REMAX CAMOSUN 7x2
St. Mary’s Church will ring with a day full of music this Saturday.
The New Music Festival brings “fresh off the page” music for chamber ensem-ble to life from 1 to 9 p.m. Feb. 13.
The Victoria Composers Collective, Open Space and Oak Bay Music collaborate to bring an all-day new music festival including three concerts and an art-ist talk.
“We’re pretty excited to bring so much new con-temporary classical music to Oak Bay for a second year in a row,” says Erik Abbink, artistic director of Oak Bay Music.
Two concerts, starting at 1 and 5 p.m., are curated by the Victoria Compos-ers Collective, composed largely of University of Victoria graduate students and alumni. With help from their peers, they’ll premiere their own “fresh off the page” works.
At 3 p.m. flautist-com-poser-improviser Cléo Palacio-Quintin, artist in residence at Open Space, will give a talk and presen-tation.
Finally, the 7:30 p.m. con-cert features well-known new music musicians Chris Reiche and Cathy Fern Lewis and their unique pro-gram Do: Come so we may see, exploring the Frag-ments of Sappho on found instruments, found pitches, and found objects.
Tickets ($20/$10) are available at the McPherson Box Office, Ivy’s Books, at oakbaymusic.ca and at the door.

In a bid to open community dialogue, for-mer Oak Bay councillor Cairine Green asked council to explore options to provide tem-porary and/or transitional housing to Syr-ian refugee families seeking to settle in the municipality.
During last week’s committee of the whole meeting, Green called for a mayor’s task force or leadership team and a municipal staff report to outline what housing options, if any, are available, such as vacant legal in-law accommodation, vacant rental housing and the municipally owned house at 1531 Hampshire Rd.
“If we don’t ask the question of the com-munity we won’t know what the answer is,” Green said. “It could be used as transitional housing.”
The suggestion quickly became about more than hosting Syrian refugee families.
“It’s on everyone’s mind and we’d all like to do our part, we just don’t know how,” said Coun. Michelle Kirby, adding there are concerns in the community, reflected in the official community plan, about a need for affordable housing in general. “This is a big-ger issue and I would not like to see this set aside as a special project.”
Housing should be at the forefront in 2016, she said, not only for refugee families “but the vulnerable people that exist already in our community.”
Coun. Tara Ney agreed Green’s suggestion was innovative.

“The amount of support and willingness to host Syrian families in their community and Greater Victoria is enormous. One of the biggest barriers is housing,” Ney said.
“This could be a wonderful opportunity for our community to do good works,” agreed Coun. Eric Zhelka, adding he’s in favour of moving forward in some capacity with the Hampshire Road home as it’s been “derelict so long.”
During his inaugural speech after the November 2014 election, Mayor Nils Jensen mentioned 1531 Hampshire, suggesting it would see a resolution in the four-year term.
Key is to decide what they should do with the land, as ideas bandied about previously ranged from parking lot to park. The lot was originally purchased for parking. “There’s a myriad of ideas out there,” Jensen said. “Until we have something concrete we’re talking lofty ideas.”
Coun. Kevin Murdoch agreed with Kirby’s asser-tion infill housing and other affordable alternatives are on the agenda for this year.
“I think we’re all in support of finding ways of helping,” he said. “(However) we have to decide if we’re going to turn it into a parking lot or a park … we need to determine the fate of that property.”
Murdoch said it was a challenge to support renovations to the home to bring it up to liveable standards without a clear idea of what’s needed in the way of housing for Syrian refugee families.
“We do have to make a solid decision on that (property),” said Coun. Hazel Braithwaite.
Braithwaite is a member of the Inter-Cultural Association of Greater Victoria that helps indi-viduals and organizations connect across cultures. They currently have 45 people representing all aspects of the community and levels of govern-ment working on both private and government-sponsored Syrian refugee files. Braithwaite later confirmed money to top up rents would be most helpful at this point to help house any refugees.

