Question of giving T o give or not to give? It’s a question without a right answer but one each person must solve for themselves to satisfy both their conscience and comfort level. Giving money, however, isn’t the only option. A respectful acknowledgement is gratefully received. Experts working with Victoria’s poor weigh in.

Caretaker Geoffrey Perkins stands beside one of the five headstones vandalized with swastikas in the Emanu-El Jewish Cemetery on Cedar Hill Road. A removal agent has been applied to the stone, to help take off the paint without damaging the stone underneath. Perkins has been the cemetery’s caretaker since 2000.
Island Jewish community reeling after five gravestones desecrated Erin McCracken News staff
Wounded, hurt, angry. Those feelings channeled through Rabbi Harry Brechner after learning that five historic gravestones in Emanu-El Jewish Cemetery in Victoria – all belonging to Holocaust survivors – had been desecrated. Victoria police say the large stones were spray-painted with black swastikas and other images sometime between 8 p.m. on Dec. 30 and the early morning hours of Dec. 31. “I think I felt, on a certain level, violation, a bit wounded and from there it kind of moved to anger … I think it’s perfectly natural to be angered when you’ve been hurt,” said Brechner, who has been a rabbi with Congregation Emanu-El, a Jewish synagogue in Victoria, for more than 10 years. “Aside from maybe the Confederate flag or the hood of a Ku Klux Klansman, (the swastika) is a symbol of hatred directed towards us as Jews, and that’s hard,” Brech-

ner said. The case is being investigated by police as a hate crime, which potentially could result in hate crime charges in addition to charges of mischief, said Const. Mike Russell, Victoria police spokesperson. It’s not the first time a hate crime against the Jewish community has happened in Victoria. A city park near the Chabad Synagogue at Quadra and Finlayson streets was tagged with spray-painted swastikas two years ago, Brechner said. But the cemetery vandalism is especially shocking to the Jewish community. There are between 2,000 and 4,000 Jews living on Vancouver Island, most of them in the Capital Region, the Victoria resident said. “I think the cemetery is sacred ground,” Brechner said. “To enter a cemetery and desecrate graves is different than spraying graffiti on a playground. It’s got a different impact.” To help heal the pain, the public is invited to attend a vigil on Sunday (Jan. 8) at 1 p.m.
at the cemetery, located at Cedar Hill and Fernwood roads, off Hillside Avenue. In the meantime, Brechner plans to speak on the anti-Semitic act at his synagogue’s Saturday service. His message, especially to children, will be: “We’re safe, we’re strong.” The Jewish community has been shown tremendous support during this difficult time, Brechner said, adding that many people have offered to help clean up the desecrated gravestones in the burial ground that was consecrated in 1860. “We’re not experiencing this alone,” Brechner said. A Victoria police detective is leading the investigation, and plans to liaise with B.C.’s Hate Crime Team of RCMP and Vancouver police officers – the only provincial hate crime policing team in Canada, said Russell. Police are hoping a tipster will shed light on this case. Anyone with information is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. emccracken@vicnews.com
Property owners in Victoria and Esquimalt are now finding out that the value of their residences and businesses, on average, may have moderately changed. In B.C. Assessment’s 2012 assessment roll of more than 144,000 properties in the Capital Region, single-family residences in Victoria, on average, were assessed at $576,000, up from $566,000 in the 2011 roll. The roll was publicly released Tuesday. Similar dwellings in Esquimalt were assessed an average of $501,000 in the 2012 roll, down from 504,000 in 2011. The region’s residential property owners will see their values between two per cent below and five per cent above average, said Reuben Danakody, area assessor for B.C. Assessment’s Saanich-based office. “Different neighbourhoods will do different things for a myriad of reasons,” he said. “It could be for market demand in a particular area, or maybe just a market correction. That’s the typical market movement in this community.” Meanwhile, owners of commercial, industrial and multi-family properties, such as residential condominiums in Victoria, like the rest of the region, will see their property values climb between five and 15 per cent. “If you look at vacant commercial land in Victoria and Saanich, it’s very, very thin,” Danakody said. “So that’s creating an upward pressure on prices, and investors are looking to buy property in Victoria.” Overall, the roll of properties assessed at market value as of July 1, 2011 increased to $92.9 billion from $91.6 billion last year in the region, which extends to Sooke, half way up the Malahat Drive of the Trans-Canada Highway, out to Sidney and the Gulf Islands. Almost $970 million of this growth was due to new construction, renovations, new subdivisions and rezoning, much of it in Langford, said Danakody. “We’re able to look at values that are basically holding, if not growing marginally in Greater Victoria, and that’s very good news because there’s a lot of heavy investment in real estate - not just in this region but certainly across the country,” Danakody said. “I would say this is a very good sign of a stable market when you consider the global economic situation right now, (and) when you consider what’s going on not too far from us across the border with their real estate market.” emccracken@vicnews.com

