New federal ridings split West Shore
Langford, Highlands join majority of Cowichan Valley Kyle Wells News staff

Hanging up his hat Colwood fire Chief Russ Cameron is getting ready to hang up his helmet after providing more than 35 years of service and nearly 25 years as chief. His last day of work will be Sept. 30. See story page A17.
New federal ridings for B.C. have been finalized, with the new borders lumping in Langford and Highlands with the Cowichan Valley. The new Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding, which roughly includes North Cowichan, Lake Cowichan and areas south of that, will be introduced for the 2015 federal election. The riding also includes areas of the Greater Victoria, including Highlands, Langford and areas northerly of Sooke and Metchosin The rest of the West Shore, including View Royal, Colwood and Metchosin, will be a part of the newly named Saanich-EsquimaltJuan de Fuca riding. “We made our input about what we would like to see happen and they made their decisions, so we’ll work with what’s there now,” said Randall Garrison, MP for EsquimaltGarrison, MP Randall Juan de Fuca. The riding lines have been tweaked since the initial proposal, which divided some municipalities such as Colwood and Langford. The final ridings do follow municipal boundary lines. “I don’t think I have major concerns. They had to make tough decisions about how to get a new seat onto the Island and they’ve done what they think is best,” Garrison said. “Apart from Langford and the Highlands leaving, it’s not a lot of change.” Current Nanaimo-Cowichan NDP MP Jean Crowder said with the new boundaries she’s unsure of which riding she will run in. “We did make some presentations to the riding boundary commission, particularly in the initial proposal,” Crowder said. “The (commission) has a tough job to do because they’re trying to balance the numbers and the communities of interest.” - with files from Peter Rusland kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin artist bows into bow tie business Charla Huber News staff
Charla Huber/News staff
Mairi Borhill, 21 months, watches her grandma Charmaine Welch assemble a bow tie. The Metchosin resident has turned her love of sewing into a bustling bow tie business.
Each day Charmaine Welch struggles with what bow tie to wear, often resorting to her favourite – Cat in Hat. Welch has been making bow ties for two and a half years ever since she stumbled upon a bow tie pattern, gathered up some scraps and went to work. “Anyone who sews knows that fabric stashes just happen,” Welch said. While it was new and a novelty, Welch never expected bow ties would take over her life. “Now I am just addicted to them,” said the Metchosin resident. She had a little store on the craft website Etsy. She was selling apple cozies and baby booties and figured she’d throw her bow tie online too. At first she would sell a bow tie here and there and that was all fun for her. One day she made a bow tie using fabric with a Superman comic strip pattern and put a photo of it on her virtual shop. “That’s the one that sold the ship for me,” she said excitedly. “Overnight I sold eight and then in three days I sold 17.” Drawn to the flashy pattern, bloggers found her bow tie and shared it on their blogs, including 67 times on Tumblr. With the ball now rolling, Welch
is busy making bow ties for orders she’s received from 25 countries. In June she quit her job at Save-onFoods to work on her business, Sew Fairy Cute, full time. “I’ve always wanted to work for myself and now with great spirit I can run with this,” she said. Through this business she has learned a lot and found her most popular bow ties are ones with super heroes on them. So far she’s even filled large orders of superhero bow ties for superhero-themed weddings. “Most weddings have Spiderman, Batman and Captain American,” she said, adding clients from the United States have more superhero weddings than anywhere else. Running her business has taught her a lot more than just sewing, she has had to learn to be computer savvy and learn about displays and marketing. “I am very creative. There is a difference between being creative and artistic,” said Welch. She makes bow ties for both children and adults, but adults sizes sell much faster. Her biggest sellers are clip ons, but she also makes pre-tied with an adjustable strap and freestyle bows as well. “I really want to get everyone in Canada wearing bow ties,” Welch said. For more information go to Welch’s Etsy store at http://www.etsy.com/ ca/people/sewfairycute.

