Swingin’ through the woods Saanich golfer favourite for Cordova Bay tournament

Saanich mayor leads charge for regional transit control

Coming off the course after another round at Cordova Bay Golf Course last week, Megan Woodland was greeted by nearly everyone she passed. Golfing at Cordova is a daily routine for the third-year University of Victoria student. Woodland also happens to work there, but these days the Vikes team has a free pass to the course. Cordova Bay is hosting the Canadian University and College golf championship this week, Tuesday (May 29) through Friday. “The course conditions are in really good shape these days but it usually is, it’s what (Cordova Bay) is known for,” said Woodland, a graduate of Claremont secondary school who still lives in the Cordova Bay area of Saanich. The 20-year-old won the women’s National Athletic Intercollegiate Association golf championship in Tennessee last week, shooting an even par in a field of competitors from 100 schools in the U.S., and is the hometown favourite to win this week’s Canadian championship. But she wasn’t always this good. This year the psychology major improved from average to excellent, winning four of the seven university tournaments, twice finishing in second. “For me, I stay pretty calm on the course and don’t get too

AMAZING VALUE!

From Sooke to Sidney, every Greater Victorian pays for transit, but not every municipality has an equal say over how their tax dollars are spent. The unjust nature of taxation without representation was the primary argument Capital Regional District directors brought to the board table on Wednesday (May 23), when they asked to take control of regional transit planning. If given the chance to assume the role of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, the CRD could deliver better service, make B.C. Transit spending more transparent and hold local politicians more accountable to taxpayers, directors argued. “My colleagues in local government refer to transit in third person … it’s not a part of us,” said Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard. “We take no ownership of it, we take no responsibility for it, and … we can criticize it quite freely without feeling conflicted.” Leonard leads the CRD’s transportation select committee, which formed last year to improve regional transportation and to discuss seeking transit control with a Ministry of Transportation-appointed independent review panel. That talk came one year after the board first pitched the plan to the province. “Even if the government does move governance to the CRD, there still is this problem around accountability on the spending side of B.C. Transit. With or without this change, that still needs to be addressed,” Leonard said. “We would like to see a mechanism by which B.C. Transit is more responsible and accountable to local government. Full stop.” PLEASE SEE: No promises, Page A10

Last stop on a long ride Old buses in the fleet meet a messy end at scrap yard

Key job to go unfilled in Greater Victoria School District Natalie North News staff

Kyle Slavin News staff

The antiquated B.C. Transit bus pulls into its last-ever stop on time: precisely 10 a.m. Despite a full life serving the public, today the metal workhorse carries no passengers, not even a driver, as it’s towed to the Victoria scrapyard where transit buses go to die. The MCI Classic, purchased new in 1989 for $187,500, spent 20 years – upwards of 18 hours a day, seven days a week – on Greater Victoria’s roads. In total, it racked up some 1.5 million kilometres, although nobody knows the exact number – the odometer broke years ago. “The engine on this vehicle has water in the sump. That’s a sign of a major failure,” says Aaron Lamb, executive director of asset management for B.C. Transit. “Could we repair it? Absolutely, you can always repair it. But from an environmental, social and financial standpoint it doesn’t make sense to do that.” This bus is one of the oldest – if not the oldest – in B.C. Transit’s provincial fleet. As per B.C. Transit standards, it was taken off the road in 2009, 20 years after it was purchased. But it still had some life in it, so it remained in the provincial contingency fleet for a couple years – until it was towed to the scrap yard just north of the Bay Street Bridge last month. Amid an acreage of bald tires, crushed sedans and shredded metal, workers at Schitnzer Steel’s Steel Pacific Recycling begin taking immediate environmental precautions on the well-kept transit bus. “Any leakage is captured,” says Jenny Farkas, spokesperson for Schnitzer Steel as she and Lamb watch employee Derek Vowles pump all the fluids out of the engine. The batteries and mercury switches are removed, and the engine is pulled out. Eventually cleansed of liquid toxins, the bus is pushed into

