ordon Head is the greenest neighbourhood in the country. Not only is the region represented federally by the first-ever Green MP Elizabeth May, this week Saanich and Oak Bay residents made history yet again, giving the B.C. Green party its first seat in any provincial legislature in Canada. Andrew Weaver, a University of Victoria climate scientist, defeated longtime Liberal MLA Ida Chong and NDP candidate Jessica Van der Veen in a riding touted as being the Greens’ best shot at winning a seat. Weaver held the lead from the outset, as votes came in Tuesday night. By the time the final votes had been tallied, three hours after polls closed, Weaver received 40 per
cent of the popular vote in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, more than 10 per cent (or 2,500 votes) ahead of the incumbent Chong, who finished second. “If you had asked me 10 years ago if this would happen I’d say you were absolutely crazy,” Weaver said Tuesday night during his victory party at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel. “I’m not going to come in off the bat making strong statements and policy. I’ve got to learn what the position is from the inside out, build strength in my voice getting a background of what’s there.” Weaver said he’ll spend the next few weeks understanding the legislative process, arranging staff and opening his constituency office. Dennis Pilon, associate professor of political science at York University and a specialist in B.C. politics, says despite the historical vote, Weaver likely won’t be able to

The fact they’ve elected another (politician) is crucial,” he added. “They don’t want (Elizabeth) May to appear to be a one-off fluke, so I think this is very important for them.” Residents in Oak Bay-Gordon Head will go from having a cabinet minister to being represented by a one-member party in the legislature. Chong, who spent the past 20 years in politics – three as a Saanich councillor and 17 as an MLA, spent Tuesday night in a state of optimistic disbelief. The former accountant repeatedly told supporters, “It’s still early. It’s not over till the end.” PleAse see: Chong misses majority, Page A4

Region’s voters veer farther away from ruling Liberals Daniel Palmer With the return of a B.C. Liberal government and the toppling of stalwart MLA Ida Chong, south Vancouver Island’s interests could face dark days ahead, warns one political expert. Only two of the 14 seats on Vancouver Island are likely to be represented by B.C. Liberal MLAs, with a near-sweep of the south Island by the B.C. NDP (New Democrat Gary Holman’s razor-thin lead over Liberal Stephen Roberts in Saanich North and the Islands is likely to trigger a judicial recount). “The Liberals have won a solid majority government without anybody on the (south Island),” said Dennis Pilon, associate professor of political science at York University and a specialist in B.C. politics. “Unless the Liberals figure they could gain back that support, there’s really not much incentive for them to work very hard to woo those voters.” Former B.C. NDP leader Carole James, reelected in Victoria-Beacon Hill on Tuesday, said a lack of Liberal MLAs on the south Island means her party will “work with ministers and
P la c e s to E n jo y !
within the system” to ensure regional interests are addressed. “We’ve gone to bat for our constituents in the past and I think they can count on us to do that again and to work both ways, as a strong opposition but also as a strong team to propose solutions,” she said. While the Liberals attained a 50-seat majority in the legislature, they only captured 44.4 per cent of the popular vote. “It will be very tough for the government to ignore a very strong message (of NDP support) in the Capital Region and on Vancouver Island,” James said. She and fellow south Island MLAs Rob Fleming, Maurine Karagianis, Lana Popham and John Horgan are accustomed to working in opposition, James said, and will work with the fourthterm B.C. Liberals on regional issues as transit, affordable housing and child poverty. “We’ve had four wasted years of the government, between the HST and leadership campaigns and all that. It’s been a bit of a write-off, as far as a term of government,” Karagianis said. “Hopefully … we’ll get on with governing with the province of British Columbia.” The lack of B.C. Liberal representation on the south Island means the regional business community will have to work harder to attain needed infrastructure spending on projects such as light rail transit and the Victoria airport runway expansion, said Bruce Carter, Greater
Victoria Chamber of Commerce CEO. “Ida (Chong) was an incredibly valuable representative (for the Island) and provided balance and regional representation at cabinet and caucus tables. “Now, when discussions happen, we’re going to have to rely on non-resident MLAs to represent our needs,” Carter said, referring to Liberal MLAs Michelle Stilwell (Parksville-Qualicum) and Don McRae (Comox Valley). The global economy is likely to improve in the coming years, Carter added, allowing the B.C. Liberals to continue to expand their natural resource exportation policies. “Certainly LNG will happen and the two pipeline projects will receive full consideration.” Pilon said an NDP government would likely have bolstered the Capital Region economy by hiring more public servants and making changes to B.C. Ferries, issues the Liberals likely won’t feel pressured to address anytime soon. “Politicians think, ‘Why should I be nice to you? What are you going to do for me?’ If they don’t think they need you, there’s no need to keep throwing stuff at you,” he said. Preliminary voter turnout for the province was 52 per cent, slightly above the record-low 2009 turnout of 51 per cent. Voter turnout was down, however, in all seven Capital Region electoral districts. –with reporting from Kyle Slavin and Kyle Wells dpalmer@vicnews.com

