Cancer survivor promotes Race for Life Charla Huber News staff

Brett Cunard knows first-hand what it’s like to be treated at B.C. Children’s Hospital for cancer. Now he and the rest of his BMX crew are raising money to help other kids facing the illness. Greater Victoria BMX hosts its annual Race for Life event, Aug. 10 at West Shore Parks and Recreation. BMX clubs across the country host the races to raise money for children with cancer. Brett, a BMX rider for six years, was diag-

nosed Feb. 5, 2013 and went through aggressive treatments. “I don’t like going to the hospital. Kids with cancer probably get more needles in six months than an adult does in a lifetime,” Brett said. Brett was able to remain an out patient during treatment, but he saw kids at the hospital who weren’t as lucky. “The sad part was having to go upstairs and seeing the kids with the terminal cancer,” said Brett. “I also saw kids getting blood transfusions and it was really sad.” The 12-year-old Langford boy has been

in remission from non-Hodgkins lymphoma for two months and his hair is starting to grow back. “Now I can play hockey and ride my bike,” Brett said. “I had to watch all my friends play and it was boring. I couldn’t even go on a trampoline.” Although in remission, he still has a chemotherapy port in his chest that has to be flushed at the hospital every month. Brett still makes trips to B.C. Children’s Hospital for X-rays, check ups and blood work. He will be monitored every three months for the first year to ensure the can-

cer is gone. “I never thought it would hit home,” said Brett’s mom, Sarah Cunard. “I’ve been to children’s hospital and I’ve seen what they do. It’s been a huge weight off my shoulders. I am always going to worry about him for the rest of his life.” Throughout his treatment Brett had friends who shaved their heads in solidarity, including his good friend Gavin O’Driscoll who will participate in the Ride for Life.

Annual thrifty spree helps kids Charla Huber

Charla Huber/News staff

West Shore RCMP Tour de Rock rider Donna Fraser and her inspiration, cancer survivor Lucas Savage get ready for the annual West Shore RCMP garage sale, Aug. 10. sive treatments he was told he was in remission in April 2013. “It’s so good to feel normal again,” Savage said. Savage met Fraser through the Juan de Fuca curling club five years ago and is honoured to be the inspiration for her ride. In 2011 Fraser’s husband Rod Fraser was the West Shore RCMP rider who also credited Savage as his inspiration. “It’s awesome and really cool,” the

teen said. Savage and his mother Dana Savage will volunteer at the sale slated for Aug 10 at the detachment. “Community support is key. It’s a huge way to let families (dealing with cancer) know there is support out there,” said the proud mom. “You might not know someone with cancer, but your neighbour might or your friend’s friends might.” Savage will keep his eye out at the

sale for parts for the 1968 Yamaha motorbike he’s restoring. One of Fraser’s favourite finds from a previous sale is a black and white Winnie the Pooh picture that she expects to gift to her first grandchild, due in September. The West Shore RCMP garage sale and barbecue is Aug. 10 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the detachment, 698 Atkins Ave. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

It’s O’Driscoll’s seventh year participating, but this year is different after watching his friend live with cancer. “Having a friend with cancer is pretty scary, but I know he would make it though. He makes it through everything. He can get a rock in the face and not cry,” O’Driscoll said. This year racing is on the BMX track plus ramps and jumps will be set up in the velodrome where riders can land into an airbag. Greater Victoria BMX’s Race for Life is on Aug. 10.

IN BRIEF

Thetis Cove concerns

News staff

If you’re up for bargain shopping and helping kids, the West Shore RCMP annual garage sale should not be missed. Donna Fraser, a West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable, is on this year’s Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock. While new to the tour, she is no stranger to the charity garage sale. She’s organized it since 2011. Each year the sale draws in more money, last year it raised $5,000 and Fraser hopes to exceed that this year. “I am finding less time (to organize) this year because I am out riding with the team,” Fraser said. This month, Fraser and the rest of the tour riders conquered Mount Washington in preparation for the fall trip that will have police and media riders cycle the Island 1,000 kilometres tip-to-tip. “It was definitely a challenge. The biggest part was realizing who I was doing it for,” Fraser said. “I was thinking of Lucas, that’s what got me up the hill. At one point I thought of a treatment Lucas went through where they put two needles in his legs at the same time,” Fraser said, explaining the pain in her legs was less than Savage experienced during his dual inter-muscular treatment. Savage, 16, was diagnosed with T cell lymphoblastic lymphoma in December of 2010 and after aggres-

races run from 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. About 100 riders are expected to come out. New riders are welcome. The club hopes to raise more than $5,000. Last year clubs from across the province raised $39,000 altogether. “I’d like to see us beat that and make more than $40,000,” said Kathleen Church of Greater Victoria BMX. “It’s different this time. We saw all the support Brett got and every child deserves that.” To donate to the fundraiser email bmxvictoria@gmail.com. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

Gavin O’Driscol, left, and cancer survivor Brett Cunard are raising money for the Greater Victoria BMX Race for Life at West Shore Parks and Recreation.