(Right) The old bus meets its end at the claw of a excavator as it’s recycled into scrap metal. place across the yard and comes to a stop between an excavator and a multiple-storey-tall metal baler. And with almost no effort at all, and no moment of silence to recognize the bus’s decades of service, the bucket of the excavator slams through the roof of the transit bus, crunching the front end and tearing it to shreds. The windshield shatters into pebbles of glass, as the bucket rips down through the steering console. The excavator operator picks up the destroyed front end and swivels it into the adjacent baler, which packages the twisted shards of metal and aluminum into a four-foot by four-foot brick. In a matter of minutes, Lamb, in awe as he records the destruction on his cellphone, has one less recognizable asset to manage for B.C. Transit. The once 12-metre long bus is all condensed now into a few bales of metal. It will be loaded onto a barge and floated down to Schnitzer’s main shredder in Tacoma, Wash., where all the pieces will be sorted

We can extract finer and finer pieces of all these materials,” Farkas says. Lamb conducts lifecycle analyses on all the province’s buses on a regular basis. “Thirteen to 20 years from now, the buses could use 70 per cent less fuel than they do now. It might make environmental, social and economic sense then to accelerate our replacement process,” he says. “There are always new

determinants.” The technology in 1989-built bus pales to what’s standard today. There was no air conditioning, no digital signage boards, no wheelchair accessibility, not to mention it guzzled 9,000 litres more fuel each year, and produced an additional 23 tonnes of carbon dioxide. “It really is a workhorse. … There’s a bit of nostalgia here,” Lamb says. “Think about all the people who were on it over 20 years – how many drivers, how many passengers, how many service people fuelled it.” Never again will it be fuelled, or driven, or rode – at least in this incarnation. “Maybe it’ll be recycled into another bus,” Lamb says optimistically. kslavin@saanichnews.com

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

Emergency radio system chips away at cutting static Edward Hill News staff

buildings and deep parking garages can kill the signal. “When tall buildings go up, it distorts the signal, but you don’t know (the extent) until you do testing,” he noted. “There are ongoing (CREST) infrastructure upgrades in the downtown core. It won’t ever end.” Building a transmission site in Esquimalt, and securing more frequencies for the system, are the top priorities of the agency this year. It also plans to upgrade transmission sites to improve reliability in James Bay, Saanich, Oak

Bay and the West Shore. “Complaints have dropped off compared to what they used to be. We are still working with the Victoria police to identify and address specific areas,” Logan said. “CREST had issues in the early days, but the concept is sound,” Horth noted. ”There is always room to improve and that is the path we are on.” Anther key task this year is convincing Industry Canada to release more radio frequencies for the system. Now serving 40 emergency agencies

in the Capital Region, CREST is reaching its capacity for radio traffic, “has a limited ability to grow” and is justified in requesting five more transmission channels, Planetworks’ report said. At the same time, the CREST board is starting to look at next generation technology to replace the existing $10.6 million system. Planetworks suggested a new system could be phased in as debt on the current system is paid out over the next three to five years. editor@saanichnews.com

When a Victoria police officer radios for backup from Esquimalt, a five second delay can feel like forever. Long delays through the regional emergency communications system are rare, but dead air remains enough of a problem in pockets of Esquimalt to demand a new transmission site in the township. Police and other users have immediate radio communication about 99.55 per cent of the time, according to a CREST data. A recent .

Saanich student wins national essay contest Natalie North News staff

Jack Layton’s tough climb to political success as leader of the New Democrats and sudden death just months after his party claimed the official opposition is a story known well by NDP supporters and critics alike. It’s also the inspiration behind a Saanich student’s essay that earned national attention last week. Emily Candell claimed first prize in A&E Network’s Lives that Make a Difference essay contest for her The Magic Beans of Love, Hope and Optimism, a piece that compares the life of Jack Layton to the fable of Jack and the Beanstalk. The Grade 11 student at Pacific Christian School first became interested in Layton’s story in the lead up to last spring’s federal election. “I noticed that all he was talking about was for the people,” said Candell, whose essay was selected from nearly 2,000 submissions nationwide. “All he cared about was for the country and helping everyone and it was really inspiring. … It made me realize how much of a difference one person can make, just by speaking out and showing how much they care.” Candell sees Layton’s two

The life of Layton was the most popular theme for young scribes in the contest’s 15th year – one marked by entries that ran the gamut of topics from the experience of immigrating to Canada to the influence of pop heartthrob Justin Bieber. Layton’s legacy was also the most resonant with judges. The grand prize winner, Mary Faheim of Mississauga, Ont. took the top prize with her let-

Candell, the only winner from Greater Victoria in either of the junior or senior categories, plans to see the $2,000 cash prize that accompanies the honour either help finance her education – or an educational trip to France.