Silver lining for Chong
Ida Chong’s defeat comes with a silver lining for her, in the form of severance and a million-dollar pension, says Jordan Bateman, Canadian Taxpayers Federation B.C. Director. Chong is in line to receive some $1.55-million in pension if she lives to 80 years old. Her year one pension is $89,405. For every dollar a retiring or defeated MLA contributes to their pension, they receive $4 from taxpayers. “The one caveat in this is a period between 1996 and 2007. MLAs had to make a proactive choice to buy back that missing time under a richer (RRSP) system,” Bateman said. “(Chong) being an accountant, she should know the value of buying those back.” She also has the potential to receive $101,859 in severance over the next 15 months, and up to $9,000 as a training allowance if she needs to update her education if she chooses to go back to work.

There’s some projects I’d still love to continue on with and can only hope that the new MLA will do that. “It’s bittersweet,”

third of the votes in their respective ridings. Olsen, Gary Holman (NDP) and Stephen Roberts (Liberal) jockeyed for positions all night, with Holman ultimately being declared the victor, but only by 52 votes over Roberts. “We have to see what happens when the (absentee) votes come in,” Pilon said. “That could convert to somebody else.” Voter turnout in Oak Bay-Gordon Head, without counting absentee ballots, was 64 per cent, down from 66.9 per cent in 2009. The final count on election night had Weaver receiving 9,602 votes; Chong with 7,124; Van der Veen with 6,772; and Conservative Greg Kazakoff with 455. kslavin@saanichnews.com

With the Victoria Day long weekend approaching, Canadian Blood Services’ Victoria clinic is reaching out to potential donors. There is a continuous requirement for all types, but the greatest need is for O-negative – the only blood type compatible with all others. “When someone’s life is on the line and seconds matter, there’s no time to check blood type, so hospital patients receive O-negative blood,” Ed Yee, director of donor and clinic services for the B.C. and Yukon region of Canadian Blood Services, said in a release. Appointments to donate must be booked ahead of time. Upcoming clinics happen tomorrow (May 18) from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.; May 21 to 23, 10:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., and May 24, 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. The Victoria clinic is at 3449 Saanich Rd.

High-tempo turns, team tactics and break-aways are on their way to Windsor Park during the Oak Bay Bikes/ Victoria Wheelers Criterium this Sunday. “It’s one of the most spectator friendly,” said Ian Phillips, a regular volunteer with the Victoria Cycling League. “It holds your attention the entire time because there’s something happening all the time. There’s usually a bunch of break aways and a sprint to the finish.” Race organizer Jenny Skinner of the Victoria Wheelers Club agrees and would like to see more of the community with their lawn chairs out along the twokilometre loop. “I would love to make this more European-style where people are out and cheering and having barbecues on their lawns and making an event of it themselves,” Skinner said. “With every race and every year it develops more and more.” Unlike some longer road races out in the country, it’s also easy to make it back to

athletes and first-timers out on the road. That we can play a small part in athletic development and that the community is so connected and you can play a part in the connectivity – it’s great.” The race, which is expected to draw about 80 to 90 racers of all abilities, is also held in conjunction with a women’s clinic this year, upping the number of female
competitors. There’s also been an influx of teenaged riders to the sport in Victoria within the last year, with the criterium’s C division, comprised of young and novice riders, nearly doubling in size from last year’s event. Young riders will come from across the Island to participate with some travelling from Campbell River and Comox to ride the velodrome each Tuesday and Thursday after school. “The more races that are available, the more riders come down,” Phillips said. The first of the three-part race series kicks off this Sunday, May 19 from 8 a.m. until noon at Windsor Park. Subsequent races are set for the same time and place, July 7 and 28. Despite the speed, the turns and the occasional crash, the event is a relaxing one to watch, Phillips added. The roads surrounding the perimeter of Windsor Park will be closed from 7:30 a.m. to noon. Racers register at the site up until five minutes prior to the 8 a.m. start. For more information, visit victoriawheelers.ca. nnorth@saanichnews.com

