Making a First trumpet soloists hits stage at Symphony Splash Kendra Wong Victoria News

Ben Parker has come a long way from when he first taught himself how to play the trumpet. The 16-year-old St. Michaels University student is the first trumpet soloist ever to perform at Victoria Symphony Splash, one of the largest orchestra concerts in North America in August. “I’m very excited and a little bit nervous just because of the sheer scale of the event, but I’m just happy “It’s to go out there and play,” a once in Parker said. “It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.” a lifetime Parker’s love for the opportunity.” instrument began when he - Ben Parker was seven years old. “My dad used to play the trumpet, but he got braces so he had to stop. He always wanted me to play the trumpet and eventually we went down to the trumpet store and picked one up,” said Parker. For the first year, he took it upon himself to learn how to play it. In the past, he played the piano, but after making a “sound right off the bat,” Parker knew the trumpet was the instrument for him. Hugo Wong photo

Triathlon a tribute to her father Travis Paterson Black Press

Thirteen years later, Victoria resident Christine Thate is ready to finish what she started in 2002, the Olympic distance of the Self-Transcendence Triathlon. “I was registered, I had completed the training and “Maybe I was prepared do it when I someone will see to got sick with a that I’m doing fever, temperature it, an ex-smoker, of 104 degrees (Fahrenheit),” and realize they Thate said. The 36th can do it too. It’s running of the Selfall about staying Transcendence Triathlon and healthy.” Duathlon is - Christine Thate Sunday, Aug. 2, starting and finishing at Hamsterly Beach on Elk Lake. Back in 2002, Thate had done two sprint distance triathlons, with a 750 metre swim, 20 kilometre bike ride and 5 km run. The jump to the Olympic distance, with a 1.5 km swim, a 40 km bike and a 10 km run, was daunting, but a challenge she wanted to meet. “I’ve never been comfortable (racing) on the bike,” she said. “I actually still smoked until 2007 too. And now I’m retired, so I have no excuse, I have lots of time to train.” At 56, Thate has remained active in running and swimming. A member of the Prairie Inn Harriers, she has completed plenty of half marathons and is a regular

Victoria, race director Sumitra McMurchy says that’s not true. There is no decision at this time and a formal announcement will be made following the Aug. 2 event, she said. McMurchy is thrilled to see athletes such as Thate realizing their dream. “The Self-Transcendence always aimed to encourage participation of people at all levels, encouraging them to reach a little beyond what they have achieved in the past,” she said. The Self-Transcendence features a duathlon (5 km run, 40 km bike, 10 km run), and a youth triathlon category, in addition to the Olympic and sprint distances. Relay teams may also compete in the Olympic distance. New this year is an option for participants to wear a wetsuit in water up to 28 degrees Celsius, where as the previous TriBC ruling banned wetsuits for 22 degrees C and over. However, anyone who chooses to wear a wetsuit in 22 degrees C or more lose eligibility for medals, placements or other awards. For Thate, the race is a chance to honour her father who died 10 years ago. “He was a big supporter of my races. He would be here with me bright and early (on race day),” Thate said. “I’m a baby boomer, and you know what, it’s tough. Baby boomers are in the same position of losing our parents or watching our parents age. This is a tribute for him.” For more information on the Self-Transcendence triathlon visit victoriatriathlon.com.

The Victoria Police Department has released video footage of an armed robbery at a medical marijuana dispensary last week in hopes the public can help identify the person responsible. On Thursday, July 23 at approximately 9 p.m., a man entered Farmacy (3055 Scott St.) and pointed what appeared to be a hand gun and a knife at the clerk. The suspect gave the clerk a black garbage bag and ordered them to fill it with drugs and cash. Once the clerk filled the bag, the suspect ran into his vehicle and sped away. The male suspect is believed to be Caucasian, approximately five feet, eight inches tall with a tattoo around his right eye. His get-away vehicle is described as a 2006 to 2009 tan-coloured Pontiac Torrent with no license plates. The suspect was last seen near North Dairy and Shelbourne Streets. If you have any information on the suspect, the vehicle or the crime, please call VicPD’s non-emergency number at 250-9957654 or through CrimeStopper at 1-800-222-8477.

