OAK BAY TEA PARTY CELEBRATES YEARS WITH FUN AND FIREWORKS
50
Parade, fireworks, epic battle between mayors all part of the action Brittany Lee News staff
A
musement rides, afternoon kayaking, fireworks, and a face-off between current Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen and former mayor Christopher Causton in the annual floating teacup race. These are just some of the activities happening at Willows Beach this weekend in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Oak Bay Tea Party. While a majority of the weekend’s activities remain the same, members of the public will notice a few additions to this year’s schedule. For the first time, the Naden Band will be performing at the Tea Party. As well, fireworks, which have not been part of the annual event since 2003, are back, courtesy of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. “We’ve had a good formula over the last number of years for the Tea Party, so we’re reluctant to make too many changes,” said Bill Murphy-Dyson, chair of the Oak Bay Tea Party Society. “Why fix a good thing?” Murphy-Dyson, who first got involved organizing the Tea Party in 1989 and has been the society’s chair since 1994, guarantees that everyone will have a Sharon Tiffin/News staff good time.

Cyclists pedal through hidden Oak Bay streets Find bike-friendly routes for Bike to Work Week Brittany Lee News staff
Riding a bike through downtown Victoria may seem like an intimidating task, but members of the Oak Bay Active Transportation Advisory Committee say it doesn’t have to be. Advisory members will host four guided bike rides from various locations in Oak Bay to downtown Victoria on Thursday and Friday morning as part of Bike to Work Week, which started on Monday (May 28). Their goal is to introduce cyclists to the more attractive, less intimidating bike routes in
Decision day set Continued from Page A1
More information will go to residents within 250 metres of the development in the mail sometime in June. A balloon test, which is designed to give a visual representation of the height of the proposed building, will also be held. According to the consultant’s timeline, council should make a decision on the Development Variance Permits allowing a higher building with fewer parking spaces on June 27. editor@oakbaynews.com
the area, as well as to provide support and advice to new riders, according to Greg Miller, one of 11 members of the committee. “The fact that (Oak Bay is) within five kilometres of downtown, of UVic, of the major destinations (in Greater Victoria), is really important,” Miller said. “It’s in a corner of the region where there’s not a lot of cutthrough traffic.” For those afraid of cycling down busy roads such as Fort Street or Pandora Avenue, quieter, wider and flatter streets are all reasons why Oak Bay is a good place to bike, Miller said. Getting riders familiar with routes that are convenient and that they’re comfortable with will hopefully encourage them to become regular cyclists.
Vancouver Island’s Premiere Professional Theatre Training
The group will lead cyclists, including Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen and Coun. Michelle Kirby, downtown via routes through Richardson and Haultain streets, both of which Miller frequents. “I actually take both of those routes, depending on whether I’m dropping off my kids (at school),” he said. The committee’s purpose is to look at both long-range and immediate ways to improve active transportation in the municipality. But that can’t be done without public input, Miller said. “This is a great opportunity to get some public input and just draw awareness to what the committee’s doing.” For more information, email activeoakbay@gmail.com. reporter@vicnews.com