OUR VIEW
Green mouse may yet roar The movers and shakers in the B.C. NDP will no doubt lose plenty of sleep given the party’s underwhelming performance in Tuesday’s provincial election. While its candidates once again rolled to a near sweep in Greater Victoria and Vancouver Island, the NDP has more to think about than simply how to get the better of the B.C. Liberals. The win by Andrew Weaver of the Green Party over longtime Liberal MLA Ida Chong and tireless NDP campaigner Jessica Van der Veen in Oak Bay-Gordon Head opens the door a crack for a party seen for years as a quirky collection of environmentalists. In terms of the popular vote, perhaps a better measurement of public support for a party, the Greens fared roughly the same as 2009, taking about eight per cent provincewide. But over the longer term, the presence of the vocal Weaver in the legislature may give the public a glimpse of just how well a Green party MLA can represent constituents. It’s the old “show me, don’t tell me” scenario. If people like how the Nobel Prize-winning scientist handles himself and takes the Liberals to task, it may just encourage more voters to step out of their comfort zone and go Green next election. And that will mostly take votes away from the NDP, which has tried hard to incorporate a business-friendly strategy with being environmentally responsible, so as not to alienate anyone. It’s tough to play well to both crowds, as the Liberals know. Among the reasons they emerged victorious on election day was they stuck primarily to one message, that of keeping a strong economy and job creation front and centre. Winning one seat among 85 in the legislature isn’t exactly earth shattering, and the B.C. Greens face their own uncertainty with leader Jane Sterk losing for a second straight time. But the party is poised to alter B.C.’s political history more than we realize. It just might take a while. What do you think? Give us your comments by e-mail: editor@vicnews.com or fax 250-386-2624.

There seems to be a collaborative instinct and willingness at the staff level with a stated commitment at the political level, but there appears to be not nearly as much actual day-to-day co-ordination on many issues. This is true for the West Shore as well as the entire region. We live in an extraordinary community and our citizens deserve the very best in forward thinking and innovation on all of these cross-boundary infrastructure issues. To believe that a behind the scenes, unstated Balkanized approach will produce the best solutions is naïve. To ensure that our communities can be healthier, both in terms of economy and quality of life, we need to reach beyond our local concerns to achieve a shared, broader vision of how we want to live together in the Greater Victoria Region. We did it on water, so let’s do it in all the other critical infrastructure areas as well. With the provincial election producing no south Vancouver Island representation in the governing party, it’s more important than ever that we get our collective regional act together.

LETTERS Poor choice made for B.C. pre-election opinion piece Re: Think Hard about B.C.’s future before voting May 14 (Letters, May 10) This opinion piece read like a paid advertorial by the Liberal party, rather than the thoughtful perspective of a former respected business leader – Gwyn Morgan. The fact it was delivered by someone who is a fairly recent arrival to B.C. made it even more distasteful. Did B.C. voters really have
to suffer through the onedimensional prophecies of a dyed-in-the-wool Alberta carbon industrialist? As noted by the editor, Mr. Morgan was once an advisor to Liberal Premier Christy Clark. Left unmentioned is that he also is a member of the elite $100,000 donation club to the B.C. Liberal party, as per Elections B.C., and is listed on the board of directors of the fringe right Fraser Institute.
Investigations are ongoing into hundreds of millions of dollars of bribery payments and illegal political contributions allegedly made by SNC management and staff to secure business contracts. Criminal cases against former SNC personnel are proceeding to court in Quebec and Europe. Billions of dollars of shareholder value have been lost, as SNC stock has plummeted. Any competent board chairman worth
their salt, where substantial company revenues come from Libya, Tunisia, Bangladesh, Algeria – and now, it seems, Montreal –- should have ensured as top priority that an ethics compliance programme was in place and functioning.

Morgan was touted as former CEO of Encana Corp., presumably to correlate business expertise and success to his expressed views.

Readers respond: B.C. election, street population Electors in B.C. fooled by Liberals Liberals are ecstatic and the B.C. NDP depressed, and why wouldn’t they be? Nobody projected the miraculous recovery of the B.C. Liberals, and most assumed a NDP government taking over. However, enough electors decided otherwise, so we are faced with four more years of the Liberal juggernaut in office. What can we learn after the initial shock has devastated our mindless assumptions? One disturbing factor might be the importance of negative messaging and attack ads. The Liberals were merciless in exploiting every little idiosyncrasy that Adrian Dix exhibited or not, making them appear as monumental flaws which spelled disaster if he were allowed to take hold of the premier’s office.
The NDP decided from the start to ignore and not respond to the Liberals’ misinformation. Was that the right decision? Everyone can identify at least one or two gross examples of Liberal mismanagement and incompetence over the past 12 years. And yet, enough voters were entranced by the sound and fury of fabricated scandal and mischief that they kept their belief in the merits and worthiness of most incumbent Liberal MLAs to return the party to power. What were they voting for? More of the same with a thin veneer of hype, reinforcing the idea that life would be wonderful the way it had been engineered by Liberal leaders and party in the past? A travesty, yet one which prevailed and produced the desired results by the big money people who own and control the
As the sick feeling in my stomach begins to subside (it’s similar to the feeling I had when Sarah Palin became the U.S. vice-presidential candidate), I’m seeking out positive solutions. I’m hoping for a huge scandal to bring down the Liberal government before 2017, but here’s a better way. When the government chooses another district for Premier Christy Clark to run in, support and, where appropriate, vote for another candidate in that by-election. Here’s an interesting question:

Victoria Day parade caps long weekend
Plan for threehour stretch of entertainment Don Descoteau News staff
Believe it or not, the busiest time for Island Farms Victoria Day Parade chair Ron Butlin isn’t the week before the annual May long weekend event. “The real crazy week is the week leading up to the entry deadline,” said Butlin, who has overseen organization of the parade for the past 21 years. He had been fretting over the numbers leading up to last month’s cut-off for the 115th annual holiday extravaganza, but sounded pleased this week with the final roster of 129 entries.
“We’ve got 17 American (high school) bands and four Canadian bands, including Spectrum, Reynolds and Lambrick Park (from Greater Victoria),” he said. “Ingraham High from Seattle is making its 43rd consecutive appearance in the parade.” Keeping the parade to a manageable size and duration is a constant concern for Butlin. “Bigger isn’t necessarily better,” he said. “One year we had, I think, 147 entries and it was just too long.” This year’s edition is expected to run about three hours. With the long-range forecast calling for a mainly sunny conditions Monday with highs reaching 18 C, heat shouldn’t play a factor for parade Don Denton/News staff watchers or participants alike.

Luxton rodeo rolling into town
Cherish
News staff
Pull out your Wranglers and get ready for Vancouver Island’s only professional rodeo. Each May long weekend, the Luxton Fairgrounds become the hub of entertainment on the West Shore, with the rodeo, midway rides, games and fair food. The rodeo includes steer wrestling, bull riding, saddle bronc, bareback bronc, barrel racing and tie down and team roping events. “It’s one of the favourite stops for all the cowboys,” said Kynan Vine, director of rodeo administration for Canadian Professional Rodeo Association. “It’s so beautiful there.” From Saturday through Monday, 280 cowboys and cowgirls will compete at Luxton. Top competitors in each event earn about $2,400. “It’s a small rodeo, but it’s still a pretty good payday,” Vine said. Young aspiring cowboys and cowgirls can sign up for the Mutton Bustin’ and boot scramble events. Mutton Bustin’ sees kids aged three to five ride sheep, with their parents running alongside. “We do this hoping one day the
kids will get into rodeo, and it’s fun to watch,” Vine said. Back this year after a two-year hiatus is Dennis Halstread, rodeo clown and barrel man. “He’s really good and the crowd loves him,” said Sandy West, comanager of the Luxton Pro Rodeo. West has managed the event for 31 years along with husband Charlie Price. They organize the 130 volunteers who make the rodeo happen. Events start daily at 2 p.m. and tickets are available at the gate. Adult admission is $20 and children 14 and under are free with an adult. Seniors and students are $15. Adding to the party atmosphere, the Montgomery County Band plays a dance tomorrow (May 18) at Luxton Hall. Tickets must be purchased in advance, from Willow Wind & Tack, 2714 Sooke Rd. Admission to the grounds is free and includes access to vendors, antique farm equipment, blacksmith and heritage displays. The West Coast Amusements midway opens Friday for a sneak preview at 3 p.m. On Saturday, Sunday and Monday the midway opens at 1 p.m. See members.shaw.ca/luxtonrodeo. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Baba Yaga will eat you up Veselka dancers bring Slavic folklore to life Travis Paterson News staff
Children beware, Baba Yaga is coming to life. The Veselka Ukrainian dance school is premiering Baba Yaga’s Supper, an original Ukrainian folk ballet based around the historic character, Sunday (May 19) at the McPherson Playhouse. Danielle Dojack, a Veselka instructor, plays Baba Yaga, a forest witch of Slavic folklore who is all kinds of wicked. Chief among her evils is a disturbing appetite for children. Worry not, the show is happily for all ages. Artistic director Lisa Hall created the storyline and choreographed the dance, which uses all 45 dancers from the school, ages three to 20, based out of the studio located in the Ukrainian Cultural Centre on Douglas Street. Baba Yaga is more than just an ugly old witch. She’s powerful, with a bent back, and a face covered in warts. Her gray hair hasn’t been washed or trimmed in hundreds of years and her clothing is rags.

