ArtsAlive expands Oak Bay public art opportunities Oak Bay to be year-round gallery as sculpture walk grows Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Oak Bay arts laureate Barbara Adams’ permanent art walk plan sets the legacy of Oak Bay as a community art gallery. A total 10 permanent works are to dot the landscape by spring through ArtsAlive, Oak Bay’s new public art initiative. For two summers, Oak Bay enjoyed an artwork-onloan program and it recently purchased artist Chris Paul’s Salish Sea, adjacent to Oak Bay Marina. That purchase, and a recent donation by Oak Bay Marine Group, grounded the first part of Adams’ grand scheme to create public art spaces around the community. A year-round showcase and ongoing municipal art purchases are a next logical step. “If you look at the response to the Salish Sea, it’s become iconic,” Adams said. “It’s really going to put the community on the map. I’m really looking to make sure this first year works.” Twenty-eight selected sculpture sites are scattered throughout the community, with 10 in high-traffic areas. Those 10 would feature sponsored artwork on a yearly basis with purchased work moving to one of the other sites, spreading art through the neighbourhoods. “Now I’m trying to make this happen and to make it happen we’ve got to all step up to the plate,” said Adams, in her third year as arts laureate.

Oak Bay Marine Group COO Brook Castelsky (front left) and Susan Barcham, director of corporate affairs and communications, (front right) present Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen, Oak Bay Arts Laureate Barbara Adams and Coun. Hazel Braithwaite with a $10,000 donation to complete the vision of an arts space, for performance or gathering adjacent to the Salish Sea sculpture at Turkey Head.

Oak Bay News file photo

Nathan Scott’s A Lazy Day sculpture was one of 11 dotted about Oak Bay village last summer.

10 sponsors sought for area sculptures Continued from Page A1

“I’m trying to make sponsorship a win-win.” The plan is for five sculptures in Oak Bay Village and two in Estevan Village, one near Pure Vanilla and two between. “The goal is 10 so it makes a significant presence,” Adams said. “So it really makes a splash and is a draw for Oak Bay.” She hopes to have 10 sponsors by early February. Sponsorship is $1,500 – $1,000 for a chosen artist’s honorarium to cover costs of producing the piece and up to $500 for transportation costs for the art and artist to come to Oak Bay. Adams plans to have the art walk included in the Tourism Victoria map this summer. To select a potential municipal purchase through its Public Art Fund, “sculpture walk goers can vote a most-popular work. “Our hope is the public vote, and should the funds be available, purchase an artwork a year,” said Janet Barclay, manager of recreation and culture, during the Jan. 18 committee meeting where council perused the Parks, Recreation and Culture plan. “We have some money in the Public Art Fund.” Visit oakbay.ca/parks-recreation/plannedgiving/public-art-fund to learn more about the fund. The ArtsAlive official launch is June 1 at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. To sponsor a work, email barbaraadams@ shaw.ca or call 250-592-9681 before Feb. 15. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Marina aids Salish Sea performance space Funds to build come from adjacent business Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Turkey Head could mark the cornerstone of a series of arts spaces connected throughout the community. Now in her third year, Arts Laureate Barbara Adams’ vision grew exponentially each summer, starting in 2014 with six art installations – three sculptures on loan and three painted pianos. Last summer, sculptures spread through the community and four painted pianos dotted the landscape; 2015 finished with the purchase of Oak Bay’s first piece of fine art – the Salish Sea sculpture. Oak Bay Marine Group donated the $10,000 required to develop the Turkey