Vision Matters
SD 61 secretary treasurer steps down Administrative duties to be shared between existing staff Natalie North News staff
The Greater Victoria School District secretary treasurer retires next month and the district has no plans to fill his position. When George Ambeault steps down mid-June after 13 years at the district books, his position will go un-posted. Greater Victoria superintendent John Gaiptman and asso-
ciate superintendent Sherri Bell will take over his duties, while Ambeault will remain an advisor as needed. “We’re looking at some tough times next year and whether George’s duties can be done this way,” said board of education chairperson Peg Orcherton. “If not, we’ll have to reassess.” The cost-cutting move requires Gaiptman to report out regularly to the board, ensuring duties aren’t missed. Ambeault, 65, will remain in the field of education parttime. He has accepted the position of executive director of the Educational Resource Acquisition Consortium, a
serendipitous. “It allows me to stay in education, which is a great feeling, and to start slowing down for retirement,” he said. Ambeault came to the district by way of Waterloo, Ont. in 1999, where he had been the superintendent of business for the Waterloo Region District School Board since 1994. He praised the efforts of Orcherton and her predecessors around the board table. “It’s a real pleasure to work with them, but with sorrow I leave these people who have had not just an impact on my life, but on the lives of the students in their district.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Stop sign’s there for a reason A 17-year-old male driver was slapped with a $167 fine last week after police say he sped through a stop sign, skidded across Landsdowne Road and smashed into a rock wall and a tree. The teen failed to navigate a right turn onto Lansdowne Road from Nottingham Road on May 21 around 9 p.m.
The front end of the vehicle was severely damaged, and the air bags were deployed.
Clothing trail doesn’t lead police to suspected thief From used clothing to cash to an iPhone, Oak Bay police are investigating a host of recent thefts. Officers were called to
investigate a trail of clothing, from Byron to Fort streets along Foul Bay Road, left behind by a would-be thief at 9:20 a.m. on May 21. All of the clothes taken from an unlocked storage bin behind a consignment shop on the Avenue were recovered. The same day at 5 p.m., a suspect walked away from a ground-floor apartment unit in the 2000-block of the Avenue with an undisclosed
amount of U.S. and international currency, jewelry and a pocket watch. Investigators say the thief entered through a living room window. Later that night someone smashed the front passenger window of a vehicle in the in the 2100-block of Windsor Rd. and snatched an iPhone sitting in plain sight. emccracken@vicnews.com
Police levy fines, issue driving suspension for booze infractions Drinking alcohol proved to be an expensive lesson for several people in Oak Bay last weekend. Two men were fined $230 for consuming liquor in a public place at Cattle Point on Saturday at 8 p.m. An hour later three female minors were found with bottles of liquor and cider in a parked vehicle in the gravel parking lot at Oak Bay High. They were ticketed $230. A police roadblock netted a novice driver with a 0.17 bloodalcohol level on Sunday at 1 a.m. Police say the driver, who was stopped in the 2200-block of Cadboro Bay Rd., admitted to drinking one beer earlier in the evening. The motorist was penalized with a 12-hour licence suspension, and the vehicle was towed. The novice driver will also be suspended by B.C’s Office of the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles from driving for one to three months. emccracken@vicnews.com

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

Stars shine for Foster charity W
hile the event was supposed to help celebrate the grand reopening of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel, the David Foster Foundation 25th Anniversary Miracle Weekend went off without a hitch otherwise and raised more than $4.6 million for the foundation, which supports families with children in need of organ transplants. And if that was not enough, Kevin Walker, owner of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel and his wife, Shawna, have pledged to raise $2 million over the next 10 years for the foundation through proceeds from ticket sales to the David Foster Foundation Theatre, to be located in the new hotel. Greater Victoria played host to a smorgasbord of stars and icons during the weekend, including Wayne Gretzky, Rick Hansen, Michael Bublé, Sarah McLaughlin, Sinbad, Ruben Studdard, Josh Groban, Muhammad Ali and the Canadian Tenors. The weekend included two star studded dinners, an auction and a concert, giving Greater Victoria locals plenty of opportunity to, if not rub shoulders with, see their favourite singers and stars. On Friday, Foster was honoured with a little bit of real estate as a pathway running from Ogden Point to the Johnson Street Bridge, and eventually to Rock Bay, was dubbed David Foster Way. Bublé, a longtime friend of Foster, who referred to him as a “father-figure” was the impetus behind the naming project, and claimed to have driven Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin nuts with his enthusiasm for the project. In his acceptance speech, however, Foster attempted to one-up Bublé by telling Fortin, in front of the crowd, that “the city deserves a beautiful performing arts centre right on the water.” He followed that up with the statement: “Mayor, I’m going to be on your ass for the next 10 years.” Give the guy a pathway and he wants a performing arts centre. Which, of course would be great, if not for the fact that the residents of Victoria likely aren’t in a position to foot the bill for a performing arts centre located on the waterfront. Foster and friends are quick to put their money where their mouths are when it comes to charity, but would they do the same for the arts in Victoria?