Code of conduct already in place The City of Victoria’s proposed Code of Conduct for councillors, which would extend to advisory committees made up mainly of public citizens, has been criticized as being too broad and a threat to open, honest debate. While the Creating policy installation of a code was for behaviour sets such recommended during bad precedent past reviews of the city’s operations, there are already guidelines in place to cover off such things as maintaining decorum, showing respect to others and the process of civic government. Roberts Rules of Order, the B.C. Community Charter, and even to a degree, the Local Government Act already give members of publicly elected bodies an outline for keeping things moving in a respectful way. While Vancouver and other jurisdictions in B.C. have put similar codes in place, councils around the Capital Region seem to be getting along fine without one, relying instead on common sense and the tools already in place to handle issues as they arise. Without a doubt other councils will be watching closely what happens in Victoria. We wonder whether this move is driven by a need to follow recommendations made by outside agencies, as Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin indicates, or intolerance for a fellow councillor’s way of operating at the council table. Regardless, the city can scarcely afford to spend time and funds on creating a program when it has more pressing matters on its plate. The chair of any meeting is expected to keep things on track and call others out if they stray outside the bounds of proper behaviour. In this case, Mayor Fortin would be advised to use the tools at his disposal. If there are continuing problems with decorum or appropriate behaviour, he has every right to use his position to take corrective action. At the very least, a serious conversation between the mayor and any offending individual would go further than a needless policy. What do you think?

Saanich is home to the University of Victoria, a community of 25,000 people that needs water and sewer service, as well as police and fire protection. Saanich gets an annual grant in lieu of property taxes of $120,000 for UVic, enough to cover wages and benefits for one cop and maybe some gas money. Cariboo Regional District chair Al Richmond, co-chair of the UBCM committee, is concerned about new water and flood protection legislation the province is preparing to impose. His district and others like it have thousands of kilometres of riverfront, with relatively few property owners. Interior communities also want B.C.

Liberal government. Former Quesnel councillor Coralee Oakes is the new community, sport and cultural development minister, with direct responsibility for local government issues. And one of the original members of this UBCM committee was former Langley City mayor Peter Fassbender, who is now minister of education.

LETTERS Taking the urgency out of traffic safety in View Royal causes resident concern The Town of View Royal says it considers traffic safety to be a high priority. So how does a “high priority” become a drawn-out, unhurried approach to traffic calming? First, the council of View Royal encourages bringing these issues to the town’s attention. So in July of last year, it was raised to the engineering department that on upper Chilco Road there is a dangerous mix of heavier traffic from more residents and construction crews, an incline to the road, residences on both sides, many families with young children and a park that is open to the street. After this, a letter was sent to council in September, with a resolution being passed in September 2012, to refer this concern to staff to investigate traffic calming solutions. Fast forward to March of this year, and a second letter noting that six months after the resolution was made, there was no action taken. From this, we get yet another resolution from council in April referring the concern back
to staff who was apparently preparing a traffic calming policy at the time. Jump forward to today, and what has the town done? Nothing. No speed bumps or other response. So we continue to see ever more cars and trucks on upper Chilco Road with high speeds on a downward sloped street, past children playing and families walking, in a town that proclaims traffic safety and calming as a high priority.

Classic car enthusiasts enjoying a welcoming atmosphere in Langford My wife Claire and I have been regular attendees at Francelli’s informal car shows at Royal Oak Shopping Centre for several years and drive a vintage car that is all original and unmodified. This gathering of vehicles was attended by a wide vari-
ety of cars including classics like Packards and restored Model Ts, and, of course, modified vehicles. It was an eclectic blend of automotive history - art on wheels. In addition to the ever changing milieu of automotive history there was the large number of the public who came down to view the historical cars and trucks, and spend their money at the merchant’s stores. This influx of people spurred the complaints from a minority of the merchants who are now are enjoying the solitude of their empty parking lot hoping that new customers will arrive, preferably by public transport so that their precious parking lot remain blissfully empty. We are now enjoying the welcoming atmosphere created by Mayor Stew Young of Langford with live music and delicious barbecued hamburgers wrapped in the ambiance of the beautifully landscaped Goldstream Avenue. Perhaps we will drive by the old site to revisit fond memories and check for tumbleweed blowing across the empty landscape. Jim Cain Saanich

