SEARCH AT SEA

A young Saanich man remains missing after his canoe capsized Friday night near Ten Mile Point during a camping venture that turned terribly tragic.
Two young men, each 20-year-old Saanich
residents, launched their canoe from Tele-graph Bay Cove July 6 with the intention of camping on nearby Discovery Island.
The canoe capsized when they transited Baynes Channel near Ten Mile Point and the men clung to a dry bag of camping gear. Residents of the point heard their cries for help and called police. Neither was wear-ing a life jacket, and no personal floatation devices were in the canoe.
One of the men was found clinging to Tod Rock near Mary Tod Island off Oak Bay at 12:25 a.m. He was plucked from the
rocks with hypothermia, but released in good health Saturday from Royal Jubilee Hospital.
“He was severely hypothermic when they found him, but the best that could be expected for being in the water for an hour and a half,” said Kim Bentzon, station leader with the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue, station 33, Oak Bay, who attended the call.
Unfortunately after an exhaustive water and shoreline search Friday night and Sat-urday morning, the second man hasn’t been
found (as of the News deadline Monday). “The fellows did not have (personal
floatation devices) and that’s certainly the first thing any boater should always have,” Bentzon said. “For the one fellow who made it to the rock, that was great, but for the other fellow, not so.”
Saanich police Sgt. Dean Jantzen said the men became separated in the water in the dark near Tod Rock.

Athletes, Coaches, and Offi cials from Vancouver Island–Central Coast (Zone 6) will be at the Surrey 2012 BC Summer Games July 19-22
Christine van ReeuwykNews staff
CeltFest Vancouver Island will have its central headquarters at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Oak Bay.
“We’re excited about the partnership with CeltFest. I think it’s a great addition to the Oak Bay community,” said Ron Schuster, director of the
Canadian College of Performing Arts. “We like to be able to support other activities and bring other assets into the community.”
The annual event was held in Shawnigan, Nanaimo and Parksville before making the move to Victoria for its 12th year.
“We’ve had a number of CeltFest related events, like single concerts in Victoria over the years,” said festival producer Carolyn Phillips Cusson. “We’ve always detected a really warm welcome from the Victoria gang.”
Part of the mandate of the CeltFest is to move around the Island, spreading the culture.
“We did search around and we were looking at a number of venues and the CCPA just suited our needs perfectly,” she said. It fit with the multiple
events that include a concert series, summer school and workshops.
“We wanted to contain it in one building to make it manageable,” she said. “They’re very suited to our needs.”
CeltFest kicks off with a free event filled with music and dance in front of municipal hall, 2167 Oak Bay Ave. on July 14 at 1 p.m.
“Although Greater Victoria is all wonderful, the demographic of Oak Bay – there’s certainly lots of Brits and Scots – it just felt like a right place,” agreed her husband and co-producer Rene Cusson. He added there’s been a warm welcome from council and residents.
A number of community events are planned, including by-donation dance classes Monday through Thursday at 2:45 p.m. at Monterey rec centre.
“They’re the social dances, so if you can walk, you can ceilidh dance,” Carolyn said.
CeltFest runs through July 20. See full schedule of workshops and events online at celtfest.ca.
Monterey’s ice cream ceilidhA Celtic celebration featuring

Sing ‘n’ danceTo celebrate the festival coming,
Recreation Oak Bay will bring two workshops by world-class entertain-ers to the Monterey Recreation Cen-tre: The Irish dance workshop with Owen Barrington is Tuesday, July 17 at 3:30 p.m.; a Celtic folk singalong workshop with Lori and Innes Wat-son runs Wednesday, July 18 at 3:30 p.m. Each course costs $20.

Burn patients who receive specialized care at the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s burn unit received a helping hand with their healing.
The Firefighters Burn Fund of Greater Victoria, which has generated $2.5 million over the past 30 years to support burn survivors, presented a cheque on June 29 for $346,865 to the Victoria Hospital Foundation’s Building Care Together campaign.
The funds will pay for expensive equipment for adults who are treated at the burn and complex wound-care unit on the seventh floor of the hospital’s new Patient Care Centre.
Equipment needs at the unit range from a shower mister and pressure-relieving mattresses to ceiling mount lifts, among a long list of items.
“We’re trying to give the best healing environment we can for the patients, and if it costs that kind of money, we’re just glad the citizens of (Greater) Victoria make it happen,” said Mike Finlayson, retired CFB Esquimalt firefighter and chair of the burn fund society.
The money will provide “tremendous relief to patients on the Island who suffer from burns and other complex wounds,” said Dr. Chris Taylor, head of the burn unit.
“The injuries these patients suffer from are some of the most difficult and painful to treat,” he said.
The non-profit Firefighters Burn Fund receives its donations through telemarketing, bequeathments and private donors.
The fund also provides for peer support initiatives, burn training for nurses and the society’s Burn House on Richmond Road, which provides a home away from home for families of burn patients receiving care at Jubilee.

