There may be money in a decision to plan the use of Oak Bay’s roadways. Oak Bay’s new complete streets policy will be discussed as a part of the Active Transportation Advisory Committee report at the municipality’s June 18 Committee of the Whole meeting. Complete streets is a “I know there term used to are going to be describe streets that function for very strong views people of all ages on this.” and abilities. The - Nils Jensen complete streets policy will set the municipal vision for road, sidewalk and trail priorities and maintenance. “This effort from the municipality shows support for cycling and cycling infrastructure,” said Coun. Michelle Kirby. Currently Oak Bay is the only Greater Victoria municipality without a complete streets policy, which puts it at a disadvantage when competing for provincial and federal funding. With a policy, the municipality will be in a better position to access the estimated $53 million in government funding for Oak Bay High, the performing arts theatre, the Neighbourhood Learning Centre and the Bowker Creek Restoration projects.

Band of brothers

Blake SmithDaniels, left, Brett Smith-Daniels, Trevor Kidd and Michael Tessier are Endurance. The band hopes to make it big in order to give money to people in need. Brittany Lee/News staff

Local teen band Endurance aims to rock, and roll in funds for children in developing nations Brittany Lee News staff

What started as a wish to help povertystricken children in the Dominican Republic has continued as a dream to become charitable rockstars. When Blake Smith-Daniels, 12, and his family were vacationing in the Caribbean about six years ago, Blake noticed a group of young children kicking around a stone and wondered why they weren’t playing with toys. “I asked my mum … ‘Mum, where are all their toys?’” Blake says. “And (her answer was) they hadn’t got any toys.” After returning from the trip, Blake, who was six at the time, celebrated his birthday by asking not for gifts for himself, but for money to donate to children living in the Dominican Republic. “We were kind of appalled by the living standards (there),” says Blake’s brother, Brett Smith-Daniels, who plays lead guitar and vocals. Since then, both brothers, who form half of the local band Endurance, have dreamed about being able to help children living in developing countries. “I think helping people through music

I had no hope in it at all.” They “lucked out” and were invited to perform in front of the Dragons at the CBC studios in Toronto on May 12. The episode should air sometime next season between September 2012 and March 2013. “We can tell you that it was a very, very exciting experience,” Michael says. The band had a month to prepare for its pitch in Toronto and put together a proper business plan, an experience they call “stressful and terrifying.” “For the music (part), we thought, ‘OK, we have this sort of covered,’” Michael says. “But it was the pitch (that made us nervous).” But like the band’s name, inspired by a Nelson Mandela quote, they remained strong throughout the process. To the band, endurance means staying strong in tough times and being committed to the industry. “There’s not all too much money nowadays in the music industry,” Brett adds. “Obviously you can make a living out of it, but we’re doing it for the love of it.” For more information about the band, look them up on Facebook by searching Endurance. reporter@vicnews.com

Monterey Recreation Centre is not just a seniors’ centre. Staff at Monterey rec want Oak Bay residents to know that the facility has programs catering to people age 50-plus, not just retirees. “A lot of people think of us as a seniors’ centre, but we are trying to get the word out that Monterey rec centre welcomes people (age) 50-plus,” said Lesley Cobus, co-ordinator at Monterey rec. “And we’re trying to attract the baby boomers as they’re going into retirement.” The rec centre offers a “kaleidoscope of courses” in topics such as languages, cooking, fitness, and literature. It also has more than 35 clubs that are low or no-cost, Cobus said.

Don Denton/News staff

Hellie McLelland is one of the organizers from the Oak Bay Seniors Activity Association who arranged for a commemorative plaque to be placed outside the Monterey Recreation Centre. “We just want (baby boomers) to know that part of a healthy retirement is keeping your mind and body active,”

