Geoffrey Newell was just seven years old when he first fledged his interested in birds. It was the movie Winged Migration and his father’s own biology background that sparked what would become a life-long passion.

For those who have attended Geoffrey’s frequent birding tours with the Friends of Uplands Park and now the Capital Regional District, it’s no surprise the avian expert has been doing this most of his life. Those who haven’t seen the Oak Bay resident in action, however, might be surprised to know Geoffrey is only 17.
“I would say my favourite bird is the Pileated Woodpecker,” he says. “You find them in mature forests, they are about as big as a crow and have a red crest, and just their size for a woodpecker is pretty spectacular.”

Despite having deep roots and a historically strong electoral showing on Vancouver Island, the B.C. NDP left Island party members off a panel appointed to analyze its disappointing loss in the May 14 provincial election. Party president Moe Sihota, the former NDP cabinet minister who represented EsquimaltPort Renfrew (later EsquimaltMetchosin) in the legislature for upwards of 15 years, said, however, geographical representation was not among the criteria used to select the five panelists. “We tried to select the panel based on a range of skills and experiences,” he said. Gender and ethnic representation were also factors, he added, as were “independence of mind,” and level of success FINE in life.CUSTOM JEWELLERS The panel, which includes former Manitoba NDP cabinet minister Eugene Kostyra and Newton-North Delta MP Jinny Sims, will receive input from people around the province.

Ticketing infuriates hotrodders Edward Hill News staff
Every Saturday night they roll into the Royal Oak Shopping Centre – Ford pickups from the 1930s, deuce coups, 1950s Chevys. For more than a decade, Francelli’s Coffee House has been the social hub for classic car collectors from across Greater Victoria. But last Saturday, the regular meet and greet went sour. After Victoria’s classic car regulars basked in the glory of Northwest Deuce Days, they cruised to Francelli’s for the 5 p.m. coffee. It didn’t take long for Robbins Parking staff to start ticketing cars – hotrods specifically. Robbins staff handed out eight tickets (two have since been rescinded) before 30 or 40 classic car collectors drove off. “(Robbins agents) kept asking ‘who is in charge of the car show?’ Everyone kept telling them it isn’t a car show,” said Leslie Hume, owner of a 1949 Austin A40, and a regular at Francelli’s. For many of the classic car owners, the tickets, worth about $32, are a shocking slap to the face by property manager Hansbraun Investments Ltd. “These aren’t young kids screeching around. These guys are lawyers, doctors, police, old guys with passion for cars. It really is a community,” said Andy Collins, owner of Francelli’s Coffee House. “These guys are customers, they spend money here, they are local and all shop here during the week. Why would a lease company try to push business away? The Saturday night car show has been here for years and suddenly they don’t like it? I don’t understand it.” Victoria Shannon with Hansbraun Investments and the property manager for Royal Oak Shopping Centre, said the classic cars, at times more than 100, monopolize too much space, to the point where owners have put up caution tape and brought out lawn chairs. “The car show has been an unauthorized event at

the centre for many years. It’s never been allowed and no one asked permission,” Shannon said. “We’ve had so many issues over the years with tenants saying the parking is full and that it’s impacting customers.” Shannon said the ticketing came after a period of requests and warnings. “We try not to discriminate against classic cars, at the same time we can’t let the event take over the parking lot every Saturday afternoon,” she said. “As it stands I don’t think I’ll go back. I don’t know if I’ll be ticketed or what,” said Larry Zilinksy, owner of 1932 Ford Roadster. Shannon said if the classic car owners can become organized as a group and get the proper insurance, the property manager wants to find a middle ground. In September the shopping centre is planning a fundraising event for Cops for Cancer, which is an opportunity to involve classic car owners, she said. “We want to find a way for this to be positive.”

