Restorative Justice Victoria fears it may have to turn cases away due to funding shortfalls. The organization, which also serves Oak Bay, learned in March that an application for funding through United Way of Greater Victoria was not approved and a three-year commitment of $25,000 per year had ended. “Unfortunately this year we experienced the loss of one of our more significant multi-year funders. This $25,000 loss represented one-quarter of our budget. This would have been devastating to our organization had we not received an unexpected and extremely generous donation,” said executive director Jessica Rourke. “Loss of a significant funder as well as increases in overhead costs and a rising case load means that we desperately need a more stable source of funding.” A part of the United Way approach to funding is to ensure all agencies are stable when they’re funded, so when funding ends, they should remain stable. “Policy [is] to never fund beyond 30 per cent of an agency’s revenue so no agency should find themselves in any difficulty when our funding commitment is completed,” said Lee Anne Davies, director of community investment for United Way Greater Victoria.

The demand for signs from residents in Oak Bay, Victoria and Saanich outstrips the supply, she added. As fawn season dwindles the society is ready with a new message. “We are going to have more signs printed, with the same familiar red stripe and the image of doe and fawns, but with the words “Expect Deer” so that they can be used beyond fawn season in areas where deer cross.” Residents can get signage or more information by emailing info@deerplanoakbay.ca. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

The University of Victoria was first to approve Fawns Crossing signs and those were the first to disappear. The election-style signage was posted by the Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society in a campaign to create awareness in drivers that where a doe walks a fawn likely follows.

Funding puts restorative justice access at risk Continued from Page A1
“That’s important to us United Way wants to ensure the community is getting all of the services they need.” At the United Way, she explained, decisions are made by engaging experts in the community, running the gamut from housing to employment to trauma. “Those experts sit at the table with us and talk about every application that comes in to us … there will never be enough money, but we do ensure we can meet the greatest needs as best we can,” Davies said. “Every dollar we raise is so respected and really considered in great thoroughness as far as what the needs of the community are.” Restorative justice offers alternative measures to handle a criminal offence in the community, outside of court, in addition to a trial, or during or after a period of incarceration. Forms of restorative justice include community accountability dialogues, victim-offender mediation, peacemaking/healing circles and hybrid models. Core funding comes via the Gaming

Visitors invited to meet artists in hotel program Christine van Reeuwyk
Did you know?
Oak Bay News
The commute to work is a little longer these days for Avis Rasmussen. The Oak Bay artist hops a bus for the first bit then finishes with an amble up Margate Avenue to get to her artist in residence gig this month at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. “It’s fun, it’s really fun,” she says, working on a watercolour in a sunroom adjacent to the David Foster Foundation Theatre. “A lot of local people come and sit and have coffee.” Rasmussen tends to vacate the space when summer movie night crowds descend on the venue and on the sunny, still days she’s found out in the gardens and terraces painting en plein air.
n Avis Rasmussen is among the artists featured in the Estevan Village art walk this summer. Businesses feature artists in their shop windows with rotating artwork. “When I was a kid I did plein air in my dad’s garden. I never even thought about it,” she says. Rasmussen is the July installation of the Artists in Residence program where artists occupy hotel lobbies in Victoria, Oak Bay and Sidney, showcasing their works and interacting with hotel guests and the public. The hotel territory isn’t unfamiliar for Rasmussen who loves the landscapes offered by the waterfront site and clearly it’s
not far from home. When the hotel opened, guest rooms featured 60 of her works. The artist and printmaker also does studio work. She garnered her Bachelor of Fine Arts with distinction in painting in 1979 and her Masters in Art Education in 1982. If you stop by for a visit, Rasmussen still loves to tell the tales of inspiring her young pupils and how their freedom of expression inspired her. Visit between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Nancy Slaght is slated for residence at Oak Bay Beach Hotel in August and E. Colin Williams appears in September.

OUR VIEW
Help us celebrate Oak Bay life A community newspaper serves its readership by reflecting not only the “news” that happens within its local borders but also the people, places and events that make it unique. While Oak Bay shares many similarities with its neighbouring Greater Victoria communities, for example, it also has a distinctive character that is reflected in its villages, businesses and homes, its streetscapes and special events and in its contributions from local residents. It’s with this in mind that the Oak Bay News launches our second annual special section, Snapshot: Our Community in Pictures, an opportunity to celebrate Oak Bay in photos. We are calling on all our community photographers – and we know there’s many of you out there – to show us all that makes Oak Bay such a fantastic place in which to live, work and play. Is it the numerous municipal parks that dot the landscape? The interesting homes and gardens? The long sandy beaches and unique ecosystems? The many volunteers hard at work to make our local organizations hum? Whatever “Oak Bay” means to you, we want to see it. After all, haven’t we got an awful lot to celebrate? Our Community in Pictures will be published in the Oak Bay News on Wednesday, July 29. Send your photos to editor Jennifer Blyth at editor@oakbaynews.com by Monday, July 20 to have your photo considered. For best print results, photos should be highresolution, preferably 300dpi, and please include the photographer’s name, where the photo was taken, and any other pertinent information. For more details, please call 250480-3239. We can’t wait to see what makes Oak Bay special to you!

