The generosity of a Victoria philanthropist will live on in the newly renamed Rudi’s Tea Room, dedicated by Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon in a ceremony at Government House’s Cary Castle Mews. The tea room is named for Rudi Hoenson, whose donations to the Government House Foundation allowed for a large expansion of the patio to accommodate more patrons and the purchase of a commercial dishwasher. “Rudi’s gift has increased the capacity of the tea room, allowing more visitors to the Government House grounds to enjoy the Cary Castle Mews, learn about this National Historic Site and the history and accomplishments of our province and its people,” said Michael O’Connor, President of the Government House Foundation. A new exhibit highlighting the service of distinguished British Columbians and complementing the existing historic costume museum and heraldry display was also unveiled. The Cary Castle Mews is a collection of wooden service buildings on the Government House grounds that date to the early 1870s. The tea room is located in Butterworth Cottage and serves lunch, tea, pastries and other refreshments.

Fresh food and a fabulous variety of other hand made items from soup to soap help make the James Bay Market one of the longest running in the city. Photo contributed

James Bay Market brings whole community together Laura Lavin Victoria News

Well ahead of its time, the James Bay Market has been providing fresh, locally grown produce, homemade and handmade items for the last 20 years. “August 15th is the official celebration for it’s 20th year,” said volunteer organizer • James Bay Market Carole Elliott. musicians this week Elliott has include: been involved in 9:30 - Tina Fischer, the James Bay 11:15 - Maxine Fisher 1 p.m. - Steve Sturgess Market for the past five years. “I’ve always wanted the market to be very viable and a big part of the community,” she said. And a big part of the community it is. The James Bay Market is held each Saturday rain or shine, May 2 to Oct. 10, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. and it’s definitely the place to grab a coffee or snack, get your fresh greens, baking and other items and chat with your neighbours while taking in the weekly entertainment. “We have a lot of different entertainment at the

market,” said Elliott. “There is also produce, and juried crafts people, a lot of food products, jams, hot sauces.” The variety and community feel is something the James Bay Market Society is so successful at creating that they were approached by the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority to create the new Breakwater Market. The Breakwater Market runs each Sunday in July and August, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the exception of Aug. 9. “The feeling is that the community needed something more vibrant down there and it’s fabulous,” said Elliott. The Breakwater Market also includes fresh produce and weekly entertainment. “We expect the Breakwater to attract mostly locals, people walking the breakwater,” Elliott added. When it’s complete, there will also be a barge with food trucks as well. “We’re trying to make it a vibrant place for people to go,” she said. The James Bay Market is located on the grassy area at the corner of Menzies and Superior streets between the Parliament buildings and the James Bay Tea Room.

However, as Michelle Washington points out in her Guest Column below, it’s our responsibility Take the opportunity to make to learn about others sure the connections between First Nation and Canadian cultures are strong and the bonds of understanding continue to grow. Each culture has its own stories and experiences that are unique unto itself. Each culture also has shared experiences with those who are geographically close. As children we learn about our cultural background from our parents and grandparents. Through stories, dance, art and food exclusive to our heritage, we learn to respect and honour our past. But to truly be global citizens, we need to learn the stories of our neighbours, our friends, and those around the world with whom we share a common ground – in the most literal sense of the word. The elders understand this and make an effort to join together and share ideas at their annual Gathering. The Royal B.C. Museum’s Our Living Languages: First Peoples’ Voices in British Columbia exhibition is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to learn more about the stories of our

First Nations neighbours, to engage with their heritage and culture in a tangible and meaningful way. As our cultures evolve and our languages evolve, it’s important to remember that our relationships will evolve as well. It is up to us to make sure those relationships grow with a clear understanding and respect for our unique past, our shared past, and also the understanding that our future will be decided by our collective desire to maintain our cultural identity while creating a new collaborative way of life.

