Some choices are hard.

Those who may not have gone chasing into the Cariboo or Klondike to find their fortune settled around Leechtown near Sooke, a nowdefunct settlement built on the allure of gold 150 years ago. “The people of this area don’t realize how incredible the gold rush was and how incredible the exploration that found the gold was and what it did to the economy in Victoria,” Donna Chaytor says. EE

mineral and placer rights. Those claims, for which he paid $300 each to the province, stretch across portions of the Leech River near Sooke. There’s no making a living from this hobby, Chaytor admits. He and the approximately 100 members of the group chase the glitter and glow of gold for the rush. “I look at it as redneck recreation,” he says, jokingly. “A lot of people like to go down the trails, sniff flowers and look at the birds and bees. Some of us like to get into nature and roll around in it.” Chaytor and his wife, Donna, have been placer mining for decades. Greater Victoria and the surrounding areas played an important role in the gold rush.

Langford resident Bruce Chaytor, president of the Vancouver Island Placer Miners Association, shows off his gold panning skills on the Goldstream River.

Bruce Chaytor sticks a shovel into the dirt. After carefully pouring the material into a black pan, he steps into the Goldstream River and allows the stream to fill the pan. He carefully shakes the pan as the liquid slowly erodes the dark pile. He sifts his fingers through the remnants of sand and dirt before admitting there isn’t any gold this time. Finding only mud is the norm, Chaytor says, yet the long-time placer miner just can’t stay away from gold panning. “You’re happy even when you find a little gold dust. It is a quest, much like fishing. You are always trying to find which crack is worth the effort,” he says. “You strategize, because you have substantial rocks you have to get under or around (and) there may be 100 different cracks to choose from. It is a singular pursuit of outsmarting Mother Nature.” Chaytor, who lives in Langford, is the founder of the Vancouver Island Placer Miner Association, a group that pans for minerals, unlike hard-rock miners, who may blast or drill for them. Once a week he gets out onto one of his five claims – land on which he owns the

Arnold Lim/News staff

View Royal Fire Chief Paul Hurst stands inside the under-construction public safety building, which he hopes his department will be able to occupy in October.

View Royal taking another step toward public safety Long-term vision expected to come to fruition this fall Arnold Lim News staff

Public safety is rising before the citizens of View Royal. Ten months after the first shovel hit the ground on the new 20,000 square-foot facility that will house the fire department, building inspections, bylaw enforcement and other emergency services, the public safety building is almost ready. Fire Chief Paul Hurst hopes to see the grand opening by early October. “It has been a long time coming,” he said. “Two chiefs before

me started the process 21 years ago. We’ve been looking at blueprints for two years and (we’ll be) excited to finally see it open. I think the residents of View Royal will be pretty proud when we open the doors.” While many of the walls aren’t in yet and occupancy is months away, Hurst can envision the five specific areas planned for the building. Mechanical and services will be housed on the east side, a huge apparatus bay in the middle will be home to the fire trucks, the two-level administration wing and volunteer space, while the emergency operations centre and classrooms will be situated in the west wing. The new facility was approved by View Royal residents in a 2012 referendum after voters rejected a plan that would have seen the

municipality borrow up to $8 million rather than about $5.5 million. The building will be completed for roughly $10 million – $2.3 million for the land and $7.49 million for the building. It replaces the aging 9,800-square-foot building a little less than a kilometre south on Old Island Highway. “The biggest issue was the seismic quality. The old hall is full of asbestos and mould,” Hurst said. “It’s served its time and we were running out of space. I think the important thing for the community to realize is now in the event of a disaster … your fire department is actually going to be able to respond. Before, that building was going to come down (in an earthquake) and you had no response capability. People were literally going to be on their own.” Equipment is slowly being

transferred into the new facility and Hurst said the transition will be quick once the 65 firefighters and staff finally move in. “When we are ready to turn the key, we unplug the phones, lock the door and come down the street. We move the trucks over, plug it in and we are open for business. It will be a quick transition – we can’t be down for a minute.” The site of the current fire hall, built in 1957 for $16,000, has already been rezoned for mixed uses. Council’s intent is to see it sold to help recoup some of the cost of the new facility, Coun. Heidi Rast said. “We are on budget, but we are a bit behind schedule,” she said. “I am really excited about it. It’s a building residents should be proud of and take ownership of. We have an open house every

year inviting the entire community over, and I am hoping, fingers crossed, it will be ready for the event. That would be a great way to smash the champagne over the building, so to speak. A great grand opening.” Hurst said the new building will welcome generations of firefighters – most of whom are volunteers and residents of the town – for decades to come. “View Royal is a great place to live and this fits with the strategic vision of the town. A safe community, a safe place to live, with the ability for us to look after the community,” he said. “We have great equipment, we have great staff. Now we will have a facility that houses all that. If we have a problem we can put that equipment and training to work.” alim@vicnews.com

of the Week

Langford resident Kim O’Donohue was fast with her camera last week during a trip down to Esquimalt Lagoon. She happened to catch a heron in action, either landing or taking off, we’re not sure. Nonetheless, the unusual motion captured and the well-defined feathers made this photo stand out for us. “I like it because it looks like the heron is dancing and striking a pose!” writes O’Donahue, who wins a Thrifty’s gift card as this week’s winner. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every Wednesday, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a highresolution .jpg copy to editor@goldstreamgazette.com.