Resident donates six sculptures to be used as special recognition Jennifer BlythOak Bay News
From the vision and generosity of one man and the artistic talents of another, Oak Bay has a brand new way to say “thank you.”
Inspired by a gift arranged for Oak Bay Volunteer Services’ executive director Joan Halvorsen, Oak Bay’s Bob Carter approached the munici-pality about creating a special gift as a thank you when the occasion warrants.
“They hadn’t had anything that was distinctive to represent the community,” Carter says. “I volun-teered that if they liked (the idea), I would donate the first six.”
A longtime friend of Saanich artist Illarion Gallant, whose sculptures include those at
the Victoria International Air-port, Bastion Square and the Oak Bay Sculpture Walk, Carter approached Oak Bay with the idea of a stainless steel oak leaf design that could be engraved with a message for the recipient.
Consultation with district arborists ensured the right oak design was used and the result is a beautiful stainless steel cre-ation, about 10 inches long in a slightly cupped shape. Carter has the prototype used to create the very first piece for Halvorsen, as well as a distinctive curved piece of steel the leaves were cut from – a piece of art in its own right, says Carter, whose home displays a passion for the arts.
The concept and the donation were very much appreciated, says Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen.
“The community and council appreci-
ate the kind and generous donation of Bob Carter. Not only did he have the artistic vision but he had the kindness to donate six of these and we are very grateful,” Jen-sen says.
The leaves arrived just in time for the first to be presented to longtime staffer Loranne Hilton, who recently left Oak Bay to become CAO at the District of Highlands.
“It is a stunning work of art that is so con-nected to Oak Bay,” Jensen says.
“It was fitting for Loranne as a way for her to remember her time and us to honour her.”
The woman behind the stories of the BC GamesChristine van ReeuwykOak Bay News
When a heart-strings-tugging tale of perseverance and success by a BC Games athlete reaches out to a reader from a newspaper, Lia Threlfall feels a win.
A passion for sport drives the Oak Bay High grad in her role for the last dozen years, seeking
and sharing stories of young ath-letes as communications manager for the BC Games Society.
“I’ve always loved sport and it’s sport and telling stories about sports,” she said. “It is a great job.”
While she calls Victoria home these days (by about a block), Threlfall grew up on Newport, attended Monterey (then an ele-mentary school) before heading for Oak Bay High, and finally down Caddy Bay way to get a kinesiol-ogy degree at the University of Victoria. Throughout her school years she competed in sport, specializing in field hockey and
competing at a provin-cial and varsity level – achieving three national titles with the Vikes.
Threlfall volunteered in press operations during the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Her love of multi-sport events dates as far back as seventh grade when she wrote a report on the Calgary Winter Olympics.
Now she plans and implements commu-nications initiatives, including branding and media relations for the BC Games and Team BC.
She enjoys digging into the stories behind the Games, seeking what drives the young competitors to achieve. For some the Games is a first step toward inter-national acclaim and Olympic competition, for others it’s the pinna-cle. Either way the light on their faces when hard work pays off, is the best reward for the Games staffer.
“For many it’s their Olympics, it’s their first step or for some it’s
as far as they go,” she says. “We’re starting to see kids from the first Games on Olympic teams and doing well internationally.”
More than half of Team BC at the 2015 Canada Winter Games
were BC Games alumni and 18 alumni were part of Team Canada at the 2014 Olympic and Para-lympic Games.
“It’s also just amazing to watch them having the time of their lives at 14 years old.”
The young competi-tors, and their coaches, sleep on foamies on the floor in dorms fashioned from school classrooms and meet fellow athletes at the dance. “It’s a cel-ebration of sport and it is a competition.”
Once in Vernon she discovered a family with three kids competing in the same Games. Watch-ing them rib each other for the camera while the parents watched with pride was a “pretty unique” situation.
And that’s her high-light: “to find those gems and pick them out and have that story shared.”
Threlfall also coaches her two young children and vol-unteers with KidSport Greater Vic-toria, the BC Wheelchair Sports Association and the Oak Bay High School Alumni Association. A
longtime volunteer as well, these Games mark a return for Threlfall, who coached during a Summer Games in Penticton. “It’s a great community and the volunteers up there are fantastic,” she said.
Volunteers are critical in throw-ing a successful event, she said, as the BC Games Society includes 10 staff and a successful event requires 1,500 to 1,800 volunteers.
“That’s the other story that con-tinues to amaze me, the time and energy the community puts in to host.” [email protected]
Passion for sport parlays to dream job Did you know?n More than 1,200 athletes from every corner of the province will compete at the BC Winter Games in Penticton Feb. 25 to 28. n Competing in 17 different sports, the athletes are an average age of 14 and for most it’s their first experience at a multi-sport event. Special Olympians compete in basketball and figure skating and athletes with a disability will compete in wheelchair basketball and para cross country skiing. n More than 300 coaches, 180 officials and 1,800 volunteers will support the athletes and the Games.

