Meanwhile, Sidney plans to issue RFP for a new market

Devon MacKenzieNews staff

The Sidney Business Associa-tion is looking into new venues to host the Sidney summer mar-ket, but isn’t willing yet to dis-cuss where that may be.

“Of course we wish to stay where we are. We would lose ground by moving, but you don’t want to leave all your eggs in one basket if that basket is crumbling,” said SBA president Ross Macfarlane. “We’ve made a couple of inquiries, but we aren’t ready to discuss the loca-tions of them yet.”

In April, town council termi-nated the SBA’s contract to run the market, but when the SBA’s lawyer presented potential legal costs to the town, that decision was reversed. On July 4, the town gave the legally required six months’ notice to the SBA of the cancellation of their con-tract.

“At the end of the day we hope there will be some level of comprehension reached [by the Town of Sidney], but until then we want to consider our options,” said Macfarlane.

Meanwhile, the Town of Sid-ney plans to issue a request for proposals from organizations to run a market in the [email protected]

ROAD TO LONDONA celebrat ion of ou r Olympic a th letes

CHAMPIONCanada’s wildcard

Simon Whitfield gunning for his third and final Olympic medal

Travis PatersonNews staff

You can count on Simon.Leading the Canadian

team into London’s Olympic Stadium as our flag-bearer for

the Opening Ceremony today, July 27, is no burden for the 37-year-old, who is competing in his fourth and last Olympics.

While the gold and silver medal winner is less likely to make the podium, he’s a medal hopeful nonetheless.

“Mentally, I’m in a great place, but it’s going to be a big task to take down the young guys,” Whitfield said. “I’ll go down swinging.”

The sport the Victoria resident defined with a gold medal in Sydney in 2000 has spawned a new generation. Many of the competitors Whitfield will face in London were teenagers back then, including home-course favourites, brothers Alistair and Jonathon Brownlee.

And that’s fine with Whitfield. “There’s definitely a trend to older

athletes and longer careers due to sport science and better physiological understanding,” he said. “It’s evolved.”

There’s a team factor too. Although the sport is made up of

individual entrants, Whitfield won a silver medal after he was famously led

out by Hamilton’s Colin Jenkins at Beijing in 2008. Jenkins paced Whitfield in the swim and for a portion of the bike, with a plan of conserving Whitfield’s energy. Consensus is it worked, as Whitfield surged from behind to take first in the final kilometre, only to fade in the final 200 metres.

Jenkins finished 50th.This time Whitfield is joined by Brent

McMahon, a North Vancouver transplant to Victoria, and Oakville, Ont. native Kyle Jones.

But as obvious as it might seem, Triathlon Canada’s executive director Alan Trivett said tactics are a last-minute decision.

“There’s not going to be a team strategy to employ this time. If they’re in a chase pack on the bike, they’ll work together or protect each other on the course.”

However, McMahon, a veteran of the 2004 Olympics, told Black Press earlier this year that decisions on Olympic racing strategies are made close to the time of the race, depending on who is in the best form.

Triathlon is an unpredictable sport, where years of disciplined training can go out the window by a kick in the face during the swim, a trip during the transition out of the wetsuit or a well-executed team strategy.

“It’s often about what happens on the day,” McMahon said. “That’s what triathlons are.”

And no one is better at preparing himself for the day than Whitfield.

Jim Parker PublisherErin Cardone EditorJanice Marshall Production ManagerBruce Hogarth Circulation Manager

I may have been watching too much television lately. HBO to be more specific.

The recent drab days of summer found me lazing on the couch in front of the TV, remote in one hand, bag of Cheezies in the other, stretchy yoga pants on, cup of tea by my side, fluffy pillow under one elbow, hair firmly planted in a sloppy bun atop my head. I was ready to take on the PVR (personal video recorder).

For those of you without one of these revolutionary devices, may I say you are living in the dark ages, deprived of the ability to watch TV and movies at your leisure.

With a PVR there is no more missing a word of what “Erica” said to “Adam,” or missing the end of the Movie of the Week because you fell asleep in your chair before 11.

A world of mind-boggling “entertainment” awaits your command. Whenever you desire, your program of choice can be found, played, rewound and viewed again. It’s a bit too much, actually.

Round and round the dial you go (although in the new reality of TV viewing, there is no dial with which to go around) until you find the amusement of your choice. Mine was the demon HBO.

