Brush-Up
Getting there The 7th annual Bowker Creek Brush-Up takes place on Aug. 7 from 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Admission is free. Walking or biking to the event is encouraged, as street parking is limited. There is no parking available at Oak Bay High.
This year’s event expected to draw largest turnout ever, including veteran and rookie artists Ryan Flaherty News staff
If you’re an art enthusiast looking for the next wave of talent to hit the scene, look no further than Oak Bay. The Bowker Creek Brush-Up hosts plenty of established artists each year, but it’s also become a great place up-and-comers “Now some (young for to share their work with the public, in artists) have drawn cases for the interest from Oak Bay some very first time. The annual Oak galleries that want to Bay artists’ showdisplay their work – case, which marks and they got their start its seventh year this Sunday (Aug. here.” 7), includes a trio of – Flo-Elle Watson youth eager to make their mark in this thriving artistic hub. Lynda Shipley, Jessica Horrocks and Dorone Smith all make their Brush-Up debuts this year. “It’s a great opportunity, especially for young artists, because it’s hard to get exposure,” Smith said. “This is a great way to meet other artists and potential buyers. But as much as it’s about selling art, it’s an opportunity to go look at art. It’s like an art gallery outside.” Smith, heading into Grade 12 at Oak Bay High, draws inspiration from the wealth of talent in his backyard. “I love the fact that I can walk down Oak Bay Avenue during the day perusing the galleries, and I can look at art books in the used book store,” he said. “It’s such an active body of work.” Brush-Up organizer Flo-Elle Watson says making room for emerging artists like Smith helps the artistic community grow and thrive. “We’ve had youth artists who started at 16, and now they’re in their 20s and they keep coming back,” she said. “Now some of them have
drawn interest from Oak Bay galleries that want to display their work – and they got their start here.” One of those artists is Caitlin Ambery. Now 24, Ambery says her first experience at the Brush-Up, in 2007, was an invaluable way to get her work seen. “It’s a good way for people walking through to see your work when they may never have a chance,” she said. “Especially for young artists who haven’t had a chance to be in a gallery.” Ambery knows well the interest that an event like the Brush-Up can generate. Since her debut she’s had paintings displayed in a number of places around Greater Victoria, including a joint show with fellow Brush-Up returnee Garrett Pettersen at the McPherson Theatre. This year Ambery is previewing some of her pieces that will be on display at the Victoria Emerging Art Gallery this fall. And if estimates are accurate, a great many people will get a glimpse. “Last year we had about 3,500 visitors,” said Watson. “This year we’re expecting close to 4,000.” A total of 37 artists will be displaying their work at the Brush-Up, which takes place alongside Bowker Creek between Hampshire Road and Armstrong Avenue. Also included on the roster this year are guest artists Brian Simons, Pat Martin-Bates, Martin Machacek, Ted Harrison and Mark Heine. On top of the art lining the creek walkway, there will be displays by three environmental groups plus a pair of food vendors – Oak Bay Rotary Club is running a barbecue, while Crumsby’s will be selling coffee, muffins and other baked goods. As the Brush-Up has expanded, so has its reach. “I was in Courtenay recently and I talked to some people that drive down just for the event,” Watson said. “It’s great to know it’s drawing people in from different areas.” editor@oakbaynews.com

Transit ridership higher than ever B.C. Transit provided passengers with more than 51 million rides across the province last year – a new record. The results were recently released in the provincial Crown corporation’s 2010-2011 annual report, which shows ridership went up five per cent over the year before. The boon, according to B.C. Transit, is thanks to improved efficiencies, which resulted in lower operating costs and increased ridership in Fort St. John, Whistler and the Comox Valley, among others. Ridership in Greater Victoria also experienced a record increase last fiscal period, B.C. Transit said in May. More than 25 million riders rode the bus, a 1.6 per cent increase over the previous year. emccracken@vicnews.com