Business booming along the Avenue
If there’s any question Oak Bay enjoys a vibrant business community, a look along the Avenue this week should provide the answer.
In addition to recent moves by longstanding businesses like Buddies Toys and Abra-kid-abra, the village has also seen a flurry of new business activity.
Hide + Seek Coffee pours a welcome brew for patrons, while next door, 4 Cats Studio lends an artistic touch to a space locals have been watching with great interest for some time.
We welcomed a chiropractor to Monterey Mews last month in Wholistic Chiropractic and Wellness, while down the road, S & B Windows and Doors helps residents get the look they love for their homes.
One of the biggest additions locals have keenly watched develop is the 6,000-plus-square-foot Red Barn Market on Oak Bay Avenue at Redfern Street.
And if the crowds during their Thursday opening – a day before the store was supposed to throw open its doors – were any indication, the community welcomes its arrival.
The strength and vibrancy of local business relies upon the support of local patrons. Both Red Barn – bringing more than 50 jobs to the community – Buddies Toys and others are key members of Think Local First, which emphasizes the importance of keeping at least some of your dollars here at home.
As a long-standing member of the local business community ourselves, that is something with which we heartily concur.
Beyond that, though, we appreciate the diversity local businesses provide – virtually everything you need in one place, as Oak Bay Business Improvement Association president Liz Smith has said.
And what a different place Oak Bay would be without it.

