NO CASH BuSkerS Festival shut out of B.C. arts grants Daniel Palmer News staff
An annual arts festival expected to attract up to 200,000 people to downtown Victoria won’t be receiving provincial funding this year, leaving its organizer with some difficult cost-cutting decisions. The free Victoria International Buskers Festival takes place July 19 to 28, featuring actors, musicians, dancers and acrobats on outdoor stages on Government and Langley streets. Organizer John Vickers said he was rejected for B.C. Arts Council and B.C. community gaming grants, despite receiving $20,000 from the province in 2012. “It’s a bitter pill to swallow when you feel you’re doing this for a better downtown, and during the festival itself we really don’t make a lot of revenue,” Vickers said. “I’m looking at cutting back on portable washrooms and seating, for starters.” Last year, the festival created $3 million in direct and indirect spending in the Capital Region, prompting the Capital Regional District and City of Victoria to renew $16,500 in grants for this year’s event. Heritage Canada is also providing a $20,000 grant. But Vickers said even with
strong corporate sponsors, the public funding isn’t enough. “Our annual budget is around $165,000 and we are busy throughout the year. I don’t get (the City of Victoria grant) until the month of the festival … it’s just a struggle,” he said. Last December, Victoria city council approved $156,000 in festival grants, but any increase in funding would need to be a regional discussion, said Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin. “Does every community have a small Canada Day festival, for example, or does everyone contribute to the $200,000 to $300,000 festival that happens in the downtown core? It’s recognizing that these events promote the region,” Fortin said. The B.C. government benefited from the buskers festival last year to the tune of $79,000 in tax revenue, according to an Economic Planning Group report. Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA Carole James said she’s surprised the province hasn’t stepped up to fund a festival that has proven itself as an economic driver. “It’s very short sighted to not approve this grant, particularly when you’re a month and a half away from the festival,” James said. The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development is providing $16.8 million in arts grants this year through the B.C. Arts Council. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Capital Region approves funding, but more needed Daniel Palmer News staff
The CRD is providing a $7,000 grant for the International Buskers Festival, but organizer John Vickers said his society doesn’t qualify for a portion of the much more stable $2 million allotted by the CRD in annual operating grants. “Operating grants tend to be for larger orga-
nizations doing year-round programming,” said James Lam, the CRD’s arts development program manager. But there are exceptions. The Victoria Jazz Society and Victoria Film Festival receive operating grants of $54,000 and $30,000 respectively. Lam said Vickers has never submitted an application for an operating grant. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Project introduces elementary students to world of creative writing Daniel Palmer News staff
It’s easy to envy kids for their boundless creativity. Imaginary friends, stuffed toys with elaborate back stories and innate curiosity mean creative writing is generally second-nature to most children, right around the age when they head off to school for the first time. For the past two years, Paisley Aiken and her team of volunteers have been introducing elementary and middle school kids to the world of creative writing with a program called Story Studio. The goal is to coach youth through the writing process and instil a lifelong love of the written word. “One of the most powerful aspects of the program is the ownership the kids feel over their story,” Aiken says. Over a three-day period, each child comes up with a character and story, which then gets pub-

On Wednesday, Aiken and her team were in Vic West elementary’s kindergarten class with freelance writer Korina Miller to show kids how it’s done. “The first day we go in, we have the kids come up with a character, and we do a lot of interactive activities around each step,” Aiken
says. “With the younger kids, we’ll use clay and we’ll do some drama to help them get ideas to develop their character, then we’ll set up sensory stations and get kids to describe their settings.” The non-profit program relies on private donations and the help of sponsors like RBC’s Cook Street branch, whose employees stayed after-hours on Thursday to type
up the stories of each Vic West student. “We bind their stories into little books and they get to bring it home,” Aiken says. “The kids are thrilled … suddenly, they see they’re an author.” To learn more about Story Studio’s summer programs, visit storystudio.ca or call 250-388-4418. dpalmer@vicnews.com
More jobs expected as employers plan to hire Daniel Palmer News staff
A new survey suggests over a quarter of Capital Region employers plan to hire more staff this summer, largely thanks to an upswing in the construction and tourism sectors. The Manpower employment outlook survey found 27 per cent of surveyed employers in Greater Victoria plan to hire in the upcoming quarter (from July to September), while only three per cent of employers are planning cutbacks. Removing seasonal hiring data,
the survey is still an 11 per cent increase in planned hiring from the same time in 2012, said Jeff Polkinghorne, Manpower spokesman. The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce is tracking a similar trend, said chief executive officer Bruce Carter. “We’re certainly seeing increased activity, really, across all sectors,” Carter said. Commercial construction remains strong, but the housing starts still haven’t seen a postrecession turnaround, he added. Tech manufacturing, knowledge-
“We’re certainly seeing increased activity, really, across all sectors.” – Bruce Carter based service providers and the marine sectors have never been stronger in Victoria, Carter said. “The anecdotal evidence I’m hearing is there’s a lot more U.S. cash in the local system, which would indicate there are more U.S. tourists returning, and that there’s more disposable income from those tourists.”
Last week, Statistics Canada reported 95,000 mostly full-time jobs were created during the month of May across the country, the highest single month of employment growth in more than a decade. Over the last 12 months, the Canadian economy added about 250,000 net jobs. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Annual festival attracts thousands of visitors to town in August Don Descoteau News staff
It’s kind of like a three-headed dragon, just not as scary. The annual Victoria Dragon Boat Festival features the races themselves, which attract 2,500 or so competitors to the Inner Harbour for one mid-summer weekend. The event, set for Aug. 16 to 18, also features a cultural, food and small business component centred at Ship Point. Then there’s the heartstringtugger: the fundraising aspect for the B.C. Cancer Foundation. “The festival has raised $438,000 over five years for the foundation, and the great
thing is all the money stays in Victoria,” said Mark Mawhinney, board chair for the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Society. The society hosted a kickoff breakfast Wednesday at The Inn at Laurel Point to talk about supporting local business as well as how it encourages fitness and health in the community. The competition provides a huge boost to the local economy – of the 2,500 paddlers about 1,500 will arrive from out of town, staying two or three nights or more and filling up local hotel rooms. As well, Mawhinney said, an estimated 90,000 people will watch the races, take in musical and cultural entertainment and browse through the multitude of onsite vendor offerings. While the festival is free for the public to attend, Mawhinney is proud of the fact the society is mainly self-sufficient