Cobus said. “We’re trying to keep people fit, and engaged, and healthy.” The centre currently has

about 2,046 members and the Oak Bay Senior Activity Association recently unveiled a commemorative plaque on the building. The association, which was established in 1971 by a group of seniors, wanted a plaque to celebrate the Monterey rec centre’s 40th anniversary. “It was felt important to recognize the original building and it’s purpose,” said Hellie McLelland, who lead the project. One way the rec centre is providing “life-long learning and social opportunities” is by hosting a Rock n’ Roll Tribute Dance on June 16, featuring local rock ‘n’ roll dance band Rukus. The event takes place in the Garry Oak room, at 6 p.m., with dinner at 6:30 p.m. and the band on at 7:15 p.m. Tickets, $23, include dinner and must be purchased in advance. Monterey rec centre is located at 1442 Monterey Ave. For more information or to buy tickets, call 250-3707300. reporter@vicnews.com

Yacht club shows its colours

Continued from Page A1

Historic open house Saturday For the first time, the Royal Victoria Yacht Club is opening its doors to the public at an open house on Saturday, June 16. â€œWe donâ€™t think the club has done enough to show how it can make boating in Oak Bayâ€™s fabulous waters accessible to local residents, particularly younger people,â€? said Jeremy Smith, the RVYC Commodore. â€œWhile participation levels in both racing and cruising are the highest they have been in over a decade, the club has noticed that with changes in demographics and economics, there are fewer junior sailors staying on as young adult members, and the average age of members continues to increase every year.â€? The club is taking steps to reverse this trend in an attempt to return to a more even and sustainable age distribution. To achieve its goal, the club is promoting boating activities that will appeal to all ages and has even reduced fees for younger members. The club has a fleet of sailboats available for use by its members, ranging from sporty dinghies to stable 24-foot keelboats, making sailing accessible to members that donâ€™t have a boat. The club also offers summer youth and adult sailing les

Walking, cycling priorities â€œThis (discussion will give) us the opportunity to learn more (and the policy) will open us up to external funding opportunities,â€? said Kirby. Priorities for the policy are walking, cycling, public transit, high occupancy vehicles and movement of goods; and single occupancy vehicles. It aims to make streets safe, comfortable and convenient. â€œI know there are going to be

very strong views on this, so we need a good thorough debate,â€? said mayor Nils Jensen. Jensen also indicated that the project advisory team has already requested that the School District board consider undertaking a traffic study in relation to the new Oak Bay High school. Public input is welcome at the Committee of the Whole meeting to be held in the municipal hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave., June 18 at 7 p.m. editor@oakbaynews.com

It is an absolutely perfect recreational activity for families.â€? The open house will allow anyone with an interest in boating to enjoy the club for the day and

learn more about it. Programs include sailing classes for young and old (also open to non-members), year-round youth and allage racing, cruising, kayaking, and more. The open house includes tours and on-the-water demonstrations, as well as hot dogs and activities for kids and a draw for prizes. The event takes place on Saturday, June 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., The Royal Victoria Yacht Club is located at 3475 Ripon Rd., just off Beach Drive.

OUR VIEW

Don’t feel too sorry for Fido It is time to reevaluate our relationship with the animals around us. From our beloved pets to the wild rabbits, deer and feral cats that wander our neighbourhoods, each of us needs to decide where to draw the line. It is human nature to anthropomorphize – to give human characteristics to animals or objects in our lives. Many people dress their dogs in clothing, shod them in rubber boots on a rainy day or tuck them into pajamas at night. They celebrate doggy birthdays with cake and gifts, and phone pets during the day to talk to them over the answering machine so they don’t “feel lonely.” Others take their dogs with them wherever they go, appropriate or not. And if their pets are refused, as is the case on B.C. Transit buses, they argue their rights to have their canine companions given the same privileges as their human offspring. In this age of doggy day care, in which Canadians spend more than $9 billion a year on their pets, one risks being pegged as Cruella de Vil if you even suggest that there is a time and place for Fido. Dog lovers, of course, want to be able to have their pets accompany them as they desire. But what might be companionable for the owner, may be less than comfortable for the dog. A fireworks show is great fun for the family, but Rover might be happier at home away from the sound of explosions. A summer market is a great place to meet up with friends and enjoy browsing through stalls, but Fluffy might be more relaxed and refreshed by a walk in the park. Local beaches are a great place to commune with nature and watch the wild birds nest, feed and fly, but to many dogs it is but a buffet in waiting. Although we like to anthropomorphize, we do not assign human qualities to every object we encounter. If the overpopulation of deer were instead an overpopulation of rats or snakes, no doubt the Capital Regional District would be saving a lot of debate, not to mention money spent, on deciding what to do about the problem. We must remember that as humans we are the superior species, and as such we must make decisions based on what is best for us, even if that means our four-legged friends miss the picnic.