Jewish roots and Turkish blues rock Victoria

ongregation Emanu-El will be rockin’ July 15 when it hosts some of the world’s best Jewish roots and Turkish blues musicians. Creating music described as enchanting and ornate, Istanbul oud player and vocalist Ismail Fencioglu is a true master of Turkish music whose soaring vocals and fleetfingered playing conjure images of the Bosphorus at sunset and transport the listener to a different time and place. Joining Fencioglu is the crew from the Montreal-based Shtreiml, including composer, pianist and harmonicist Jason Rosenblatt, one of the world’s premier harmonica players and an innovative composer of new Jewish music.

Schools get new leader

ieter Langstraat has been appointed Superintendent of Schools effective Aug. 24. “I am pleased that the Board of Education has selected Mr. Pieter Langstraat as Superintendent of Schools for the Greater Victoria School District,” said Board Chair Edith LoringKuhanga. “Mr. Langstraat is an experienced Superintendent with strong leadership skills, committed to public education, a true supporter of students and a strong relationship builder.” Langstraat was selected from a pool of highly qualified educators who applied from across Canada. He comes to Greater Victoria from the Red Deer Public School District where he spent most of his career, and where he is currently the Superintendent of Schools. Langstraat welcomes new challenges, works diligently to achieve results and is looking forward to his career with the Greater Victoria School District. Sherri Bell, current Superintendent of Schools, began a new role as President of Camosun College on July 1.

Together, Shtreiml and Fencioglu present Eastern Hora, a program of compelling original music rooted in the Jewish and Ottoman traditions, but brimming with hard rock sensibilities and dexterous improvisational know-how. Joined by the rest of Shtreiml, the group features Rachel Lemisch on trombone, Thierry Arsenault on drums and Joel Kerr on bass. The Victoria stop is part of a West Coast performance tour for this group that has performed at concerts and festivals in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. Tickets are $20 for the 7:30 p.m. concert at 1461 Blanshard St. For more information about Shtreiml, go to shtreiml.com editor@vicnews.com

“The Nootka Court location will allow public access to our resources as there will be a small research centre and will allow the MMBC to stabilize and plan for the future,” said Evans. But they have yet to find a permanent home after months-long negotiations between the province, the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the museum came to an impasse in June, sending board members scrambling to find a new home for the collection. According to Evans, the museum still has a 10-year lease agreement with the province for the climate-controlled space at 4000 Seymour St., which will house a bulk of the collection once its been moved from Bastion Square. “Unfortunately this is not exhibit space but we have recently received a federal grant to assist with special-purpose shelving as well as some local donations to assist with this move,” he said. The space is expected to open in August. kendrawong@vicnews.com

Good hearing but trouble with conversation? a good solution for most people.

A lot of people have trouble catching what people say, especially in group situations, despite having good hearing. What a lot of people don’t know is that this may be caused by damage to the so-called motor or amplifier function of special cells in the ear. A new type of hearing aid can help balance this out. A great many people have difficulty hearing others clearly on a daily basis. Bad acoustics, unclear pronunciation, background noise and music often make it challenging to catch what people say. This results in them having to repeatedly ask questions, straining to hear and perhaps increasingly avoiding discussions in large groups. As mentioned earlier, this may be caused by malfunctions in special cells in the ear. According to a theory proposed by hearing researchers, “motor cells” are a type of hair cell responsible for amplifying quiet sounds. They vibrate up to 20,000 times per second. If these hair cells

Hair cells in the ear move very rapidly and can act as an amplifier or dampener. If these cells are damaged, they can no longer properly amplify speech and dampen loud noises.

do not work properly then quiet sounds are no longer naturally amplified in the ear and loud sounds no longer dampened. This leads to more difficulty in hearing what is said in a lot of situations. If the hair cells have been damaged by noise or blood circulation problems, hearing aids that amplify quiet speech and dampen loud ambient noise can be

This improvement in hearing can be achieved for some clients through the new Phonak Audéo V’s hearing aids. This cutting-edge hearing technology comes in a miniature casing that can significantly enhance the user’s ability to hear speech in company. The hearing aids attune to the person you are speaking to and can also recognize if ambient noise increases in the background. Connect Hearing is currently looking to improve hearing for people who experience these challenges and want to try this new technology. We are particularly interested in candidates who have trouble hearing speech in the situations discussed above and can benefit from a demonstration to see whether they notice an improvement. Interested people can register for a free hearing evaluation and a noobligation demonstration of the Audéo V hearing aids by calling 1.888.408.7377.