Preparation for vacation includes cancelling the paper, getting a neighbour to bring in the mail, and in Oak Bay, notify-ing the police of your impending departure.
The vacant home program – designed for those vacation-ing for a week or three at a time – marks a year on Aug. 1.
It was a response to one individual who was on a prop-erty crime spree throughout the Capital Region last summer, said Kent Thom, dep-uty chief of Oak Bay police.
“We invited people that were going to be going on vacation to contact our police department,” he explained. “It’s designed for
people who are going on a short term vacation.”
Sgt. Ian Craib came up with the idea after a little online research of similar sized departments in the U.S.
“The homes that were being targeted last summer seemed to be those who were on vaca-tion,” Craib said. “We’re really focussing on the homes that are empty a week to three weeks.”
Residents can contact the police department and answer questions from a checklist iden-
tifying things like what vehicles should be parked at the home, or who the keyhold-ers are.
“We do random checks throughout the time the per-son is away on the vacation,” Thom said. “It’s been very very well received by all the people
using it.” Between Aug. 1 2011 and the
end of that year, Oak Bay police had 138 vacation home check requests. So far this year there have been 80 requests.
“People are thankful there’s a sense of security that we are aware that their homes are vacant,” Craib said. “Being a smaller department, and not having to deal with downtown, we can do more for the residents … at this point it’s not stretching our resources.”
To have your home registered with the Oak Bay police, call 250-592-2424.
“It’s a service we provide, it’s not an obligation,” Thom noted. “It’s just a crime prevention step.” [email protected]
Cops on patrol Oak Bay police have yet
to nab a thief in the act, but there have been some silly moments in the vacant home program.
“We’ve had a couple of comical occurrences,” said deputy chief Kent Thom.
For example, once a resident came home early from vacation and an officer checking the property spooked the resident who was set to call police.

Big Ben and crew got off to a late start in the Vic-Maui race, and left without skipper Jim McLauchlan.
The Oak Bay Sailing School sloop left Friday morning in the cruising division of the Victo-ria to Maui International Yacht Race with first mate Tony Rob-erts subbing as skipper after McLauchlan was hospitalized last week.
“Tony Roberts is a good leader, a great leader and he’s been sup-ported by two or three of the other crew. … He’s doing a grand job in building up the others,” McLauchlan said, still in hospi-tal undergoing tests. “I rely on him. If he hadn’t been on board I would have been dubious about letting them go.”
To make sure all still went smoothly, they delayed the
Thursday start. “They’ve had good training,
and most of them are experi-enced people,” McLauchlan said.
“Everybody on board deserves congratulations on what they’re
doing out there because it’s not easy.”

Big Ben gets late start in race
Weather calm but current strong in area
Black press file
Skipper Jim McLauchlan aboard his yacht Big Ben. The yacht and crew left without McLauchlan, who was grounded for medical reasons late last week.
“His buddy was washed up onto the rock. That’s when the second man was last seen,” Jantzen said. “It’s tragic. They were just in sight of shore.”
Sea conditions were relatively calm with a light breeze and “nothing overly severe,” Bent-zon added.
“In that area there is a lot of current all of the time,” said Steve Hanna, deputy chief of the Saanich fire department, which also responded to the call. “
Whether the tide is strong that day – there is a strong current always.”
Boats from Canadian and U.S. coast guards, Victoria police marine unit, Saanich fire depart-ment boat, RCMP marine unit, Oak Bay police and fire depart-ments combed the waters at night and in the morning, along with a Cormorant helicopter out of Comox.
Saanich search and rescue volunteers hunted the shoreline from Ten Mile Point to Ogden Point from dawn July 7 until the
search was called off in the early afternoon. Jantzen said rescuers just ran out of areas to look, and the search yielded no clues. At approximately 4 p.m. near Race Rocks, a commer-cial fishing vessel from Delta located a canoe the same make, size and appearance to that used by the men.
The incident is now classified as a missing person case. Police aren’t saying if the man likely perished or could have made it to shore somewhere, although police say the window of survival in water at night is about three hours. There are scores of rocky islets between Willows Beach and Dis-covery and Chatham islands.
Saanich major crimes detec-tives have been assigned to the case and are supporting the families of the men. Detectives have determined drugs and alcohol aren’t a factor in the canoe capsizing. Greater Victo-ria Victims Services volunteers
are also assisting the families.Saanich police are asking
boaters and beach-goers to keep watch for the missing man who is described as wearing a
blue Umbro soc-cer zip-up. Missing items include two wooden paddles and a neon green dry bag contain-ing camping equip-ment, an item that investigators are hoping will reveal more clues as to
what happened and perhaps refine a search area, though there is no further search being considered at this point, Jantzen said.
“(Investigators) are really involved to help support the family and to speak to every-body to get a sense of how this happened,” he added.
Anyone with information about this incident or who comes across any of the miss-ing items can contact the Saan-ich police at 250-475-4321.