There is a time and place to bring our pets

flat out to develop the Horn River and Montney shale gas deposits in northeast B.C. I asked David Pryce, vicepresident of the Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers, why so much gas is being developed now. He said producers have made huge investments in B.C. shale gas drilling rights, and are in an international race to supply LNG to Asian countries where the price is currently four times higher than in North America. Whatever the domestic price, B.C. gas producers have to show LNG investors such as Mitsubishi and Korea Gas that they can fill a steady procession of LNG tankers at a competitive rate. If LNG doesn’t fly here, B.C.’s gas export market soon evaporates. Currently gas producers pay about $400 million a year in royalties, and that much again to buy up shale gas drilling rights. The industry already employs about 12,000 workers in B.C. The B.C. government has little choice but to redefine its climate targets. Instead of cutting domestic emissions, it will try to take credit for displacing coal power in Asia. Fortunately, B.C.’s main coal exports are for high-grade coal used in steel-making.

Pet pollution a nuisance Re: McNeill Bay going to the dogs (News, June 1). Expanded access to dogs in McNeill Bay will ensure more degradation of this precious, scenic and amazingly wild public beach and bay. Dog use is not excessive at present but already brings some nuisance and pollution. Current regulations are routinely ignored and never enforced. Human use is not heavy but most common in summer with walkers, kayakers, sun bathers, children at play, seaweed harvesting, sight seeing and wildlife viewing. Wildlife use is most abundant in winter with several species on and next to the beach including harlequin duck, American wigeon, bufflehead, great blue heron, bald eagle, black oystercatcher, schools of pacific herring and pacific sandlance, American mink, river otter and harbour seal. Whimbrels, short-billed dowitchers and at least one wandering tattler were there as well during the recent spring migration. Resident Glaucous-winged Gulls, Northwestern Crows and Canada Geese are common and less of a concern. Scenic McNeill Bay provides excellent and peaceful views of the very special Trial Islands, the Salish Sea and the Olympic Mountains. The south-facing bay is often filled with abundant sun. The low-lying winter sun reflected on the sea is particularly stimulating. Our waterfront and our beaches are very

precious and we should aim to use them thoughtfully and improve them, not to degrade and pollute them unnecessarily. They need our help, not our insults. Ideally and in all fairness to all and wildlife, they should be dog-free at least half of the time; yes, six months out of 12 each year. Dog parks are much needed but should not be located in prime oceanfront sites and other precious, threatened or endangered natural ecosystems that we are lucky to have in our city and that other cities would die to have within their limits. In light of the large and apparently everincreasing number of pets in our community, this is an important topic. We now need a new mind set on these matters. It is a simple question of numbers. I value our urban wildlife and as a former dog owner, I appreciate all points of view and want to be reasonable. I also know first hand what pet pollution and nuisance is all about.

Boating heroes save the day I wanted to acknowledge two men, nothing short of heroes in my mind, who rescued my sonin-law’s border collie at Cattle Point last week. While I was walking her, the dog swam out from the rocks chasing geese, then lost its bearings and headed out to sea. When they realized the situation, the owner and friend of the aluminum fishing boat,

Backyard, put their boat back in the water, motored out, came alongside the dog – who was by then nearly halfway between the boat ramp and the channel markers – and scooped it up, saving the day. When I asked their names and phone numbers to thank them in some way, as we returned to the boat ramp, they just shrugged, smiled and told me that I was kindly welcome.