Victoria mail to be routed through Vancouver No layoffs, but positions cut at mail processing plant in Saanich Edward Hill News staff
In Greater Victoria, a letter mailed to your friend across the city will journey through the Lower Mainland and back, starting this September. Canada Post is shutting down processing of local letters at its Glanford Avenue plant starting Sept. 16. All mail currently split between mailboxes as “on Vancouver Island” and “off Vancouver Island” will merge into one for a trip across the water. Victoria’s Canada Post plant will continue to process parcels and other mail that can’t be sorted automatically. “I think (delivery) will be slower,” said Janet Barney, president of the Canadian United Postal Workers local 850 and a letter carrier in Langford. “Canada Post says standards will be maintained, but it is being slowly eroded. “Letters (in Victoria) used to be processed that night and on the street the next day. That is gone.” Barney clarified that while 10
Don Denton/News staff
Janet Barney, president of Canadian United Postal Workers local 850 and a letter carrier in Langford, said mail delivery around Greater Victoria will be negatively affected when all mail sorting is shifted to Vancouver. positions in the automated sorting section will be eliminated, those employees have job security and can bid on vacant positions elsewhere in the city. “Victoria is losing 10 well-paid, stable jobs,” she said. “The community is effected. Those jobs are going to Vancouver.” Canada Post disputes the union numbers and says five positions
in Victoria will be lost through attrition. The corporation insists delivery service levels won’t change – the standard for localto-local mail service remains two days. Anick Losier, spokeswoman for Canada Post in Ottawa, said the reality is most mail in Victoria is sorted in Vancouver already – mail deposited in any mailbox in
Victoria before 5 p.m. is shipped to the Mainland, and any mail after 5 p.m. is shipped to the Glanford plant in Saanich. A network of Canada Post trucks travel between Vancouver Island and Vancouver multiple times each day, Losier said. “We are using the existing network. There is space on the trucks,” she said. “The equipment in Vancouver processes 40,000 letters per hour. The process is faster than the Victoria facility.” The Glanford plant at the winter holiday peak processes 100,000 letters per day, Losier said, and about half that in the summer. “Victoria will continue to process parcels and direct marketing mail. Those are two lines of business we are trying to grow,” she said. The centralization and restructuring of mail delivery is the continuation of Canada Post trying to stem losses due to less people mailing letters – a billion less per year compared to 2006 and 2012. A business model that relies on earning half its revenue from delivering letters “isn’t sustainable,” Losier said. “What we are trying to do is maximize our equipment and maximize our people’s time. ... Consumers expect us to make responsible decisions.” Barney argued that Canada
Post is “making millions” and isn’t a burden on taxpayers, especially from the growth in parcel delivery generated from online shopping. In its 2013 first quarter report, the corporation noted the parcel business isn’t yet large enough to offset losses in letter mail. That said, it posted profits over the last two fiscal quarters after losses through most of 2011-12. Canada Post points out that it would have lost a total of $127 million had it not sold its property on Georgia Street in Vancouver – that plant is still operating until a new facility is opened in 2014 at the Vancouver airport – and renegotiated benefits and salaries with the UPWC. “An influx of parcels by six or seven per cent is not enough to compensate for the loss of letters,” Losier said. Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison doubts Canada Post can maintain its service levels in Victoria, calling the shift to Vancouver “a short sighted decision.” The community is losing jobs and the reputation of Canada Post is eroding further, he said. “Canada Post says the same level of service will be maintained. You have to laugh out loud. To think the service will be the same is ludicrous.” editor@saanichnews.com
Newell’s enthusiasm for birds reaches into art and imitation Continued from Page A1
It’s also one of the first birds Geoffrey began drawing from memory as a young boy – a talent he developed so far that he was noticed – and became friends with – renowned Canadian wildlife artist Fenwick Lansdowne. Lansdowne, who also lived in Oak Bay, died in 2008 but told Geoffrey he reminded him of himself as a young artist. It was a defining moment for the young man, who keeps his sketchbook fresh with intricate colour drawings. “Probably two of the best places you can go to see some incredible birds are Martindale Flats and Island View Beach,” says Geoffrey. “If you are looking for specific birds, like owls, any thick forested area, like Francis/King Park, will offer great viewing.” Geoffrey has now found 280 species of birds in Victoria – a number that officially separates him from fellow birders who take

easier before the Geoffrey’s voice changed. He was able to imitate whistles and calls, from his favourite woodpeckers to ravens and oyster catchers. Though he grew out of that talent, the home-schooled Geoffrey
Did you know? n Perhaps better known around the region for being the older of two karate superstar brothers, Geoffrey Newell has quickly put the Island on the map with his athletic skills. Both he and brother Jean will compete for Team Canada at the Pan-American Karate Championships in Columbia this August. That is only the icing on a seven-year award-winning career that has seen Geoffrey listed as a “rising star” in the international karate scene, an Olympic hopeful and the teacher of dozens of youth who hope to turn out just like him.

hopes to continue his karate career into his mid-20s, and intends to take biology in university. Meanwhile, he’ll be leading his birding tours a few times throughout the summer between championship karate competitions. “In order to do what you are passionate about, you really need the support of your parents, and I’ve been extremely lucky in that way,” says Geoffrey. “To go birding, you do need some equipment: binoculars, I use 10x50s, a telescope for ocean birds, a field guide and a camera – because you never know when a rare bird might appear.” Go on your own birding trip with Geoffrey and the Friends of Uplands Park Sunday, July 28, 8 a.m. or and Sunday, Aug. 11, 8 a.m. at the end of Cattle Point in the large parking lot. Geoffrey will also give a birding lesson for the Capital Regional District on Sunday, Aug. 18, 9 a.m. at Witty’s Lagoon in Metchosin.