Stars shine for Foster charity W

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

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

LETTERS Bicycle lanes would be of benefit along Glanford Avenue Re: We’ll take bike lanes west of the Pat Bay, too, please, (Letters, May 23) Yes to bike paths and lanes west of the Pat Bay Highway. Glanford north from McKenzie Avenue is so busy and dangerous for cyclists. Why is this very busy avenue not properly improved with bike lanes, proper sidewalks, and turning lanes? It seems like there is plenty of room to accomplish this without any expropriation. Come on Saanich, please. Improvement and beautification of Glanford Avenue north of McKenzie is long overdue. On a happier note, we cycle all over the Capital Region and love the wonderful trail systems being developed in Saanich and beyond. Donald and Valerie Gillespie Saanich

Rainbow Park path problems are a larger pictures issue Re: New bike path is a positive for Saanich commuters, (Letters, May 23) The letter-writer’s letter supporting the path effectively lists the reasons why the neighbourhood was against the path going through the park. It has increased noise in the park and made it physically less secure. It also carved up some of the functional green fields. This trail will deposit users directly in the path of cars leaving the highway and trying to merge immediately with McKenzie Avenue. Drivers are usually looking hard over their left shoulder for traffic, not ahead of them. In the past few years, I’ve nearly been struck twice, have witnessed several rear-end collisions and one near broadside. Bits of broken glass on the road

often indicate a fender bender in the previous day or two. Imagine a car plowing into someone on a motorized scooter or a child on a bike instead of the end of another car. Sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture. There is already a cycling route through the neighbourhood that has been in use for 15 years. For the sake of saving cyclists a minute of time, are people willing to play Russian Roulette with people’s lives while paying a couple of hundred thousand dollars in taxes to pave over green space and duplicate something that was already in place? Mike Laplante Saanich

Uptown’s issues stem from poor political direction Re: Saanich credits Uptown with easing tax hike (News, May 25) It speaks volumes that our Saanich politicos can turn a blind eye to the Uptown developmental sewage and try and superimpose the cut in civic taxes (all of $10 yearly). First off, the development site is on our SSW border so the name speaks to the Saanich slate and their view of downtown being Victoria. The development is disgusting in appearance and fails in parking, traffic chaos and appeal to those who live in close proximity – especially to the north. And the condo towers are still to come. It’s a pity that our ‘glorious leader’ and his slate of Saanich is akin to ‘the emperor with no clothes.’ Their continued incumbency counts on the ongoing fact that 80 per cent of the civic electorate remains DOA with regard to civic involvement.

Sewage treatment plans are our white elephant Re: Millions spent, but still no word on sewage treatment (News, May 18) It remains a mystery to many taxpayers how our politicians can ignore the opinions of marine scientists, health officers and engineers, who have publicly challenged the need for sewage treatment of our south shore effluent,

Old Oil to New Gas and continue to spend millions of tax dollars on a project that has no justification whatsoever. These leaders/lemmings have repeatedly (and sometimes deliberately) misrepresented the findings and recommendations of the two studies that led to the decision to treat our south shore effluent (which is 99.97 per cent water) and they have refused to conduct any study of the benefits that this massive waste of public funds will allegedly provide. If this project will actually improve the environmental, social, and/or economic aspects of the offshore outfall system we have been using for decades, then let’s hear about it. The truth is that no such study has been done, and for good reason – there are no such benefits. Our current system is extremely efficient and almost perfect. Take a good look in the mirror to see who’s actually going to pay for this gigantic white elephant, then demand an explanation. You and your neighbours won’t enjoy the permanent tax increase that’s coming. Bob Wheaton Victoria

Column writer is not a doctor on smart meter concerns Re: Premier bitten by pest problem, (B.C. Views, May 23) I couldn’t help feeling confused after reading Tom Fletcher’s column where he mentions the “imaginary health effects of smart meters, being egged on by shoddy, sensationalist media reporting.” Personally I feel the media reporting has swayed in favour of B.C. Hydro’s PR spin – but that wasn’t the confusing part. Earlier on Wednesday I read a press release from the American Academy of Environmental Medicine (AAEM). This academy consists of doctors and scientists who are calling for “immediate caution regarding smart meter installation” citing human health impacts of chronic exposure to radiofrequency (RF) and electromagnetic field (EMF) exposure. Now the question is: whose view do I trust? Mr. Fletcher’s or these doctors, who are concerned about the significant, but poorly understood, quantum field health effects of EMF and RF and who are calling for more independent research to assess the safety of “smart meter” technology.

