OB Beach Hotel partners with David Foster
Walkers give 7-figure donation to foundation Ryan Flaherty News staff

Blethering legacy drives on 11th annual car show takes over Oak Bay Avenue this Sunday Ryan Flaherty News staff
The Blethering Place may be gone, but it’s certainly not forgotten, and its former owner intends to keep it that way by carrying on with an Oak Bay summertime tradition. The Blethering Place Collector Car Festival will take over a stretch Oak Bay Avenue between Mitchell Street and Monterey Avenue for its 11th year on Sunday. Close to 300 cars will be on display at what organizer Ken Agate calls “a wonderful five-block party for our local people.” Though his tea room, for which the festival is named, closed earlier this
year (it has since re-opened under new ownership as the Oak Bay Bistro), Agate plans to keep the car show going well into the future. “Oak Bay Tourism is going to oversee it, which is good, because they will keep it going in perpetuity,” he said. That’s music to the ears of car nuts like Lee Gould, who has been bringing his fully restored 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe to the show since 2003. “It’s an entirely different show from most other car shows,” Gould said. “It’s a very eclectic show. All the stores (in Oak Bay Village) are open, there’s a great turnout of spectators, and we’ve been blessed every year with great weather.” Gould acquired the Cadillac from his

He also owns a second, identical -albeit unrestored -- car, but Cadillacs aren’t Gould’s only vehicular passion. “I’ve worked with cars since I was a teenager working at Cadboro Bay Texaco,” he said. “I appreciate all types of cars that have been restored.” In other words, Gould said, the Blethering Place classic car show is a perfect fit.

The owners of the Oak Bay Beach Hotel unveiled details today of a partnership with the David Foster Foundation which will span the next decade. Foster attended the announcement, which involves “one of the largest donations to our foundation in our history,” said the foundation’s chief executive officer, Michael Ravenhill. Kevin and Shawna Walker, owners of the hotel, will be making a seven-figure contribution to the foundation, which supports Canadian families with children in need of organ transplants. The collaboration will be highlighted by a gala celebration planned for next May that will be the centrepiece of the hotel’s grand opening. Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre will host the event, a black-tie dinner featuring award presentations and a live auction of “about six or seven priceless items,” said Ravenhill. Following the auction, the doors will open to the general public for a concert by former Victoria resident Foster and a number of special guests. “It really will be a show you don’t want to miss,” Ravenhill said. “One you will always remember, and for a cause you will never forget.” The partnership coincides with the foundation’s 25th anniversary. “Victoria essentially funded the foundation for its first 17 years,” Ravenhill said. “It only seems right and natural to come back to Victoria for a celebration.” The full extent of the Walkers’ 10-year commitment was announced today, after the News’ deadline, but it was also confirmed that the partnership will be tied into the hotel’s dinner theatre. It’s an opportunity to give back to the community, Kevin Walker said before the announcement. “We’ve met many of the families that have been helped by the Foster Foundation, and these are some of the stories that we’re going to begin telling in great detail (today).” editor@oakbaynews.com

That review concludes in May 2012. A final announcement won’t be made until May 2015. Despite the long wait, Ewan is optimistic about Trial Island’s chances. “As of May 30, 56 lighthouses across Canada have been nominated,” she said. “Parks Canada identified 35 that they thought were protection-worthy, and ours is one of those 35, so I think it’s pretty likely to get the protection.” editor@oakbaynews.com
Demand for car share prompts fleet expansion Erin McCracken News staff
Anna Melnik doesn’t own a vehicle, but when she needs to shop for groceries or run other errands that aren’t a quick trip by bus, there is always a car at her beck and call. For the past year and a half, Melnik has been a member of Victoria Car Share, a nonprofit co-operative that recently expanded its 22-vehicle service to three more neighbourhoods: North Park, Jubilee and Uptown. “There were some things that were hard to get to,” said Melnik, a University of Victoria environmental studies graduate student. Demand for the Victoria Car Share has
been growing since 1996 when five friends in James Bay decided to buy a vehicle and share it. Volunteers kept the service going until staff were hired in 2007. “They planted the seed back in the day and it’s just taken off,” said Keane Gruending, who co-manages the region’s only car share program with Nicole Buchanan. “It’s still relatively a new concept that’s emerging,” Buchanan said of the service which is available in Victoria, Vic West, Oak Bay and Saanich. There are plans to one day expand the service to the West Shore, Royal Oak in Saanich and Sidney. “I think rising gas prices have helped.”
The co-op’s growing success is due in part to its partnerships with developers and government, which can offer car share memberships to tenants or employees and help ease parking constraints. The service has also attracted people looking to transition more easily to a lifestyle that is not so vehicle dependent, yet they can access a mini van, pick-up truck, convertible Smart car, two hybrids and sedans, among others. “A lot of people are hesitant to shift to just biking and walking,” said Gruending.

