Ten-day street performer festival kicks off Friday with more than 100 international and local acts ready to perform Kevin Laird

Akron works eight months of the year full-time as a busker and then takes some downtime. Last year he also performed on Pier 39 in San Franciso. “The show has evolved over the last 18 years. I’ll keep some things, take away things and add new things.” For Gregg, a Fernwood resident, his busking tricks are a door to comedy. “The tricks are an excuse to tell jokes,” he said. Gregg has been a busker for 15 years. He taught himself how to juggle while attending Saanich’s Mt. Doug High School.

Victoria busker Akron performs one of his unique balancing tricks. He performs through the summer along the Inner Harbour.

Akron and Aaron Gregg are street workers. For the two Victoria professional street performers, more commonly known as buskers, the Victoria International Buskers Festival opens a door of opportunity. Both Gregg and Akron work regularly along the Inner Harbour in a rotation with other street performers through the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority. With more people in town for the festival, the two expect their donation caps to be brimming with Please see: money over the next 10 days. All buskers welcome, Page A4 More than 100 professional street performers are expected to attend this year’s festival from July 18 to 27. The free festival includes worldclass break dancers, acrobatic spectacles, stage plays and mimes on seven stages throughout the downtown core, said executive director John Vickers. “We’re presenting more than 1,000 hours of programming. It really is a spectacular amount of busker talent.” Akron, 39, has been busking for more than 18 years, the last four in Victoria. His act is full of comedy, juggling and fire. “What I really like (about juggling) is the ability to pull people off the street and give them a theatre performance,” he said. “A lot of what I do in Victoria is discovering what appeals to Kevin Laird/News staff audiences.” Juggler Aaron Gregg has been a busker for more than 15 years.

DVBA seeks renewal, funding increase Drew McLachlan News staff

CORPORATION OF THE TOWNSHIP OF ESQUIMALT

1229 Esquimalt Road Esquimalt, B.C. V9A 3P1 250-414-7100

NOTICE OF MEETINGS COUNCIL SUMMER RECESS July 21 through August 15, 2014 For further information, please call 250-414-7135 or our website @ www.esquimalt.ca/council

The Downtown Victoria Business Association is seeking an increase in funding, but some city councillors believe the association should be doing more with their money. Along with a five-year renewal, the DVBA is asking council to approve a two per cent increase in funding to reflect cost of living. Though the city contributes to individual projects, this money would be collected from DVBA members. A total of $5.2 million would be collected before the next renewal process in 2019. Currently, disapproving members can sign a counter-petition, which would disband the DVBA should it

be signed by 50 per cent of the membership. During the last renewal process in 2009, the DVBA received a funding increase of 2.5 per cent, with the counter-petition being signed by only one of the 710 members. However, councillor Ben Isitt want to see more input from businesses before the DVBA is renewed. “The counter-petition doesn’t say a lot, and it would be good to know more about how well the DVBA is serving (business owners),” Isitt said. “Even receiving letters from downtown businesses, expressing what changes they want to see, would help. I don’t know whether or not that sort of information exists; it

hasn’t been gathered yet.” “For something like that to happen, council has to pull the trigger,” DVBA general manager Ken Kelly responded. “They can initiate a formal process where property owners can say ‘we’re in’ or ‘we’re out.’ We’re great partners with the city, and the city sees the value in that, but some councilors have chosen another route.” Isitt admitted that it made sense to have an organization to help downtown Victoria remain the commercial centre of Vancouver Island, though he was critical of the DVBA’s lack of “progressive outlook” and “compassion to the city’s vulnerable residents,” namely the homeless. “DVBA members are some of the

most politically influential people in the community,” Isitt said. “They have connections to the federal and provincial parties that council doesn’t have. (The DVBA) has indicated that they’re advocates for housing and harm reduction, but what we’re seeing them implement most is bylaw enforcement—putting up trespassing and busking bylaw signs.” Kelly disagreed, and said the DVBA had shown its commitment to the issue through its involvement in the city’s homelessness task force. “We’re a small little organization, we’re doing the most to make a difference in downtown and at a very good cost to our members,” he said.