son Doug, who at the age of two was diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The disease means Doug, now 10, is slowly losing muscle strength. Both Cam and Doug came out to take part in the inaugural Langford event. Cam rode his motorcycle on the route with Doug strapped to his waist with a special harness, as he is unable to hold on to his dad for the ride. “He straps on behind Dad, it’s pretty cool,” said deputy chief Kerry Zado. “He’s very shy, very quiet, but he’s got that dry sense of humour. He’s funny without trying to be funny. It was pretty cool.” The riders covered 120 kilometres and rode through eight municipalities, with three check points and a wind up barbecue. Muscular dystrophy is the cause of choice for firefighters across Canada, with more than 600 fire departments and associations across the country holding events and raising money to fight the disease. Langford firefighters raised $411.59 cents with the event. Zado admits that with four motorcycles participating the turnout wasn’t quite what he hoped it would be. But he’s made a pledge to get at least 25 riders out next year and is already making phone calls to round up the troops. “(Langley) started with 17 and they’re up to 110,” Zado said. “Definitely next year is going to be better.” kwells@goldstream gazette.com

Golf helps to give back Kyle Wells News staff
A golf tournament at Bear Mountain is looking to raise money for those who so often lend a hand for others. The B.C. Hospitality Foundation is hosting its first Memorial Golf Tournament to raise money to support people in the hospitality industry who fall into financial difficulties, usually as a result of health issues. “It’s really the only charity that helps people in our own industry,” said Natahan Pearce, chair of the golf committee. “We do a lot in our communities for other people. … We’re always putting out, doing things for these other charities, but in our industry we don’t do a lot for ourselves.” Pearce, also the director of food and beverage at Fairmont Empress Hotel, said often people in the industry aren’t properly insured or don’t have full benefits if they work for some of the smaller businesses. When an ailment hits it can be a hard time for many. “Here the foundation isn’t really known about, not a lot of people talk about it,” Pearce said. “Even though it has some of the most beneficiaries, dollar wise. We help out a lot of people on the Island.”
Over the past six years the organization has provided approximately $250,000 in support to more than 40 people, including people in Victoria, Nanaimo and other Island locations. Recently the organization helped out Victoria’s Driftwood Brewery head brewer Tim Fukushima with a cheque for $3,000, after a Leukemia diagnosis in February. Sara Craig, a chef at the Harbour Towers Hotel and Suites in Victoria, was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in 2011 and received aid to the tune of $13,000 from the foundation. All funds given by the foundation match money earned through fundraising by the individual or the business where they work. The tournament is also a memorial, with many holes dedicated to people from the industry who have died. Many members of management and general managers from local hotels will be taking part in the tournament, along with anybody else who wants to take part. Registration is open until Sept. 15 and can be done online at bchospitalityfoundation.com. The tournament is on Monday, Sept. 16, with a shotgun start at 1 p.m. The cost is $145 per golfer or $499 for a foursome, which includes a golf cart, barbecue and prizes. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