Seniors should keep their cool this week as Environment Canada predicts weather hitting highs of 27 degrees Satur-day and Sunday in Victoria.
For active seniors it may mean getting out in the garden, but do it safely, says the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
“It’s nice that we have this problem, that we’re finally getting some summer weather. That will benefit people psycho-logically,” said Richard Stanwick, chief medical health officer for VIHA.
“Get out there and enjoy the weather but take the right precautions.”
Use sunscreen as always, and if you’re heading out to the garden, don’t do it between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
“As you get older, you actually have smaller water reserves on board,” Stan-wick said. “Even if you’re physically active and fit, you just don’t have the reserves you used to. … Make sure you have a water bottle, and use it.”
Stay away from caffeine or alcohol that stimulate the kidneys to get rid of excess water.
There are also medications seniors may take that mask the symptoms of overheating, Stanwick warns. So take the precautions and take note if your urine output drops.
“If you don’t have air conditioning or a cooling fan in your apartment or your
suite, this may be a good time to visit the mall,” he said.
Seniors are also more prone to falls as the temperature rises.
“If you get up quickly in hot weather, your likelihood of passing out goes up,” Stanwick said. “If it’s hot, take it slow.”
Special sun care for seniorsSeniors more prone to dehydration as temperatures rise

Has my vision changed?How frequently should one “change ones glass-
es?” There is no hard and fast answer to this ques-tion. Certain people are able to keep the same pre-scription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Near-sighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requir-ing new prescriptions annually for several years.
Typically, most adults will require lenses for read-ing and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if dis-tance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The read-ing prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required.
The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.
Saanich called in on computer theft file
Oak Bay police are using Saanich police identification section in helping snag a com-puter thief. They’re investi-gating after a business in the 2100-block of Oak Bay Ave. was broken into and several offices entered. Four iMac computers and an iBook were stolen.
A witness told police a black SUV was parked in front of the main street level door of the offices around 4:30 p.m. July 8. A tanned white male, described as approximately 45 to 50 years old, five-foot ten-inches tall and 150 to 160 pounds with short dark hair, clean shaven and wearing a light coloured short sleeve shirt with light khaki pants was seen leaving the vehicle. About 10 minutes later the man was seen loading computers into the vehicle. Police continue to investigate.
Crossing pedestrian causes rear-ender
A Central Saanich teen driver’s car was rear ended on Beach Drive near San Car-los Ave. on July 8 by a fellow Central Saanich resident. The 16-year-old was south bound on Beach and made a sudden
stop for a pedestrian crossing in an area with no cross walk. The 21 year-old Central Saan-ich man following didn’t stop in time. Both drivers reported only minor injuries.
Cyclist checks for easy targets
A man on a bike drew atten-tion from a resident in the 1000 block of Deal St. shortly before 1 a.m. on July 3. The citizen saw a man riding a BMX bicycle trying car door handles along the street. Police did not find the suspicious person, who was described as wearing a bicycle helmet and a heavy jacket.
Open vehicles make easy targets
A series of vehicles left insecure kept Oak Bay police busy with reports coming in last week. An unlocked vehicle parked in a driveway of the 2400-block of Hazel St. made for easy pickings. A wallet and camera were reported stolen from that vehicle on July 3. A similar report came from the 2600-block of Currie Rd. where a wallet was stolen from an unlocked vehicle. In the 1100-block of Goodwin St. a vehicle showed no signs of forcible
entry but had two computer bags and a briefcase removed from it, they were later found on a neighbours property.
The next day, July 4, police were called about another unlocked vehicle the 2200-block of Kinross Ave. An HP Pavillion laptop computer val-ued at $1,000, a TomTom GPS, Maui Jim sunglasses, four golf shirts, six notebooks, and a pair of pants were reported stolen.
An MP3 player and loose change were reported stolen from a vehicle in the 3100-block of Westdowne Rd. on July 7. A radar display from a boat parked in a driveway in the 1600 block of Wilmot Pl. was also reported stolen that day.
Bank machine forgetfulness costs Police are investigating a theft of opportunity at a bank on Oak Bay Avenue on July 3. A Victoria resident used a bank machine at 2224 Oak Bay Ave. to make a deposit and forgot her bank card in the machine. She realized her mistake a short while later but by then, someone had used the machine and her card to withdraw $200.

