Election issue: pipelines

O

f all the ethical debates circling B.C. electoral candidates, there are few more polarizing than oil tankers and pipelines.

Most Vancouver Islanders lean left on natural resource exportation and environmental protection, as suggested by consistently higher support for both the NDP and B.C. Greens in opinion polls.

Currently, the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline snakes its way from Alberta to the West Coast, pumping 300,000 barrels of oil each day to its Burnaby terminal and various other locations.

On average, five tankers navigate the shores off Greater Victoria and through the Burrard Inlet each month, Daniel Palmer but Kinder Morgan wants Reporting to twin the pipeline and triple its capacity.

Combined with an expanded terminal in Burnaby, the increase would mean another 29 tankers in the Strait of Juan de Fuca each month, an issue that weighs heavily on the minds of voters in coastal communities, said Jessica Van der Veen, B.C. NDP candidate in Oak Bay-Gordon Head.

“The people of Vancouver and Greater Victoria do not think this is a realistic thing, to turn Vancouver into a major bitumen exporting port. It’s just not what British Columbians want,” she said.

Van der Veen said the next government will face the task of diversifying the energy economy, and she would advocate to reduce energy demand by providing subsidies for retrofitting through carbon tax revenues.

Greater Victoria has seven constituencies – Victoria-Beacon Hill, Victoria-Swan Lake, Oak BayGordon Head, Esquimalt-Royal Roads, Saanich South, Saanich North and the Islands and Juan de Fuca – and election results will be routed through a one-stop shop: vicnews.com.

Sherwin Batley faces multiple charges after police were called to an erratic driver in what turned out to be a stolen car last week.

West Shore RCMP were called to a parking lot at 845 Goldstream Ave. where witnesses said the driver of a Chrysler Sebring was driving into vehicles and nearly missed a group of pedestrians.

A man with his walker on the side of the building was hit. RCMP report a cement garbage can stopped the man from being crushed by the car.

The driver hit a Mazda pickup truck and a GMC pickup. Bystanders said they banged on the Sebring pleading for the driver to stop. The bystanders then physically stopped the driver from fleeing, police said. They held the suspect male until police arrived.

“We appreciate that citizens in this situation did what they felt was right in this moment, although, we do not encourage citizens to become involved in situations where they could become hurt or injured,” said Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz of West Shore RCMP. “We are fortunate that this situation turned out as it did and that those involved only received minor injuries.”

When RCMP arrived on scene it was deemed the vehicle has been stolen.

Batley is charged with of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, mischief to property over $5,000, theft of a motor vehicle, obstruction of a peace officer and driving while suspended. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Pipelines, tankers emotional issues for voters

News Gazette readers hear from candidates for MLA in Juan de Fuca

Continued from Page A1

John Horgan New Democrats What do you see as the most important issue for residents in your riding, and why? – Reducing inequality – it not only affects those in need, but society as a whole. BC Liberals brought years of the highest child poverty rates and unprecedented numbers visiting food banks. Our fully funded platform will bring relief to lower income families and supports to seniors, children and those with disabilities.

What would be your top priority as MLA? – Establishing a Regional Transit Authority.

How would you work to improve the flow of transportation in your riding and the region? – There has been a serious lack of funding for transportation initiatives in the South Island. The BC NDP are committed to creating a Regional Transportation Authority to find efficient and cost effective ways to move people around the region. We’ll look at implementing a co-ordinated, multi-modal, regional transportation plan.

How do you feel about some form of municipal amalgamation in the region? – Amalgamation is a complex issue with reasonable arguments for and against. The BC NDP believes the public should have a chance to voice their opinion on the subject and support a referendum in the next municipal election asking the question “Do you support your municipality entering into discussion on amalgamation”. iPhone or Blackberry? – Blackberry.

Carlos Serra Green

Kerrie Reay B.C. Liberals

What do you see as the most important issue for residents in your riding, and why? – Both how the urban areas are going to change in terms of their tremendous projected growth, as well as protecting the ecological habitat of the regions outside the urban areas that face developmental pressures. The protection of our trails and old growth forests maintains tourism and intrinsically benefits us all.

What would be your top priority as MLA? – Representing my constituents regardless of the political tides in the legislature. Focusing on advocating for ecologically sustainable building standards at the provincial level that will result in long-term savings and sustainable development for the riding, as well as being a way to shift economic perspective on climate change.

How would you work to improve the flow of transportation in your riding and the region? – Start by adding more HOV lanes on the major highway routes for the commute, as well as push for ride share programs in the short term. In the long term we are looking at options such as light rail to downtown.

