Pride shines through in school project New Belmont secondary will leave current school in the dust

“We are building a (school) today that will look a lot like a traditional school, however, the infrastructure is such that it will be able to evolve and adapt to changes of education and the needs of learning for the next 50 years.””

Arnold Lim News staff

This school won’t be needing any duct tape. The concrete foundation for the new Belmont secondary is “95-per-cent complete” and the structural steel is already coming in. While passersby might not see major changes to the project dayto-day, despite there being just over a year before occupancy, site superintendent Al Nichol said the 145,000 square-foot, 46-classroom school is well on its way. “There is plenty of work happening on the opposite side and in the background,” he said. “That might not be quite as apparent to the untrained eye.” The state-of-the-art facility, being built by contractor Yellowridge Construction Ltd., which secured the bid in May of 2013, sits on a 500,000 square foot piece of property along Glen Lake Road. It will hit its next milestone this September, with the plan to have the roof completed and the building sealed up for the rainy season in November, Nichol said. “I will deal with the weather; I always do.” Nichol, who attended Belmont 24 years ago and got into construction shortly after, said the run-down current school has run its course. He’s excited at the prospect of turning over the new building to principal Ray Miller and the 1,200 grade 9 to 12 students who will start school there in September 2015.

Belmont secondary principal Ray Miller dropped by the construction site of his new school, which is slated to open in September of 2015 and will feature a number of state-of-the-art amenities. “I can’t wait to see the result, where the ideas of so many become a school,” Miller said. “It has been a very consultative process with so many people that it is exciting to now see those ideas get drawn on paper and eventually constructed.” The new building will feature seven science labs, a multipurpose lab and an atrium on the top floor. It is being built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED)

Gold standard, with an eye to staying current even as education evolves. “This school is built in around the concept of future proofing,” Miller said. “We are building a (school) today that will look a lot like a traditional school, however, the infrastructure is such that it will be able to evolve and adapt to changes of education and the needs of learning for the next 50 years.” The school will also feature

a technology and arts centre, a two-storey library in the centre, three learning communities, a community use neighbourhood learning centre, a sports field and two gymnasiums with three basketball courts. “It will be largest gymnasium on the Island. Just the gym alone is (awe inspiring) … We are (also) holding off purchasing equipment so we can have the most current equipment when the school opens,” Miller said.

“We have put a lot of thought into how we can make it not just look like all the other schools over the last number of years, but to be a learning community where people are sharing and learning together, both teachers and students.” In order to produce such a facility within the next 14 months, Nichol, who oversaw new school construction in Port Alberni and Lake Cowichan, said his team of 40 to 50 workers will grow to more than 100 as the school gets closer to occupancy. He looks forward to showing off the four-floor learning facility upon completion. With fancy touches such as a flood of natural light from the atrium and showpiece wood ceilings in the library, the school will outdo the current one in every aspect, he said. “I love construction and building and seeing people’s reactions at the end of the job; that is why I do this. I think they are going to be excited. To be honest, I think they will be blown away coming from the old Belmont. They will be blown away.” alim@vicnews.com

Police seeking tips from public in sex assault case Suspect thought to be on foot at time of attack Don Descoteau News staff

In the wake of Thursday’s sexual assault of a woman on the Galloping Goose Trail off Jacklin Road in Langford, West Shore RCMP are still encouraging the public to come forward with tips, even those seemingly unrelated. Cpl. Darren Lagan,

Hannah’s homecoming a cause for celebration Langford child, family look to move on from her latest health challenges Arnold Lim News staff

Hannah Day is all smiles. Donning a baby blue dress, the four year old’s bare feet scramble up and down the yard like those of any other child, laughing and dragging their way through the dirt. Battling rhabdomyosarcoma since 2012 and more recently leukemia, the Langford girl is celebrating a homecoming and a milestone: 100 days cancer-free. Her father, Robert Day, said the community support they received as the family made their way back from B.C. Children’s Hospital has been awe-inspiring. “To be able to drive down the road and see numerous people there just to wave and say hello, it touched my heart to be able to see those people,” he said. “It is a super honour for me to be able to bring my daughter home that has fought so hard over the last two years.” Supporters of Hannah, many of whom the family don’t even know, lined the road from the ferry terminal Saturday to wave and honk in support of the young cancer survivor, a celebration that culminated in a barbecue in their home municipality. The gathering, with the backdrop of the