An international traveller has been reunited with his camera containing footage of his trip in Canada all thanks to the efforts of a Victoria man. On Sunday, July 19, a group of people were walking around the Breakwater Market at Odgen Point when they noticed a Nixon D700 camera left on a bench by the gorge. After 30 minutes of waiting for the owners to return, the group decided to turn it into the information tent at the market. The camera then made its way into Larry Freeman’s hands and the market manager jumped into action to identify the owner. “I had a quick look through the pictures and found a picture of their motor home with the license plate number and the Fraserway RV contact information on it,” he said. Over the next few days, Freeman tried contacting the RV rental company to forward his information to the camera owner. The owner then contacted Freeman and told them they had already left town. Through a series of emails, the duo coordinated to have the camera shipped via Air Canada to Prince Rupert, which was the travellers’ next destination. And on Friday, the owner was

Stephan Braun is a tourist from Germany who was travelling across Canada with his wife in an RV. He had only been in Victoria for a day when he lost the camera. “It was our second day in Canada and it was jet lag and stress and I lost the camera. I had nothing to take photos with then I got an email from Fraserway who said Larry had the camera. It’s my hobby. I was very, very happy to have it back” said Braun with a laugh. “I was very surprised because the people were are

very friendly. In Europe and Germany, there are too many people in one place, here there are less people in Canada so maybe that is the reason why people come together better and are more friendly, Larry Freeman is a good example.” Freeman is just happy he could return the camera to its rightful owner. “It was an expensive camera for one, and the other thing is that if I lost my camera when I was on holiday like that, I hope someone would go through the effort to do that for me as well,” Freeman said.

OUR VIEW

Young men should heed risk of drowning Nothing beats the heat quite like taking a dip, whether it’s inching into the water up to your knees, taking a couple of cooling strokes or enjoying a full-blown invigorating swim. And with no end in sight to our unseasonably hot summer, more and more people are taking the plunge this year. Victoria’s stretches of shoreline entice locals and visitors alike for both swimming and boating. At the risk of putting a damper on anyone’s idea of innocent fun, it’s important to remember that safety should always come first before you venture into or onto the water. Two devastating accidents on Vancouver Island this summer, one at Sproat Lake which claimed the life of a Greater Victoria man and the other which saw a young rugby player visiting from England drown in Shawnigan Lake, underscore the need to remind people of the potential for deadly consequences when in or on the water. In June, the BC Coronors Service released a report that said messages around water safety, supervision, boater safety, alcohol use, lifejacket/PFD use and pool safety are not getting through, particularly to young men. Of 35 drowning deaths between 2007 and 2013, almost seven in 10 involved youths aged 15 to 18, and three-quarters of those who died were male. The cases show that males in that age group are particularly prone to underestimate the risk involved in activities, overestimate their own swimming abilities, and use substances, such as alcohol, which may affect their judgment, co-ordination and/ or ability to self-rescue. You can’t take too many precautions on or near the water. Remember, alcohol and water conspire to form a deadly cocktail that can make the raft appear closer, or that dive from a cliff less daunting. We encourage you to responsibly enjoy all the pleasures the water has to offer this summer and to take a few minutes while you’re checking your cell phone or waiting for the sunscreen to dry to surf over to redcross.ca for lifesaving advice in, on and around the water.

“J grade” Douglas fir logs below $80 per cubic metre while the price in Asia and Washington state has climbed above $100. The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Sovietstyle approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk. Competition made the wine industry better, and now it’s world class. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Police seek witnesses Rise in fires no cause for concern The Victoria Police Department is searching for witnesses to a late-night stabbing in downtown Victoria last week. On Sunday, July 26, officers were called to the 1100-block of Wharf St. just after midnight for reports of a man who had been stabbed. They found a 32-yearold Saanich man had been stabbed on his side. Staff at Darcy’s Pub were alerted and began first aid. The man was taken to hospital with non lifethreatening injuries. Detectives learned the victim spoke to two women on the corner of Wharf

while there were only 35 in the same period in 2014. The number of vehicle fires also jumped to nine from three the previous year. “The beach fires are all deliberately set by people. It’s people who have just disregarded the bylaw or been ignorant of the bylaws,” Carey said. “The mulch fires, the most common cause of those are cigarette butts.” In Esquimalt, residents are being extra vigilant, said fire chief Chris Jancowski. He added they’ve seen a reduction in the number of calls over the past week, mainly due to the cooler conditions. Carey hopes the public will be extra vigilant when discarding cigarettes.

manual lumbar support, fog lights, leather seating surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior styling is appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275.