After 20 years of representing B.C. coastal First Nations to negotiate what U.S.-directed activists labeled the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, a weary Dal-las Smith expressed his relief and frus-tration.
At a ceremony to sign the final agree-ment in Vancouver last week, Smith, president of the Nan-wakolas Council of remote Central Coast communities like Bella Bella, joked that he’s finally out of a job. Then he got serious.
“My communities still aren’t better places to live yet,” he said. But the land use agree-ment with the province and forest companies over a vast coastal area up to the Alaska border means the years ahead will be better.
He said when he started it was like being caught in a divorce between the B.C. forest industry and international environmental groups. Dutch-based Greenpeace, its California offshoot For-estEthics and others moved on from their Clayoquot Sound battle to the B.C. coast, looking to continue the blockades against logging.
“It’s the First Nations of the Coast who stood up and said ‘no, this is how it’s going to work’,” Smith said.
How it’s going to work is that log-ging will continue on 550,000 hectares of coastal forest, with a greater share for First Nations, and with 85 per cent
of the region preserved after a century of logging that began with sailing ships.
Aside from a few diehards who are either paid to protest or can’t get past issuing demands, B.C. aboriginal peo-ple have grown tired of being used as props in global de-marketing campaigns
directed from San Francisco or Amsterdam. The protest-ers’ tactic of organizing cus-tomer boycotts that damage far-away economies might be good for international fund-raising, but it’s bad for poor people.
Formally begun 10 years ago with $30 million from Ottawa, $30 million from B.C. and $60 million from a group of wealthy U.S. family founda-tions with a larger anti-devel-opment agenda, the land use
plan remains under attack.Among the many protest outfits is
Pacific Wild, which has specialized in Great Bear Rainforest campaigns and now needs a new enemy. Their cred-ibility was demonstrated recently when potty-mouthed U.S. pop star Miley Cyrus decided to speak out against B.C.’s wolf kill.
Typical of celebrities, Cyrus had no idea about the struggle to preserve dwindling herds of mountain caribou. She barely knows where B.C. is, a fact made plain when Pacific Wild toured her around the North Coast, far from the Kootenay and South Peace regions
where the wolves in question actually roam.
Cyrus’s handlers spoon-fed video and statements to urban media, who were so anxious to exploit her global popu-larity that they played down the fact she was at the wrong end of the prov-ince spouting nonsense.
After periodically attacking their own B.C. agreement as inadequate, Green-peace and ForestEthics have moved on to what they call the “boreal forest,” which we like to call northern Canada. The same bully tactics with forest prod-ucts customers and producers have been featured.
This time, a Quebec company that signed an accord in 2010 is suing Green-peace for “defamation, malicious false-hood and intentional interference in economic relations.”
Aboriginal companies on the B.C. coast will continue to log, including areas of old-growth forest and sec-ondary growth. They will continue to export logs as economics dictate. They will continue to harvest animals, includ-ing grizzly bears.
And, I expect, they will continue to be subjected to attempts to supervise and direct them by members of urban soci-ety’s new religion, environmentalism.
The leaders of this movement don’t like peace. It’s bad for their business.

FloatersLittle black spots, bugs and spider webs,…
Optometrists hear these descriptions of floaters on a daily basis. What are floaters?
The majority of the eyeball is filled with a jelly-like substance known as vitreous. The vitreous is surrounded by the retina, the thin layer of the eye which contains the light receptor cells. The retina is like the film of a camera and is essential for sight. The vitreous is attached to the retina at a number of points within the eye.
As we age the vitreous tends to condense, shrink and become less transparent. Little globs of dense gel floating around cast small shadows on the back of the eye. Those shadows are what we perceive as floaters. Over time all of us will have some of these floaters. However, not all floaters are this innocent. As the vitreous shrinks it tugs at the retina. This tugging can occasionally tear the retina and subsequently cause a retinal detachment. When a detachment occurs, vision can only be saved by prompt medical intervention to repair and reattach the retina.
If you experience a sudden onset of new floaters, flashes of light, a shadow or curtain in your vision, or a sudden decrease in your vision, seek advice immediately. Don’t wait a few days to see if the symptoms decrease. If the shadow or curtain occurs on a weekend, go to Emergency. Retinal detachment is painless but serious. Your optometrist can help distinguish between normal vitreous changes and situations which require immediate referral to a medical specialist. Routine eye examinations are a great way to maintain good eye health.

Market shines local light on Avenue
Scott Travers, Melissa Hazenboom and Russ Benwell take a short break from opening day bustle at the new Red Barn Market on Oak Bay Avenue Thursday.
Jennifer Blyth /Oak Bay News