From funny to gory, that channel has it all, in starkly realistic terms. Well, maybe not quite so realistic. After a few episodes of Game of Thrones, I still couldn’t see what all the fuss was about. Or, more accurately, who the fuss was about

– there were kings and kids and kids of kings, knights and knaves and knaves with knives. But after a half-dozen episodes I was still trying

to figure out who the real king was and why I should care.

So off I flicked to find Veep. Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Emmy award winner for Seinfeld and The New Adventures of Old Christine, should be funny, I thought. And it was.

Veep follows Louis-Dreyfus as the vice-president of the United States, a hurried, harried, harassed character

who buzzes through her days in sleek suits and Prada pumps. Her aides, communications people and assistants pop in and out, throwing verbal zingers and helping her put out political fires – most of which she starts herself.

Around the dial again and we come to Girls, the HBO version of the early days of Friends – but with a lot more sex. A lot more. A lot. Really.

If young 20-somethings are engaging in as much sex as this group of four friends, I don’t know how they manage to keep a job, let alone find time to grocery shop or pay the electric bill.

And again with the verbal sparring. One witty remark is returned with another and almost every other word is blue. Navy blue if you know what I mean: vulgar, naughty, dirty, filthy, coarse, X-rated, off-colour, profane … you name it, they say it.

On Veep too.If you’re looking for funny Elaine

from Seinfeld – you’re in for a shock. In the new no-holds barred arena

of subscription programming, there is plenty of nudity, sleazy talk and good old fashioned cursing.

Television has come a long way since Desi and Lucy slept in twin beds.

But it’s not the nature of the shows that stuck with me. It was the attitude they conveyed. These programs that are exclusive to the cable channels have the liberty to show life in a more realistic manner.

But how realistic is it?Sure we swear occasionally, we

use the bathroom, we take off our clothes and if we are lucky, we have sex too. But do we talk about it in the office afterward?

Do we share all the dirty details of our personal lives with our friends or co-workers?

I don’t remember ever doing that, let alone the last time I had a screaming match at work or ran down the hallway with my shoes in my hand to get to a meeting I was late for.

Watching the adrenaline rush of vice-president Selina Meyer’s office in Veep is addictive. Lines such as “I don’t have time to ignore you,” “Hey, hey it’s the flunkies,” and “OK kittens, time to get drowned,” leave my office feeling dull, flat and boring.

Just once I’d like to hear some snappy rejoinders or be witness to a nasty dust-up between co-workers. Just as long as they make up before the next episode. Or maybe I’ll just start watching The Newsroom.

‘A world of mind-boggling ‘entertainment’ awaits your command.’

CS: learn from Sidney debacle

Say the word “zoning” and watch how many people start to snore.

It’s true – zoning sounds like a bore. But it can have serious impacts for property owners.

Take the lesson learned in Sidney recently. Residents read advertisements and an article in this paper saying the town was about to change its zoning bylaw. Open houses were held and feedback was encouraged, but residents showed little interest.

When all was said and done and the zoning changed, folks finally woke up and realized what they should have paid attention to all along: their homes were affected by this perceived snooze-enducing document. There were protests and lawyers got involved, bringing that council to review the decisions it had already made.

Property owners in Central Saanich, take note. Your municipality is conducting a densification study and feedback thus far has been meagre. One open house had just 35 residents attend. That’s not enough to build a document that could so seriously affect people’s homes, council says, and we agree.

Luckily, Central Saanich is postponing any further movement on the issue of densification until adequate feedback is received.

Now is the time to get involved, not after any zoning bylaws that may come of the densification study are approved. Take notice of what your elected council is considering for the community where you live. Speak with councillors and ask questions of staff. It’s better to know beforehand than to be caught dumbfounded in the aftermath.

Thoughts are with OlympiansAs the Olympic torch is lit in London today

and athletes begin competing on a global stage, our thoughts and hopes are with those who we’ve found training on our lakes, roadways and nearby gymnasiums.

We wish Island Olympians and all the Canadians the best of luck as they pursue their dreams and represent their country with pride.

I feel compelled to jump into the current “bunny” debate.

I’ve lived on Resthaven Drive for over 20 years and this year, for the first time, I saw a cute little bunny on my front lawn.

It was tame and obviously had evolved from being someone’s pet. I also own a warehouse in West Sidney and can say that rabbits are already a problem there.

It’s just a matter of time before all the urban gardeners on the other side of the highway are trying to cope with these cute little rodents destroying our attempts to grow more of our own food at home.

While I do believe in cultivating more produce locally, I really feel that council should take a hop back on this issue and focus more on encouraging gardening and supporting our local farmers.