How do you feel about some form of municipal amalgamation in the region? – Instead of following the path of amalgamation, the provincial government should provide more funding and resources to the municipal level and a culture of advocating best practices should follow, rather then delegating political agency to fewer and larger municipalities. iPhone or Blackberry? – Linux based

What do you see as the most important issue for residents in your riding, and why? – Door knocking clearly indicates the issue for individuals is transportation. I reside in Sooke and use BC Transit every day to work in downtown Victoria. I am keenly aware of the issues of Highway 14 as well as the backup of traffic through Colwood and along the TransCanada Highway during rush-hour.

What would be your top priority as MLA? – There will be multiple issues but my first priority will be to identify the issues, research the issues and prioritize the list to ensure that what are the issues for the riding will be where I start. Based on door knocking, transportation and the economy would be there.

How would you work to improve the flow of transportation in your riding and the region? – This will not be a one solution fits all. We will need to engage local governments, work with BC Transit (possibility of creating a third lane for buses) and I would like to see us initiate a conversation with the federal government to look at an overpass at McKenzie.

How do you feel about some form of municipal amalgamation in the region? – I understand that this has been an on-going issue for years. The Local Government Act provides for amalgamation and it is clearly up to local governments in consultation with voters to make the right choice for their community. I would be cautious as communities are unique in their priorities and issues. iPhone or Blackberry? – iPhone

The B.C. NDP opposes both Kinder Morgan’s plans and the proposed Enbridge Northern Gateway project.

B.C. Green party leader Jane Sterk is universally opposed to pipeline expansion, but said it’s not realistic to look at an immediate moratorium on tanker traffic.

“We know that bitumen oil is not going to get any cheaper (to extract), and it’s at a point now where the economics of it mean it may be too expensive to be part of our economy going forward,” said Sterk, the Greens’ Victoria-Beacon Hill candidate.

She advocates for a low-carbon economy by relaxing the regulatory process around wind and thermal energy, and increasing use of affordable solar panels on residential homes through partnership with B.C. Hydro.

“The potential for renewable energy is just massive,” Sterk said.

While The B.C. Conservative Party is staunchly pro-pipeline, any expansion should be balanced with strict environmental protection measures, said Joshua Galbraith, Saanich South B.C. Conservative candidate.

While concerns about tanker traffic are justified on the Island, northern B.C. residents will need to make their own decision, Galbraith said.

“There’s definitely two sides to it. I’ve heard people say they don’t want a pipeline, period, but then others say we need this pipeline to get the jobs and economic benefits that go along with it,” Galbraith said. “You should be able to balance smart economic policy with smart environmental policy.”

The B.C. Liberals champion Premier Christy Clark’s five conditions for the Northern Gateway pipeline, which include creating “world-class” oil spill response, prevention and recovery systems on land and sea, successful completion of a federal environmental review and a fair share of fiscal and economic benefits.

But voters remain “cautious and curious” about those conditions, said Christina Bates, B.C. Liberal candidate in Victoria-Swan Lake.

“It’s not enough to just say there are five conditions,” she said. “People need to be informed that the first three of them are environmental (conditions) and they need to be met before anything else is considered.”

On increased tanker traffic on the southern coast, Bates said Kinder Morgan’s track record speaks for itself.

“Kinder Morgan has had tanker traffic for 50 years on the coast and there have been no major spills,” she said.

Police motorcycles show off at Langford’s Western Speedway Daniel Palmer News staff

Nearly 100 police officers from across the Pacific Northwest and as far away as Texas rumble into Western Speedway next week for the North American Motor Officers Association’s annual conference.

The Victoria Police Department hosts the Langford event, where officers will participate in riding proficiency clinics, use-of-force and firearms seminars, then wind up the four-day conference May 18 with a ride through the West Shore.

“This is the first time it has ever been on the Island,” said VicPD Const. Steve Twardy, organizing committee member. “We have about 400 members in total, but that varies depending on funding each year from departments.”

VicPD boasts a 10-member motorbike unit, while the Saanich department has eight members assigned to bike duty. But some U.S. police departments have scaled back similar units,

Twardy said, and the prohibitive cost of travelling to the Island has limited this year’s participation.

Still, visiting officers are expected to bring an economic boost to the West Shore.

“We’re going to occupy the entire speedway and surrounding parking lots,” Twardy said.

The event is open for public viewing from the bleachers during many events, he added.

Units outfitted with Harley Davidson, Victory and BMW motorcycles will compete in separate categories from each other in proficiency events.

“We do tears, where two guys on Harleys have a string between them and they have to do the entire course without breaking the string,” Twardy said. “It’s pretty amazing to watch the skill of some of these guys … but I’m sure there will probably be a few crashes.”

On the Saturday afternoon, officers will partake in a memorial ride through Langford, the Esquimalt Lagoon, Colwood and Metchosin. Visit namoa.org for the itinerary. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Charity finds last minute fundraising venue The Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Victoria secured a lastminute venue for its annual gala fundraiser, after the leisure boat it rented was damaged during repairs.

