When Christopher Yarrow heads to a car show, he doesn’t pull out a chair and doggedly guard his classic vehicles.
“I don’t ever stay by my car, I don’t worry about it,” he says, spritzing and scrubbing the whitewall of his 1930 Packard parked on Transit Road.
Yarrow doesn’t hover around during shows, and will put a keen kid in the back seat for a photo – despite the rarity of the four-door convertible.
The car’s history is as beautiful as the vehicle, and most of it, in Oak Bay.
Yarrow’s grandfather, Norman Alfred Yarrow of Oak Bay, bought the Packard brand new in 1930.

Oak Bay High student John Fayad brought wrestled for gold twice at the
BC Summer Games recently in Nanaimo. The 17-year-old won top spot in his individual weight division (66kg), and with that win, helped carry the Vancouver Island-Central Coast team to gold.
Fayad’s athletic career started early, when he began going to Zuma gym in Esquimalt at only eight years old.
“We pretty much started a
program for John and some other kids,” said Sarah Kaufman, a UFC fighter who’s worked as an instructor at the gym since it opened. Fayad’s dad, a personal trainer and black belt in judo, wanted something other than the prevalent karate and kenpo classes for his son, said Kaufman. Enter Adam Zugec, a coach with a variety of skills not yet seen very much on the Island.
“Adam was one of the first ones to come in with muay thai, grappling, jiujitsu, wrestling,” said Kaufman.
Half a dozen years later in Grade 8, a high school student introduced Fayad to wrestling, and it took off from there.
Fayad has been at the gym, and under Zugec’s guidance for the last nine years.
“The coaches are really good,” he said. “And (the gym has) the best training partners. You need someone who will push you.”
Fayad, who’s also played rugby, baseball and basketball, said he enjoys the challenge of being on his own in the ring. “I like how it’s one-on-one. It teaches you to be more independent,” he said. “It can be stressful too. It’s only you out there.”
He said competing in the BC Summer Games was “one of the best experiences
(he’s) had,” and it was a challenge too. “There was no one bad there,” he said. And even with two gold medals hanging on his neck, he’s still quick to identify room for improvement.
“I need to get a lot better on the ground. Become a bit more technical.”
No stranger to competition, Fayad’s tested his wrestling skills and strength in matches provincially and for western Canada, but despite his success, he said he’s not sure if a professional wrestling career is in the cards.
“I might try to wrestle after high school,” he said, “but I definitely want
to go to school.” Universities on the Mainland or back east are on the top of his list, and he said he’ll likely study business when he gets there. Academic success is just as important to Fayad, who’s already taken pre-calculus, and plans to continue on with calculus in September as he enters his final year.
Keeping up with workouts four to five times per week, sparring, weights and cross country on top of a busy senior year will no doubt be challenging, but given the discipline he’s shown up until now, he’s sure to be successful.

At nine years old, Victor Lotto was nominated by a teacher for painting lessons at the Art Gallery of Ontario.
“My poor sister had to take me on the street car and wait for me,” he said of his childhood experience. The lessons set off a lifelong passion, and Lotto has carried his brushes with him wherever he’s gone since.
He was a Canadian diplomat for 35 years, and was assigned to Venezuela, the Dominican Republic and Brazil among other places, where he took inspiration from the land- and cityscapes, two of his favourite things to paint, he said.
His work has been exhibited all over the world, including in the Department of Foreign Affairs, the Ottawa School of Art, Hart House and Victoria College at the University of Toronto, Galerie Goodchild in France and many venues here in Victoria.
Lotto still travels regularly, but for the last 20 years he’s been quite happy to call Oak Bay home, and his work reflects it.
“A lot of my work is in Oak Bay within walking distance of home,” he said. “My dog and I visit Cattle Point and Uplands park each day.”
After retiring from the Foreign Service, he was offered a teaching position at the University of Victoria, and it was no hardship to settle into the quiet community of Oak Bay.
“My wife was born in Oak Bay, so we had to come back,” he said with a smile.
Lotto has been actively involved in the local art community since. He is past president of the Victoria Sketch Club, a member of the Community Arts Council of Victoria, and a founding member of the Oak Bay Artists Society.
He recently showcased his talents at the TD Art Gallery Paint-In on Moss St., where he dabbed away at a watercolour work-in-progress in between chatting with the public and reconnecting with old friends. Next on his schedule is the Bowker Creek Brush Up, Aug.10, celebrating its 10th year of connecting Oak Bay artists with local art lovers. Lotto is quite looking forward to it.
“(It) gives me the opportunity to see lots of old friends and to show my work,” he said.
While he paints in acrylic and oil as well, attendees will more than likely see him painting in watercolour at the Brush Up.
“Watercolour is my favourite medium,” he said. “It’s so easy to travel with.”