Rabbits are too cute for our own good and unfortunately many would escape the kitchen pot because novice and well meaning folks would not have the heart to slaughter them when the time came.

Many will end up exactly where we don’t want them and in fact it’s already happen-

ing. Anyone who thinks otherwise should take a walk in West Sidney in the evening to see UVic revisited.

Let’s look at other ways to keep our diet local and not give farmers one more head-ache on top of the destruction they already face by Canada geese, deer and urban sprawl.

Community garden plots would be an excellent start and many other initiatives that I’ve seen in places like Portland, Ore.

I voted for the current mayor and coun-cil of Sidney but I’m starting to have my doubts about whether they really are lis-tening to the residents of this town.

G. MacKaySidney

■ ■ ■So much talk about little rabbits. I am

not a proponent of allowing rabbits in Sid-ney.

In fact, the complex I live in currently has one wild (likely previously owned) lonely rabbit that has been here for a cou-ple of years.

Although, to my knowledge it has not

caused any grief, I am very aware of the damage they can do apart from the multi-plying that can take place in a short period of time if the bunny found a partner.

When I was growing up on a working farm, rabbits were seen as a hazard to the outbuildings. They tunnel under and could make structures unstable. So, to keep the buildings sound we would cull them regu-larly.

Anyone living on the west side of Sidney near Henry Avenue can see evidence of their ability to multiply. The rabbits have burrowed holes and live in the side (above the ditch) of the Pat Bay Highway.

I called the Ministry of Transportation and the woman laughed at my suggestion that they should look into this.

I know people have good intentions when they buy a rabbit as a pet. Often they don’t look into the costs (prior to pur-chase) necessary to assure it is sterilized.

Finally, unlike most dogs and cats, rab-bits don’t come when you call them after they have gotten loose.

So the moral of this story is: It is too

late to close the door once the rabbit has bolted.

■ ■ ■Re: Only takes a few careless rabbit own-

ers to spawn infestation (Letters, July 20)Does Chris Brown live in Sidney or

Quadra-McKenzie? And how does Mr. Brown know those are abandoned pets and not wild rabbits?

Also, as a lifelong 30-year West Sidney resident and a frequenter of Reay Creek park, I have never seen a rabbit anywhere in Sidney.

I stand by my valid point in my previous letter to the editor that a simple solution is a mandatory spay/neuter requirement for pet rabbit ownership.

If Chris Brown suspects some nefarious pet owner is trying to skirt the law in some kind of black market rabbit breeding ring, he can phone bylaw enforcement to come check their rabbit licence.

Woodwynn should follow rules like everyone else

Tent Village must go. Central Saanich council is being jerked around here. This camp is a fla-grant and blatant disregard for the law and shows disrespect for neighbours. If allowed to continue to the obvious conclu-sion the organizers want, it may have brought an appeasement by council to avoid looking bad on how they treat this situation.

I for one have never been enamoured by the project and this camp-out attempt to manoeu-ver council has done nothing to encourage my support for the Woodwynn homeless project, probably the reverse.

I hope Central Saanich resi-

dents will rally together to see that the charity follows the rules and that ultimately both can work together in mutual respect.

Lochside Trail becoming overrun with truck traffic

As a frequent user of Lochside Trail, I find the section off of Mar-tindale Road has become increas-ingly more dangerous.

The trail has become a truck-ing route to a composting facility being built on agricultural land. Commercial composting should not be allowed on agricultural, recreational or in residential neighbourhoods. There are com-mercial industrial areas for this

purpose. Bylaws should not be changed to suit one individual’s needs. The community at large should be considered.

Adding 30 MPs ineffective, agrees May

I could not agree more with Harry Atkinson of Sidney, “Adding 30 costly MPs inefficient, exces-sive” (Letters, July 13)

As your Member of Parlia-ment, I want you to know that I opposed adding 30 new MPs. The Green Party president testified to the parliamentary committee offering a different approach to redistribute seats to better reflect the shifts in population.

As well, I spoke in the House and twice suggested that, if the Conservatives insisted on adding 30 new MPs, the least we should do would be to accept a pay cut of $20,000 per year each. By doing so, at least the salary and office costs of the new MPs would be offset.

The reaction was fascinating. While some Conservative MPs across the aisle applauded my proposal, the Conservative speak-ing at the time replied that they would “let the Board of Internal Economy know that the member for Saanich-Gulf Islands does not need her salary.”

