Nearly 400 years after his death, the work of William Shakespeare remains among the most

dissected, debated and recognizable prose in the English language. Victoria alone hosts Shakespeare in the Park and Shakespeare by the Sea and now Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage. The words of the Bard are never far from the lips of this city’s actors.

But a number of his greatest plays – Macbeth, for one, The Tempest, for another – would have been lost forever if they hadn't been collected and published in 1623 in what is now called the First Folio.

An original copy of the First Folio and the equally intriguing Second, Third

and Fourth folios, are now on public display in the University of Victoria Legacy Art Gallery on Yates Street. Shakespeare's “Big Books” are part of the Shakespeare Onstage-Offstage celebration.

Considered one of the most important printed books in the English language, the folios are housed in individual climate controlled display cases on loan from the Royal B.C. Museum. The Legacy Art Gallery hired a structural engineer to make sure the

exceptionally heavy cases didn't fall through the floor.

Fittingly, the First Folio is opened to a page with an iconic image of Shakespeare himself, originally etched as a woodcut portrait by someone who probably knew him personally, said UVic English professor Erin Kelly, who with professor Janelle Jenstad, curated the exhibit.

Prior to the folio, Shakespeare's plays had been printed on pamphlets, or not at all. A few years after Shakespeare died, two actors from his theatre company brought together the material, and had it printed as a large format “folio” – an expensive endeavour and reserved for the most important texts, such as Bibles.

The book that saved Macbeth

Edward Hill/News staff

University of Victoria English professor Erin Kelly sits next to ‘Shakespeares Comedies, Histories and Tragedies,’ better known as the First Folio, a book printed in 1623 and which became the only printed text of such plays as Macbeth and The Tempest. The collection of four original Shakespeare Folios are on display at the Legacy Art Gallery in downtown Victoria until Oct. 23.

Oak Bay is ready to introduce its new chief administrative officer, as a nation-wide executive search process has named Helen Koning as the new hire.

Koning, who served as interim CAO with the Town of Princeton, is also the principal of Koning Consulting – a group which provides specialized services for government clients across B.C. Koning will be taking her new seat Nov. 4, as she replaces Gary Nason who has been serving as interim Chief Administrative Officer since mid-March.

Though Koning has an array of past experience, including assignments as CAO and Corporate Officer for five municipalities, as well as the Skeena Queen Charlotte Regional District, she’s no stranger to Victoria.

Koning is a graduate of the University of Victoria with a Bachelors of Social Work and a Masters in Public Administration.

“We’re very excited to have Helen as our CAO,” said Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen. “She will offer a fresh energy and new perspective to the role, and she’s a good fit for Oak Bay. That doesn’t mean it was an easy choice – there were a lot of good candidates, but we’re really looking forward to her joining us.”

Since 1906, Oak Bay has had a CAO who is responsible for administrative management and is one of the highest ranking members of the district.

Previous to starting her local government career in 2001, Koning held various positions with the Port Alberni Home Support Association and positions with the B.C. Ministry of Health and the Central Vancouver Island Health Region. She also holds a senior certificate in local government statutory administration from the Provincial Board of Examiners.

History and heritage go hand in hand for Oak Bay resident Ben Clinton-Baker.

The former UVic history grad student spent this

past summer compiling information for a histori-cal walking tour of Oak Bay, a project that took him back through the streets where he grew up.

“I think it’s such a beautiful part of the world,” remarked Clinton-Baker. “Part of the route of the tour is actually my old path to school – I grew

up near the Oak Bay Village, and I used to walk from there down to Glenlyon School.”

Clinton-Baker says he remembers walk-ing down the streets, through the then-empty lots, and being transfixed by the natu-ral beauty of the land-scape with its over-grown oak trees. He especially remembers an old carriage house on one of the lots between York Place and Prospect Place.

“My friend and I used to cut through this empty lot, and we used to go and look around it and pre-tend it was haunted,” he said. “Then, more recently, I’ve become more interested in his-tory and when I stud-ied the local history, I found out it’s one of the oldest build-ings in Oak Bay.”

It was Clinton-Baker’s interest in the history of the area that led him to volunteer with the municipality’s Heritage Commission, which in turn led him to offer his help in putting together a walking tour destined to provide visitors and residents with an informative, optional way of see-ing Oak Bay.

The colour brochure features a

map of the route, archival photos of the last 100 years, as well as a brief historical description broken down into four categories: the village, the Bay of Oaks, the waterfront, and Vic-torian architect Francis Rattenbury.

Circled numbers on the map corre-spond to historical buildings or sites for which Clinton-Baker has included information in the text.

Witness helps outOak Bay police are investigating a hit

and run on the 2500-block of Epworth St. on Sept. 20.

A witness saw the offending vehicle reverse into a parked car and took down the licence plate before the driver left the scene. The licence plate was provided to the police who contacted the driver, who has since admitted to the collision.

Car cat-nappingA driver discovered a man sleeping

in his car, which he had left parked in the 2000-block of Cadboro Bay Rd. on Sept. 21. The owner woke the sleep-

ing man up before calling police, and the man took off. The driver later discovered a small amount of damage inside the car.