When the B.C. government took the advice of B.C. Information and Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham and began releasing fish farm inspection data in 2010, the operators stopped providing samples voluntarily. The fish farmers’ position was that you can have a co-operative system of farm inspections or one that’s imposed, but not both. Imposing inspections on land farms across B.C.’s vast area is even less practical. Former Alberta premier Ralph Klein famously observed that the next rancher to find a possible mad cow should have “shot, shoveled and shut up” rather than file a report and devastate the industry. Denham, the NDP and others appear to operate under an assumption that there should be sufficient government resources to sample and inspect every farm across B.C. for reportable contagious illnesses. This is similar to the fashionable notion that we should have enough park rangers to guard every cedar tree. tfletcher@blackpress.ca —Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com.

LETTERS
Homes need breathing room Appreciate diversity I am rather impressed with how various letter writers and Mayor Nils Jensen have managed to change the conversation around the recent raft of home demolitions from one of heritage preservation and the reduction of property values to existing homes, to a discussion about how retrogrades who dislike West Coast home design should keep quiet; and how people who wish to speak about preserving Oak Bay’s architectural heritage are comparable to bigots who could have shunned Jensen’s family for being incomers back in the day. I’m particularly impressed by that last bit of smoke and mirrors: our mayor is not Crown Counsel for nothing. In fact what residents of Oak Bay are concerned about is not “the way they decorate their homes or what their paint colour should be.” My 12-year-old-son saw right through that argument (Letters May 16). What we are concerned about is losing our views as houses go up which maximize
the available footprint (the allowable footprint having been expanded only last year). We are concerned about not looking at trees and sky any more, but looking at a wall instead. We are concerned about our properties being devalued as houses go in which block the light to our homes and gardens. We are concerned about damage to our homes from blasting and from older plantings being undermined as new foundations being dug rip through roots. Personally, I don’t mind West Coast style houses, though I’m not convinced they belong in a neighbourhood where the housing stock is primarily from the first half of the last century. I feel the same about parts of Fernwood, Fairfield and James Bay. A repeal of the Floor Area Ratio would allow us breathing space to consider what sort of community residents want. Liz Belsten Oak Bay
As the developer who sparked the “protest” of some 20 people on Monterey Avenue recently, I have read of the developing debate with a keen interest. The home we are developing at 1058 Monterey Ave. (one of several modern homes in the immediate neighbourhood) is a testament to West Coast modern architecture and, though insufficient to some, efforts were made to blend this progressive design into the existing streetscape. We at Method Built Homes, like many developers, respect diverse views, perspectives and esthetic/architectural tastes. Diversity, in all spheres, has marked the upward progression of humanity in the sciences, the arts, in culture, in political discourse and even in architecture. Though it is true that Oak Bay exhibits some fine examples of late 19th century
arts and crafts architecture, to label Oak Bay as a quaint “British” neighbourhood monopolized with arts and crafts architecture is incorrect. The municipality exhibits a broad array of architectural styles built over the decades. Increased diversity in Oak Bay’s demographics has also meant increased diversity in, amongst other things, its architecture. This diversity, though disappointing to some, ought to be appreciated and encouraged. As we make our way well into the 21st century, our major metropolitan centres are evidence of a strong, vibrant diverse society. We should applaud this movement and appreciate it when it occurs in our own neighbourhoods. Rajinder S. Sahota Method Built Homes
Think about style over size
Put out the welcome mat
I would wager that 100 years ago, the local First Nations found our European style homes very out of place in the neighbourhood. Thankfully, they were not architectural elitists, and tolerated the new dwellings without making a fuss or picketing. You can rest assured that Samuel Maclure and Francis Rattenbury did not try to imitate older designs. They were on the cutting edge of their art. Were they
Re: Resident’s upset with mayor’s tolerance message (News May 18). I would just like to add my support for individuality and diversity. I would think that with all the rules, controls, and bylaws already in place, that as individuals we are already overwhelmed with laws on what we can and cannot do on our property. I, for one, would not want others deciding what is best for the design of my new family home. I fully support the mayor’s
alive today, they would not be designing homes to look as though created in a bygone era. It’s important for new homes to fit in. However, this is a matter of size and scale, rather than style.