The Wild About Whales cruise was scheduled for May 4 aboard the Orca Spirit II with 100 guests, but the vessel

was damaged as it underwent annual repairs in a Vancouver drydock two weeks ago.

The organization will now hold its festivities at the Ward Room at CFB Esquimalt on May 11, thanks to strings pulled by retired rear admiral Roger Girouard, honorary chair of the event organizing committee.

“We’re just trying to scramble and have a last push on ticket sales,” said Kate Mansell, communications director.

The Wild About Whales rubber whale race is also scheduled for June 15 on the Gorge Waterway.

Students prepare to dive as part of a three-week marine biology summer program. A similar program runs this summer, through the Gulf Island School District, on the West Shore.

Students submerge for school Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

The striking view of Pedder Bay, from above and below, will greet summer students this year.

Ian Mitchell, a teacher in the alternative education program at Gulf Islands Secondary School on Salt Spring Island, will take 16 students from across the province under water for schooling at Pearson college July 14 to Aug. 3.

“The kids are going to learn marine biology, they’ll receive an independent directed studies Grade 12 credit, and we teach the kids how to SCUBA dive at the same time,” Mitchell said.

It’s a new high school program for B.C. but Mitchell offered one in Ontario before moving to the Gulf Islands, working with Sooke School Board to present the course “We’re opening up to all students in British Columbia,” he said of the program run through Sooke School District. The residential program costs $2,899.

“That includes everything, room and board, excursions the course and the SCUBA certification program,” Mitchell explained. “These are all kids that like to swim, they all usually own fish tanks, have a fascination with water … or they’ve all put on a snorkel and a mask at some time and are fascinated with what’s in the water.”

Students will live and learn at Lester B. Pearson College in Metchosin.

“They had the amazing facilities, the residences, the marina,” he said. “Jacques Cousteau he compared the area, the amount of life under the water, second only to the Red Sea.” Excursions include a tour of the Pacific Fleet Diving Unit in Colwood and Shaw Ocean Discovery Centre and a biologist-led beach hike.

Mitchell, the “chief cook and bottle washer” of

Out of the water For those less inclined to dive in the water, there’s also a studio arts program open to kids in Grade 11 or 12 for credit. The program will present experts from ceramics to painting and glass blowing to First Nation arts.

That program too is open to 16 students.

“To make a really superlative summer program, 16 is kind of the number,” Mitchell said.

the program promises 21 full days of fun and hard work.

Students will do an independent study project as part of the course including a paper, presentation and final comprehensive exam.

“The kids all say the same thing, they’ve never worked so hard, but they’ve never had so much fun,” Mitchell said. “Kids who think they’re coming for a free vacation should think again, there’s a lot of work involved.”

OUR VIEW

Support your local politician As the provincial election campaign got underway on April 16, Premier Christy Clark said: “British Columbia is at a crossroads, with two very different choices in front of us in this most important election in modern history.”

She might be right.

Then again, in some electoral districts, a third choice is emerging, with the B.C. Green Party slowly moving up in approval ratings.

Whichever way you lean politically, the coming election has more potential for change than we’ve seen in B.C. in a long time.

Not since 2001, when the New Democrats were decimated and left with only two seats after 10 years of ruling the province, have we seen this kind of potential for an ideological about-face.

But that takes votes.

In the 2009 election, the highest participation level was in the age range of 65 to 74 (72 per cent of eligible voters). The lowest came from those ages of 18 to 24 (27 per cent). Overall, just 51 per cent of British Columbians eligible to vote took the time to do so.

In Greater Victoria, during the 2009 race, at least three districts saw fewer than 600 votes separate the winner and the runner up.

In Saanich North and the Islands, where Liberal MLA Murray Coell has since retired, the count was closest with a mere 245 votes separating him and current NDP candidate Gary Holman.

Does this mean Holman is a shoo-in this time around? Is Oak Bay-Gordon Head NDP candidate Jessica Van der Veen sitting on her laurels hoping she will just pick up those 561 votes she trailed Liberal MLA Ida Chong by in 2009? Not for a minute.

These candidates and their B.C. Green, B.C. Conservative, B.C. Liberal and independent counterparts are all working hard to get your support because they know every vote counts.

Not only that, the youth vote could be the deciding factor on May 14.

Is this the most important election in modern history? You decide.

The Chamber has focused on an economic agenda, as it is an area where we feel we have the engagement, experience and expertise to highlight challenges and opportunities in Greater Victoria.

There are a number of other issues impacting the region, such as health care and the environment, which are best left to the organizations and individuals with expertise on those particular issues.