Shortly after word came of the death of B.C. historian and politician Bill Barlee, my wife
searched through her seemingly endless trove of B.C. books and produced half a dozen of his original self-published quarterlies, known as Canada Westmagazine.
The earliest one is Win-ter 1970, where the pub-lisher’s note advises that subscription rates were increasing 20 cents per year to $2.95. Subscrip-tions were up to more than 1,600 and counter sales were increasing, but costs were also up and Barlee refused to accept either display advertising or U.S. subscriptions.
The only colour pages in the issue are high-quality prints of four majestic paintings commissioned for the magazine. Irvine Adams’ scenes of sacred aboriginal sites in the Okanagan-Similkameen include The Gateway to Inkameep, where Barlee remarks: “Today that stream which once teemed with redfish no longer surrenders its once-valued harvest and the perimeter of the desert is gradually being eroded by man’s questionable progress.”
With the typography of Old West wanted posters, Barlee provided tightly sourced accounts of B.C.’s legends.
“Lost gold mine at Pitt Lake” ana-lyzes and adds to earlier accounts that begin with an aboriginal miner
known as Slumach, who would periodically arrive in New Westmin-ster to squander a small fortune
in gold, then disappear up the remote tidal lake. Slumach was hanged for murder in 1891 and in the next 70 years, 11 more men would die trying to find his secret. A scientist as well as a storyteller, Barlee concluded that the area’s geology is wrong and the fabled gold-laden creek “probably does not exist.”
A passion for prospect-ing runs through the magazines, and hints at
Barlee’s aversion to treasure-seek-ing Americans. They overran B.C. in historic waves to take gold, and according to Nelson Star reporter Greg Nesteroff, Barlee believed they continued to loot Canadian heritage sites.
Nesteroff was inspired by Barlee’s work, and traced his lonely mis-sion to restore the ghost town of Sandon, “the mining capital of the Silvery Slocan.”
Barlee bought a surviving block of buildings in an effort to make Sandon another Barkerville, but heavy snow collapsed them. As tourism minister, Barlee found money to build replicas, and con-struction began on three.
But Barlee lost his Penticton seat to Bill Barisoff in the 1996 election, and today only half-built shells remain. “He was still selling San-
don’s restoration as an economic saviour for the region when he ran for federal office in 2000,” Nesteroff writes. “But by then he was ridi-culed for it, and finished a distant second.”
Barlee’s 1972 Canada West profile of the boomtown of Hedley would resonate in his career as an NDP MLA and cabinet minister in the 1990s.
Hedley’s Nickel Plate and Mas-cot mines produced fortunes in gold, silver and copper before they played out, and Barlee led the fight to preserve their history.
Today you can tour the Mascot mine, a proud historical site with a spectacular climb up the rock face that serves as the Grouse Grind of the B.C. desert.
I first discovered Barlee as a reporter at the Kelowna Capital News in the early 1980s, when he did a weekly history show on CHBC television called Gold Trails and Ghost Towns. A bare-bones studio affair with tales and artifacts dis-played for host Mike Roberts, the show lasted a decade.
Barlee didn’t lack courage, quit-ting a teaching career in Trail and Penticton in 1969 to start his maga-zine. On subscription fees and a few classified ads, he built a life’s work that allowed him to walk the boardwalks of history and the halls of power.

Nuggets from Barlee’s gold pan
‘Barlee didn’t lack courage ... to start his magazine.’
Boating tragedy preventableCautionary tales of young people acting
foolishly, and paying the price with injury or death, seem to appear every year in Greater Victoria.
Often this coincides with the first blazing hot weekend of the summer, usually at parks like Thetis Lake, where booze, bravado and rocky cliffs collide. Not so this year.
On Friday evening, two young men set out in a canoe from Telegraph Bay Cove for a weekend camping trip. From Ten Mile Point, Discovery and Chatham islands appear relatively close to shore, certainly easy paddling distance for fit young people.
It all went horribly wrong, very fast. After the canoe capsized, one young man suffered hypothermia but survived. The other remains missing.
We hope for his sake, and for his family and friends, that the young man has washed ashore alive somewhere.
This incident was completely preventable, but these young men seemed oblivious to the numerous dangers they put themselves in.
First, they set off at late twilight in a canoe, an unstable boat not designed for the rigors of the open ocean. Second, it may have been a calm evening, but they paddled into Baynes Channel, an area with strong currents that, according to a current table, would have started getting stronger soon after they hit the water.
It would have been more surprising if the canoe hadn’t tipped. The only upside to this scenario is they weren’t drinking.
Even if the men weren’t aware of the local ocean currents or the seaworthiness of their boat, it is genuinely shocking that they failed to wear life jackets, or even had any in the canoe. They had the forethought to pack a dry-bag of gear for camping, but not the most basic lifesaving element for the water.
We see this all the time in Victoria. People fish in rowboats or dinghies in lakes without personal floatation devices, never imagining a head trauma or some medical incident could render them or a companion unconscious and unable to swim. Add in a few beers and the odds get worse.
PFDs are even more crucial in the ocean off Victoria – the water is cold year-round. The young man who was found on the rocks off Oak Bay Friday night was hypothermic in less than two hours.
Anyone taking to the water this summer needs to take heed. The ocean is cruel and unforgiving to those who don’t respect basic safety rules.