Everyday Patty Shaw and Melissa Del-Sol are thankful for the co-op housing (rent) supplement they received when their lives were in turmoil. Now they worry for their low-income neighbours who could lose their homes at their Victoria co-ops. Like others across the country, many Greater Victoria co-ops are facing a funding crunch. Lowand fixed income residents will no longer receive supplements when operating mortgage agreements between co-ops and the federal government end. “The most vulnerable will be affected, and could be forced into homelessness,” said Shaw, who has lived at Kailasa Housing Co-op in Saanich for more 22 years. Shaw said most of the residents affected in her building include seniors, people with disabilities and single moms with young children. The federal government provides capital and operating assistance to co-ops through programs created between 1973 and 1991. Through the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, it entered into subsidy agreements that are tied to the term of a co-op’s mortgage. The Co-operative Housing Federation of B.C. said there are 34 federally-funded co-ops representing nearly 1,200 households in the Greater Victoria area. About 400 of those households receive rental assistance. Rent support for those low-income co-op members will vanish when the operating agreements with Ottawa ends. CHFBC has launched a campaign – You Hold the Key: Fix the Co-op Housing Crunch – to convince the provincial government to fund and administer a rent supplement program for low-

the subsidy. Shaw had a similar experience at Kailasa. She was living from paycheque to paycheque, often using a credit card to fill in the gaps, in order to support herself and two children. Once she got into co-op subsidized housing she was able to make ends meet, returned to school and received a university degree. “Without the assistance of the subsidy, I don’t know where I would be today. I can’t imagine my circumstances. It was pretty dire.” The federal government said it won’t continue the subsidy program, and both women fear that if the province doesn’t come up with a program, some people could end up homeless. “It’s just frightening to think of what will happen,” Shaw said Del-Sol said a co-op subsidy program is cheaper to operate than more traditional government housing programs because the program is operated by the co-op housing society. “We do all the management,” she said. “It’s not low-income housing.” Deputy premier Rich Colmen, who is responsible for housing, was unavailable for comment. klaird@blackpress.ca

The Capital Regional District’s proposal to expand the controversial Clean Air Bylaw is one step away from becoming law. Director voted 12-6 last Wednesday to ban smoking in parks, playgrounds, public squares, bus stops and within seven metres from doorways and air intakes, up from the current three metres. Now the region is seeking more public comment on the bylaw with a public information session with CRD and Island Health staff July 23 from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the CRD board office, 625 Fisgard St. To speak at the meeting, please register in advance via email at: cleanair@crd. bc.ca. You can also share feedback online at crd. bc.ca/cleanair by July, 25. For more information on the new Clean Air Bylaw please go online to: crd.bc.ca/cleanair. The Clean Air Bylaw was implemented on Jan. 1, 1999 and made all indoor public spaces smoke-free. On July 1, 2007, the bylaw was amended and all businesses were required to make patios smoke-free where food and beverages are served or consumed.

What is co-op housing? Any group of people can form a housing co-operative. The people who live in the housing are the co-op’s members. They elect, from among themselves, a board of directors to manage the business of the co-op. Each member has one vote. Members work together to keep their housing well-managed and affordable. Co-op member, have security of tenure. This means that they can live in their home for as long as they wish if they follow the rules of the co-op and pay the housing charge (rent). – Co-operative Housing Federation of B.C.

“Having the opportunity to be a part of the Ceremonial Guard makes me proud that I can reinforce this great tradition.” – Aleksandra Tremblay

Wearing a scarlet tunic and bearskin headdress, Aleksandra Tremblay is part of one of the most recognizable military units in Canada this summer: the Ceremonial Guard of the Canadian Armed Forces. The Ceremonial Guard provides sentries at the National War Memorial in Ottawa and at Rideau Hall, the official residence of the Governor General. In addition, the unit also perform the Changing of the Guard on Parliament Hill. “Having the opportunity to be a part of the Ceremonial Guard makes me proud that I can reinforce this great tradition,” Tremblay, 21, an army reservist with the 5th Field Regiment in Victoria, says. “As a soldier it gives me the opportunity to have a great summer experience with great friends.” Tremblay underwent three weeks of intensive drill training this spring where she mastered the precision movements, attained a high standard of dress and deportment and also underwent extensive physical fitness training.

OUR VIEW

A step against homelessness With the clock ticking for their low-income neighbours, Greater Victoria housing co-op members are sounding alarm bells. There are 34 federally-funded co-ops representing nearly 1,200 households in the region. About 400 of those households receive housing assistance. The assistance support for these low-income members will vanish when the operating agreements with the federal government end by The province 2021. at the greatest should move riskThose include seniors, the disabled, new Canadians to protect and single parents. housing Ottawa has said straight out that it won’t co-ops continue the program, members so that leaves the province. As we’ve said before on these pages, government shouldn’t be relied upon constantly to save programs and institutions. This situation is a little different, however. Housing co-op members have security of tenure. This means that they can live in their home for as long as they wish if they follow the rules of the co-op and pay the housing charge (rent). The low-income members have been put between a rock and a hard place. The federal government has shifted the responsibility of such housing to the province, but so far B.C. has been quiet on how it wants to handle it. Curious. The provincial government will lose ground in its fight against homelessness by forcing people out of their homes, unless it protects lowincome co-op members. B.C. should step forward with some sort of subsidy to keep co-op members at home. After all, it’s a safe venture for the province. Co-op members tend to stay in their residences for years. And, unlike other housing subsidy programs, it would be cheaper to operate because the program would be operated and managed by the co-op housing society.