It is my hope that by creating this agenda and posting candidate responses publicly, Greater Victoria voters can easily see which issues candidates support, before residents make the big decision on May 14.

The choices we make at the polls will influence provincial decisions for years to come, and having a clear way of comparing where local candidates stand is essential.

It is important to rally everyone to have their say and vote.

looking to join the work force.

We also need to focus on balancing the provincial budget, rather than taking money away from social programs to fund rising interest costs. Forty years of experience in business has taught me that too much debt is crippling.

It scares me that the NDP have rolled out billions of dollars in new spending during this campaign, and their “every dollar is accounted for” rhetoric just isn’t credible because their antidevelopment attitude will reduce revenue at the same time as spending rises.

There is truth to the adage, “Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

The NDP came to power in 1991 and governed the rest of that decade. Investment dried up

and economic growth trailed the rest of Canada. A low point came when the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce thanked the B.C. government for driving growth investment in Alberta.

Glen Clark’s 1996-99 tenure as premier was arguably the most disastrous for B.C. and with Adrian Dix, Clark’s former chief of staff leading the province, I’d be very worried about history repeating itself.

It took many years for the Liberals to repair the damage.

During their time in government, North America suffered through a major recession and yet we now have a triple-A credit rating, higher than the U.S. government, allowing B.C. taxpayers the lowest possible interest rates.

Have the Liberals done everything right? Certainly not.

The introduction of the HST by the Campbell government was badly handled. There have been other gaffes and ill thought out policies.

While there is a natural inclination for people to vote to change long-governing parties, it’s important not to let the NDP sleepwalk to victory without thinking about which party is likely to create jobs and not burden today’s young people with a mountain of debt.

I’m not asking that you agree with me, only that you think through the full consequences of your choice carefully. And then get out and vote on May 14.

He has retired to Greater Victoria.

townhome developments that were built two years ago and earlier still haven’t sold out, it should send a signal to the city’s planners that perhaps the market is getting saturated and there is no longer a shortage of places to live in the area.

To keep handing out building permits serves only to exacerbate the glut of empty residential units already on the market and pushes those market values down: too much supply and not enough demand. This is unfair to existing homeowners who may be trying to move out of the area and are forced to sell at a loss. It causes all kinds of problems.

Langford has grown by leaps and bounds since I moved here in 2005. One only has to look at the traffic congestion on our roads to realize the infrastructure has not kept pace with the housing development.

It’s time to put a lid on residential building permits and let the market readjust to a

balanced state. Nobody likes to lose value on their property.

LETTERS Human trafficking prompts teen to write I am a minor, and am therefore the age that many youth have been trafficked in Canada into what some call prostitution.

Internationally, the entry age into prostitution is said to be between 12 and 14. It is undoubtably the case that many of these underage prostitutes are being controlled and exploited by pimps, bawdy house owners or even family members.

I have recently had the pleasure of getting to know Tara Teng, Miss World Canada.

Her goal is to bring the issue of human trafficking and prostitution in Canada out of the shadows. I, too, can no longer sit by and watch these realities continue.

As a teenage girl, I simply do not understand why the act of prostitution is legal in Canada and why the men who pay to sexually abuse women and children are

not being prosecuted.

Unfortunately, the root cause of prostitution is the demand for commercial sex with women and children. The purchase of sexual services ought to be heavily criminalized, not the selling of sexual services.

I do not believe that this “business” can ever be safe or beneficial for the prostitutes. I would like to see support given to prostitutes who are desperate to get out of this so-called profession. The abuse, rape and dehumanizing buying and selling of women in Canada are what I believe to be the worst possible actions one human being could do to another.

The question that enters my mind time and time again is, why are these outrageous acts of injustice not penalized? I cannot imagine what these women, children and few men endure on a daily basis. The excuse that we simply do not know what is happening in Canada

regarding prostitution and human trafficking is no longer valid.

I recently graduated from high school, yet I know the Canadian government has turned a blind eye towards prostitution.

In light of the statistics and my own eager desire to see change concerning the issues around human trafficking and prostitution, I would like to see the Nordic model of prostitution law, which criminalizes buying sex rather than selling it, placed in the Criminal Code of Canada.

early 800 men on Vancouver Island will be diagnosed with prostate cancer this year. More than 100 of them won’t survive the disease.

Those sobering statistics are what compelled all of Greater Victoria’s motorcycle retailers to join forces this year for the third annual Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live on June 25.

The Langford-to-

Daniel Palmer/News staff

Michael Turgeon outside Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre during the kickoff for the Westcoast Motorcycle Ride to Live. The annual Langford-to-Sidney event raises funds for prostate cancer research.

Sidney ride raises money for prostate cancer research and donates to the B.C. Cancer Agency, Univer-

sity of Victoria and the Victoria-based Prostate Centre.