Mom tricks accused child lurer Man’s Oak Bay mom fought for funding to help him cope with fetal alcohol syndrome Roszan Holmen News staff
Shelley Lipke/News staff
Boat wash Lee Green washes a friend’s boat at the Oak Bay Marina. Keeping an eye on things while his friend is away travelling, Green wanted to do his part to help keep the boat clean and free from seagull droppings.
It started innocently. Beth was playing a video game on her 15-year-old daughter’s cellphone, when a text message arrived from a guy. It didn’t sit right. Suspicious about its sender, Beth texted back, unbeknownst to her daughter. “All I had to do to act like a 15-year-old girl was drop my vocabulary, add a few ‘yeahs’ and smiley faces,” she said. “I had the guy convinced.” She learned the man was 24, that he met her daughter on Nexopia, a social networking site. She also learned her daughter had sent him explicit photos of herself. “I texted him and said … ‘You know I’m 15, right? You don’t have a problem with that, do you?’ He said, ‘No, of course not, baby.’” The name Beth is a pseudonym used to protect her daughter’s identity, in compliance with a publication ban imposed by the court. Over five days, starting July 8, Beth exchanged dozens of messages with the man, with the goal of gathering evidence to secure a conviction. His intentions, she said, were “lewd and crude sexual acts.” When he initiated sexual texting, she invited him over on a premise of being at home alone. “I thought I better get this guy over here, and I better talk to him,” explained Beth. On July 13, he agreed to take the bus to Beth’s house. At first she wanted her own justice, but then had second thoughts and called police. Waiting by the door, holding pepper spray and wearing steel-toed boots, she didn’t know who would
arrive first. “My mother bear instincts kicked in, and I was just ready to take down somebody who presented a potential harm to my children.” Another text arrived: he was down the street and on his way. She ran out the door to meet him halfway, but police arrived first. Victoria police arrested Neil F., last name withheld, and confiscated his computer. He is charged with Internet luring of a person under 16, and invitation to sexual touching of a person under 16. “I want children to be aware. I want mothers to be aware,” said Beth, who has had serious conversations with her daughter on safety and the Internet. This is also a tale about another mother going to great lengths to keep her son out of harm’s way. Fiona Gow, a lawyer based in Oak Bay, adopted Neil as a baby. “(Neil’s natural mother) was honest. She told me she’d consumed alcohol and drugs during the initial part of the pregnancy,” said Gow. As a young child, Neil would light fires and call 911 when they got out of control. His fetal alcohol syndrome didn’t allow him to see the consequences. When calm, he was loving and caring, but when overwhelmed, he’d explode. He needed constant support. But when he turned 19, the provincial government ruled he no longer qualified for funding because his IQ of 79 was too high. Gow took her case to the B.C. Supreme Court. “They couldn’t just apply a blanket IQ test for determining who would or would not be eligible for services,” Gow said. Gow’s successful case made headlines, and Neil’s words at the time, in 2006, were sadly prophetic: “If I didn’t have support, I would choose the wrong way.” Since the arrest, Beth’s stomach has been churning constantly. But her perspective has evolved. “I don’t think we’re the real victims here. I think Neil is the real victim … I see him as someone needing help.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Dropped cash at police station
A Good Samaritan turned a “large amount of cash” in to police last week, said Const. Art Goodwin. The 21-yearold man found the money while walking in south Oak Bay. Police won’t release the amount or its location, but anyone wishing to claim the cash can call police at 250-5922424 and quote file 11-2595.

The drivers were stopped at 10:45 and 11:30 p.m. July 29 on Cadboro Bay Road and both admitted to smoking pot recently. They each turned over the remaining pot and received 24-hour licence suspensions, and had their vehicles towed. Police decided against forwarding charges of possession against the men.

Crash claims two cars
Two drivers were banned
police said, when two vehicles crashed last week. At 3:30 p.m. July 26, a car turned left at Henderson and Cedar Hill Cross roads into an oncoming vehicle. Both drivers, who were wearing their seatbelts, were uninjured. The driver of the left-turning vehicle received a $167 ticket for failing to yield. Both cars were towed, and together, damage was worth $3,000.