and does not rely on government funding to stay afloat, so to speak. Operating money comes primarily from paddlers’ entry fees, while sponsorships and any grant money secured goes toward paying co-op students to stage the weekend events. It’s clear from the number of teams entering this competition – upwards of 80 boatloads are expected for this year’s 19th annual festival – that the sport has taken off. “It really the most accessible sport that I’ve ever been involved in,” says Glenys Haskins, the society’s general manager and a paddler herself. “With dragon boating, it’s a sport that you feel like a winner all the way through.” For more information on the festival, visit victoriadragonboat.com. ddescoteau@vicnews.com

At Cottonwood preschool on the Queen Alexandra Centre grounds, Mohamed Amer, 4, left, Ella and Liam Shaw, both 5, check out a first-edition 1957 Cat in the Hat, signed and donated to the centre by Dr. Seuss himself, more than 50 years ago. A local doctor spotted the book at an auction in Victoria and has donated it back to the Saanichbased medical centre for children.

Cat in the Hat comes home Signed 1957 edition returned to Queen Alexandra Centre Edward Hill News staff
More than 50 years ago, The Cat in the Hat arrived at the doorstep of the Queen Alexandria Solarium, a 1957 first edition signed by Dr. Seuss himself. Theodor Geisel, a.k.a. Dr. Seuss, was known for sending his books to children’s hospitals, and he dedicated this copy to the sick kids of the Solarium, now called the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health. But like the mischievous and enigmatic cat that disappeared, the book vanished at some point in the following decades. It resurfaced in January this year in a Kilshaw’s auction. By a stroke of fate, a medical doctor looking for furniture saw it online, pre-auction. He recognized its significance and ponied up the hard cash. “I went to the auction specifically to (buy the book) and return it to its previous owner,” said Robert O’Connor, whose practice is in Metchosin. “The book is dedicated to the children of the Queen Alexandra Centre. I wanted to send it back where it’s supposed to be, rather than sitting on someone’s bookshelf.”
Kilshaw’s estimated the signed copy would fetch a few hundred dollars, but O’Connor entered a bidding war and got it for $550 – “under budget,” he said. He verified the authenticity of the Dr. Seuss signature with Neil Williams, an expert in children’s books in Victoria. “The book was intact. No one coloured in it or ripped out pages,” said O’Connor, who relocated from Twillingate, NL, in November 2011. “I sat down and read the story.” Kilshaw’s and Williams waived their fees once they understood the book would be donated, once again, to the Queen Alexandra Centre. Through the auction process, O’Connor discovered the book had been sold for 25 cents at a garage sale at Goward House in 1992 to a woman who collected children’s books. She didn’t notice it was a signed edition until 2002, when she took it off the shelf to read to her young daughter, who was being treated at the centre. “The book somehow got lost. There is no history of when it came here. It was at least in the late 1950s or early ’60s,” said Jessica Woollard with the Children’s Health Foundation of
Vancouver Island. She said the foundation has received some interesting donations – most recently $10,000 from old gold fillings from two dentists; and $1,100 from the outcome of a contest via Twitter by the owner of the Indianapolis Colts football team – but the Dr. Seuss book holds a special place in their hearts. “We know how significant Dr. Seuss is to kids and for a centre that helps kids with special needs, this is amazing,” she said. The centre plans to display the book in a “kid-high” glass case on permanent loan from O’Connor. The Cat in the Hat was innovative children’s writing for its day – and now – in terms of weaving together layered storytelling, education and entertainment. O’Connor said Geisel likely recognized the Queen Alexandra Solarium as innovative itself, due to its pastoral location by the ocean that offered alternative therapy for kids with polio and tuberculosis. The Cat in the Hat is a story written for Victoria he said, as it starts out with kids stuck inside on a rainy day. “I’m happy the book has a good home.” editor@saanichnews.com