statement on Oak Bay priding itself on being a welcoming and diverse community and am shocked that people would think that they should be able to decide what is the best house design for me to live in. There are more than enough decisions made on our behalf when living in any community. If everyone was the same, the world would be a boring place. Debbie Flint Oak Bay
New homes should Times have changed adapt to the landscape I am writing in regard to the articles and letters in the Oak Bay News on the subject of style of new houses. Stating that overpowering houses are a matter of taste is the easiest way of denying the problem. If we continue this way, Oak Bay will loose the tradition of building that is a part of our unique landscape. One example is a house on Barkley Terrace. The previous house, demolished just a few years ago, was part of a rocky sloping site with winding pathways around the house which blended in well with the natural rock formation. The present owner shaved a million year old geological formation and filled the leveled ground with a large house of rectangular shapes with an entire level as a garage for a collection of antique cars. What would you call it: taste or crime? Are we allowed to keep building similar large containers? Or shall we have a
broader vision and adapt the house to the local landscape? The municipality should implement size constraints so new houses will blend better into their surroundings. And where is the concern for energy issues? If a new house or commercial building is built, solar panels should be added at least for hot water. If building regulations will not change, our time frame will show up in the history as a square minded period to put it mildly. There are new houses, some with a very modern design, built with sensitivity to the surrounding, but many look like cancerous growths and often built for resale in a few years. I hope the municipality will open its eyes to the growing problem and revise the existing building regulations before Oak Bay loses its distinctive character. T. Lielupe Oak Bay

I, like many, get raised eyebrows when I say that I live in Oak Bay. “Oh, you must be rich,” is the reply from most, but since moving here 10 years ago, my reply has always been, “Oh, but if you knew the people of Oak Bay, you would love the place as much as I do and part of its charm is that, yes, there are wealthy people but there are people like me too, lower income with small houses.” Oak Bay is diverse and that’s what I love about it. The front page dated May 9, yet again encourages the stereotype that Oak Bay people are a “certain type” and if you don’t agree with what we like, you shouldn’t move into “our” neighbourhood. This group says they don’t want modern box houses built in Oak Bay. I have a small, 1950s postwar house and my neighbours down the street have a beautiful 1912 house. Do you think when my house was built after the Second World War, perhaps by some well deserving veteran who fought for our freedom, that the neighbour in the 1912 house complained that my house wasn’t the same style as theirs? That they said, “We don’t want one-level, box-like houses in our neighbourhood?” Perhaps, mine was a vacant lot and the 1912 homeowner sold the land to the person who built my 1953 house thereby sharing the beauty of the Oak Bay with them. How times have changed.
I love the fact that there is an eclectic mix of houses on my street. The style of house often reflects the personalities of the people living in them and if they like modern, why shouldn’t they have a modern looking house? Having lived in two other countries and having witnessed the segregation of classes and religion it made me appreciate more than ever what it means to be a Canadian and to embrace our diversity. How intolerant we’ve become of people who have different tastes than we do. How sad to think that we want people to conform to our tastes in building structures. There are areas of Victoria where the houses all look the same; Broadmead and the new Westhills Development come to mind. Frankly, I like the fact that all the houses on my street are different, as are the people, and they are wonderful. As long as the building meets safety codes, height restrictions and all the other requirements that the Oak Bay town hall sets, can’t we all just learn to be more tolerant and share the beauty and privilege we have in living in Oak Bay? My only complaint as an appreciative Oak Bay resident, is that it could be a little warmer. My son said to me the other day, “Mom, if we could move Oak Bay with all my friends to Arizona, I’d be really happy.” Margo Brody Oak Bay