The Oak Bay police encourage people to call them before engaging unfamiliar and potentially dangerous people in the interest of safety.

Public intoxicationOak Bay police arrested a 62-year old

man for public intoxication on Foul Bay Road on Sept. 16. The man was reported drinking outside the liquor store and the police were called. He was taken to a cell to sober up.

Squatters removedPolice were called-in to remove a

group setting up camp on the deck of a coffee shop at Oak Bay Marina on Sept. 21.

Almost 15 cyclists and campers had refused to leave until police persuaded the group to move on. The same group was the subject of two additional com-

plaints over the weekend.

Watch your wheelbarrowTwo notable items were reported stolen

last week. A new wheelbarrow, valued at about $200, was taken from a backyard on the 2100-block of Windsor Rd. on Sept. 18 and a black Ironman watch, val-ued at $150, was stolen from the fitness studio at the Oak Bay Recreation Centre on Sept. 17.

If you have information on these or any other crime, phone the police at 250-592-2424 or anonymously at Crimestoppers.

A woman might be hesitant share her age, but the Daughters of the Nile are boasting about turning 100 this fall and will be celebrating by raising funds for in-need children.

People in the community may not be familiar with the exclusive organization, but Daughters of the Nile supports the work of the Shriners Hospitals for Children, and has raised more than $1.7 million internationally for the hospital this year through the Canadian Trust and Daughters of the Nile Foundation.

“Shriners Hospitals do such wonderful work for children,” says Myrtle Pruden, queen of Victoria’s Miriam Temple No. 2. “What’s so special about the hospital is that if people can’t afford a service, it is done for free – and anyone can access that, they don’t need to be related to a shriner.”

While the group is not religious, women can only become members through a previous affiliation with a Shriner, a Master Mason or an associated organization, like the U.S. Rainbow Girls. Still, while there is no other way to join, Pruden encourages all those who think they might have a connection to get in contact with a local lodge to seek out a heritage link. Meanwhile, she emphasizes that everyone is welcome at the fundraising

dinner banquet and dance on Sept. 27, which coincides with a visit from Margaret Ann Risk, supreme queen of the Supreme Temple of Daughter of the Nile in Texas.

Right now, the Shriners serve 500 children from B.C., 89 of those from Vancouver Island. While there is a Canadian Shriners Hospital in Montreal, the closest of the 22 international locations are in Spokane, Wash. and Portland, Ore., meaning most Vancouver Island kids head south for treatment. A representative from the Portland hospital will also be attending the dinner on Sept. 27.

The international fraternal organization started in Seattle in 1913, and Victoria’s Miriam Temple was constructed in 1918, making it the second temple (out of 139) created world-wide. In celebrating 100 years as a philanthropic women’s group, Pruden says things have changed, but their mission is the same.

“We basically started as a group for women interested in bettering society,” Pruden says. “It started out for good, pure-minded women who wanted to better their world, and it’s still that way.”

The Victoria group holds meetings for 258 Vancouver Island-based residents, with members ranging in age from 19 to 90. From fundraising luncheons and dinners to social gatherings, fashion shows and entertainment events, the group has a diverse array of offerings. Pruden came to the group 13 years ago, after meeting other members through her husband’s Shriners group.

“I was interested in being a part of the choir, and I was really interested in becoming a bellydancer,” says Pruden with a laugh. “It’s very nice to belong to a group

that has such an altruistic objective to it. We just have so many fun events, but it’s just great to know that the work you do can affect a child in such a wonderful way.”

Join the Daughters of the Nile 100-year anniversary banquet Friday, Sept. 27, 5 p.m. at the Comfort Inn & Suites

Conference Centre (3020 Blanshard). Tickets are $40, and include dinner, entertainment and dancing. Purchase tickets by calling Ardath at: 250-479-2132. Learn more about the organization at daughtersofthenile.com.

Cities seek improved terms to partner with industry-run agency Multi Material BC

Jeff NagelBlack Press

Civic leaders are demanding an extra 90 days to negotiate acceptable terms for the coming shift of blue box recycling control to industry-run agency Multi Material BC.

Delegates at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention unanimously backed the resolution last week and agreed to strike a working group to help coordinate negotiations on behalf of affected cities.

Many cities fear degraded recycling services depending on how the new system rolls out and argue MMBC won’t pay them enough to cover their costs if they agree to keep running curbside collection as contractors.

“We see a significant hit to taxpayers to cover the cost of implementing this program,” said Prince George Coun. Cameron Stolz, disputing MMBC claims the $110-million system will be fully financed by the producers of packaging and paper.

“The terms and conditions of the contract are just simply unacceptable,” New Westminster Coun. Bill Harper said.

If cities decline to be paid collectors, MMBC will contract the service out to firms and may let them halt curbside pickup of glass and direct residents to take jars and bottles to a depot instead.

“That glass is going to go straight in the gar-bage,” Harper predicted. “So we’re actually walk-ing backwards in terms of the diversion rate in New Westminster.”