Head space surrounding the Salish Sea sculpture. “The arts have long been a part of the culture of our company,” said Brook Castelsky, chief operating officer. For example, Bob Wright, the founder of Oak Bay Marine Group who died in 2013, created their renowned Painter’s at Painters Lodge arts event in Campbell River. “We’re happy to continue to build on the work done by Arts Laureate Barbara Adams,” Castelsky said. “The work she’s done has added significantly to the community.” That performance space provides a foundation for Adams’ vision of community art spaces, an area open for performing or visual arts and demonstrations, throughout the community, perhaps connected by a series of permanent art installations. “It basically brings the (Salish Sea) project to completion,” said Susan Bar-

cham, director of corporate affairs and communications for Oak Bay Marine Group. A gathering space would harken back to the history of the Oak Bay Boathouse, Barcham said, recalling Wright sharing stories of the old boathouse where people would come and pay a quarter for coffee and sit around telling tales or catching up with neighbours. They’d like to strengthen those roots. “We want Oak Bay Marina to be a gathering place,” Barcham said. “This only continues to to move into that direction of a gathering place or communityminded marina.” Turkey Head already has a significant draw of walkers, joggers and those who sit and enjoy the view on the many memorial benches, Castelsky said. “To be able to finish this performance and seating area will add a new element to Turkey Head.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Island solution for kitchen scraps Regional processing still an option for future

Uplands Combined Sewer Separation Project Council is hosting a special Committee of the Whole meeting dedicated to the Uplands Combined Sewer Separation Project

Christine van Reeuwyk

Tuesday February 2, 2016

Oak Bay News

Kitchen scraps previously hauled off-Island are getting a more local treatment this spring. In December, the Capital Regional District board asked staff to issue a tender for a twoyear kitchen scraps hauling and processing contract, with no guaranteed minimum volume and an ability to direct materials to a processing facility owned or leased by the CRD. “I am pleased this new contract will result in cost savings while maintaining the effective delivery of services to the residents of our region,” said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, chair of the CRD board. The board awarded D.L. Bins Ltd. the hauling and processing of kitchen scraps. It was the most competitive tender. The contract runs March 1, 2016 to Feb. 28, 2018, at a rate for 2016 of $114.50/tonne – an estimated annual savings of approximately $250,000 over the previous kitchen scraps contract. Annual contract costs are projected to be up to $1,145,000 per year with tipping fee revenue expected to cover 96 per cent of the hauling and processing costs. “I’m really glad we went back and re-tendered this because we saved a lot of money,” said Lang-

Oak Bay Coun. Michelle Kirby expressed hope in March that the CRD would continue looking for local solutions for processing organic waste, rather than shipping it to the Mainland. ford Coun. Denise Blackwell during the CRD meeting where the contract was approved. D.L Bins Ltd. has identified Enviro-Smart Organics in Delta and Fisher Road Recycling in Cobble Hill as their main processing subcontractors. “I’m very concerned that we continue to remove kitchen scraps from the region,” said North Saanich Mayor Alice Finall. She suggested adding a timeline – subject to staff providing on or before Jan. 2017 options for an in-region processing project. She was assured by staff it doesn’t preclude shifting to geographically closer processing, should for example, the wastewater treatment project

provide an opportunity. A staff report suggested information on options for an in-region kitchen scraps processing pilot will be forthcoming. A landfill ban on kitchen scraps was implemented in the region last January and the CRD provides haulers the option to deposit source separate kitchen scraps at its Hartland transfer station for subsequent transfer off-site for composting and marketing. Kitchen scraps currently at Hartland are hauled to Richmond. The CRD estimates over 40,000 tonnes of kitchen scraps have been diverted from Hartland landfill since 2007. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Oak Bay residents are invited to attend this special project update to share views, ideas, concerns and support in relation to six options that are being considered to separate the existing combined sanitary and stormwater sewer in the 465 acre (190 hectare) Uplands subdivision. A comprehensive staff report will be available on the District website on January 27 along with project materials presented at the Open Houses held in November and December. www.oakbay.ca The public is welcome to submit correspondence for inclusion on the agenda to Acting Director of Corporate Services mjones@oakbay.ca Deadline for submissions is 3:00 pm on February 2, 2016

About the Uplands Combined Sewer Separation Project: The provincial government through its Municipal Wastewater Regulation requires all B.C. communities that have single pipe infrastructure to take the appropriate action to separate stormwater flow from sanitary sewage flow. Compliance is mandatory.