YOUR VIEW

Slow down and enjoy life With the B.C. government increasing speed limits on a number of the province’s highways, I can’t help but think what a terribly sad commentary it is on our society that so many people seem to feel a need to rocket along our roads at breakneck speeds just to save a few minutes. Every night here in the BurnsideGorge area, one can see kamikazelike drivers racing along Burnside and Gorge roads, showing little, if any, concern for speed limits or traffic signals. Not surprisingly, this has resulted in a lot of accidents, including fatal ones, over the years. I wish motorists would heed the wise message from one of my neighbours who has handpainted on a utility pole at the corner of Orilla Street and Obed Avenue a wonderful quotation from Mahatma Gandhi: “There is more to life than increasing its speed.” Gordon Pollard Victoria

Smoking hurts others directly Re: A banishment of smoking (News, July 9) In response to the article about the CRD wanting to ban smoking in public places, it’s interesting some people feel, this is impinging on people’s rights if it is a “legal” substance. My reaction would be drinking is legal, but only in specific areas and one person

drinking does not directly impact the health of an individual sitting next to me. Being naked is legal, but not in public. Smoking hurts others directly. It shouldn’t be allowed in any public place. And, if we really wanted to stop youth from access to cigarettes, we wouldn’t be selling them at grocery stores but in liquor stores. Kathie Wagner Victoria

Reader prefers smell of smoke over car fumes Re: A banishment of smoking (News, July 9) I am a smoker. Try walking in downtown Victoria on a warm day. I would rather smoke then smell those car fumes. So tell all those dear people to leave their smelly cars at home, they’re going to destroy Mother Earth soon enough. If they want to stay home, lock all doors and windows and never leave the place. And don’t forget to shut off the water, hydro, also the phone and have a great life. Maurice Walsh Victoria

Province lets drivers set speed limits Tom Fletcher B.C. Views

“Fast is the new slow,” declared one Toronto newspaper’s front page when the B.C. government announced it is increasing speed limits around the province. The headline picked up on Transportation Minister Todd Stone’s justification for raising limits on 35 stretches of rural B.C. highway. Stone referred to traffic studies that show portions of the highway system where the vast majority of drivers already travel at the new speeds. Stone emphasized that accident risk is not so much a function of speed, but

of differences in speed between vehicles. That’s why the signs going up this summer will include a new warning for left lane hogs: “Keep Right – Let Others Pass.” For the first time, there is a 120 km/h limit on three segments of rural divided highway, parts of the Coquihalla, the Okanagan Connector and a stretch between Parksville and Campbell River on Vancouver Island. Having regularly driven up and down the B.C. Interior highway system for the past 30 years, I can confirm that particularly once you get “beyond Hope,” drivers do set the speed limit. In good conditions, it’s generally about 10 km over the posted maximum, particularly in the long spaces between communities where resources to do regular speed enforcement simply don’t exist.

Improvements in the road system, and the modern vehicles that drive it, have been enormous. My last trip was in June, up the Fraser Canyon and on through the Cariboo to Prince George. The canyon offers some of the harshest roadbuilding conditions in Canada, but even portions of that cliffhanging, rock-andtunnel road are getting increases from 90 to 100 km/h. There are two common assumptions about this move. One is that increasing the speed limit means people will automatically drive faster. The other is that higher speeds mean more accidents, or at least more severe accidents. The government downplayed opposition to this change, which Stone signalled last fall when he launched the public consultation. Police agencies don’t

like it. ICBC officials are skeptical to say the least. ICBC’s latest rate increase was attributed mostly to cost pressure from higher injury payouts, and it will be tracking the sections of higher speed limit to see if the number of severe accidents goes up. Speed wasn’t singled out when interim ICBC boss Mark Blucher made the case for an increase of nearly 5% on basic 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% 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 or 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.

