Royal Bay plan decision likely to come soon Multi-neighbourhood development in Colwood the centrepiece of revamped plan Don Descoteau News staff

Taken too soon Zack Downey cuts a dashing figure in his Victoria Mariners jersey in this 2013 photo. The young Langford resident died of cancer in May and will be remembered at a memorial on Thursday at The Q Centre from 1 to 4 p.m. See story Page A3.
Residents around the proposed Royal Bay project in Colwood worry that “unneighbourly” site preparation may be an indication of the developer’s commitment to future work on the project. Changes to the City of Colwood’s 1996 Royal Bay area plan – which would amend the city’s official community plan – passed third reading last week following a short public hearing. The final vote on the changes could come as early as the June 23 council meeting. Councillors heard a variety of complaints before voting 5-1 to move the proposal forward. Among them, residents said ground-shaking work on the former gravel pit had caused cracks in foundations and retaining walls, crews had ignored noise bylaws and clouds of dust had drifted unabated through neighbourhoods. In fact, residents lodged two more complaints with the city last weekend related to equipment noise and dust. Mayor Carol Hamilton, who didn’t answer questions at the public hearing, as third reading calls for no council discussion, said later she understands what residents are going through. “I think they’re feeling a little left out of the loop,” she said. “For the
long-term residents, they’ve been putting up with issues around that area for a long time, not necessarily what this development is creating, but the years of the gravel pits and the trucks and the dirt and the noise.” After the gravel pit was closed by Lehigh in 2007, there was a break from activity on the site for more than five years. With massive amounts of earth moving done in the past year and the new Royal Bay secondary under construction on the property, the site has been as busy as the gravel pit days. Paul Fenske, a principal with design and urban planning firm Ekistics, is working with the city on behalf of developer B.C. Investment Management Corporation. He told the Gazette in an interview that bcIMC chose to go full speed ahead on the necessary site upgrades to avoid subjecting nearby residents to a much longer dusty, noisy process. “The site was left in an unfinished and unstable state,” he said, attempting to explain the condition of the property bought by bcIMC in 2012. The company spent an estimated $25 million on earth-moving, regrading, managing erosion and stormwater runoff in 2013, Fenske said, with the idea of completing much of that work sooner than later.

A courageous young man is remembered Zack Downey celebration of life set for Thursday Don Descoteau News staff
In the difficult few weeks since the passing of their son, Zack, at the tender age of 18, Tania and Wayne Downey have been floored by the outpouring of support from people around their various communities. “I didn’t really realize the impact Zack and our journey had on people until he passed away,” Tania said. “We’re just blown away, to be quite honest.” Langford resident Zack died May 25 after a long battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system. A celebration of life will be held tomorrow (June 19) at The Q Centre from 1 to 4 p.m. The site was an easy choice, not only for the expectation of 1,000 or more mourners, but because West Shore Parks and Recreation was the hub of Zack’s sports life growing up, Tania said. “He played basketball and lacrosse there, rode his bike on the BMX track, played on the soccer field, played ice hockey in the rink.”
Aboriginal Day at Royal Roads
Royal Roads University is putting on a celebration. The Sneq’wa e’lun (Blue Heron House), located on the shores of Esquimalt Lagoon, plays host to a National Aboriginal Day event that includes an art show, a guided medicinal plant walk and canoe trips. Members of the Royal Roads University’s Elder Circle representing the Xwsepsum (Esquimalt), Lkwungen (Songhees), Sciá’new (Beecher Bay), T’Sou-ke (Sooke) and Tsawaout First Nations, as well as the Métis Nation, will attend the free event this Friday (June 20). The spotlight will be on the
treatment – it lasted 16 months – set him back somewhat, Tania said, but his determination really kept him going. His simple goal, after being told in March that his cancer was incurable, was to make it to his high school graduation ceremony. He missed it by about a week. “Right up to the last, he was optimistic that he’d get there,” his mom said. While Zack was weakened from treatments, she said, “all he wanted was to go to school, be with his friends and sit in a class, those simple things that people take for granted.