fter only two years on the street, the Victoria Chalk Art Festival is already the largest festival of its kind in Canada. The festival is growing by leaps and bounds this year, with almost 30 local artists and 16 international artists participating. This year, the festival has a theme, focusing on celebrating the art and culture of B.C.’s First Nations. Even the international artists have taken on the challenge. This year’s feature artist is Leon Keer of the Netherlands. He begins working on a 20-by20-foot 3D chalk painting on the lower level of The Bay Centre Wednesday morning. “He’s doing a salute to B.C. First Nations as well,” says Chalk Fest executive director John Vickers. “In the design you will see a Monopoly game as the border of the painting. The streets are replaced by B.C. locations which carry First Nation names. From out of the middle you will not only see some beautiful trees arise from the depths, but also the Industry that is present. It is a kind of metaphor for the struggle and sacrifice which the First Nations have to make to be able to move forward and live in harmony with everybody who is present nowadays in their habitat,” Keer writes by email. Keer will work on his painting in Zone 3 (Bay Centre) from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. His anamorphic art will be finished by the end of the weekend and will remain on display until Sept. 30. Government Street (Zone 2) will be closed
from Fort to Yates streets from 4 a.m. Saturday to 9 p.m. Sunday. More than 30 local artists, some of whom are trying chalk art for the first time, will each get 8-by-10-foot “canvases” to work on right on the street. Artists will be finished painting by 6 p.m., leaving three hours for people to come down and view the finished products before the street reopens to vehicles. Centennial Square (Zone 1) will be open 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday with international artists live painting in the square, accompanied by entertainment from First Nations dancers, singers and drummers, and other local musicians, beginning each day at noon. Centennial Square is also home to the kids zone where children have access to thousands of pieces of chalk to design their own street art masterpieces, food vendors and an artisans’ marketplace. As a special treat, Kurt Wenner, an internationally acclaimed chalk artist who founded anamorphic or 3D chalk art will be on hand Saturday in Zone 2 at Munro’s Books (1180 Government) from 2-3 p.m., where he’ll be signing copies of his book Asphalt Renaissance — a sure sign that Victoria is now on the international chalk art map. Vista, California’s Lori Escalara, who is a featured artist at this year’s festival is also hosting a tutorial Thursday, Sept. 12 at 7 p.m. at the Delta Ocean Pointe. Any local artists who want to try their hands at creating chalk art during the festival can register for the workshop at victoriachalkfestival.com. For complete event listings, pick up a copy of the Victoria International Chalk Art Festival program at the information kiosk at The Bay Centre and check out victoriachalkfestival. com.

Reptiles at Luxton Charla Huber News staff
There will be a new type of fair-goer at this year’s Luxton Fall Fair. More than 20 reptiles will be at the fair for the first time. The largest of the crew is an eightfoot boa constrictor named Faith. She will also be joined by a ball python, two tortoises and a bearded dragon. “We really want to have it feel like a world tour and will have reptiles from Australia, South America, North America and Africa,” said Jason Clevett, owner of Canadian Reptile Encounters. Live creatures, bones and skulls will be on display, along with amazing facts and photos of several animals, including Mexican rat snakes. “The snakes adapt to hanging upside down and catching bats in the air,” said Clevett. Admission to the reptile display is $4 for adults, $3 for children and $10 for a family of four. Also at the fair this year will be the Remote Control Model Vehicle Extravaganza. Events will include tough trucks, rock crawlers and drag races.
Come down and watch the show or enter your own remote control vehicle in either the non-competitive or competitive class. “Now it seems every kid has one of these toys. This is great for the family,” said Ian McKenzie, fair volunteer/organizer. The event was added to replace the tough trucks show which was becoming too costly to run and too much work to clean up afterwards, McKenzie said. Some other wellloved fall fair favourites include the chainsaw carvers, live music and the midway. As always, the antique tractors, grain threshing and old-fashioned bucket making will also be on display. The midway will open for a sneak preview on Thursday, Sept. 12 at 5 p.m. The fairgrounds open Friday, Sept. 14 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. On Saturday and Sunday the grounds open at 9 a.m. with a pancake breakfast and all the exhibits will be open at 10 a.m. For more information go to www.luxtonfair.ca. charla@goldstream gazette.com

Next in line for Colwood chief Kerry Smith, Colwood Fire Rescue’s deputy chief, will be taking over the reins of the department at end of day Monday, Sept. 30. Smith has been with the department for decades. “I have worked hand-in-hand with Chief Cameron for 23 years,” said Smith. “The day-to-day interaction will certainly be missed.” The two men have worked together for so long and have such similar views on the department’s operations, Smith said there won’t be a lot changes made. “Chief Cameron has taught me to pay attention to detail, to be myself and hold myself accountable,” Smith said. The department has seven career and 30 volunteer firefighters.