An audible signal to help visually-impaired pedestrians cross the street safely will be installed at the intersection of Foul Bay Road and Goldsmith Street, council decided Monday. Oak Bay’s engineering services department recommended the installation based on the volume of traffic in the intersection and its proximity to a commercial area. Meanwhile, the installation of a similar signal at the corner of Oak Bay Avenue and Elgin Street was discussed, but council referred the issue back to engineering staff, citing the need for further information about how many people in the area it would benefit. The signals cost about $1,000 each to install.
Busy intersection prompts resident’s safety concerns
A letter from a concerned resident has sparked a discussion about whether enough is being done to prevent accidents at the intersection of Newport Avenue and Windsor Road. Kathleen Matthews lives nearby, and told council she often sees vehicles failing to stop at the intersection, which is controlled by a flashing red light and four-way stop signs. Director of engineering services Dave Marshall reported that staff had examined the intersection and determined it did not warrant a full traffic light. Coun. Tara Ney speculated about the need for another possible traffic-calming measure such as a roundabout, and Coun. John Herbert wanted to know if there was data on the number and severity of accidents at the intersection.
Bike racks part of larger transportation picture
A decision on whether to install a new bike rack outside Serious Coffee on Oak Bay Avenue was deferred until the release of a report on sustainable transportation from the municipality’s Community Initiatives Committee, which is expected in the next few weeks. The coffee shop’s owner had submitted a petition which proposed replacing one vehicle parking space with a bike rack to accommodate at least six bicycles. Council felt that approving a new bike rack before learning the findings of the report could mean spending money unnecessarily.

Oak Bay High teen makes mark on cancer research Erin McCracken News staff
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
Sixteen-year-old Oak Bay High student Emma Thomson works at the microscope in the Deeley Research Centre, where she and three other high school students are interning for the summer.
Did you know? Two students, who are either 16 or in Grade 11 at any secondary school on Vancouver Island, can be nominated for the internship program before March 1 every year. For details, contact your school’s science department or for an application, please visit www. bccrc.ca/dept/drc/hsp.
Come September, when her classes resume at Oak Bay High, Emma Thomson won’t look at science the same after what she’s experienced this summer. “It’s going to be hard going back to just listening,” said the 16-year-old, who will soon start Grade 12. The Fairfield resident has been spending July and August conducting supervised cancer research inside a lab at the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Deeley Research Centre at the Royal Jubilee Hospital. “I don’t think I can do any better than this,” Thomson said. “It’s pretty unreal that we get to work here.” Thomson is one of four students selected to participate in the competitive high school summer internship research program, which continues until Aug. 26. Joining her in the labs are Laticia Davies from Victoria High, Leah Kelley from Sooke’s Edward Milne community school and Michelle Kim from
St. Andrew’s Regional High in Saanich. Their participation marks the first time four female students have been chosen to work in the centre’s hightech labs together. Since the program began in 2004, four students, who are either 16 years old or in Grade 11 at the time of their application, are selected each year to conduct cancer research. They must pass exams at the end of the program to receive $3,000 bursaries. The students provide invaluable help to researchers, who are studying how the immune system responds to cancer, as well as gain unique insight into a potential career path, said lab co-ordinator Siao Yong, a former researcher who mentored students. “I would say this is the best science class (for them) because you gain experience in the lab and you’re learning beyond what you’re doing in the (high school) classroom,” said Yong. “Some of the material is for first- and second-year university students.” Past interns have had work published in research journals, while others have gone on to medical school
and another is now a Rhodes Scholar, she said, adding that researchers also appreciate the youthful perspective the interns bring with them. “It’s refreshing to have that enthusiasm.” Yong said. Every morning, Monday to Friday, the students arrive and don crisp white lab coats before joining in the centre’s efforts to help develop treatments for different types of cancer. Thomson, who aspires to become a doctor or veterinarian, said she looks forward to her work each day. “It’s so interesting,” she said. “It’s always evolving. It’s not boring, ever.” One challenge she faces is trying to explain the complexities of her job to her friends, some of whom aren’t working, or are spending the summer travelling or volunteering. Still, her reward lies in being part of a team striving to make a difference in the lives of people diagnosed with cancer. “I think we’re part of it and much of what we’re doing will be used in the labs forever,” Thomson said. emccracken@vicnews.com