Tread carefully with ship contract Various individuals and organizations want the province to force B.C. Ferries management to have three newly announced ships built by a B.C. shipyard. But it’s not as simple as just mandating it, then standing back and telling the ferry corporation to just “get ’er done.” Best value vs. Even Brian Carter, local jobs decision the president of Shipyards, must be province’s Seaspan which owns and operates Victoria Shipyards in Esquimalt, acknowledged his company will have to look at what’s being asked for first, before it can determine whether it even has the capacity and infrastructure to commit to such a project. A perfect scenario for the Capital Region would see the ships built in B.C., constructed on time and on budget, and with much of the work and jobs coming to Victoria Shipyards, the largest of Seaspan’s three facilities in this province. But as the ferry corporation found when it commissioned its Celebration-class vessels some years back, international companies are well-equipped to handle such orders and will provide stiff competition for B.C. firms that are only in recent years picking up steam again. We’d love to trumpet the regional economic activity that would be created by the further expansion of shipbuilding capabilities in Esquimalt. At the same time, all of us as taxpayers will be footing the bill for those ferries, and it behooves the corporation to seek out the best value for money in this transaction. Determining whether the creation of a significant number of short-term, well-paying jobs is more important than the potential to overspend for this project, if the bidding was not opened up to a worldwide competition, is a job for government, not the B.C. Ferry Corporation. The Liberals, despite saying they will let B.C. Ferries make the final decision, have to make sure the corporation is absolutely clear on government’s viewpoint on that issue.

there was life on Earth there was no food for animals like us because everything we eat was once alive. We consume the carcasses of animals and plants and absorb their molecules to form every part of our bodies. We also anticipated that and brought food. In fact, I expected to stay a while and brought seeds to grow greens. But where could I plant them? There would be dust, sand, clay and gravel, but no soil because it’s formed by the accumulation of molecules from the remains of plants and animals. Finally, the sun sets and although it’s warm because of greenhouse gases, we decide to build a fire so we can sit around and exchange stories. Where could we find fuel to burn? Wood, peat, dung, coal, oil and gas all store the sun’s energy as photosynthetic products that we burn to liberate fire. Before life, there was no fuel. Again, in anticipation we brought wood, kindling and paper and set them up for a fire. But fire requires oxygen, so nothing happens when we strike the match. The point of this exercise is to illustrate that the very foundations of our lives – air, water, photosynthesis, soil and food – are made possible by the web of life that evolved on a once-sterile planet. Living organisms on land and in oceans, including us, create, cleanse and regenerate those vital elements. Who needs nature? We do. Without nature, we would not be here. How do we put an economic value on that? davidsuzuki.org.

This is the mindset that is driving us down the road to spending billions of unnecessary dollars. The poopinto-ocean-equals-bad attitude is a knee-jerk reaction not based on science.

As for detergents, pharmaceuticals and other chemicals, I agree we should do something about that, but the currently proposed treatment plan won’t do it. I’m not sure the technology exists to do that yet. And road runoff? That is the storm drain system and doesn’t even belong in this discussion. Please, please, please, can we get a firm scientific backing before we make the decision to spend a bunch of money now, then a bunch more every year to support this wrong-headed plan.

Readers respond: Smart meters, Canada’s past Saving jobs a benefit of keeping old meters I’m curious to know why the massive laying off of meter readers has not been addressed during the debate over B.C. Hydro smart meters. I think homeowners and renters who have prevented our analog meters from being replaced should be congratulated, not only for protecting the environment from toxic EMF’s, but for saving jobs in our province. And for the thousands of British Columbians who had their meters replaced against their wishes and want them reinstalled, again congratulations are in order, for more jobs will be saved there. Energy Minister Bill Bennett is appreciated for acknowledging the legal, moral and health grounds smart meter opponents stand on. However, to be charged an extra fee to have our meters read amounts to double-dipping, in that this cost has always been factored into our B.C. Hydro bills. Keep the meter readers and

Greater Victoria business women in the spotlight Jennifer Blyth Special to the News
Greater Victoria is fortunate to count many remarkable women entrepreneurs among its business ranks and, as Black Press prepares to celebrate its annual Women in Business Awards, we want to hear about them. The awards are presented each fall at the Women in Business Gala, an opportunity to celebrate, learn and share the successes of local women in the workplace. “There are so many bright, hardworking, innovative women in Greater Victoria and these awards are just one way we can honour their initiative,” said Black Press group publisher Penny Sakamoto. Categories include the prestigious Business Owner of the Year, Eco-entrepreneur, Rising Star and Above and Beyond. In addition to specific category criteria, nominees must be female residents of Greater Victoria. Readers are welcome to nominate more than one individual and can even nominate themselves. Nominations must also include at least one letter of support for the nominee. Past winners have included Women Business Owners of the Year, Shawna Walker from the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and L.A. Limousines’ Kyara Kahakauwila; plus Eco-entrepreneurs Carolyn Barter, from Baja Rosi’s Consignment Cabana, and Knotty By Nature’s Stephanie Papik. Rising Star winners have