Thursday’s vote came as MMBC claimed 85 per cent of B.C. cities with curbside pickup have accepted its offer to run the service for payment. It said five per cent declined by a Sept. 16 deadline, letting MMBC contract out, while 10 per cent will opt out and keep providing recycling pick up with-out any MMBC payment.

Richmond Mayor Malcolm Brodie, chair of Metro Vancouver’s zero waste committee, said the positive responses MMBC claims may include many cities that have conditionally signalled their intent, but want to negotiate better terms.

“In Metro Vancouver there is widespread rejec-tion of the MMBC situation,” he said. “But I believe there’s also a collective will to make it work.”

Brodie said he’s been assured provincial gov-ernment officials are concerned and argued the planned launch date of next spring should be delayed.

“I think that the dates are really arbitrary. If it’s a good idea and we want to do it, May of 2014 is not magical. It could be May 2015 or any other date.”

The UBCM resolution was crafted from separate motions lodged by Smithers, Port Moody, North Vancouver and New Westminster.

Port Moody did sign on to the financial offer but is seeking improvements to the terms, Mayor Mike Clay said.

NDP local government critic Selina Robinson urged the province to “slow down and get it right.”

Despite efforts to keep the smart meter “controversy” alive by repeat-ing imaginary health claims, the end is near.

Energy Minister Bill Bennett has made what sounds like a final offer to holdouts.

You want to keep your old mechanical meter, fill your boots. It’ll cost you an extra $35 a month, starting in December. If you insist on a “radio off” wireless meter, there will be a setup fee of $100 and a monthly fee of $20 to have someone collect the readings.

These charges are to be reviewed by the B.C. Utilities Commission, the independent panel that smart meter opponents want to review BC Hydro’s whole smart grid proj-ect.

As it happens, the BCUC recently did just that for an application by FortisBC to install wireless meters for its Okanagan and Kootenay cus-tomers. The meters were approved, and the findings are instructive.

The BCUC report notes that it received “many” complaints about smart meter signals being added to existing radio frequency (RF) sources. Some used familiar scare rhetoric about “toxic microwave radiation” that’s promoted by people trying to make money by exploiting fear.

One of the experts retained by FortisBC was Dr. Yakov Shkol-

nikov, an electrical engineer with advanced degrees from Princeton and Cornell Universities. His testi-

mony was not challenged by any of the lineup of opponents. A sample of his findings illustrates the absurdity of this whole discussion.

Shkolnikov calculated that a cellphone in use generates radio signals that reach 10 per cent of the international safety code limit. A microwave oven generates 2.3 per cent of the safe limit. A cordless phone: 1.25 per

cent. A Wi-Fi signal: 0.0045 per cent. A bank of smart meters, not sepa-

rated by a wall, registers 0.0019 per cent. The natural background RF level is 0.013 per cent. Note the decimal place. The level in the mid-dle of the wilderness is more than 10 times that received from a bank of meters.

BCUC staff added, for compari-son, the radio signal level emit-ted by a human body. It’s 0.018 per cent. What this means is your spouse snoring beside you is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters.

Experts put up by opponents didn’t fare so well. One was Jerry Flynn, a retired Canadian Forces officer from Kelowna who travels around taking readings, talking to elderly people about alleged haz-ards of meters, and making claims to the media about what he has

called the single biggest threat to human health today.

The BCUC found his military experience not “relevant,” and his evidence frequently “incorrect, exaggerated and/or unsubstanti-ated.”

Then there was Curtis Bennett, who described himself as “chief sci-ence officer” for a company called Thermoguy. He spoke on behalf of West Kootenay Concerned Citizens. In a 2012 letter to the B.C. energy ministry, Bennett warned of the danger of smart meters triggering “molecular earthquakes.”

The BCUC panel wrote: “While Mr. Bennett has an electrician’s knowledge of electrical systems, it is clear that he is unqualified to give expert opinion evidence on the health effects of RF, exposure stan-dards for RF, engineering, physics or geological phenomena such as earthquakes.”

Citizens for Safe Technology put up one Dr. Donald Maisch, who claimed to have experience with this issue in Australia.

The panel noted that Maisch runs EMFacts Consultancy, and agreed with FortisBC’s argument that “Dr. Maisch’s consulting liveli-hood depends upon public fears and concerns about RF exposure.”

Would you like this circus of quackery to be restaged over BC Hydro’s program, at your expense?

Regulator’s reading on smart meters

‘Your spouse ... is a stronger source of RF than a whole wall of smart meters.’

NDP could find new leader here

During the provincial election in May, the presumed NDP victory left pundits wondering how many cabinet ministers might come from Greater Victoria and the Island, and how that might impact the good fortune of our economy.

Voters of course delivered anything but what the pollsters expected, and once again relegated the region’s provincial NDP representation to opposition roles.

With Adrian Dix now the outgoing NDP leader (the second to resign in less than three years) Greater Victoria now has a strong chance to be home to the Official Opposition’s new leader.

Second runner up to Dix in 2011, Juan de Fuca MLA and Langford resident John Horgan is arguably Greater Victoria’s strongest candidate for the top job. A three-term MLA and with a high profile as energy critic and house leader, Horgan is the regions most charismatic probable candidate to lead the NDP.

Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming, another three-term veteran, is another viable candidate as education critic, a portfolio fraught with controversy if there ever was one.

Other names have also been floated: Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson. Although an outside chance, Carole James could take a shot at her old job.

During his resignation announcement last week, Dix said this province doesn’t need a “second (B.C.) Liberal party.”

It’s advice any leadership candidate should heed. The NDP might be tempted more than ever to fundamentally rewrite party policy and edge toward the political right as a reaction to the party’s election loss, and the earlier round of infighting that led to Carole James stepping down in 2011.

The problem with the NDP isn’t its core values and ideology. The problem is the NDP picks its leaders more on party loyalty than who has the spirit and drive to connect with voters.

NDP party members and insiders have done a lot of navel gazing this year about their election loss. It’s time for the opposition to refocus and think about what kind of leader it wants to act as a check and counterweight to the Liberals’ economic agenda.

45 Years - 3 GenerationsIn 1968 my mother decided at the age of 60, she needed a new job - that “new job” was real estate and it

lasted 23 years until she retired at the age of 83. Along the way she built up a family real estate tradition and

mentored many in the business; including Eric Ziegler (her husband) who joined her in 1970, Michael Ziegler

(me) who joined her in 1975 - and � nally her grandson Tristan - who joined the business in 2008.

Tristan and I bring a 45 year tradition to every relationship old and new. It is wonderful to know that many of our

clients have dealt with us 4 or 5 times and referred family and friends - in some cases 3 generations of clients!

We intend to be here for the fourth generation clients as well!

The deer in Oak Bay are safe. Right now, it’s homeowners who are the endangered species.

You may be living in a nice, quiet, residential area, but do you know what your neighbour is planning? Zoning bylaws may not protect you.

One day, a little sign could appear next door and a large construction is planned. You can protest to council and design panel but your objections may be discounted.

Some councillors may ignore you

completely. If that sounds unlikely, it’s exactly what happened to us. It can happen to you. It’s happening all around us.

Beautiful Oak Bay, as we know it, is endangered. Clive Drive is just the tip of the iceberg. Homeowners need to mobilize and get organized before it’s too late. Only they can represent their own interests. It is clear that one can’t rely on other people to do that.

Re: Kill the cull (Letters Sept. 11).I read with disgust the letter that your paper

published under the captioned heading in the Sept. 11 edition of your newspaper.

In that letter, the writer suggested that the municipality publish videos and photos of animals being killed.

Assuming the writer was of sound mind, I cannot infer that his suggestion was serious.

I can only reasonably conclude that his letter was a feeble and vitriolic attempt at

sarcasm. The letter was neither helpful nor humorous.

It did nothing to advance the best interests of the community. Your publishing of that letter did nothing to further the integrity or credibility of your newspaper.

I suggest that you be more judicious in your selection of the letters that you choose to publish.

Re: Frank Leonard: Rec opportunities abound in Saanich (vicnews.com)

Saanich has made some great progress with recreation facilities and getting people active, but the largest recreation facility has been overlooked in this article.

The roads and sidewalks throughout the region are used by walkers, runners and cyclists for recreation in numbers that dwarf the patrons using indoor facilities.

Mr. Leonard recognizes dedicated facilities such as the Lochside Trail, which are excellent, but these only represent a fraction of users.

Of course, the same sidewalks and roadways used for recreation double as facilities for active transportation and are critical to the development of a livable community.

Greg MillerOak Bay

As we watch our children head off for the start of another school year, we should pause and consider the state of education in the rest of the world. While Canadians enjoy one of the best education systems that exist, globally 57 million children of primary school age still remain out of school; that’s almost twice the population of Canada denied a future.

The Global Partnership for Education is the only multilateral partnership that exists to help bring down that appalling number. Over the last decade, it has put an additional 23 million children in school, trained 413,000 teachers and constructed more than 37,000 classrooms for boys and girls. Canada helps fund this program and these numbers are an example of Canadian tax dollars making a big difference.

But the numbers are still sobering: globally, 66 million girls are not

offered any schooling at all, far fewer than boys. When girls get an education, they are six times less likely to be married off as children, and have 2.2 fewer children. For every extra year a girl stays in school, her income can increase by 15 to 25 per cent.

The Global Partnership for Education is slated for funding renewal and it’s imperative our federal government increases its contribution. During the past funding round, the Global Partnership achieved barely half of its needs, resulting in another lost generation.

Compared to the economic return, the cost of educating children is small, and girls especially need our help to bring much needed changes to backward and illiterate communities.

Education is a human right and Canada can help make that possible.

If the Rifflandia festival at Royal Athletic Park was in compliance with the Victoria bylaw permitting noise up to 90 decibels, then the bylaw level is too high.

One wonders what was happening to the hearing of the two-year-old sleeping through

the performances. It would be interesting to hear from the

otologists who are dealing with hearing loss of our noise polluted society.

Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan and Victoria-Swan Lake MLA Rob Fleming are among a handful of New Democrat MLAs considering a run at the NDP lead-ership.