Is B.C. LNG industry real? Yes The B.C. legislature is back in session this week, a rare summer sitting to approve a 25-year project agreement for the first large-scale liquefied natural gas project in northern B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong released the lengthy legal agreement prior to the debate, saying this step should remove any doubt that an international investment group led by Petronas of Malaysia intends to go ahead. With billions invested in upstream resources and buyers waiting at home, the Pacific Northwest LNG group includes Chinese state corporation Sinopec, Indian Oil Corp., Japan Petroleum Exploration Corp. and Petroleum Brunei. The most contentious issue is the government’s intention to protect the investors from “discriminatory” tax and regulations for the life of the project. The government insists these sorts of long-term cost certainty agreements are commonplace, and don’t affect provincial and federal taxes or environmental regulations unless they single out LNG operations. Future governments can raise corporate tax rates, carbon tax or enter into a cap and trade system. Ottawa can scrap capital cost allowances that were recently extended to LNG producers, which is significant because Liberal leader Justin Trudeau has indicated he would get rid of what he calls
subsidies to fossil fuels. Both the province and Ottawa allow capital cost write-offs against corporate tax, to attract investment. B.C. attracted a lot of gas drilling rigs from Alberta with tax breaks for deep drilling. The B.C. government invited comparisons with Western Australia LNG producers, and NDP researchers did just that. They noted that Australia’s Gorgon and North West Shelf LNG projects have written provisions that local employment and local suppliers will get preference. Those are absent in B.C., along with apprenticeship guarantees for LNG. “There was hard bargaining by the companies, and certainly the premier went into this negotiation in a very weak position, having to deliver on her extravagant and grandiose promises from the election,” NDP critic Bruce Ralston said. “The companies did well. Whether the citizens of British Columbia did well is certainly an open question.” Green Party MLA Andrew Weaver painted himself into a corner, having spent the last two years dismissing the B.C. LNG industry as a fantasy that will never come to pass, strictly on economic grounds. He has since branded the Petronas deal, a template for any future projects, a “generational sellout.”
Another big player with gas well investments in northeast B.C. is Shell, with a proposal for Kitimat. Its prospects have improved since it took over British Gas Group, which had its own LNG intentions here. Another group led by Altagas remains on track to ship LNG from its Douglas Channel site before the end of the decade. It’s important to remember that without LNG exports, B.C.’s natural gas industry will shrink rapidly after 50 years of increasingly significant revenues from sales to the U.S. Leaving aside all the political positioning around the province’s largest private investment to date, if this doesn’t go ahead we will all feel the effects. De Jong had a blunt response when asked what the province gets in return for all its guarantees of low tax environment: “Their money.” At peak construction, Pacific Northwest LNG will need as many as 4,500 workers, with 500 or more operations jobs depending on how far it expands. The finance ministry forecasts that once Pacific Northwest LNG is up and running, it represents $9 billion in revenues to the province over 10 years, including gas royalties and taxes. That’s more than taxpayers can expect from the entire forest industry. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

