ARTS LAUREATE SPREADS CULTURE
EYE ON ARTS Bullrushes stand strong, appearing only slightly out of place, catching the light on Beach Drive. It’s the vision of artist Illarion Gallant, who loaned the sculpture to Oak Bay for the summer as the community dips its toes into the public art pool.

Landscape artist Illarion Gallant with his Bullrushes art installation. He loaned the piece located on Beach Drive to Oak Bay for the summer. “You could see someone painting here, or singing an aria,” she said. “This is a good spot for an art space.” Her vision includes five art spaces linked by 20 standalone pieces. “It draws attention to it … people can see what’s possible,” Gallant said. “It provides a cycling tour, a walking tour. It provides an anchor in Oak Bay for people to do a tour of Oak Bay,” she added.

Nathan Scott’s The Landing went up at municipal hall last week.
ak Bay’s arts laureate Barbara Adams conjured up the pilot project this summer that will include three sculptures, three pianos and a Gracepoint remnant, all placed throughout the community to introduce residents to the joy of public art. “It’s her vision, and she’s really taken the concept of public art and made it a reality for the summer to show the community it’s possible,” said Janet Barclay manager of recreation program services for Oak Bay. The three artworks including Bullrushes are on loan for the summer by the artists themselves. Bullrushes is on Beach Drive at the foot of Landsdowne Road; municipal hall lawn will hold Nathan Scott sculptures and Chris Paul will install a piece near the Oak Bay Marina. Adams’ hope is for each of those sites to become art spaces, part of her overall goal to see 25 permanent art installations in Oak Bay.
Saanich artist Illarion Gallant starts with drawings. With the details just right, he copies and expands, then has the final product created using water jet cutting. Bullrushes is a leftover piece from a similar field installed in Chestermore, Alberta. “It’s just a model for a piece I’ve been working on,” said Gallant with a chuckle. “I made it for my wife. She owns all my sculptures. I had to borrow it from her.”

Outdoor arts a booster for all At first glance – especially during times when everyone is checking their spending and keeping a keen eye on the spending of government, the idea of spending Pianos will provide $7,500 on an a unique opportunity arts laureate – essentially an arts booster – in a community of some 18,000 might seem a bit of a non-starter. But mayor Nils Jensen convinced his council to jump aboard and found funding through a variety of sources, including the community initiatives committee, the Oak Bay business improvement association and Oak Bay tourism and hand-picked Barbara Adams, who took on the task in January. A former teacher, Oak Bay’s arts and culture ambassador has moved ahead full steam over the spring and suddenly art is popping up all over the municipality – and what a pleasure it is to see. Adams’ vision includes five art spaces with some 20 other pieces scattered around the community and she is off to a great start with temporary installations by well-known artists Chris Paul, Nathan Scott and Illarian Gallant, all locals whose work can be found around the world. Not only will the pieces of public art create conversation among residents, but they will add to the attraction of Oak Bay for other Greater Victoria residents and out-of-town visitors as well. While at times public art can be controversial – who remembers the furor over artist Mowry Baden’s Pavilion, Rock and Shell when it was installed in front of the Save-on-Foods Memorial Arena in 2005? – it can also help build community by crossing socio-economic barriers and racial or religious stereotypes and allow us to share our cultural heritage and creativity. A plus for our community is the interactive element the painted pianos will provide. Not only have they been decorated by students, but they will provide an outlet for everyone to let their inner artist shine. What do you think?

holders also get out from under the federal Indian Act, which remains in force despite this latest decision. One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