Local garlic was on the menu for Red Barn Market’s opening day on the Ave-nue, and that’s just a taste of what’s in store for shoppers.
Despite opening a day early with lit-tle publicity, the aisles were packed with shoppers getting a first look – and taste – of the locally grown store.
“We’ve incorporated an upscale spe-cialty store with the old Red Barn theme,” says Russ Benwell, one of the Red Barn owners, pointing to the vaulted ceilings, wide aisles and heritage photos.“The feedback on the store has been fantastic.”
At a little more than 6,000 square feet, the fifth store in the Red Barn Market fam-ily offers everything shoppers have come to count on, including an exceptional pro-duce section and signature items from
the markets’ smokehouse. There’s the ever-popular sandwich bar
– home to mile-high sandwiches – and an ice-cream counter, plus the fully stocked deli counter, with warm items perfect for a quick lunch on the go, Benwell says.
“People really like the convenience of it being in the community. They also like the local offerings and the fresh produce.”
Melissa Hazenboom, owner-operator with Scott Travers, has been with Red Barn for six years, coming to Oak Bay via the Mattick’s Farm store and West Saan-ich Road. “We’ve had amazing feedback,” she says. “Everyone is pleased we’re here and finally open and looking forward to what we can offer the neighbourhood.”
Hazenboom has built strong relation-ships with local growers – one reason they can offer local garlic in February – something shoppers have come to expect, along with competitive prices,
she says.Following this week’s soft opening, a
chance for the 50-odd staff to get used to the new space, the store invites the com-munity to the grand opening Saturday, Feb. 13, at 10 a.m.
Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen and Victo-ria Mayor Lisa Helps will share ribbon-cutting duties followed by in-store tast-ings, give-aways, music and more.
Hazenboom encourages customers to let staff know if there’s something they’d like to see. “If you have any suggestions, we want to hear it. We’re building from the bottom up so if we’ve missed some-thing, let us know.”
Red Barn Market will be open from 6:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily at 1933 Oak Bay Ave. at Redfern Street next to Home Hardware. For more information visit redbarnmar-ket.ca.

Most people don’t know there are three parts to vision – acuity, functionality and per-ceptional processing – says Anita Murray-Hill.
Murray-Hill, executive director for The Visual Process Society that works to raise aware-ness about vision for learning, will outline the 17 vision skills needed to develop efficient and accurate vision during a free session at the Oak Bay library.
“The Visual Process Society is working on a Vision Care Manage-ment strategy for parents. At the upcoming seminar, we will have a road map for parents for vision care. Included in this package will be questions that parents should ask their optometrist,” said Murray-Hill. “Twenty-five per cent of kids have a significant eye problem that can interfere with development. My daughter was going through all the eye exams. Having 20/20 vision doesn’t mean you have the vision for learning.
“The area my daughter struggled was the functional,” Murray-Hill said.
She’d always thought her daugh-ter Helena was clumsy when she reached for the milk and knocked it over.
“But if you have two glasses, which one do you reach for?” Mur-ray-Hill said.
Helena saw double – binocular vision dysfunction – and it wasn’t something anyone was really on the lookout for. Her mom would like to see more parents prepared for the possibility with her session Feb. 18.
“From a parent’s perspective, what questions should you be asking that optometrist before you make that appointment? I want to make
parents aware of what they should be look-ing out for,” Murray Hill said. “It’s really tips on some of the things that can be picked up on.”
She’ll share her daughter’s experi-ence and things she’s learned along the way, but recently added another professional who happens to be in town that week.
“I’m really excited because it so happens that Linda Lemon, who
has been an educator with 38 years in the Waterloo School District, is coming to town,” Murray-Hill said.
“She specializes in binocular vision dysfunction. Her school dis-trict is the only one in the district that recognizes binocular vision dysfunction as a physical disability,” Murray-Hill said. “The reason the district has said it is a physical dis-ability is because of the work Linda has done.”
Lemon works with the issues reg-ularly and right from the optome-try appointment to arrangement of desks in a classroom, Murray Hill said, and it’s made a difference in graduation rates and student drop-out rates.
That expertise is one reason she hopes to have Lemon speak during the Oak Bay presentation.
“She has provided screening and accommodations for over 4,000 kids in her district,” Murray-Hill said.
“I had the experience as a mom. Linda has the experience of what it’s like in the classroom for kids learn-ing,” she said.
The session runs Feb. 18 from 7 to 8 p.m. in the Oak Bay library meeting room. Register at gvpl.ca or call 250-940-GVPL (4875) for more informa-tion. Learn more about the society at thevisualprocess.com.
Acuity just one element of vision for learningParents invited to learn about sight beyond the 20/20 eye exam Feb. 18
Did you know?n BVD is a condition in which the two eyes are unable to align properly without some (usually subconscious) effort on the part of the sufferer to correct or compensate for this misalignment.n BC Doctors of Optometry recommends children have their first eye exam between six and nine months, at least one eye exam between the ages of two and five, and yearly after starting school.