Get extra bendy with Willows yoga
Angela CowanNews Staff
Despite the cold winds and threatening clouds, yoga dedicates showed up at Willows Beach on a Saturday to improve their practice and to support the ALS Cycle of Hope. Oak Bay Recreation partnered with Kool FM to host a by-donation hour long class with three of Oak Bay’s yoga instructors.
Melissa Krieger, who’s taught yoga for nine years, started off the hour with some gentle stretching before moving into well-known favourites such as cat’s pose and downward dog. With a background in fitness, she said yoga was a much needed change to a slower pace.
Limbered up, Jayne Jonas took over. An instructor in the Iyengar tradition for the last 15 years, Jonas has personally experienced the benefits of yoga, coming to the practice after a neck injury, and she’s seen the mental and physical good it does her students.
“People gain very deep profound personal time with themselves, that they need,” she said.
Finishing up the beachside session was Tommi Boulter, who came to yoga through meditation, something she said normally happens the other way round. She’s been teaching gentle yoga for three years, and said that she tries to show people yoga can be for everybody, no matter their age or body type.
The yoga class was one of a series of 12 by-donation inter-municipal fitness classes sponsored by Kool FM throughout the year, with donations going to various charities.
The ALS Cycle of Hope aims to spread awareness about the disease and raise funds for both ALS BC/Yukon and ALS Canada, said Cindy Lister of the Cycle of Hope Society. Their goal this year is $50,000, with half earmarked to fund an ALS-specific wheelchair for BC patients. Donations are still being accepted.
And for those who missed it and would like to try out a yoga class, free sessions are offered every Tuesday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Willows beach park until Aug. 26.

The ALS Cycle of Hope starts tomorrow. Oak Bay residents Beth Murray and Tybring
Hemphill begin their journey from Kamloops to Keremeos, Aug. 7 raising money and awareness for families living with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS).
They join 10 other riders from around Greater Victoria who have been training since March in preparation for the one-week journey that will see
them ride more than 500 km from Kamloops to Keremeos August 7 to 13.
Also known as Lou Gehrigs’s disease, the crippling motor neuron disease causes muscle weakness, slowing all voluntary muscle movement, causing mobility issues, difficulty swallowing and breathing. The disease is fatal and there is no cure.

The president of the Greater Victoria Teachers’ Association is in “shock” over the B.C. government’s plan to pay parents $40 a day if the teachers’ strike continues into fall.
But Benula Larsen remains hopeful for a resolution to the ongoing labour dispute.
Last week Finance Minister Mike de Jong announced that if the teacher strike isn’t settled by September, the B.C. government will use the payroll savings to pay $40 per missed school day to parents of children under 13.
“What we’ve been expecting is for them to accept mediation,” said Larsen.
The $40 a day is meant to cover the cost of daycare or tutoring for younger children, while the province’s answer for
older students is to use “online options” to maintain their studies.
The amount was chosen to compensate families of 300,000 children up to age 12 in public school at no net cost to the provincial budget. It would be funded by the $12 million a day in salary that teachers would not receive during the strike.
De Jong reiterated that there is no plan to recall the B.C. legislature before a fall session scheduled to begin Oct. 6.
“The Liberal government’s focus should be entirely on getting our schools running again and improving learning for our kids,” said Victoria Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, the NDP’s education critic. “Every penny saved from the school shutdown should stay in our public education system to make that happen.”
BCTF president Jim Iker termed the move “a blatant
and divisive attempt to prolong disruption in B.C. schools” and renewed his call for a mediator to help bridge the differences between the government and the union.
Parents would register online to be eligible for compensation, to be paid by October.
Four weeks remain before classes are scheduled to start and Larsen said she remains hopeful for a resolution.
“I’m a mother as well, and I’d rather my child be back in school in September than receiving child care from the government,” she said. “Hopefully this will force trustees to push the government into a corner.”

