Public piano problematic for Avenue resident K lara Woldenga loves music. But she’s beginning to hate the sound of the piano, especially when it’s being played poorly outside her bedroom window at 11:30 p.m. Woldenga and her boyfriend Jordan Peltier, live on Oak Bay Avenue, in an apartment directly behind Entrance park, just steps away from one of three pianos installed for two months as a public art project organized by the district and arts laureate Barbara Adams. “I woke up to it. There was a film crew there, they had a professional playing it. It was pretty,” she said of the initial Laura Lavin installation. But as the day wore on, more and more people Reporting played the piano, and most were not professionals. Some played for a few minutes, some for as long as an hour. Kids banged on the keys, and one mom used the instrument to give her daughter a piano lesson. By the end of the week, Woldenga was looking up the district’s noise bylaw. The bylaw states the playing of any musical instrument, whether in a private or public place in such a manner or with such volume liable to disturb the quiet, peace, rest, enjoyment, comfort or convenience of individuals or the public is prohibited. However, the bylaw does not apply to music in a public park or square in connection with any public meeting, public celebration or public gathering. “I called the bylaw officer, who was very rude to me, and told me the city counts it as a celebration. But this is for two months, so I don’t see that as counting. If it lacks melody, rhythm or it’s off-tune, it’s not music,” she said. The piano is supposed to be open from 10 a.m. to dusk, but the instrument is wrapped in tarp by a worker who gets there sometime between 9 and 10 p.m.

Camaraderie and competition collide each year as two groups of table tennis enthusiasts gather in a battle of wits – and entertainment.

“It’ll be a pretty good event; it goes from about 8:30 to about 4 p.m. Anybody can come in,” Wells said. “We have it at this time of the year because the centre isn’t so busy.” The award presentation is on July 17 at 2 p.m. at the recreation centre, 1442 Monterey Ave. But come early for the entertainment. “Our table tennis club’s got a lot of talent.

The district composts and recycles what it can, sending only the non-recyclables to the landfill. “It’s a growing problem in Oak Bay. We find that people are leaving garden debris in our parks, they’re leaving nonrecyclables in our parks,” said mayor Nils Jensen. “We spend approximately Submitted Items found in Anderson Hill Park $7,000 annually to that were turned in to Oak Bay Police remove debris that under the uncertainty whether they has been dumped were dumped as trash, or trashed as illegally throughout the municipality.

that contain glass and other dangerous components. “We really encourage people to do the responsible thing and recycle their junk, don’t just dispose of it in our parks,” Jensen said. “Not only is it a visual blight, it can result in creating dangerous situations.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

YES awards

Honouring oak Bay’s exceptional youtH

Music maker brings joy to jazz Rowing added to already active schedule Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Cam Henderson

Youth say YES to community This is the first in a series of nine profiles of Oak Bay youth – all 2014 YES Award recipients. Cam Henderson was the first of the 10 YES Award winners profiled in the Oak Bay News on the day of the awards banquet honouring some of the best and brightest Grade 6 to 10 students making a difference in the community. Read his story online at vicnews.com. Students were nominated based on volunteerism, exceptional academics, athletics and ability to overcome obstacles and were rewarded for their efforts in a ceremony at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre. A basketball, rugby, soccer, volleyball player and cross-country runner, 14-year-old Henderson captains two of his sports teams and carries an A average at Lansdowne middle school. “I like really working hard and impressing my teachers. I think it’s motivation to work harder (on) bigger things to work toward,” he said. “I think it will push me, to push myself more in athletics and in school, knowing that I can achieve something like that.” reporter@oakbaynews. com

Owen Jaques earned an Oak Bay YES Award after being nominated by all three of his teachers at École Lansdowne middle school where he recently finished Grade 8.