Arnold Lim/News staff

Hannah Day, 4, and her father, Robert Day, share a laugh at a homecoming barbecue celebrating her return to Langford and her being 100 days cancer free. 12 foot high and 15 foot wide mural of Hannah painted by local artist Paul Archer, was the perfect end to a special day, Robert said. “It is such a great feeling to know that we are at the end and we can possibly move forward and move on with our lives. And it happened on my birthday, so it makes it a

really good feeling,” he said. Day is cautiously optimistic for his daughter, who received a stem cell transplant from her mother, Brook Ervin, earlier in the year. They will continue to monitor Hannah, but there is little else they can do for her, and she seems to be improving day by day. “She (had) lost almost every pound she

had to offer. She weighed 10 pounds less than her two-year-old sister,” Day said. “It has just been over the last 100 days since this transplant that everything has been working in her favour. She has been able to put almost 10 pounds back on.” Mikayla Evans, a cancer patient at B.C. Children’s Hospital who met Hannah there, was also on hand to celebrate the day with her new friend. The 16-year-old Esquimalt High student also went through chemotherapy and lost all her hair. Hannah is not only well loved here, Evans said, she provided strength and support while the teen endured treatment for Hodgkins lymphoma. “She keeps a big smile on her face and makes sure everyone else has a smile too,” she said. “It is great seeing her have a great time, and that they can finally relax a little bit and take it easy. How strong she is … it is just amazing and inspiring. I just want to snuggle her so much right now.” Holding his daughter in his arms, Day said the whole day was one he’ll never forget. “It is awesome. This has consumed our lives for two years to the point you almost don’t feel like you have a life ... It is really nice to be able to take a little bit of a breath and enjoy the time as you spend it,” he said. “It is one of those birthday presents that can’t even be described. It is one of those legendary ones that go down in the books. It can’t be topped.” alim@vicnews.com

Rebels aim to polish community image on West Shore and beyond Going with local football players will help, says club president Don Descoteau News staff

Gaining the support of the community you play in requires more than simply winning on the field, says Elise Pastro. The Westshore Rebels club president is doing her best to show that players who suit up for the team this season and subsequent ones are respectful and take seriously the role they play on and off the field. “We’ve told the players, ‘you need to be seen to be embraced by the community,’” Pastro says, explaining that means in a positive way. Player volunteer efforts at such

Local Sports Team in Black Press’ Best of the City reader’s survey. “Our mantra this year is ‘Turn it Around,’” Pastro says. Fielding a mostly local team in a highly competitive provincial junior football league might not

seem like the best on-the-field strategy, with other teams recruiting talented players from across Western Canada. But Pastro says the club executive and coaches have determined the best way to repair the team’s negative reputation in some sectors of the community is to improve the team chemistry. Incidents involving bad behaviour by players in recent years have partly been a byproduct of bringing in out-of-town players who may not care about the community, she says. Les Bryan, former club president and these days a team parent – his son, Connor, is an offensive lineman – agrees. “There’s something about keeping it local,” he says. “You bring a superstar in and it changes the team chemistry. Often they’re only here for a year, whereas these guys have all played together or against each other in high school.”

Sandra Deseron, a West Shore newcomer with two sons on the team, Eric and Korian, likes the feel of the team already and its place in the community. “It’s a brotherhood,” she says. “You’ve got an integrated, wellbonded team here.” Part of creating a connection with fans and others on the West Shore and beyond is convincing business owners that partnering with the team to help cover costs is a good investment in community, Pastro says. The club, a not-for-profit society, is still looking for sponsorships. Busing alone costs the team $17,000 per season, while field rentals are another $12,000. For more information on supporting the team financially, visit westshorerebelsfootball.com and click on sponsorship/donations, or email Pastro at President@ westshorerebels.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Smoking ban sign of the times A looming ban on smoking in most public areas of the Capital Region, from beaches like Thetis Lake, Esquimalt Lagoon and Matheson Lake, to bus shelters well away from doorways, is a sweeping change for the roughly 11 to 15 per cent of people who still light up on a daily basis. Once implemented, smokers will be prohibited from satisfying their nicotine fix at any park, playground, playing field, public square, beach or bus stop. On the surface (and likely to many smokers), the Capital Regional District’s strict Clean Air Bylaw appears a potential violation of personal freedom. But look closer and it’s obvious the health concerns associated with secondhand smoke should accommodate the increased restrictions on smoking. Still, the increase in the non-smoking buffer zone between doors, windows and air intakes from three to seven metres means smokers are forced to wander for relief in dense urban areas for hundreds of metres, an inconvenient task and not always feasible while on a quick break from work. As well, when the CRD first announced the bylaw last year, the B.C. Civil Liberties Association expressed concern that the government was asking too much of smokers. Association policy director Micheal Vonn pointed to comments made by Island Health officials that smoking near children can have a “significant positive social modelling” effect – meaning it might entice them to smoke – a claim Vonn said was too broad in scope. Smokers should never have to shield their behaviour, nor should they need to quit altogether simply because of a bylaw. Regardless, the balance between smokers’ rights and non-smokers’ health concerns will likely need to be revisited by the courts, as a challenge to the new CRD bylaw is plausible in the next few years. In the meantime, smokers might want to take note of the pending changes and consider a switch to e-cigarettes, which for now (at least) aren’t included in the ban. What do you think?