YES
Christine van ReeuwykNews staff
Jessica Maitland is a star student leader and avid athlete.
While maintaining above average grades in the A-B range, she finds time for sports and fine arts, to the degree her counsellor at École Lansdowne middle school saw fit to nominate her as a Young Exceptional Star.
Maitland was one of 10 youth to be awarded an Oak Bay YES Award recognizing talented youth in Grades 6 to 10.
“I’ve never heard of a community recognizing kids like this,” said her dad Michael Maitland. “It’s so positive for kids of this age to be recognized for the good they do.”
School counsellor Melinda Budgell said Maitland can be counted on to complete any task she is given and often volunteers to help others.
The Grade 7 student participates in school activities including the French public speaking contest, Concours D’Oratoire, the French Public Speaking Contest. Last year Maitland won the School Project X award for Extreme Kindness. She’s involved in Lansdowne’s leadership, Eco action and Youth Creating Inclusion groups.
Many of those groups she participates in with fellow winner and longtime friend, Leah Smith.
“We did a brick-by-brick campaign to build schools in Africa,” Maitland said, recalling those Grade 5 days at Willows elementary. “It always makes me feel good to help other people when we have so much.”
Maitland also plays flute in the Lansdowne school band; sings in the Grade 7/8 school choir that meets at recess and after school, and plays in the school orchestra.
“I really like choir, I think I get it from my dad, he’s always singing or whistling around the house,” Maitland said.
She has a recorder solo in a favourite piece, Kitsune, that appeared in the school showcase in June.
“At the beginning it’s mysterious and really slow, then halfway through it gets really fast,” she said. By the end the blend is “pretty cool.”
Professing a love of water, in October Maitland added triathlon to her already hefty athletics load that includes school basketball and volleyball teams. Maitland has played Vikes field hockey since she was eight years old.
“My parents do a lot of sports,” she said. “I like how it makes you feel after you’ve practiced – a good sore.”

The B.C. government’s move to ease liquor restrictions is undergoing a hot summer test, and music festivals are only part of it.
Premier Christy Clark’s government loves its populist gestures, and as with increasing rural highway speed limits, the negative effects have yet to be quantified.
Free-range drinking, or removing fences from festival beer gardens, is one of the moves that will be undergoing a post-mortem as communities clean up after their big summer parties.
One of the biggest, the Squamish Valley Music Festival with headline acts Arcade Fire, Bruno Mars and Eminem, is still to come, Aug. 8 to 10. Country fans gathered over the long weekend for Sunfest in the Cowichan Valley, with the Rockin’ River Musicfest in Mission coming up next.
(Another big bash next weekend is Shambhala, the popular electronic music event on a farm near Nelson, but alcohol is officially banned there and their big issue is controlling the effects of “ecstasy” and other rave drugs.)
Early reviews of free-range festivals have been positive. Victoria’s Rock the Shores event went smoothly without a fenced-in area for alcohol sales. Festival organizers did create a fenced “dry” area, but I’m told hardly
anyone used it.Penticton has had its share of
experience with summer bashes gone bad. For B.C. Day it inherited the Boonstock Music and Arts
festival, sent packing from a small community in Alberta after complaints of rowdy crowds and crime, so Penticton officials were understandably cautious.
Boonstock organizers were refused a provincial liquor licence after struggling to arrange security and emergency services. The festival licence process is likely getting renewed attention these days.
After attending the recent Calgary Folk Festival, where the beer garden was securely fenced and the capacity monitored, I’m wondering what is really achieved by these measures. Litter and empties were contained, but since under-aged festival visitors are allowed into the serving area, it’s not clear to me whether the fence was ever worth the effort.
It’s unlikely that there will be riots at farm markets as a result of allowing sales of locally made beer, wine and spirits, or from relaxing rules for operation of winery tasting rooms. But there are more reforms to come.
New regulations are on the way for the Agricultural Land Reserve. As it stands, farms are allowed to have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery
or distillery. Expect that to be changed as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry.
One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs.
The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption.
But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only.
The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of knee-jerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug himself.