He’s a pretty amazing kid and will be missed greatly.” While their grief is still very much at the surface, she said, the Downeys hope that at some point they’re able to help other families going through similar situations. “Our community was there for us and we’re so grateful for that.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Centre keeps older adults active Dementia diagnosis need not be paralyzing
Buddy DeVito, left, and wife Gisele, along with Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation’s Lori McLeod, are set for the first Buddy DeVito 9 Holes, Dinner and Dance at Olympic View Golf Club. The July 11 event is a fundraiser for the Westshore Adult Daycare program.
Don Descoteau News staff
Once a week, Gisele DeVito climbs into a van and heads over to the Westshore adult daycare program at The Priory care facility in Colwood. Her active participation in the program once prompted a Priory staffer to mistake her for a volunteer. The truth is, DeVito, 58, was diagnosed about two years ago with early onset Alzheimer disease and attends the program to keep her body and mind active. “I could go more, but I like my time,” she says. “I like walking.” The Colwood resident frequently makes the trip between her home on Wishart Road to Esquimalt Lagoon and back. DeVito, with the help of husband, Buddy, and her neuropsychiatrist Dr. Mohamed Gheis, is among those who are being proactive with their health after receiving a dementiarelated diagnosis. Lori McLeod, executive director of the Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation, which helps fund the centre, says in years past the options were more limited for such patients. “Before, you’d put them in the hospital and that was that,” she says. “Now people want to stay at home as long as possible and (this program) is a way to help do that.” Buddy DeVito has personal experience with the former scenario. “Seven years ago my mother died of Alzheimer’s disease, and she had been in the hospital for seven years,” he says. He and Gisele feel blessed that her situation has not paralleled that of his mother and other dementia patients who have suffered through the stages of the degenerative disease. The adult daycare centre is just one of many resources the Eldercare Foundation steers people toward

as a way of enhancing the quality of life of older adults or those needing health monitoring. Many families aren’t quite sure where to begin searching for such help, McLeod says. “Our dream is
that people, as they’re aging, start looking for resources in the community – they learn what’s out there and get connected. Online resources can be overwhelming. We want to make it easy.” For information

For the dinner and dancing only, it’s $49 per person. “It was a real coup to get the likes of Bob Saunders on board – he’s putting up a car as a hole-inone prize – and Tom Morrisey and his band,” DeVito said.

OUR VIEW
Royal Bay a gift for all concerned The saga of the Royal Bay lands in Colwood has a lengthy history. The municipality began looking to create an all-encompassing plan for the future of the 600acre site long before gravel pit operator Lehigh filled up the last barge and sent it on its way back in 2007. The original Royal Bay area plan, part of Colwood’s official community plan, dates to 1996. Back then, area politicians and staff decided they had to start thinking ahead and prepare for the day, month, year when the pit would come to the end of its useful life for that purpose. The plan was, in essence, a mine reclamation project. Times have changed a lot in the years since, with perhaps the biggest difference being the West Shore’s strategic position in the housing continuum of Greater Victoria. People’s values have changed and what they come to expect has as well, which is why this plan needs a total revamp. While the existing environmental and natural characteristics of the area must be taken into account and preserved, the Royal Bay lands represent a virtual blank slate on which can be created a model neighbourhood that is the envy of urban planners and designers, not to mention prospective residents, around the Pacific Northwest. In the end, a redevelopment project such as this comes down to vision, shared by more than just our elected representatives. The colourful drawings made available by the city offer a sense of the possible for this dazzling piece of real estate, and show that bright minds have been thinking long and hard about the potential for Royal Bay. This is an area that makes up more than 10 per cent of the land mass of Colwood. It’s therefore crucially important that the city and those who would develop the land use this gift wisely and create something special that will stand the test of time. The realities of the real estate market will dictate the speed of development, but we don’t want to be here in another 20 years still wondering what might become of the site. What do you think?

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-inthe-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree. Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night. B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version. For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia. If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Both sides in labour dispute have been painted unfairly Teachers. I love them. Especially my daughter, so you know the direction from whence I write. And I am sure all of us can relive fond memories of “the best years of our lives.” So how can we not feel empathy for these dedicated champions of wisdom that we trust our children with? It is through this admiration, however, that I have become worried that the fomenting of hostility between the government and teachers will mar our responsibilities as proud citizens of B.C. I know that we seldom think of public servants as being as noble a profession as teachers, but perhaps it is an unfair conjecture. And now we have branded them as antagonists. Whether they are labeled as Liberal or NDP or BCTF, or have personal
names such as Christy or Peter or Jim, every one of us should respect them for their diligence and persistence. Difficult tasks were foisted on them by a due process through which we have chosen to govern ourselves. They have heavy burdens to carry and are being judged daily by ill-informed armchair critics and baited with innuendo-riddled questions from the media. I honestly believe that these adversaries do not have personal agendas. They are doing their jobs. They are trying to complete a business transaction. Too many harsh words are being spoken. Please be understanding and considerate. Kindness is not just for dogs and little children. Ted Cameron Colwood