When a teacher asked trombone player Owen Jaques to pick up a bass trombone, he didn’t hesitate. The recently turned 14-yearold relished the new instrument and added it to his repertoire for the three different school bands he performs with: orchestra, jazz band and concert band. Music is a passion for one simple reason: “It’s fun,” he said. “I plan to play right through to Grade 12.” When pushed to pin a favourite, the Oak Bay teen admits jazz is a little above the rest. “In jazz band it starts getting some really cool chords … that little melody. It gets more complex,” he said. Jaques earned an Oak Bay YES Award after being nominated by all three of his teachers at École Lansdowne middle school, where he recently finished Grade 8. “It was the first time I’d won an award like this, so it was pretty cool,” he said. Described as a humble, quiet young man Jaques earned a Project X award earlier this school year for Extreme Kindness, an award given to students who exemplify kindness on a day-to-day basis. This year, his volunteerism included selling Poinsettias and Purdy’s chocolates to help raise funds for the school band tours. The Oak Bay News carrier (for about three years) holds a high academic standing with an A average in the French immersion stream at Lansdowne. He just wrapped a season with Carnarvon ‘A’ baseball and signed on to start rowing this month (July). He also participated in the school volleyball team from grades 6 to 8 at Lansdowne. He’ll play on his first ‘gold’ soccer team come September, just as he enters the halls of Oak Bay High for the first time as a Grade 9 student. He made the U15/16 Bays United Gold team. “I’m definitely excited about that,” he said. “It’s a higher skill level and I look forward to the challenge.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Sharing a passion for the ocean

rowing up in the East Kootenays, my playgrounds were the Rocky Mountains, alpine lakes and fields of wildflowers in the summer. I have always felt at home in nature and was more comfortable climbing trees, exploring the backcountry and snowboarding down steep, snow covered slopes than being a “city-slicker.” Although I have always loved – and will always have a special place in my heart for the mountains and rugged outdoors of BC’s interior – I Natasha Ewing became absolutely Tales from and utterly the tidepool enthralled with the ocean the first time I came to the West Coast. To this day, that passion has only grown deeper. My first vivid memory around the coast was flipping rocks on Sidney Island and watching the little shore crabs scurrying away. My cousins and I became masters at catching the little crustaceans and trying to have them race over the uneven terrain, which soon proved to be a futile game. Being comfortable on the shore soon grew to wanting to explore beneath the waves; to be face to face with animals and experience breathing underwater. My first SCUBA diving opportunity came in Costa Rica during spring break – practicing in the pool for an hour gave me the “credentials" to see a world unknown to many. Slowly swimming with a tank on my back, I was in complete awe; I felt a million miles away from anything I had ever known, yet felt completely calm and at home in the water. Maybe I truly was a water baby, or better yet, a sea goddess. Immediately after coming home from spring break, I enrolled in a PADI SCUBA diving course to gain my open water

Police on the lookout Get a Taste for the Tour for rose park pervert S A man was located by police in the Oak Bay rose garden at Windsor Park after he was alleged to be masturbating. This is the second instance in the last month where a man has been reported to be performing an indecent act in a public place. In the first incident on June 11, police received a report of a Caucasian man described as in his 50s wearing only shorts, masturbating on the beach

approximately 300 metres north of Glenlyon Norfolk School. The witness told police that the man did not stop when they walked by and that the man appeared to be watching children on the school grounds. The man was gone by the time police arrived. If you have recently witnessed a similar indecent act in Oak Bay, you are asked to contact the Oak Bay police at 250-592-2424. editor@oakbaynews.com

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Driver, passengers flee after rollover crash

A single vehicle crash occurred in the 2900-block of Beach Dr. at 2:30 a.m. on July 13. The investigation is still ongoing, but police say speed appears to be the cause. The vehicle lost control, hit a lamp post, rolled over and damaged a BC Hydro box and hedge. The four occupants were uninjured and fled the scene but were later found in different locations. “Given the amount of damage the vehicle sustained, it’s a miracle no one sustained any significant injury,” said community liaison officer Const. Rick Anthony.

Boat damaged during theft

A boat was boarded in Cadboro Bay on July 11 and a number of items of value were

removed. The boat sustained minor damage as a result of the theft.

‘One beer’ too many for driver

A vehicle was stopped during an impaired driving roadblock on Cadboro Bay Road and Eastdowne Road on July 12. The driver, who smelled of liquor, admitted to consuming “a beer” and failed on the roadside screening device twice. The driver was subsequently served with an immediate 90-day Roadside Prohibition.