DrivewayCanada.ca The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. That’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and the cabin. A strong point of VWs, as long as I can remember, is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has all-wheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

ARTHRITIS

Pain free in 2 weeks. This is what happened to me personally. I tried drugs, acupuncture, magnets and many other methods. Finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. It gave me the idea that I could help thousands of the 5 million men and women suffering daily in Canada with the worst pain on earth to have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle. <For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage #1 spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night with 3 bottles costing less than $100. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON. <Cancelled knee replacement. 1 was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. <At first I was skeptical. I gradually noticed an improvement. Then I took another brand. I was surprised having so much pain again. Eventually I realized that I needed to re-order Bell. #1 NPN 80042283 Found relief again. Marie Ciraulo, 72, Oakland, CA. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…Also guaranteed for sciatica. Hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

Great Sex

EroxilTM helps most men to perform like in their 20’s. Evidence of a few hundred testimonials on our web site with full names and towns. All 100% true: <Eroxil is the best of all the supplements for men I’ve tried. Boosts my sex drive and I’m able to function anytime. Angus Gutke, 45, Calgary, AB <Regained virility in 3 days. My libido was restored for good sex. I’ve given it also to friends with the same results. One of them is a diabetic and overweight. Dr. Louis Rolland, 72, St. Hyacinthe, QC <Having orgasms off the Richter scale. It’s like I’m a teenager again. The world owes you big time. Lawrie Roberts, 47, Toronto, ON <Wonderful to feel like a man again. It’s wonderful to feel close to my wife again. God bless you! Charles E. Palen, 77, Burnaby, BC <Women Yes!

Snoring?

Sleep apnea? Trouble falling asleep?

University of Toronto professor states that 69% of adults have sleeping problems. Bad sleep reduces physical and creative energy all next day. Almost all families are affected. Sleep apnea may cause high blood pressure, strokes, heart attacks and irregular heart beats. Can be very destructive in relationships. Hundreds of true testimonials on the Bell website from people like you. Real people wrote: æI really didn’t snore or gasp for air anymore. I sleep through the night and feel rested and refreshed in the morning. Mark Wilson, 40, Hudson, NH. æSleep apnea capsules worked first night. For 15 years I had sleep apnea and my doctor made me buy a CPAP machine, which I could not use. Finally Bell #23 helped the first night and every night thereafter. Like a miracle. Unbelievable. Karen Braun, 67, Glace Bay, NS. æFor 20 years I was waking up frequently gasping for air. During the day I would start napping every time I would sit down, because I was tired. Since taking #23 sleeping 6 hours is heaven. It made a #23 NPN 80027595 substantial change in my life. Mary C. Myrick, 62, Jackson, MS. æIt is such a joy not having to use the CPAP machine anymore. Wayne Burse, 63, Beamsville, ON.

carriers! Carrier of the month

broDeY Hi! My name is Brodey and I’ve been a carrier for about a year now, and I like the responsibility of having a job. It’s also nice meeting new people and stuff like that. Some of my favorite things to do are playing my instruments (I play flute, alto sax, viola and i’m learning how to play the baritone sax and the trombone.) and playing magic the gathering with my friends. I have been doing karate for the last 7 or 6 years so that’s a big part of my life... Anyways I’d like to thank Victoria news for this awesome opportunity gaining experience and for recognition as paper carrier of the month Congratulations Brodey on being “Carrier of the Month” and for always delivering your paper with a smile.

Vancouver Island Insurance Centres (VIIC) Donates $10,000 To Support Wheels For Wellness

Vancouver Island Insurance Centres (VIIC) donates $10,000 to support Wheels for Wellness in the purchase of a new van. VIIC is proud to be an active community sponsor and quietly donated over $130,000 to various non-proﬁt organizations and events in 2014. In 2015 the staﬀ of VIIC voted to support Wheels for Wellness as their primary charitable cause and with the assistance of their insurer partner, Gore Mutual, was

Wilson’s Walk development finally underway Project brings 108 rental units to City Laura Lavin Victoria News

Wilson’s Walk, a 108 unit rental project at 105 Wilson St. in Victoria’s Vic West neighbourhood, finally got underway earlier this month. The project is the long awaited phase two of the Wing Development, also constructed by TL Housing Solutions of Vancouver. “It’s very exciting for us,” said Mary Ellen Van Dusen, interim executive director for Pacifica Housing. “This is the largest project that Pacifica has undertaken. This has the largest number of units.” Pacifica Housing is a non-profit charitable organization that provides affordable housing for low income families, persons with a disability and adults who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless. The building was designed by Low Hammond Rowe Architects, recent winner of four awards of excellence for various projects on Vancouver Island at the 2015 Vancouver Island Commercial Building Awards, sponsored by the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board. “It’s been in the works five years or more,” said Paul Hammond, of Low Hammond Rowe Architects. “The previous development that failed there had started foundation work.” The new development will make use of the existing perimeter walls that were previously constructed, but some interior work will be removed to make way for the new nine storey building which features 136 underground and surface parking stalls. Of the 108 units, 84 will be subsidized and 24 made available