OUR VIEW
Good time to be better neighbours In the rather unremarkable wake of what had been made out to be a rather remarkable crisis, many Canadians are feeling awfully smug about how good we look compared to things across the border. Our dollar is strong, our government is solvent and our politics, for the moment, don’t seem as divisive or imprudent. But we’re fooling ourselves if we waste this time boasting. After all, we know firsthand what it’s like to suffer the same indignities currently facing the U.S. Which is why now is the time to stop grinning and start acting like better neighbours. Like most cities in this country, Greater Victoria has deep connections to the U.S. From early immigration to the border politics that define our geography to our reliance on American tourists, we have always had a close relationship with the people of the U.S. as well as their government. Four decades ago, former prime minister Pierre Trudeau uttered his famous line comparing Canada-U.S. relations to a mouse sleeping next to an elephant. Since then, we’ve been jostled by many little twitches and grunts, while constantly reminded how dependent we are on the superpower next door. That might explain why a dislike of America has become so palpable among our population. Yet Canadians have also experienced tremendous growth in our self-confidence as a nation. We’re no longer worried about looking small or incompetent in the eyes of our massive neighbour. In fact, we’re empowered by our success at overcoming significant obstacles. For example, history will be good to Paul Martin, a forgettable prime minister who deserves much more recognition for his work as finance minister. Martin helped tame Canada’s growing debt and made our current economic strength possible. That strength helped heal cultural divisions, at least for the time being, that once dominated federal politics. Americans might not bother to learn the lessons from Canada’s recent history, but they will no doubt recover from their self-made crisis. We have little to gain from being smug now and much to win from reminding our neighbours they have an old friend in their corner. What do you think?

Another disaster lurks in Africa With the famine in Somalia a new threat to millions of lives, it might seem an unlikely time to call for increased spending on HIV/TB co-infection. But the disaster in the Horn of Africa has been years in the making, in no small part due to global neglect. It’s the old thumbs twiddling while Rome burns. Much could have been done, but wasn’t, and now the world is responding after the fact, when countless lives have already been lost and aid much more difficult to provide. As in Somalia, there is another long-term disaster stalking Africa that is the result of neglect. But unlike Somalia, it is absurdly simple to solve. It is estimated that of the millions of individuals being treated for HIV infection (at a cost of hundreds of dollars a year per person), less than five per cent have been screened for TB, which is the primary killer of those living with HIV. This despite the fact that screening is very simple – eight questions are asked, and if the results are positive the patient is given a medical test. Treatment is less than $20 per year. It is estimated that two million HIV survivors will die from
preventable TB in the next three years. Somalia is an example of what happens when the world looks the other way, and given the violent politics of the region, easy or quick solutions to the crisis are not available. Recently the federal government committed $50 million in assistance and promised to match dollarfor-dollar any donations made by Canadians. This is laudable, but at the same time, Canadian funding for HIV has decreased, and spending on TB has been stagnating for years. We have a choice: we can bury the bodies after the fact, wasting millions of dollars in the process, or we can be proactive and easily save lives. TB might be less dramatic than dust storms and packed refugee camps, but the results are the same. Nathaniel Poole Victoria
Is Pamela Martin’s job of any value to taxpayers? Re: Pamela Martin’s new job irks reader (Letters, July 22) R. Boothman is right to be irked, if not incensed. Pamela Martin has now been on
the job as the premier’s director of outreach for about a month. At her salary of $130,000 per year, this means taxpayers have already given her more than $10,800 ($70 per hour). Can the premier, with her new open government policy, please tell us what value we got for that money? Roel Hurkens Victoria
Parking cops keep ‘outlaws’ under control I want to thank those responsible for parking enforcement policy in Victoria for keeping our sidewalks clear from overcrowding by shoppers. When recently driving down Johnson Street, I counted three parking officers within two blocks. You just don’t find that kind of service these days. Several store owners I spoke to cited hyper-vigilant parking enforcement as their biggest impediment to profitability, scaring away customers. Shame on them. Potential parking crimes are deserving of the high level of resources allocated to combat them. Take my own example. In a
two-hour parking zone I was over the limit by almost five minutes when quick action ticketed my wrongdoing. Mine was the only car parked on the entire length of the block at the time, however if someone had needed to park, say, a line of circus wagons, I would have hindered their lawful efforts. I carry my shame with head hung low. The terrible menace of parking outlaws and economic vibrancy is being successfully kept in check in our fair (fare) city. Ron Stefik Victoria
B.C. Transit creates recipe to kill ridership I am delighted to hear of the increased ridership for B.C. Transit. I wonder if the increase in ridership in Victoria had to do with the two-way transfer which would allow for a return ride and a shopping trip. Unfortunately, this excellent addition has now been cancelled. Perhaps we’ll see a decrease from now on? Joanna Wilkinson Victoria