LETTERS
Protest the protest Mayor Nils Jensen is raising the alarm that the average annual cost in Oak Bay for the sewage treatment plan could rise from $450 to around $1,000 per household. But he has been our representative on the CRD Sewage Committee, along with Coun. John Herbert, and should take his share of the blame for the whole mess. Also, he mentions the Washington State Governor’s criticism of our lack of sewage treatment. Although complicated, the daily flows
of water through the Strait of Juan de Fuca show that almost all water from our Victoria outfalls flows straight out into the Pacific. The water from Puget Sound, where pollution now comes mainly from stormwater outflow (reported in the Seattle press as a problem), does potentially pollute our Victoria waters. Could Mayor Jensen, study this and perhaps write a competing letter of protest to Washington State? Dr. Michael J. Platts Oak Bay
Low density more desirable
Unfortunately Alan Breakspear’s letter Failing to plan is planning to fail (letters, June 18) is significantly off the mark. Perhaps he is unaware that Oak Bay already has an official community plan which the present council wishes to change to increase density. Neither the mayor (for whom I voted) nor the four councillors who consistently vote together were elected on higher density platforms. What makes Oak Bay one of the most desirable places to live in Greater Victoria? Is it not lower density? Former mayors and councillors for several generations have protected Oak Bay from higher density developments which are found in many other municipalities and such increase in density has not made for better living conditions. Maintaining strict zoning rules has created living conditions we enjoy today and to change that will not create a better place to live. I worked downtown for 35 years and
observed higher density in action. It was supposed to eliminate drug addicts and panhandling. Mr. Breakspear, do you ever go downtown? Does anyone remember Harry Elsdon and his zealous efforts to enforce Oak Bay bylaws? We need governance that will keep the cost of operating the municipality down and increased density will not do that. As to more rentals, many years ago I asked W.A.C. Bennett why he instituted the homeowner’s grant and his response was clear – promoting home ownership creates more stability in a community. Let the fall election direct the future of our neighbourhoods. I say let the mayor and four councillors run in the upcoming election promoting increased density. Perhaps other competent citizens will step forward to continue on our present planning path that has served us so well during these last number of decades. Patrick Skillings Oak Bay
Spend on roads not cull Why is this mayor so hell-bent on killing deer? The provincially-owned traps are not available and the funding is no longer there. But being determined to appease the obvious minority of deer haters his worship wants to take my tax dollars and build his own traps and carry on with the cull despite the CRD funding.
What is going on here? Why not take my tax dollars and pave some of these ox paths we called roads? Thank goodness this is an election year and we can only pray that people with common sense runs for mayor and council. Christine Lloyd Oak Bay
Modern housing a conflict of cultures According to an article by Kerry Gold in the Globe and Mail of Saturday, May 31, Vancouver is losing its heritage homes. The article is entitled “As pace of demolition quickens, protest grows.” The subtitle is “Over a three-year period, 2,243 west side houses have been torn down and replaced with new buildings.” Why are those peons protesting? The new houses are obviously more beautiful than the old. The landfills could use more piles of irreplaceable old wood. The Institute of Civil Engineers says the new houses “use up to eight times more natural resources than the restoration of an equivalent old house.” Who cares as long as the developers are pumping big bucks into the starving city economy? Ha ha. It appears there is a similar trend in Oak Bay. Here too, it seems that builders are looking around for so-called “demobait.” We moved here because of the character of Oak Bay, and also the “characters” here: people who
appreciate beauty and heritage more than size and comfort. Could it be that in recent years, our civic leaders have become more interested in “development” than preservation? I’m fine with “densification” when it’s moderate and careful, such as allowing secondary suites. But I don’t understand those who think that tall buildings shaped like a box or a jumble of boxes are aesthetically pleasing. In his 2005 book, The Cube and the Cathedral, George Weigel wrote of the loss of “civilizational morale” in Western Europe. I disagree with most of his analysis of the reasons for this loss, but his use of the contrast between the modernist Grande Arche and the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris is an apt illustration of the conflict of cultures I see in Victoria. Will we let Oak Bay degrade into an agglomeration of cubist housing? I hope not. Jim Hill Oak Bay
Not all beaches have gone to the dogs Re: OCP lacks beaches, (letters June 25). I must take issue with Ms. Slade’s letter to the editor regarding the claim that the Dog Report, submitted by the Windsor Park Dog Group to Oak Bay council, targeted all Oak Bay beaches for year-round dog walking. That is not the case. The report stated quite clearly that many of the beaches and parks in the Oak Bay area should continue to restrict dog access and leave the current restrictions in place.

Six girls who love to sing were thrown together in September. “We are all in a choir at school and we were selected, the six of us, to create a smaller group and go further with our musicality,” said Caitlin Troughton, who enters Grade 10 at Oak Bay High come September. They sing under the name Nitesco, which means ‘to begin to shine’ in Latin, a sentiment they felt appropriate for the endeavour, Troughton explained. “We didn’t even know each other,” said Amara Digout, who just finished Grade 10 at Oak Bay High. “We didn’t realize we’d be performing and going to festivals and stuff.” The girls held up to their name, earning a provincial choral win at Performing Arts BC. “They’re hard working, they put in extra time