View Royal council opposes the idea of a Capital Regional District sewage treatment plant being built at Thetis Cove. “We have the highest and best use for Thetis Cove planned,” Coun. John Rogers said. “Talk and speculation via the press, and via whoever else, ignores a lot of really important facts in this whole process. … It would hardly be the best use of property.” Rogers said the topic of sewage treatment at Eagle Creek has come up with the CRD, but he wouldn’t say more.

Month of July sunniest ever

With no rain in July, last month joined July 1958, August 1986 and September 1991 as the only dry months on record in Victoria. The 432.8 hours of sunshine recorded at Victoria International Airport were the most ever in July or any month. The previous record was 421.5 hours, set in 1985.

Shooting range remediation

The CRD will host an open house on the remediation of a former shooting range at Thetis Lake Regional Park. The goal is to restore it back to naturalized parkland. The work is to begin this month. It includes installing groundwater wells, investigating the extent of contaminations, dismantling soil berms and determining future use. The open house will be held at Strawberry Vale Community Hall, 11 High St. Aug. 8, 4 to 7 p.m.

View Royal green-lights Eagle Creek plan Kyle Wells News staff

View Royal council gave the green light to Phase 1 of the Eagle Creek Village development to be built across from Victoria General Hospital. After months of negotiations and a few changes to the plan, councillors unanimously gave the nod to developer Omicron to go ahead with the commercial and residential development. It also means the developer can go ahead with the land purchase. “As a result we’ll be breaking ground in mid-September,” said Peter Laughlin, project manager. “We’re now fully rezoned and looking forward to moving the project forward.” At a council meeting on Tuesday, July 30 final approval was passed for the bylaw amendment and the development permit which allows the project to go ahead. This comes after an environmental assessment and approval from the provincial ministry of transportation and infrastructure. The property sits on a parcel of land bordered by Watkiss Way and Helmcken Road, and includes the “VIHA Triangle.” “Everybody worked very diligently from both sides, our con-

There’s been an extraordinary interest, I gather.” Over the course of the process some changes to the plan were brought about, including moving of the residential portion of the project to a new location on the site, in consideration of casting shadows over neighbouring residents. The various heights of the buildings have also seen tweaking and an alley was introduced into the plans to create better pedestrian flow. While he realizes you can’t please everyone, Laughlin believes all involved have done a good job of compromising on contentious points. “Issues are always a work

John Rogers, chair of the planning and development committee, said the rezoning has been split into two components to get the project moving. For now all that is approved is site clearing and foundation work. The other development permit, which includes form and character of the buildings, will be considered in September, Rogers said. Staff has enough confidence in the developer to recommend approving the first part of the permit, while waiting for some loose ends to be wrapped up on the rest, Rogers said. “My understanding is that

OUR VIEW

Small steps to labour peace W

hen the Liberal government and the B.C. Teachers’ Federation signed a short collective agreement in the summer of 2012, nobody anticipated the same players would be back at the bargaining table 12 months later. But here we are in 2013 with the re-elected B.C. Liberal government making drastic changes to how the bargaining process will go this time around. Last week’s announcement by education minister Peter Fassbender to remove school trustees from the board of the B.C. Public School Employers’ Association could be a step in the right direction for both sides. The minister’s claim that this will allow the union to negotiate directly with the government, as opposed to an intermediary whose hands are essentially tied, should give the teachers more clout at the bargaining table. For whatever reason, whenever the BCTF goes through negotiations it’s a more tumultuous, public process than other unions in the province. Having to go through a middleman – the BCPSEA – wasn’t working to anyone’s benefit, especially given that the government, which has the power to legislate teachers back to work or tear contracts, was using BCPSEA as a wall between them and the teachers. This shift shows the province is taking a slightly softer and more direct approach to bargaining with the teachers, and that’s a good thing. But it’s likely motivated in some ways by their unprecedented move to seek a 10-year agreement with the teachers. As it stands, there’s nothing in it for the BCTF to agree to such a lengthy contract. Ten years is an unbearably long time to be locked into a contract, especially when one considers the ups and downs of the Canadian economy we saw in the last decade. If the government is trying a “we scratch your back, you scratch ours” approach to bargaining, it’s not going to work. A more open bargaining process between both sides is a step in the right direction to hopefully long-term labour peace, but 10 years is too long. What do you think?