ness, including home-based or franchise, with an environmental/green focus. Nominees’ business practices must demonstrate knowledge of and adherence to eco-friendly principles. Recognizing that a successful business also relies on the significant contributions of dedicated employees, Black Press also awards two employee honours. The Above and Beyond category is open to female employees of any business in Greater Victoria who demonstrate dedication that goes beyond their job description. The successful nominee will be a veteran of her industry who continues to make her mark in both her career and community. The Rising Star award is presented to a woman who may be new to her industry, but is making her mark as an employee of any business in Greater Victoria. Nominees will demonstrate creativity, enthusiasm and a strong work ethic, along with contributions to her community. “We are pleased to honour women just starting out in business and those who have paved the way for others by giving back to our community for years,” Sakamoto said. Nominations may be submitted by email to promo@vicnews. com or dropped off downtown at 818 Broughton St. or in the West Shore at 777 Goldstream Ave. The deadline for nominations is noon on Friday, Aug. 2. All complete nominations will be reviewed and finalists will be contacted directly. Look for award winners in the Women in Business special section published this October. editor@vicnews.com
A final report is due to the party executive in time for this fall’s party convention. The panel is charged with asking “tough questions” about the party and its approach to B.C. politics. “We’re trying to see where we are successful and why, and where we are not successful and why,” Sihota said. “In particular, I think our weakness really lies in the public’s perception of our capacity to manage the economy for the province. That seems to be less of a variable on the Island than elsewhere.” He expects the panel to “look very much at the DNA of the NDP.” When the NDP won elections, in 1991 and 1996, its victories were largely due to a split of the right-wing vote, Sihota said.
Since suffering near annihilation in 2001 then re-establishing itself under Victoria’s Carole James, NDP leader between 2003 and 2010, the party has struggled to find the formula to overtake the B.C. Liberals. Over the years, Sihota said, the party has experienced tension between those who view the party as a political movement for change and those who measure success by electoral victories, which come with the ability to create meaningful change through legislation. This year’s election loss followed months of polls showing the NDP well ahead of the Liberals. What that demonstrated, Sihota said, is that “substantial changes are required, particularly as it relates to our brand and the way our brand is perceived and marketed.” ddescoteau@vicnews.com
Future finders? The B.C. NDP appointed a five-member panel to review the party’s election night collapse May 14. Its findings will be compiled in a report due to the party executive by the party convention in November. The panelists are: n Former Manitoba NDP cabinet minister and special advisor to Premier Gary Doer, Eugene Kostyra n Cindy Oliver, president of the Federation of PostSecondary Educators of B.C. n Andy Ross, former president of Canadian Office and Professional Employees Union Local 378 n Pam Sihota, a law student from Terrace n Jinny Sims, NDP Member of Parliament for NewtonNorth Delta

Returning to work or school after having a child is never easy, and finding someone trustworthy to watch your precious little one makes it even harder. When Metchosin mom Wendy Foster decided to return to work, she had a tough time finding a daycare with a part-time spot. Even after finding a facility that met her needs, Foster had to get her mother watch to her son for four months before a spot opened up. And her mother wasn’t keen on providing the childcare on an ongoing basis. “It was difficult,”
Foster said. Now her two children Erik, 4, and Callie, 2, both attend Sunshine Group Daycare in Langford twice a week. “We like how much outside time they get and that there is no TV,” said Foster “With part-time it’s tough changing a day and there isn’t a lot of flexibility.” The group daycare – as opposed to a home-based daycare – was more appealing to Foster, as the childcare providers work in pairs. “I just know how I am (with kids) and it’s easy to get frustrated.
With two (care providers) they can take a break if they need to,” Foster said. It depends on square-footage and other factors, but many homebased daycares operate with a single caregiver. Langford resident Gerry St. Cyr jokes his wife found his daughter Katie’s daycare, but said the couple asked friends about their daycare experiences and shopped around. In the end Katie ended up at a group centre. “We chose a group daycare because we’ve heard stories of kids

to purchase the small, blue and white shop vac, which she’d discovered amid the appliances. Her love for it was immediate as she pulled it along by its cord, assuming somehow, it was a leash. “R2D2” became the latest pet and Sierra and her friend quickly set about washing it – “No, you need to use a hose, R2D2 may not go in the bath with you” – dressing it (how do you dress a shop vac?) and incorporating it into games. Although it took up a bit of space in the bedroom, I confess I was a bit gleeful about this pet, who did not have to be de-fleaed or let out at 3 a.m. But I should have foreseen the future. Eventually, Sierra became so attached, R2D2 needed to go places with us and, of course, I was left to care for it. Hence the memorable vision of me walking through a park, pulling a shop vac or, the very worst: the day R2D2 had to watch Sierra perform in the school play – sitting on the seat next to me. Eventually, R2D2 went the way of Eggy – slowly moved out of sight and eventually out of mind. And later, of course, the girls became busy with school and sports, and started adopting boys instead (which, it turned out, were far more complicated than the good ole days of feeding, cleaning and walking pets). In the meantime, I forged ahead, dodging various stray cats and SPCA dogs, and all-the-while reminding the girls that goldfish are really, really cool. ●