HarbourCats, fans top world record Kevin Laird News staff

The Victoria HarbourCats made baseball history Thursday. The club and its fans threw 5,253 pitches in a day-long event to set the world record for the most ceremonial first pitches thrown prior to a game by a minor-league baseball club. HarbourCats general manager Jim Swanson called the accomplishment “magical.” “Thank you, Victoria! Thank you to our fans, supporters, and to Peninsula Co-op for sponsoring this event,” he said. The event started at 8:30 a.m. and went right to gametime, as fans streamed through Royal Athletic Park all day long to break the previous record of 4,218 held by the Brevard County Manatees. The final two pitches of the new record were thrown by Cooper, the mascot for event sponsor Peninsula Co-op, and by former Major League pitcher Jason Grimsley, the father of John Grimsley, an outfielder with the HarbourCats. Jason Grimsley won two World Series titles with the New York Yankees. The HarbourCats open a home stand against the Klamath Falls Gems tomorrow (July 17). Game time is 7:11 p.m. editor@vicnews.com

Accordionist Jelena Milojevic may have won international competitions, toured the world and recorded three albums, but nowadays her focus is on tomorrow’s squeezebox stars, who she hopes can put Victoria on the world stage. Raised in Croatia, Milojevic began playing accordion at nine while enrolled in Ivan Matetic-Ronjgov Music School, after she was told that she was too old to start learning piano. In 2003, she took home one of the craft’s most prestigious awards, the CMA World Trophy. Now settled in Victoria, the 32-year-old spends her time between teaching Camosun College’s twoyear accordion program and guiding a handful of younger students. “There’s a strong history of accordion in Croatia, in Europe, that Canada doesn’t have,” Milojevic said. “I’m relying on these kids to make the art strong in Canada.” This year, Milojevic is joining her husband Aleksander as artistic director of the Victoria International Accordion Festival, which he founded in 2007. Milojevic will be holding a workshop alongside Tian Jianan, a young Chinese player who took home the Coupe Mondiale last year, when the international accordion competition was hosted in Victoria. Milojevic’s younger students will also be playing as the Victoria Accordion Kids Band. Jianan and Russian-American player Stas VengPhoto contributed levski will be headlining the festival, which runs Jelena Milojevic, 32, was appointed artistic from July 18-20. Tickets are $25 to $30 and available director of the Victoria International Accordion by phone at 250-384-2111.

Soloist, 9, set to make a Splash Erik Lin youngest soloist in Symphony Splash history Drew McLachlan News staff

Drew McLachlan/News staff

Erik Lin, 9, was chosen as the soloist for this year’s Symphony Splash on Aug. 3.

Local pianist Erik Lin may have only been playing for four years, but on Aug. 3 he’ll have the opportunity to show his skills to a crowd of more than 45,000 at the Inner Harbour for Symphony Splash. At nine years old, Lin will be the youngest soloist to ever grace

the floating stage when he performs Haydn’s Piano Concerto in C. Despite his young age, Lin has already made a splash in Victoria’s classical music scene. He made his solo debut in 2010, at the age of five, performing at the Union Club’s Enchanted Keys for a Summer’s Eve concert. Since then, he’s performed for the Victoria Conservatory of Music,

the David Foster Foundation, the Fairmont Empress Hotel, and recently received a runner-up award at the B.C. Performing Arts Festival. Music director and maestro Tania Miller introduced the young virtuoso to the public at the Marriot Inner Harbour Hotel, where he played a piece by Chopin. “I love piano because you can play freely, there’s no limit to what you can do – other than your hands,” Lin

So you think

said. Classical music fans will have reason to celebrate as Symphony Splash adds a few flourishes for their 25th anniversary. The Vox Humana Chamber Choir will accompany the orchestra for a performance of Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, marking the first time that vocals have been incorporated into the event. A suite of compositions from video games will also be performed to appeal to the younger crowd. “As an outdoor experience, Symphony Splash really lends itself to a variety of attendees,” Miller said. “The music reflects that – they’re pieces that resonate with all audiences. The video game music was chosen to appeal with the younger audience, just like (Tchaikovsky’s) Swan Lake appeals with older listeners.” Miller said that the music was also specifically chosen to set a tone for the landmark anniversary. The first half will invoke a “street party” atmosphere, while the second half will be an “epic swell of emotion, pride and nostalgia” building to the familiar finale of Tchaikovsky’s 1812 Overture, which has

concluded Symphony Splash every year. The silver anniversary of Symphony Splash also coincides with the centennial of the First World War, and the Canadian Scottish Regiment Pipe and Drum Band will be performing The Unknown Warrior, an original piece commemorating veterans. Other groups performing include tribute band The Timebenders and the Naden Band of the Royal Canadian Navy. The Empress Hotel will also host a family zone on their lawn, which will include an “instrument petting zoo” where young guests can try playing various instruments. reporter@vicnews.com

Make a date Symphony Splash will take place at the Inner Harbour on Aug. 3 at 7:30 p.m. A family zone will be open from 1 to 4 p.m. on the Empress Hotel lawn, and will feature an instrument petting zoo, face painting and other activities. Tribute band The Timebenders will open the performance at 4 p.m. on Belleville Street, where street dancing will also be held.