Last week, NDP leader Adrian Dix announced he is stepping down as party leader. A new leader is expected to take the reins of the party by mid-2014. The move follows the party’s disappointing result in last spring’s provincial election.

Horgan, who ran for the party leadership in 2011 and placed third, said he is considering running again, but hasn’t made any decisions yet.

“I have to focus on what the needs of my constitu-ents are, the people in my communities,” Horgan said, “Can I best do that as leader of the opposition or just as a critic for a particular ministry? I have to weigh that.”

Horgan has known Dix for 25 years and said he

has nothing but the “utmost respect” for him and the work he did with the party.

Dix staying on until a leader can be chosen is a positive, Horgan said, at which point the party needs to work on tapping into core values in the province.

“We need to reconnect with working people and middle class families,” Horgan said.

“We’ve got to be able to mix the economy and environment, not just in an isolated Lower Mainland, Southern Vancouver Island way, but in a provincial way.”

Fleming said he is also considering running. He believes this is the right time for Dix to step

down and hopes to see the party move forward with a focus on economic growth and environmental pro-tection, with an eye to the 1990s Mike Harcourt (for-mer NDP premier) administration as a model.

“It was a government that was fiscally responsible, advanced a strong environmental protection agenda and presided over the highest growth rates B.C. has seen in the last quarter century,” Fleming said.

Other potential candidates include MLAs George Heyman, David Eby and Mike Farnworth. There’s also speculation Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin and Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson could consider leadership bids.

Moe Sihota, president of the B.C. New Democratic Party and a holdover from the party’s glory days in provincial politics in the 1990s, announced his res-ignation Saturday. The move came three days after Dix made his announcement.

“I am proud of some of the great strides forward we have made together, and am also excited about our shared future,” Sahota said in a statement on the B.C. NDP website.

Sihota, 58, a former Esquimalt MLA, will leave the post he has held since 2009 when his term ends following the November party convention in Van-couver.

Eyes at SchoolWe all know that a student should be able to read

what the teacher writes on the board, but there is more to good vision than this. Vision skills including depth perception, eye co-ordination and even color vision can have an effect on a child’s performance at school. While parents and teachers recognize the importance of vision in the development and well be-ing of children, there are youngsters who fall behind at school because of undetected vision problems.

Today, some school districts perform vision screening for their students. These valuable screen-ings do catch many vision problems that result in a decrease in visual acuity. However, some vision problems may slip through the cracks and these screenings should not be confused with a thorough vision examination by a Doctor of Optometry.

Teachers are often the first people to pick up a vi-sion problem at school. An observant parent is also in an excellent position to pick up on any symp-toms of vision problems in a young child. Although the following list isn’t considered exhaustive, signs to look for include: covering an eye or closing an eye; squinting; turning or tilting the head to one side; rubbing the eyes; headaches; especially after reading; reports of blurred vision; and losing one’s place while reading. If there is any question about a child’s vision, a complete eye examination is recom-mended.

Photon - Victoria’s visual master Photon is going to make the walls dance Thursday at Upstairs Cabaret. Photo by PBJ Photography.

legendary american house superstar DJ Dan is about to bring Victorians on a disco funk odyssey with his bangin’ beats — but it’s local VJ Photon that is going

to make the walls dance at Upstairs Cabaret Thursday (Sept. 26).

With 8,500 lumens of projection power and more than 40 feet of stretchy lycra screens at the ready for Thursday night’s after School Special featuring DJ Dan alongside locals naomi nice and DJ Wreckordz, Photon is ready to add another element to the entertainment for the evening. “The whole stage will be visuals,” he says. “It’s a lot of light.”

Photon has been working in the visuals business for more than a decade on the local scene, providing custom lighting and video for a wide spectrum of music — from Prince and Jefferson Starship to DJs like Crystal Method, Mat the alien, rennie Foster and DJ Dan.

“I’ve done the visuals for Dan almost every time he’s come to town,” says Photon, whose given name is Erik nortman. “I love house music. I like the way he makes people dance.”

Photon is ready to bring “a retro disco-house vibe” to Upstairs for the show Thursday night.

Born and raised in Toronto, Photon made the journey to Victoria when he was 21, following a friend who had moved here. He never left.

“It’s a really diverse scene. There’s a lot going on with different things for different kinds of people. There’s so much talent in this city,” he says.

Photon got his start doing visuals after being inspired by a friend who was in the business. “I was already doing lighting when I got into film projection,” says Photon. He began working with a local jam band Wasabi Collective at their weekly shows at lucky Bar in the early 2000s using slide projections and 16mm film loops.

“Things have changed big time,” says Photon who now uses digital video loops and much more modern technology to create his art.

Photon worked as the resident video tech at Upstairs Cabaret from 2003-08 before leaving to focus on his freelance business, vjcanada.com.

“I love doing visuals,” he says. “It makes the space more interesting. ... I used to be a ‘Dead head,’ and I loved the vibe the Grateful Dead were creating with their visuals. I wanted to

bring that energy to the scene here in Victoria.”While some of the acts he works with

provide visuals for Photon to use, he sources, and often creates, his own video loops to pair with the music.