Grocery shopper neglects to pay

A man entered Fairway Market, filled up a shopping cart full of food and left the store without paying last week. The Oak Bay police are investigating and a suspect has been identified. editor@oakbaynews.com

OUR VIEW

Quality of life trumps arts As I sat to speak with Klara Woldenga in her apartment above Oak Bay avenue, the piano in Entrance park suddenly came to life. It stopped the conversation mid-sentence; a sudden, jarring sound. We sat at her kitchen table, which was partially covered by a large puzzle in progress. The window beside the table was open, District should allowing a gentle compromise with breeze to break the warm afternoon. affected resident After a few minutes of chatting, Klara leaned over to close the window. The sound deadened, but continued on. The player had some skill and a repertoire of songs that provided the background to our conversation for some 25 minutes. As we spoke, the room grew warmer. Klara told me she was starting to feel “trapped” by the sound. She worried that she was being too sensitive. She told me she asked some of her friends who told her they wouldn’t want the piano right outside their home either. Neither would I. As Klara said to me at one point during our conversation, even if it was Mozart, you wouldn’t want to hear it 24/7. Klara took the time to call arts laureate Barbara Adams, who she said was very sympathetic to her plight. Adams told her they tried to find locations that were not close to residents, but it’s easy to see the apartment right behind the park. There is another across the street above a commercial property, much like Klara’s. The art installations in Oak Bay are here for the summer. The statuary are beautiful. The Gracepoint sign is an attraction to some and a cause for confusion to others. One person asked me, “What does it mean?” They live in Oak Bay, but outside of the village and never encountered the television production. The pianos are an exciting, interactive addition to the community, but in this case, perhaps a compromise is in order? What do you think?

insurance last fall. One reason why claims for bodily injury, pain and suffering, future care and loss of earnings are going up is that more people are hiring lawyers. Another reason is distraction, not just from mobile devices but also more pedestrians and cyclists in urban areas. Are drivers getting worse? A recent report out of Saskatchewan suggests they are. In 2013, only 48 per cent of new drivers in Saskatchewan passed their road test. The test hasn’t changed much in the past decade, and there are more immigrants who aren’t accustomed to highway driving, North America style. But a veteran driving instructor calls today’s new drivers “the weakest generation I’ve ever taught,” after they spent their formative passenger years watching TV or playing with game machines and other screens while on the road. “The awareness level isn’t where it was when I started 15 years ago,” Margot Podiluk told the Saskatoon Star-Phoenix. “Today’s generation, they’re so connected to electronic devices they don’t look out of car windows.” If raising speed limits is a mistake, accident statistics will soon tell the tale. My expectation is that on rural highways, speed limits are just catching up to the traffic. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com

Rotary flags will continue to fly Many Oak Bay residents will be familiar with the Canadian flags flying in the yards of our community on past holiday weekends. These flags are part of a fundraising project of the Rotary Club of Oak Bay – funds that go to local community projects. Nearly 200 flags were placed for Canada Day. However, what few residents know is that each holiday a few flags go missing. Unfortunately, over the Canada Day weekend, six flags were taken from a single block, which is quite distressing both to us as Rotarians and to the residents themselves.

Several of the poles were recovered but the stolen and now damaged flags had been ripped off of them. I want to reassure Oak Bay residents that this will not deter us from continuing and expanding our Canada Flag project, as we believe that it enhances a sense of community among the residents of Oak Bay. On behalf of the Rotary Club of Oak Bay I wish to thank all those who have supported and continue to support our work. Dr. Jim Force, President Rotary Club of Oak Bay

Speed signs in wrong locale Congratulations to Oak Bay for finally realizing we have a speeding problem and having new speed signs installed. But on Oak Bay Avenue? The mayor wants to introduce these signs to the residents and feels the Avenue is the best place to do it. Who speeds on that street? It’s next to impossible with the congestion, and of course

the myriad of crosswalks. Cadboro Bay Road is by far the best location and I’d be willing to bet that the majority of people who (try to) drive on Oak Bay Avenue have seldom driven on Cadboro Bay Road. Christine Elliot Oak Bay

Is cull really a one-off plan? There appears to be some confusion about the latest on the deer cull. The mayor says it may not happen because of the lack of traps and the termination of the CRD’s pilot project. On the other hand, the mayor wants Oak Bay to build the traps and is also urging the CRD to continue with the project. Then there is talk about further expenses. I would like to know how the number 25 was derived. Arbitrarily? Based on fact? Are there really that many deer in Oak Bay? Not according to my experience.