Ron Jenkins, 78, has compiled country music from south Vancouver Island musicians.
Local musician celebrates South Island music history Charla Huber News staff
Toe tapping country tunes motivate Ron Jenkins. They have his entire life. Jenkins spent 20 years performing with his band The Gamblers from 1969 to 1989 at dozens of venues throughout Greater Victoria and south Vancouver Island. On stage Jenkins’ role was lead guitar and singing harmony. “The calendar was full all the time. There were so many venues back then, there were more venues than bands,” Jenkins said. When Jenkins would get called for gigs if his band was already booked, he would call up other bands to fill in the spot. “I felt like a booking agent,”
he said. Venues on the West Shore are limited these days, he admits. “It all started to go downhill when canned music came in. Just people playing records all day on a stage,” said the 78-yearold Metchosin resident. The gigs are different, but Jenkins still works as a musician in a duo band called Back in the Day. “We play mostly at care centres. The shows are usually an hour because the people, they are old and get tired,” he said. Music has always been a passion and work with The Gamblers offers tangible reminders. “Music mostly built our house,” he said. As a way to help others remember the bustling live music scene Jenkins, along with his wife San-
dra Jenkins, compiled a fourdisc collection called Back in the Day, a country music history of southern Vancouver Island. Music from 45 solo artists and bands are featured including The Hometowners, Midnight Ramblers and Big Muddy. Most of the featured music was transferred from live recordings, vinyl, reel-to-reel and even VHS tape audio. “It’s simplicity. I grew up with this music,” Jenkins said. The CD release party will be held June 23 from 1 to 5 p.m. at the Langford Legion, 761 Station Ave. “I will be inviting the musicians that are still alive to come,” Jenkins said of the open mic event. Admission is free and the CD compilation will be sold for $45. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Spread the costs of festival funding It’s taken only three years for the Victoria International Buskers Festival to face cutbacks and feel a funding squeeze. The festival that draws entertainers from around the world, and several hundred thousand people downtown, estimated it generated some $3 million in economic activity over the week-long event last year. Like Symphony Splash, JumpShip, and Canada Day and B.C. Day celebrations, the buskers festival is concentrated in the picturesque Inner Harbour and Government Street, where people from all corners of Greater Victoria stream in for free (or donation-based) public summer festivals and entertainment. What’s concerning about cutbacks at the busker festival – cuts in expenses like portable toilets and grandstand seating – isn’t that it was denied funding by the B.C. Arts Council, but that the vast majority of grants from local governments comes from the City of Victoria. Victoria is giving about $9,000 in grants plus in-kind services from city staff. The Capital Region granted the festival about $7,000, funding ultimately gleaned from 13 CRD municipalities. Residents from Saanich, the West Shore, Esquimalt, Oak Bay and areas farther afield enjoy the benefits of downtown summer festivals, but their respective municipal governments nearly get off nearly scot free. Victoria’s relatively small number of taxpayers help foot a disproportionate amount of the bill for what are regional events that showcase the city. The inequitable funding for these festivals could be the best argument yet for regional amalgamation. As the seat of government, the home to many jobs and businesses, and the hub for tourism, downtown Victoria needs to remain vibrant, active and an attractive place to visit. Through the CRD, local governments need to find a cost sharing formula that allows stable, long-range funding for events in the core. Allowing festivals to scrape by year after year is bad for tourism and bad for the city’s reputation. Our many local governments need to think about the greater good of the city beyond their own borders. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

Former senator Michael Kirby, the first chairman of the Mental Health Commission of Canada, noted mental health and substance use represent about 35 per cent of the disease burden in Canada, yet receive about five per cent of the resources.
“Road crashes don’t come close to taking the toll of mental illness and problem substance use.” Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond, B.C.’s Representative for Children and Youth, noted this year that lack of political leadership has left this province with a fragmented, inadequate system of supports for youth facing mental illness. A new government has the chance to address these problems, and provide adequate resources and a collaboration strategy linking health and social services sectors. We should make sure mental health and problem substance use services step out of the shadows. Michelle Fortin is chairwoman of the B.C. Addiction Specialists and Allied Professionals.

Admirals project could shape Esquimalt Village plan The proposed development at 622 Admirals Rd. is big for Esquimalt in more ways than one. At 12 storeys, it would be the tallest building in the area. Built over more than one lot, it would dominate that end of Esquimalt. I think it’s too big. But with the Legion reputedly on its last legs, the liquor store rumoured to be closing and the bong shop mascot achieving late-
night TV fame, I wonder who will take over that site if you say no to Monimos. It’s a pretty grim corner and could soon be derelict. In this context, I think the development is a good thing. What will be important here though, if the development is built, is that it remain permanently as seniors housing and not become general single occupancy rental units. I urge
a building of the scale proposed would be a defining part of it. I think its size, design and proposed use need to be considered in the context of where we want the village concept to go.

development’s favour, especially if council says no to this project. It’s hard to see other developers coming forward and hard, then, to see the village redevelopment taking place anytime soon. So, I’m torn about this development given the pros and cons. What I know for sure is that the Esquimalt Village Project is a critical for Esquimalt’s future and
council to use whatever tools they have to make this “seniors only” requirement stick, permanently. With the existing Ovation building just over the road, this development would anchor the Admirals end of the Esquimalt Village Project and may provide an impetus for others to invest in the village. To my mind, that is another factor in the
Readers respond: Target TV ads, regional policing, parking head-scratcher Target marketing plan offensive use of jingle Has anyone else been outraged by Target Canada’s TV ad campaign, which uses the theme for Mister Rogers’ Neighbourhood? I was shocked that the late Fred Rogers’ company would give Target permission to use this song to convince Canadians they are a friendly, neighbourhood store. I contacted Rogers’ company, and in an email was told they are not allowed to comment on my question due to their arrangement with Target. I asked them if Target made a large
donation to their company and/or to some charitable organization in exchange for permission to use this song, but again they would not answer. While Target has, at least in the U.S., agreed not to sell genetically engineered salmon in its stores – a positive step – for the most part we are getting another version of WalMart, Safeway, Costco, et.al. Most of the products they sell can be bought in Canadian chain stores like London Drugs and Shoppers Drug Mart anyway. Do we need another U.S. corporate store selling the same toxic chemicals packaged as food, shampoo, laundry detergent, etc.?
I for one will not be setting foot in any Target store, and will continue to try and support local businesses who sell non-GMO, organic, local and sustainable food and other products. Helene Harrison Victoria