Facing the music on STIs There’s a centuries-old saying about good intentions most people should be familiar with. And while the idea of reducing the spread of sexually transmitted infections is noble, there are a few problems with the plan to let people email their lovers to warn them they could have an STI. First of all, the rather cute e-cards developed for the B.C. Centre for Disease Control could make some people believe the issue of STIs is not something to take seriously. This is particularly a concern for young people who are just beginning an active sex life. The ability to send these e-cards Nothing cute anonymously, with quips about disease about being “screwed” or taken “out of action” is supposed to make it easier for people to warn their lovers to get checked. That’s great if it allows someone to get a diagnosis and be treated before a disease can do irreparable damage. However, there’s a problem if the message some people hear is that transmitting an STI is no big deal because you can anonymously inform your partners after the fact. Managing intimate relationships has always been tricky territory for men and women. That’s no exception for the current generation of young adults who seem to spend as much time communicating electronically as they do in person. Many older adults find it mind-boggling that some people feel it’s fair to end a relationship by changing your status on Facebook. And maybe it’s a little old-fashioned but we share the belief that some things should be done in person. Having sex requires a level of maturity and if someone is old enough to be intimate with another person they need to be able to understand the potential consequences of their action. It’s fine to take a shortcut if it saves someone from a lifetime of suffering because of an untreated STI. But let’s not pretend sending an anonymous e-card is the same as taking personal responsibility. The only way to do that is to face the music and talk to your partner (or partners) in person.

I’m a big supporter of any initiative to get us out of our cars. But I’m not convinced the timing is right for rapid transit. I’m worried our population can’t swallow the $950-million price tag, even if the federal and provincial governments provide their twothirds share. We need more information to make a sound decision, which is why I applaud Victoria MP Denise Savoie, who called for an independent study of the issue on Tuesday. I’d like solid financial analysis of the experience of smaller cities that have built similar lines. By the year 2040, (when the rapid-transit line promises a significantly faster option than the car) the Capital Region’s population will have grown by about 60,000. That’s many more taxpayers to share the significant capital costs, and many more potential riders to pay into the system’s ongoing operating costs. More riders justify more frequent trains, ensuring no half-hour waits on Douglas Street at 9 p.m. rholmen@vicnews.com Roszan Holmen is a reporter with the Victoria News.

OPINION
Bike infrastructure Tougher laws needed for cyclists pays big dividends Most arguments against bike lanes are absurd. Consider this: we have wide roads everywhere to accommodate cars. On either side of many of those roads, we have pedestrian sidewalks. In most large urban areas, we also have bus lanes and transit systems. When cyclists ride on roads, drivers often get annoyed. If they ride on sidewalks, pedestrians rightly get angry. Human-powered transportation will only get more popular as gas prices rise and as the negative consequences of our carcentric culture increase. We should be doing everything we can to discourage single-occupant automobile use while encouraging public transit and pedestrian and pedal-powered movement. In many North American cities, commuters scream bloody murder if it takes them an extra two minutes to get to their destination by car. There’s also the argument that slowing car traffic down is a good thing. In some European cities, planners are finding that making life more difficult for drivers while providing incentives for people to take transit, walk, or cycle creates numerous benefits, from David Suzuki reducing pollution and smog-related health Science Matters problems to cutting greenhouse gas emissions and making cities safer and friendlier. Building bike lanes also creates jobs and other economic spinoffs, according to a study from the Political Economy Research Institute in Amherst, Mass. Researchers found that bicycling infrastructure creates the most jobs for a given level of spending. For every $1 million spent, cycling projects created an average of 11.4 jobs in the state where the project was located, pedestrian-only projects created about 10 jobs, and multi-use trails created about 9.6 jobs. Infrastructure combining road construction with pedestrian and bicycle facilities created slightly fewer jobs for the same amount of spending, and roadonly projects created the least, with a total of 7.8 jobs per $1 million. One of the main reasons is that more of the money for roadbuilding goes to materials and equipment whereas with bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure more goes to wages and salaries. It’s important to note that European cities have matched disincentives to drive with improved public transit. After all, not everyone can get to their destination by walking or cycling. But with fewer cars and reduced gridlock, those who must use automobiles – including service and emergency-response vehicles and taxis – have an easier time getting around. Fortunately, the backlash against cycling infrastructure improvements appears to be subsiding. As oil becomes scarce and pollution and climate change increase, people are finally realizing that transporting a 90-kilogram person in two tonnes of metal just isn’t sustainable, especially in urban areas.