Reduction in park traffic sought New plan sees scaled-down alterations to Beacon Hill Park area roadways Roszan Holmen News staff
After public outcry over proposed plans to close some roads to vehicles in Beacon Hill Park, more modest changes are in the works. People were fearful of the unknown, said Coun. Charlayne Thornton Joe. After reading the original plans, people thought “I can’t go here now,” she said Thursday at a city environment and infrastructure committee meeting. “We’re saying ‘yes you can.’” Last year, staff recommended permanent closures of some sections of roads that run through the park. The closures have been scaled back and cheaper, temporary measures such as bollards and signage have been proposed. The main changes now proposed entail removing parallel parking along Arbutus Road – at the foot of Quadra Street – except for evenings and weekends; closing Bridge Way at the washrooms, but adding 15-minute parking
stalls for seniors and young families; and closing Heywood Way between the cricket field and Circle Drive. The road closures are mainly intended to prevent drivers from cutting through the park. “This is meeting the concerns halfway,” said Doug DeMarzo, manager of parks planning and design. It keeps the spirit of the original plan, to make the park as friendly as possible to pedestrians, while maintaining vehicle access to all the park’s major amenities. In March, council directed staff to cut the project’s budget from $530,000 to $25,000. The new “bare bones” plan has nixed a proposed perimeter trail, upgrades to the parking lots and other esthetic improvements. Pending final approval by council, the parks department hopes to get started in July. From July through November, parks staff will survey the public about the changes. The results will determine whether the changes are reversed or maintained, and

Victoria honours David Foster Roszan Holmen News staff
Now that Victoria’s Inner Harbour walkway belongs to David Foster, at least in name, the Saanich-raised star intends to wield his influence. “The city deserves a beautiful performing arts centre right on the water,” Foster said, at a surprise, star-studded announcement in front of the Fairmont Empress Hotel on Friday afternoon. “Mayor, I’m going to be on your ass for the next 10 years,” he said, turning to Dean Fortin. Foster was joined by Michael Bublé, Pamela Anderson, Rick Hansen and other stars from B.C. to unveil a pathway sign in his name. The newly-named David Foster Way runs from Ogden Point to the Johnson Street Bridge. Eventually, the city plans to extend the walkway to Rock Bay. The idea for the naming came from Bublé. “Mayor Dean Fortin, I drove him nuts,” said Bublé. I called him about a year and a half ago and told him that I believe David represented this city so well and he’d made a huge impact on culture and I said that it was about time that Mr. Foster had a street

With a little prompting, three of the four Canadian Tenors on hand for the unveiling gave an impromptu performance of Hallelujah for the crowd.
Miracle Weekend raises millions With some corporate donations still to be tallied, the David Foster Foundation’s Miracle Weekend has brought in $4.6 million for the music star’s charity. “Victoria proved once again it is a hometown like no other,” said foundation CEO Mike Ravenhill. “A weekend event that was just 12 months in the making, kicked off by (Oak Bay Beach Hotel owners) Kevin and Shawna Walker, has set the stage for another 25 years of our foundation.” Money raised will go toward providing financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. The event, held at the Fairmont Empress and Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre, saw 29 people
In the audience were Foster’s extended family, including sisters, kids and grandkids. Foster said he plans to retire in Victoria. He concluded with this thought: “Thank you again to all of Victoria. I wave the Victoria flag every day of my life, I promise you I do. You can hold me to task on that.” rholmen@vicnews.com
purchase the full $10,000 weekend package and thousands buy tickets to individual events. On Friday night, 300 people walked up the carpet at the Empress to have dinner and enjoy an intimate concert with Foster, where tickets sold for $500. Premium tickets for Saturday night’s arena performance – which included a gala dinner and a live auction – went for $1,000. The event attracted 700 people. Another 4,130 people attended the concert, shelling out between $75 and $250 per seat. Onlookers hoping to get a glimpse of the stars crowded around the entrances to both venues. The traditional red carpet became purple for both events, matching the colour scheme for the weekend. The event was also supported by 150 volunteers.