Ex-teacher on trial blames roommate Edward Hill News staff
Despite a number of damning coincidences regarding an allegedly stolen camera and an anonymous email account, a former Vic High teacher adamantly denies stalking two women, and suggested his former roommate framed him. In Victoria provincial court on Friday, Crown prosecutor Chandra Fisher crossexamined 46-year-old Frank Canacari. He faces two counts of criminal harassment and two counts of unlawfully being in a dwelling house related to complaints made by Tracy Gershman and Erin Meyer. He was arrested at Vic High in June 2010. Fisher focused on two main points of evidence: an anonymous Gmail account used to send harassing emails to Meyer; and a camera and computer holding photos indicating someone broke into Gershman’s home.
The camera, the computer Canacari testified a computer and a camera had both been stolen from his home on May 21, 2010. Police later found the computer in the garage in his house. Canacari said the camera reappeared on his back doorstep. Both held photos of Gershman’s underwear and the interior of her home.
“The computer and the camera were stolen in May 2010 and you reported it to your insurance,” Fisher said. “Yet both magically reappeared at the house.” “Yes,” Canacari answered. “That’s amazing,” Fisher said. “That’s how I felt,” he replied. “I don’t know how (the computer) got into the garage. It was stolen,” Canacari said. “I never saw it until I saw a photo the police showed me. I did not know the computer was placed in my garage. It was taken from my home and I made a claim.” Pressing Canacari on the photos of Gershman’s home, the former teacher suggested his roommate Terry Bogue, who had moved out of Canacari’s home on May 20, had stolen the gear, planted the incriminating photos and returned both items to Canacari’s home. Bogue, in his late 50s or early 60s, was described in court as a guy who enjoys marijuana. “(Bogue) broke into your home on May 21, 2010, stole the computer and the camera, on which he placed illegal material?” Fisher asked. “I believe it was him. I told West Shore RCMP I believe it was him, yes,” Canacari said. Canacari admitted he had been on Gershman’s property and peered in though a patio door, but denied entering her home.
He said he had come to her home to retrieve some personal items. “I never entered her house ... I did not have the camera that day,” Canacari said. “You want me to say Terry Bogue, so I’m saying Terry Bogue is who had the camera. ... I did not take those pictures (of Gershman’s home).” Canacari said the camera reappeared on his back porch a few days after being stolen. “Wouldn’t it make more sense if Bogue put incriminating pictures on the camera and turned them over to the police?” Fisher asked. “I don’t know. You should ask him.”
The Gmail account In terms of the Gmail account used to send anonymous harassing emails, Fisher brought out evidence to show the account had been accessed both on the computer at Canacari’s home (that was later allegedly stolen but found in the garage) and from a computer at Vic High. On May 20, 2010, police called Canacari and told him to no longer contact Meyer, and he admitted he tried to delete the Gmail account. Canacari said a note on his desk at home in Bogue’s handwriting had the Gmail account and password information, and said he felt he was being “set up” regarding
what was on the computer. He didn’t keep Bogue’s alleged note. “You are alleging Terry Bogue fabricated the whole history of emails to Erin (Meyer)?” Fisher said. “I said I didn’t do it,” he said. Fisher said the Gmail account was accessed from a Vic High computer on May 17, 2010. Canacari testified on that day, he brought Bogue to Vic High with him and allowed his roommate access to a computer in his class, allowed him to “wander through the school,” and take a book from the library, while Canacari taught his students. Fisher said details of the anonymous emails sent to Meyer suggested the author was watching and following her at her house and her boyfriend’s house. “Clearly the author of these emails was following and watching her.” “I did not follow her. I did not watch her,” Canacari said. Canacari’s trial in provincial court is schedfuled to continue on June 26. editor@saanichnews.com

a producer this just ties in so well with what I do and love.” It’s a return to the scene for some longtime Feasters, the venue is a portionedoff parcel of Sea Bluff Farm, which hosted the event in 2000. “I’m looking forward to seeing what the other chefs and vendors have put together because as a farmer I don’t get to go out that often,” she said with a laugh. “I commute from my house to the greenhouse and back again.” The farm and farmer were “broken in” hosting a friend’s wedding and now they’re ready for the influx of up to 600 foodies Sept. 22. “Feast of Fields likes to highlight the farms around Vancouver Island,” said Jennifer Freeman of FarmFolk CityFolk which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. “It’s a very fun and tasty way to support the food security movement.”
Feast of Fields started on Vancouver Island in 1998 and has been held twice in Metchosin, at Sea Bluff and Metchosin Sheep Farm in 2010. Over the 15 years, FarmFolk CityFolk has donated more than
“It’s a very fun and tasty way to support the food security movement.” – Jennifer Freeman $100,000 back into B.C. communities. Feast proceeds these days are invested in Vancity’s microloan program for local farmers and food producers. “Food security is often in the hands of private endeavours,” Freeman said. “So by creating the microloan partnership with the (Island Chef’s Collaborative) and Vancity, it helps somebody with the vision and goal to
create further food in their community apply for a loan.” The palatable event features food by Island chefs, farmers and food artisans and is paired with locally produced wines and ales, ciders and mead. “It’s a great festival atmosphere and you’re with a bunch of like-minded people,” Hamersley Chambers said. “They’re enjoying the fruits of the labour, and stuff tastes so good at these events, I think people are inspired to think about their food.” Only 600 tickets, at $95 each, are available and can be bought online through farmfolkcityfolk.ca or in person at Cook Culture (1317 Blanshard St.) and must be bought in advance. “You’re getting out of the city and seeing where your food is coming from,” Freeman said. “It’s also a great way to showcase different businesses that are working hard to support the local food scene.”