Shutterbugs asked to ‘think wild’ for BC SPCA photo contest

s your camera ready? The BC SPCA’s seventh annual Wildlife-In-Focus Photography Contest is now open for entries. The goal is to capture the best of British Columbia’s wildlife through the lens, whether the subjects are in your own backyard or in the vast natural wilderness of the province. All amateur photographers can enter the competition, which runs from July 1 through Sept. 30, by submitting their most impressive digital images. “We are constantly amazed at the mind-blowing photos we receive – they really showcase the astonishing diversity of animals we have throughout B.C., in both urban settings and isolated locations,” says BC SPCA chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois. “From hummingbirds captured mid-

flight in a garden ornament’s reflection to a Momma grizzly bear and her cubs crossing a river, the images are stunning and really make it tough for judges to choose the winning photos.” The contest supports the BC SCPA’s Wild Animal rehabilitation Centre (Wild ARC) on southern Vancouver Island, where more than 2,500 orphaned and injured wild animals are cared for each year. Photos entered in previous contests have been featured in the BC SPCA’s Animal Sense and Bark! magazines, as well as in BC SPCA educational materials, local newspapers, websites and social media – a testament to the calibre of the photos that are entered. Prizes are awarded for the top three photos in each of two categories: Wild Settings and Backyard Habitats. The competition is open

GET

to all amateur photographers aged 14 and up. All photos of wildlife entered must be taken within the province and submitted digitally. “Wildlife” includes free-living birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals, or wildlife in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. Learn more about this year’s contest and view past winners’ images at spca.bc.ca/wildlifein-focus. “The contest encourages participants to explore green spaces, roadsides, mountain passes, beaches and backyards to find striking photo opportunities that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans,” Dubois says. For more information, email contest@wildarc.com. editor@vicnews.com

Kids get a chance to shine in cycling camp iCan Shine camp puts kids on a bike

stabilizing roller – the key feature of the iCan Shine camp – to riding his own bike, newly purchased this week, without any stabilizing features by midweek. The stabilizing roller permits kids such as Demeriez, who struggles with balance issues, and children with disabilities to ride a bike. About 80 per cent of participants can ride a two-wheel bicycle independently by the end of the five-day program, said Sharon Stangeland, camp co-director and Island Health physiotherapist at the Queen Alexandra Centre for Children’s Health. “Generally the nature of the disability dictates how long it will take a child to successfully (ride on two wheels),” Stangeland said. “I’ve seen some children take four years, as long as they’re willing to stick it out, it can be done.” A row of happy parents watch from the edge of the fieldhouse, some seeing their children ride a bike fro the first time. The five-day iCan Shine bike camp is put on for kids and teens aged five to 17 with autism, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome

Ten-year-old John Demeriez is relentless as he circles his bike around and around the fieldhouse at Pearkes Recreation Centre. His volunteer partner, Nathan Wong, could use a break, but there will be no pit stop. It’s the first time Demeriez has successfully ridden a bike in well over a year. Thanks to the iCan Shine bike camp, Demeriez is back in gear and eager to go. “(Demeriez) gets around pretty fast,” says Wong, an 18-year-old University of Victoria student. “It’s great exercise. I love it, it’s almost selfish how rewarding it is for me to see the kids learn to ride a bike.” Wong paired with Demeriez all week and watched the youngster progress from the most basic setting on the bike’s

and other disabilities affecting motor co-ordination. It runs this week and next at Pearkes. Enrolment is 35 kids this year, up from 28 last year. Only a few come back, such as Demeriez, who attended two years ago but stopped riding last year following a crash. “John needed to regain his confidence after a bad wipeout, and (in three days he) already got so much back,” said Demeriez’ mom Mary. The children start with a cylindrical roller in place of the back wheel, which is then switched out with a series of tapered rollers as the child becomes accustomed to the trickier balancing act each requires. One to two volunteers serve as spotters for each rider. The Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island contributed $15,000 to the iCan Shine bike camp, all from donations from the community, including a $5,000 gift from the GoodLife Kids Foundation. reporter@saanichnews.com