Oak Bay Family Hunting for the perfect daycare continued from 7
This Family’s Life Victoria. “There is no profit in it,” Coy said, due to the required ratio of one care provider for every four babies. Once a child is three, the daycare ratio is increased to eight children per care provider. In terms of finding a daycare spot, the easiest time to get a child into a new centre is during July, August and September, when children are moving into kindergarten and vacating spots. The general rule is the sooner the better for finding a daycare. For a home-based daycare, the ratio is a maximum of eight children, spanning from infant to five years old. Some home daycares are licensed through Vancouver Island Health Authority and others are not. “A home daycare needs to be licensed if you have three or more children not related by blood,” said Kim Bruce, VIHA regional manager of community care facilities. Each licensed daycare is required to adhere to requirements for square footage, safety and having an outdoor play area. Daycare operators are required to have First Aid certification and take other courses and training. Licenced daycares are also checked for such details as the hot water temperature. “You have to find what fits for you. Some parents want more structure, and others prefer it to be more low key,” Bruce said. ● charla@goldstreamgazette.com
Q&A
Cindy Lee is mostly a stay-at-home mother of two young kids, three-year-old Millie and six-year-old Nathan. Together, she and husband Neil Rogers own Timeless Toys on Oak Bay Avenue. “We often joke that my time at the store is my ‘time off’ because I’m not with the kids.“ B.C. (before children) she used to spend her spare time cycling, running, hiking, skiing, anything outdoorsy really. She loved listening to music. “Just recently, I realized it had been over six years since I’d listened to anything other than kid’s music or CBC radio. How do you find time for you, in addition to your role as mom? Finding “me” time is difficult for me. It feels too selfish. I also really value “family time” so that on weekends when Neil is not at the store, I want to do something all together instead of taking that precious time for myself. Come September, Millie will be in preschool in the morning so it will be easier to find “me” time then, as long as Neil doesn’t schedule me into the toy store. What are you reading right now? What do you read with your kids? am currently reading Hold on to Your Kids by Gordon Neufeld, which I started over a year ago, and The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce,

Sometimes it is the walk to or from school that I most look forward to. We always have good chats then and on the way home we make lots of stops to discover and explore the natural world. Other times I look forward to snuggling up on the couch to read a book together. And then again, sometimes the part of the day I most look forward to is bedtime! ●

in private daycares watching TV all day,” St. Cyr said. Fernwood resident Samantha Walrafen is on the hunt for a daycare for her three–year–old Luke and six–month old Mary–Stephanie. “I am just starting to ask around, but it’s hard to find a part-time place,” said Walrafen, who is about to start a master’s program at the University of Victoria. “I want a daycare worker that really understands attachment parenting and that the children get a lot of one-one one adult time. I will probably look for a home-based daycare because of these values.” Kim Coy has operated both homebased and group daycare centres. “I tell parents they need to ask themselves, ‘Do you feel comfortable in the environment on your first impression?’” Coy owns Sunshine Group Daycare and operates three centres on the West Shore for about 150 children. She runs programs that range from infants to after school care programs. “Bring your child to the daycare when you go and look at it,” Coy said. It’s important to check for cleanliness and ask about the longevity and training of the staff. If a centre has children of varying ages playing together, Coy suggests looking at the toys and making sure there aren’t pieces a smaller child may choke on. Coy noted that infant care is exceptionally difficult to find in Greater

ome might think the library is a thing of the past — but “it’s more than a pile of old dusty books,” says circulation assistant Kaya Fraser. And Victorians should rejoice, because the Greater Victoria Public Library is an innovative one, with a mandate to find new ways to connect with the community and “inspire the joy of discovery through programs, collections and training opportunities,” according to the organization’s strategic plan. And the GVPL is doing just that when it launches a new collection dedicated solely to local music, July 29, at the three main district branches — Central, Nellie McClung and Juan de Fuca. The new collection was the idea of Cheryl Landry, music specialist and public services librarian, who pitched the concept almost three years ago. “It wasn’t until a year ago that the timing, money and logistics came together, so I put in a proposal,” she says. While there are many local music titles in the current collection, they weren’t easily searchable using the term “local.” “It’s always been lumped in with the respective genres,” says Landry. “It hasn’t been obvious, so we wanted to expand that, and decided to create a collection where local is the focus.” To begin, Landry sought out the help of the savvy staff at Ditch Records and CDs. “They gave us some great recommendations and we purchased what we could from them,” says Landry. She then put out a call to the Victoria Conservatory of Music, the department of music at UVic and the larger community using social media. “I didn’t need to go any further,” she says. “I spent the initial budget. We do have a certain amount of the CD budget earmarked to add to the collection each year, but the music has to meet a certain criteria. We had to start somewhere.” To start things off, GVPL has amassed more than 150 unique titles in the collection, often with multiple copies. The artists need to have a strong connection to Victoria, Vancouver Island or the Gulf Islands and the music had to be of professional quality, and commercially produced within the last five years.