Camosun, PISE honour deceased sports innovator Danielle Pope News staff
Gord Sleivert’s wife spoke with a tremble in her voice when she told the crowd her husband brought as much energy, support and perseverance to their family as he did to the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence (PISE). “All the wonderful things everyone has said about Gord today, he was that person for our family, too, the one who encouraged all of us to keep going,” Kari said. “He’s right there, on our shoulders now, pushing us on.” Camosun College, PISE and the Canadian Sport Institute announced three legacy initiatives to honour Sleivert, former vice-president of the Canadian Sport Centre Pacific, who died suddenly on April 2, 2012. In a celebratory memorial held at the Interurban centre on June 6, representatives from the organizations unveiled that PISE is officially opening and dedicating its new track and training zone to Sleivert – a zone that covers the 9,000-square-foot former concrete patio on the south end of the building, now outfitted with a rubber-based sport training surface bordered by two spring tracks and lights for year-round use by athletes, students and the community. The training zone was a long-standing dream for Sleivert, who was described as a visionary for the centre. In addition, the Canadian Sport Institute lab, within the PISE build-
ing, will be renamed the Dr. Gord Sleivert Sport Performance Lab to commemorate Sleivert’s dedication to sport science and the creation of a “betterthan-world-class” daily training environment. Finally, Camosun College has created The Gord Sleivert Award: Commitment and Perseverance, aimed to help hardworking students who demonstrate Sleivert’s traits: commitment, perseverance and a passion for the community. “For me, family was always a part of the process, and Gord would take the time to check in and not just find out if I was OK, but find out how my family was doing. That was huge,” said Olympic rowing silver medalist Dave Calder, who spoke at the memorial. Calder said Sleivert’s influence on his training first started in 2003, with the implementation of “elaborate” ice training vests. In 2008 and 2012, Sleivert facilitated heatacclimatization training tents for Calder and the team to adjust to the hot weather of Beijing, then altitude training. Others remembered Sleivert as a man who asked “what if,” even to the detriment of his supervisors. “He always knew exactly what to say, and when to say it,” said Trent Stellingwerff, innovation and research lead for the Canadian Sport Institute, who will take on some of Sleivert’s projects. “Nothing is as fragile as an athlete’s psyche, and Gord really got that. There was never any ‘I can’t’ only ‘I can’

Victoria composer, pianist, and educator Christopher Reiche will play for a day keying his way through one melody 840 times in the Erik Satie piece Vexations. “It is rumoured that it was found behind his piano after he died and they were cleaning out his apartment,” Reiche said. There were only vague instructions, he added. “It wasn’t until 50 years ago that some avant garde musicians, most notably John Cage, thought ‘let’s try this repetition of 840 times.’” Reiche discovered the piece early in his musical career during a visit to the National Art Gallery of Canada where a video of musician Rober Racine playing Vexations was on exhibit. “I saw this exhibit and I was floored by it. I didn’t know that music could even take 24 hours. The idea of the massiveness of this task, and the fact that it was possible for one person to do it, drew me in.” Reiche’s first go at Vexations lasted more than 26 hours. This time he hopes to make it a 24-hour concert at Open Space starting at noon on June 21.

Christopher Reiche will sit at the piano for 24-hours playing Erik Satie’s Vexations.
“Those last two-and-half hours were just too much,” he explained. To prepare, like any marathoner, he’s practised physically and done various meditations and exercises to be mentally ready. He’ll also cut out coffee days prior to the event. “Mentally it’s more meditation and just feeling the passage of time. This worked for me before, the idea of being able to feel what an hour feels like, just to be aware of the passage of time,” he said. “I want to be centred and rested.” Endurance will be the key to
completing this musical foray but the winner will be new music programming at Open Space where Reiche is the new music co-ordinator. “We’re asking people to invest in contemporary music,” said Helen Marzolf, executive director for Open Space. The performance fits nicely with what they try to do at the Fort Street location. “We basically are a space where we help artists realize their vision, and our projects are always different,” said Marzolf. Founded in 1972, Open Space is a non-profit, artist-run centre that supports professional artists utilizing hybrid and experimental approaches to media, art, music, and performance. “We’ve done many durational works, whether it’s visual or music. … It’s just exciting to try these things and see how they play out,” said Marzolf. Reiche tackles Vexations at Open Space, 510 Fort St. starting Friday, June 21 at noon and finishing around the same time the next day. Sponsor a repetition for $10 or three for $25 at Open Space, or online at openspace. ca/vexations_fundraiser. Open Space is open noon to 5 p.m., Tuesday through Saturday with admission by donation, except for ticketed events. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

First sewage work project expected to be announced Daniel Palmer News staff
Daniel Palmer/News staff
Resident green thumb
The first major construction contract in the Capital Regional District’s sewage treatment project is expected to be awarded today (June 14) to upgrade the Craigflower pump station. CRD staff are recommending directors approve a bid of $11.5 million from Jacob Bros. Construction Ltd. to replace the aging pump station, built in 1971. The pump station will convey household waste water from Langford, Colwood, View Royal, Esquimalt and Songhees and Esquimalt First Nations to a future treatment plant at McLoughlin Point. Work is expected to begin next month and completed by the summer of 2014, according to a CRD staff report.
Sheldon Fox, Our Place resident gardener, plants swiss chard in the City of Victoria’s edible garden at Centennial Square. Our Place will serve the vegetables and herbs to its clients, up to 1,200 each day. Vegetables include potatoes, carrots, parsnips, peas, kale, purple orach (mountain spinach), tomatillos (green tomatoes), chard and strawberries. Herbs include rosemary, thyme, oregano, sage, chives and lavender. The city hopes the garden spurs conversation about food security in the Capital Region.