What is it going to take for politicians of all political stripes – both provincially and federally – to wake up and see that a major shakeup is needed in our judicial and transportation systems? I’m talking about cyclists. All cyclists should have insurance, be licensed and wear a helmet. Bicycles should have their licence visibly displayed, have a horn and working signal lights. These rules need to be strictly enforced. Explain one thing, and this is a true story as it happened to a colleague of mine: If a pedestrian is in a marked crosswalk and gets hit by a cyclist who doesn’t stop to help, and in the meantime the victim’s medical bills are steadily rising is that fair? An answer would be greatly appreciated. Joe Buczkowski Victoria
Oregon does it right; B.C. has long way to go The saddest aspect of the whole HST referendum debacle is how Elections B.C. has frittered away its wonderful reputation. As a British Columbian, I find it downright embarrassing how the mail-in voting process was carried out in such a hamhanded manner, compared to the smooth, efficient way it is done in Oregon. It’s like the difference between a performance by the Bolshoi Ballet and one by the Three Stooges. In Oregon, there is none of this cloak–and-dagger nonsense of processing and counting votes at some secret location. There is a “sunshine” policy with 36 election centres across the state at which citizens are not only permitted but
encouraged to observe the entire process from the arrival of the envelopes in the mail through the final counting of ballots. Moreover, the ID accompanying every single ballot is carefully checked in Oregon – not just a small random sample, as in B.C. And if officials in Oregon have doubts about identification on any certification envelope, the ballot isn’t arbitrarily discarded as in B.C. – the voter is instead contacted and given 10 days to come to an election centre and verify their ID. In addition, if Oregon citizens arrive at an election centre at the last minute to cast their ballot, the doors aren’t shut in their faces. Officials instead try to make sure everyone who is in the vicinity of the election centre at the time of the deadline gets a chance to vote. I can’t understand why election officials in B.C. stumbled along trying to reinvent the wheel on mail-in voting when all they had to do was borrow the wheel that has been spinning smoothly and efficiently for so many years in Oregon. Gordon Pollard Victoria
Government should leave ICBC money alone No one likes paying car insurance, but under a public system we’re supposed to have some say in where the profits are going. ICBC employees have worked exceptionally hard and have been a key part of ensuring ICBC’s value to B.C. drivers. Unfortunately for employees and drivers, the B.C. Liberal government clawed back ICBC’s profits into general revenue:
$990 million. Meanwhile, ICBC has increased compensation for body shops, physical therapists, and lawyers. And now B.C. drivers are being told to expect rate hikes when they should be receiving rebates. Drivers have a right to be angry with the way the Liberal government has skimmed the profits that should have gone into rebates. A public auto insurance system is the best way to go, but before it can reach its full potential to serve British Columbians the government needs to stop taking money out of ICBC.

Tango music arose from a clash of cultures, and true to its roots, Victoria’s Tango Festival will blur the line between tango, jazz and Latin American music. “There’s a big crossover in Buenos Aires and other places between Latin music and tango,” said event co-ordinator June Waters. Dance floors in Argentina will vary between the dance styles, giving everyone a chance to get up and dance, she said. Local group Kumbia, known for helping to start the salsa scene in Victoria, will perform, giving audiences a chance to listen and dance to their tango and broader repertoire. “We also have a jazz concert this year that has jazz, jazz-tango and tango in it, because … we’ve got a fabulous musician who is a world champion harmonica player that isn’t bound to one (style),” said Waters. The annual event, in its fourth year, has a mandate to increase live tango music in Victoria. While many people think of tango as a style of dance, this festival is about the music. The style of music started in

the culture clash “that began in Buenos Aires in the late 1880s,” said Waters. A large immigrant population contributed influences from Cuba, Italy and other countries. “It was their grief and longing for their homeland that was expressed in the tango music. Then it was transported to Europe … and it continued to evolve.” Composer and musician Astor Piazolla changed the genre radically in the 1970s, drawing on an existing movement by tango musicians. “They didn’t want to play just dance music. They wanted to go further and develop and expand it,” said Waters. Piazolla’s music was intended for concert halls, rather than dance halls. It’s his style, called “tango nuevo” that