LETTERS
I would like to thank members of our Oak Bay council for the courage and leadership they provided for many months regarding how best to respond to the VIHA (Baptist Housing) redevelopment proposal for the Oak Bay Lodge property.
The right of the Oak Bay community to have a voice regarding the nature of our community, and the services that are available, has been upheld by Nils Jensen, Tara Ney, Cairine Green and Michelle Kirby.
The nature of the supports that are developed for seniors’ care, and how facilities might look are fundamental concerns that merit the input of council and community -- at the design and use stage.
Why would it be any other way? Broader levels of government have an obligation to closely communicate with local governments, and coordinate actions with the needs and realities of those directly supported or impacted.
As philosopher Jürgen Habermas noted (and as exemplified in this instance), government structures can become uncoupled from the lifeworlds of those they are
ultimately meant to serve. The provision that Oak Bay council made for community consultation brought many perspectives, and a great deal of light to a decision that was apparently ‘in the bag.’
I would like to thank the above members of council for their insistence that the broader community has a right to open the bag and be engaged.
If VIHA picks up its ball and goes home, we will have to be patient and see if a different government, and a new VIHA board (and senior administration) might be more amenable to a respectful, substantive, consultative process.
It is with patience, over time, that we will get a development that is optimal for the Oak Bay community.
I am willing to wait until we get it right. The Oak Bay Lodge redevelopment proposal was for replacement residential care beds – contrary to the rhetoric, they weren’t providing new beds. What is truly unfortunate is that seniors in the region will have inadequate facilities until VIHA gets its act together.
Doug MollardOak Bay
When Oak Bay’s mayor and council call a public meeting over a matter of public concern like the proposal to replace Oak Bay Lodge it is a surprise when the meeting takes the form of a group therapy session instead of a reasoned discussion.
The mayor announced that everyone who wanted to speak would have a turn at the microphone. Everyone else was to sit quietly until this was over.
The result of a process like this? No misstatements or confusions are corrected, arguments wildly beside the point are respectfully allowed at torpid length, several members of the same household each take a turn to make the same points repeatedly, powerpoint presentations of inordinate length and dubious relevance are permitted, ill-natured remarks are made unchecked, opinions about issues of no relevance whatsoever are expressed.
Did this assist our elected representatives to make a better informed decision? Or was it a
way for them to avoid their responsibility to lead a discussion of the actual issues? What is the goal of such a process and is it worthwhile?
A debate between proponents and opponents with a question period for interested spectators would have been far more likely to evoke relevant facts and arguments and counter falsehoods. If consultation is to be meaningful it must be more than an opportunity to vent.
The upcoming rewrite of the Official Community Plan will be contentious. Will the Oak Bay mayor and council meet this challenge with nothing but process? Will their expensive consultants insulate them from debate? In the absence of any official effort to winnow, to seek consensus, to engage meaningfully with the content of arguments, will most Oak Bay residents choose to avoid attending public meetings where expressions of anger, falsehoods, and insults are tolerated complacently but reasoned argument is unwelcome?

LettersI loved your story
about not wanting oil tankers using our waters (News July 6).
As a seakayaker and sailor for the past 24 years, even the idea that an oil spill could happen is very frightening.
I have seen many oil tankers coming down Haro Strait, but yesterday, the China
Progress appeared and looked to me to be at least one-and-a-half times the length of all the other tankers I’ve ever seen in our area.
Vote no to supertankers, is great to say, but guess what people, they’re already here.

Sarah Frejd may not be making money yet selling plus-size women’s fashions.
But her Curvalicious Boutique operation is providing the fledgling retailer with much more than that.
A former chef and restaurateur who wowed diners at a popular Campbell River eatery, Frejd now cooks up boosts in self esteem for women who may not consider themselves beacons of
fashion.“I think it’s life-changing,”
Frejd, 35, says of the experience Curvalicious offers clients.
Whether it’s women who have always shopped for larger sizes, or those whose bodies changed, perhaps after having children, she receives them in various states of humility.
“When they come into our store, we work on their insides as much as their outsides. We make them feel like a million dollars.”
The idea of selling plus-size fashion came to Frejd – one of her own best customers – during her sales calls as a food rep for Saanich-based Islands West Produce.
“I have to get dressed up and look pretty and go around to pubs and restaurants all day long,” she says. “People would stop me and ask, ‘where did you get that dress? or where did you
get those boots?’”After researching the market
for one-off, plus-size creations, she found little to choose from on Canada’s West Coast.
She created an online store in 2009 and, combined with hosting shopping-style fashion shows around town and selling at markets around the Capital Region, built a loyal following.
After hearing enough clients tell her, “just get a store, Sarah,” Frejd began searching for a location. She found a modest space and moved in last November.
With Frejd still working her sales job, much of the pampering falls to store manager Cathy Andrews, a former client and fashion model of Frejd’s who brought a healthy body attitude and some smarts about plus-size fashion to the job.
“I love it here,” says Andrews, who is studying to be a nurse. She blogs on such topics as “health at every size” and “fat acceptance” on her page called Big Fat Cherry Bomb on tumblr.com.
“People come in with the idea of wearing clothing to cover up,” she says. “We try to convince them to love the body you have at the size you are.”
Both Andrews and Frejd talk of clients who came in unsure of themselves and left dancing on air. An example was a Grade 12 student from Salmon Arm who came searching for a prom dress.
As the girl tried on various dresses, beaming at each new look at the experience of seeing herself in a different light, her mother and grandmother dissolved into tears, Andrews
recalls.“I still get goosebumps
thinking about it,” she says. The store contains only a
smattering of pieces available to clients, but the idea is to pamper women when they come in and make the shopping experience as personal as possible.
An ever-present tray of cookies sits just inside the entrance, and beverages are occasionally on hand.
“We want to make people feel comfortable, hang out and have a good time,” Andrews says.
Curvalicious is located at 774 Bay St. in the Blanshard Street plaza off Kings Road, behind
Subway. Call 250-590-2799 or visit curvaliciousboutique.com.