Langham Theatre is looking to the past to celebrate its 85th anniversary, with a reproduction of Boeing Boeing, which first landed in Victoria in 1978. Also returning is director Toshik Bukowiecki, who said that despite the play since becoming a classic, his approach remains the same. “It’s a farce, so you play to certain elements,” Bukowiecki said. “It has to be fast-paced, physical, and have an element of sex appeal – its all part of the genre.” This time around, Bukowiecki will be using the more recent American translation, as opposed to the original British one. Jeff Olyarnyk will be playing Bernard, a bachelor living in 1960s Paris and engaged to three beautiful flight attendants each unaware of the others. The play opens when Bernard’s friend Robert, played by Perry Burton, pays him a visit while all three of Bernard’s fiancées happen to be in town. Boeing Boeing will show at Langham Court Theatre at 805 Langham Court. It runs from July 23 to 26, 30 and 31 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $21 and available by phone at 250-3842142. reporter@vicnews.com

Don Descoteau/News staff

With staffers behind him, Quality Foods director of operations, Ken Schley, speaks at the grand opening of the company’s latest store, at 977 Langford Pky. near City Centre Park in Langford. The operation brings between 75 and 100 jobs to the West Shore and is the second high-profile retailer, along with Capital Iron, to move into the plaza vacated by the closure of two furniture stores.

Quality Foods opens in Langford Island based grocery store eyes second store later next year 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. “We’ve long had an eye to Victoria, but the opportunities were few and far between,” said Rob McKay, Quality Foods marketing director. Last week’s opening of its store in Langford marks the company’s first foray into what McKay admits is a highly competitive grocery market. Quality Foods has some momentum going in, he said. “There seems to be a pent-up demand for Victoria. We’ve been getting phone calls and emails and personal comments from people asking us, ‘when are you guys coming down here?” 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. “The jobs that it creates is obviously number one for our community. It’s great that another large employer has decided that Langford is a great place to move,” he said. “We have some of the strongest growth in the region. A lot of our residents need the jobs.” 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. “It’s healthy for our community … and it’ll possibly lower prices for food which

is always a good thing,” 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. “We’re hoping to draw from a greater population area, but our focus, of course, is the West Shore community,” he said. “That’s pretty good in and of itself.” Capital Iron owner Mike Black said at the time of his store’s opening in April that the impending opening of Quality Foods was part of his company’s decision to locate in the former furniture store plaza. Jordan Schley, Ken’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 inhouse 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 cafés to old-style delis.

Piano player tunes up career Drew McLachlan News staff

Stacey Benn, 35, has travelled the world as a pianist. After graduating from Capilano Collegeâ€™s jazz piano program in 2000, she landed a dream job as a piano player and musical director for Crystal Cruises. As she sailed to places like Monaco, Egypt and Japan, she continued to hold on to her secret passion â€“ piano tuning â€“ spending time between performances under the lid. Now Bennâ€™s glad to say her passion is no longer a secret. After earning her piano technology degree at the University of Western Ontario, she returned to Victoria in 2011 to work full-time as one of Victoriaâ€™s first female piano technicians. Though she tunes pianos for the Victoria Conservatory of Music, most

of her days are spent in the homes of players. â€œYou never know what to expect, every piano is a little different,â€? says Benn. â€œItâ€™s like being a detective â€“ making your way around, organizing all the parts in your mind â€“ itâ€™s also kind of like juggling.â€? Having recently found a workshop space, Benn is undertaking a few personal projects, including upgrading her grandmotherâ€™s piano. She still finds time to play as well, mostly at bars and hotels, including the Fairmont Empress where she manages to fit performances during their afternoon tea into her weekly schedule. â€œWhat they say about the cobblerâ€™s kids never having nice shoes, itâ€™s the same for the piano tuner â€“ mine is never in tune,â€? jokes Benn. For tuning, you can reach Stacey Benn at 250-580-TUNE.