OUR VIEW

Donation recognizes the arts’ contribution to our community We have written before about the impact of the arts on this community, both from a financial perspective and in creating a place we live in and enjoy. We commended Oak Bay council when they allocated a portion of surplus Parks, Recreation and Culture funds to purchase the district’s first piece of public art, Chris Paul’s Salish Sea, standing at Turkey Head, near the Oak Bay Marina. However, as mayor and council wrestle with municipal costs amid calls by some residents for restraint, we know a significant public art program can’t be completely funded from municipal coffers. To that end, we applaud Oak Bay Marine Group for stepping up this week with a $10,000 donation to fund the performance space at the sculpture, bringing to fruition Oak Bay Arts Laureate Barbara Adams’ vision for the site. Noting the company’s longstanding involvement with the arts, the donation also underlines the Oak Bay Marina’s prominent position along the waterfront and as part of the community. “We want Oak Bay Marina to be a gathering place...This only continues to move into that direction of a gathering place of community-minded marina,” says Susan Barcham, Oak Bay Marine Group’s director of corporate affairs and communications. Adams deserves kudos for her tireless efforts to put Oak Bay on the map as a destination for the arts. Building on the public art events of the last few years, and this recent success surrounding the Salish Sea, Adams now seeks sponsorships from area groups and businesses to help fulfil a vision of a year-long sculpture program. Such a program stands to benefit residents and businesses alike and we look forward to its continued growth. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@oakbaynews.com.

Keep sending your deer photos for study A big thank you to the many residents of Oak Bay who have sent in photos of deer seen within our community. These images are a valuable contribution to our program to determine the number of deer residing in the municipality. Along with scientifically designed roadside counts, which will be repeated seasonally, the photo inventory will provide information on trends in numbers and movement patterns. For instance, we know that bucks tend to wander greater distances than does, and with the help of your photos we hope to determine which individuals stay within Oak Bay and which may wander into Saanich, Victoria or even further afield.

We’re encouraged by the number of photos received so far and ask that you continue to provide more. Digital images, along with the date and location of each photo, can be sent to brgates@shaw.ca. Right now, we’re particularly interested in the bucks while they still have their antlers. They’ll shed those antlers within the next few weeks, which will add to the challenge of positive identification. Even the shed antlers can help us. If you find a shed antler, please contact the above email. We may be able to determine which individual buck dropped the antler, and therefore can log its location at that time. You can then keep the antler if you wish. Zoomed-in images of the

deer’s head, face toward camera, are best. However, we urge you to keep a safe distance so as not to stress the deer. Be cautious if you’re near a roadway, and it’s best not to attempt photos if you are with a dog. We look forward to continued submissions, and thank all contributors for your involvement. Bryan Gates, president, Urban Wildlife Stewardship Society

Soup kitchen kudos for Cobs Bread Welcome back Cobs Bread! After a three-week renovation closure, many Oak Bay residents will be relieved to see Cobs open its doors once again this week. We, the board of

directors of the 9-10 Soup Kitchen, join you in welcoming Cobs back to business. The 9-10 Soup Kitchen serves home-made soup from the basement of St. Andrew’s Roman Catholic Cathedral weekdays to anyone in need of a hot meal. Along with that soup our volunteers serve bread and baking provided by generous businesses such as Cobs Bread. After many years of receiving donated baked goods from Cobs Oak Bay, this short shut-down has served as a reminder of how fortunate we are to be supported by such businesses. Welcome back Cobs and thank you for all you do. Board of directors, 9-10 Soup Kitchen

OAK OAK BAY BAY NEWS NEWS -- Friday, Friday, January January 22, 22, 2016 2016

Students opt to fund Tour de Rock campaign Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