Fire ban just a starting point
Last week the Coastal Fire Centre ordered a ban on open burning (including campfires) throughout a region that includes Oak Bay and its surrounding
parks, forests and beaches.The aim is to prevent human-
caused fires from diverting resources from other parts of the province where they are desperately needed.
Currently there are more than a dozen significant fires burning in the province, with some
forcing people from their homes.So far, Vancouver Island has been spared any
major fire. But none of us should be fooled into thinking the forest fire risk is any less serious here.
The campfire and open burning ban is a measure to stem any accidental fires as people continue to enjoy the outdoors. It also bans fireworks, burn barrels and even “tiki torches.”
But it can only go so far.It doesn’t stop the idiots who think a tossed
cigarette will automatically extinguish itself once it leaves the car window. Or the ones who think butting out in a patio flower box, filled with bone-dry material, is a safe option.
British Columbia has too many examples of fires started through such carelessness.
In 2003 the small town of Barriere was destroyed by a fire that originated with one tossed cigarette.
Firefighters are routinely called out to douse bark mulch and grass fires that not only tap resources, but could pose an even greater threat if they get out of control.
There are enough naturally occurring fires every year in B.C. We don’t need to add to that number through negligence and thoughtlessness.

Frustrated with the lack of support she’s received for her son Justin, 18, Cheryl Lingard is taking matters into her own hands, and hopes to open a place for autistic children – and their parents – to find respite.
Lingard has garnered support from other families in her goal to open Safe Place for Our Unique Kids, but she still needs a physical space to host it.
“An old house, a place in need of some TLC, would be best,” Lingard said.
“The kids could learn to cook in the kitchen, learn how to garden in the backyard and be able to hang out with their own kind without having to worry about being picked on. A lot of these kids have to live most of their social life online, because in real life they’re bullied so often.”
Though she hasn’t received any offers for a house, Lingard said that several construction workers have volunteered to fix it up when she does, and an electronics store has offered to donate computers for the kids.
Lingard plans for the home to be open for parents to drop their
children off whenever needed, while other parents volunteer to supervise, as options for special needs kids in Victoria are limited and expensive.
Lingard said that the $6,000 annual allowance she receives to cover Justin’s special needs hasn’t changed in the past 18 years, but it could go a lot further if she had an option like this.
“There’s nothing out here for these kids to get them motivated, to give them purpose in life,” she said. “The Goodwill used to be able to do that, but with the cutbacks the special needs kids are falling through the cracks.”
Lingard said that other parents she’s spoken to are fully behind the idea, and Justin, who mentors younger autistics, is enthusiastic as well.
“He’s already coming up with ideas on stuff they can do with the little ones,” she said.
Lingard is still seeking donations for the Safe Place for Our Unique Kids project and can be reached at 250-590-9071.