“I had no idea prostate cancer would just

sneak up on me like it did,” said Bill Jackson, a cancer survivor who was diagnosed in 2010 and is now in remission.

“I’ve started eating better, walking, exercising every day, I do more than I did before,” he said.

Jackson was part of a team of volunteers at the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre kicking off Ride to Live’s fundraising efforts last Friday afternoon.

Organizers hope to attract 1,000 participants for the ride, and add to the $250,000 it has raised since 2010 for local prostate cancer research, education and awareness.

Rider Michael Turgeon lost his grandfather to prostate cancer and has watched his father fight the disease for 20 years.

“My dad’s going on 82 and continues to live a healthy life,” Turgeon said. “I’m riding for him.”

Turgeon’s band, The Weeds, is hosting a fundraiser for Ride to Live at the Tudor House pub, 533 Admirals Rd., on June 15.

“We know from our research that if you are detected with cancer early, your change of beating the odds is dramatically increased,” said Dr. Julian Lum, a scientist with the B.C. Cancer Agency.

“We really want to encourage any men over the age of 40 to have their annual test done.”

Make your dream oasis a reality with Down to Earth Gardens & Nursery

By Jennifer Blyth

I

f the summer-like weather has brought dreams of a beautiful backyard oasis, make those dreams come true with a visit to the West Shore’s full-service Nursery and Landscape Company, Down to Earth Gardens & Nursery.

For many years the Metchosin company was known for its quality wholesale products, but expanding to a full landscape design and installation service, with retail nursery, has brought many rewards, says landscape designer Kelly Chashai, who owns the 2 1/2-acre business with her husband, Eko. “I really like working with people and seeing how happy they are when they have a beautiful sanctuary to enjoy,” Kelly says. “To be a part of that is very rewarding.”

Down To Earth can do as little or as much of your project as needed. From landscape design, landscape installation, then maintaining the garden when finished. Down To Earth provides garden consultations as well as to help with problem solving. “I love to design a map for people to follow then they can go ahead and do it themselves knowing they have the right plant in the right place avoiding costly mistakes” notes Kelly.

Offering a wide array of services, Down to Earth creates its own compost and leaf mulch, which is available for pick-up or delivery, with installation if desired. They also offer landscape design, installation and maintenance.

The nursery has an interesting selection of annuals, perennials, shrubs, trees, fruits, vegetables and more. They grow most of their own stock ensuring the best quality. The hanging basket selection is enormous from 12 inch baskets to large Victorian style moss baskets.

“We grow for our customers; we plan our baskets in January and everything is ready for May, it’s about creating something that’s personal for our customers” Whether your thumb is newly green or you’re an old hand at gardening, you’ll find quality plants, professional service for all aspects of your garden while shopping in a relaxing atmosphere.

uard your pockets and purses at Isabelle Reader Theatre.

A Charles Dickens classic comes to life in Langford with Four Season’s Musical Theatre’s Oliver!

“We’ve made a conscious decision to depart from the darkness of this story that occurs in many of the movies,” said director Terry Rowsell. “We are focussing more on Oliver and his journey to find his grandfather.”

Jordan MacDonald, 9, plays Oliver Twist.

“It’s a lot of work and it takes a lot of practice to learn the lines,” said Jordan. This Charla Huber is the second play he’s ever Reporting been in and the first time he’s played a lead role.

“He puts in the work of an older kid,” said Rowsell. “Often directors would get a young looking older kid to play the part or a girl to play a young boy. I felt to really get the sympathy of the audience I wanted to get a younger Oliver and Jordan has been amazing.”

Aside from his talent on the stage, Rowsell said Jordan fits the part because, “He happens to be skinny and looks like he has been starved, but he’s healthy and comes from a happy family.”

Jordan is joined on stage by his older sister Mariah McDonald, 11, as head pickpocket, Artful Dodger.

Her character takes Oliver under his wing, which isn’t hard for her to play because she’s used to protecting her brother.

“The hardest part is being a boy (on stage). I have to practise standing and walking like a boy.

Girls stand with their feet together and boys stand with their feet apart and they slouch,” Mariah said.

Jordan and Mariah are home schooled and practise many of the scenes together during the day.

“Oliver! … tells a real story about how things used to be and kids in workhouses,” she said.

This is the sixth play Mariah has been in.

“Mariah is fabulous. She is super talented and can dance, sing and act,” Rowsell said The children’s father Rob McDonald makes his acting debut as Mr. Brownlow, Oliver’s grandfather.

Some of the darker parts of the story still need to be told, Rowsell said, adding he has spoken to some parents who are concerned with the violence of the story.

“Bill Sikes does kill Nancy, you can’t get around that. We are not overplaying that, it happens and we move on,” said Rowsell.