What makes a loud noise when you squeeze it and loves a good bellow? No, it’s not the beginning of a bad joke. It’s an accordion.
From July 19 to 22 the Sixth International Victoria Accordion Festival will be taking place around town and hosting some of the top accordion acts in the world.
Friday night is Russian night and will feature a concert by world-famous accordionist Alexander Sevastian, from Minsk, Belarus, at St. Andrew’s Church (680 Court-ney St.). Sevastian has won four international accordion competi-tions and played with the Toronto Symphony Orchestra.
On the Saturday night, Toronto-based Quartetto Gelato will be performing at St. Andrew’s. The group, which features Sevastian on accordion, is a crowd favou-rite. On oboe, violin, cello and,
of course, accordion, along with tenor vocals, the quartet serves up a variety of world and classical music styles.
“They are so famous and so pop-ular, particularly in this city,” festi-val director Aleksandar Milojevic said. “We’re sure people will appre-ciate their concert.”
Another highlight is the Accor-dion Parade, a first-time event for the festival. The parade kicks off from Market Square at 1 p.m. on the Saturday and will see squee-zebox players coming together to play and parade through down-town to Centennial Square and back.
“Just imagine if you have many orchestras together, that’s the sound that you get,” Milojevic said.
All accordion players are invited to take part in the parade, but are asked to arrive at noon to pre-pare.
Most exciting for organizers is that this year’s festival is a precur-sor of sorts to what will prove to be the big event in 2013.
The success of the festival over the past five years was one con-
tributing factor to Victoria being named host of the 66th Coupe Mondiale event in 2013. This will be the first time that the world’s biggest accordion event has been held in Canada and it will run from Aug. 17 to 25. Hundreds of accordi-
onists and even more visitors from all over the world are expected to attend the event, which takes place in a different country every year.
“People are so happy,” Milojevic said. “So that means that we’re doing something good here
in Victoria.”For Milojevic one of the best
parts of the festival is seeing the younger players getting involved and falling in love with the instru-ment, and seeing accordions begin to regain a popularity they haven’t enjoyed since the rise of rock and roll.
“Accordions became a not very cool instrument with all the electric guitars and drums and everything that youngsters could express themselves differ-ently with. But now it’s picking up again,” Milojevic said. “We have kids seven years old or eight years old competing, which is amazing and you don’t see everyday, every-where.”
Tickets for the Sevastian and Quartetto Gelato concerts are $25, $20 for seniors and students. The workshop is $25 per person or $30 at the door. Tickets are available at Tempo Trend Music and Long and McQuade, by phone at 778-433-8700 or by email at [email protected].

One Saanich woman is telling the tale of her parents, forced to live apart for 25 years because of Canada’s immigra-tion laws.
“It needs to be told, it’s not frivo-lous, but I’ve also injected some human stories, that project the human-ity,” said May Wong. “I didn’t intend it to be a book that con-demns, but a book that shows what it was like for people, individuals.”
A Cowherd in Par-adise is the moving tale of her parents – father Wong Guey Dang (1902-1983) and mother Jiang Tew Thloo (1911-2002). It tells the intimate family tale of her
parents’ challenging marriage, years of separation because of Canada’s immigration laws and the ultimate Canadian reunion.
“I’m hearing that it’s a story that resonates with a lot of immigrants and it doesn’t mat-ter if you’re Chi-nese,” May said. “It’s a story that is universal because Canada is made up of so many immi-grants. People are moving around the world now, so it’s a story about adapt-ing and finding a country to become your home and finding a new and better life. I’m hear-
ing that people are starting to identify with it … it’s been really heartening to hear that.”
A Cowherd in Paradise, pub-lished by Brindle and Glass,
is nearly a decade in the mak-ing and launched at Silk Road in April. It’s been making the rounds of readings and media since.
She was invited to read at Word on the Street in Vancouver this September.
“I know that my parents would be proud of me,” May said. [email protected]
Did you know? In 2006, the prime
minister apologized to the Chinese people for the legislated discrimination created by Canada’s head tax laws in the first half of the 20th century, acknowledging the consequences it had on their families.

