open process that encourages residents to participate in the decision-making process. Lets make sure that the decisions we make for Saanichs future come from a community-based process that reflects our community values.

Together we can make Saanich an even better place to live, work, learn and play for our children and grand-children.

There is a need for change on the current Council to bring new ideas forward, and to ensure future challenges and neglected issues, such as the demographic shift and afford-able housing and services, receive the attention they are due. My election to Saanich Council would also result in an elected body that is more representative of our regions age demographics and progres-sive views. I would push for more opportunities for the public to have input on important decisions, such as budget and service priorities, as well as infrastructure projects.

I feel strongly that our elected officials should be more accessible to members of the public and account-able for their decisions, which rarely stack up against the promises and commitments made in various plan-ning documents and in election campaigns. In contrast, I am willing to deliver on my commitments.

Rebecca Mersereau Dean MurdockI was born and raised in

Saanich. It is a great place to live and work. I come from a small business background. I know what it takes to orga-nize people and implement procedures to get the job done. I know how to bring an idea to reality. Building a business from the ground up takes dedication and deter-mination and that is needed on council to address the challenges that face Saanich.

As a young and colourful council member, I would be able to engage part of the community that doesnt usually have an interest in how the community is gov-erned. With only 25 per cent of residents interested in how the municipality operates, there is 75 per cent of residents without a voice. I can bring the whole commu-nity together to strengthen our municipality for genera-tions to come.

The end of daylight savings time brings shorter days and decreased visibility for drivers and pedestrians.

With that, ICBC has created a new pedestrian safety cam-paign. Community police volun-teers will be handing out reflec-tors and road safety tips to pass-ersby at bus stops and various locations.

Every year in November on Vancouver Island, 64 per cent of crashes involving pedestrians

occur in intersections, said Col-leen Woodger, ICBC road safety coordinator.

Part of the campaign is edu-cating pedestrians on the impor-tance of being visible to drivers in the dark.

We actually want people to stop and think about their behaviour when theyre out walking, said Woodger.

Victoria Police Department Sgt. Ron Cronk said 70 per cent more pedestrians are injured in crashes from November to Janu-ary compared to June to August.

Its getting darker, and

theyre simply not being seen. said Cronk.

Never assume the drivers seen you. You cant always assume theyre going to stop at stop signs and traffic signals.

Another part of the campaign is giving tips to drivers for keep-ing an eye out for pedestrians.

Its a shared responsibility, said Woodger.

The campaign is happening all across B.C. The kickoff for Vic-toria took place on Monday in front of the B.C. legislative build-ing.

I am committed to advancing the excellent work we have undertaken to ensure Saanich is accessible, afford-able and inclusive. These key driv-ers underline all my work. Working to the principles embodied in the Sustainable Saa-nich Official Community Plan, combined with the rigour provided by our Strategic Plan, keeps me focussed on delivering the service the citizens of Saanich want and need. My background in climate action is a lens through which I view proposals and activities in Saanich. Our citizens deserve the continued leadership in climate action response we have shown to date. As a rural resident, I am keenly aware of the impor-tance of our valuing our green space, hon-ouring and supporting our agricultural past and future, and protecting and preserving our high quality of life. Combining my local government experience with my business education, I am committed to managing resources wisely.

Because of my experience as a council member and CRD alter-nate director, I know the processes, the people and the issues of Saanich and the Capi-tal Regional District.

My strength is bringing people together to accomplish a common goal. I take the time to listen, to research and then I take action. I can get things done for the people of Saanich and for the Capital Regional District. I am a strong independent voice on Saanich Council and at the CRD.

In addition to my strong community roots I now have nine years of experi-ence on council, and along with that, a proven track record locally and region-ally serving on key committees, such as Saanichs Administrative Traffic Commit-tee, Finance and Personnel Committee, Environmental Advisory Committee and Arts, Culture and Heritage Committee.

Vicki Sanders Nichola WadeHaving spent

my first 20 years growing up on a family farm, I have an understanding of many farming issues. I oper-ated a success-ful business in the region for 25 years and as such have good understand of financial management and stewardship.

I understand the importance of working effectively with stakeholders (community staff, council. etc.) if community concerns are to be heard and acted upon.

I understand the importance of budget-ing and spending within that budget. I believe in sustainability and the balance between social, environmental and eco-nomic interests. I believe in consulting with residents and stakeholders as we plan for the future. I have a strong belief in fair-ness and common sense and have found that most people of all ages and walks appreciate and understand those values.