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, August 6, 2014 www.oakbaynews.com • A11
It is rare in nature for something to exist that doesn’t have a worthwhile and specific function. For example, a clam’s hard shell helps to protect its soft, fleshy (and tasty) insides from being the next item on the menu – this shell provides a specific function and not having it could be detrimental. Plants and animals can evolve overtime and select special features or adaptations that allow them to better compete and survive in their habitats. Adaptations can come in many ways, such as a behavioural change or physical feature that helps the creature find food, reproduce, survive changes in weather, camouflage or the like.
Like all ecosystems, the marine environment is full of amazing animals that can do fascinating things. Animals throughout the global ocean must face a variety of challenges – like predators, extreme conditions and altering habitats – and have learned to overcome these adversities by adapting cool features that help them survive. I am going to share a handful of the coolest adaptations that can be seen in critters in the Northwest Pacific.
Autotomy is an adaptation that is seen both in the marine ecosystem and on land (e.g. some lizards). Animals that can autotomize parts of their bodies, essentially “drop” a tail, leg or claw that a predator is holding, allowing them time to try and escape. Searching around in tide pools you may have seen crabs very much alive, but with one or more missing legs. Most likely, that crab was being attacked and decided to autotomize, rather than become a seagull snack. Although it does take a fair bit of their energy to grow the limb back, these species can replace their limbs over time.
Another interesting adaptation that can take on many forms is scent. One of my favourite marine animals is the nudibranch, or sea slug, known as the hooded nudibranch.
This delicate, unworldly looking creature has a very cool feature – it smells like watermelon! If you were to find a hooded nudibranch and smell it or the water around it, it gives off a very nostalgic Jolly Rancher-like fragrance. While I love the hard flavourful candies, I cannot imagine these beauties taste too good. This fruity smell is thought to attract their mates, as they cannot see, only sense light and dark.
Desiccation is defined as the state of extreme dryness. Animals situated in the intertidal zone are impacted by the tides. Off the coast of B.C., we experience mixed semi-diurnal tides, or four tides a day (a high tide, a low tide, a low high tide and a high low tide). At different times of year the changes in these tides can be quite substantial. Animals in the intertidal need to protect themselves from the sun and periods when the tide is very low – they don’t want to desiccate or dry out! Some animals hide under rocks or squish themselves into tight crevices where the sun doesn’t shine, while animals like barnacles close up their shells and wait for the tide to come back in.
The pigment-containing and light-reflecting portions of a cell that is primarily responsible for generating skin colour are called chromatophores. Marine animals like the octopus use chromatophores in an extraordinary way; they can rapidly change their skin colour in order to camouflage with their surroundings or communicate with other octopuses. Furthermore, octopuses can change
the texture of their skin and blend in with many different backgrounds. They are the masters of disguise.
Bioluminescence is a very cool and necessary adaptation that occurs from the sea surface to the deep sea. Bioluminescence is a chemical reaction that occurs in an animal’s body to produce a greenish-blue light, allowing animals to communicate in the cool dark waters of the ocean. This phenomenon resembles the twinkling of Christmas lights and has many uses including, being used as a lure to attract prey (e.g.
angler fish), attract mates, communicate with peers and even function as a burglar alarm. The burglar alarm is when the prey starts the bioluminescent reaction to attract the predator’s predator!
There are thousands of amazing and creative adaptations that animals have evolved to outcompete other species and survive in their habitats. The ocean is filled with all sorts of wonderful processes that make the ecosystem function the way it does. The next time you’re at the beach take a look around and see what cool adaptations you can find!