With his retirement approaching all Cameron has planned is some “rest and relaxation,” he said. “I am going to pursue other interests and I have lots of hobbies.” With more time on his hands Cameron is really excited to put more hours into restoring his antique vehicles. He has a 1926 Model-T and a 1930 Model-A. He will also be spending more time at his cabin on Cowichan Lake. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Couple reunited with stolen truck Kyle Wells News staff
A couple who had their truck and most of their worldly possessions stolen from a hotel parking lot in Langford have been reunited with their vehicle and some of their goods. Ryan Barber and Vivian Pattison are moving from the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii) to Victoria, and were staying overnight on Monday, Sept. 2 in the Sheraton Four Points Hotel in Langford. They awoke in the morning to find their 1995 Nissan truck missing, along with all of their belongings inside. “Just unreal. You don’t expect your vehicle to disappear, the whole thing,” Pattison said. Media picked up the story quickly and sparked reaction from the community. At about 6:40 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 4, West Shore RCMP received a call from a resident in the Luxton fairgrounds area who said a red truck that looked like one they had seen on the news was parked on the road near their home. Police went to take and look and determined it was the vehicle. On Thursday the couple came to Westshore Towing to reunite with their truck and see what of their belongings remained. “It’s a much better turn out than
we expected,” Barber said. “I didn’t expect to see any of it again really.” “We were OK with nothing coming back and it’s better if something did,” Pattison said. The truck is in fine condition and many items remain, including a surf board, the couples’ wetsuits, some ammunition and many of their personal items, including their passports, unfortunately already cancelled by the couple for safety. Still missing from the truck are bicycles, a violin, two duffel bags and backpacks full of clothing, camping equipment, sleeping bags and a chainsaw. A Tikka T3 270 bolt-action rifle was also stolen. “What they wanted to take was taken and then what was left was left,” West Shore RCMP spokesperson Corp. Kathy Rochlitz said. Rochlitz said the fact the rifle is still missing is a concern and the police will continue to investigate the disappearance of the weapon. If there is a lesson to be learned, the pair said it’s not to leave anything you value in your vehicle, even outside a hotel. The couple say they were shocked by the media response and the outpouring from the community. “It’s amazing. … It’s kind of overwhelming actually,” Barber said. “Thank you, thank you. This is fantastic.” kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer. The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond. Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together. Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly. Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead. Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together. Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems. Symptoms include: losing their place while reading; avoiding close work; holding reading material closer than normal; tending to rub their eyes often; complaining of headaches; turning or tilting head and appearing to use one eye only; making frequent transpositions of letters or words when reading or writing; omitting small words when reading; consistently performing below the level of their peer group. Since vision changes can occur without anyone noticing, children should visit the Optometrist at least every two years. More frequent visits may be necessary if specific problems or risk factors exist. The doctor can prescribe treatment if needed. Remember, a school screening is not a substitute for a thorough eye examination.

Rock’n the memories Travis Paterson
League’s Champions Cup in 2012 and 2013, with the back-to-back NLL champion Rochester Knighthawks. Jamieson picked up three assists in Game 1 and three more assists and two goals in Game 2. “I’m glad the Mann Cup is a seven game series. It’s a championship atmosphere out there with the fan support. Although, I like it better when we have the lead and (the fans are) nice and quiet.” Jamieson is part of a contingent of Rochester Knighthawks players on both teams, along with Vinc. “Vinc is an all-world goalie and he didn’t give that title to himself,” said Jamieson. “Credit to Vinc, he was awesome, hopefully we can put more past him.” Chiefs coach Rich Kilgour said the Shamrocks’ speedy transition is as fast as any they’ve seen this year but not enough that the Chiefs can’t adjust. “(Game 1) they only got five goals so it’s not like they’re killing us in transition. We just have to play our game,” Kilgour said.
News staff
Jesse King will be watching Game 5 of the Mann Cup national lacrosse championship tonight via webcast, likely in a low-lit apartment somewhere near his Ohio State Buckeyes’campus. Face off is 7 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. It’s been two Mann Cup games since King flew the coup for his fourth year with the Buckeyes field lacrosse team. And it’s been three games since the 21-year-old call-up brought victory to the Victoria Shamrocks with his natural hat trick in less then five minutes of the third period. As of Monday the Shamrocks and Six Nations Chiefs were tied 1-1. For updates on Games 3 and 4 from Monday and Tuesday, respectively, visit vicnews.com. King was named the Shamrocks player of the game while Cody Jamieson, who might be the biggest biggame player going in lacrosse today, took that honour for the Chiefs. “It’s a dream come true. All I can say is I’m happy I got to play in the Mann Cup,” said King of contributing to the Shamrocks’ 5-4 win on Friday. The Chiefs out-dueled the Rocks 10-8 to even the series on Saturday night at one win apiece. “I never played at a level like this, never had a sniff of the (junior A national championship) Minto Cup, and now I’m playing for the Mann Cup. I have to thank the Shamrocks, hopefully I can stay here the rest of my life.” King made memories with his game winner on Friday, which came with 10 minutes left. Cory Conway passed it to King who headed for the net and scored on an over-theshoulder, behind-the-back shot which beat Chiefs goalie Evan Kirk.