MMA returns to the Bear A pair of Ultimate Fighting Championship veterans will co-headline AFC 18: Mayhem, as mixed martial arts returns to Bear Mountain Arena on Saturday. Kalib Starnes, of Surrey, enters the Aggression Fighting Championship cage for the fifth time to fight David Perron, out of Vancouver, in one of AFC 18’s coheadliners. Kelowna’s Michael Hill is in the other coheadliner. The Kelowa native was a contestant in season 16 of UFC’s reality show The Ultimate Fighter. He faces a strong opponent in Joel
Tristan Connelly Powell, a Canadian top10 ranked welterweight out of Hamilton. “Both headliners have the chance to be the fight of the night,” said AFC co-owner and matchmaker Darren Owen.
“Perron and Starnes have very good jiujitsu but Starnes is coming off losing a potential fight-of-the-year, when he stood and threw strikes with Joe Doerksen at AFC 11, so you never know,” Owen said. Local talent is the foundation of the AFC and few fighters are as popular as Victoria’s Tristan Connelly from Island MMA, who will fight Jonathan Dubois from the Mainland.

The Canadian championships will feature the best youth climbers in the country as well as a number from the U.S. competing in a range of age categories in two disciplines, speed climbing and difficulty climbing. “If you've never been to see a climbing competition, then you owe it to yourself to come out and watch the nationals over the long weekend,” said Boulders board chair Kimanda Jarzebiak. “We will have some of the best young athletes from across the country at the event, and I know they will put on a fantastic show for all the fans.”
Almost 80 climbers have registered to date for the event including 30 from Alberta, 24 from B.C. and 19 from Ontario. The U.S. will also be represented by four climbers.

Titans silver at Western Nationals
A group of Gordon Head kids have become one of the best under-14 girls volleyball teams in the country. The Victoria Titans Red won silver at the U14 Western Canadian Nationals at Abbotsford’s Tradex centre last weekend. The Titans have consistently butted heads with clubs from much bigger cities, teams that hold tryouts, and prevailed. “We collected our kids from the Gordon Head area, and we’re having success, it’s just one of those things,” said coach Ken Low, also a teacher at Belmont secondary. Nine of the 11 players go to Arbutus middle school while the other two go to Gordon Head middle school. Those two clubs even played each other in this year’s school finals. The Titans won the club volleyball U14 Islands last
month and finished third at the provincials two weeks ago. On Sunday they lost in the Western National finals to Seaside out of Surrey and White Rock, 25-20, 25-19. “Ten of our 11 are headed to Mount Doug secondary next year, so they should have a pretty good team,” Low said. The Victoria Titans Blue also competed at Westerns and finished tied for 11th overall. The Victoria Volleyball Chargers U14 girls finished 10th in Div. 2. Next for the Titans Red is the Emerald City Classic at University of Washington, May 25 to 27.

Duch won’t be available for the entire season as he will also play for the MLL Hamilton Nationals. He also lives and works in Calgary. Duch will be fully available come playoff time, however. “That was the only stumbling block along the way,” said Shamrocks GM Chris Welch. The only exception is if the Nationals reach the MLL championship weekend. In 72 playoff and regular season games with the Shamrocks, Duch has 152 goals and 171 assists for 323 points. The Shamrocks WLA home opener is today (May 17) against the Coquitlam Adanacs. Tailgate party starts at 6 p.m. at Bear Mountain Arena, faceoff at 7:45 p.m.

n Guerrilla Blackboards Project n Thursday, May 9 n Art Gallery of Greater Victoria
Leadership Victoria’s Team Guerrilla Blackboards youth tell all event On Thursday, May 9, Team Guerrilla Blackboards, members of this year’s Leadership Victoria cohort, welcomed sponsors, supporters and the general public to view the results of their nine month project. With the support of their community partner, The Victoria Foundation, Guerrilla Blackboards provided the opportunity for youth in Greater Victoria to express their opinions, thoughts and concerns in a creative and unique way. Large 4’x8’ blackboards were placed around the Greater Victoria region, where youth were encouraged to write in a voice that was real, raw, unedited and uncensored. The information collected was presented to the community in an exhibition at the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, where the team encouraged attendees to “start the conversation.” The team’s hope is that the results of this initiative will be considered by The Victoria Foundation and other grantors for future youth programming within the community. For more information, visit the group’s Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/GuerrillaBlackboards.
Kluane Buset-Rivet puts a post-it note with her comments on one of the blackboards.