The second time I proposed it, the response (from a different Conservative MP) was that this was “the price of democracy.” I

think Mr. Atkinson’s letter makes short work of that rationalization.

Sidney residents packed council chambers Tues-day night to hear whether council would agree to amend the town’s recently changed zoning bylaw.

Sidney Mayor Larry Cross stated council has learned “a great deal” from their failure to clearly notify the public about the bylaw changes.

He said that in the future, residents would be notified with a letter.

Council’s decision to amend the zoning bylaw will have properties currently considered non-con-forming back to legal conforming status, he said.

“We’re in the process of changing [the bylaw],” Cross said Wednesday, adding council hopes to have the amendment approved soon after the mid-August public hearing.

Council went through the agenda in seven min-utes, approving staff recommendations to review the bylaw under the official community plan to allow single family homes on multi-family lots.

The room filled with applause as residents trick-led out of the chamber.

Many residents gathered outside after the meet-ing, discussing among themselves their relief that council had chosen to review the bylaw.

“It’s definitely positive, it’s going in the right direction,” said Lois Allen, who lives on Seventh Street.

“We’re looking forward to the next stage,” added Lawrence Bold-de-Haughton, also a resident on Seventh.

While Bold-de-Haughton said he doesn’t dis-agree with the changes that were made to the bylaw, he’s irritated by the fact residents weren’t made aware of possible consequences.

“I think that’s a major issue and where they were seriously wrong,” he said.

A public hearing will be held on Monday, Aug. 13 at 7 p.m.

Anne and Terry Light remem-ber well the excited phone call they received from rowing coaches at Stelly’s secondary following open tryouts for the school’s rowing team. Their son Kevin, a Grade 12 student at the time, had never been on a row-ing machine until that day, when he sat down and beat all existing team members during his first attempt.

“They called us from the car, beyond excited,” said Terry. “They latched on to this ath-lete.”

As Kevin, now a gold medal-list for Canada in men’s eight rowing, built his rowing career at Stelly’s and later the Univer-

sity of Victoria, the Lights were drawn into a close-knit network of rowing families.

After world championship wins in 2002 and 2003, Anne and Terry travelled with other fam-ily members of the men’s eight team to watch what they were confident would be a gold medal heat in Athens.

The team finished fifth.“As newbie Olympic parents,

going on past record, we were thinking, ‘Of course they’ll just get in the boat and win like they always win and wouldn’t that be terrific?’” Anne said. “All of a sudden they’re not winning and all of a sudden they’re falling behind and what’s going on?

“You bury your head in your hands and think this can’t be happening, but it was in fact

happening.”The pressure created by

media coverage and hype sur-rounding the Olympics was too much for the athletes and those close to them. The days that fol-lowed were dark.

“I don’t mean to sound melo-dramatic, but it was like a death,” Anne said. “Other than the ath-letes and the families of athletes, [people] didn’t understand the extreme low of that.”

Balancing the intense lows are the extreme highs that come with winning on the world stage.

In 2008, Kevin was on the team that came out ahead of the pack in Beijing and won gold in the men’s eight.

Woodwynn camp could come downDevon MacKenzieNews staff

The temporary homeless camp at Woodwynn Farms may be on its last legs after Central Saanich council announced Monday night that it would take action against Richard Leblanc’s latest proj-ect.

“We now have documented complaints and we will take action on the bylaw,” said Coun. Cathie Ounsted, who was acting mayor during that por-tion of the council meeting. Mayor Alastair Bryson, who lives on a property adjacent to Woodwynn, excused himself from the council chambers citing a conflict of interest.

Previously the municipality said there had been no complaints from residents about the farm set-ting up the camp and therefore the bylaw wasn’t rigidly enforced. Since then, several letters came in to the district with complaints.

Leblanc, the farm’s executive director, said Woodwynn had yet to receive any complaints directed to them.

“We haven’t heard from anyone complaining about noise or anything,” he said. “And you’d think if there were any major concerns about safety or fire that they’d be moving more quickly. But at this point we haven’t heard anything from [the municipality] so we’re just waiting to see what happens and we’ll take our next steps from there.”

Leblanc and members of the Creating Home-fulness Society, which runs the farm, set up the camp that was designed to take in almost 100 homeless people at Woodwynn in the first week of July. The handful of tents being set up was a response to the farm being denied approval from the Agricultural Land Commission to run pro-grams and house homeless on Agricultural Land Reserve land.

A woman was charged with animal cruelty when a heavily flea-infested and sickly cat rescued from a Victoria residence died in March.