on the weekends,” said Tina Horwood, leader and mom to one of the girls in the group. “I wasn’t surprised they were sent to provincials.” They earned an ear at the provincial level with a nod from the Greater Victoria Performing Arts Festival that only recommended two choirs advance to the next level. One of their members was sick heading into the Victoria festival, and the group was sad to leave her behind the day of the competition. “We were on our way out to the festival … we went back and picked her up even if she couldn’t perform. It was so much for all of us to be there together,” Digout said. “Even though she couldn’t sing, it wasn’t really fair after all the work we put into it, to not have here there. We’re all in this together.” Singers Hadley Parsons, Kyla Gilmour, Patricia Horwood and Briar Rose Redchurch round out Nitesco. They learned two months after their submission, via text message, they’d won the provincials. “It was incredible. It took me by surprise. It was really, really exciting,” Troughton said. “We were a new group and the six of us, now we are best friends, and it’s a lot of fun. We sing together and hang out and do crazy stuff together.” At the provincial level, adjudicators get a biography of the group and an audio recording taken during the local festival. “To actually win provincials when you’re up against choirs from the Mainland and Okanagan is quite something,” Tina Horwood said. Nitesco, made up of Grade 9 and 10 students, didn’t have an appropriate class for competition, so they were pitted against older choirs. “It just makes it that much more exciting,” Horwood said. “When you hear them sing, you can’t tell how young they are.” Much like the provincial competition, where notification came as a surprise, they don’t know when they’ll hear the results from the national competition. And they’re not worrying about it. “We’re just relaxing for summer,” Digout said. “Then kick it back up in fall.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Summer school goes to sea Kayaking program takes kids beyond the classroom Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Doug Tyrrell has every kind of canoe and kayak imaginable. He’s put them all to good use too, introducing kids to the ocean through school and public programs. For the past 18 years he’s run the marine adventure programing at Glenlyon Norfolk School starting the young kids with small adventures and working up to weeklong excursions for senior students. “It’s a full time program throughout the school season,” Tyrrell said. “When they get to Grade 11 and 12 in the school program, it’s more of an outdoor program where it’s a full year,” he said. Students start in September with training trips, working up to their selfplanned and prepared trip as graduation approaches. In the summer, he hosts public programs. Eden Wallis, who enters Grade 12 this fall at Mount Doug, has participated in three different trips developing what she expects will be a lifelong hobby of kayaking and camping. “We go back every year, my friend and I. It’s really awesome to be able to pack everything you need for a week into a little boat,” she said. “Doug is the neatest. He tours us around all
pop their head out of the water close to your boat is quite exciting, especially when you’re not used to it.” The program includes teen day camps for 11- to 14-year olds to oneweek adventures, for those 15 and older, in Barkley Sound and on the Johnstone Strait. “The idea is to give everybody a positive, fun experience. (Kayaking is) an easy thing to be able to do as young as 10,” Tyrrell said. “You can paddle when you’re well into your 90s.” For more information on camps available this summer visit mygns.ca and search for marine adventure camps. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.
Eye hazards in the backyard Some day soon the rain will stop, and we will venture outdoors to do dour bit in making Victoria “the Garden City”. Before setting out to tame your own personal wilderness, stop and think about your eyes (and other body parts). Pruning and trimming can be hazardous. A branch snapping back and hitting the eye can cause mechanical damage and possibly toxic reaction or infection. A projectile, from a weedeater or lawnmower, can also cause serious damage to your body. Perhaps you use an arsenal or herbicides and pesticides to help control your garden? Or you have a pool which requires chlorine? These chemicals aren’t eye-friendly either. If you do splash a chemical in the eye, flush the eye immediately with vast, huge, enormous quantities of clean cold water; then go to Emergency if necessary. The good news is that eye protection is simple and inexpensive. Safety glasses and goggles that fit over prescription glasses are all that is required, and you can find them in your local hardware store. Our local eye surgeons would rather spend their weekends with their families than treating ocular injuries that are easily prevented. Have a happy and safe spring and summer.