The 2016 Cops for Cancer campaign at Oak Bay High has a head start thanks to a donation by the Oak Bay Police Department. Police had a car kicking around that was “obtained by Oak Bay Police Department during an investigation,” said police chief Andy Brinton. That was more than a decade ago and it’s been in storage since. “It’s no longer needed, there’s no investigative value in it anymore,” Brinton said. With little as-is value, it wasn’t worth the paperwork or time required for the department to sell the car. “One of our members came up with the idea that Oak Bay High might be able to use it as a project, an educational opportunity,” Brinton said. Oak Bay Police left it to the students to choose a program or charity for any funds raised to benefit. It didn’t take long for students to decide. “It’ll finally get some good use out of it. It just needs a little bit of love,” said Jacob Macauley, one of Oak Bay High’s three 2015 Cops for Cancer campaign leaders on hand last week to kick the tires. “It’s going to be fixed up by our autoshop,” said Jessica Izard. They plan to leave it to the 2016 team to sort out the details of how best to use the vehicle, such as a raffle. “This is the first big item we’ve had,” said Darragh Storey. This year the Cops for Cancer team and Oak Bay Nation, the term they use to describe the student population and the wider community associated with the school, raised $42,501 for the Canadian Cancer Society fundraiser Tour de Rock, the Cops for Cancer fundraiser where officers bike the length of the Island supports cancer research and Camp Goodtimes. cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Oak Bay News

The Oak Bay Beach Hotel will be all a-glitter this weekend as Double Diamond opens at the David Foster Foundation Theatre. A tribute to music icon Neil Diamond, the show features nearly twodozen hits performed by local musician Bill Zaalberg, who has perfected the role since 2001. He’s been a musician for much longer, though, and brings those skills to the stage throughout the dinner theatre run at the local hotel, playing weekends through Feb. 20. “I’ve been playing music and guitar since I was 17 and I’m 72 now,” he says with smile. A full-time musician since 1975, Zaalberg performed in a number of bands before launching Double Diamond. The timbre of his voice easily matched Diamond’s and audience members often remarked how alike they sounded, he recalls. The show proved a hit and he and his musicians hit he road beginning in 2001, playing numerous sold-out theatre shows. “It was very well-received,” he says. From a personal perspective, “I totally related to it. It’s usually very simple music and he’s remained consistent through the ages.” Submitted photo After taking a break for a few years, Bill Zaalberg performs as Neil Diamond at the Oak Bay Zaalberg is back at it, performing Beach Hotel, weekends through Feb. 20. with daughter-in-law Kathleen Zaalberg.

A chill wind blew snow outside but inside the huge Cobo Hall conference centre, a great deal of hot air accompanied every new model announced. Dozens of new cars and trucks are revealed to applause and some gasps though not nearly as loudly as in the old days before the internet. Now “sneak peeks” cut surprises to the minimum. Nevertheless, it’s still the hottest place to be for the auto world despite the frigid conditions outside.

Space limitations prevent us from parading the dozens of vehicles revealed over the twoday official preview, so here’s just a taste of what caught our eye on the show floor – detailed specs and prices are months away in many cases.

The all-new Ford F-150 Raptor SuperCrew adds room for passengers and gear, in what the manufacturer boasts “expanding choice and versatility in the toughest, smartest, most capable F-150 Raptor ever.” See what I mean about hyperbole-charged hot air? In the real world, the Raptor will do its own talking. It has an all-new 3.5-litre EcoBoost, all-new 10-speed transmission and torqueon-demand transfer case, making it more powerful yet efficient and easy to drive off-road. We thought the Chrysler Pacifica crossover would simply leave the world’s stage, a little embarrassed about ever seeing the light of day. Nothing wrong with it other than it’s just a ho-hum kind of vehicle. But there it was/they were on the Detroit stage: the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica and Pacifica Hybrid, designed to “revolutionize the minivan segment with nearly 40 new minivan firsts.” (It’s now a minivan). It offers more than 100 standard and available safety and security features, including 360-degree Surround View camera, ParkSense Parallel/Perpendicular Park Assist, Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Hold and Forward Collision Warning-Plus. Okay, we’ll buy that for now. Looks good and promises much in performance and utility. (Please note carmakers would like us to describe optional extras that cost extra as “available features.” Ahem, call us old fashioned but we’ll stick with the “options” option from here on in.)