Subsidized units will consist of 42 bachelor, 28 one-bedroom and 14 threebedroom apartments. Market units will comprise of 12 bachelor, eight one-bedroom and four threebedroom apartments. Its sister project, The Wing is adjacent to the Westside Village Shopping Centre. The Wing offers a mix of studio, one and two bedroom apartments as well as two and three bedroom loft style units. Units on the second

and third floors are available to individuals or families whose gross annual household income falls between $30,000 and $54,000. There are no income requirements for units on the first or fourth floor. Pacifica is a large provider of housing in the Capital Region. “This will make 33 for us. We have five in Nanaimo and one in Duncan, the rest are in Greater Victoria,” said Van Dusen. Wilson’s Walk is one of

the newest and fewest rental properties in the area and is an easy walk to downtown. “The existing underground parking will link to the underground parking for the new building and include bicycle storage as well,” said Hammond. He said their mandate was to design affordable housing and the key to that is repetition. “It’s straight forward design. Each floor is the same. There are 12 units on each floor and they all line up,” he said. However, clever use of colour and materials will be used in order to make the building unique. “We still want to create an interesting project. On the facade we’ll use a mix of coloured material and shift the balcony connections, stagger them … we’ll have two different combinations of oscillating balconies and layer coloured glass panels between each suite, which doesn’t change the cost because every unit needs a balcony and railings, we’re just changing the colour mix to create interest.” The same creative use of colour will be used in the interior space as well. The project is being constructed by TL Housing Solutions for Pacifica Housing Advisory Association. The project is expected to be complete by December, 2016. “We expect it will immediately serve the needs of working folks, service industry employees in the downtown area. They will be able to walk to work across the new bridge,” said Van Dusen. BC Housing provided $2.64 million for the project, a further $1.26 million came from the CRD, $840,000 from the City of Victoria and $10,000 from CMHC.

lumbar support, lights, leather seatsupport fog lights ing surfaces, a power sunroof, and LED signature daytime running lights. While it might not be everyone’s first choice in colour, the Jetta diesel’s Toffee Brown Metallic looks like a cold glass of root beer on wheels. Yum. I found it to be refreshing and different. As for the ride and handling, this Jetta does not disappoint. One of my favourite features – aside from the 150 horsepower and 236 horsepower from its 2.0L, turbo engine – is how it handles. The steering weight gives enough feedback to the driver to make tight turns engaging. And when paired with the DSG transmission, not only is city traffic more manageable, but less work for your left leg! If you find yourself towing a lot, or even wanting to go off the straight and narrow, consider the 2015 VW Touareg TDI. With ample room for five inside, this SUV comes with all the right touches. The refreshed interior design and styling is highly appealing to those who want a posh truck, without paying the equivalent price of its familiar equivalents: the Porsche Cayenne Diesel or the Audi Q7 TDI. The Touareg’s starting MSRP comes in at $55,275 and goes from there.

The Execline is the top-of-the-line trim and starts at $69,575. Okay, that’s a decent amount of coin, and it’s not for everyone, but all trims of Touareg come with the same great 3.0L, turbocharged, V6 engine offering 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque. This engine is then linked with an eightspeed automatic transmission. The panoramic sunroof lets in a copious amount of daylight onto the Terracotta Brown Vienna Leather seats and into the cabin. A strong point of VWs as long as I can remember is how its cabin says so much with saying so little. For example: the centre stack. The perfect combination of buttons and touchscreen make the infotainment so easy to use and one that is not hard to navigate. Then there’s the fuel economy. In the city, it uses an estimated 12.0L/100km in the city and 8.1L/100km on the highway. Not bad for a vehicle that weighs in at 2,130 kg and has allwheel drive. There are a couple more TDI options for you, too. There’s the larger Passat sedan and then there’s the funky Beetle. Visit www.vw.ca for more information. Alexandra.straub@drivewaybc.ca

New Ford camera sees around corners By Keith Morgan

Ford is introducing new vehicle camera technology that can help see around corners even when drivers cannot, aiding in reducing driver stress and potentially averting accidents. The new available split-view camera feature helps drivers see traffic and obstacles that enter the vehicle’s path from the side by displaying a 180-degree view of the area in front of or behind a vehicle. Split view uses real-time video feeds from 1-megapixel wide-angle lens cameras in the grille and tailgate. A tri-panel display in the 8-inch screen helps customers understand quickly whether an obstacle is coming from either side or straight on. Split view is activated at the touch of a button and automatically shuts off when vehicle speed reaches 10 km/h. Ford introduced split view on the 2015 Ford Edge and 2016 Explorer in the United States and China. Front split view is offered on Edge. Front and rear split view comes standard in the United States on the 2016 Explorer Limited on sale now and Explorer Platinum, on sale soon. Front split view is coming to the all-new Ford S-MAX and Galaxy in Europe, available to order now. Split view will be offered on nearly all Ford SUVs globally by 2020. A tiny telescopic jet washer keeps the front camera clean on every vehicle