“It’s quite a wide range. We have the typical pop and rock, plus indie, folk, singer-songwriter, jazz, big band, choral. There’s even a violinist who’s been nominated for a Grammy,” says Landry. Landry herself studied music in university and thought the idea of a local music collection would be a great way to support the local music community while encouraging Victorians to listen to something new. “I think it’s important to support artists in general. Libraries’ roles are changing. We’re less curators of the past and more supporters of new ideas and creations. We want to create a record of musical life in the area, but also promote the artists and also inspire new collaborations — and hopefully allow the general public than might not frequent coffee houses or local music events to come across new music in a different way.” To kick off the collection, GVPL is hosting the Local MusicFest from 2-5 p.m., Saturday, July 27 in Centennial Square. The free event features live music by eight artists featured in the local music collection, including Sets in the West, Renata Young, Ethan Caleb, Alan Jossul, Balkan Babes, One Bright Morning, Ocean Noise and Kaya Fraser Band. Fraser, a roots-rock singer-songwriter, is backed by a three piece band that includes Carl Cavanagh on bass. Cavanagh works alongside Fraser and Landry as a librarian at the GVPL Central branch. “This is a very clear gesture of support for the local music community,” says Fraser. “It’s a way for people to discover things, because increasingly people want to try before they buy. Even though they’re not buying a CD when they take it out from the library, they may well go out and buy a CD or go to a show and as a musician the number one thing I want is to get into people’s ears.” “Some of the music was already in our collection, but it’s not easy to find. There’s no way to search for music that is specifically local and it’s a great idea to use local as a search term and be able to browse a separate collection. The concert is just the icing on the cake.” People in attendance will get the first crack at checking out items from the new collection, which will be available in the branches the following Monday.

Musical soulmates reunite for summer tour BY TRAVIS PATERSON sports@vicnews.com
A
s promised, jazz singer Emily Braden has returned from the bustle of New York city, if only for a couple of shows. Braden reunites with Oliver Swain’s Big Machine tonight (July 26) at Upstairs Cabaret. The band also features fiddler Jaron Freeman-Fox and 17-year-old guitarist Quinn Bachand. It’s a homecoming for Braden, originally from Idaho, who lived here for seven years while doing her undergraduate and graduate studies in Spanish at the University of Victoria. During that time she came into her own as an artist and since relocated to pursue the jazz dream. “Living between both cities was getting to be a bit much but it feels like home in Victoria. It’s where I became myself as an artist. “Victoria is such a place for recharging, I’m looking forward to seeing all the friends here and touring some festivals. I love Canada and am looking forward to seeing different places there,” she said. Singing provides the bulk of Braden’s New York income but she also works with the Washington Heights CORNER Project, (cornerproject.org/connect-2/meet-our-par-
ticipants), a harm reduction initiative on the streets of New York City. Speaking Spanish is part of the gig and is paramount to her effectiveness, given the large Spanish-speaking population. “Music in New York is all about the hustle but it’s also such a tough thing in NYC so I’m lucky I’m so passionate about the CORNER Project,” she said. The 2012 New York City Best of the Best jazz vocalist winner was on Oliver Swain’s 2010 album In a Big Machine, so expect a lot of material from that, she said. It’s going to be a work in progress as she only arrived a week ago. Braden’s jazz vocals will be reintegrated as a backup singer to Swain, adding a gospel element to the songs. “(Swain) and I are musical soulmates. I’m more of a jazz head and he’s into more of a roots and bluegrass scene, but he helped me write my first tune in his atrium. We both like to make music and branch out, it’s going to be fun to figure out how to sing with him (again).” The group kicked off its upcoming tour in Duncan on Thursday and will hit cities throughout B.C. and Alberta well into August. Braden will return for The Victoria Django Festival on Aug. 9.