Local author shortlisted for culinary book award Ryan Flaherty News staff
The solution to many of the world’s food supply problems are in your own backyard. That’s the philosophy behind Carolyn Herriot’s book The Zero Mile Diet: A Year Round Guide to Growing Organic Food. And if reaction to the book is any indicator, it’s an idea that’s catching on. The Saanich resident was recently named to the shortlist for a 2011 Canadan Culinary Book Award in the special interest category for the book, which teaches readers how to feed themselves in a sustainable manner. “I was inspired by (Vancouver couple Alisa Smith and J. B. MacKinnon’s) 100-Mile Diet,” Herriot said, “but it doesn’t tell you what to do. It outlines the difficulties and the problems and the challenges. “Zero Mile is a solution guide. It’s not just another vegetable gardening book. This is a book about how to feed yourself from your own backyard.” Herriot, who runs an organic seed business called Seeds of Victoria, says global insecurity over things like climate change, world hunger, and even the fact that Vancouver Island could be hit by a major earthquake at any time all helped inspire
the book, her second. “It seemed to me that having more self-reliance was a good way to go,” she said. Making the shift to sustainable gardening is easier than most people realize. “We don’t grow our own food anymore even though gardening is the number one leisure pursuit in North America,” she said. “It only requires a small paradigm shift. We can keep gardening but instead of growing only ornamental plants, grow edible ornamental plants.” The Zero Mile Diet takes readers through “the A to Z’” of vegetables and culinary herbs, Herriot said. It also teaches them how to save the seeds for future crops. “For me, sustainability and food production has to take seed saving into account.” The Canadian Culinary Book Awards recognize excellence in food and beverage writing while promoting Canadian food culture. Gold and silver prizes are awarded in three categories. The winners will be announced on Nov. 7. “It makes perfect sense to me to go back into the garden, grow more of your own food, get your children involved, and sit around the table together,” Herriot said. editor@oakbaynews.com

Dragon boat festival launches today Roszan Holmen News staff
Ninety dragon boat teams from the Pacific Northwest are trained and ready to have their spirits awoken for the great race at Ship Point this weekend. Their competitive spirits will be ignited at a traditional eye-dotting ceremony, which kicks off a full weekend of racing and entertainment at the Victoria Dragon Boat Festival. It all takes place at Ship Point. Races, called heats, take place all day Saturday and Sunday. The 20-person teams, including 22 from Victo-
ria, will be randomly matched on the first day. Once teams are categorized by skill, Sunday’s races promise to be nail-biters as dragon boaters race the 500-metre course to beat others with similar experience levels. There’s also lots to do for non-racers. Two stages host entertainment, including multicultural dancing and music with such acts as Furusato Dancers, Harmony Belly Dance, The Midnights, and Salsa Caliente. There’s also a food court, activity centre for kids and beer garden ongoing throughout the weekend. rholmen@vicnews.com

Plans to shift transit governance progressing Plans to axe the Victoria Regional Transit Commission and put regional transit and transportation planning in the hands of the Capital Regional District are moving forward. To help make that happen, CRD board chair Geoff Young and View Royal Mayor Graham Hill, who chairs the CRD’s planning, transportation and pro-
tective services committee, hope to have a meeting with B.C.’s minister of transportation and infrastructure later this month. Hill and Young plan to ask Blair Lekstrom about changing legislation to allow the CRD to govern transit. Members of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, who are provincially appointed,
have long complained the body lacks representation since it is comprised of leaders from five of the region’s 13 municipalities. In the meantime, CRD staff will spend the summer developing the new governance model before submitting a report to the CRD’s transportation committee in September. emccracken@vicnews.com

Dollars for Dogwood concerns student advocate Camosun to charge for high school courses Natalie North News staff
A basic stepping stone to higher education will soon be a little slipperier for adults looking to go back to school. In the fall, Camosun College will begin charging hundreds of dollars in tuition on some high school equivalency courses. The college will still have about 1,700 free spaces for students looking to earn their Dogwood. That’s 500 more than mandated by the province. But the concern is that some of the available free spaces will no longer include courses needed to pursue a post-secondary education. Sahra MacLean, external executive for Camosun College Student Society, says the problem runs deeper than the number of seats. “It’s who gets those seats, what classes those seats are in and when they’re offered,” said MacLean, who is also the B.C. executive with the Canadian
Federation of Students. “By just saying we’re offering X number of seats, it’s not really addressing the issue. It’s a quality over quantity issue.” Camosun is in the midst of replacing a selection of adult basic education courses, including all high
that we’re absolutely thrilled about,” said John Boraas, dean of Camosun College’s school of access. “It’s balancing fiscal responsibilities.” Boraas oversees the delivery of all English and math courses, some of which will also now charge tuition.
The depth of those new 100-level courses has been expanded to meet student needs and course prerequi-
sites, he said. But not all of the new courses are university-transferrable. “For us, our problem
is how do we deal with too little money and too much demand?” Boraas said. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Built by locally owned and operated developer Totangi Properties and priced from $384,900, the project’s latest release of single-family Craftsman-style homes offers a variety of floorplans to choose from – all certified Built Green Gold. The fifth phase of the Woodland Creek project, just outside the Sooke village, sits near the Galloping Goose Trail, SeaParc Leisure Centre and schools. In addition to standard green features, such as low-VOC paints and energy-efficient fixtures, Woodland Creek is the first development in Sooke to have individual exchange heating, cooling and hot water. The technology and costs are now at a place where the geothermal can
be offered and the homes still kept affordable, explains Totangi’s Blair Robertson. The results are resonating with buyers. “People like the quality of the finishes and they are very much attracted to the geothermal – qualities consistent with their own values in terms of energy conservation,” Robertson says. In addition to the efficiencies the homes offer, Built Green features also tend to be very healthy, with little off-gassing of chemicals, for example. While traditionally Sooke home sales have tended to be more about location and affordability, these homes are also attracting buyers who have researched the green features and like what they’re offering. “It’s more about features that are consistent with their values.” Of course, the style offered is a selling point, too. Standard features of Woodland Creek homes include
The Built Green Gold Woodland Creek homes combine energy efficiency with attractive Craftsman-style design.
natural gas fireplaces with wood mantles, designer-selected light fixtures, premium engineered wood flooring, master suite walk-in closets, heated tile floors in the ensuite and main bathroom, gourmet kitchens with energy star stainless appliances, landscaped yards, future-proof media wiring and more. When complete, Woodland Creek will feature 110 single-family homes, 80 townhomes, a neighbourhood commercial-zoned area and public parks, complete with a pond, walking trails and playground.