Whether the review of that coal mine is federal, provincial or combined, it requires extensive consultation with affected parties. That’s great, but all that goodwill could evaporate quickly if a coal mine ends up getting a permit despite Tahltan objections. Rustad’s Nechako Lakes constituency is also a focal point for oil and gas pipeline proposals. Donaldson highlighted another problem. Last year the government signed a reconciliation agreement with the Gitanyow First Nation near Terrace, one of many communities struggling to get through the B.C. treaty negotiation process. That agreement included a joint land-use plan. Then the Environmental Assessment Office asked the Gitanyow for its input on proposed gas pipelines through its territory, to feed the government’s liquefied natural gas plans. Again, the joint land-use plan has no provision for pipelines. The Gitanyow hereditary chiefs wrote to the B.C. government in July, threatening to go to court over the pipeline proposal and questioning the value of their hard-won reconciliation agreement. Resource revenue sharing agreements and shared land-use plans are well-intentioned and represent real progress. But these situations show how fragile they are.

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

The prime minister ignored him. The National Health Council is the body charged with refining Romanow’s recommendations and sharpening the efficiency and sensitivity of national health care. A decision to axe the council will hurt every Canadian from Ottawa to Langford, directly or indirectly. Yet the prime minister is pushing ahead with it. Co-operation among the provinces – as in the bulk buying of pharmaceutical drugs – has already saved tens of millions. The Harper feds are also stonewalling provincial requests for an intense national search for missing aboriginal women, and for relief from a federal jobs grant program which they estimate will cost each province $600 million a year without counterbalancing benefit. Federal dominance over the provinces is based on wider taxing power that yields more money. But the balance can be evened if the provinces find ways to multiply their income. One way is solar roads with built-in sun-panels that can yield millions of dollars per kilometre. Another is a device for capturing the rolling energy of cars. But the energy we most need to stir up is the sleeping zeal of Conservative back-benchers to serve the people who elected them. • G.E. Mortimore is a longtime columnist with the Goldstream News Gazette.

LETTERS Hot rodder move to Langford no solution I’m perplexed at the notion beautiful downtown Langford is a better place for a car show than Royal Oak Shopping Centre. Parking in downtown Langford is an awkward mess. There is very little parking on the street. The apparent difference is a welcome mat moved from Saanich to Langford, but since the problem at Royal Oak was caused in substantial part by inconsiderate car enthusiasts, will they also hog parking and drive carelessly in Langford? And there’s the jerk behav-

I’ve challenged the notion that the Royal Oak enthusiasts are some how better because many are lawyers – that’s a hard sell to most people. My observations at Royal Oak are that there are several demographics, though I’ll grant that “retired” is probably the largest there. It’s really psychographics – the dishonesty of endangering others and hogging space does not match demographics. The vocal enthusiasts at

In addition, we were wondering why it seems to be impossible to find an industrial area for this sewage processor?

Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart and Dr. Chris Snow

What is 20/20 vision? You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20 vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you? Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision. 20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes. 20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharpness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that distance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20. The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease influence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some people who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20. If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.

Marty Adams is dismayed by trees falling at the future site of Belmont secondary. “We live across the street and we knew the trees were getting cut down,” said Adams who wishes there was a recent consultation with residents prior to the trees being cut down. The trees were removed at the former Glen Lake elementary school site so construction of the new high school can begin. “We are only cutting down the required trees for the new building,” Lindsay Vogan, media relations for Sooke School District, said explaining they have to comply with regulations that the trees be at least 50 feet from the building and the field. Most of the trees being removed are along Langford Lake Road to allow for parking. “We will be replanting trees on the property,” Vogan said. Adams sees the falling as a reminder of the traffic that will