New Year’s celebrants keep VicPD busy Police officers answer 140 calls in 12-hour period Erin McCracken News staff
Victoria police were swamped with more calls for service this New Year’s over last year. The department’s 911 communications team handled 140 calls for service in 12 hours on New Year’s Eve and into New Year’s Day, compared to 114 calls that came in over New Year’s in 2011. Typically, the department fields 150 calls in a 24-hour period, said Const. Mike Russell, VicPD spokesperson. During last weekend’s celebrations, police made 21 arrests, down from 25 arrests in the same timeframe in 2011, Russell said, adding that

most incidents were alcohol related. “Most of it was downtown, but the house parties are always resource-intensive,” he said. “You get four officers show up to a house party with 150 people, you’ve got to call a couple of other cops to come by.” Timing had everything to do with the large call load. “The combination of New Year’s Eve falling on a Saturday, along with all the extra officers who were out patrolling the streets proactively led to this high call volume,” Russell said. “New Year’s Eve is typically one of the busiest days of the year, behind Canada Day and Halloween.” New Year’s violence in the 2700-block of Cook St. landed one teen in jail and another man in hospital with serious injuries to his torso.

assault in connection with the altercation that happened around 12:30 a.m. on Jan. 1. He was scheduled to appear in Victoria youth court on Tuesday. “Officers quickly arrived to find the suspect being held down by witnesses, some of whom had also sustained injuries while capturing this man,” Russell said. The first call of the new year led to the arrest of a 35-year-old Esquimalt man for impaired driving. Police pulled over his 2007 Dodge Caravan at Esquimalt Road and Lampson Street at 12:04 a.m. Police say his blood-alcohol level was double the legal limit. The public is also being credited for helping officers take a second impaired driver off the street later that night. emccracken@vicnews.com

Fiddler’s attacker surrenders Shane Daily, a 23-year-old Langford man wanted for assaulting busker Darth Fiddler, surrendered to Victoria police on Dec. 28. Police issued an arrest warrant for Daily on Dec. 19 for charges of assault and mischief. He walked into the Victoria courthouse nine days later and turned himself in. His next court appearance is Jan. 11 in Victoria. Daily is accused of tackling Randy McKenna, a violinist who dons a Darth Vader outfit, hence Darth Fiddler, on June 11 at 7 p.m. near Government and Wharf streets. Police say the attack was without provocation.

Oak Bay pushes for dialogue on regional policing issues Erin McCracken News staff
The mayor of Oak Bay is inviting the region’s mayors over for an “open and frank discussion” on policing in the region. The single-issue meeting, to be held early in the new year, may allow leaders to identify “a better way” to deliver policing to the region’s municipalities more efficiently and cost-effectively, said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. The mayors could look at the pros and cons of a regional police service, something Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Victoria police Chief Const. Jamie Graham have been advocating. Consolidation of policing services will likely also be a topic of interest at the meeting, Jensen said. “We certainly want to hold out that the Oak Bay-Saanich model is one that could work regionally,” he said, noting that Oak Bay council recently extended its contract with Saanich to use some of that municipality’s policing services. The meeting is about exploring options, Jensen said. “I’m sure there’s other innovative ways to deliver policing services, and that’s one of the reasons I want to start the dialogue with the other mayors,” he said. “I certainly heard during the (November municipal election) campaign that, even in Oak Bay, people want to ensure that they have the proper and efficient policing services for the whole region,” said Jensen. Leaders have a responsibility to listen to the plethora of letters to the editor and editorials written on the issue, he said. The mayoral talk is especially timely given the contentious relationship between Victoria and Esquimalt representatives on the Victoria Police Board. Esquimalt and Victoria’s police services were amalgamated in 2003. Esquimalt announced in October its preference is to be policed by the RCMP rather than the Vic-