Jesse King shoots during Game 2 of the Mann Cup lacrosse championship at Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday. The Shamrocks lost the game 10-8. “A lot of the time with a crappy angle like that, you just got to get the best shot off. I didn’t score a goal like that my whole junior career, I don’t know why I did that,” King said. King scored again on Saturday night but his NCAA status limited him to the weekend. On Sunday he returned to the Buckeyes. King will enter the Western Lacrosse Association draft next February and could end up drafted anywhere. “King did a phenomenal job,” Shamrocks coach Bob Heyes said. “We made
it (more) exciting (than it needed to be) for that last play of the game. We didn’t play a very good first two periods (Friday), but a good third and once again (goalie) Matt Vinc was great.” The stands have been packed with over 2,900 fans at each of the first two games alone. It feels like 4,900 when the Shamrocks score. From the Chiefs end, Cody Jamieson has been the superstar he’s purpoted to be. It’s the first Mann Cup for the playmkaer who was named MVP of the National Lacrosse
Green vs. green The Shamrocks love their green. The Six Nations Chiefs also wear green. Who knew? “(It’s) a little bit difficult with the uniforms, when guys are catching balls in traffic it’s a little tough see who has the ball,” Vinc said. That’s saying something as Vinc is formerly of the Chiefs. “I’ve played against (Chiefs attacker) Colin Doyle in the winter but I’ve been on the Chiefs and on Rochester for the last three seasons so I’ve actually never played against Jamieson and some of the other guys. We have to make it tough on them. Doesn’t matter if they know your tendencies, they’ve all scored before and will continue to do so.” sports@vicnews.com
Reynolds grad at wrestling worlds Travis Paterson News staff
This week’s vote to keep wrestling in the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo, Japan is good news for wrestlers world-wide. Saanich wrestling product Stacie Anaka is among that group. This week she’s in Hungary for the 2013 World Wrestling Championships in Budapest, Sept. 16 to 22.
Anaka, 26, is on an upward trend this season and a spot in the 2016 Olympics is beginning to look realistic. Fellow Canadian Carol Huynh won medals in the 2008 and 2012 Olympics, so if Anaka needed it, she has Tokyo as added motiviation. In April, Anaka won gold in the 67-kilogram class at the Pan American Games in Panama and in July she won bronze at the Universiade world university
games in Kazan. She wasn’t expecting to wrestle at the world championships this month as she was set on competing for Canada at the Francophone world games in Nice, France, Sept. 6 to 15. She was recently bumped to fourth in the world rankings in her class. Anaka, a former Reynolds and Victoria Bulldogs member, will compete in the worlds on Friday, Sept. 20. sports@vicnews.com