Pianos invite you to express yourself Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
Oak Bay arts laureate Barbara Adams can’t wait for the first #OBpaintedpiano selfie. The hashtag’s premature perhaps, but the pianos are at the ready, freshly tuned last week and put in place this week for flash mobs, wedding proposals, or impromptu concerts. Adams scoured online listings in search of pianos to have artists paint for placement in the public this summer and even got one donated. Then the three instruments were sent to local schools where artists worked alongside students to complete the artwork. “I wanted the kids to be part of it,” said Adams, a former Monterey school arts teacher. “They’re not afraid of art.” At Monterey Middle school, where Adams developed a thriving arts program, Deryk Houston painted a piano and allowed students to sign their name.
Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff
The piano painted by artist Deryk Houston and his young helpers at Monterey middle school. It will be among those dotting the Oak Bay landscape as public art. students and their intrigue with him as a story teller in paint,” said Monterey principal Judy Harrison. It didn’t take long for the musically inclined students
“The students took a few days to realize why a piano was being painted, then not only did it draw interest, but the artist, Deryk Houston, was engaging with the
to discover the completed colourful piano in the foyer. “I was delightedly disturbed when I heard students playing a few melodies as they came or went through the doors,” Harrison said. “This summer, I hope to catch some of our students visiting it again at the sea.” Houston’s work on the piano is called “Imagine” and it will be stationed at Oliver Street and Beach Drive. Robert Amos’ “Sub Quercu Felicitas” (from the Oak Bay coat of arms) painted alongside kids from Oak Bay High will be stationed at Oak Bay Avenue and Foul Bay Road. Crystal Heath’s “Boom Box” will be at Willows beach on the esplanade, not far from Willows elementary where she did her work with young students. “You’ve got two months, use them,” Adams said, in essence firing the starting pistol. What hashtag will you use to tweet your selfie? Let us know by email at editor@ oakbaynews.com. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com
Gracepoint sign a part of the fun Continued from Page A1
The fourth work is a piece of memorabilia from the 10-part television drama Gracepoint that finished filming in Oak Bay this spring. “We were given loan of the ‘Gracepoint’ sign and they’re hoping to put it down by Turkey Head for the two months,” said Barclay. “We think it would be just a fun community thing to have.” Nathan Scott’s bronze sculptures of Piper (his dog but you will have to search for her) and The Landing (in a more obvious location) went up near municipal hall last Thursday afternoon, just in time for the public Canada Day celebration Friday. “Not everybody can afford their own sculpture. It’s enjoyable to see how people enjoy art,” said Scott. “It’s better than them sitting in my studio.” The official opening starts at 11 a.m. on Saturday, July 5 in Entrance Park at the corner of Oak Bay Avenue and Foul Bay Road. The arts laureate’s budget is funded through $2,500 from the community initiatives committee, $2,500 from

Tiny branch honours strong community roots Laura Lavin News staff
Humanitarian and animal rights activist Marion Cumming was honoured by a group of her peers recently. Local conservationists and supporters of heritage architecture, green space and wildlife created a new citizens’ award to acknowledge individuals who have made significant accomplishments in these areas. “The first recipient of the Golden Oak Award was Marion Cumming, well known in Oak Bay for her tireless work for conservation of plants, animals, heritage buildings and gardens, as well as for various arts and cultural causes,” said Barbara Julian. A group of 30-odd fans met for an award lunch in a beautiful Oak Bay garden on May 31, to present Cumming with a golden oak branch as well as a live oak seedling. “It was a lovely gathering,” said Cumming. “It was quite a surprise.” Last fall the group wanted to nominate Cumming for a Capital Region Ecostar award, given to locals who help make the CRD a more vibrant, liveable region, only to discover those awards have been discontinued. With a little ingenuity, the group organized its own award. “It wasn’t given by an established group, but rather a disparate collection of people who have worked with Marion over the years on the array of things she does,” said Julian. “A different bunch were planning a lunch for Marion

When we see something that, in our perception is wrong, or we feel it would be good to make improvements on we do that. … I’d like to think that a number of us are motivated by the thought of giving back what we feel we’ve been blessed with – it’s a compulsion to share with others.” The group decided to acknowledge more grassroots leaders in future years who “inform, inspire and bring together multiple groups and individuals for common ecological ends.” “I hope it will be presented every year as a way of promoting our shared ideals,” said Cumming. editor@oakbaynews.com
to thank her for her work for wildlife (at the same time) so we combined the two schemes. Marion has an enormous effect on her admirers, linking them together and inspiring them to keep working for conservation, heritage, cultural causes of all kinds even when the going gets tough.” Cumming was humbled by the “charming little branch” awarded to her. “It’s not gold. It’s really painted yellow, but I loved that touch. It’s so homemade and cheerful.” The 77 year old said any one of those who honoured her for her work in the community could have been singled out as well. Included in the group were Pat Wilson (chair, Oak Bay Heritage Commission); Jill Croft (Community Association of Oak Bay); Carolyn Chodeck, Terri Hunter and Jane Ramsay (Oak Bay Green Committee); Frances