toria Police Department. The township has submitted paperwork asking B.C.’s Solicitor General Shirley Bond for permission to make the switch. The Ministry of Public Safety is expecting the results of an independent review of the troubled amalgamation by the end of the month. In that context, “I think (policing is) going to be a tough issue to sort out, there’s no question about that,” Jensen said. “But until we sit down and start talking about it we’re not going to know what the way forward is.” At the upcoming meeting, the mayors will likely examine several policing models, “... one of them being the Esquimalt model where there’s an amalgamated force (with Victoria), and we’ve seen the fallout from that,” said Jensen. “On the other hand we have the Oak Bay-Saanich model that seems to be working very well.” Other models include RCMP operations in Langford, Colwood, View Royal, Metchosin, Highlands and Sooke, as well as North Saanich and Sidney. Victoria, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, Saanich and Central Saanich have municipal police services. A date for the mayoral meeting on policing has not been fixed. emccracken@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW
Owning a home still sensible A lot of numbers get trotted out every year at this time as the assessment authority releases its annual evaluation of the price of property around the province. We’re given an astronomical dollar amount representing the total worth of so many theoretical “average” properties. Of course, for most of us, any number in the billions is as mystifying as the difference between the amount of stars in the sky and the number of grains of sand at the beach. Perhaps the best thing we can take away from B.C. Assessment’s latest statistics is that Greater Victoria is a solid place to invest in for individuals, families and people looking to do business here. Buying a home, for the vast majority of people, should be first and foremost about having a place to live. It is the single biggest expenditure most of us will ever make, especially true for those of us living in B.C.’s southwest. And while housing prices here are exceptionally high, there is some comfort in knowing our region has a few exceptional factors in its favour. Greater Victoria does have a stronger economy, with major employers such as the province and the navy and we have a long and proven history as a place where people want to live. Over the last few decades, property values here have risen dramatically, dipped slightly and stayed relatively flat for extended periods of time. The latest figures from B.C. Assessment seem to confirm that home ownership in Greater Victoria is a relatively stable place to put your money. That said, there are warning signs emerging that real estate across the country is showing signs of a classic bubble, according to a December report by economists with the Bank of America Merrill Lynch. It should concern anyone thinking they can continue to reap huge profits by flipping properties. However, for the majority of us who are not land speculators, the long-term ownership of a home in Greater Victoria continues to be a sound investment.
Cops should follow Canada Day protocol Much has been said about the unfair burden placed on the City of Victoria’s police force by alcohol-fueled out-of-towners spilling out of the city’s myriad nightclubs. On New Year’s Eve, VicPD arrested 21 people, many for booze related offences in the downtown core. Police couldn’t say where these 21 people call home. If it turns out they’re from outside the city, perhaps it’s time for suburban police departments such as Saanich and the West Shore RCMP to extend a protocol that’s already in place on Canada Day – the busiest shift of the year for Victoria police. Officers are seconded from neighbouring departments to help with the sudden population boon and its accompanying rise in crime. It makes sense to extend this agreement on days when events – specifically Halloween or New Year’s Eve falling on a weekend – predicate a chaotic night for downtown cops. What do you think?