A veterinarian who arrived at the home after being called by a family member was told the three-year-old Persian hadn’t eaten in four days and was lying in its box howling in pain, according to the vet’s report. The cat, which was lethargic and unresponsive, died of cardiac arrest a short time after the intervention, having lost blood and suffered other complications due to the flea infesta-tion, said B.C. SPCA special constable Erika Paul.

She admitted the case may not have been uncov-ered had the veterinarian not been called to check on the cat.

“Most of our investigations are complaint driven,” Paul said.

While fleas are common around Greater Victo-ria, serious infestations can be easy to spot, she said, by the animal constantly scratching, as well as humans sustaining flea bites. Infestations lead-ing to death are more common in younger animals whose immune systems are not as developed.

Maureen Silva, charged Tuesday after an inves-tigation, makes her first court appearance Aug. 29 for animal cruelty under the Criminal Code and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.

If found guilty, she faces a fine of up to $10,000, a maximum of 18 months jail time and a prohibition on owning animals.

Over the past few years, the federal government has

substantially improved tax and benefit options available to Canada’s growing retiree population. This is of particular interest to

the disproportionately high number of seniors residing in our region.

So many changes have occurred over such a short time that

many current and soon-to-be retirees are not informed, or haven’t taken advantage of their entitlements. In an

effort to increase the awareness of our seniors, this column highlights key changes: For tax purposes, the ability to notionally

split defined benefit pension income with a partner -– even if the pension is received prior to age 65. Also for tax purposes, the ability to notionally split RRIF pension payments after age 65.

The first $2,000 of

an individual’s annual RRIF or Registered Pension Plan payments receives a tax credit which essentially renders the payment tax-free. If one’s annual income is below $33,000, individuals age 65 or older may, in addition to the basic personal exemption amount, claim an extra age-related exemption of $6,537. This deduction progressively reduces down to zero once annual income reaches about $77,000.

From age 60, individuals may choose to begin drawing their CPP. The income test for receiving early CPP benefits was eliminated.

If continuing to work while receiving CPP, the senior must also continue contributing to CPP. However, if still working between ages 65 and 70, the senior may elect to not contribute. After age 70, further contributions are not permitted.

Starting in 2012, the current 0.5 per cent monthly penalty for receiving CPP prior to age 65 will gradually increase over the next five years to 0.6 per cent per month. On the other hand, the premium for delaying receipt of CPP payments past 65 will over five years increase from 0.5 per cent for each month of delay, to 0.6. Those turning 65 after July 13, 2013 will have the option of delaying receipt of their OAS for up to five years. For every month they defer, their future OAS payments will increase by 0.6 per cent.

To commence receiving CPP or OAS, individuals must apply. Over the next several years however, the government plans to eliminate the application requirement for OAS. This long-overdue change will result in a substantial cost to the treasury – previously, tens of thousands of Canadian seniors failed to receive this benefit simply because they did not apply.

Two drivers banned after drinkingCentral Saanich police nabbed two drinking

drivers within an hour during a routine roadblock at the corner of Stelly’s X and East Saanich roads last weekend.

Just before 11 p.m. on July 21, a 22-year-old Central Saanich man admitted to consuming alcohol before driving. He was given a roadside screening test and blew a low reading, but as he still had his new driver status, he was driving contrary to his restrictions. The man was given a 12 hour roadside prohibition and a ticket for driving contrary to his licence.

Just an hour later, at the same roadblock, officers noted the smell of alcohol on a 30-year-old Central Saanich woman. She claimed to not have been drinking, but a roadside screening test indicated a fail twice and she was issued a 30 day vehicle impound and a 90 day driving ban.

Police cruiser looks for new homeThe Central Saanich Police Service is looking

for a new home for its vintage cruiser.Until recently, the cruiser, a staple in local

parades and car shows, was stored in a Central Saanich resident’s garage. The garage was no longer available and the car is now sitting at the district’s public works yard.

“With it being out in the elements, we’re con-cerned about paint fade and general deteriora-tion, so we’re looking for anyone who can help us out,” said Cpl. Pat Bryant.

Bryant asked that any Central Saanich resi-dents with extra space to donate for storage of the car contact him at 250-652-4441.

POLICE NEWSIN BRIEF

When I first heard the term domestic violence or violence in relationships as it is now referred to, I had no idea how common it is. On my first shift as a police officer I attended two serious domestic violence assaults and realized very quickly that it is an unfortunate reality for many people. It occurs within every socio-economic demographic and a victim is often assaulted several times prior to calling for help.