Denys Cook hosts show at Cedar Hill arts centre Artist Denys Cook is displaying a sample of his work at the Arts Center at Cedar Hill this week, returning to the forum he once taught up-and-coming painters. Cook, 93, a wildlife artist who rose to prominence in Canada in the 1970s and ’80s, will show 15 or 20 of his favourite acrylic and water colour wildlife and nature paintings, and a few rarely seen British scraperboard pieces, a technique of scratching away India ink painted over white porcelain. The show runs until June 17 in the cafe gallery of the Cedar Hill arts centre. Community Arts Council of Greater Victoria board member Sheila Blake said the galleries are booked solid, but she invited

Cook to show his work, thanks to a last minute cancellation. “It’s very hard. You have to book months ahead,” she said. “There are so many artists in Victoria. We have 500 in the community arts council alone.” Cook taught painting at the centre about 12 years ago. He stopped painting this year after his eyesight started failing to a point he couldn’t see detail. He uses a magnifying device to sketch. Cook, who survived five years as a prisoner in a German POW camp in the Second World War, had a successful career as a high-ranking Alberta civil servant, and then a long and lucrative career as a professional artist, hasn’t displayed his
work in a gallery in decades. By his own count, he has 900 paintings in storage, and a few dozen in his apartment at the Victorian McKenzie seniors home in Saanich. “I’m enjoying showing my work again,” he said. “I’m limited to what I can do now.” For more on the Art Centre at Cedar Hill, see saanich.ca/parkrec/recreation/ arts. editor@saanichnews.com

Reduce Belly Fat! Increase Energy! Testosterone levels begin to diminish in men around age 30. In fact, by the time men are 60 years old, they typically produce 60% less testosterone than they did at age 20 (a man’s sexual peak). Many men over the age of 35 may already be feeling the effects of lower testosterone including:
Increased Belly Fat Low Energy
Low Libido Mood Changes
Decreased Muscle Strength Prostate Problems and more...
Unfortunately at the same time testosterone is decreasing, estrogen levels are increasing, causing further muscle loss and gain in body fat, making it extremely difficult to maintain a healthy metabolism. Along with a program of proper nutrition and regular exercise, researchers have discovered a group of naturally proven nutrients that can help you safely reduce excess estrogen while maximizing testosterone levels.
Rate of Testosterone Secretion in Milligrams
Ultimate Male Energy™ contains 100% natural ingredients like: Chrysin, Stinging Nettle Root Extract, Indole-3-Carbinol and Broccoli Sprout Powder to help restore healthy, youthful hormone balance by positively affecting both estrogen and testosterone production, which ultimately helps a man look, feel and perform at his best.

Dr. John Kinahan, a urologist, urges men over 40 to get a prostate check up this Father’s Day.
COUPON
No one is ever excited for a prostate exam. “It’s just a finger exam, a digital rectal exam. That part takes four seconds. If you include the entire visit it takes about five minutes, once a year,” said Dr. John Kinahan, working at Victoria General and Royal Jubilee hospitals. The urologist explained the rectal exam is used to see if there is any hardening of the prostate. “Even though it’s unpleasant it shouldn’t prevent people from getting checked. This can prevent long-term complications.” If prostate cancer is diagnosed early it’s fairly able to treat, said Kinahan, explaining the options of surgery, radiation and hormone treatment. “When I started my practice (in 1995) a lot of my patients were coming in dying of prostate cancer,” he said. “Now there is way less (prostate cancer) being found in advanced stages. It makes my job more enjoyable not working with sick old guys dying and instead working with young healthy men.” Each year around Father’s Day and during National Prostate Health Month in November, Kinahan notices a spike in patients coming in, due to the fundraisers for prostate cancers. “I always tell people to get a physical on their birthday or near their birthday so they remember,” he said. “Father’s Day is good because we are reminded of our father’s health through events like the (Royal Roads) father’s day run.” When discussing these exams Kinahan prefers the term prostate check-up to a cancer screening. “When you say screening it’s implied you are taking a bunch of dirt, throwing it at a screen and hoping to find pebbles,” he said, explaining many people have their check up and are healthy. According to the Canadian Urology Association 14 per cent of men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and four per cent will die from it. “Prostate cancer does kill people. It quietly maims them.,” Kinahan said. The CUA guidelines suggest any man over 40 should be tested every two years. “Anyone who is 40 to 45 years old should think about having their first (prostate-specific antigen test). By 50 they should have already had it,” Kinahan said. If issues are found during a prostate checkup doctors may require a biopsy. “A biopsy is uncomfortable but we often give them sedation and make them comfortable and they forget the whole thing,” Kinahan said. Still, getting men to go for a prostate check up isn’t always easy for doctors. “I could write a requisition for 100 men and 90 would get it done and 10 just won’t,” he said. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Victoria Triathlon offers mix of talent Saanich’s largest annual sporting event celebrates fitness for the 18th straight year Don Descoteau News staff
Matt Patriquin remembers the first triathlon he ever did. It was four years ago this weekend at Elk Lake. “Even though I hadn’t done one before, I picked the half-iron,” he recalled over coffee on a break from his day job at Fort Street Cycle. While he admits tackling such distances – a 1.9-kilometre swim, 90K bike ride and 21.1K run – might have seemed to some a brutal way to break into the sport, it gave him a taste of what he could accomplish in this multi-discipline fitness test. “You get bitten by the ‘tri bug’ and once you’ve done one, it’s just a matter of when the next ones will happen,” said Patriquin, a Saanich resident. “I don’t know of anyone who has done a triathlon who doesn’t want to do it again.” In the time since, he’s racked up about 20 or so races, including last month’s Subaru Shawnigan Lake Triathlon, where he finished fifth overall and first in the highly tor, said the sport’s profile has definitely competitive men’s 30 to 34 age class.