Readers respond: Feeding birds helps destroy natural habitat Marika Lalond (Grinches stole Christmas from bird population, Letters, Dec. 30) describes herself as an avid bird watcher and claims that the songbirds could use a little help every winter. According to her that means unilaterally sticking up various feeders on public land. If she was really interested in the birds, she would appreciate them as they normally live, without the interference caused by artificial feeding. In fact, she is actually making the problem of habitat destruction worse. Those seeds and suet don’t come from some makebelieve, over-the-rainbow land. Real habitat is ruined to produce, distribute and market those commodities for the entertainment of people with Disneyland-type attitudes. On top of that, the business of sticking out seeds, suet and sugar water to attract certain species

Arguments between the so-called political left and right are often summarized as the difference between wanting more or less government. But that misses the point of government. Governments set priorities, many of them based on where they allocate money and resources. Successive governments in Canada have promoted the idea that a strong economy is the most important consideration and that to have prosperity we must put the interests of corporations above those of citizens. This is backwards. While continuing to spend tens of billions of dollars on fighter jets, warships and campaigns to promote itself and the tar sands, Canada’s government is gutting resources from the programs and departments responsible for protecting our environment, as well as weakening policies and laws designed to conserve nature. At the end of 2011, we saw our government trying to cajole other countries to pull out of the Kyoto Protocol during the climate change talks in Durban, South Africa. When no one went along, Canada became the first country to abandon this legally binding international agreement. Of course, our
current government isn’t the only one that has failed to live up to the agreement’s requirements. Kyoto may not have been perfect, but in abandoning it rather than working to strengthen it, Canada’s leadership failed to acknowledge that dealing with climate change is essential to protecting its citizens, and those of the world. We can only take this administration’s word that it will come up with a realistic plan to cut emissions and fight climate change, but the record of successive governments so far doesn’t inspire much confidence. Let’s get beyond this false dichotomy of economy versus environment. If we look at economy as a way to provide for the health and well-being of citizens, then it’s there to serve the environment, of which we are a part, and not the other way around. Environmental protection shouldn’t be seen as a barrier to opportunity; it should be seen as an essential part of a healthy economy. It’s up to all of us to ensure that the governments we elect to look after our interests protect nature because we depend on it for our very lives. That’s what they’re for. With Jeffery Young.
Deer cull, no compassion, bird feeders
to serve as decoration, in reality disrupts the habitat wherever it is perpetrated. Hence, (nonmigratory) Anna’s humming birds can aggressively occupy places they never would have otherwise. Similarly, house sparrows are in a much better position to domineer nest sites – to the disadvantage of others – particularly those that are migratory. So if you want to enjoy birds, take every coin you have been spending on suet, seed and similar stuff and put it somewhere that it will do a little good – like habitat preservation. The birds will be better off as a result. K. Gibbens Victoria
question of compassion, Letters Dec. 30)was disheartening but not at all surprising. Some poor fellow fell while crossing Johnson Street trying to get to his car. His injuries (a broken kneecap requiring major surgery) were not enough to make the parking meter reader forgo writing up a $60 ticket. Thank goodness I don’t drive, so parking is never an issue for me. But I am a dog owner and am quite familiar with the complete lack of reason and compassion that these bylaw officers have.

Too much authority can corrupt some people
Boltgun killing of deer is not a kind death
The first thing I read this Jan. 1 (Parking mishap leads to
Recent news articles mention the Cranbrook deer
cull, which is modelled after the Helena, Mont. ongoing slaughter of their urban deer. To set the record straight, clovertrap/boltgun killing of deer is not euthanasia – a kind death. No one who has ever loved an animal would consider this a kind death. This is the cruel act of baiting and trapping an innocent wild creature, caged throughout the night, cold and terrified – in the predawn hours approached by humans, restrained by collapsed netting and the weight of its killers, thrashing and crying in terror as a four-inch steel spike is driven into its brain. This brutality is denounced by respected wildlife scientists, veterinarians and the Humane Society of the United States. See www.netandboltcruelty.net. Jack Schrier, former fish and game council member in New Jersey has stated, “Net and bolt is barbaric. It works in slaughterhouses only because the animals are limited to a
single-file lane, restrained and unable to wriggle or struggle. In the field it is impossible – impossible – to have the poor creatures hold still long enough for the bolt to be accurately used. There are too many cases of misses and try-try again. Humane it is not. Certain it is not. Swift it is not. Horrible it certainly is.” The cull being considered by the CRD cannot be justified. Reasons being reported are based on poor science, falsehoods and exaggerations. There are effective non-lethal solutions for every deer ‘problem’ in our city. At a time of fiscal restraint and with few Victorians calling for a cull, it is time for caring and concerned residents who have a heart for our wildlife to let the CRD and cooperating municipalities know that slaughter of our urban deer is senseless and unjustifiable.