“I like urban-style visuals. I like to make them as surreal as possible — not just shots of a city ... I like motion graphics layered on top.”

Photon works on a multi-layer platform that allows him to mix layers together — often playing at different speeds to give the audience another sensory experience to be dazzeled by. “I work with the acts, take their songs and break them down into visuals,” he says. “I like to use visuals that make people feel. ... and I synch it to the beat of the music.”

and remember: when you see Photon set up at in the club, don’t request a song. “I’m not the DJ,” he says, although he often gets confused for one. “It doesn’t bother me. ... I just go with the flow.”Tickets for the after School Special featuring DJ Dan with visuals by Photon are $20 at Ditch records and lyle’s Place. $25 at the door or $10 with a valid student card. Doors at 10 p.m.

“They started work in 1622 to create a folio collection with all the Shakespeare plays – it has 36, but 18 had never been printed previously,” Kelly said. “If this book hadn’t been printed, we wouldn’t have plays like Macbeth, Twelfth Night, As You Like It, Antony and Cleopatra.

“Hamlet's soliloquy is only found in the folio. To understand the plays and the playwright would have been really difficult without this.”

Around 230 to 240 First Folio books exist today, out of 750 printed in 1623, a good survival rate considering the Bodleian Library at Oxford, for one, ditched its copy after the Second Folio (i.e. the second edition) came out in 1632. “In the 17th century, the First Folio was just considered an old book,” Kelly remarked.

The Third Folio is the rarest, after most prints were destroyed in the Great Fire of London in 1666. Forty-three are known to exist.

Kelly, who has examined a First Folio edition herself, although not the one on

display, said the books are a reminder that Shakespeare didn’t pen his enduring work in isolation, but was influenced by his actors and the community he worked in, and ultimately by editors and typesetters who printed (or misprinted) his work.

“Shakespeare was part of a community. We all do our best work when we collaborate with others. It’s comforting to know the same is true with Shakespeare,” she said. “He is probably better because of the people around him.”

The actors and printers who created the First Folio took a big gamble in terms of recouping their costs. Kelly suspects the theatre company was exceptionally proud of those plays and its members had great affection for Shakespeare personally.

“A folio is a big important book. They were assuming Shakespeare was worth the investment.”

The First Folio at the Legacy Art Gallery is what is called a “sophisticated copy,” where some pages are reproductions or replacements of the original. “Of the First Folio, very few are

complete and original and not mixed with other copies. Only a handful are original and intact. If you were 400 years old, you’d be lucky to have all your pieces,” Kelly quipped.

The First and Third Folios are on loan from the University of Toronto. The Second and Fourth Folios are on loan, perhaps surprisingly, from the Legislature Library in Victoria.

In the early 1900s Victoria resident Harrison Garside somehow amassed a collection of rare and valuable books which included the two Shakespeare Folios, a Thomas Hobbes first edition Leviathan from 1668, and several 16th-century bibles.

“We’re not sure where he got his amazing and significant volume of books,” said Jenstad, “But he sold his collection to the provincial library.”

The Shakespeare Folios are on display at the Legacy Art Gallery, 630 Yates St., until Oct. 23.

Foundation launches scrap metal collection programKyle SlavinNews staff

The David Foster Foundation wants your old barbecues, pots and pans, and car parts to help support Canadian families who have a child in-need of an organ transplant.

A new partnership between the charity and Schnitzer Steel will allow for donations to come in the form of scrap metal. Schnitzer will give the cash value of the donated metal to the David Foster Foundation.

To launch this new partner-ship, four Greater Victoria RBC locations – another foundation partner – are hosting scrap metal drives this weekend (Sept. 27 and 28).

“With the change in the eco-nomic environment, the foun-

dation is really reaching out to its national and regional part-ners for unique donations, so it really maximizes the efforts of collaboration, rather than sim-ply asking for cash donations,” said Brian Cant, spokesperson for the David Foster Founda-tion.

Greater Victoria residents are urged to drop off their scrap metal – unwanted appliances, cables and wires, even old cars – between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Uptown, Broadmead, Esquimalt or Westshore RBC branches on Friday and Satur-day. All ferrous and nonferrous metals are accepted.

“I don’t think a car’s going to fit in one of the recycle bins, but we’ll gladly accept it,” Cant said with a laugh.

“If somebody does have a scrap car they want to bring, we’ll connect them with Schnitzer to assist them with that.”

If you can’t make it to one of the RBC branches on the weekend, you can drop off

scrap metal at Schitnzer Steel, 307 David St., and ask that the donation be put in the David Foster Foundation charity bin.

The David Foster Foundation assists in lessening the financial burden on families who have a child going through an organ transplant, by providing on average $10,000 per year, per family.

For more information, please go online to davidfosterfounda-tion.com.

OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 www.vicnews.com • A17OAK BAY NEWS - Wednesday, September 25, 2013 www.vicnews.com • A17

“Some of the information I got from the archives, but also I went through a lot of interviews that were done with old-time Oak Bay residents in

the 80s, those who grew up in the area, and who talked about their memo-ries of the municipality as a whole,” he explained. “There’s just not a lot of lit-erature about the history of Oak Bay.”