If so, show us the numbers. Are the car accidents up over last year? We are taxpayers and entitled to know the true facts. Here is the clincher. Does the mayor think the cull will only take place this year and not be repeated next year and the years after? Any animal expert will tell you a cull is really ineffective unless done on a regular basis. If it does happen again, will the residents of Oak Bay be happy about having to pay more tax dollars for this? Dorothy Slater Oak Bay

Clarification In Helen Slade’s letter of July 9 (Plan should include dogs), she did not make the statement: “This vision for a dog friendly environment needs to be enunciated clearly in the next OCP.” The statement was from page 20 of the Windsor Park Dog Group’s report to council on dog management. The News apologizes for the error.

Don Denton/News staff

An injured doe takes shelter in a back yard in the 3400-block of Henderson Rd. after the deer and one of her two fawns was struck by a car on July 7.

More cull concerns When the deer cull was announced, one of the biggest concerns listed for mayor and council were the motor vehicle incidents involving deer. In a November 2013 article in the newspaper, the mayor stated that 23 deer carcasses were picked up by public works crews already. According to statistics from Oak Bay’s public works from the end of August 2013 there were only nine involving vehicles. This year, until the end of May, there have been 15 deer deaths but only six from car accidents. The remainder were from other causes,

Tribute to teachers applauded I’d just like to congratulate you and your staff on the excellent Great Teachers section in the June 27 paper. During this time of terrific stress and tension surrounding our school system and teachers in B.C., it was a refreshing and well deserved change to celebrate and honour the amazing people who work so hard for our children in the classrooms on the South Island. Your article was an exceptional reminder of how much kids and parents value and appreciate these phenomenal, hard working individuals. Val Bruce Victoria

some unknown, some from injuries, possible illness and one shot with an arrow. Obviously looking at these numbers, car incidents do not make up the biggest problem. Because a deer falls and dies must there be a cull? Deer will die from other reasons in other municipalities and even in the wild. Announcing that a large number of deer have died in a municipality should not confuse the reader into believing they were all vehicle related. William Jesse Oak Bay

Boys and Girls Club looking for care homes Drew McLachlan News staff

The Boys and Girls Club of Victoria is looking for families to open up their homes to at-risk youth, providing both a safe place to live and a much needed role model. First implemented in 1996, the care home program services youth between the ages of 13 and 19 who are either sexually exploited, undergoing substance abuse counselling, involved in the youth justice system or at risk of becoming homeless. Families can also provide semi-independent suites for young women who are pregnant or in the early stages of parenting. Carol Hayhurst, a 71-year-old widow from Victoria, has been a care home mother for six years, and has welcomed 20 kids into her home. “A lot of the kids look up to you,” Hayhurst said. “You’re doing things that nobody’s done for them before – none of them have had easy lives, and you’re showing them that there’s a different way to live.” Many of the children Hayhurst has taken into her home still remain a part of her life, despite moving on to have their own families. “Some of them even call me grandma,” she joked. Though families are provided with compensations and receive the same training as foster parents – including mandatory monthly training on youth mental health and trauma – supervisor Erin Ewart said the care home program differs in sev-

eral ways. Families care for only one youth at a time, for three to 12 months, and receive more interaction with youth workers and extended staff. There are 23 homes in Victoria involved in the program, though the Boys and Girls Club is looking for five more.