Childrens’ creativity unleashed on stage Kids create a musical in one week at camp Ryan Flaherty News staff
A group of kids in the Capital Region are using their imaginations and creative spirit to create an original work of musical theatre as part of a unique summer camp dubbed Musical in a Week. The week-long program is the brainchild of professional musician Paul O’Brien, who already hosted one such camp earlier this summer, for children aged four to nine. The upcoming camp is geared towards kids between the ages of eight and 12. At Musical in a Week, O’Brien spends a week guiding children through the process of writing and staging an original musical. But it’s the kids themselves who come up with the content. “The children decide for themselves what they want to do,” O’Brien said. “There’s not a designated part for them to play. I want to empower them. It’s about expressing them-
selves in their own voice.” O’Brien’s background as both a teacher and a musician gives him a unique perspective when it comes to dealing with children. Though the task of coming up with an original show in the span of just five days seems daunting, he says once they get started, the kids really take the concept and run with it. “They create the characters. They create the storyline,” he said. “The subject matter can be anything from politics to bullying.” O’Brien, who also teaches guitar and performance from his own studio when he’s not on stage himself, came up with the musical-in-a-week concept after leading performance workshops at schools in the UK, Germany and Canada. The current model evolved from a project he worked on at St. Patrick’s school in Victoria. “I went to each class and wrote a single song with each class,” O’Brien explained. “As you can imagine, writing a musical with 400 children is nearly impossible.” With a smaller group, O’Brien said, it’s easier to create a full show, and the kids get to participate on a larger scale. Feedback from the first camp has been

in such a short timeframe. “I literally turn up on Monday morning with these children with no idea what’s going to happen,” he said. “By the end we have a completely contained musical.” Musical in a Week runs from Aug. 15-19 at St. Michaels University School, 3400 Richmond Rd. Cost is $250 per child. For more information, please visit www.smus.ca/life/ extension/holiday. editor@oakbaynews.com

Lawn bowling champ belies sport’s image Emma Prestwich News staff
For a 19-year-old, Jaymee Sidel has an uncommon interest. Sidel is the current B.C. junior lawn bowling champ, but it wasn’t her grandparents who introduced her to the sport. Instead it was the other way around. Sidel started lawn bowling competitively at age 11, following her sister, a three-time provincial and national champion. Soon after, her grandparents started playing and then her parents. While the three-time winner hasn’t managed to get any of her friends involved – “they kind of laugh at me,” she said – she loves the mix of low-impact activity and strategy. Sidel’s mother, Shelley, said she isn’t surprised so many members of their family play the relatively obscure game. She practiced archery and was a majorette growing up. “We’ve always been the oddball sport family to start with,” she said. Sidel plays out of Oak Bay Lawn Bowling Club in Carnarvon Park, along with one other teen, who she hopes will repre-
sent her age group when she moves out of the under-18 age group next year. The cut-off for the under-18s is Jan.1, and Sidel turned 19 on Jan. 26. It’s a loophole that allowed her to compete as both an under-18 and an under-25 player this year. She headed to Montreal Tuesday for the Canadian Junior Championships, where the level of competition will be a change from the B.C. scene. “It’s like going from kindergarten to college,” she said. She’s nervous about the fierce competition from Ontario, which has a much bigger field of juniors than in B.C. where only eight girls competed in this year’s provincials. But she’s confident in her skill, which earned her fourth place in last year’s nationals. If she does well, she can also compete in the qualifying event for the World Juniors tournament in Australia in September. Sidel plans to study theatre at the University of Victoria in the fall. UVic doesn’t have its own greens, so Sidel plans to keep playing at the Oak Bay club. “To me, it’s absolute fun.” sports@vicnews.com