The emotionally charged and highly unpredictable nature of these calls makes them extremely dangerous for victims and for police. In one case I investigated, a man had thrown his girlfriend around so violently that her body broke a wooden table in half. The victim was unconscious and badly injured when we arrived and was subsequently rushed to hospital by ambulance. When she regained consciousness she fled from the hospital on foot as she was so afraid of what her boyfriend would do to her if he found her.

Domestic violence cycles through predictable phases and has a tendency to get worse over time. Sometimes it can be deadly. Between 2003 and 2008, 73 of the 605 homicides in B.C. were attributed to domestic violence.

Based on recommendations and to promote victim safety, the B.C. Ministry for Public Safety and Solicitor General mandated certain policies, procedures and referral protocols for incidents of violence in relationships. This included standardized domestic violence training for all police in B.C.

Nowadays, police officers conduct systematic and comprehensive risk assessments in every domestic violence case they attend. Police examine factors such as relationship history, severity of the crime, victim’s perception of their safety, cultural and marginalization factors, offender’s propensity for future violence, court orders, alcohol or drug use, history of mental

illness and access to weapons. In many domestic violence cases, the victim

is reluctant to co-operate. As a result, police examine all corroborative evidence to support charges in the absence of a victim’s testimony (similar to a homicide investigation). In B.C., police do not have the discretion to resolve these matters informally. When evidence exists that a crime related to domestic violence has been committed, the police have no choice but to enter into an investigation. This involves arresting the primary aggressor and recommending he or she be charged criminally. A safety plan is established for the victim and the Ministry of Children and Families may become

involved if children were present. Upon his or her release from custody, an offender is given a court date and placed on stringent conditions such as no contact with the victim or a no-go to the victim’s residence. Once these conditions are in place, the police have no authority to remove or modify them. Ultimately, Crown counsel determines whether the charge approval has been met and whether prosecution is required in the public interest.

Overall, these investigations are lengthy and complex and it’s important for victims of these crimes to know that there is help out there. We work closely with police-based and community-based victim service providers to ensure victim safety and prevent further harm.

In the stands once more with the Olympic families, decked out in red and white, Anne attempted to watch, at times turning away. Terry doesn’t recognize himself in a video from the event.

“My neighbour back home doesn’t get it, my best friend doesn’t get it, but that other parent who’s right beside you – they get it,” Anne said.

“I couldn’t take my eyes off of my son and his crew mates. I’m getting all choked up just thinking about it. … You see the Canadian flag going up and you think, there’s your—”

Anne paused, overcome with emotion.

“Terry, you carry on,” she con-tinued with a nervous laugh.

“I’m not sure I can do any bet-ter,” he said over the audible lump in his throat. “It’s emo-tion that you can’t describe and maybe it’s even embarrassing, because you’re just watching,

but there’s that pride in the accomplishment.”

The Sidney couple – Terry, a semi-retired pharmacist and Anne, a former special education teacher at Claremont secondary – have another Olympian in their life. Their daughter Heather is a swimmer who has won several medals at the Special Olympics

B.C. The Lights are humble about what their children have achieved.

“I’m more proud of Kevin as a per-son than I am of his athletic accomplish-ments,” Terry said. “An Olympic gold is just a part of your life and there are many things to be

proud of your child for.”Last May 27 was a proud day

for all of Victoria as 31-year-old Ryder Hesjedal beat the com-petition by just 16 seconds and became the first Canadian in his-tory to win the Giro d’Italia. Leon-ard Hesjedal, Ryder’s father, the man who drove the cyclist to his first downhill mountain biking competition in Shawnigan Lake at just 14 years old, surprised

Ryder at the finish line.Though the couple won’t

be roadside physically, their thoughts will be in London and the event will be celebrated upon Ryder’s return home.

“I always thanked his coaches and they always said it was the parents who were the most important,” Leonard said. “The parents need to give them the support. The parents need to be there to pat them on the back and watch them do what they’re doing.”

The Lights will also follow the 2012 Olympics from the Island as Kevin, now 33, makes the trip to London as a spare on the men’s eight.

Despite their vantage point, the family’s intense connection to the Olympics remains. It’s one that could go quietly unnoticed by those outside their immedi-ate circle.

“We don’t ever open up the conversation with ‘This is our son, the gold medallist,’” Anne said. “We’re not the kinds that will boast about it because everyone has sons and daugh-ters who they’re proud of in dif-ferent ways.”