One of the big questions asked in the days after the Tsilhqot’in decision was this: Is the Northern Gateway pipeline project dead? None of the aboriginal communities along the pipeline route has this kind of declared aboriginal title. Few if any would have a similar strength of claim as the Tsilhqot’in, who fought a small war to defend their territory from a wave of gold seekers in the 1860s. One that does is the Haida Nation, whose occupation of a beautiful group of islands was long defended militarily, and never challenged by any other aboriginal group. Among others, the Haida Nation was represented in the Tsilhqot’in case as interveners. Council of the Haida Nation president Peter Lantin said after the decision that his team is preparing its own aboriginal title case for trial. Few doubt that this assertion of title will be successful, either by negotiation or court ruling. But there is a unique aspect to the Haida claim that would set another precedent. They claim title to the ocean around Haida Gwaii, a challenge to anyone wishing to sail tankers through. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

Radar could be best solution for speeders Re: Speed issue solutions moving slowly, residents say (Gazette, June 25) After reading this article and understanding the issues surrounding speeding in this area, it is easy to see that any solution may not be simple. Now, I have never been a supporter of photo radar, in fact, I consider myself a victim of it in the past and vocally supported its removal. That being said, I do believe that photo radar could be used as a deterrent for speeding in this case, if it were installed on a permanent basis and signage provided on the highway leading up to this exit gave ample warnings to drivers.

Notice of work Natural gas main relocation at City Centre Park The City of Langford is expanding the City Centre Park parking lot at 1089 Langford Parkway. FortisBC will relocate a portion of an existing natural gas main to accommodate this upgrade. Crews will be working in July and August, 2014. During this time, natural gas will be vented and may result in a sound similar to a jet engine and a smell like rotten eggs; it may also involve the safe burning of natural gas through a flare stack. This venting procedure could take up to three hours. Limited traffic disruptions along Langford Parkway will take place throughout the duration of this project. We do not anticipate any service disruptions to our customers, and we thank you in advance for your patience.

West Shore pair drafted to NHL

Bronze medal for Classified bowlers National title just eludes grasp of Langford quartet Don Descoteau News staff

A Langford Lanes foursome were close enough to a national bowling title they could taste it. At the National Classified tenpin championship tournament in Saskatoon, Team B.C. was very much in the hunt for the crown battling eventual champs Manitoba late in the tournament. The prairie squad finished strongly, however, and left the Langford lads to celebrate a bronze medal when all was said and done. Saskatchewan, three points up on B.C. at the end, finished half a point back of Manitoba to take the silver. “It was an eye-opener,” said Todd Jones, one of the West

’Rocks hosting summer lacrosse camp Defending Western Lacrosse Association champion Victoria Shamrocks launch their inaugural day camp for minor lacrosse players next week at The Q Centre in Colwood. The camp, featuring Shamrocks offense players Rhys Duch, Corey Small, defender Dan MacRae, and transition player Karsen Leung and others as instructors, runs July 7 to 10. The instructional camp, aimed at players in the tyke, novice, pee wee and bantam age groups, is focused on player development, individual skills, team skills and game play. It runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day. For more information, visit victoria shamrocks. com.