Unlike other car shows such as Windsor Park’s Jaguars on the Island, the event does not have a specific theme. All types of classic vehicles are welcome, a fact which Agate said gives the show a broad appeal, attracting hardcore collectors and “lookyloos” alike. “A looky-loo is a wonderful person, because they are actually a person with memories,” he said. “It (the show) brings back memories of a trip across Canada, or their mom and their dad, or when they got married. “A lot of cars are very inter- Lee Gould esting just because they’re a car where you can see their life of families, picnics, and whatever they did. Personally I like those cars because they tell a story just by looking at it.” Gould’s 1949 Cadillac is just one of many stories waiting to be told at the Blethering Place show. In fact, those stories are a big reason Gould returns year after year. “I usually end up parking my car and you don’t see me for the rest of the day,” he said. “I’m too busy meeting new people, seeing what they’re doing, and sometimes seeing folks I haven’t seen for 30 or 40 years.” The Blethering Place Collector Car Festival runs Sunday, Aug. 14. In addition to the wide variety of cars on display, spectators can enjoy a prime rib barbecue and entertainment courtesy Johnny Vallis, Nathalie Karine and Virtual Elvis. A new feature this year is the car corral, which will feature vehicles for sale by their owners. Registration begins at 8 a.m. and costs $15 for car owners. General admission to the event is free. The festival winds up at 3:30 p.m. editor@oakbaynews.com
Business case for LRT sent to provincial gov’t Erin McCracken News staff
Just as lobbying efforts for federal funding for the proposed light rail rapid-transit project are heating up, so too is the development of the LRT business case. B.C. Transit submitted the first phase of its business case to the province on June 1, outlining technical information regarding the $950-million lightrail system that would carry passengers between Langford and downtown Victoria. Now B.C. Transit and B.C.’s Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure are working together to flesh out how the light-rail system would be procured and delivered, as well as determine federal funding sources, said Erinn Pinkerton, B.C. Transit’s director of corporate and strategic planning. “What we sent them is the justification, the rationale and the technical details,” she said. “So (now we examine) how should the project be procured. Should it be done through a public-private partnership, should it be done through a design build?” It’s expected to take a year or more for the LRT business case to be fully developed, at which time an announcement will be made on whether it will advance, said Pinkerton, adding this is not an unreasonable amount of time for such a project. “So what we hope to see over the next year to a year and a half is different levels of support and approvals coming out,” she said. Meanwhile, the province will conduct its own internal review of the project, to ensure Transit’s technical data meets the province’s standards. Meetings are planned for September to build a task force to identify local funding sources to pay for the system, led by B.C. Transit and the CRD. emccracken@vicnews.com