Shows are at Isabelle Reader Theatre, 1026 Goldstream Ave. Evening shows begin at 7 p.m. on May 25 and May 31. Matinees begin at 2 p.m. on May 25 and 26 and June 1 and 2.

The Victoria Highland Games are about more than just the caber or the keg toss. The games, celebrating their 150th anniversary this year in Victoria, are also seen as an event that honours arts, heritage and culture.

“It’s a celebration of Scottish and Celtic arts and culture, which is not just the sports side. It’s also the music and the dance,” said Jim Maxwell, president of the Victoria Highland Games Association. “All the traditions of Scotland were brought here with the first Scottish settlers in the fur trade coming in the 1850s.

“I think the catch of it all is all this pageantry and spectacle and music.”

Thousands of people are expected to flock to Topaz Park on May 18 and 19 to take in the sights and sounds of everything Celtic.

Maxwell promises this to be the biggest and best Highland Games yet, with national and international athletes competing in the heavy events, and a variety of performers – from dancers and singers to big bands – to keep the family entertained.

“It’s a very emotional experience taking it all in. The sound of the bagpipe played well is rather passionate, the dancers in their kilts are impressive,” Maxwell said. “And then of course we have the pipe bands, individuals who are drumming and piping. We have some of the best in the world coming. It’s quite a high-quality event.”

His Royal Highness, Prince Andrew of Wales, will act as chief of the Games, presiding over opening ceremonies both days, and the closing ceremony on the Sunday.

While the Highland Games happen over the Victoria Day long weekend, arts and culture events span the previous week, too.

Tomorrow (Saturday, May 11), the Tartan Parade will take place downtown. Pipe bands, highland dancers, athletes and Scottish organizations will walk down Government Street from Centennial Square to the B.C. legislature beginning at 11 a.m. The bands will then perform on the legislature lawn, and dancers will perform the highland fling.

On May 16, Canadian Celtic folk-rockers Spirit of the West perform at Sugar Nightclub (858 Yates St.). Opening for the group is the Greater Victoria Police Pipe Band. Tickets, $35, are available at Lyle’s Place (770 Yates St.) or at ticketweb. ca.

“You want a family-oriented weekend of pageantry and spectacle? Come to the Victoria Highland Games and you won’t be disappointed, because it’s not just a band playing on stage, it’s the colour, the atmosphere that makes it special,” Maxwell said. “Everybody can feel the excitement and the passion and the professionalism and the culture.

It’s quite an experience. I have people come up to me with tears in their eyes every year saying, ‘This is fantastic.’

That’s what we want everybody to see.”

Advance tickets to the 150th Victoria Highland Games are available to purchase ($12 for adults/$10 for students and seniors) at The Strath, Vision 2000 Travel Group and Loghouse Pub Liquor Store.

To make the presence and quality of Oak Bay artists even more well known, Mayor Nils Jensen is proposing the appointment of an arts laureate to champion the district’s talents.

Oak Bay has six art galleries in its core, multiple art groups, two studio tours a year and enough artists to easily fill the 22-stop roster on the spring studio tour. An arts laureate is being touted as a way to raise exposure and promote this abundance.

“I think there’s a great interest in the community in art,” Jensen said. “We have a very active art community.”

The ideal candidate is seen as someone active in the art community to represent Oak Bay art as a whole and work towards its promotion in a variety of ways. The person would organize promotional events, co-ordinate marketing and help bring groups together.

“This is a way we can promote tourism and business in Oak Bay, having a person who can act as an art co-ordinator,” Jensen said. “I’m sure there’s a perfect person somewhere in Oak Bay for that.”

Funding of $2,500 has been secured from Oak Bay Tourism and is going to be matched by the district. Jensen is now hoping the Oak Bay Business Improvement Association considers supporting the project.

Jensen is eager to have the laureate in place by late summer or early fall, but said that will depend on funding and finding the right person for the task. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

The story “The view from the U.S.” in the Black Press May 3 issue of Progress misstated the increase in Victoria Clipper ridership for the month of March 2013 compared to March 2012.

The increase was 11 per cent. The story also misstated the percentage of Clipper riders staying overnight in Victoria. That number is unknown due to the varying channels through which riders book their vacations.

Belmont back in it Travis Paterson News staff

It’s been 18 years and counting for community coach Lloyd Powell who is on the verge of something big with the Belmont Bulldogs.

The West Shore has had plenty of athletic successes in that time but not on the soccer pitch. Not like this.

The Bulldogs won the AAA Lower Island high school girls soccer league for the first time since 1998 and played the Lambrick Park Lions in the Ryan Cup final for the city championship at UVic on Thursday.

Results of the Ryan Cup final were past press time.