Langford Lanes team Brad McDonald, left, Frances Kremler, Brad Monette and Todd Jones were all smiles after being presented with their National Classified bronze medals. Shore bowlers. “The lanes were tough. They used a 47-foot oil pattern – we’re used to 30 feet – that doesn’t leave a lot of time for the ball to grip and hook.” Even with the challenge of new pins that didn’t have quite as much action as well-worn ones, the nationals provided the Langford bowlers with a positive overall experience, Jones said. “They treated us like gold. We met a lot of different people and the competition was good.” The format saw teams play two games against each of the other seven teams, with three points awarded to the team with the higher total each game. Individuals in each of four average divisions went head-to-

head, playing for one point per game. Langford’s Frances Kremler won his division by averaging 178.21 over the 14 games. Brad McDonald wound up second overall in the top division by averaging just over 200, while Jones and Brad Monette were both fourth in their categories. In a tournament where they played seven matches, finishing just 3.5 points back of the gold medallists was no small feat, admitted Jones. “It’s a long road to get there, but I would definitely love to do it over again,” he said. “(Competing in) nationals in any sport means you’re among the best in the country.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Two talented West Shore hockey products took a step forward in their careers last weekend. Defenceman Dysin Mayo, who won a Memorial Cup this past season as a member of the Edmonton Oil Kings, and goaltender Alec Dillon, who stopped pucks for the Victoria Grizzlies last season, were both chosen in the fifth round of the National Hockey League’s 2014 entry draft. Mayo was chosen 133rd by the Arizona Coyotes, while Dillon went 150th to the Stanley Cup champion Los Angeles Kings. Mayo, a six-one, 180-pound blueliner who who turns 18 next month, will most likely remain with the Western Hockey League club next year. He had 15 points in 21 playoff games for the Kings in 2014. Dillon, 6-5, 170, posted a 2.76 goals

Eye hazards in the backyard

Some day soon the rain will stop, and we will venture outdoors to do dour bit in making Victoria “the Garden City”. Before setting out to tame your own personal wilderness, stop and think about your eyes (and other body parts). Pruning and trimming can be hazardous. A branch snapping back and hitting the eye can cause mechanical damage and possibly toxic reaction or infection. A projectile, from a weedeater or lawnmower, can also cause serious damage to your body. Perhaps you use an arsenal or herbicides and pesticides to help control your garden? Or you have a pool which requires chlorine? These chemicals aren’t eyefriendly either. If you do splash a chemical in the eye, flush the eye immediately with vast, huge, enormous quantities of clean cold water; then go to Emergency if necessary. The good news is that eye protection is simple and inexpensive. Safety glasses and goggles that fit over prescription glasses are all that is required, and you can find them in your local hardware store. Our local eye surgeons would rather spend their weekends with their families than treating ocular injuries that are easily prevented. Have a happy and safe spring and summer.

Scholarship award fuels chef dreams for Langford teen Post-secondary cash provided for families in hardship Arnold Lim News staff

Jake Bird is going to college. The 15-year-old Langford resident and Edward Milne Community School student, presented last week with a national CIBC Youthvision Scholarship worth up to $38,000, said it meant everything to him and his grandmother Marilyn Smith, who admitted they wouldn’t have been able to otherwise afford post-secondary education. “It gives me some peace of mind that he can go on and get university training and will be able to function and have a good job,” Smith said. “As a pensioner I couldn’t afford to send him, so this is a phenomenal thing to happen.” She was unsure whether her autistic grandson, who she has cared for since he was two, would qualify for the scholarship program. When she heard the news Jake was one of 33 recipients chosen from across Canada, she was ecstatic. “When we submitted the application we thought, ‘they can say yes or no.’ When we got the phone call I was

awestruck because it meant so many things to us,” she said. “Autism is considered a disability. That he has this equal chance as the other ones who have the B plus and A averages, this is a dream.” Jake hopes to one day become a chef. Having just finished Grade 10, he has two years to choose between Camosun and UVic, which both have culinary arts programs. Melissa Hill, general manager of Central Victoria CIBC branches, said she was proud to see three welldeserving Island residents secure the scholarships. The others are Esquimalt High student Henry Sexsmith of Victoria and Stelly’s student Mikayla Milne of Sidney. “It is fantastic,” Hill said. “It helps youth in need who wouldn’t otherwise be able to go onto post-secondary education. With the scholarship, (these) three people will (have) a great opportunity to fulfill their dreams.” Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada and the YMCA were partners in the scholarship program. The money comes from a $4,000 annual contribution to tuition for four years and six summer internships through the YMCA. The winners will receive ongoing mentorship throughout their post-secondary education. alim@vicnews.com