A tender for the new View Royal fire hall is projected under budget. Council voted last week to award the project to Ledcor Construction Limited at the price of just over $6.04 million. The total budget for the project including borrowing costs is just under $7.5 million, which includes costs not a part of the tender. The budget for the tender portion of the job is about $6.3 million, with a three per cent contingency, meaning

the tender is below budget by around $230,000. The town also expects to recover the taxes portion of the tender, meaning a further $287,681 could be saved. Good news also comes in the form of the completion of the first part of the rezoning and development permit process for Eagle Creek Village. This means an amenity contribution of about $1 million will be available for the fire hall project, a portion of the funding which caused some concern for councillors as the project hit roadblocks. “That gave us the assurances that we would be able to proceed with the fire hall without any further borrowing or burden to the taxpayer,” said Coun. John Rogers. “The worst-case scenario did not occur.” Ledcor, which has its B.C. division based out of Vancouver and is active throughout Canada and the U.S.A., has completed a wide range of projects from the Art Gallery of Alberta in Edmonton to oil sands infrastructure to a variety of buildings at the University of British Columbia. The process to find a builder began in late May, with 13 companies expressing interest. That list was whittled down to seven who were invited to tender by July 29. Of the five companies which had their applications in on time, Ledcor was the least expensive, with Kinetic Construction Ltd. coming in as the most expensive at just over $6.4 million. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

Fast Forward to Graduation Program The full program consists of four academic classes (Apprenticeship and Workplace Math 11, Communications 12, English 12, and Social Studies 11) and two electives (Sustainable Resources 12 and Film and Television 12); and to be part of this program, students may enrol in as little as one to all of these courses. This is a program for all types of learners. The classes are smaller, and the room provides an amicable, businesslike atmosphere, much like an office or workplace. Despite any apprehensions students may have about coming back to school, if they are committed and motivated, Fast Forward is the right place to get it done. “My philosophy is that under the right circumstance, anybody can learn virtually anything. I love my job and find it all the more rewarding when students start seeing the value of school. I guarantee that if you’re dedicated and want to graduate, I’ll be there to help you do it every step of the way.” – Andrew Still

What the Students say - This is not just a place to come to school and be unnoticed. This is a place where people make you feel welcome no matter the age anything you need, these people will find a way to help you. Thank you Andrew, and all of the WestShore Annex Staff!

A fresh new look at a

classic musical

utting on your own professional production of one of the most popular and iconic musicals of all time is no easy feat. That’s the monumental task facing director Sara-Jeanne Hosie as Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre prepares to stage My Fair Lady. “Every director and every group of actors wants to tell the story their own way, and the challenge to that is to tell it the truest way we can,” says Hosie. “I definitely think we’ve done a fresh, new look on this show; a fresh new take on this story.” The story, to those unfamiliar with it, is based on George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion, about the unrefined Cockney Eliza Doolittle and the well-to-do Henry Higgins, who aims to transform her into a lady. “I feel like I’m bringing my own brand to the role, and my level of skill as a singer, dancer and actor,” says Amanda Lisman, who plays Eliza, a role made famous by Julie Andrews and Audrey Hepburn. “It’s just about having fun with it, and finding the truth of the character to me.” Both Hosie and Lisman say My Fair Lady is one of the most well-rounded musicals of all time, complete with great music and a top-notch story. “What I love about Shaw’s writing is all of his women that he writes are strong and witty and very intelligent, and so that is a joy to play,” Lisman says. “Eliza’s is a great journey to take. What Shaw gives you, which perhaps other musicals don’t have, is a great play at the centre of the music.” Hosie was originally slated to be choreographer on the

show, with Blue Bridge artistic director Brian Richmond taking charge as director. “As we did the audition process and saw lots of really great people, it came to our attention that we had our Henry Higgins behind the desk directing. We realized he

should play the part,” Hosie says. With Lisman and Richmond, along with Kholby Wardell as Freddie, in the lead roles, Hosie says the 17-person cast has been a delight to direct. “It’s been wonderful to find this story, and come in and collaborate with the cast for their ideas and thoughts. I think we’ve found a lovely balance,” the director says. Lisman, whose recent performances have been on the more dramatic side, says she’s enjoying playing Eliza and returning to her roots in comedy. “It’s such a joy going to rehearsals every day, singing, dancing and engaging on another level than just scene work,” she says. “I think one of the things I enjoy most is the humour of the show. It’s fantastic to explore that aspect of it.” “Amanda comes from such a comedic place in her life. She’s a very strong comedian,” adds Hosie. “What she’s infusing into Eliza, the comedy she’s bringing into Eliza is wonderful and is so fresh. She’s definitely going the full gamut and working very hard to be convincing as the different (incarnations of) Eliza.” Lisman, a Victoria native who’s ventured to Toronto for some of her most recent roles, says it’s a treat working for Blue Bridge in her hometown. “I’m so happy that they’ve created a demand for classical theatre in Victoria. I’ve had to go elsewhere to work and get the challenges as a professional actor, so to have them fill the void of classical musical theatre in my hometown is fantastic for me,” she says. My Fair Lady runs Aug. 6 to 18 at the McPherson Playhouse. Tickets ($25-$60) are available at the McPherson box office, at rmts.bc.ca or by calling 250386-6121.