with split view. Explorer also incorporates a washer for the rear camera. Ford plans to make rear-view cameras standard on all of its North American light passenger vehicles by 2018 – and front cameras available on a majority of its vehicles globally by volume by 2020 – meaning the company plans to put more than 2 million new cameras a year on the road. Ford introduced rear-view cameras in the 2007 Expedition and now offers an available backup camera in every Ford car, SUV and light truck in North America. Backup cameras are standard in Focus, Fusion, Explorer, Escape, Edge and Mustang. The next Ford Super Duty will offer the company’s most advanced camera technology, helping with lane-keeping assistance and enabling customers to see more angles around a truck and trailer than ever before. The 2016 F-150 has up to five cameras available, the most of any vehicle in

the Ford lineup. Four cameras in F-150 are mounted in the outside mirrors, and rear and front of the vehicle to enable a 360-degree view and backup view functions. A forward-looking camera mounted behind the rearview mirror is used to activate auto high beams and lane-keeping assist, which looks for lane deviations. The driver never sees the image from this camera, but the vehicle’s computer uses the visual signal to operate the rest of the system. Ford cameras are tested under extreme conditions – beyond what they will endure during a typical vehicle lifetime. Each camera component is subjected to more than 1,000 hours of testing to make sure it can withstand temperature changes, humidity, dust, salt and more. Ford engineers also immerse cameras to confirm the casing does not let water leak in. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

New exhibit looks at Boy Scouts Brianna Shambrook Sooke News Mirror contributor

The Sooke Region Museum has curated a temporary exhibit in honour of the Pacific Jamboree for Boy Scouts hosted by Camp Barnard this July. The exhibit was researched by Miranda Siklenka, a summer collections student, and will be on display until the end of this month. On display is information on the origins of scouting, activity in the Sooke region and several artifacts. The Boy Scouts and Girl Guides organizations were founded by Lord Baden-Powell in the early 1900s. After he held his first camp for boys on Brownsea Island in England in 1907, the scouting movement quickly became an international phenomenon that included girls too. The Pacific Jamboree is hosted by the B.C. Yukon Councils and is held every four years. Camp Barnard has accommodated the Jamboree numerous times, the last time it was held here was in 1987. Starting as Beaver Scouts, children from the ages five to seven years are integrated into an environment intended to nurture spirituality, self-awareness, appreciation of nature, caring, and sharing. At eight to10 years old, the children continue as Cub Scouts (previously Wolf Cubs). In this period, facing challenges is encouraged as indicated by their motto, “Do Your Best.” Upon reaching Scout level the youths, aged 11 to 14 years, follow the Scouts motto, “Be Prepared.” This entails a focus on citizenship, leadership, personal development, and outdoor skills, all of which can be awarded with a variety of merit-based badges.

The largest artifact on display was donated by Mae Linell and is a wooden totem from the 1st Sooke Cub Pack (2002.017.015). The totem is a wolf’s head on a stand. The entire object is painted brown, white and red. Linell played an influential role in the progress of scouting in Sooke. She was a Cub leader for 40 years and was awarded the Governor-General’s Medal of Merit for distinguished service to scouting. Mae’s size 7 wool Stetson hat that she wore as a leader is also in the exhibit (2009.030.001a-c). Additionally, this exhibit showcases instructional booklets for Scouts. One booklet tells the life story of founder Lord Baden-Powell of Gilwell (1987.055.027). The 48-page sepia tone booklet was published by the Canadian General Council of the Boy Scouts Association in Ottawa, Canada. Another booklet on display is called The Scout’s Reciter and Elocutionary Instructor (2015.FIC.509) and was printed and bound in Glasgow by James Brown and Son Ltd in 1925. This 42-page resource shares information on how scouts should present themselves (eg. breathing and stance) and has verses, speeches and mottos that should be memorised. Other artifacts on display include badges and uniform attire. The Sooke Region Museum would also like to extend a huge thank you to the Royal B.C. Museum, The Maritime Museum of B.C. and the Gap Factory Store (Westshore Mall) for the loan of several mannequins and dress forms that have been used in our summer exhibit titled Fashion Files: Dressing Sooke. ••• Brianna Shambrook is collections and exhibits manager at Sooke Region Museum.