Blue Boat cancellation rumours spark commute concerns No decision has been made on future of service: Navy Erin McCracken News staff
The fate of CFB Esquimalt’s Blue Boat service, which has been shuttling military and civilian defence employees between Colwood and Esquimalt military properties for years, has not been decided. But there are concerns amidst rumours that the base’s oldest operating vessels, which are more than 50 years old, might not be repaired and returned to Esquimalt harbour in the event they need servicing. That prompted View Royal’s council to write to Josée Touchette, an Ottawa-based assistant deputy minister in the Department of National Defence, in November urging the department “to maintain a reliable level of blue boat service in the Esquimalt harbour, and ... that a timely replacement plan for the aging fleet is implemented to ensure the long-term viability of this regional service.” Spearheaded by View Royal Coun. John Rogers, but sent under a council banner, the letter was meant to show support for a service “that makes a difference to those who are enabled by it,” said View Royal Mayor Graham Hill. “It may indeed be something that is a privilege rather than a (right).” The letter was carbon-copied to CFB Esquimalt’s commander navy Capt. Craig Baines, the Capital Regional District board, the Township of Esquimalt and the City of Colwood. “Currently no official decision has been made regarding the future of the Blue Boat service and its longer-term maintenance,” navy Lt. Michael McWhinnie, base public affairs officer, said in a statement.
The primary role of the base’s two Blue Boats is not to ferry commuting personnel. The vessels act as a “shuttle facilitating the internal movement of personnel between various defence properties adjacent to Esquimalt harbour,” McWhinnie said. Without it, hundreds of personnel living on the West Shore would be forced back on the gridlocked Trans- Dan Spinner Canada and Island highways, an idea that has some people concerned. The Blue Boat service is critical to keeping more people off the roads, said Dan Spinner, CEO of the WestShore Chamber of Commerce. “And we hope that the base maintains it. It’s an important contribution to the local and regional transportation system.” The vessels make 13 runs a day, Monday to Friday from 6 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., attracting a total daily ridership of about 800 passengers. Upwards of 9,000 passengers used the service in one month in 2011. If one boat is out of service for repairs, another vessel from the base’s auxiliary fleet will be used to make the ferry runs, depending on demand, said Sara Helmeczi, base public affairs officer. An estimated 46 per cent of personnel are affected by the “Colwood crawl,” according to base data. There are more than 480 housing units at Colwood’s Belmont Park, the largest military housing community on the South Island. More traffic on clogged transportation corridors doesn’t bode well for B.C Transit

Carrying a boatload of commuters, CFB Esquimalt’s Blue Boat ferry stops at the Naden side of the base to pick up more passengers before making its way across Esquimalt Harbour to Colwood. buses already struggling to keep to their schedules. “Because of the increased congestion and construction we’ve seen across the Capital Region, our buses have slowed down from 25 to 20 kilometres an hour,” Joanna Linsangan, B.C. Transit’s manager of public relations, said in a statement. Given Ottawa’s history of making decisions about the base without feedback on issues that affect local communities, “there’s always a concern with the Blue
Boat disappearing,” Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins said, adding this could happen if the government sees the service as an add-on and not valued for its contribution to the region or to hundreds of military and civilian defence commuters. She planned to discuss the issue with CFB Esquimalt’s commander. CFB Esquimalt could not provide the annual costs to operate the Blue Boat service before the News’ deadline. emccracken@vicnews.com
Mid-block pathway revival a no-brainer Roszan Holmen News staff
It’s just a matter of when, not if, for the re-opening of the Chandler-Gonzales pathway in Fairfield. Despite opposition from at least one neighbour to the proposed path, city council agreed the publicly-owned pathway should be open to the public. Coun. Geoff Young said he becomes indignant at the misuse of public land. “There is no more profound misuse than simply closing it off and not allowing the public to go on it,” he said. “I am happy to consult with the neighbours but not about whether or not this should be opened but about questions of barriers and landscaping, perhaps lighting and things like that.” In 1976, the city closed the pathway due to nuisances and safety concerns on the 250-metre path. Since then, many adjacent property owners have co-opted the land with fencing and vegetation.