What a stroke of luck for Pixie, the young border collie, that those two men were on hand. Pixie has definitely used up one of the lives that dogs, never mind cats, have. The two men joked that they hadn’t caught any fish that day but at least they didn’t come back empty-handed. Angela Lees Oak Bay

Honesty and kindness is valued Through the medium of the Oak Bay News I want to express my sincere gratitude to the gentleman who found and returned my wedding ring, which slipped off my finger in the shower at the recreation centre about a week ago. Since the loss occurred just a few days after my 62nd wedding anniversary, this was a

devastating loss, and it was a tremendous relief to receive the phone call telling me that the ring had been found and turned in. The gentleman did not leave his name so I hope this letter will let him know how much I appreciate his kindness. Howard Evans Oak Bay

NOTICE OF INTENT RE: LIQUOR CONTROL & LICENSING ACT PATRON PARTICIPATION ENTERTAINMENT FOR FOOD PRIMARY LICENCE An application has been received by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch, Victoria, BC, from Bison Properties Ltd., operating the Oak Bay Beach Hotel at 1175 Beach Drive, Oak Bay, BC, to allow for patron participation entertainment.

Police service makes tax bill worth it A few weeks ago, I, along with many other Oak Bay residents, grimaced when I received my property tax notice in the mail. I may have even made a few under-the-breath mutterings. But today I feel a little – no, a lot – better about paying my municipal taxes. Last night, someone went through our car looking for anything worth stealing. All they made off with was a bag of mints and the remote control for the garage door. Clearly, they plan to return. I called the Oak Bay police and

within 20 minutes, Const. Art Goodwin arrived at my door. He spent the next half hour patiently showing me how to disassemble the garage door opener and reset the code. About 15 minutes after he left, Const. Goodwin called me. He had been writing up the incident report when he noticed my birthday was in a few days. He suggested that if my husband needed a gift idea, he might consider a new motion-sensitive light for the front porch. He then wished me a happy birthday in advance

and rang off. That personal touch had me smiling all day. We will install a new light this weekend. Thank you to Const. Goodwin and the Oak Bay police, for the prompt and efficient service and friendly advice. Yes, property taxes are a bitter pill to swallow, but one thing I hadn’t factored in before today was that I’m getting something extra for my tax dollars – peace of mind, and that’s worth a lot.

Markers can be dangerous On June 8 police responded to a report of a â€œrocketâ€? that was found on a beach in south Oak Bay. The person who found the device immediately contacted police and did not touch it. Police identified it as a marine location marker. The Fleet Dive Unit out of CFB Esquimalt was contacted and they safely

removed the device. â€œThese devices do find their way to our beaches, and the public are asked not to touch or move them but to call their local police department,â€? said acting Sgt. Angus Wagnell.

Money-back scam returns On June 9 police received a report of an individual who was attempting to buy an item over the Internet. A potential buyer

contacted the seller and expressed interest in purchasing the item. The buyer then sent the seller a fake bank draft for a substantially larger amount of money. The buyer asked the seller to cash the cheque and return the difference to them. â€œThis is a common scam and thankfully the seller did not fall for this one,â€? said Wagnell. â€œIf you are in a similar situation and you feel something is not right then trust your instincts.â€?

Oak Bay could host Island Oak Bay could host hundreds of politicians in the not-too-distant future. Council agreed to express interest in hosting the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities AGM and convention in 2014, 2015 or 2016. The AVICC was established in 1950. It now has a membership of 51 municipalities and regional districts that stretch from the Central Coast Regional District to the tip of Vancouver Island and includes Powell River and the Sunshine Coast. The association deals with issues and concerns that affect

large urban areas and small rural communities. The AGM and convention, held every April, provide members with the opportunity to bring forward issues and concerns from their communities through resolutions and debates. If held in Oak Bay, facilities such as the Monterey Recreation Centre and Oak Bay Beach Hotel would be used to host meetings and conference sessions. The 2012 AGM was held in Uclulet, April 13 through 15. Oak Bay last hosted the AVICC convention and AGM in 2006. editor@oakbaynews.com

As a means to achieve the perfect bronzed glow, tanning beds have become the latest craze over the last few years. What people may not factor in is the tanning devices, just like the sun, emit harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays. Besides the risk of skin cancer, these rays, after prolonged exposure, can damage your cornea and may cause cataracts or macular degeneration. For optimal tanning bed eye safety, make sure you wear protective goggles that cover and ﬁt snugly over your eyes. If you use the salon’s goggles, be sure they have been sterilized to prevent infection. Also, be sure to remove contact lenses before tanning. Remember closing your eyes, wearing sunglasses, or using cotton pads to cover your eyelids will not prevent harmful UV rays from ﬁltering through and causing damage to your eyes. A great tan is not worth the risk of ruining your eyesight.