The Little Prince monday’s movies
J
ust as one’s DNA can reveal family traits, astrology does likewise. An astrological peek reveals the new prince George is a Cancer with Mercury, Mars and Jupiter in Cancer. If this baby had been born 36 minutes later, he would be a Leo - the sign of royalty. But he has plenty of royal company in GeorGia Cancer. NicoLs The baby’s father, Prince William, has Sun and Moon in Cancer; his mother Kate has her Moon in Cancer, and his grandmother Princess Diana was a Cancer. Cancer signs are nurturing. Meanwhile, Kate is a Capricorn and the baby has Moon in Capricorn. And his great grandmother Queen Elizabeth is Capricorn Rising. Lots of similarities. Capricorn is a perfectionist sign that rules the government. Because of his birth so close to Leo, he shares qualities of both Leo and Cancer. And indeed, Queen Elizabeth has Moon in Leo, and Prince Charles is Leo Rising. In turn, Charles is a Scorpio and the baby is Scorpio Rising. These two - the new prince and his grandfather will click amazingly. Watch for future photos. There is also a strong Sagittarius influence coming from his grandmother Diana, who was Sagittarius Rising. This gives him a freedom-seeking quality that adores travel and will love to be outside enjoying sports and physical activities. First and foremost, he will strive to become a better person in this lifetime. He’ll be attracted to self-help books, courses and activities for self-improvement. He will seek principles to govern his life so he can feel confident that by adhering to these principles, he can live fearlessly. He will also love to travel. But he will not seek out the popularity of his uncle Harry. He will have fewer friends, but steadfast, lifelong buddies. He is strong, wilful, and yet, an imaginative dreamer who thinks in pictures. There is much passion in his chart. (Oh yes, we have a little stud muffin in the making.) He’ll have heightened sexual energy, a debonair demeanour plus a love of mystery and intrigue. He will be secretive. In fact, his chart shows he will fall heir to secret information. One royal tradition that will happily be carried on - from generations before him - is his love of animals and outdoor sports. This young prince is indeed a delightful addition to the royal family.

ED is a fictitious (one hopes) CIA acronym for “retired, extremely dangerous” and was first used as the title of a droll and violent black comedy three years ago, wherein two retired CIA buddies were the subjects of a mysterious CIA assassination plot. Happily, Frank (Bruce Willis) and Marvin (John Malkovich) were able to show the youngsters a thing or three about lethal “wetwork,” and went on to not only save themselves but also save the day as they short-circuited a dire conspiracy. The movie was a hit and Frank and Marvin are back in RED 2, and reunited with MI6 counterpart Victoria (Helen Mirren, who claims she based her purse-lipped and murderous character on Martha Stewart) and Frank’s girlfriend, Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), who is eager to join in on all the action even though Frank just wants to play house with his civilian cutie. Adding to the fun, Anthony Hopkins, Catherine Zeta-Jones, and David Thewlis are scenery-chewing ride-alongs. Once again, these crusty, squabbling characters find themselves evading a large contingent of agents trying to blow them up or mow them down. It’s all part of a baroque, globetrotting plot that centres on a Cold War-era nuclear bomb that has been hiding somewhere in Moscow for 30 years and is now coveted by various factions. The storyline is both generic and messy, and much of the violence seems unnecessary. In truth this would just be a cable flick were it not for all the great performers, whose alchemical wit and panache elevate brutal banality into passable entertainment. Rating: ★★½ RED 2 continues at the Empire 6, SilverCity, Empire Uni 4, and Westshore.
True believers
W
ith our very own terrorist bomb scare so recently in the news, it’s useful to remember that extremist anti-war groups in the 1970s such as The Weather Underground brought a shocking level of homegrown violence to American soil. That murderous legacy is examined in The Company You Keep, a thoughtful drama directed by and starring Robert Redford. Jim Grant (Redford) is a decent lawyer and family man who’s been a pillar of his community for 30 years. But the unexpected arrest of terrorist fugitive Sharon Solarz (Susan Sarandon), wanted for the long-ago murder of a bank guard, sends a keen young reporter named Ben Shepard (Shia LaBeouf) sniffing around Grant. And Grant, whose real name is Nick Sloan, is wanted on that same warrant. So he goes on the lam in the middle of the night, just steps ahead of a pugnacious FBI agent (Terrence Howard) determined to take him down.

What follows is a low-key thriller as much as a drama, one that examines the morality of violent protest as well as the scars borne by idealists who convinced themselves that the use of lethal force was appropriate when their country was engaged in an unjust war (and was beating and even killing its own student protestors). As Grant/Sloan furtively reconnects with several Weather alumni in search of an ex-lover of the time (Julie Christie) who may hold the key to his dilemma, he is pursued by Shepard as well as the FBI. And the film suggests that both an FBI agent ruthlessly wielding state power and an ambitious reporter with no regard for the collateral damage his front-page stories inflict on the innocent, are carrying their own payload of moral taint. A decent albeit occasionally talky film, Company should get an award for its amazing cast, which includes Nick Nolte, Chris Cooper, Stanley Tucci, and Brendan Gleeson. Although it lacks the savvy political edge of All The President’s Men, this is part of cinema’s vanishing breed: a film for adults. Rating: ★★★ The Company You Keep plays July 26-27 at UVic’s Cinecenta.

Victoria United reserves defender Ivica Bratanovic, right, kicks the feet out from under James Fraser of Penticton Pinnacles during the second half of the Pacific Coast Soccer League U-21 men’s reserve match Sunday in Penticton.