Mavs headed to 2012 Nationals Mavericks all-stars sweep provincials Travis Paterson News staff
Studded with former collegiate and pro players, the Victoria Mavericks all-star baseball team swept its way to a B.C. championship in Kelowna. Pitcher Keith Shaw threw six shutout innings in the final game, a 1-0 win over the Coquitlam Angels. Matt Atkinson relieved Shaw in the seventh inning for the save and Lanny Burrows scored the game’s only run. The win qualifies the Mavericks for next summer’s Canadian National Championship in Prince George. Victoria last won the men’s national championship in 2008 in Brandon, Man. General manager Patrick Nahirney
credited his team’s early leads as a key role throughout the provincials. “(Our) pitching staff and defence were impeccable, with two starters logging shutout wins, and the entire pitching staff allowing only five runs in five games. The team never trailed,” he said. Centrefielder Kyle Pockett was awarded tournament MVP for hitting 10-for-15 in the leadoff spot. The tourney ran July 29 to Aug. 1. Next up for the all-star squad is the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament on Labour Day weekend, Aug. 31 to Sept 5. The Grand Forks field includes 12 teams, one from Australia, with a money prize to the winner. The players chosen to the Mavericks all-star squad come from the six-team Mavericks men’s league that plays out of Lambrick Park in Gordon Head. This year’s Mavericks season is nearing its end with playoffs starting Saturday (Aug. 13).
Mavericks provincial recap Game 1: Shaun Loglisci throws complete game, 4-0 shutout against the Trail Orioles. Kyle Pockett bats 3-for-3 with a walk. Game 2: Former Victoria Seals pitcher Graham Campbell throws another complete game, 3-1 over the reigning national champion Burnaby Bulldogs. Game 3: Matt Atkinson throws the team’s third-straight complete game, a 7-2 win over the Kamloops Sun Devils. Sean Murphy hits a three-run home run. Game 4: Jesse Dill pitches the Mavericks to a 6-2 playoff win over the Coquitlam Angels, clinching the Mavericks’ spot in the final. Game 5: Mavericks defeat Angels again, 1-0, after Angels win an extra playoff game to get to final. sports@vicnews.com - with files from Shelley Lipke
Olympian wins prize at Sooke Tri
Langley ends Shamrocks’ season
Olympic triathlete Brent McMahon won a well-deserved $15,000 purse of cash and prizes as the first man to cross the line of the Olympic distance (1.5 kilometre swim, 40 km bike, 10 km run) Subaru Sooke Triathlon on Sunday. Colorado resident Amanda Stevens took the women’s prize, finishing 19 minutes back of Victoria-based McMahon. The race drew 40 pro triathletes representing Canada, U.S., Mexico, and Australia, many of them competing in The Chase, a non-drafting Olympic distance event where the women are given a 15 minute headstart on the men. Up-and-comer Alison Hooper of Sooke did well on her home turf, finishing 22nd overall, just 36 seconds back of Sidney’s Lucy Smith in 20th. American Jonathan Shearon won the half Iron event (1.9 km swim, 90 km bike, 20 km run) in four hours, 17 minutes, with Victoria’s Adrian Walton the top local in third at 4:37:21. The race day also featured a sprint category at half of the Olympic distance in which three under-19 athletes from Victoria finished in the top four. Jericho O’Connell finished the sprint in first 1:04:12, with Chris Sundby third and Trevor Marc fourth, one second apart at 1:09:25 and 1:09:26.
Two regular season ties were as close as the Victoria Shamrocks could get to defeating the Langley Thunder in Western Lacrosse Association play this year. On Monday night the Thunder elminated the Shamrocks 13-8 in Langley, completing a fourgame sweep of the WLA best-ofseven semifinal series. The Shamrocks were seeded second, four points ahead of the third-place Thunder. But Langley was undefeated (1-0-2) against Victoria during the regular season. In Monday’s deciding game, the teams traded goals for the first 50 minutes, with neither side able to lead by more than one. But after Victoria evened the score at 7, the Thunder took control with four unanswered goals.
Victoria’s Hillary Wille picked up three gold medals leading a group of South Island triathletes to near domination of three triathlon events at the Western Canada Summer Games in Kamloops last week. Wille, a Claremont secondary grad, and Oak Bay High’s Lehm Maguire, won the women’s and men’s gold in the individual triathlon on the first day of the Games, Saturday, Aug. 6. Wille’s medal was also the first gold of the Summer Games, which bring together 2,300 athletes from B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Nunavut, Northwest Territories and the Yukon Territory. Fellow Victoria triathletes Megan Kinghorn won the women’s bronze and Connor Foreman won the men’s silver. “I was a swimmer before I was a triathlete so I knew I’d be strong in the swim,” said Wille, who was first out of the water. I had a bit of a slow transition but I made up for it on the hills.” Wille’s winning time on the hilly course was 1:07.31. Maguire’s was 1:01:56. On Tuesday Wille and Kinghorn joined Maya Munzar of Cobble Hill in winning the women’s team event while Maguire and Foreman joined Megan’s brother Jordan Kinghorn in winning gold in the men’s team event. Wille Kinghorn and Munzar won gold again on Wednesday, this time in the individual relay with Munzar swimming, Wille biking and Kinghorn running. Foreman (swim), Jordan Kinghorn (bike) and Maguire won silver in the men’s individual relay behind Manitoba.
Tracking UVic gold On the track, University of Victoria Vikes athlete Stephanie Trenholm set a Western Canada Summer Games record in the 1,500 metre run with a time of 4:27.86. Fellow Vike Brittany Therrien won bronze. Brittany’s brother Cody, who will suit up for the Vikes this fall, won silver in the men’s 1,500 m. Mount Douglas grad and UVic Vike Hannah Swift pole vaulted to 3.3 metres for sixth while Oak Bay High’s Kira Craig settled for ninth at 3.1 metres, below her personal best of 3.5. A pair of Vikes were strong in the strategicminded 800 m race on Tuesday as Reynolds grad and Vikes athlete John Pratt won gold by outracing White Rock’s Sean Keane. The latter held the lead for much of the race. Pratt finished in one minute, 52.83 seconds, just ahead of another Vike, Thomas Riva who placed third.
Gorge paddler ahead of pack Another Claremont grad, canoe and kayak racer David Nykl, seemingly won medals at will. By Wednesday he had a medal count of five. Nykl started his run on Sunday winning silver as with the four-man (K4) team in the 1,000 m. On Monday he won bronze on his own in the solo K1 500 m and paired with Nicholas Foellmer of West Vancouver to win bronze in the K2 500 m. On Tuesday Nykl was at it again, winning silver in the K1 2,000 m and silver in the K2 2,000 m with Del Muench from Langley. The Games wrap up on Aug. 14. sports@vicnews.com