Sisters Kristen and Marisa Livingstone both scored to help propel the Bulldogs past the Stelly’s Stingers 5-3 in Tuesday’s semifinal at UVic. The elder sister, Kristen, also a member of the Victoria Highlanders, is front and centre on the Bulldogs team. But the soonto-be University of Alberta Pandas soccer player is surrounded by a lot of talent, Marisa included, the coach said.

“Kristen is exceptional and they’re both strong but we have lots of strong players,” Powell said. “It’s been a great season. We did well at the UVic tourney a few weeks back and could have done even better there. It’s a disciplined group of girls who play the way that we want them to play.”

The Bulldogs took a 3-1 lead

early in the game but sat back and let the Stingers tie it up. Marisa and Maddy Yesaki scored for the Bulldogs in extra time as the Bulldogs regained the form that got them up 3-1 in the first place.

Marisa also scored in regulation, as did Kristen and Kate Payter.

Alix Yee, Frankie Chatwin and Nina Laflamme scored for the Stingers.

Bay Breakers in Tuesday’s Ryan Cup semifinal.

It avenges Lambrick’s 3-0 loss to the Breakers in last year’s Ryan Cup final. Lambrick was the only AA team remaining in the Ryan Cup final four.

Emma Entzminger scored twice within the first 15 minutes of the second half to put Lambrick up 1-0.

But Oak Bay stormed back on a goal by Camille Van Tassel and nearly tied the game.

It was a finish coaches Lauren Goodmanson and Melissa Orton, a pair of former Lambrick players, weren’t happy with.

“Oak Bay took it to us and found another gear in the last 20 minutes, we were really fortunate we didn’t get punished,” Orton said.

“I told the girls after the game, be proud of the fact we were able to hold them off but you don’t want to be the type of team that holds teams off. It’s not an easy feeling.”

The Lions created several good chances in the first half but didn’t create as many opportunities in the second.

It’s been another sizzling season for the Lions, returning to the Ryan Cup final, the city’s crossover tournament with A, AA and AAA schools.

The Lions’ only loss so far was to the Glenlyon Norfolk Gryphons in the UVic tournament final.

On Monday the Lions enter the AA Islands at Shawnigan Lake School.

“We’re constantly improving throughout the season and if everyone commits to playing at their highest level, we could have a very strong Island tournament,”

Growing their game Travis Paterson News staff

Women’s rugby has grown exponentially around the world in recent years.

Now it’s catching up in Victoria, says David Crossley.

The enthusiastic dad helped create the high school girls seven-a-side rugby league in Victoria this season.

“There’s been girls rugby teams at high schools before but it was informal and now we’ve established an official league,” he said.

Crossley’s daughter Caroline is a Grade 9 player with Oak Bay and has been playing since Grade 5. She also plays in the Castaway Wanderers youth girls program, of which players are sprinkled amongst the eight schools participating in this year’s school league.

The season winds up on Monday (May 13) with a seven-a-side tournament at Oak Bay High.

The tourney runs from 2 to about 5:30 p.m. with national team player Barbara Mervin presenting the winners trophies.

A veteran of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, Mervin is still involved with national sevens program and is also a pioneering

entrepreneur in the budding industry that is women’s rugby.

Through her company, Aptoella, Mervin designs and produces rugby gear specific to women. She had the idea first, disappointed in the heavy, cotton jerseys and uncomfortable rugby shorts she and her fellow athletes wore on the field.

“Actually some of my products are sold to soccer and flag football players as well,” Mervin said.

She attended the Pacific Design Academy in 2009 specifically to learn how to manufacture a new brand of rugby shorts for women. But so far the big seller has been the Attack-her shoulder pads.

“I’ve sold about 200 of them so far, to places as far as the U.K., Sweden and New Zealand, but most sales are here in Canada,” she said.

Mervin’s products will be on sale at Monday’s high school sevens tournament.

On Saturday the Velox Valhallians, Mervin’s former team, host Burnaby Lake in the B.C. premier women’s championship final, noon at UVic’s Wallace Field.

The UVic Norsemen play in the Div. 1 final at 2 p.m. and James Bay host Burnaby Lake in the premier men’s final at 4. sports@vicnews.com

coach Brent Garraway said.

Three of Oak Bay’s leaders, Elise Butler, Jessie Collison and Katie Hanson, have been with the team for three years.

“I would love to see them accomplish something special in their final year,” the coach added. sports@vicnews.com

Teens find success at the gym Travis Paterson News staff

From diving off the 10-metre tower to lifting 61 kilograms in the clean and jerk, Shaye Tudor is proving to be a quick study.

Tudor, a Grade 8 student at Royal Oak middle school, finished second at the B.C. high school provincial championships in Olympic style weightlifting. The event was held in Surrey on May 4.