Brain Wellness: The Secret to Longevity

Kyle Wells News staff

A former lawyer turned professional speaker is on her way to Texas as one of 10 people out to prove they have the best way with words. Diane A. Ross, who lives in Nanoose Bay and works in Victoria and Vancouver, heads to Dallas to take part in the eWomen Network’s 2013 North America’s Next Great Speaker competition tomorrow (Aug. 8). “It feels like a lot of pressure and I think if somebody said to me ‘You have an hour,’ I would feel way more confident,” she said. “It’s sort of like me saying to people ‘Take a chance … You can do it.’ … I’m trying to apply the same thing.” Ross was one of hundreds to send in 90-second video clips explaining why she should be considered for the title. The top 15 submissions were selected by judges, then posted online for the public to vote for their favourites. That whittled the list down to 10. The contestants will each give a three-minute speech in Dallas, from which judges select three finalists. Those remaining must then present a six-minute speech, which will determine the winner. In her former life as a litigation lawyer, Ross honed the skills of presenting arguments and getting her point across while still playing to the sympathies of her audience. She left the profession at 40

Diane A. Ross is heading to Dallas, Texas to prove she has the best gift for gab as one of the 10 finalists for the 2013 North America’s Next Great Speaker competition. in hopes of finding a career that would bring more positivity into her life and others. She studied executive coaching at Royal Roads University, beginning her journey to her present career. Her speciality is difficult conversations in the workplace. The topic has led to speaking engagements, workshop presentations and a book, The Elephant in the Office: Super-Simple Strategies for Difficult Conversations at Work. This will be the focus of her speech in Texas.

“I think what I’m going to do is I’m going to talk to people about how you can prepare for and have a conversation in just three sentences,” Ross said. “We assume that it’s this big, complicated thing, but it can actually be as simple as three sentences.” She is now working on a second book focused on personal relationships, called Do You Want to be Right, or Do You Want to Have More Sex? It’s due out this September. reporter@vicnews.com

SPORTS Time to lose the ‘isms’

NEWS GAZETTE

How to reach us

Travis Paterson 250-480-3279 sports@vicnews.com

t’s time to point out something obvious about sexism and racism in sports – it’s still bleeping here. In seven years of sports reporting I’ve found fewer and fewer things surprise me. There will be some unexpected accomplishments by a local athlete. You don’t know who, or when, but you know Travis it’s going to hapPaterson pen. Island Insider It’s easy to get caught up in the flow of things. But a recent conversation has left an imprint on my approach to sports. It came out of a routine follow-up email. The News’ published a story last month about University of Victoria’s summer class on the Tour de France. The story was based on an interview with the course designer, professor Emile de Rosnay, who is also an elite cyclist, still racing at 40. The followup, naturally, was with a student. Turns out this student is a woman who is not interested in sports, which went against my suspicion, that my request to interview a student would yield a response from one of the UVic Vikes athletes who were taking the course. I knew there were Vikes studying it because I followed the course’s Twitter hashtag, #TdF325. The student is Daphne Shaed, who confessed she is not a sports fan, but was riveted by the course and the Tour. I was riveted by our conversation. So riveted I had to cut it off after 27 minutes to wrap my head around what she was pointing out. Shaed speaks her mind. She’s the director of Camosun Women’s Centre and a sociology major at UVic. Gender, sex and race equality are among her priorities and her