n any other writing class, the poem (inset) would be a simple, straightforward assignment. But at St. Michaels University School, it’s just the starting point. A group of English students taught by Susan Stenson and an art class led by fellow teacher Jennifer McIntyre have teamed up for a unique project that has student artists creating original works based on the poetry of their peers. “I wanted to do something where we pulled art and writing together,” said McIntyre. “And I thought we should be trying to get our students into a commercial gallery as well, so that they have the experience and they have the opportunity.” That’s where Eclectic Gallery comes in. McIntyre, who has shown her own work at the Oak Bay gallery, approached the owners with an idea for a unique exhibit titled Visual Poetry, featuring her class’ work along with the poetry that inspired it. All the student art will be available for sale, with all proceeds going to a pair of charities: War Child Canada and AMMA International. All of the art works are reduc-

The style is used to create multiple copies of the same piece, which in this case allows the students to potentially sell some of their work while retaining a copy for themselves. For this project, McIntyre said, each student produced between three and six copies. But for this assignment, each print needed a piece of poetic inspiration. Stenson’s class wrote poems themselves – based on existing art hanging in the classroom – and each art student chose a piece that spoke to them. Stop, by Harrison Kim, imme-
diately stood out for Alex Davies. Its British imagery called to mind memories of Davies’ childhood. “When he mentioned a bus, I kind of saw a London bus and that kind of scene in downtown London,” said Davies, who is originally from England. The final work, simply titled Time, surprised him. “It actually turned out a lot better than I thought it would,” Davies said, though he joked that Kim, a friend of his, will “probably say it has nothing to do with the poem.” For McIntyre, the best part about the project is the chance students will have to get their work in front of the public. “Some of them are putting together portfolios for art school, and for post-secondary, and it means that on their CVs or resumes or applications that they’ve got an exhibition history,” she said. “I think it’s exciting for them to get their work off campus and out into the public eye.” Visual Poetry runs from Jan. 9 to 14 at Eclectic Gallery, 2170 Oak Bay Ave. An opening reception will held from 5 to 7 p.m. on Jan. 9. The gallery is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. llavin@vicnews.com

ven in the depths of fall and winter, art enthusiasts, theatre fans and tourists converge on Chemainus to stroll around the “Little Town that Could.” Located just one hour north of Victoria and a short distance from Nanaimo, Chemainus is a perfectly situated southIsland community. A small seaside town of only 4,500 residents, Chemainus has the heart of hundreds of thousands more. Whether because of the Chemainus Theatre or the 41 murals, the town bustles yearround. Chemainus gained fame in the 1980s when, in an attempt to revitalize the town after closure of the lumber mill, large murals portraying the history of Chemainus began lending interest and art to barren walls. Spearheading the project was Karl Schutz, an immigrant who settled in Chemainus in the very
early 1950s, supported by other local business people, and through grants, donations and volunteer efforts the murals began to shape the town and its future. A walking tour with an interpretive guide/actor who will charm you with stories of old Chemainus is an excellent way to see the murals. “Isabel Askew” was the founding lady of old Chemainus. Using the murals as starting points to the narrative, Isabel guides guests along the streets, telling the tales of the town’s founding, her life and her thoughts. While the town boasts many heritage buildings, the one prominent structure with a high dome and distinct Italian flair is the jewel in the Chemainus crown. The Chemainus Theatre, built in 1993 by Ken and Ruth Smith and LaVerne Erickson through the Oswald Smith Foundation, is one of Vancouver Island’s favourite surprises. “There were times when there was only eight people in the audience,” says long-time theatre volunteer Betty Short. But perseverance and a belief in