Leif Wergeland


My training as a teacher at Claremont secondary has helped me to develop the ability to see potential in students. I see this skill as very useful when thinking of Saanich. I believe we have the potential to be the greatest community in Canada to live in. We just need to tap into the our greatest resource; the citizens of Saan-ich. Im also the president of the Royal Oak Community Association.

Every successful organization needs an injection of new ideas and energy periodically in order to stay relevant and vital. I believe Saanich council needs this injection of new voices in the election of 2014. I would like to be a new councillor that brings energy, humility, and a desire to connect with and serve residents on Saanich coun-cil.

Lets make Saanich the greatest and greenest place to live in Canada.

Tom FletcherBlack Press

Transportation Minister Todd Stone has backed away from a proposal by BC Ferries that it should consolidate its two Nanaimo ferry terminals, after objections from B.C. Liberal MLAs on both sides of the route.

Stone said Tuesday that BC Ferries should consider whether it still needs both ferry termi-nals at Nanaimo, a legacy of the NDP governments decision in the 1990s to build Duke Point. BC Ferries calculates that its Nanaimo runs have higher costs and lower ridership than the main Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay run that serves Victoria.

But on Wednesday, Stone ruled out that possibility.

I indicated yesterday that while we werent endorsing or supporting the idea, it may be worthy of consideration, Stone said by phone from Regina Wednesday. Over the last 24 hours, Ive had some very good conversations with my Island colleagues, Don McRae (Comox

Valley) and Michelle Stilwell (Parksville-Qualicum) as well as my pariliamentary secretary Jordan Sturdy (West Vancou-ver-Sea to Sky). Theyve made some very strong and eloquent arguments to me that they dont believe closing one of the two terminals at Nanaimo would be a good thing, not just for the econ-omy of Nanaimo, but potentially the economy of the mid-Island.

However, the completion of the South Fraser Perimeter Road through Delta and expen-sive refits required at the Horse-shoe Bay ferry terminal in North Vancouver could result in a shift of some mainland-to-Nanaimo ferry traffic to the Tsawwassen terminal in the coming years.

BC Ferries has released a new major route strategy that pro-poses ending the Horseshoe Bay-Nanaimo run and putting the traffic on the Tsawwassen-Duke Point route, which has had sailings cut due to low usage.

Stone also ruled out BC Fer-ries suggestion to consider a passenger-only ferry from Departure Bay in downtown

Nanaimo to Horseshoe Bay.Horseshoe Bay has conges-

tion problems on the water as well as on land, where vehicles line up along the highway before stacking up in a two-level trans-fer deck to board the ship. That dock structure is due for replacement at an estimated cost of $200 million.

Horseshoe Bay terminal also serves the Sunshine Coast via Langdale and a third run to Bowen Island with smaller ves-sels. BC Ferries CEO Mike Cor-rigan compares it to an airport with only one runway, with fer-ries lining up to a terminal that can only load and unload one at a time. Tsawwassen has multiple berths that can handle simulta-neous loading and unloading.

Both Stone and Corrigan emphasized that BC Ferries has to look beyond tinkering with under-used routes to keep fare increases in check.

This is a longer-term proj-ect, Corrigan told CKNW radio. Its not something were going to do overnight.

Peninsula Co-op chips in for new climbing wall at UVics CARSATravis PatersonNews staff

A rock climbing wall is becoming one of the most anticipated features of the University of Vic-torias new Centre for Athletics, Recreation and Special Abilities (CARSA).

The 16-metre climbing tower was officially named the Peninsula Co-op Climbing Wall, as Pen-insula Co-op became CARSA and UVics first cor-porate partner on Tuesday.

Avid rock climber and UVic student Jessica Elliott trumpeted the new wall on behalf of stu-dents.

Its going to be awesome to be able to go climb-ing on class breaks and the climbing wall will pro-vide a chance for students to try climbing. Its a super sport with a chance to challenge yourself and socialize at the same time.

Corporate naming partnerships are a growing trend, but its the first of its kind at UVic.

Peninsula Co-op is very proud to be the first corporate naming partner with UVic and CARSA,

said Patti Hunter, chair of the member relations committee at Peninsula Co-op and longtime chair and volunteer with KidSport Victoria.

Peninsula Co-op believes in giving back to the communities where we do business and CARSA is a perfect fit for us, she said.

CARSA is due to open in the spring of 2015. The wall is tallest university climbing wall in B.C.