Vision Matters Dr. Victor J. Chin

Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

No promises from transit review panel Continued from Page A1

Directors expressed frustration with the makeup of the Victoria Regional Transit Commission, which has representation from seven elected officials hailing from just five of 13 municipalities and one electoral district in the CRD. While not every director felt the CRD’s proposed transit takeover would eliminate transportation planning woes, most agreed the power shift would be the first step in the right direction. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who joined the commission following November’s municipal election, expressed frustration over her municipality’s representation on the commission for the previous six years by Christopher Causton, the former mayor of Oak Bay. Desjardins spoke in support of the increased representation, but remained on the fence over whether or not the CRD should helm transit planning – an endeavour she hopes to see approached holistically, with rail included in the conversation. “It has to be multi-modal,” Desjardins said. “For me (B.C.) Transit is transit … They don’t do anything other than buses in this region. They can’t think outside the bus.”

Though he remains a strong proponent of the change, Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin acknowledged one potential pitfall of allowing more voices in on the transportation discussion. “The big danger of bringing it to the board is that everybody gets their small piece and so all we ever do is fix roads, but we never, ever really collectively pool our stuff together to actually get something big that moves us forward,” Fortin said. “That’s the risk, right? We’d never actually do anything big.” The B.C. Transit independent review panel, comprised of ex-Ministry of Finance staffer Chris Trumpy, consultant Catherine Holt and longtime transit planner John King, were receptive to the proposal, but didn’t make any promises on the future of transit governance. “You’ve got half of the solution, maybe, but you don’t have the other half, which is the relationship with B.C. Transit,” Holt said. The panel, now midway through meeting with local governments across the province, has until the end of August to submit recommendations to the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure based on information gathered from community consultations and B.C. Transit. nnorth@saanichnews.com

Celebrate the ocean at the Gorge

Police dog, witness credited for quick capture of thief Kyle Slavin News staff

A Saanich police dog and a good witness are being credited for aiding in the arrest of a burglar early Monday morning. At 3:30 a.m., police were called about a break-and-enter in progress at a bike shop in the 100-block of Burnside Rd. West. A witness reported seeing a man smash a glass door to gain entry, and provided police with a description of the suspect.

A canine officer was first on the scene, and the dog successfully located a scent, which led two blocks away, to the 3200-block of Wascana Ave., where the suspect was cornered under a camper van. A 28-year-old man with no fixed address was arrested. The canine officer searched the area and found a stolen $3,000 mountain bike. “This investigation really was driven by the fact that someone was in a position to be a good witness,

World Oceans Day Festival is June 3 to encourage young people to protect the world's oceans. Organized by Esquimalt Parks and Recreation Services and the World Fisheries Trust, the celebration includes live music, canoe rides, interpretive walks, educational displays, crafts, face-painting and touch tanks filled with marine life. The free event happens on Sunday from noon to 3:30 p.m. at Esquimalt Gorge Park, off Tillicum Road (across from Saanich’s Gorge Park.)

and did what was asked of them,” said Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen. “They contacted us immediately, and gave a good description of the suspect. Timing is everything in deploying the dog. … From the time we got the call to the time this guy was under arrest, it was eight minutes total.” kslavin@saanichnews.com

David Foster gala raises millions for foundation Roszan Holmen News staff

With some corporate donations still to be tallied, the David Foster Foundation’s Miracle Weekend has brought in $4.6 million for the locally raised musical star’s charity. “Victoria proved once again it is a hometown like no other,” said foundation CEO Mike Ravenhill. “A weekend event that was just 12 months in the making, kicked off by (Oak Bay Beach Hotel owners) Kevin and Shawna Walker, has set the stage for another 25 years of our foundation.” Money raised will go toward providing financial support to Canadian families with children in need of lifesaving organ transplants. The Miracle Weekend, held at the Fairmont Empress and Save-on-Foods

Memorial Centre, saw 29 people purchase the full $10,000 weekend package and thousands buy tickets to individual events. On Friday night, 300 people walked up the purple carpet at the Empress to have dinner and enjoy an intimate concert with Foster, where tickets sold for $500. Premium tickets for Saturday night’s arena performance – which included a gala dinner and a live auction – went for $1,000. The event attracted 700 people. Another 4,130 people attended the concert, shelling out between $75 and $250 per seat. Onlookers hoping to get a glimpse of the stars and perhaps an autograph or two crowded entranceways to both venues. The event was also supported by 150 volunteers. rholmen@vicnews.com