Clinton-Baker said he also picked the brain of his grandfather, who grew up in the area. But in spite of the information he was able to col-lect from the different sources, it was the challenge of envisioning the area as it was before a lot of the infra-structure was put in that he found the hardest.

“People talked about kingfishers having their nests in the dirt banks,” he cited as an example. “But now it’s a concrete wall along Beach Drive. And people used to camp down by the beach.”

The Oak Bay Historical Walking Tour brochures are being distrib-uted to many of the businesses and shops in the village. Clinton-Baker estimates that it would take about one hour to do the walk, taking the time to stop and see the sites on the map.

“I really hope it will be useful, not just to visitors, but also to local resi-dents who might pick up one or two things they didn’t know before – or who might think again about appre-ciating the history of our beautiful little corner.”

Dynamic duo keep heads (and feet) above waterDon DescoteauNews staff

Anyone who plays outdoor sports in Greater Victoria has no doubt faced the soggy shoe syndrome.

Whether involved in soccer, rugby, baseball or other sports requiring cleats, the prospect of slogging through a wet field or competing in the rain is very high.

Matt Weingart and Brian McKenzie, longtime rugby players who work together by day as Rocks Stonemasonry, have spent many hours thinking about and discussing

how to solve the problem as they bash and shape rocks.

Ultimately they came up with Dryfeet, a rubberized boot-style cover that fits over cleats and eliminates the discomfort and shoe breakdown that are products of playing in the wet.

The concept came from cycling, Weingart says, adding, “Brian and I played for years on cold, wet fields.”

The partners developed the product between hammer swings, with the help of a manufacturer on the mainland. They’ve foregone playing this season to focus on

developing their business, known as Dryworld Industries.

Gaining a licensing deal with a professional league is among their goals. Current clients using Dryfeet include players in the Canadian Football League and National Football League, NWSL Women’s Pro Soccer League and Britain’s Aviva Premiership Rugby League.

With their initial product having grabbed a foothold, the pair have turned their attention to other drywear products, such as a top that not only keeps the wearer dry, but helps lift them into a more biomechanically sound position. They’re also looking at drygear applications for baseball, football and running.

“We’re driven by the fact we’ve created something that benefits athletes,” McKenzie says, noting they don’t have many moments where they’re not thinking of, talking about or selling the product or idea.

Adds Weingart: “Our vision is to be the Apple of the sporting goods world.”

Dri-Foot is available at Spank-It Sports, Soccer World and online at dryworldindustries.com.

Downtown hotel a business winner

Condé Nast Traveler magazine readers have placed Victoria’s Magnolia Hotel and Spa on the

2013 list of 20 top hotels for business travellers. As part of the magazine’s 16th annual business travel awards, the Courtney Street hotel tied for 10th spot on the list.

Reader comments cited the Magnolia’s “great location, steps away from Victoria’s harbour,” its updated rooms and service that goes “above and beyond.” The Magnolia was the only hotel in Canada to make the list.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Notice is hereby given that all persons who deem their interest in property affected by the following bylaw will be afforded a reasonable opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions to Oak Bay Municipal Council on the matters contained therein at a Public Hearing to be held at the Oak Bay Municipal Hall, 2167 Oak Bay Avenue, Victoria, B.C., at 7:30 p.m. on Monday, September 30, 2013.

Bylaw No. 4592, Ninety-First Zoning Bylaw Amendment Bylaw, 2013

Currently, the regulations regarding keeping poultry and bees reside in the Animal Control Bylaw.

Bylaw No. 4592 would insert a number of the land use regulations in respect to keeping poultry and bees into the Zoning Bylaw. In the Bylaw, the keeping of poultry is restricted to One-Family Residential Use Zones (RS-1, RS-2, RS-3, RS-4, and RS-5), except for properties in those zones located in the Uplands where the keeping of poultry is prohibited. The Bylaw also sets out that bee hives may be kept on One-Family Residential Use Zones as well as land zoned for Institutional Use. For both poultry and bee hives, the number permitted to be kept is based on the size of the property as laid out in the Bylaw. Siting regulations for both chicken coops and bee hives are also set out in the Bylaw.

Compared to the current regulations in the Animal Control Bylaw, Bylaw No. 4592 reduces the setbacks for chicken coops and bee hives, implements a new setback for chicken coops where the property abuts a lane, and eliminates minimum lot size requirements for keeping poultry.

The regulations contained in Bylaw No. 4592, along with non-land use regulations in respect to the keeping of poultry and bees, are also contained in the Animal Control Bylaw for which a companion amendment is before Council for consideration.

Copies of the above-described bylaw, and all other background material which has been considered by Council may be inspected prior to the Public Hearing between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday, excluding holidays, from September 20 to September 30, 2013 inclusive, at the office of the Municipal Clerk, Oak Bay Municipal Hall, 2167 Oak Bay Avenue, Victoria, B.C.