Cont. from previous page rals, a lovely dinner and evening of theatre evening, finished off with a night in a comfortable hotel makes for a wonderful getaway without having to hop a ferry or drive too far. Continuing its motto, “The Little Town that Could,� Chemainus has introduced another way to promote the town. Chemainus Dollars were unveiled in 2010, bills as little bits of art to be used or stowed away. Robin Courtright, assistant manager for the Credit Union in Chemainus, said they were created as “another way to promote the town. “The dollars are very beautiful,� she says, “and they incorporate the murals.� Backed by Canadian currency, the dollars can be used anywhere in Chemainus. Most, though, are taken away by tourists as souvenirs. With public art and public theatre, paired with interesting shops and numerous recreational opportunities, Chemainus has it all, making this little town a pleasant place to discover for a day or a weekend.
MORE ABOUT MURALS The evolution of the town’s public art is ongoing. Announced in November, the town is undertaking a major art project to pay tribute to the iconic Canadian artist Emily Carr. The sculpture will be 45 feet high and 20 feet wide, surrounded by water, which will appear to be flowing out of the sculpture itself, with a Thunderbird at its highest peak. The towering art piece will be the world’s first MuralSculpture, so called as it combines the two mediums – sculpture and murals – for the first time. In 2008, the Chemainus Festival of Murals adopted the art of Emily Carr as its second Mural Theme. Among Carr’s works was “Chemainus Bay,� painted in 1924 and 1925.

A question of giving Money not the only option to support downtown Victoria’s panhandlers Roszan Holmen News staff
It’s a common dilemma for downtown workers, shoppers and tourists. A request for money, whether made verbally or silently by the presence of a cap, inspires passersby to dig deep, look the other way, or some response in between. According to those in the social-service industry, the correct response is a personal choice. But they make one caveat. “Always be polite,” said Kathy Stinson, executive director of the Cool Aid Society. “Make eye contact, smile … treat them like a human being.” If giving money isn’t your style, one option is to say, “No, I’m giving directly to a charity,” Stinson said. Karyn French, executive director of Pacifica Housing, doesn’t give change. “I’d rather give my money to a busker,” she said. But that doesn’t mean she offers nothing to the panhandlers. “Sometimes I’ll walk by and do the head nod,” she said. Oftentimes, however, she’ll pull a fruit leather or other treat from her purse to share. “Personally, I’m way more comfortable giving an apple,” French added. A quick poll of some of the downtown regulars reveals an offer of food, along with a “how are you?” gets a polite response at the very least, and typically an outpouring of gratitude. An offer of a Subway sandwich, an apple or granola bar inspired smiles, handshakes, and many thanks: “God Bless!” “You’re beautiful!” and “cool,” among them. But homeless advocate Rose Henry, who has herself
struggled with poverty, has a different take on the interaction. “Way too often the poor and homeless get painted with the same brush of negativity. Everyone seems to (think) that when a beggar is out panhandling that it is for drugs and alcohol,” she wrote in an email to the News. “Very few will broadcast that they are without under garments (panties/ socks/ bra).” She recommends handing out bus tickets or gift certificates in small denominations. The key, Henry explained, is choice. “This gives the recipient the freedom to pick what they want.” A woman in a wheelchair stationed on Douglas Street, holding a coffee cup to collect coins, helped crystalize this lesson. When offered a snack, she smiled to reveal a mouth full of gums. “I don’t have any teeth, but I appreciate the thought,” she replied. Another man a block away also refused, explaining he can’t eat sugar as a diabetic. While refusing to give his name, he is keen to open his backpack to reveal a portable camp stove he uses to cook his food under a bridge where he sleeps at night. A replacement propane tank costs $11.20, he explained, as he gladly accepts a loonie toward its purchase. “The panhandler has a need that has not been met in any other way,” said Henry. “They are craving something, whether it is food or something to numb the pain of the coldness or hunger pangs. The giver thinks that they can tell the panhandler how to spend the money which takes away the rights of all Canadians to have the sense of freedom to choose.” rholmen@vicnews.com

A sign of spring? Winter may have started but warm temperatures mean visitors to the B.C. legislature grounds can enjoy flowers in bloom, including the buds on this yellow rose bush. Could an early spring be far behind?