Artists supporting artists at Coast Collective Coast Collective is bursting at the seams with inspiration

though they were part of a community. A fifth organizer got involved, the community grew and the collective ended up with 10,000 visitors in its first two years. “We’d all been a part of guilds and organizations and they move so slowly when somebody gets an idea,” Rodstrom said. “So, it was, ‘we’d like to do something but have things move faster, make decisions quickly, not go through months and months of debate and things like that.’ And really, that’s how it got to be as big as it is so quickly.” The location, the scenery, the art and the spirit of the place all come together to form something of a mecca for artists, that encourages, teaches, showcases and inspires everyone, including the visitors. “A visitor that comes to an arts centre obviously has something in them that they want to create,” Rostrom said. “So when they come here … they go away thinking they’re going to get creative or take a class or do something. So I think we spur people on all the time.”

Kyle Wells News staff

Working out of one small office in a heritage house, the five women of Coast Collective help organize and support the work of nearly 300 artists. Everything from paintings to pottery to CDs to handmade toys and pretty much anything else you can imagine, can be found in every nook and cranny of the collective’s home and gift shop at Pendray House in Colwood. Old closets have been converted into shelving for displays, the collection is spread throughout multiple rooms and you can hardly see the walls from all that hang on them. But it works. “It all just fit so well,” said Terri Rodstrom, director. “It’s such a great destination and I’m so proud of everybody and how it all works together.”

Kyle Wells/News staff

Terri Rodstrom is one of five women who run Colwood's Coast Collective which houses a gallery, gift shop, classes, artists' studios and has become something of a community for artists. Four years ago Rodstrom and three other artists started the collective out of a desire to create a place for artists that was truly for

artists. It was to be a place where artists could display and sell their works, network with other artists, learn from one another and feel as

Nine artists have studios on site, including potter Belle Leon and photovoltaic glass artist Sandra Fowler. Classes and workshops are also held in the space. In the gallery, which was the original enormous dining room in the house, the collective hosts its more official shows. Shows rotate every two or three weeks and are sometimes juried selections, sometimes by invitation only and at other times, the space is rented by a particular artist to display their works. At present, the gallery is booked for shows until the end of 2013. Until June 17, the gallery is home to Variations, an invitation-only collection of artists with a wide variety of styles and mediums, including painter Mark Heine and found-object metal artist Karen Lancey. “We’re artists. We like representing artists. We like hanging work,” Rodstrom said. “It’s fun. Who wouldn’t want to do it?” The Coast Collective Art Gallery is open Wednesday to Sunday, noon to 5 p.m at 3221 Heatherbell Rd., Colwood. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Art at Abkhazi Tea and scones, too

University of Victoria in the early 1980s. It wasn't until she took early retirement in 1999 that she returned to painting. Although she's been part of several local shows, the one in the Abkhazi Garden tearoom is her first solo show. The exhibit runs until July 1 in the Garden tearoom, 1964 Fairfield Rd., which is open for lunch, 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and for afternoon tea from 2 to 3:30. Admission to the garden is $10.

The romantic story that is the basis of the Abkhazi Garden as well as the garden itself is what inspired Betsy Tumasonis to complete six acrylic works of the garden in bloom. Tumasonis majored in visual art at the College of William and Mary in Virginia but put it aside when she became an art and history professor at the

The Starlight Pops Choir presents Country Goes POP! St. Aidan’s United Church this Friday and Sunday, June 15 and 17.