Finishing the Tour together(From left) Lori Hitchcox, Angela Richmond, Kendra Auringer, Stephanie Carter and Val Chura cross the finish line en masse along Belleville Street at Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria on Sunday afternoon. The four women, who entered the 50-kilometre event as Westshore Triathlon, have been good friends for 10 years and compete together in as many sporting events as possible. The second annual Tour de Victoria attracted nearly 1,400 riders, competing on three courses of varying lengths and difficulty levels around Greater Victoria. Winners were: Rob Britton in the League 140-kilometre event, in a time of three hours 58 minutes, 21 seconds; Andreas Hestler in the Island Savings 100K event in 3:08.55, three seconds faster than runner-up Michael Lord; and John Botelho (1:31.03) in the Ryder Hesjdal 50K race. Funds raised through entry fees into the overall event will be shared between the GoodLife Kids Foundation and the Ryders Cycling Society of Canada.

Rams hold down national No. 1 spot after blowout winHomecoming game scheduled for Friday at Westhills Stadium

The Mount Douglas Rams sit atop this week’s national rankings, following a 51-0 win over New Westminster in B.C. High School Football play Friday.

The Rams (1-0-0), the lone B.C. team on the top 10 list (canada-footballchat.com), got on the board early against the Hyacks at Langford’s Westhills Stadium, when Julian Luis scrambled in for a 14-yard touchdown score on the opening play from scrimmage. The Rams’ Mack Wegenast recov-ered a New West fumble on the opening kickoff to give the home team good field position.

From there it was all Rams, as they built a 28-0 halftime lead, and increased it to 41-0 after three quarters.

Marcus Davis caught a 29-yard TD pass from Ashton McKinnon and returned a punt 59 yards for a score to lead the attack. Luis also finished with a pair of touch-downs, while Sean Farinu, on a five-yard run, Alexis Keppene with a two-yard catch, and Sean Waugh,

with a 50-yard punt return, added singles.

Callum Duke kicked six con-verts and a 26-yard field goal to round out the scoring.

While the Rams were racking up the touchdowns at Westhills, the Belmont Bulldogs were doing their part at nearby Goudy Field, hammering the West Vancouver Highlanders 41-0 to keep pace with Mount Doug in the league’s

Western Conference standings.The Rams play their homecom-

ing game this Friday back at West-hills against divisional rival Notre Dame.

Game time is 2:30 p.m. Non-per-ishable food items are being col-lected for the Mustard Seed food bank.

Belmont is on the road that day for a game against New West.

Women’s rugby sidepulls off impressive win

The University of Victoria women’s rugby squad opened their 2013 Canada West season Friday at Wallace Field, upsetting the No. 9-ranked Lethbridge Pronghorns 18-15.

The win over the ’Horns is the first for Victoria in more than a decade of Canada West play.

Laura Crowe-Hutchon opened the scor-ing with her first try of the season, while Jaiden Parhar led the young Vikes squad with two tries. Vike Kara Galbraith scored on a penalty kick before the final whistle to seal the final three points for the win. Kim Leavitt, Cassandra Orr and Nicole Ronsky posted tries for the Pronghorns.

“It was an exciting game,” said Vikes’ head coach Mark Hall. “We took chances, some of them paid off, some didn’t. The girls played at the level they needed to

play at and that’s how they won, they stuck with it to the bitter end.”

The Vikes have a big home weekend ahead, taking on the Calgary Dinos on Friday (Sept. 27) at 5 p.m. and the Alberta Pandas Sunday at 11:30 a.m. at Wallace Field.

Soccer womenforge Alberta split

Despite carrying the play in much of Sunday’s Canada West women’s soccer match in Edmonton, the Vikes fell 2-0 to the University of Alberta Pandas.

UVic (3-2-0) enjoyed a solid start to the

weekend on Saturday when they beat Mount Royal Cougars (2-4-0) 2-1 in Cal-gary. Second-half substitutions Cassie Dennis and Allie Wiebe sandwiched goals seven minutes apart around a Cougars marker to give the visitors the winning margin.

The Vikes can get back on the winning track this Saturday (Sept. 28) when they host the Fraser Valley Cascades (2-2-1) in a 5 p.m. match at Centennial Stadium.

Field hockey womenpost road sweep

A weekend sweep in Calgary has the

Vikes well positioned to take on arch-rival UBC Thunderbirds in women’s field hockey on UVic’s home turf this Saturday and Sunday.

UVic (2-0-0) downed the Dinos 2-0 on Sunday and 6-0 Saturday to open the Canada West conference regular season on a high note.

Kathleen Leahy and Amanda Kuriano-wicz scored once apiece in the second game and goalkeeper Sheridan Goodma-nsen kept the Dinos (0-4-0) off the board for her second straight shutout.

Kyla Kirby scored twice in the first win, while singles came from Kurianowicz, Mei Lin Cheung, Marin Davidson and Andrea Jones. The Vikes, up 3-0 at the break, converted two penalty corners in the sec-ond half.

UVic hosts arch-rival UBC (2-0-0) at 11 a.m. on both days.