If you’re thinking polkas, you’re thinking wrong. There will always be a time and a place for the Central European genre of music so closely associated with the accordion. But it’s the wrong association to make to the B.C. Accordion Orchestra, says conductor Aleksandar Milojevic. “Our shows are a lot of fun and our musicians are some of the best in the world, it’s something people who haven’t seen us won’t realize.” The Victoria-based orchestra, which draws on musicians from the Island and beyond, is holding its annual concert in the Alix Goolden Hall on Thursday (May 31). The performance is full of surprises as it moves through the classical, tango, jazz, ethnic and pop genres, the latter being the only type of music to start with a ‘P.’ “We have returning members of our audience, who know what to expect, which means they don’t know what to expect, except for great music,” Milojevic said.

B.C. Accordion Society

World-class accordionist Jelena Milojevic leads the B.C. Accordion Orchestra at the Alix Goolden Hall. A former player himself, Milojevic will lead a dozen accordions through the various arrangements. Thursday is also the accordion society’s campaign kickoff for the Coupe Mondiale in August 2013, when the world’s biggest accordion event comes to Victoria. “It’s going to be a major event, bringing hundreds of the world’s top accordionists and thousands of spectators to Victoria.” It’s the first time the Coupe Mondiale, the most prestigious accordion competition of inter-

national scope which takes place each year, will come to Canada. Last year it was in China and this year it’s set for Italy. Milojevic is hard at work netting major sponsors for the event, and is in meetings with the ministry of community, sport and cultural development in planning for the event. Even sooner, however, is the Victoria Accordion Festival from July 19 to 22. Also an international event, though not to the same scale as the Coupe Mondiale, the accordion festival showcases a series of popular bands that feature an accordion. For those who have not experienced the range of what a group of accordions can accomplish in concert, tomorrow night’s show is for you. sports@vicnews.com

If you go ■ B.C. Accordion Orchestra, May 31: 7:30 p.m. at Alix Goolden Hall, 907 Pandora Ave. Kids 10 & under are free. Tickets available at Tempo Trend Music and Long & McQuade.

Although much was written about Sir Winston Churchill as a statesman and world leader, surprisingly little attention has been given to Churchillâ€™s life as a writer. Writing was, in fact, his primary means of earning a living and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. Clarkeâ€™s narrative gives particular attention to the making of his four-volume History of the English-Speaking Peoples, showing the themes that shaped

Province creates new safety standards for motorcyclists

Local news.

News staff

Motorcyclists may want to check the decals on the back of their helmets and the placement of their passenger’s feet if they want to avoid hefty fines. Starting June 1, motorcyclists can face up to hundreds of dollars in penalites if caught on the road without helmets that meet the province’s new safety requirements. Only helmets complying under the standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation, Snell Memorial Foundation 2005 or 2010, or United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) will be considered legal. “The better protection you’re protecting your head (with), the greater chance that you have to survive,” said Oak Bay police acting Sgt. Angus Wagnell. Novelty helmets, known as skid lids, skill caps, or beanies, which were previously legal, don’t provide any actual protection, Wagnell added. The helmets required under the new regulation have “a rigid head covering with a strong, stiff outer shell and a crushable liner.” As well, motorcycle drivers and passengers are required to keep their feet on the bike’s foot pegs or floorboards. Children who cannot reach foot rests will no longer be able to ride as passengers. “Part of it is for child safety,” he said. “The other part is to try and prevent stunt driving.” Motorcyclists found violating seat requirements, such as allowing passengers under the age of 16 to be unlawfully seated, will face up to $121 in fines. All helmet related offences will cost bikers up to $138. If a motorcyclist refuses to give their helmet to an officer when asked, a $276 fine will be issued.