Reinforcing gardening’s innumerable benefits Re: “Finding Silence in the Garden,” Oak Bay News, July 8 I have to admit something, I creep on people’s yards. If I get a glance at the backyard, I’m always checking to see if they have a vegetable garden, because everybody should have a vegetable garden. I walk my dog every morning near Carnarvon Park and I always see this gentlemen doing something in his yard. (I might add that I have a wee person on my back, sun is shining, and it’s 6:30 in the morning). During my forays past his yard, I have noticed that he has a garden, and I’ve always been curious about what he’s got growing. Anyway, I was walking near there today, he was out in his yard, so I said hello, and then gave the: “How’s the garden growing?” He said, “Great, want to come check it out?” “Sure.” And that there is the essence of gardening. We chatted for 30 minutes about gardening, shared acquaintances, and family. He shared some of his of growing tips, I shared mine. After our delightful conversation, I carried on (said child on back was getting a little restless), and when I came past his house again, he gave me some lettuce. I will return his kind gesture with some veggies from my garden and the relationship will continue, which brings me to this: Everybody should garden because the health benefits are innumerable. We all get something different from gardening, whether it’s gazing at the beauty of bees at work, watching butterflies flit to and fro, admiring an area of the garden you’ve just weeded, or making new friends. Too often we are ‘connected’ and lose ‘connection’ with what we should be ‘connected’ to: ourselves, and the sharing of our love of growing with fellow gardeners, or even better: ‘gardening converts’. W. Moore Oak Bay
Road rules shouldn’t serve aggressive drivers With regard to the recently imposed Big Brother left lane edict, I offer the following narrative. A few days ago, I found it necessary to pick up a friend at the Swartz Bay
ferry terminal. As I had plenty of time, I decided to drive strictly in accordance with the new left lane law. I entered the Pat Bay highway northbound from the Quadra Street approach, wishing to travel at the posted speed limits of either 80 or 90 km/h while at the same time adhering to this new rule of the road. To do so, I was obliged to change lanes no fewer than 35 times. The overwhelming majority of highway collisions is brought about by lane changes. I find it highly distressing that traffic flow decisions are now being made to appease “aggressive drivers,” who may become annoyed by being prevented from travelling at rates of speed in excess of the posted speed limit. I beg to suggest that such scofflaws, rather than law-abiding drivers, ought to the targets of policing bodies. These malfeasants need to be taken off the road and enrolled in compulsory anger management programs. Is the speed limit what is posted on the traffic sign or not? If it isn’t, then amend the sign. Surely the administration of justice is brought into disrepute by a law which decrees that a citizen who fails to enable another to engage in illegal conduct be punished while the latter escapes penalty. At some point in our recent past, signs reading “keep right except to pass” have surreptitiously replaced those reading “slower traffic keep right.” I myself shall continue to drive in the left lane at the posted speed limit, and look forward to my first ticket, which will enable me to argue the merits of this moronic legislation in Court. John C. Simpson Oak Bay
School sign explained Re: Dale McKenzie’s question about Oak Bay High School’s new sign, (Oak Bay News July 8). The French translation of ‘Oak Bay High School’ is École Secondaire Oak Bay, therefore, in order to avoid unnecessary repetition of ‘Oak Bay,’ the French part of the name must come first. This is a common occurrence; many products made in Canada have labels that utilize this tactic. I hope that your question has been satisfactorily answered. Sofie Finn Storan (age 12) Oak Bay

Residents had their say
Re: “Residents deserve a say,” Oak Bay News, July 3 The only statement correct in “Residents deserve a say” was that council was elected to represent the citizens. The referendum question was simple enough for a fifth grader to understand and was a simple yes/no. Even Mr. Vickers with Amalgamation Yes stated on CFAX that the question was not clear, given the mysterious municipality was not indicated. Duh, Oak Bay could only join with Saanich or Victoria. The province can study and determine the pros and cons of amalgamation. However, I would suggest that Oak Bay would not be interested. It would lose its unique identity, pay higher taxes given its higher average property value compared to other municipalities, and may lose on height restriction. The big issue of saving is not that big an issue relative to the change in character under a larger city. Jim Thomas Victoria

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered. Dr. Neil Paterson
Cosmetic Advantages
Many people choose to wear contact lenses instead of their glasses for the cosmetic advantage. They fit closely to your eyes so that few people notice that you are wearing corrective lenses. However, this is just one of several advantages of wearing contact lenses. Contacts permit a wider field of vision than eyeglasses. There is no frame to get in your line of sight when you look to the left, right, up or down. The close fit presents a less distorted and more realistic view of the world around us. A tendency to allow for more efficient eye coordination is still another advantage, particularly in sports. They do require more conscientious care than glasses, because they must be kept clean, free of irritants and harmful bacteria. If you think you would like to wear contacts, ask your Optometrist if he or she would recommend them for you.