Only Grade 12 student Simrin Sandhu of Lord Tweedsmuir secondary in Surrey was better in the 63-kilogram weight class.

Not a bad start for Tudor, who turned 14 last week, and only got serious about weightlifting in February.

“Tudor is not afraid. She is great at going after it and is not worried about only being (in Grade 8), but then she (also) jumps off a 10 metre tower, so I guess that speaks for itself,” said Jeane Lassen, Tudor’s weightlifting coach.

CAREER OPPORTUNITIES

For my Dad, who spent much of WW2 high in the sky in a Lancaster, and was for most of my life, my role model and best friend. I miss him.

Once I was young and handsome, gracefully able to reach to the sky, and dance in the wind, or curl my toes in the soft earth beneath my feet.

But years went by, I grew old, my body no longer revels in the breeze, but groans and creaks achingly slowly to respond.

My toes no longer feel the warm earth my body stiffens and contorts with age.

The day has come for which I have waited so long, the chance to fly.

One great flight to take, a journey of mystery without the pain that has been my life for far too long.

I will lift my wings and once again feel strong, feel the wind lift my spirit and rush beneath before falling away into the shadows below.

I can soar to the clouds above.

Rising in freedom to join those who have gone before and wait with them for those who will follow.

Charronne Douglas Johnston

I miss you so very much every passing day. You live on in our children, grandchildren and great grandchildren. Thank you for sharing 64 years and seven months of your life, with me.

Betty.

Give them control.

GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE! A paper route is about so much more than money.

These days kids want and need so many things. With a paper route they not only earn the money to buy those things, they also gain a new respect for themselves. They discover a new sense of confidence, power and control by having their very own job, making their own money and paying for their own games, phones and time with friends.

All it takes is an hour or so after school Wednesday and Friday.

And even better... there are no collections required.

It’s so easy to get started… call

Towns like Port Angeles, Port Townsend, Sequim, Neah Bay and Forks are terrific jumping-off points for a host of activities, including fishing, kayaking and hiking.

In Olympic National Park, a World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve encompassing nearly one million acres, visitors can experience the Olympic Mountains, rainforests and a pristine wilderness of glacier-carved lakes, waterfalls, more than 600 miles of hiking trails and dozens of campgrounds. Park highlights include Hurricane Ridge, the Hoh Rain Forest and 73 miles of unspoiled coastline.

Stop by the Visitor Center in Port Angeles for details about enjoying the park safely.

to thriving cultural and fine arts communities, not to mention a calendar full of special events.

“We have a little bit of everything.

It’s all about the things you can do and the things you can experience,” says Mary Brelsford, Communications Manager, Olympic Peninsula Visitor Bureau, pointing to unique activities like the historic underground tours in Port Angeles.

“There’s a lot of history here.”

To help Vancouver Islanders “Get Off the Rock,” a variety of spring and summer packages have been created with Red Lion Hotels and others to showcase the Olympic Peninsula’s numerous attractions.

Discover special events like May’s Juan de Fuca Festival, plus activities such as beer tasting, the Underground Heritage Tour, arts & crafts attractions, and the region’s numerous outdoor amenities, such as Lake Crescent, Mareymere Falls and Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park. Additional drive-on getaways have been planned for those heading on to Portland, Seattle and SeaTac Airport.

For more information about all that awaits on the Olympic Peninsula, visit www.getofftherock.ca, where you’ll also find a link to current contests and special promotions.

Watch your Black Press newspapers in the coming weeks for additional contests and visitor opportunities.

eeding a new landscape to explore this spring and summer?

Expand your Pacific Northwest travel horizons to the many possibilities waiting across the Juan de Fuca Strait on the Olympic Peninsula.

The Olympic Peninsula Tourism Commission, Port Angeles Regional Chamber of Commerce, Black Ball Ferry Line and Red Lion Hotels have teamed up for the “Get Off the Rock” campaign, designed to introduce people to the region’s numerous opportunities, explains Black Ball Ferry Line’s Ryan Malane.

“We wanted to do something to promote the Olympic Peninsula and all that it offers,” Malane explains.

The answer? “Get Off the Rock,” a way to encourage Vancouver Islanders who may not have crossed the water to the Olympic Peninsula for some time.

The campaign is also a great way to introduce the Island’s many newcomers to the natural beauty and vibrant communities awaiting across the strait.

“There are so many new folks in the region that we’re just trying to raise awareness.”

Port Angeles is the gateway to the Olympic Peninsula, a paradise of diverse ecosystems and picturesque small towns just 90 minutes from downtown Victoria. With three daily sailings from Victoria starting May 16, and four from June 20 to Sept. 8, Black Ball’s MV Coho drops passengers right in the heart of