Looking for a few new books to engage your young reader? These 10 picks have been captivating readers at Oak Bay library.
• 10 Ships That Rocked the World, by Gillian Richardson – This fascinating and fun book from The World of Tens series takes the reader through history and major historical events connected to the 10 featured ships. Find fantastic graph-ics, including photographs, comics and maps.
• Are You Seeing Me? By Darren Groth – An insightful teen novel about the physical and emo-tional journeys we experi-ence in life. It’s a road-trip story about 19-year-old Australian twins Perry and Justine Richter whose mother abandoned them when they were children. Justine has served as the caregiver for Perry, who is on the autism spec-trum, since their father’s death.
• Beautiful Hands, by Kathryn Otoshi & Bret Baumgarten – Little hands can do so many wonderful things: plant ideas; lift spirits; stretch imaginations. This colourful picture book encourages children to use their hands for good and reach for their dreams.
• Brown Girl Dreaming, by Jac-queline Woodson – In this National Book Award Winner, Woodson, one of today’s finest writers, tells the moving story of her childhood in South Carolina and New York, during the civil rights movement, in mes-merizing verse.
• Don’t, by Litsa Trochatos – This clever board book is imaginative, informative and goofy. The bold and colourful illustrations are beautiful and creative.
• El Deafo, by Cece Bell – This fantastic children’s graphic novel tells the story of Cece, who loses her
hearing after being ill with meningi-tis. While her deafness is a struggle, she begins to think of herself as a superhero and uses her powers for the good of others.
• Finding Audrey, by Sophie Kin-sella – The first teen novel by the bestselling author of the Shopaholic series surprised and impressed me with its thoughtful and realistic por-
trayal of a teen struggling with panic and anxiety. Although it deals with a deeper subject matter, it’s also a really fun, sweet por-trayal of adolescence, fam-ily and first love.
• I Really Like Slop! By Mo Willems – Mo Willems seems to get better with time, (which I didn’t think was possible) and his lat-est Elephant & Piggie book is cute, hilarious and heart-
felt, with bold and zany illustrations.• We Are All Made of Molecules,
by Susin Nielsen – Written in alter-nating voices, local author Susin Nielsen deftly explores family trag-edy and family ties, sibling rivalry and union, and adolescent confusion and revelation. Thirteen-year-old Stewart is academically brilliant but “ungifted” socially and 14-year-old Ashley is the undisputed “It” girl of Grade 9. Their worlds collide when their parents fall in love and they become a family.
• Who Done It? By Olivier Tal-lec – This is a charming picture book with a “guess who?” concept that will have kids hunting for clues using their observation skills. The illustra-tions are subtle and adorable.

Call out for unpublished writers to win cash awards
B.C. senior writers are encouraged to sub-mit work for the second annual Cedric Literacy Awards.
Unpublished writers aged 50 and older can sub-mit unpublished works of fiction, creative non-fiction and poetry between Feb. 1 and May 1.
During its inaugural year, Oak Bay poet Susan Braley won the poetry award for her work Immi-
nence of Fracture – inspired by words of British sculptor Barbara Hepworth.
“One of the great effects of this award is we will be better known now,” Braley said. “I want to encourage other writers who are as of yet unpub-lished to keep writing and to take advantage of the Cedric Awards next year. I think it’s a marvellous opportunity.”
Hers was among 168 submissions vying for one of the $3,000 prizes. Learn more about the awards at thecedrics.ca online.