These Will Go Fast!
Pumping out surprises Travis Paterson News staff
If you’re thinking polkas, you’re thinking wrong. There will always be a time and a place for the Central European genre of music so closely associated with the accordion. But it’s the wrong association to make to the B.C. Accordion Orchestra, says conductor Aleksandar Milojevic. “Our shows are a lot of fun and our musicians are some of the best in the world, it’s something people who haven’t seen us won’t realize.” The Victoria-based orchestra, which draws on musicians from the Island and beyond, is holding its annual concert in the Alix Goolden Hall on Thursday (May 31). The performance is full of surprises as it moves through the classical, tango, jazz, ethnic and pop genres, the latter being the only type of music to start with a ‘P.’ “We have returning members of our audience, who know what to expect, which means they don’t know what to expect, except for great music,” Milojevic said.
B.C. Accordion Society
World-class accordionist Jelena Milojevic leads the B.C. Accordion Orchestra at the Alix Goolden Hall. A former player himself, Milojevic will lead a dozen accordions through the various arrangements. Thursday is also the accordion society’s campaign kickoff for the Coupe Mondiale in August 2013, when the world’s biggest accordion event comes to Victoria. “It’s going to be a major event, bringing hundreds of the world’s top accordionists and thousands of spectators to Victoria.” It’s the first time the Coupe Mondiale, the most prestigious accordion competition of inter-
national scope which takes place each year, will come to Canada. Last year it was in China and this year it’s set for Italy. Milojevic is hard at work netting major sponsors for the event, and is in meetings with the ministry of community, sport and cultural development in planning for the event. Even sooner, however, is the Victoria Accordion Festival from July 19 to 22. Also an international event, though not to the same scale as the Coupe Mondiale, the accordion festival showcases a series of popular bands that feature an accordion. For those who have not experienced the range of what a group of accordions can accomplish in concert, tomorrow night’s show is for you. sports@vicnews.com

Look Like YOURSELF Again!
Author speaks on author British historian Peter Clarke will be at Fairfield United Church, 1303 Fairfield Rd., 7:30 p.m. on June 5 to read from his new book Mr. Churchill’s Profession. Although much was written about Sir Winston Churchill as a statesman and world leader, surprisingly little attention has been given to Churchill’s life as a writer. Writing was, in fact, his primary means of earning a living and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. Clarke’s narrative gives particular attention to the making of his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples, showing the themes that shaped
Churchill’s philosophy and world view. Clarke was formerly Professor of Modern British history and Master of Trinity Hall at Cambridge. His many books include The Last Thousand Days of the British Empire, The Keynesian Revolution in the Making, 1924–1936, and the widely admired final volume of the Penguin History of Britain, Hope and Glory, Britain 1900–2000. He lives with his wife, the Canadian writer Maria Tippett, in Suffolk, England, and Pender Island, B.C. Tickets, $5, are available at Munro’s Books, 1108 Government St.

Candlelight vigil to honour veterans More than a few tears will likely be shed tomorrow (May 31) when 3,500 candles glow as night settles over a 144-year-old military veterans ceremony. The annual candlelight vigil will once again be held at God’s Acre Veterans’ Cemetery in Esquimalt, honouring military members who have served their country. The public event, co-hosted by Veterans Affairs Canada and the Esquimalt Dockyard Branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, will happen in and amongst the 2,500 monuments and 25 interment markers of air force, navy and army service personnel who have passed on. During the 45-minute ceremony, past and present military members will pass their candles to the next generation – Cadets, Girl Guides and Scouts – who will then place the glowing wax columns on gravestones. “Every grave has at least one (candle). The kids make sure of that,” organizer Bob Haldane said. “It’s paying respect to our fallen comrades, and that’s really important – to let young

The conspiring of Rodriguez, Basso and Scarponi, as well as others, attempted to bump Hesjedal out Friday and Saturday, the contenders could not. “We were supposed to
Defence holding strong for ’Rocks Travis Paterson News staff
The Victoria Shamocks (2-0) didn’t dominate the visiting Maple Ridge Burrards (0-2) on Friday, but they nearly did, winning 8-4. Rookie head coach Bob Heyes wants to see more from his offensive group, starting with a home game against the Nanaimo Timbermen (2-1) Friday night (June 1), at 7:45 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. “With the group we have, we should be more effective offensively,” Heyes said. “We scored goals when we needed to (Friday) but we made it hard on ourselves.” The ’Rocks controlled the first and third periods against the Burrards, but a let down in the second period allowed the Burrards to take a 4-3 lead.

four goals, defence isn’t the problem. Local boy Mike Pires was named the first star with two goals, one in the second and one in the third. He also got into a fight at the final buzzer sounded, with Kevin Reid. “First (fight) of my life, don’t even know how it started,” Pires said. “I think we were good (on Friday), and the other team will have their pushes, but we don’t want to get in that situation.” Corey Small was also key up front with a natural hat trick that tied the game 4-4 and put the ’Rocks up 6-4. “We have a good mix of kids and vets,” Heyes said. “The kids have lots of energy, and instead of a few guys doing it all it’s everybody.