Pops turn on the twang Dolores Bell Contributor

Singing is good for the brain, say the members of Starlight Pops Choir. Choristers are required to memorize at least a dozen songs for each of their twice-yearly concert series, so a minimum of two dozen new songs is added to their repertoire each year. The singers may – and often do – moan and groan about all the work involved, but they realized that the benefits outweigh the workload. “Certainly, because you have to memorize not only the words and the tune, but also the timing and the dynamics,” said soprano Claudia Logan. “The only potential problem is that you might lose some sleep with all those songs buzzing around in your head all night.” Choir members find that sing-

ing, especially when the songs are memorized, strengthens concentration. The choir’s repertoire is sung in four-part harmony, and the memorization is much more difficult when the singer doesn’t have the melody line. Additionally, there are all the other components that go into preparing for a performance. “I find singing spiritually uplifting, something that can change a sullen mood to happiness,” said soprano Gillian Lawton. “On a dreary Tuesday evening when I really don’t want to leave home, I drag myself to choir and in no time, I feel the joy.” Committing all the songs to memory frees the singers to interact more fully with their songs and with their audiences. “Even if you’re not the world’s biggest country music fan, there’s lots to enjoy with this concert,” said Sue Doman,

founder and director of Starlight Pops Choir. “We’ve got classic hits by Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Hank Williams and Elvis Presley, as well as great tunes by newer artists like Shania Twain, Travis Tritt, Carrie Underwood … and The Soggy Bottom Boys.” Starlight Pops Choir is supported by a four-piece combo, and the concert includes special performances by small ensembles and soloists including a solo by Doman herself, an accomplished vocalist. Starlight Pops Choir presents Country Goes POP! Friday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday, June 17 at 2:30 p.m. at St. Aidan’s United Church, 3703 St. Aidan’s St. Tickets are $20 for adults and $18 for seniors and students, and are available at the door (cash only).

The performance includes special guests, the students of ‘Ecole Willows elementary school’s Division 3 and Central Lt.-Gov. Middle school, Point directed by Marianne Ing along with the Commodores Big Band. There will be a few surprises in this concert as well as familiar work including Ian Tyson’s Four Strong Winds and Connie Kaldor’s Wood River. The Victoria Good News Choir will be performing God Grant Me A Sign, written by Lieutenant Governor Steven Point and arranged by Louise Rose. They will also perform British

Columbia, also written by Point. In collaboration with local musicians, Point released a CD, A Dedication to the People of British Columbia. Point has given the CD to the Salvation Army with proceeds to go to the establishment of a recovery house for young women. When Point was touring the Salvation Army Beacon of Hope Steven House in Victoria, an addiction recovery centre for young men, he spoke about a similar facility for young women recovering from addiction. The Salvation Army took his suggestion to heart and securing funds for the Beacon of Light House is underway. When Point heard the Salvation Army was going forward with the project, he felt it was important to contribute in some way. He had written two songs and

decided to make them available through the Salvation Army as a way to raise awareness about the recovery centre. A Dedication to the People of British Columbia features two songs, both with music and lyrics by the Lieutenant Governor. The first track, British Columbia features musical arrangements by the Naden Band of Maritime Forces Pacific. The Victoria Good News Choir provides the vocals and the Unity Drummers and singers provide the drumming. God Grant Me A Sign features vocals by the Lt-Gov. and the Victoria Good News Choir. The four part choral arrangement of this song was written by Louise Rose. Copies of the CD will be available by donation at the O, Canada, É? concerts. Call 250-6581946 to reserve tickets, $15 for adults and $5 for children under 12. They are available at Ivy’s Book Shop, Long & McQuade, Larsen Music and at the door. llavin@vicnews.com

Braves captain Ty Jones. “Jones was so consistent in his production and work ethic and I played him in all situations.” It’s hard to argue with the effect Jones had on the Braves’ youth and inexperience, and how important he was down the stretch, the coach said. “It’s rare you see a player win games single-handedly, but Jones did that,” Cook added. “It’s not always the ideal way to

Ty Jones carried a young Saanich Braves team to within one goal of the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League final. For his efforts he was awarded the Jamie Benn Trophy as the league’s most valuable player. The delayed awards were finally released on June 7. The MVP was one of two trophies for Jones. The 19-year-old Braves captain also tied Victoria Cougars forward Steven Axford with 75 points for the Doug Morton Trophy as the league’s top scorer. “I was assuming (Jones) would be considered,” Braves coach Brad Cook said.