Victoria Highlanders Ash Burbeary, left, checks Abbotsford Mariners Brent Wantke during a July 24 game at Royal Athletic Park.
Change is in the air for the Victoria Highlanders Football Club after general manager and vice president Drew Finerty announced plans to step down following the team’s elimination from the PDL playoffs last weekend. “The timing is now right for me to step aside and make way for new blood and direction,” Finerty said after Victoria lost 3-1 to the Fresno Fuego in California. For the past four years Finerty has been a fixture at the club. He says he wants to spend more time with his family, bring more balance to his life and take care of a minor health issue. “This club is a unique entity in the sports fabric of Vancouver Island where it is the only club to offer male and female programs with teams at the highest level (PDL and W-League) along with (U20) Reserve and (U18),” said Finerty. “I have held the dream job for the past four years.” Lucila Cardona will fill in for Finerty next year, said club owner Alex Campbell. “The near-term vision is to shore up the finances,” said Campbell. “The show must go on so we will certainly be here to play again next year.
Drew will be missed but we will try to win the ellusive championship next year.” Campbell praised Finerty’s ability to recruit players, fans, sponsorship and media. “For a small club like ours to be recognized with sponsorship from Coast Capital Savings is quite an honour. I really treasure that relationship and Drew did a fine job developing it. He really made the Highlanders what they are and he poured a lot of heart and soul into it and brought years of experience into the sport marketing work he did,” said Campbell. “We had been talking for probably six months or so about more of an opportunity for Drew to come in as a part owner of the club, so in stepping down he was saying no to that opportunity. He has a health issue as well which gave him pause to step back and think about what he really wanted.” Finerty has a long history of involvement in the local sports community. He was general manager for the Victoria Rebels, business development manager for the 2007 World BMX Championships, founder and president of the Island Pacific Roller Hockey League, general manager of the Victoria Riptides Soccer Club, and coached the Juan de Fuca Soccer Club. sports@vicnews.com

All pumped up Copsforcancer
The Tour de Rock demands total commitment from its riders – both on and off their bikes Sam Van Schie Black Press
W
hen the 22-person Tour de Rock cycling team rides across Vancouver Island this fall, they need to do more than just pump out 1,000 kilometres in two weeks. After a grueling day in the saddle, they still have school children to talk to and fundraisers to attend. “We need to get to the point where cycling 100 kilometres feels easy, so Special we don’t just feature want to go to bed after a Black Press ride,” said Island newspapers on District RCMP Vancouver Island Const. Manon will publish this Chouinard who, special feature before qualifying page spotlighting for this year’s police officers team, had never taking part ridden a road in this year’s bike. Canadian Cancer Since March Society riders have spent Cops for Cancer about eight Tour de Rock. hours per week on their bike with three mandatory weekly training sessions focusing on hills, speed and distance. If anyone misses a ride, they have to make it up on their own. “You don’t want to fall behind. Every week we’re building on what we did the week before,” Chouinard said. A recent hill-training included powering up Mount Washington, a steep 20-kilometre climb. When the training gets tough, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser said he just thinks about the reason he volunteered for the tour. “It’s all for the kids with cancer. We’re doing this by choice, but they don’t get an option to be sick or not,” said

Island District RCMP Const. Sandi Swanson, left, West Shore RCMP Const. Rod Fraser and Island District RCMP Const. Manon Chouinard are representing Victoria-area Mounties on this year’s Tour de Rock. Fraser, who as a teenager lost his father to cancer. Money raised by the Canadian Cancer Society Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock goes to pediatric cancer research. Since it started in 1998, the annual ride has raised more then $15 million. Riders set their own fundraising target and organize events to bring in donations. Island District RCMP Const. Sandi Swanson has fundraisers planned almost every weekend to meet her goal to raise $12,000. “I’m either at a fundraiser or planning a fundraiser,” Swanson said. Many of her fundraising ideas,
Nov 21 2011
from barbecues to garage sales, come from colleagues who did the ride in previous years. The ride has a roster of business sponsors who give in-kind donations to aid fundraisers. “We get nothing but support at every turn,” Swanson said. “Being a cop, we work long hours and see a lot of hard things. Seeing the other side, the generosity, and being able to give back, it’s an amazing opportunity.” Officers are only allowed to participate in Tour de Rock once in their career, which is extra incentive to give it their all. Fraser is hoping to raise $15,000 and Chouinard is aiming for
$20,000. In the next two months, there will be many fundraisers throughout the region with proceeds going to Tour de Rock. Swanson is holding drop-in jazzercise at the Pacific Institute for Sports Excellence in Saanich, Aug. 6 from 1 to 5 p.m. Fraser has a pancake breakfast and garage sale at the West Shore RCMP station in Langford, Aug. 13 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Chouinard hopes to see 400 people attend her “Tank-top, Flip-flop Hop,” a beach-theme dance party for all ages, at the Bay Street Armoury in Victoria, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m.