Riding for a cause Kristen Douglas Black Press
A
fter losing his mom to cancer at the age of 16, Campbell River’s Shawn Hall knew he wanted to do something to help others fight the disease. When the opportunity to ride in the Canadian Cancer Society’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock came along, he jumped at the chance. “I’ve always wanted to do something for a worthy cause, especially Special cancer,” said feature Hall, a firefighter and an auxiliary Black Press police officer newspapers on with the Vancouver Island Campbell River will publish this RCMP. “It’s special feature something I don’t page spotlighting wish on any kid. police officers I saw the tour as taking part an opportunity in this year’s to help.” Canadian Cancer Although Society his cycling Cops for Cancer experience was Tour de Rock. limited, Hall said other police officers recognized the tour as something he would enjoy and be successful at. “Working up at the detachment, a couple of officers said, ‘Hey Shawn, you’d be good at that,’” Hall said. “It was definitely something I wanted to do, but I didn’t know if I was in good enough shape. I wasn’t too sure.” Before signing up for the tour, Hall occasionally would take his road bike for a spin, but nothing too serious. He has, however, cycled competitively on two different occasions. Twice he took part in the Comox Valley’s Royal LePage Snow to Surf Adventure Relay which combines skiing, running,

To gear up for the much longer, 1,000-kilometre Tour de Rock, which takes cyclists from one end of the Island to the other, Hall has been cycling three days a week. He and a team of police

officers and media personalities who represent the north half of the Island, ride together to build up their strength and endurance. On Tuesdays the group focuses on hill riding, typically 30 to 40 kilometres at a time, while Thursday night is reserved
for practising speed, again usually a 30- to 40-kilometre ride. Sundays are when the group does a more relaxing, but longer ride. Those trips tend to be around 100 kilometres. As the northern most member of the team, Hall typically has to drive down to either the Comox Valley, Parksville or Nanaimo for each ride. “It’s a lot of travel, definitely the whole summer it’s been a big commitment between training and fundraising, but it’s a good cause,” Hall said. So far, fundraisers have included a golf tournament at Storey’s Creek, bagging groceries at Thrifty Foods and cycling for about an hour on a stationary bicycle during Canada Day festivities. Hall plans to hold a few car washes and barbecues later this summer, as well as a possible wine tasting in the fall. The highlight of the journey so far for Hall was a recent trip to Camp Goodtimes on the Lower Mainland, a week-long summer camp for kids and teens battling cancer and their families. “We hung out with the kids and did a casino night with them,” Hall said. “We each took a game station and the kids went through and used fake money and they had a great time. We even had a pay-itforward booth where the kids could donate the money they had won to a charity.” Hall said thinking of those kids, and others who are battling cancer, will be what helps him push through the gruelling 14-day ride this fall. “It’s a long time to be on a bike, but then it’s not so bad when you think of why you’re riding and you just push through the pain because you know there’s kids going through worse than you.”