Thetis Lake bus service to be added
B.C. Transit is exercising the concept of give and take for its summer bus schedule. As of Monday (June 23), routes that service the University of Victoria, Camosun College and Royal Roads University will see slightly reduced schedules. The seasonal adjustment is made to conserve transit hours
during the less popular summer months to be able to maximize service hours during peak ridership when post-secondary schools are in session. On the other hand, a new service to Thetis Lake is being introduced as part of the No. 53 Atkins Road bus route. The side trip, a suggestion from transit riders
who responded to a public consultation last fall, will run until Sept. 1. For the summer season, service is also being increased on Routes 75 and 81 to accommodate extra passengers heading to Sidney, Brentwood Bay and Swartz Bay. Also affecting the West Shore is a discontinuation of the No. 49
NEWS GAZETTE
Langford Exchange bus due to low ridership. Service on that run has been picked up on other routes. For more details on these and other service adjustments, pick up a Rider’s Guide on board any bus, visit bctransit.com/regions/ vic or call the BusLine at 250-3826161. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Shamrocks return home on hot streak Fresh off two Western Lacrosse Association road victories, the Victoria Shamrocks bring their game back to The Q Centre this Friday (June 20, 7:45 p.m. start) for an alumni night game against the New Westminster Salmonbellies. Still undefeated after seven out-
Carmine and Tracy Antonacci are tournament co-ordinators for this weekend’s Gllangcolme Tennis Festival at the Langford Tennis Club. They’re also among the pairs expected to compete for the ‘A’ flight title.
TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL SUBDIVISION & SERVICING DEVELOPMENT BYLAW REVIEW COMMUNITY OPEN HOUSE TUESDAY, JUNE 24TH, 3:30PM TO 6:30PM TOWN HALL, 45 VIEW ROYAL AVENUE
Don Descoteau/ News staff
West Coast flavour for tennis event 32nd annual Gllangcolme mixed doubles begins this week Don Descoteau News staff
It’s been nearly 20 years since the West Shore celebrated Gllangcolme Days. The Langford Tennis Club has maintained the tradition, in name at least, by continuing to host the Gllangcolme Tennis Festival mixed doubles event. The 32nd annual tournament had a full draw of 32 teams last year and an equal number are expected to be signed up as plays gets underway tomorrow (June 19) on the courts at Royal Roads University. Sue Grandmaison, club vicepresident and former tournament co-ordinator, said the
ings (6-0-1), the ’Rocks beat Burnaby 13-10 and the Langley Thunder 13-4 last week. Corey Small leads the team and league in scoring, with 19 goals and 23 assists in seven games, followed closely by teammate Rhys Duch, who has 35 points in six games.
event draws from around the region and beyond. “We’ve got a couple of people coming from Alberta, from Peachland, all over Victoria and up Island as well,” she said. One of several tournaments the club hosts between spring and fall, the Gllangcolme event – perhaps more than any other it hosts – is part tennis, part social function, Grandmaison said. There’s a West Coast-themed dinner/dance on Saturday that includes a silent auction fundraiser for the club’s junior program and Westshore Food Bank. “People stay and have fun and we give them free breakfast in the morning (Saturday and Sunday). It keeps everybody
together. It’s competitive, but social as well.” On the tennis side, the tripleknockout tournament has an A, B and C flight, with every team starting in the A division. The top seeds going in are Peter and Damaris Brix of Saanich, while the host club’s Tracy and Carmine Antonacci, as well as Grandmaison and playing partner Serge Joseph of Vancouver, are also expected to compete for the title. Matches begin at 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 8:30 a.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. Sunday, with the ‘A’ final slated for 2:30 p.m. that day.

Softball playoffs head toward B.C.s
Doing it for dads With Hatley Castle looming in the background, runners head out from the start of the 8K race for the Do it For Dads fundraiser for The Prostate Centre around the Royal Roads University grounds. Of the official shirts worn by participants, blue were for supporters and white for prostate cancer survivors. The event also featured an 8K walk and a 3K walk/run.
West Shore hosting events The Langford Lightning Bantam C girls used a big inning in the South Island district softball championship final Sunday to beat Salt Spring Island 6-4 at Centennial Park in Central Saanich. The small-island team led 3-2 after two innings and 4-2 after four before the Lightning rallied for four runs in the fifth. Both finalists qualified for the under-16C provincial tournament, set for July 4 to 6 in Port Alberni. Lightning head coach Mike Dixon said his girls showed character with the victory and should be very competitive at the B.C.s. “I would definitely say that the best hitting team is the one that dominates there,” he said. “You’ve got to go out and hit the ball solid.” While the Lightning featured what Dixon characterized as the best defence in the league, they came through with the bats when it mattered on the weekend. They opened with a 5-2 win Saturday over the Brett Barwis-coached Lightning squad, won 13-2 over Oak Bay-Carnarvon and downed Salt Spring 11-9 in the winner’s bracket final. Dixon’s team has one league game left, against Peninsula. A win there will tie them with Central Saanich for top spot in the regular season. District playdowns in other age and skill levels also happened last weekend and are ongoing leading up to the various provincial tournaments. View Royal hosts the lone provincial tournament in the region, the U14A girls championship, July 4 to 6 at Centennial Park on Helmcken Road. Langford and View Royal also host the U12C regional tournaments this weekend. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Whether it’s buying/selling homes or any other business activity - Integrity is the Essence of Everything Successful! This is my motto - not just in business, but in life. My goal is to be committed to caring about the ‘person’ before the ‘client’, striving to go beyond what is expected of me. Real estate can sometimes be problematic, but a good agent sticks with his client through these challenging times. I am lucky to have lived on the Westshore for the past 20 years. Witnessing its transition into a vibrant community with a great mix of recreational amenities and business development has proven to be a wonderful and safe place to raise my children. My five years of real estate sales has given me the opportunity to promote the Westshore to young, growing families. I am proud to say, many are still friends today. I look forward to making many more!