Go SoBER. Go DoNATE. Dry Jan is a 31-day challenge where participants

Honda unveiled the all-new 2017 Ridgeline truck promising “superior on-road performance – with the segment’s best handling, ride quality, cabin quietness and all-weather traction capabilities.” Frankly, it’s in tough in a tough market full of tough successful domestic and import competitors. A round of applause for KIA, the Korean company that continues to challenge its big brother Hyundai and indeed the rest of the market with interesting concepts and production cars. The Telluride concept is its take on a premium large sport utility vehicle, featuring three-rows of seating for seven passengers. Notable are the front doors and rear-hinged back doors that swing open 90 degrees in opposing directions. Speaking of Hyundai, it unveiled its G90 premium luxury sedan for the new Genesis brand. Don’t snicker, these guys know what they are doing . . . now. Five additional Genesis models are planned for launch within the next five years. The first ever BMW M2 is the entry-level model to the brands renowned M performance line-up. It will feature a newly developed M TwinPower Turbo technology 3-litre, 6-cylinder engine producing 365 hp, capable of soaring to 100 klicks in around 4.2 seconds. The Lexus LC500 is mighty purty. The premium Japanese brand has teased us with its LF-LC Concepts, now we have a production 2+2 coupe. Its allaluminum, 32-valve V8’s output is expected to generate 467 hp, using a newly developed 10-speed automatic transmission. The Acura Precision Concept model made its world debut and these eyes reckons it’s even more purty than the Lexus. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Tennis Classic victors crowned Christine van Reeuwyk Oak Bay News

Determination, patience and hard work led to a series of leaders in the final leg of the Tennis Classic at Oak Bay Rec. “It had some very exciting matches,” said Simon Vickers, tennis program supervisor for Recreation Oak Bay. “What I loved about the tournament is it wasn’t just about the matches. It was about … determination and patience. Making it to the finals doesn’t happen overnight.” The adult portion that wrapped Sunday, Jan. 17 finished the Classic that started Dec. 28 with the youth tournament and saw the mixed doubles in between. “I showed up early and was out there late and there were people training for their matches. That is what a tournament is about,” Vickers said. “A tournament is a bit more intense versus just social play. It kept me energized because it was such a long tournament.” “That’s why it meant so much to every person that was in the finals. They’ve arrived at this moment where they’re competing to be the top in their class.”

Current market means prep is key for buyers With limited inventory, those looking to buy in Oak Bay should have their ‘ducks in a row’ before starting their search.

From your realtor, insurance and financial details to your lawyer, home inspector and contractor, having everyone ready to go is essential to homebuying success in the current market, says Oak Bay realtor Cassie Kangas.

Jennifer Blyth Oak Bay News

With limited homes on the market and the number of peopl wanting to buy, preparation is an essential first step for prospective Oak Bay homebuyers. “It’s a tough market for buyers. I think inventory has been low all of last year and it just seems to be getting lower,” says Oak Bay realtor Cassie Kangas. Coming off the holidays, however, “we should see an uptick now,” she adds. “I think the biggest thing is buyers need to be really prepared. If you really want to get a house in this market, you need to have yourself ready to do so,” Kangas says. That begins with finding a realtor you can work well with, who not only understands the market where you want to buy, but also your needs and wants, and who can prepare you for the process of finding and buying your new home. “It means having a really frank conversation with your realtor so you understand what the expectation is,” she says. It’s also important to have a realtor who actively watches for new listings as they come available; by the time a property shows up on realtor.ca, where prospective homebuyers can see it, everyone else has see it too, Kangas notes. “Things are happening really quickly so you need to have a realtor who is really pro-active about finding it.”

With that in mind, you’ll want to have “chosen a good lawyer who specializes in real estate,” Kangas notes. And because Oak Bay properties are often older, a qualified, experienced home inspector is essential. It’s also a good idea to have a contractor available who can provide renovation estimates to help you decide if this is the right home. Some of those same issues that might arise in a home inspection can also prove challenging for some insurance providers, like asbestos or the old knob and tube wiring common in many older Oak Bay homes. “Now they will ask a lot more questions about the age and what’s in the house,” Kangas says. Having those discussions ahead of time can help you prepare for options should the need arise. “If you don’t have all these people in your network, your realtor should be able to help.” editor@oakbaynews.com