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, August 6, 2014 www.oakbaynews.com • A13
Yarrow never met his grandfather. Norman Yarrow died in London in 1955, years before the younger Yarrow was born – on the front seat of his grandmother Hope Yarrow’s 1957 Lincoln. He was fascinated with the photographs of the Packard that was used largely as a family summer car and carried King George VI and Queen Elizabeth during the first royal visit to Victoria in 1939 (though the family didn’t own it at that time). At 14 he began the true search.
Norman traded the original Packard for a smaller one in 1937 and Yarrow traced it through to enthusiast Art Fulakwa who bought it in 1956. Yarrow connected with Fulakwa and would visit him and the car regularly at his home in Port Coquitlam and then on South Pender Island. In 1985 Yarrow brought his grandfather’s Packard back into the family, storing it at his grandmother’s Uplands home.
“I was 14 and it took me 14 years to get it back,” Yarrow said with a chuckle.
It wasn’t until 2010, when Yarrow moved back to Victoria from northern Canada, that the Packard was restored. Now looking much like it did when his grandfather first drove it home to Oak Bay, on Aug. 10, it will take pride of place in the car’s own hometown show.
“It’s one of the more friendly events. It’s family oriented,” Yarrow says of the annual Oak Bay Collector Car Festival. “It’s the best car show around. You get a different kind of person there. People who are really interested in all makes and models. That’s fun for the hobbyist.”
Along with the 1930 Packard and a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, he plans to bring a 1956 Austin Healy
that’s not yet restored, something that’s welcome at this particular show.
“It’s an open show, meaning anything can come … some of them don’t even (run), they come trailered,” said organizer Ken Agate. “There are 25 shows a month in the summer on the Island. This one is a favourite because the cars are the stars. The variety of vehicles is outstanding. Every year there are cars we’ve never seen before and they come from not too far away. It shows the hobby is alive and well.”
The Avenue will be closed from Monterey Avenue to Mitchell Street and filled with an expected 300 collectible cars for the annual event where an estimated 15,000 people filter through over the day
“We cultivate it to feel like days gone past,” Agate said, adding policemen and firefighters walk the crowds along with
the Victoria AM crew in their old-timey wear. “And people come out dressed for it.”
Those same policemen and firefighters select their own “choice” awards for the ribbons doled out at 3 p.m. by Virtual Elvis, who appears onstage sporadically throughout the day.
“That way (the awards) can’t be fiddled. An obscure car can win and go home with a big ribbon … There’s no feel like that,” Agate says.
As always, there will be a strong showing of English cars as well as colourful hot rods and vintage cars from all eras. The majority of the cars come from local enthusiasts but some come from up island, mainland BC and the United States.
Pre-registration is not required and everyone’s welcome for the $15 fee.
Seeking the hard-to-findChristopher Yarrow loves a good challenge. His current focus is to find the 1957 Lincoln
he was born in – a top-line Premier two-door hardtop in sand beige with a brown and cream leather interior. It was sold privately in the mid-60s to someone in Victoria.
“I’m not giving up,” said Yarrow. “I’m not in love with the car, but the story.”

Tolerance to bright lightIf you wear glasses or contact lenses and have
a low tolerance to bright light, you may want to consider getting properly prescribed sunglasses for your vision comfort. Your eyebrows, eyelids, and iris, which is the coloured part of the eye, offer some protection from sunlight and glare, but if bright or glaring light bothers your eyes, you may need the added protection of sunglasses.
Certain occupations such as outside work or driving may benefit from sunglass protection. Sunlight provides the light we need to see objects clearly, but it also emits two invisible forms of radiation, ultraviolet and infrared rays. A low tolerance to bright light or over-exposure to the rays of the sun may cause minor eye irritation while prolonged exposure may cause more serious problems.
You want to be able to see clearly and comfortably no matter what the light conditions and you also want to protect your eyes. Ask your eye doctor as to which sunglass is the most appropriate for you.