Bring on the summer road trips

n the road this summer, with my iPhone cheerily crooning out Google Map directions (“In 200 metres, turn left,” says Siri), life is a bowl of cherries. Not so, years ago, when my daughters and I packed up VW Susan van and headed out on the road, often to swim meets or soccer games in the Lower Mainland and beyond. Oftentimes I’d rely on a directional hunch to get us to our campground: employing a sort of “intuitive sense of direction.” To be honest, this isn’t recommended. In fact, the Lower Mainland completely confounded me and I’d find myself zooming down a highway north when I needed to go south, or herded by traffic across a soaring bridge — destination

unknown. On those occasions my daughters learned a few choice words. Once we set out to a swim meet in Port Coquitlam, eightyear-old Danica in the passenger seat clutching a convoluted list of highway names Lundy and numbers and exits and lane changes. The drive involved close to three hours of traffic jams and highway construction and, yes, a few wrong turns. Asking for directions seemed counter intuitive to my intuitive sense of direction, but finally, thoroughly lost, I pulled off the highway and we marched into a convenience store. The woman behind the counter knew exactly where we needed to go and explained everything with a rapid-fire confidence.

She was terribly helpful, but as we climbed back into the van, I looked at Danica and asked, “Did you get that?” She shook her head, sadly, and said, “Do you think it was Chinese or Japanese?” But no matter how bad Vancouver might be, I can’t stress how confusing the north/ south, street/avenues numbered grid system is in Calgary. And just when you think you have it figured out, there you are hurtling down an eight lane freeway, with traffic merging from both sides, realizing you are driving to Edmonton, when actually you were aiming for downtown Calgary. In the three years I lived there, I discovered the joy of leaving the car behind and walking. So it was with great trepidation that I watched my youngest daughter and her friend fulfill, at age 18, a “lifelong” (ha) dream

they returned home, but Floyd didn’t work very well, and there were familiar-to-me stories of merging the wrong way on a oneway road and arriving at a few unplanned destinations. However, mostly, it seemed they suffered from “intuitive parking.” Eager to pick up two friends, who were flying into LAX, they managed to find short-term parking, make their way to international arrivals and even find their friend. What they neglected to do was note where they left the car. Faced with seven different, multi-levelled parkades — let’s just say it took them several hours to find the car. Fast forward to this summer and we’re all driving with confidence, ready to take on the most complicated directions with Siri’s soothing voice. But wait … I can almost hear Sierra’s voice, “Where did I put my iPhone?”

to do a road trip to California upon graduation. They planned to go for a month, no particular destination, living out of the back of the car. The friend’s mom and I had MANY objections to this plan, the foremost being our certainty that gun-toting serial killers hung out at most roadside stops in US (we’re big fans of true crime fiction), and that these two young women (who couldn’t hold onto a pair of socks without losing them) could meet any number of ill adventures. “But you’ll get lost!” I implored, thinking of all my driving disasters. “How can we get lost,” answered Sierra calmly, “when we don’t know where we’re going?” That stumped me a bit. So I bought them a GPS, which they named Floyd, and off they went. Luckily, we didn’t hear about most of their adventures until

Housing market shows rentals are needed Secondary suites are in demand Travis Paterson News Staff