It’s all part of the experience, of which the camaraderie and support from fellow athletes are a big part, he added. “Even the people in your category who you’re racing against, we’re all good buddies and we can all appreciate a good performance.” After 20-odd triathlons Patriquin feels qualified to make that judgment, especially about himself. “I know what’s involved in having a successful day and what can cause you to have a bad day.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com

Give them power. Give them confidence. Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money. These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends. All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday. And even better... there are no collections required.
It’s so easy to get started‌ call

Worldwide, children live with horrific memories of genocide and war. Cheryl Heykoop is searching for the best way to share it.

The children would talk about their experiences anonymously, she added, but often the interviewers would tell other people. “I found it probably caused further harm to the children,” Heykoop said. “Sierra Leone was the first truth commission to involve kids.” There are plans to set up a truth commission in Uganda.

Chrysler Royal Sedan is ‘Dead Cool’ Nick Alexis originally bought his 1947 Chrysler Royal Sedan 35 years ago to build a hot rod to accommodate a family with two young daughters. They were ALYN EDWARDS growing out of the 1929 CLASSIC Model A Ford hot rod RIDES he had owned since he was 16. The resident of Coldstream, near Vernon, started to build the car but changed houses as his family grew. In doing so, he lost his shop. The old Chrysler was put into storage along with the Ford Model A coach hot rod as he pursued a career as a cable splicer with BC Tel, now TELUS. When his daughters were approaching driving age, Nick promised he would build each of them a classic car. He calls his property Mopar Meadows and the cars had to be Chrysler products. He helped his oldest daughter buy a 1966 Plymouth Satellite and restore it to drive in her final high school
Nick Alexis plans to display his highly modified 1947 Chrysler sedan at local car shows in B.C. and then ‘drive the wheels off it.’

transmission acquired when he was 20 in celebration of getting full-time employment with Okanagan Tel. When Nick retired in 2002 and his daughters had moved out, he dragged the 1947 Chrysler out of storage to resume work on it after more than 30 years. By 2006, he had decided to reengineer the whole car with a front frame and suspension from a 1968 Chrysler New Yorker to handle a 1957 Chrysler 392 cubic inch hemi engine. The results of a six-year build during which Nick worked on the car every day are spectacular and worldclass. The modifications

are subtle and modest, including a lowered roof, flared wheel openings, flush-mounted window glass, custom exhaust openings in the rear bumper, door handles removed and side trim reworked to match body modifications. The sumptuous “harvest” colour all-leather interior with goat hair carpets features a custom dash with air conditioning ports and modern sound equipment. Other comforts include tilt and telescopic steering wheel, electric windows, seat, door and trunk openers and remote engine starting. The vintage Chrysler hemi engine has been modernized with FAST computerized sequential fuel injection. Nick says more than 10,000 hours of labour were spent building this car. Everything that went into this car originated with Chrysler Corporation. The car manufacturer should copy this car and release it as its latest retro model capitalizing on the success of the PT Cruiser and the new Dodge Charger. This is a big, roomy, fast classic sedan that was once among the most popular cars of its day. “It’s a big fat car with a big fat engine for a big fat driver,” Nick says with a grin. He plans to display the car at shows in the Okanagan and Lower Mainland. This version is extremely powerful
with its highly modified hemi engine and four-speed automatic transmission. “I call the car Dead Cool and I intend to drive the wheels off it,” Nick says. “Now we will live by the rule: New rear tires every year.” Alyn Edwards is a classic car enthusiast and partner in Peak Communicators, a Vancouver-based public relations company. aedwards@peakco.com The customized cabin of the 1947 Chrysler Royal is trimmed in ‘harvest’ leather and has all modern appliances.
The 1947 Chrysler Royal sedan features dual exhaust outlets built into the rear bumper, an original backup light and has a set of custom-matched luggage.
GM to make door unlock, remote start standard Remotely unlocking doors, activating horn and lights and remote start for factory-equipped vehicles are among services General Motors will make standard via smartphone for five years through the OnStar RemoteLink Mobile App. GM has announced the new RemoteLink Key Fob Services program for OnStar-equipped 2014 Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac models – even if the owner declines to pay for other OnStar services. It is the broadest deployment of remote services offered through a mobile app by any auto manufacturer.

The complete set of RemoteLink Mobile App services remain available with a trial or paid OnStar subscription. Additional services include monitoring the status of the vehicle’s operating systems, including remaining oil life, fuel level and estimated range, tire pressure, and fuel economy statistics. It also includes a one-touch connection to an OnStar Advisor for a simple request or emergency need. RemoteLink Mobile App users with the Directions and Connections plan can also send Turn-by-Turn directions directly from their smartphone to their vehicle. Once a customer takes delivery of an eligible 2014 GM vehicle they can simply download the free application to a compatible smartphone and agree to terms.

N o c r a s h t e s t d u m m i e s w e r e h a r m e d i n t h e t e s t i n g o f t h i s ve h i c l e . The 2014 Subaru Forester is the only small SUV to receive the top rating (“G/Good”)Δ in every safety test issued by the IIHS, granting it the TSP+ (Top Safety Pick Plus) designation. These tests include the most severe frontal collision tests performed on vehicles. But we believe the best way to protect yourself in a collision is to avoid one altogether; that’s why every Forester is equipped with symmetrical full-time. All-Wheel Drive for added traction and control, and the option of our EyeSight™ Advanced Driving Assist System. So thanks to us, a few lucky crash test dummies have a very long life ahead of them. subaru.ca
Δ Ratings of “Good” are the highest rating awarded for performance in fi ve safety tests (moderate overlap front, small overlap front, side, rollover and rear) conducted by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) (www.iihs.org). To earn a 2013 TOP SAFETY PICK+, a vehicle must receive a “Good” rating in at least four of the fi ve tests and a “Good” or “Acceptable” rating in the fi fth test.