It is centrally located in Carsas 25-metre (80-foot) atrium.

OUR VIEW

Poppy pridestrengthens

During the Royal Canadian Legions annual Poppy Campaign, some 18 million poppies and 70,000 wreaths, crosses and sprays are distributed across Canada and overseas.

Donated funds gained from the sale of poppies go towards veterans programs in local jurisdictions (a common misunderstanding is that poppies help fund legion halls; however the legions rely solely on memberships and hall rentals to fund their spaces.)

Locally, Legion reps are noticing a spike in demand which they believe is connected to the Ottawa shooting, in which young reservist Cpl. Nathan Cirillo was gunned down by a mentally ill man on Oct. 22. Another hit-and-run incident in Quebec on Oct. 20 that left a soldier dead is creating similar sentiment, and rightfully so.

Canadians have a way of rising above tragedy and finding the common good amongst one another. Instead of anger and war-mongering, we choose a path of understanding, empathy and remembrance.

As the effects of the Ottawa shooting resonate through the House of Commons over the coming months, its important to keep the tenet of freedom trumpeting across the country so our elected officials take note of what matters. The First and Second World Wars were fought and won in the name of freedom. Let us not forget those we lost, and let us not lose sight of how fragile that freedom remains. Heres a salute to the courage of those who came before us.

YOUR VIEW

Re: But what have they done for you lately? Editorial (Nov. 5)

You mention that elderly resi-dents often do not have access to information regarding the candi-dates in the upcoming election.

Worse than that is the fact that I am a Saanich resident who has not received one item of candidate information in my mailbox. Yet I am deluged by all manner of advertis-ing from City of Victoria candidates.

I will presume this to mean that neither the Saanich candidates nor the Victoria candidates have a clue about the boundaries of their own municipalities. Either that, or Can-ada Post doesnt have a clue. None of this is addressed mail, however someone paid to have this informa-tion delivered to my address and those of my neighbours.

I would love to know the point of even voting in an election where the candidates supposed to represent my interests dont even know that I live in their municipality.

I, however, will go out and vote, probably for David Shebib, not because I think he would make a good mayor, but because he is bringing to light the ridiculousness of the number of municipalities and the problems this creates.

Problems I personally have

encountered:1. Contacting the police for an

outdoor situation where the people involved are possibly on one side or other of the boundary between Victoria and Saanich I have experi-enced this on two occasions.

2. I have a L.I.F.E. pass issued by Saanich, and because of the prox-imity of a community centre that offers classes, I decided to register for a class. I followed instructions that sent me to Crystal Pool for approval to register.

After making my way down there on two buses, I find out that they are not involved because I have a Saanich LIFE pass. I contacted the community centre, three short blocks from my home, who said I was ineligible for a half price course because they werent affilliated with Saanich Rec in any way.

Dog owners barkingup wrong tree

Re: Doggie bus rides up for debate, News (Nov. 5)

I am very unhappy with the dog people and their efforts to force us to accept their thoughts (and dogs).

I experience over-crowding on the buses often and wonder where they think the dogs could go.

Also, the allergies and fear of dogs are a concern in allowing them onboard without cages.

Why would Daphne Taylor think I should have to put up with dog hair on my nice clean clothes? I think she is really being unfair as I would not expect her to do so if it was from my animal.

Maybe if they are successful in their petition, I can bring my exotic pets along with my goat, calf and chickens.

New shops openat Uptown

Kelownas Bone and Biscuit natural pet food store is one of four new tenants moving into Uptown ahead of the Christmas season.

Its the latest wave of tenants to open at Uptown, as the Saanich open-air

mall has completed two thirds of its building phases since opening phase one in 2010.

Also moving in this month are Montreal-based Dynamite and Garage, a womens fashion store, Escents Aromatherapy, a Vancouver-based seller of natural botanicals, and American accessories giant Charming Charlie, which carries jewellery, bags, shoes and accessories.

Steve Nash Fitness World is scheduled to open for Dec. 20, while a mix of pop-up

stores will also appear during the holiday season.

Uptown says it is in the planning stage to fill the Best Buy space on Uptowns upper level, one of the remaining retail spaces still vacant.

An announcement on that space is expected in the near future.

Naden band to play at Broadmead

Truelove will be joined by flag lieutenant Tien Nguyen and the formation chief, Mike Feltham, for the Remem-brance Day event.

Broadmead Care, at 4597 Chatterton Way, provides residential care and day pro-grams for hundreds of WWII and Korean War veterans and seniors.