Perfect weather for ShakespeareGreater Victorians are showing their support
for Shakespeare, says Greater Victoria Shake-speare Festival artistic director Michael Glover.
The festival is already celebrating a successful pre-season launch after nearly three times the number of pre-sale tickets were sold on their first available day as compared to previous years.
“It’s clear to us that Victorians loves their outdoor Shakespeare festival, and it’s thrilling to see its popularity explode even further as we head into our special 10th anniversary season,” said Glover.
Since being formed in early 2003, the Victoria Shakespeare Society has produced works of the-atre, primarily, but not limited to, the works of William Shakespeare and their Shakespeare in the
summer festival.Their artistic objective is to creatively explore
Shakespeare in a way that is interesting and acces-sible to the general public, making Shakespeare for the people. The society is keen to transfer the uni-versality of Shakespeare to modern English speakers. Since 2005, sum-mer shows have been performed in an outdoor location on the Camo-sun College Lansdowne Campus.
This season the festival show-cases Much Ado About Nothing and As You Like It July 16 to Aug. 18. Pre-sale tickets are sold at a discounted rate of $10, or 55 per cent off the regular price of $22 and are on sale until the first 500 are sold. Go to vicshakespeare.com for more information.

Ryder Hesjedal now focusing on Olympics
Travis PatersonNews staff
He’s the reigning Giro d’Italia winner and is London-bound for his third Olympic Games. But even the chance to gorge – guilt free – on all the
French cuisine he can this weekend will do little to lift the spirits of Ryder Hesjedal.
The wiry Victoria cyclist withdrew from the Tour de France prior to Saturday’s Stage 7 after a major crash set him, and some of his Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda teammates, 13 minutes back of the leaders on Friday’s Stage 6.
Hesjedal finished the stage, but subsequently pulled out.
“Its a huge disappointment,” Hesjedal said.
“I was in good form and feeling comfortable, just really settling in to the first week with an eye on the mountains.”
Hesjedal said he’s now focused on the Olym-pics, and has resigned himself to rooting for his Garmin teammates still on the Tour.
At the moment of the crash, which happened 26 kilometres from the end of Friday’s stage, Hesjedal was one of the top contenders in the hunt for the yellow jersey as the overall winner of the Tour. Dozens of riders piled-up in front of him and he sustained a hematoma to his left leg and hip.
The team released a statement about the injury, saying it prevented a normal pedal stroke.
“The injury would only be worsened if he tried to ride (Saturday),” team doctor Prentice Steffen said. “He needs to go home, keep working with the medical staff, and recover.”
“(Garmin) still has a strong group of riders here and they will still do great things,” Hesjedal said.
Garmin’s Tom Danielson, who Hesjedal helped to ninth-overall in the 2011 Tour, was also part of the crash that led to Hesjedal’s demise, and was forced to abandon mid-race.
Hesjedal will represent Canada at the London Olympics in the men’s road race on July 28 and time trial on Aug. 1.

Former New York Rangers assistant GM is new Victoria Royals bossTravis PatersonNews staff
Like the great Lester Patrick before him, Cam-eron Hope comes from a vice president role with the NHL’s New York Rangers to act as general manager of Victoria’s Western Hockey League franchise.
To be fair to Hope, the similarities stop there, as Patrick was, well, Lester Patrick, and his return was at the helm of the minor league 1949 Cougars.
Hope, however, is highly regarded in his own right, and was sought after by Royals’ owner Graham Lee. The 48-year-old has never been a GM before but comes with a decorated resumé.
He was introduced at Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre on Friday morning (July 6).
“(Lee) contacted me, it came from left field and he was persistent,” Hope said. “I liked his vision, we shared the idea of what it takes to build a successful program here. And Lee’s vision is con-tagious.”
Hope’s tenure with the Rangers lasted seven years and ended in 2011, during which he swapped from VP into an assistant GM role with the legendary GM Glen Sather. Hope was practis-ing law, his original career, back in his hometown of Edmonton when Lee came calling.
With his wife’s parents already living in Victoria,
the idea found support at home.The first order of business for
Hope is hiring a head coach. Both the coach and GM positions came available last month when Marc Habscheid, who handled both roles, moved from hockey to busi-ness executive with the Royals’ par-ent company, GSL Holdings Ltd.
“The process is underway,” Hope said. “Most of the names are in, but I haven’t (shortlisted) them as some may come in yet.”
The new coach is expected in a matter of weeks.
“Once we finalize the list, it’ll be a fast process.”
Plenty of success-ful, experienced gen-eral managers from the WHL were avail-able and in the running when Lee picked Hope, taking a chance on a rookie GM.
“For a new GM, it’s a positive thing having that NHL experience,” said Lee, who’s been highly vis-ible around the rink since swapping the ECHL for his original love, the WHL.
“You always take a risk with whoever you hire, and Hope fits in well with the pieces we have.”
Hope’s name first came up when Graham was dining with some NHL suits. “I told them I was looking for a new GM and they were very impressed with Hope,” Lee said.
None of those at the dinner were named Sather, however, who was part of the Chilliwack Bruins ownership group that sold the team to Lee 16
months ago. Hope said he was not connected to the Royals in its previous incarnation, though he knew of the team, and had scouted the league as a member of the Rangers’ staff.
As a youngster growing up in Edmonton, Hope was a Western League fan, catching the Oil Kings at the old Edmonton Garden. He got a law degree from the University of Alberta in 1988, and later found his way into the Canadian Football League Players’ Association, representing its players in grievance matters, before moving on to the Big Apple in 2004.
“For me, the key to long term success is to fill the system with quality players ... you need a sustainable form of hockey (development),” Hope said.