New York’s Fair Trade Trio makes a stop at St. Mary’s Church for an evening concert July 17.
New York trio starts summer serenade Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News
Taking it on the road and reaching out to a local music-lover paid off for three musicians featured in the Oak Bay Music Summer Serenade this weekend. “They were looking to tour in the Victoria, Vancouver and Seattle area,” said Erik Abbink, producer of Summer Serenade. “I’m always interested in visiting groups. It’s one of the pillars of Oak Bay Music, if people want to play I’ll do my best to make that happen.” New York-based Fair Trade Trio makes a stop at St. Mary’s Church for an evening concert July 17 during their tour of the Pacific Northwest. The three founding members of the trio, Ashley Windle on violin, Kallie Ciechomski on viola and Jeanette Stenson on cello, all attended the Manhattan School of Music, and over the past five years their relationships as colleagues and friends culminated into taking their trio on their very first tour.
“They’re a young group for sure. They’re an emerging ensemble,” Abbink said. “The real positive thing about it is just getting themselves known and touring in the first place.” The trio will perform Beethoven, Heitor VillaLobos, Canadian composer Murray Adaskin and New York composer Jennifer Higdon. “I’ve got the idea they adjusted the program a little for us,” Abbink said. “They’ve got a really neat mix of repertoire that people will like.” Oak Bay Summer Serenade is non-profit Oak Bay Music’s special summer concert series, bringing classical music performed by local and visiting performers. Fair Trade Trio makes its Victoria debut at St. Mary’s Church, 1701 Elgin Rd. on Friday, July 17 at 7 p.m. Advance tickets are $20/$15/$10 and are available at Ivy’s Books and online. Tickets at the door are $25/20/10. For more information go to oakbaymusic.ca. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Girls’ and boys’ teams from the Island, the Lower Mainland and the United States storm the University of Victoria’s Wallace Field rugby turf last weekend during the Victoria International 7s Rugby Tournament.
Junior Tide Rugby strikes gold at B.C.s U17 Tide has struck gold at the Provincial Rugby Championships. The U17 category was a new one at the championships this year, and the Tide put in a strong showing against perennial rival Vancouver North, winning 55-5 and 53-0. “The Vancouver North team was a strong team, and against any other team would have been competitive,” said Koji Zolbrod, U17 Tide head coach. “But our U17s are an exceptionally strong group of players, eight of whom have already played at the Canada U17 level. Those boys brought the level of all the athletes up, making for a superb
team dynamic.” A program that brings athletes together from across the lower Island to compete in U18, U17, U16 and U15 provincial championships, the U17 Tide featured 13 players who were students at Oak Bay High School and/or members of the local Castaway-Wanderers Rugby Club. The Tide’s U18 boys finished up in seventh in their division while the Tsunami U18 girls, representing both the south and north island, came home with a silver medal. During the first weekend of provincial competition at Burnaby Lake RFC, the Junior Tide program
returned home with silver for the U15 boys, bronze for the U16 girls and a fifth-place for the U16 boys. The U18 Tide team finished one better than last year, improving their overall play and finishing with a 26-0 win over Thompson-Okanagan. “The U18 level is always a tough year to get commitment from the athletes as they are working and preparing for their first year post-graduation” said Matt Mortenson, U18 Tide head coach. “But this group of athletes showed grit and determination both on and off the field and I was proud to see them finish with a great win.”

Rudi Hoenson stands inside the newly expanded tea room in the Cary Castle Mews at Government House. Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon officially dedicated the tea room as “Rudi’s Tea Room”, in honour of Hoenson’s contributions to the facility.
Drop in for tea at Rudi’s Laura Lavin Black Press
The generosity of a Victoria philanthropist will live on in the newly renamed Rudi’s Tea Room, dedicated by Lt. Gov. Judith Guichon in a ceremony at Government House’s Cary Castle Mews. The tea room is named for Rudi Hoenson, whose donations to the Government House Foundation allowed for a large expansion of the patio to accommodate more patrons and the purchase of a commercial dishwasher. “Rudi’s gift has increased the capacity of the tea room, allowing more visitors to the Government House grounds to enjoy the Cary Castle Mews, learn about this National Historic Site and the history and accomplishments of our province and its people,” said Michael O’Connor, President of
the Government House Foundation. A new exhibit highlighting the service of distinguished British Columbians and complementing the existing historic costume museum and heraldry display was also unveiled. The Cary Castle Mews is a collection of wooden service buildings on the Government House grounds that date to the early 1870s. The tea room is located in Butterworth Cottage and serves lunch, tea, pastries and other refreshments. Originally built as a poultry barn, the cottage was partially adapted as a residence for the head gardener in the 1920s. “(Rudi) has also contributed to new fences for the rose garden, which have allowed the gardens to flourish,” said O’Connor. Staffed primarily by Friends of Government House Gardens Society
volunteers, the Mews has undergone extensive improvements in recent years. The Interpretive Centre adjacent to the Tea Room showcases the history of the Estate of the Lieutenant Governor, a designated National Historic Site, including stories and photos of the people who lived and worked in Government House and on the estate, and the history of the role of the Lieutenant Governor in B.C. In celebration of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee in 2012, the Hon. Steven Point and the Government House Foundation commissioned Chief Hunt to carve a replica of the totem pole. The new Hosaqami stands in front of Government House where it remains in perpetuity. “We are very thankful to Rudi for helping us mark the 150th anniversary of the purchase of the Government House

property by dedicating Rudi’s Tea Room in his honour. His generous giving serves as an inspiration to all,” O’Connor added. Visit the Mews from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., Tuesday to Saturday, from May to September.