B.C. communities care.So do the Black Press newspapers

that directly serve those communi-ties. Reflecting and raising awareness of that caring spirit is part of the core mandate of every Black Press commu-nity newspaper.

This publication is now part of an exciting new initiative undertaken by Black Press in British Columbia that works to further communicate the good work being done in communi-ties, and provide a new opportunity for organizations and individuals to tap into that fountain of caring.

BlackPress4Good.com is an online platform that brings the popular and successful phenomenon of crowdfund-ing to Black Press readers.

Charitable projects, causes and cam-paigns are now able to deliver their mes-sage on the community level, safely and securely, in an online format to reach the vast digital audience and funding sources.

Crowdfunding provides a means for individuals, organizations and busi-nesses to raise money by appealing to the public, explained Andrew Franklin, project lead for Black Press.

This platform is community focused and will be enhanced through the power of your local newspaper. The audience will be very aware of the campaigns and it will be up to the public as to whether they make a donation or not. Early indications show very positive signs. In addition to the exposure through your community media, the success of the campaigns will also rely on active social media participation. Anyone can set up a campaign, however there

are safeguards in place to ensure each campaign is legitimate, Franklin said.

Black Press has launched this new community service in partnership with FundRazr, the platform at the roots of BlackPress4Good.com.More than 40,000 people and groups around the world have raised in excess of $50 million via FundRazr.

Fundraisers register online via the link on this newspapers website home page, provide information about their objec-tives and fund recipients, and their proj-ect profiles are then posted on a dedi-cated website page to reach out to read-ers, who can monitor the progress of a specific cause. Supporters make their donations via PayPal, a secure and well-established digital payment system.

Under 10 per cent of the total amount raised will be levied by FundRazr, PayPal and Black Press to recover the adminis-

tration, support, marketing and hosting costs associated with this initiative.

Readers will also have the opportunity to be inspired and touched by the good news content of the Black Press 4Good blog, at blogs.blackpress4good.com/. This sites content is solely based on the good news stories being reported in Black Press papers across the province. Be introduced to the countless individu-als and organizations who are making their communities better places to live.

BlackPress4good.com and facebook.com/blackpress4good have been cre-ated to help channel and enhance that caring spirit.

Black Press is Canadas largest inde-pendently owned newspaper company, with more than 150 titles in print and online in British Columbia, Alberta, Washington, Hawaii, California and Ohio.

Open your heart to enjoy a 1970s interpretation of A Midsummer Nights Dream at the University of Victorias Phoenix Theatre this month.

You want to come with an open mind, with an idea of revering Shakespeares themes, but enjoying them with the backdrop of the late 70s, says director Fran Gebhard, scored by the music of the decade and images of the time period.

Virtually all the original wordsmiths text is there, she promises, though references to Athens become the city and other minor alterations.

I like this play very, very much and weve all seen traditional productions of it. I just started listening to the music of the 70s I started with the idea that rather than being fairies, I would think of those gals as sisters in a white which coven.

Harnessing her own experiences from a summer in NYC, and some of the 1970s most iconic music, Gebhard found New York a perfect setting for, as its affectionately called, the Dream. The two pairs of lovers Hermia and Lysander, Helena and Demetrius wander from the safety of Park Avenue to Central Park, and find themselves at the mercy of powerful forces (and their own passions) as clashing gangs manoeuvre for control. As Gebhard points out, in the late 1970s, the 700-acres of Central Park could be dangerous to some, but enticingly exciting to others.

I thought, here was an environment where Titania and her hippie coven, Oberon and his punk gang, and the lovers fleeing the tyranny of parental law could all believably coexist and

collide through one bewitching evening.She has been having tons of fun working with

the 24 theatre students in the cast, her colleague and set designer Allan Stichbury, and the other students on the creative team.

Were having a really good time and the students are enjoying themselves. For me, I want to make this learning experience a positive one, for them and for the audience, Gebhard said.

The setting also allows for a show beyond the acting, allowing for some rock lighting.

We pay to see our favourite stars not only because they sing well, but because they provide a show thats evocative, she said. I like to make a production work on all kinds of levels for all kinds of audience members.

We have a loyal following of season ticket holders who are 50-plus, there may be some purists who wont like the choices, she said, taking full ownership. I take full responsibility for some of the quirky choices.

A Midsummer Nights Dream is onstage at the University of Victorias Phoenix Theatre now through Nov. 22.