drop Ryder Hesjedal but it’s been the opposite,” Rodriguez told the Cycling News on Friday. “Hesjedal gave us a lesson … the Giro is in his hands. If he doesn’t make any (mistakes) he’ll be the winner.” Rodriguez was right. “I had to fight for this Giro, (my competitors) weren’t helping me, and it makes this victory even sweeter,” Hesjedal said in response to the mountain stages. “I had help from my team,
SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF
Diver McCormick Olympic-bound Saanich diver Riley McCormick is going to the Olympics. McCormick closed the book on his winter struggles with a first place effort on the men’s 10 metre tower at the Diving Canada Olympic trials in Montreal on Sunday. The Claremont secondary grad completed an incredible fifth-round reverse dive, which earned perfect 10s from four of the judges, and clinched McCormick’s second-consecutive trip to the Olympics. McCormick ended the competition with 979.80 points. Eric Sehn (Edmonton) was second with 863.65. “I knew I had the potential to put it all together. This was one of my best career perfor-
who did what they could. But my rivals put the pressure on … as we approached the last part of the Stelvio, my rivals weren’t willing to work because they felt it was my race to lose. It’s tactics and situation, and I had to save my own Giro in the last five kms, and that makes it that much sweeter.” Also sweetening it was multiple kisses with wife Ashley Hofer, and seeing his father, as well as Tour de Victoria organizer Seamus McGrath at the Stelvio summit. As for Hesjedal’s status in July’s Tour de France and this summer’s London Olympics, the Giro champ said he’ll begin putting a plan together soon. “Once I have started to see my name with the previous winners who’ve accomplished this, it will sink in, but I’m just enjoying it right now.” Earlier this year Hesjedal’s seventh-place finish at the 2010 Tour de France was bumped to sixth after that year’s winner, Alberto Contador, was disqualfied for doping. sports@vicnews.com
■ Since 1931, the Giro leaders jersey, known as the maglia rosa, has been pink to reflect the colour of La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Like the Tour de France, the Giro, which started in 1909, was created to increase the readership of newspapers.
Ryder ready for Olympics ■ Asked repeatedly on Sunday about competing for Canada at the upcoming Olympics, Hesjedal responded: “It’s the last thing on my mind right now, I don’t even know the selection date to be honest. But I’ve said all along I want to do it. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be in London, but we’ll see.” Hesjedal represented Canada as a mountain biker in the 2004 Olympics and road cyclist at the 2008 Olympics.

Comox to hold Cyclone Taylor Cup
Adam O’Meara tops at Shawnigan Lake
The Comox Valley Glacier Kings have won the bid to host the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The junior B provincial championship rotates between all three leagues in B.C., the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, Pacific International Junior Hockey League, and Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The Glacier Kings will face the respective winner of each league from April 11 to 14.
Victoria long-distance triathlete Adam O’Meara repeated as the Shawnigan Lake HalfIron triathlon champion on Sunday. O’Meara’s time of four hours, four minutes and 54 seconds was more than a minute slower on the rejigged 2012 course than his 2011 winning time of 4:03:36. Wade Carlson (Penticton) and Nathan Killiam (Surrey) finished second and third overall, respectively, on the 1.9-kilometre swim, 88-km bike and 21.1-km run of the Half Iron. Vancouver’s Rachel Kiers overtook Stephanie Ossenbrink (Richmond) in the swim to finish as the top woman with a time of 4:24:41. Shawnigan is the first race of the Subaru Western Triathlon Series, which continues June 17 at Elk Lake.
Correction The May 25 issue of the News incorrectly referred to Lambrick Park coach Chris Lubinich as complying with a vote by the Saanich district teachers. Lambrick Park is part of the Greater Victoria School District 61. The News regrets the error.

Train Locally – The only program of its kind in BC, students can learn within their local communities via distance education, local and/or regional clinical placements, and some regional classroom delivery. This 23 month program is accredited by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of BC (CRPNBC).