Vision Matters Dr. Neil Paterson

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Protect your eyes from UV radiation The sun supports all life on our planet; however, it’s life giving rays also pose dangers. The Principle danger is in the form of ultraviolet (UV) radiation. UVradiation is a component of solar energy, but it can also be given off by artificial sources like welding machines, tanning beds and lasers. UV radiation is divided into UV-A, UV-B and UV-C. UV-C is absorbed by the ozone layer and does not present any threat (man made sources of UV-C, like electric welding arcs, are very harmful to the eyes, if you do not use proper protection). That’s not true of UV-A and UV-B. Scientific evidence now shows that exposure to both UV-A and UV-B can have damaging long and short term effects on your eyes and vision. If you are exposed, unprotected, to excessive amounts of UV radiation over a short period of time, your are likely to experience a condition called photokeratitis. Like a “sunburn of the eye” it may be painful and you may have symptoms including red eyes, a foreign body sensation or gritty feeling in the eyes, extreme sensitivity to light and excessive tearing. Fortunately, this is usually temporary and rarely causes permanent damage to the eyes. Long term exposure to UV radiation can be more serious. Scientific research has shown that exposure to even small amounts of UV radiation over a period of many years may increase your chance of developing a clouding of the lens of the eye called a cataract and cause damage to the retina, the nerve-rich lining of your eye that is used for seeing. Damage to the lens or the retina is usually not reversible. The effects of UV radiation are cumulative. The longer your eyes are exposed to UV radiation, the greater the risk of developing conditions such as cataracts in later life. Therefore, you should wear quality sunglasses that offer good protection and a hat or cap with a wide brim whenever you are working outdoors, participating in outdoor sports, taking a walk, running errands or doing anything in the sun. To provide protection for your eyes, your sunglasses should: block out 99 to 100 per cent of both UV-A and UV-B radiation; screen out 75-90 per cent of visible light; be perfectly matched in color and free of distortion and imperfection; and have lenses that are gray, green or brown. If you spend a lot of time outdoors in bright sunlight, wrap around frames provide additional protection from harmful UV radiation. Be sure to see your Doctor of Optometry regularly for a thorough eye examination. It is a good way to monitor your eye health, maintain good vision and keep up to date with new advances in UVprotection.

Loyalists celebrate The United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada will honour its 100th anniversary with the unveiling of a new commemorative stone in the Mayor’s Grove at Beacon Hill Park on July 22. The stone was first laid when King George VI and Queen Elizabeth visited Victoria in 1939 – the first reigning monarchs to do so. While here, the royal couple also planted a tree. Over the years, the stone has deteriorated, so the Loyalists association thought its 100th anniversary would be the perfect time for a new stone, said spokesman Frans Compeer. Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon will unveil the stone at 2 p.m., followed by cake and refreshments. editor@oakbaynews.com

The Oak Bay Tennis Club hosted its third annual Juniors Challenger tournament this past weekend, with more girls entering this year than ever before. With Canadian player Eugenie Bouchard rising to number seven in the world, young tennis players have a strong role model to look up to, someone who’s made quite the splash in the tennis world, and parents are taking notice. “Three years ago Eugenie Bouchard played a Vancouver tournament, and then she made it to Wimbledon,” said Sarah Michieli, whose daughter Jessa, 12, has been playing since she was five years old. “In the last two years, there’s been a huge jump in younger girls playing.” Jessa, who competed for the third year running in the tournament, is coached by Oak Bay’s own Art Hobbs, though the Michielis live in the Cowichan valley. Eleven-year-old local Devon Mills, Jessa’s opponent, has also been playing since she was five, and was excited and nervous for her first tournament. Devon and her mother, Anne, are both members of the Oak Bay tennis club, and the tournament offered a close to home opportunity for Devon to get some more competitive experience on the court.