CRD park patrols increase in summer RCMP, CRD teaming up Arnold Lim News staff
Visitors to the West Shore’s regional parks will be seeing a little more black and blue through the summer. The Capital Regional District and West Shore RCMP are again co-operating on a joint program to increase enforcement at Thetis Lake, Matheson Lake and Witty’s Lagoon. The goal for the increased presence is to curb bylaw violations and alcohol use in regional parks, especially at the popular beaches during peak times of year. “We are working towards promoting the positive use of the parks, deterring alcohol and drug use in the parks, making sure people are being safe around water and abiding by the rules of the park,” said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “(It is) to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience and it’s a positive environment to be in.” This year marks the fourth summer for the partnership, which sees the RCMP and CRD share information and run additional mountain bike, foot and boat patrols. Rochlitz said it’s a way to engage the public, inform with education and enforce when needed. She added that An example of the program making a positive contribution came when officers on patrol found a man in a park who had suffered a broken leg and helped him to safety. “It is a good way to work together for a common goal and an opportunity for us to be visible in the parks,” she said. “We want in the park to go for the right reasons and make sure their activity is not infringing on another person’s activity. Those are the biggest keys, that everyone is enjoying it and enjoying it safely.” alim@vicnews.com

During the hearing, resident Bob McLean of Addlington Place complained that a grass hydroseeding initiative done early this year to cut down on the dust was plowed under after a short time. Fenske reiterated that the plan is to get the site work done as quickly as possible. “It’s unfortunate that (bcIMC’s) intent in trying to be a good neighbour has been perceived as not being a good neighbour,” he said.
Not everyone focused entirely on the negative aspects of the work at the hearing. Roger Conrod of Perimeter Place, whose wife has asthma and has been struggling with the dust, nonetheless noted, “you have to give a bit to gain a bit.” He said the developers have “done a good job in general,” but need to pay more attention to access and egress around the site. Sandra McLean voiced optimism over what the project might look like 20 to 25 years
down the road, but said the city wasn’t doing much to follow up on current bylaw infractions. “I want to know that the city’s going to be a good neighbour,” she said. Jeff Hieu, speaking on behalf of the developer, committed to better communication around plans for the property and reminded listeners that “this is just the beginning of a much longer process.” The approval of changes to the OCP does not preclude close scrutiny of each element
of the development plan, the first phase of which would be Meadow, a collection of single family detached homes that borders Metchosin Road and abuts the school property. Overall, the Royal Bay proposal calls for 2,300 housing units to be constructed by full buildout in 2038, in formats ranging from single family detached homes to apartments. There would be two commercial hubs and a set of distinct neighbourhoods. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

New Rider’s Guide

Sports & Eye Injuries With the arrival of spring and summer comes a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an elbow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fingernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fly-ball. Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fist, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye. More severe blunt trauma may cause further damage to important eye structures such as the retina or optic nerve, and can result in vision loss. Penetrating injuries occur when an object pierces the eye. Symptoms include vision loss, bleeding on the surface of the eye and foreign objects imbedded in the eye. Prompt treatment is the key to preserving your vision. With most eye injuries, it is best to have them immediately examined by an optometrist. An exception would be something sticking into the eye. Leave the object in place and go directly to Emergency. This summer, when you or your loved ones take to the field, be sure to protect your eyes with appropriate sports eyewear. Though they do not completely eliminate the eye injury, they will greatly reduce it.

Bread being crafted the old-fashioned way Homemade takes on new meaning at Thrifty’s bakery There was a breaking of the bread at Thrifty Foods’ Admirals Walk store last week, as the company unveiled its latest business initiative. The Hearth is designed to take the View Royal store’s bakery department to the next level. The pilot project has seen the product line expand, with an eye on artisan breads and gourmet products, while continuing to offer more traditional bakery fare.
The store’s bakery manager, Seth Gustavson, was at the centre of the special ceremony Thursday. He spoke about how scratch ingredients make every loaf of bread unique. “Just like with wine, where each vineyard has specific qualities that contribute to the flavour and body of the final product, artisan bread starters have their own unique profile,” he said. The Hearth, developed in response to customer comments and suggestions, is a business template the company hopes to repeat in its other Vancouver Island stores. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