As Oak Bay author D.F. Bailey embarks on his eighth crime novel, he’s open to suggestions on a name for his female vil-
lain. “The contest idea came about because
I was trying to find a better way to engage directly with my readers,” said Don Bailey. “Email is a great one-way broadcast system to communicate with people, but often feedback doesn’t come
back.” To his surprise, the “Name the Lady
Villain” contest caught quick attention and within two days he had dozens of entries. “The villain’s going to be a female so I thought, let’s put it out there. Some (suggestions) are what you might
Oak Bay author invites readers to name his lady villainexpect, like Cruella or Faustina, and I don’t want to be that trans-parent. But there have been some pretty interesting ones,” he said. “A character’s name has to reflect some kind of cultural sensibility. What I’m looking for is a name that suggests darkness in life and I think there are some out there we’re going to find.”
He’s also open to not using one of the suggestions, but figures with the numbers coming in there will likely be a winner – who gets a free copy of one of his books.
Bailey’s first novel came out in 1987 before the proliferation of the internet. “My first three books came out the traditional manner,” he said. They also garnered acclaim, awards and film options (that never came to fruition). Then around 2000 things changed, one publisher went into receiver-ship and the other pared back operations.
“I thought, I’m not going to let the ebook defeat me,” he said.
Within two weeks the author was smitten with the e-reader he’d purchased. “I realized this little thing that fit in the palm of my hand could access pretty much any book that had ever been writ-ten,” he said. “It’s a total revolution in the way books are written, read, sold and so on.”
His last four novels have all been ebooks. The last three, Bone Maker, Stone Eater and Lone Hunter, comprise the Finch Trilogy, which came out in December. As he embarked on his fourth book in the Finch series, he embraced the side benefit of the internet – interaction with his audi-ence – which grew into the current contest.
“Before, when I was strictly print, I had very little interaction with people who read my stuff. Now I get email and people post reviews on Ama-zon frequently. The writer-reader relationship is so much closer in the digital era than it was in the print era,” he said.
He plans to bring all seven books into hard copy this year and make them available on Ama-zon. Download the first book in his second crime series, Bone Maker for free at dfbailey.com.
Feb. 14 is the deadline to email suggestions to [email protected] to name the female antagonist.

When it comes to musical genres, The Paperboys aren’t defined by just one.
The eclectic Vancou-ver eight-piece – which is set to perform at the Farquhar Audito-rium Feb. 13 – draws on a variety of musical styles and throws them into one big melting pot. The recipe starts with some Irish jigs, throws in some African Highlife, adds a bit of Latin favour and south-ern bluegrass, and simmers into a unique, globally diverse sound.
“Most bands you go see have one defined sound – there’s not a lot of varia-tion within that sound,” founder Tom Landa said. “That’s what most people expect. I think it takes people by surprise because it’s just differ-ent than what they’re used to and there’s so much variety that you can’t help but to notice it.”
But the genre-defying group didn’t always make such multifac-eted music. The Paper-boys started in the mid ’90s as a folk group, but evolved naturally to its current, hard-to-pin-down sound.
“The focus of the band at that point in time was to play folk rock music with a Celtic edge to it,” said Landa. “Little by little, we started incorporat-ing different elements and genres to the mix. We started adding some ska, some East-ern European stuff, and eventually we started adding the Latin side of things. “It’s a hard band to describe, apparently, because we touch on a lot of musi-cal territory.”
The Paperboys’ mul-ticultural music has earned them critical acclaim, including a Juno for their third stu-dio effort Molinos and two West Coast Music Awards for Best Roots Recording. They have also received an Ameri-can Indie nomination and a Genie Award nomination for Best Musical Score for the 2001 romantic comedy Lunch with Charles.
But Landa and his bandmates have