win, but that said, he was that good.” Even more exciting than Jones winning MVP is his return for the 2012-13 season as a 20-year-old, leaving an NCAA Div. 3 offer on the table. The Braves will likely lose Sam McMullen and Sean McBride to junior A, and Jack Palmer to the Western League’s Brandon Wheat Kings. Palmer won the Larry Lamoureaux rookie of the year award. The Cyclone Taylor Cup finalist Cougars earned a lions’ share of the awards for its exceptional season with just six losses in 42 games. Evan Roch won goaltender of the year award, captain Brody Coulter won the top forward award, and Mark Van Helvoirt won coach of the year for his role in leading the Cougars to a franchise-best 36 wins. sports@vicnews.com

Visiting rugby squad Burnaby Lighthouse won the third annual Buccaneer 7s tournament at Bullen Park in Esquimalt on Saturday. Burnaby Lighthouse, featuring players from the Burnaby Lake rugby club, defeated the South Seas in the final. The latter team is a mix of Velox Valhallians and Castaway Wanderers players. The tournament is the second of three B.C. Rugby Sevens series stops in Victoria. The next tour stop is the Vancouver Rugby 7s on Saturday (June 16), while the next tourney here is the Victoria International 7s, July 13 and 14 at UVic’s Centennial Stadium. The Victoria and Serevi Vancouver International 7s tourneys are hallmark events of the series, and

will feature two of the greatest rugby sevens players: Waisale Serevi of Fiji, and the International Rugby Board’s all-time leading sevens scorer, Ben Gollings, of England. The Esquimalt-based Buccaneer 7s festival is one of many achievements outgoing James Bay Athletic Association president Tom Woods made during his 10-year term. The former national player also helped bring the French Barbarians to Bullen Park against Canada in 2008. Former national player Hans de Goede, a Vic High grad and longtime Bays member, takes over for Woods. sports@vicnews.com

Oak Bay surfer second at the Stew Oak Bay’s surferon-the-rise, Hanna Scott, placed second in the short board category of the Tofino Rip Curl Pro, June 9 and 10. The event “evolved” to pro status this year from its former name, the Rip Curl Stew, which comes from the mix of swell stirred up in the waters of Cox Bay, where the competition is held. Scott took home $500 for second, with the winner Leia Oak pocketing $1,500. These days Scott lives full time in Tofino

and works as an instructor. The 21-year-old recently won both the shortand long-board events at the Clean Water Classic in Westport, Wash., in May. Sponsors keep Scott outfitted with new gear, but the Oak Bay High grad would like a little more money if she’s going to join the Association of Surfing Professionals, her family said.

Rower finishes first with Stanford women Liz Fenje is an AllAmerican rower for the second time in her Stanford University athletic career. The St. Michaels University School grad helped her Stan-

ford women’s lightweight eight boat to its third consecutive Intercollegiate Rowing Association championship (the IRA exists because the NCAA includes only a select few boats). The 21-year-old is currently in London, Ont., trying to represent Canada at the under-23 world championships for the third time, in Lithuania in July.

All proceeds will go to support upand-coming cyclists in Canada and to promote the sport through the Ryders Cycling Society of Canada. “It’s only slightly worn – although it is for a buyer who doesn’t mind champagne stains,” said Cody Graham, director of the Ryders society and friend of Hesjedal’s.

Fairway Market vice-president Robert Jay, president and CEO Doug Yuen and buyer/advertiser Ted Turner presented the David Foster Foundation’s Kathy Baan, director of family relations and communications, and Mel Cooper, honourary director and special advisor, with a fundraising cheque for $86,817.

Fairway Market gives back to families in need Thanks to the support of customers, suppliers and staff, Fairway Market presented a cheque last Friday to the David Foster Foundation for $86,817. The cheque represents the culmination of the local grocery’s successful three-week fundraising campaign for the foundation, which provides financial support to Canadian families with children in need of life-saving organ transplants. “It all goes to a great cause,” said Fairway Market vice-president Robert Jay. “Fairway is always involved in the

community and wants to give back. Families are a good fit for us as we see generations coming to our stores.” Mel Cooper, David Foster Foundation’s honourary director and special advisor, said the fact Fairway is nearing its 50th anniversary in Victoria is timely. “It shows the importance of local support. This is where we began as the David Foster Foundation 25 years ago (and) now, as a national foundation, our need for support is greater than ever before.”