Vikes rookie shines on
UVic Vikes run-ners Rachel Francois (St. Albert, Alta.) and Thomas Riva (Quali-cum) competed in the 800-metre for Canada at the under-23 North American, Central American and Carib-bean track champion-ships in Guanajuato, Mexico, over the weekend (July 6 to 8).
Francois, a first-year Vike, won bronze with a time of two minutes, 6.77 seconds. Riva was fifth among the men with a time of 1:52.84.
Triathlete swims Subaru triple
Victoria’s Brent McMahon swam the swim portion of the Subaru Vancouver Tri-athlon three different times at Jericho Beach on Sunday.
The London-bound triathlete was on three different relay teams, for the sprint, Olym-pic and Half Iron dis-tances, and was first out of the water each time. He and Olympian Paula Findlay used the triathlon as an Olym-pic tune-up. Findlay, a five-time world champ, was the top woman in the sprint distance.
Vic golfers lead boys’ qualifying
Uplands Golf Course member Jack Lilly tied for the lead in Sunday’s qualifying round for the Junior Boys’ Championship at the Sunshine Coast Golf and Country Club in Roberts Creek.
The tournament began on Tuesday.
Lilly tied Stuart Mac-donald of Vancouver and with a one-under-par, 71. Seventeen other players claimed the remaining spots in the field by shooting 81 or better during the qualifier, including Sean Hay, Michael Griffin and Jake Ham-ilton.
Ko shoots 11th at B.C. golf title
Naomi Ko was the top Victoria golfer at the B.C. Women’s Amateur Title in Chris-tina Lake, 11th overall.
“Once we finalize the list, (hiring a coach) will be a fast process.”

Shamrocks the final seed in junior lacrosse playoffsTravis PatersonNews staff
Coach Larry Smeltzer wants to believe his team will come together in the playoffs.
The Victoria Shamrocks are the sixth and final seed to qualify for the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League postseason, drawing the third-place New Westminster Salmonbellies.
“(Hockey’s) Los Angeles Kings were the final seed and they (won the Stanley Cup),” Smeltzer said.
“Are we the Los Angeles of our league? We just need to come together at the right time.”
The stage is certainly set, as the Shamrocks will open the first-round series on the road against the Salmonbellies, likely Saturday night.
New West won all three meetings this year, 9-7 at Bear Mountain Arena, and 12-4 and 10-9 at Queen’s Arena.
“It’s funny, we didn’t beat (New West) but we still hoped we would get them (in the playoffs),” Smeltzer said. “We feel they felt they were lucky to beat us. And the games are more predictable from our perspective.”
There is a lingering expectation that the core of this Shamrocks team, which won the 2010 pro-vincial intermediate-A championship, will one day make a similar run at the junior A level.
But time is running out, as the core of the squad is 20 years old, and next year will be its last.
The team is talented offensively, second over-all in goals scored with 209. There’s also been a series of tweaks to Smeltzer’s old-is-new-again system. To start the season, all players were responsible for offence and defence, as Smeltzer moved away from the current trend of the day, which is to lean heavily on specialized players. Instead, he emphasized fast breaks and taking advantage of the other team’s line changes.
The fast break has continued, but the Rocks now use a hybrid system of sorts.
“Sometimes we change it up period to period, and sometimes parts of (the new) system are quite hidden,” Smeltzer said. “But we’re tied for the most short handed goals (21), goalie (Cody Hagedorn) has 20 assists, and we’ve scored lots of goals on the breakout, so it’s there.”
The Shamrocks ended the regular season with a 14-11 road loss to the first-place Coquitlam Adan-acs on Sunday.
Coquitlam put the Shamrocks under the gun from the start with a 7-1 lead in the first period. It looked like the Shamrocks had already lost when Brody Eastwood scored a hat trick and the Rocks stormed back to outscore the Adanacs 7-3 in the second period. The Adanacs’ lead slipped to 10-9 in the third period before they scored four more.
“It’s not uncommon for us, and we’re beyond panicking because of it, though sometimes we get in trouble,” Smeltzer said.
It’s not ideal, but isn’t from a lack of preparation, the coach added.
It also happened in the Rocks last game in New West. After two periods, New West led 9-4. The Rocks scored five goals in the third period and
New West scored once to win the game.“As the season went on we’ve pulled it together,
and if we play our game plan we’ll be fine,” Smeltzer said.
Adam Brown, Brody Eastwood and Devon Casey finish the season as the sixth, seventh and ninth overall scorers in the league, respectively.
Transition player Jesse King will miss the first round of the playoffs with Team Canada at the under-19 world field lacrosse championships in Finland, July 12 to 21.

Give them power. Give them confidence.Give them control.
GIVE THEM A PAPER ROUTE!
SOOKE NEWSMIRROR
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 confi dence, 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.