strengths. We didn’t talk about the fact “pro-gay” athletes could be arrested during the 2014 Winter Olympics because it’s against Russian law. We just didn’t have time. So maybe she’s not passionate about sports, but Shaed does have an eye for things shiny and bright, I discover. “I really appreciated the technology and science of the Tour bicycles, enough to get me riding my 40-pound mountain bike all over town,” she said. “Now that I’m on my bike I’m noting all the cycling brands which are on the Tour, the companies (which lead the world in bike technology).” She’s currently up to 100 kilometres a week on her bike, which she dug out from storage at her parents house after many years away from it. But that’s about where the Tour’s positive influence ended for Shaed. As someone who has come to love the Tour since Ryder Hesjedal reintroduced it to me, I was coming to accept it for what it is, without thinking about it. A race for white guys. “First of all, it’s been running for 100 years and it’s a very Euro-centric race with few, if any, self-identified persons of colour,” Shaed said. Right, I can see that. Oh wait. So there might be more than just one or two Tour-ready cyclists from Asia, one of the world’s most populated areas? “In Asia and South Asia, bikes are a dominant mode of transportation, yet you’re not seeing many Asians on the tour.” OK, I’m starting to get it now. “Secondly, there’s no women, or women’s race.” I point out to Shaed that there was a women’s race, the Grande Boucle, from 1984 to 2009. It was originally called Tour Cycliste Féminin, or Tour Féminin. Except the not-so-inclusive (male) thinkers of the Tour de France felt it infringed on their name, and asked to have it changed. Grande Boucle was a good pick as it means big

IN BRIEF Rebels host Sun at Westhills

Shamrocks home Friday to Lakers Graham Watson/Garmin-Sharp

Ryder Hesjedal celebrates a well deserved podium celebration at the Giro d’Italia in 2012 but... what are the kisses for again? Camosun Women’s Centre director Daphne Shaed questions the obvious: “Do queer cyclists get a kiss from models of the same sex?” loop and is a nickname for the Tour de France and is all-inclusive. Sponsorship dwindled and the race is still on hiatus. Even just a gental, topical dissection of the Tour de France left me with the reporter’s itch that only Google can scratch. So I Googled. Then I called Shaed back for more. “In Italy they have the Giro Rosa. It’s named for the same pink jersey the leading male cyclist, such as 2012 winner Hesjedal, wears in the Giro d’Italia,” I told her. But why bother. The Rosa is one of the only remaining Grand Tours for women, though there is a growing appetite to reinstate the Grand Boucle, among other races. It’s easy to credit the Tour de France for what it is, the top cycling race in the world. But it’s also hard to blame organizers for its faults. They inherited the doping problem (which is soon to be a polarizing topic in most sport) and are working on it. But sexism and racism, which is also inherent, is being convienently brushed aside while doping scandals stand front and centre. What I’m left with is a new real-

ization that sports, the competitions themselves, don’t really change. The only things that change are the theatre and environment around sports. Sure, the rules of some sports are tweaked to increase the excitement level for fans. Other rules are adjusted to account for the evolution of the human physique as we become bigger, faster and stronger (and better at cheating). If anything, the complication of dealing with doping looks difficult, while dealing with sexism and racism in sports looks much easier. All sports should have some sort of long-term plan for equality. Force sponsors to run a women’s team. By the time our kids are grow up they won’t know a time when the Tour de France was for white men only. It’s a trickle over effect to other sports. International programs such as soccer and rugby are great at promoting the tournament’s for both sexes. Get the professional organizations going and then we can focus on including queer transgender athletes, too. sports@vicnews.com

Ottawa and after provincials the dynamic duo will have to part ways. “I just want to go there and experience it, it’s our passion. We’ve been training for two years for this,” said Holborn. The two 13 year olds have been competing against older players for most of their competitions because there weren’t any U12 or U13 teams locally. At provincials they will compete against other players their age. “I am excited to actually compete against girls in our age group,” said Purdy adding it’s harder playing against older, more experienced players. Neither girl wants to give up the sport, but both sound wary of

Both girls began competitive club volleyball in Grade 6 and not long after they shifted to beach volleyball. “You get more court time, but it’s hard because the sand gets rid of your momentum,” Holborn said. “I like beach volleyball because you get to play the whole time and you get to pretty much touch the ball every time,” Purdy said. Gearing up for their final time on the court together the two girls practise five days a week. Aside from developing skills the two built a strong friendship and have grown as people. “We used to be really shy, but we’ve really gotten out of shell as we’ve gotten to know each other,” said Holborn, a Langford resident. The two girls will compete at provincials in Parksville, Aug. 10 and 11 and hope to earn gold before Holborn moves. charla@goldstream gazette.com