After a recent spike in the vacancy rate for rental suites in Greater Victoria, the number of available suites has shrunk to what it was five years ago. The most recent of the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s twice-annual vacancy reports came out in April, with Greater Victoria seeing vacancies of 1.7 per cent for bachelor suites, 2.7 for o n e - b e d ro o m and 2.8 for twobedroom suites. But those numbers could be off a little bit, said CEO Dave Hutniak of Landlord B.C. HisDave Hutniak torically, CMHC doesn’t include condos, townhouses or secondary suites in the report, which can understate the true vacancy rate in Victoria. “It’s a huge drop in rental vacancies, when you [approach] one per cent, technically it becomes zero vacancies [based on what’s actually out there],” Hutniak said. “I’m not saying the rental market hasn’t tightened up [in Greater Victoria], it has.” What the drop in vacancy rates really says is that the Capital Region is once again desperately in need of supply. “[It comes back to] a need for increased supply in purpose-built rentals [whether it’s Victoria or Saanich],” Hutniak said. District of Saanich planning staff are cognizant of how crucial Saanich’s (unofficial estimate of) 10,000 secondary suites are to housing in the region.

Travis Paterson/News Staff

Herons Landing and The Ardea at 3185 Tillicum Rd. are the first apartment buildings erected in Saanich in more than 25 years. But the big push is for density, not sprawl. Saanich had its first purpose-built rental show up last year, the two building development of Herons Landing and the Ardea, at

the corner of Burnside and Tillicum. The waitlist to get into those buildings is currently into September. Purpose-built rental buildings were so out of favour, the Herons

Landing and Ardea development was the first time in 25 years that Saanich council was able to approve an apartment designated for rental housing. It’s a problem Saanich Coun. Fred Haynes is eager to address. “We have other [developers] now looking at the [purpose-built rental] market, [it’s] encouraging,” said Haynes, who is vice-chair on the Regional Housing Trust Fund. “Certainly there are some things we can do, whether it’s allowing buildings of certain types [such as the recent move to allow wooden structures up to six storeys]. Given this, I believe it is the ‘range of housing’ options we all need to think more about, including opportunities to retain and to add to our rental housing stock including private, non-profit and co-operative rental housing.” Saanich’s 2008 official community plan recognizes the municipality’s ability to attract and retain young families and the necessary workforce, but true action has yet to be taken beyond private developments, which are also a necessary area of growth. “We’d like to see more affordable rental housing. To get it, we need collaboration from government,” Hutniak said. Otherwise, potential rental developments are competing with (condo) developers for the same land, Hutniak added. Hutniak is part of Victoria’s Housing Affordability Task Force, which is bringing a draft of recommendations to council on July 16. Among the suggestions are the contribution of city land at no cost, to enable affordable housing development. While there is a small, interest rate-driven uptick in purpose-built rentals in B.C., more measures are needed, Hutniak said. “It’s more than we’ve had for 25 years, let’s get shovels in the ground to build additional supply.” reporter@saaichnews.com

Consumer urged to be credit savy before taking on renovations: BBB The Better Business Bureau of Vancouver Island is reminding consumers to take the time to become credit savvy before embarking on home improvement renovations. “We get a number of calls this time of year from consumers, who are eager to start a renovation or home improvement project, that misunderstand how their use of credit has negatively impacted their credit rating,” said Rosalind Scott, president and CEO of the local BBB. “These consumers are then very upset with the bank when they find out that they are not eligible for home improvement loans or credit cards, despite the fact that they think they have a good credit history.” The real problem often begins

long before the consumer heads to the bank for a loan. It usually begins earlier in the year (or even the year before), when the consumer took advantage of “instore discounts” related to the opening of an account associated with store’s credit card program. “What consumer’s don’t often realize is that those ‘buy now, pay later programs,’ and those ‘get a discount by opening a store credit card’ opportunities, are actual financial activities that impact your credit history and your credit rating,” said Scott. “Even if you never use the program or card again, the fact that you opened it goes on your credit report and has the potential to impact your access to additional credit or loans in the

To cancel a credit card there is a very particular set of steps that you must take. And just because you cancel a credit card it does not mean that the payment information related to the card comes off your credit report immediately. Closed credit accounts, with zero balance and no associated negative information, will remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date the account was closed.