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, August 6, 2014 www.oakbaynews.com • A15
� is year the Mela is two and a half days of free events and performances celebrating the richness and diversity of India’s arts and culture. More than eight thousand visitors and spectators enjoy the Mela ev-ery year and they are thrilled every year by the modern and traditional performances including Bollywood music, internation-ally renowned Bhangra dances, fashion, palmistry, the art of henna and more, not to mention mouth-watering, Indian cui-sine prepared with authentic and aromatic spices!And as Victoria’s premier multicultural event, performers include the internation-ally renowned Chinese Lotus Dancers, powerful Japanese Taiko Drummers, beautiful Polynesian Dancers and exotic Middle Eastern Dancers—and much more.Presented by the 36-year-old India Canada Cultural Association “Mela” means “fair” in the Indian language. “A Mela is an age-old celebration of life in India and it is an opportunity to share the richness of Indian arts & culture, create community partner-ships and demonstrate a healthy way of life,” said Gordy Dodd, President of the Association. Here in Victoria, Mela is a way to continue those traditions, and share and celebrate with the greater Victoria community. “In growing up in India we had places we could go to see and participate in Melas, where people gathered to learn about one another, share food and enjoy art and music. Now we have those places less and less and they are much needed here in
Victoria,” explained Mr. Sehmi, an Indo-Canadian Elder.Part of the Mela’s success is its ability to create cultural pride & bridge generations as well as cultures. “I love to go on the decorated stage in my beautiful clothes and show people watching how I have learned to dance. It makes me feel proud and good when they clap and I think that they like what I am sharing with them,” said one young Bhangra performer.While in the square enjoying the many performances, be sure to leave time to enjoy delicious Indian treats, lunch or din-ner. A full menu of Indian foods, prepared in the authentic way, is available at the co-lourful & numerous food booths, includ-ing butter chicken, naan, vegetable curries, rice, pakoras, samosas, papadam, plus a chai and sweets booth and a barbecued Indian delicacies booth. Browse and learn from the cultural kiosks o� ering Indian arts, clothes, Rajasthani jewellery, henna hand decorations or learn about your future from the ancient art of palm reading. Take a look at the ICCA’s powerful Echoes of Courage: Kom-agata Maru 1914-2014 display that o� ers a look at how far Canada has come in a hundred years in becoming one of the most multi-cultural nations in the world.Various themed performances, from clas-sical to modern, are o� ered from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday and two full days of performances, with local and internation-
ally known artists and entertainment, are planned Aug. 9 (from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) and Aug. 10 (from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.).For more information, visit www.iccavictoria.com ore-mail Mela co-ordinatorsSunil Bhatia @ [email protected] or Sabba Sall @ [email protected]

Bowling over the guests
Angela Cowan photos
A sea of sun hats and snappy slacks dominated the pitch at the Oak Bay Lawn Bowling Club where members played a ‘friendly’ with the visiting Qualicum Beach club, Wednesday, July 30. The weather co-operated beautifully with sunshine, and a gentle breeze to ease the heat.
TOP: Jim Brown, 89, figures he’s the oldest member of the lawn bowling club. ‘It’s a lot more difficult that most people believe,’ he said. We often play six hours of bowling.’ABOVE: A bowls team takes stock of the pitch. ABOVE RIGHT: Harnam Grewal perfects the position of the jack.RIGHT: Garry Anderson, a member of the Oak Bay club for 10 years, lines up his next shot.

A four-unit apartment building donated to Victoria’s Threshold Housing Society will help alleviate the “appalling number” of homeless and at-risk youth across Greater Victoria, says a housing official.
Located in South Jubilee, the $725,000 building will be used as transitional housing for six homeless youth aged 16 to 24.
The number of homeless youth in the region was estimated at 543 in a study conducted by the Community Social Planning Council in 2008.
Threshold received more than 100 referrals last year.
While the donor wished to remain anonymous, said society executive director Mark Muldoon, she had worked with at-risk youth for more than 20 years, and donated the building on the grounds that it be used to house homeless youth.
“At-risk youth are a separate population,” Muldoon said. “They have certain reasons for being on the street, and different barriers for getting off.”
Threshold’s transitional housing operates on a long-term
basis, with residents typically staying for 12 to 18 months.
Along with providing living space, the society also works with youth to provide like-skill training, such as cooking, budgeting and financial literacy.
Muldoon said that due to previous abuse or neglect, many youth have developed a “massive mistrust” of adults, which Threshold aims to repair through counseling and talking circles.
“We put an emphasis on self-esteem, which is the biggest obstacle for homeless youth,” Muldoon said. “The best way to do that is to ensure safety, and make them feel included. Despite some of them claiming hundreds
of friends on Facebook, loneliness is a huge problem.”
Extensive renovations on the building will be carried out by HeroWorks, and is expected to open on Oct. 5.