IN BRIEF Adanacs lead 2-0 over Shamrocks The Victoria Jr. Shamrocks have no room for error as they attempt to solve the Coquitlam Jr. Adanacs in Game 3 of the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League semifinal series, Saturday in Coquitlam. A win brings the series back to Bear Mountain Arena on Sunday at 5 p.m. The Adanacs won 13-8 in Coquitlam on Saturday and 13-6 on Sunday at Bear Mountain Arena.

Teddy Jenner knew he needed to make a better impression to get onto Sportsnet Drafted. After four years of failed attempts, Jenner has cracked the reality show’s final 24 and will attend a four day bootcamp in Toronto beginning Aug. 11. Audtitions took place in Vancouver during a weekend in May, and Jenner was in the area with the Juan de Fuca pee wee A2 boys lacrosse team, which he coached. Auditions took place on a Saturday, but Jenner’s first audition didn’t sit well, so he went back on Sunday. “They were surprised, but I didn’t need any prep time. I talked about what the Canucks need to do to succeed, which is not my team. I had to show them I’m more than just a one-trick pony.” His trick, if you can
Victoria United U-21 men’s squad ended its season with a disappointing 8-0 drubbing by the Penticton Pinnacles on Sunday. Both of United’s premier and U-21 squads finished outside of the playoffs in the Pacific Coast Soccer League reserves division. “It’s a bit of a disappointment not playing at RAP for the first time in 20 years but we had both teams practising on the field at the same time at Braefoot Park and had a great transition year there,” said Bill Anderson of United’s board of directors. United carried around 45 players on its two teams this year despite being bumped from RAP by baseball’s Victoria HarbourCats and the PDL Victoria Highlanders. The Highlanders men are off to California for the PDL Western Conference Championship semifinals against the Ventura County Fusion. Meanwhile the powerhouse Peninsula Co-op Highlanders women’s team has drawn the Kamloops Heat for Saturday. It’s the first match in the Pacific Coast Soccer League’s Dave Fryatt Challenge Cup playoffs in Coquitlam. A win puts the Co-op Highlanders into Sunday’s final. sports@vicnews.com

CFAX reporter and WLA play-by-play announcer Teddy Jenner is hoping to win Drafted and earn a year-long contract with Sportsnet. call it that, is lacrosse. But anyone who knows the former Victoria Shamrocks player (and Mann Cup winner) knows he is passionate about sports, and isn’t confined to box lacrosse. It just so happens, however, that he’s become the Bob McKenzie of box lacrosse in Canada. He hosts a weekly radio show Off the Crosse Bar, which features the games’ top athletes, coaches and general
managers. The lacrosse community isn’t big, but it’s tight, and he’s constantly under the microscope. Now he’s out to prove that he can handle the same pressure as a Sportsnet sportscaster. When he got the call in June it came from last year’s winner, Matt Drapel, and it didn’t come easy. “He called me ‘fivetime Teddy,’ and actually had me convinced
I wasn’t on the show, but was just toying with me because I want it so bad.” Jenner is second in online voting, which would give him immunity into the final six. For a month he’ll live in Toronto and compete against 24 other contestants including Victoria’s Justin Kelly, who was featured in the News recently. Visit Teddy Jenner’s Drafted Facebook site to vote for him.

Chloe Faught, left, and Colene Wood, centre, both involved with Girl Guides of Canada, sit with Pathfinder Natalie Fischer, 15, at the Girl Guides Kingswood Camp in Saanich. The southern Vancouver Island area is lacking leaders for Sparks, Brownies and Pathfinders, meaning some young girls may not get the opportunity to participate in Girl Guides next year.

Girl Guides of Canada is in dire need of adult volunteers in Greater Victoria so girls in Brownies, Sparks, Guides and Pathfinders don’t miss out on recreational opportunities. Colene Wood, Girl Guides’ public relations advisor for the southern Vancouver Island area, says units need a certain leaderto-girl ratio to operate. With about 1,250 girls interested in participating this fall, more lead-
ers are desperately needed. “If we got 10 or 15 we would be ecstatic, that would allow us to not close units – but 20 to 25 would be ideal,” Wood said. While a unit closure usually results in girls being moved to the next nearest group, a lack of skilled adults means fewer opportunities like camps and outdoor trips. Chloe Faught, a leader for the Girl Guides’ outdoor adventure program Trex, points to camping as an example where skilled leaders with first aid are mandatory for such an excursion to take place. “We can get innovative – some leaders with certain skills can be on call (to help out another unit), but everything’s

thinner. It makes everything a little bit harder,” she said. Great benefits are available to adults interested in volunteering, Faught said, from their own personal growth to training for new skills in such areas as finance, anti-bullying, conflict resolution and more. “You can also get reimbursements for third-party training like first aid or FoodSafe,” she said. “The reward you get out of kids going, ‘Yes, I can do this,’ makes it all worthwhile.” Adult women interested in volunteering as a Girl Guide leader are encouraged to visit bc-girlguides.org/join-guiding. Leaders must undergo a criminal record check. kslavin@saanichnews.com