remained humble over the years, not-
ing there’s more to their music than awards and industry recogni-tion.
“At the end of the day, it’s not really what guides us or what motivates
us,” he said. “We some-times feel more sense of accomplishment by receiving a letter or
email from a fan who is writing to tell me this song got them through a really hard time in their life, or this par-ticular song was their soundtrack to their summer of 2003.
“Success, in my eyes, is being able to connect with people in a deeper kind of way. That is by far the biggest reward.”
In concert, the bilin-gual band averages more than 150 shows per year, both as head-lining acts at local venues and as part of some popular festi-vals. Their audience
is as diverse as their music, meaning they’ll fit in with the Farquhar Auditorium’s university crowd.
“We’re not too old that they don’t relate to us anymore,” said Landa with a laugh. “I think our demographic has changed over the years – we play to an older-than-we-used-to-be crowd, but we still have college age people coming out to our shows.
“I think it really crosses generations and genres, even within the band. Our

For those who won-der what happens to the half-used soap and shampoo products in local hotels, the Rotary Club of Oak Bay has an answer.
The club received a Telus Disaster Aid Can-ada Community Grant recently for its Soap for Hope program.
“When an organi-zation such as Telus recognizes the value and impact of what we are doing in our com-munity, it reinforces that the Soap for Hope program is making a meaningful difference in the lives of others,” says Rotary’s Anne McIntyre.
Soap for Hope acquires soap and soap products from Island hotels.
The soap is then reprocessed and used to supply area shel-ters and international projects with hygiene products.
The program teaches elementary and middle school stu-dents how some peo-ple in the world do not have soap – something we take for granted that saves lives.
Students do a “soap squeeze,” filling one-litre bottles with sham-poo (it takes 58 partly used hotel sized sham-poo bottles to fill a one-litre container).
“It is a win-win,” says McIntyre.
“We are preventing these products from clogging up our land-fills, creating volun-teer opportunities for a wide range of ages (to date, from Kin-dergarten to 85 year
Rotary soap program saves lives
olds), and providing a product that improves the overall health and well-being of the most vulnerable members of our community. Soap saves lives.”[email protected]

Oak Bay’s guide to maintaining the mind, body and soul
Choosing the right yoga class can be dif-� cult. Which one best suits you?
The Iyengar Yoga Centre of Victoria, at 919 Fort St., above the Blue Fox Café, offers classes seven days a week, for every age and every body. The Centre celebrated its 13th an-niversary on Fort Street in 2015.
What does the Iyengar method offer? “Yoga is for all of us! No one is too old, too young or too stiff,” says Shirley Daventry French, founding member at the Centre. “Iyengar Yoga is fun and challenging and can be viewed as the great equalizer among yoga styles offered today,” says Shirley, respected in Victoria and world-wide for her teaching.
Who is BKS Iyengar? Time magazine attributed the popularity of yoga in the
West in large part to Iyengar, who � rst introduced his style of yoga to North America more than 50 years ago. The 95-year-old master lived in Pune, India, and practised many hours a day until his death in 2014. Victoria teachers travel regularly to India to study from Iyengar’s children.
What will Iyengar Yoga do for you? “The effects of yoga practice are beauty, strength, clarity of speech, calmness of the nerves, increase in digestive powers and a happy disposition that is revealed in a smiling face,” says BKS Iyengar.
“In Canada, Iyengar Yoga teacher training requires a minimum of three years for an introductory teacher,” says Wendy Boyer, general manager and teacher at the Iyengar
Yoga Centre. “You are in good hands with Iyengar teach-ers who teach a progression of poses to boost mobility, stability, strength and stamina. We have a well-developed eye!” she says.
The Iyengar Yoga Centre runs about 50 classes a week, including Beginner to Advanced; Pre-natal; Family; 50+; Gentle; Special Needs; and Restorative.
The � rst class is on us – give us a call or visit www.iyengaryogacentre.ca to check out the many regular classes we offer seven days a week, and choose the one you want to try. We look forward to seeing you!