Both girls cited Bouchard as one of their favourite players, and are a clear example of the increasing interest of younger players. “When (Bouchard) won Junior Wimbledon (two years ago), that was the first time we really took notice,” said Victor Anonsen, tennis professional at the club. Since then, he said he’s seen a marked increase in people playing, especially on the numerous public courts in town. It’s a great sport for kids to get involved in, said Anonsen. “It’s a game for life. Anybody can play it. All you need is one other person, a racquet and a ball.” He noted that it is beneficial to have a few lessons when first beginning to learn the proper mechanics, as he believes it’s the most difficult of the racquet sports, and that it’s “good to have someone experienced to keep you from just chasing the ball around.” For girls in particular, having strong tennis skills can also lead to university scholarships, he said. This year’s round of the Tennis BC-sanctioned tournament finished with Michieli winning the under12 category, and Mills bringing in runner-up. Tennis has always been a popular sport, and with the buzz that Bouchard’s been making, it’s clear that players of a younger generation are taking up their racquets in earnest. angela.cowan@vicnews.com

New store makes for an even dozen for Quality Foods Don Descoteau News staff

For more than 30 years, Quality Foods has built a following on the mid- and North Island. In the span of a year or so, the independent grocer will open not one, but two stores on the West Shore, its first outlets in Greater Victoria. â€œWeâ€™ve long had an eye to Victoria, but the opportunities were few and far between,â€? said Rob McKay, Quality Foods marketing director. This weekâ€™s opening of its store in Langford marks the companyâ€™s first foray into what McKay admits is a highly competitive grocery market. Quality Foods has some momentum going in, he said. â€œThere seems to be a pent-up demand for Victoria. Weâ€™ve been getting phone calls and emails and personal comments from people asking us, â€˜when are you guys coming down here?â€™â€? The Langford Parkway location is store number 12 for the company, which began in 1982 when partners Ken Schley, John Briulo and Noel Hayward restored an abandoned grocery store in Qualicum Beach. The next location in this area will be in View Royal, on the site of the development at the corner of Helmcken Road and Watkiss Way near Victoria General Hospital. It is due to open sometime in 2015. Langford Mayor Stew Young is excited for the economic opportunities the new Quality Foods will bring to his community, with 75 to 100 jobs to be filled initially. â€œThe jobs that it creates is obviously number one for our community. Itâ€™s great that another large employer has decided that Langford is a great place to move,â€? he said. â€œWe have some of the strongest growth in the region. A lot of our residents need the jobs.â€? In addition to offering employment opportunities, the new Quality Foods will also provide another grocery option closer to home for Langford residents, said Young, as well as injecting some friendly competition into the mix.

â€œItâ€™s healthy for our community â€Ś and itâ€™ll possibly lower prices for food which is always a good thing,â€? he said. McKay said the location of the store is ideal, with its proximity to the new Capital Iron store, as well as City Centre Park. â€œWeâ€™re hoping to draw from a greater population area, but our focus, of course, is the West Shore community,â€? he said. â€œThatâ€™s pretty good in and of itself.â€? Capital Iron owner Mike Black said at the time of his storeâ€™s opening in April that the impending opening of Quality Foods was part of his companyâ€™s decision to locate in the former furniture store plaza. Jordan Schley, Kenâ€™s son, is manager of the new store and brings enthusiasm and family pride to the job, McKay said. Among the features the new store brings is something it calls Island Smokehouse Barbecue, complete with an in-house smoking oven to create such items as barbecued pulled pork, beef brisket and other gourmet items. McKay said Quality Foods has been a pioneer in terms of bringing specialty foods and services to its stores, from freshly made Chinese food and in-store cafĂŠs to old-style delis. A special seniorsâ€™ shopping night went ahead on Wednesday, July 9, with the official grand opening on July 10. For more on Quality Foods, visit qualityfoods.com. â€“ with files from Angela Cowan editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Grocer tech savvy n For customers who are accustomed to using their smartphones for shopping, Quality Foods has just the ticket. Their app, which is linked to oneâ€™s Q card (loyalty program), allows shoppers to accept a special online-only deal on their phone, then have it automatically rung in for that price at the checkout once your Q card is scanned.

Sounds too good to be true? Believe it! Tried and true for thousands of years, threading is an ancient Asian method of hair removal that, in recent times, has been embraced by men and women in Western countries as their hair removal method of choice.

Practitioners at Kurves Brow Bar can make you look like a star too, and all with a thin, pure cotton thread and the technicianâ€™s deft and artful hands.