FIAT 500 Abarth Cabrio ‘Best Small Convertible’ FIAT brand takes title at SAMA Convertible Awards for third consecutive year; 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible named ‘Best Full-size Convertible.’ METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The U. S. Southern Automotive Media Association (SAMA) has recognized the Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio as the “Best Small Convertible” during the third annual “Topless in Miami” Convertible Awards June 6. It is the third time the Fiat brand has been awarded this honor. The Fiat 500c by Gucci Edition won in 2012, as did the Fiat 500 Cabrio during the inaugural event in 2011. The Chrysler 200 Convertible was named “Best Full-size Convertible” by the SAMA members. More than 50 journalists attended the third edition of the “Topless in Miami” event. The new Fiat 500c Abarth combines turbocharged, track-capable performance with a clever open-top design for a high-performance four-passenger cabrio.
With just the push of a button, the Fiat 500c Abarth’s power-operated cloth top retracts up to the rear spoiler during speeds up to a best-in-class 60 mph (a midway point can be chosen by pressing the button anytime in between). Press the roof button again, and the roof will neatly fold all the way open and tuck neatly behind the rear head restraints (up to 50 mph). At the same time the Chrysler 200 Convertible was named “Best Full-size Convertible” at the “Topless in Miami”. The 2013 Chrysler 200 Convertible is unique as a true mid-size convertible that comfortably seats four adults and has room in the trunk, even when the power top is dropped. Consumers can choose from two automatically latching, power tops, a body-colour painted steel, retractable hardtop, or a cloth soft top, both of which can drop with the press of a button on the key fob or the center console inside the car.
The Fiat 500 Abarth Cabrio was named “Best Small Convertible” during the third annual “Topless in Miami” Convertible Awards on June 6 as voted by the Southern Automotive Media Association (SAMA).
First Infiniti Q50 rolls off the production line
The first of the much-awaited Infiniti Q50 sedan has been produced in Japan. The first production model of the Infiniti Q50, the all-new premium sports sedan, has rolled off the assembly line at Japan’s Tochigi production plant. Three-time Formula One World Champion, Sebastian Vettel, played an active role in the testing and evaluation program of the Q50 in his capacity of
Infiniti’s Director of Performance. Vettel will assist in shaping the performance dynamics of Infiniti’s future model line-up. The all-new Infiniti Q50, which will go on sale in the summer, is available with a technologically advanced V6 3.5-litre gas-electric hybrid and a gas
3.7-litre powertrain. Striking design, a raft of breakthrough technologies such as Direct Adaptive Steering, and unprecedented levels of craftsmanship and performance are the distinctive qualities of the Q50.

Hauling heavy loads in the 2014 GMC Sierra will be greatly enhanced with a complete range of trailering technologies.
Sierra Trailering Tech enhances safety and performance Metroland Media WheelsTalk.com
Six in 10 full-size pickup owners use their trucks for trailering, according to General Motors’ survey data. Along with class-leading trailing capacities, the all-new 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 offers the majority of customers a full suite of trailering technologies that aid everything from acceleration to safety and braking. Before the 2014 Sierra is even in motion, systems are monitoring conditions and preparing the truck to perform. On any grade of about five per cent or higher, Hill Start Assist automatically engages the Sierra’s brakes for 1.5 seconds or until the gas pedal is pressed.

This keeps the truck from rolling rearward and helps in trailering situations like climbing a boat launch. Tow/Haul mode, activated by a button on the shift lever, modifies the standard sixspeed transmission’s shift mapping to take full advantage of the Sierra’s powerful new EcoTec3 engines. For drivers who prefer full control over their truck’s shifting, improved TapShift controls on the shift lever are backed by a patent-pending shift algorithm that improves shift response time by up to 60 per cent compared to previous systems. When the TapShift controls are in use, Sierra’s Trailer Grade Braking is deactivated because the driver is manually controlling gearshifts.

Porsche is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the 911 at the International Motor Show in Frankfurt in September with a special anniversary model based on the 911 Carrera S. Like the original 911, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition is a coupe with a flat-six rear engine and rear wheel drive. Thanks to its more powerful engine, the 911 50th Anniversary Edition sprints from zero to 100 km/h in 4.0 seconds (with PDK in Sport Plus mode) and can reach a top speed of 308 km/h (306 with PDK). The limited edition models will start arriving at Canadian Porsche Centres in the fourth quarter with pricing beginning at $141,600. In Canada, the “Power kit” engine upgrade is standard, bumping the 3.8 litre engine’s horsepower from 400 to 430. This special edition will be limited to 1963 cars worldwide, a number that represents the year of the 911 world premiere. A total of 50 units will be earmarked for Canada, matching the celebrated milestone. Increased engine power was made possible by carefully tuned modifications and adaptations to the electronic engine management, without affecting the fuel consumption. The core elements are special cylinder heads with different camshafts and an entirely new variable resonance intake system design with six air flaps and a resonance flap. Two unique colours are available for the anniversary 911, a darker graphite grey and a lighter geyser grey metallic. In addition black monochrome is also available. Each of the cars has a two-tone 3D-effect badge on the rear lid with the numbers “911 50.”