Ryder Hesjedal during Stage 2 of the 2013 Tour of Alberta from Devon to Red Deer.
Hesjedal up front at Tour of Alberta Travis Paterson News staff
Victoria’s hero of road cycling, Ryder Hesjedal, was in high demand during the inaugural Tour of Alberta, Sept. 3 to 8. Hesjedal was the face of the tour before it started and was back in the spotlight for his finish line gaffe on Stage 1 on Sept. 4. Though he was unable to fulfill Canadian hopes of winning the five-stage (plus prologue), 843-kilometre race, his team Garmin-Sharp was able to celebrate the win as Australian teammate Rohan Dennis took first in the general classification. Stage 1, which originated in Strathcona County (Edmonton), finished with three four-kilometre laps of Camrose. Hesjedal was leading the stage and celebrated the win prematurely as he thought he was done one lap too soon. He was caught and finished with the peloton instead. “It’s just a bike race and you move on,” said Hesjedal, shrugging it off during a media scrum after Stage 2 on Thursday. Regardless of the incident, the 2012 Giro d’Italia winner was a contributor to Garmin-Sharp’s overall success helping Dennis win. Hejsedal ended the tour 60th overall, 18 minutes and 39 seconds back of GC winner Dennis, who completed it in 17 hours, 48 minutes and 40 seconds. “This race has been on the schedule for a while, everyone was wondering what it was going to be like. It’s a new event and it’s what we’re used to, big time bike racing,” Hesjedal said. “It’s got lots of support and I’m sure we’ll see it on the calendar for a while.” Giving the Tour of Alberta a shot in the arm was the challenge of Peter Sagan, as the 23-yearold sprinting sensation and multiple Tour de France stage-winner was in the hunt for first in the GC by winning the opening 7.8 km prologue, an individual time trial, as well as Stages 1 and 5. He also placed third on Stage 2. But Garmin was able to capitalize on Sagan’s lack of teammates from Cannondale Pro Cycling. “It’s strength in numbers and Garmin (had) more riders than (Sagan’s) team,” Hesjedal said. The 2011 Tour de France winner Cadel Evans, a countryman of Dennis, won Stage 4. Hesjedal returns to the Island for the 2013 Tour de Victoria, Sept. 22. sports@vicnews.com

Road warrior hits 200,000 km Travis Paterson News staff
Ken Bonner might be Victoria’s preeminent cyclist. Not in terms of races, but in terms of distance. At the beginning of August Bonner, 70, hit a lifetime achievement by clocking kilometre number 200,000 on his cycling odometer. That’s 200,000 just for brevets, mind you, and it came at the end of the 1,200 km LondonEdinburgh-London brevet. Brevets, or randonneurs, are cycling marathons ranging from 300 to 1,200 km, and happen mostly in North America and Europe. The Oak Bay resident is addicted to them. “Actually it was 200,015 km after the London-EdinburghLondon,” he said. Since then he has completed the Granite Anvil 1,200 km in Ontario and the number continues to climb as he’s in Colorado today (Sept. 11) for the Colorado Last Chance 1,200 km. Departure time is 3 a.m. for the last brevet of the season. Meanwhile his total numbers on the Canadian Kilometre Achiever Program website are 312,439 km. The site is based on the honour system.

also looking to make the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon his lifetime 172nd marathon, but would like to see everyone ride brevets. And while it might seem like he’s speaking to beginners from a cycling pedastal, it’s worth noting he didn’t do a brevet until 1987, while in his forties. “Once you’re on a bike, it’s just a matter of tacking on a little more to each week’s ride,” he says. “Cycling is not like running and unlike anything else, as long as you pace yourself you can go a long way. People should know I average as low as 15 km per hour sometimes.” A quote he heard at the Granite Anvil is sticking with him these days. “Cycling is 90 per cent mental. The other 10 per cent, well that’s mental too.”

n Fairway Markets 50th Anniversary Celebration n Friday, September 6 n Inn at Laurel Point
Fairway Markets family celebrates golden milestone with friends and community Fairway Markets management were joined by members of the public last month as they marked their 50th anniversary in business in Greater Victoria. Yuen family members, who own and operate the popular grocery chain, reminisced about the last five decades and shared their dreams for the future with invited guests at the Inn at Laurel Point on Aug. 20. The company began with the store at Gorge and Tillicum roads and has shown tremendous growth in recent years, building its fleet to 10 stores on Vancouver Island. The company now employs nearly 800 people. Fairway founder Don Yuen, specifically, has been honoured with various awards for his accomplishments in business, including a lifetime achievement award from the Ethno Business Council of B.C. and a CFAX 1070 Community Award for Business Leader of the Year. In this special year celebrating 50 years of service to the community, Fairway showed its continued support for the Greater Victoria Dragon Boat Society through the Lights of Courage campaign.