Then on Saturday, Hesjedal once again completed the demanding final stretch while having to pace the maglia rosa pack, with his rivals drafting his slipstream up the steep climb. The conspiring of Rodriguez, Basso and Scarponi, as well as others, attempted to bump Hesjedal out Friday and Saturday, the contenders could not. “We were supposed to

Defence holding strong for ’Rocks Travis Paterson News staff

The Victoria Shamocks (2-0) didn’t dominate the visiting Maple Ridge Burrards (0-2) on Friday, but they nearly did, winning 8-4. Rookie head coach Bob Heyes wants to see more from his offensive group, starting with a home game against the Nanaimo Timbermen (2-1) Friday night (June 1), at 7:45 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena. “With the group we have, we should be more effective offensively,” Heyes said. “We scored goals when we needed to (Friday) but we made it hard on ourselves.” The ’Rocks controlled the first and third periods against the Burrards, but a let down in the second period allowed the Burrards to take a 4-3 lead.

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

drop Ryder Hesjedal but it’s been the opposite,” Rodriguez told the Cycling News on Friday. “Hesjedal gave us a lesson … the Giro is in his hands. If he doesn’t make any (mistakes) he’ll be the winner.” Rodriguez was right. “I had to fight for this Giro, (my competitors) weren’t helping me, and it makes this victory even sweeter,” Hesjedal said in response to the mountain stages. “I had help from my team,

SPORTS NEWS IN BRIEF

Diver McCormick Olympic-bound Saanich diver Riley McCormick is going to the Olympics. McCormick closed the book on his winter struggles with a first place effort on the men’s 10 metre tower at the Diving Canada Olympic trials in Montreal on Sunday. The Claremont secondary grad completed an incredible fifth-round reverse dive, which earned perfect 10s from four of the judges, and clinched McCormick’s second-consecutive trip to the Olympics. McCormick ended the competition with 979.80 points. Eric Sehn (Edmonton) was second with 863.65. “I knew I had the potential to put it all together. This was one of my best career perfor-

who did what they could. But my rivals put the pressure on … as we approached the last part of the Stelvio, my rivals weren’t willing to work because they felt it was my race to lose. It’s tactics and situation, and I had to save my own Giro in the last five kms, and that makes it that much sweeter.” Also sweetening it was multiple kisses with wife Ashley Hofer, and seeing his father, as well as Tour de Victoria organizer Seamus McGrath at the Stelvio summit. As for Hesjedal’s status in July’s Tour de France and this summer’s London Olympics, the Giro champ said he’ll begin putting a plan together soon. “Once I have started to see my name with the previous winners who’ve accomplished this, it will sink in, but I’m just enjoying it right now.” Earlier this year Hesjedal’s seventh-place finish at the 2010 Tour de France was bumped to sixth after that year’s winner, Alberto Contador, was disqualfied for doping. sports@vicnews.com

■ Since 1931, the Giro leaders jersey, known as the maglia rosa, has been pink to reflect the colour of La Gazzetta Dello Sport. Like the Tour de France, the Giro, which started in 1909, was created to increase the readership of newspapers.

Ryder ready for Olympics ■ Asked repeatedly on Sunday about competing for Canada at the upcoming Olympics, Hesjedal responded: “It’s the last thing on my mind right now, I don’t even know the selection date to be honest. But I’ve said all along I want to do it. I don’t see why I shouldn’t be in London, but we’ll see.” Hesjedal represented Canada as a mountain biker in the 2004 Olympics and road cyclist at the 2008 Olympics.

Comox to hold Cyclone Taylor Cup

Adam O’Meara tops at Shawnigan Lake

The Comox Valley Glacier Kings have won the bid to host the 2013 Cyclone Taylor Cup. The junior B provincial championship rotates between all three leagues in B.C., the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, Pacific International Junior Hockey League, and Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League. The Glacier Kings will face the respective winner of each league from April 11 to 14.

Victoria long-distance triathlete Adam O’Meara repeated as the Shawnigan Lake HalfIron triathlon champion on Sunday. O’Meara’s time of four hours, four minutes and 54 seconds was more than a minute slower on the rejigged 2012 course than his 2011 winning time of 4:03:36. Wade Carlson (Penticton) and Nathan Killiam (Surrey) finished second and third overall, respectively, on the 1.9-kilometre swim, 88-km bike and 21.1-km run of the Half Iron. Vancouver’s Rachel Kiers overtook Stephanie Ossenbrink (Richmond) in the swim to finish as the top woman with a time of 4:24:41. Shawnigan is the first race of the Subaru Western Triathlon Series, which continues June 17 at Elk Lake.

Correction The May 25 issue of the News incorrectly referred to Lambrick Park coach Chris Lubinich as complying with a vote by the Saanich district teachers. Lambrick Park is part of the Greater Victoria School District 61. The News regrets the error.