Building bridges for West Shore women Longstanding support group looking to attract more area clients

for women looking to update their resume, search for job listings, or find related information. “It’s nice for them to come in and get some grounding and some information,” says Dianne de Champlain, office co-ordinator and facilitator. The response has been good so far, she says, with two or three new people per week inquiring about the programs. But there’s always room for more. Arrangements can be made for child care and transportation for those who need it. For more information, call the new Bridges office at 778-432-3790, stop by 2830 Aldwynd Rd. in Langford, or visit bridgesforwomen.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Don Descoteau News staff

Making the trek to downtown Victoria to take part in programs is not uncommon for clients of Bridges for Women. Taking the bus in from the West Shore or even Sooke was, until May, the only option for women looking to use this valuable service, which helps women who have suffered abuse or trauma overcome barriers to self-esteem, education and job placement. Bridges, established 26 years ago, opened an office in Langford about two months ago next to the West Shore Chamber of Commerce. Staff hope to spread word of their existence to potential clients in the area, especially those for whom going into town was yet another barrier to receiving help. “It’s great to be able to be closer and more accessible,” says Nicole Bichard, counsellor and program facilitator at the West Shore office. Among its offerings, Bridges hosts group and one-on-one counselling sessions including specific work with those who have suffered trauma or abuse, pre-employment preparation and career assessments. While many programs are offered on a regular basis, Bridges also has a continuous intake that allows women to come in and see if a particular program is a good fit for them. “This is about being able to help empower women,” Bichard says. “And recognizing that survivors of abuse and trauma are tremendously resilient, we help them recognize those skills and abilities are within themselves and help

Jenny Holder, director of programs for Bridges, says the downtown office would help roughly 20 clients a year from the West Shore and Sooke areas. About half that many have already connected with the new office, she says. As well, Bridges hopes to work closely with other service providers in the area to give clients their best chance at a bright future. “We want to contribute to the network that already exists here,” Bichard says. As a specialized employment service provider, Bridges offers what is referred to as a “trauma informed employment readiness program.” The experiences of trauma, abuse, neglect and violence have

an effect on all areas of a woman’s life, Bichard explains, and there can be various ways that experience shows up. “One important area is employment,” she says. “We can help women understand the psychological and physiological effects of that in the workplace. There may be something that happens at work that makes her feel particularly anxious; that triggers experiences of abuse or trauma. We help her look at that and develop healthy coping strategies to be able to find work or stay in a job.” One program being offered touches on practical topics, such as determining ‘what is the ideal workplace?’ This week’s class will focus on getting grounded, while a previous one saw participants do the Myers-Briggs test, to understand where their personality and charac-

ter fit into the workplace. While the new office has available virtually all of the services available to women as the downtown office, Bridges is still assessing what will be the most useful and most effective programs to offer on the West Shore. A bank of donated computers was recently set up to be used in the classes and as a resource

Did you know? n Bridges for Women in Langford has been open since May and has benefited from donations from the community to outfit its office. However, the office is still in need of a few items of furniture for its counselling room. If you have a spare easy chair, throw rug, plants or lamps you would like to donate, contact Dianne de Champlain at 778432-3790.

OUR VIEW

Compelling case for bee knowledge The demise of honeybees across North America and Europe has been the focus of many biologists for the past two years in particular, as researchers further connect the industrious insects to plant health and reproduction. News reporter Andrea Peacock spent an afternoon at the district’s newest bee colony, or apiary – installed at the community garden near the University of Victoria on McKenzie Avenue – where she discovered beekeepers frequently battle public stigma around the likelihood of bee stings. Bee allergies are rightfully a primary concern when considering the location of a new colony, but in reality, the insects are much more content to go about their business than sting passersby. It’s encouraging to see the likes of View Royal resident Barry Denluck provide relocation services for beehives at no cost to flustered homeowners with his relative immunity to stings. Interviewed for a recent story in the Gazette, Denluck reported that he needs to be stung 20 to 30 times per year for his body to stay acclimatized to future sting. It’s just part of the job for him. Not everyone feels the same way, however. In families where someone is allergic to wasps, bees or other similar insects, the theory, especially where the allergic person is a child, is to simply avoid them and not take chances. Organizations with expert knowledge in beekeeping, including the Capital Region Beekeepers Association, LifeCycles Project Society and the Greater Victoria Compost Education Centre, can help with identification. If their staff can’t provide the answers you need, they’re certainly willing to reach out to people who can on your behalf. Introducing kids to beekeeping at an early age can also help diffuse the fear around bee behaviour. So next time you notice a buzzing insect near your patio furniture, take a moment to identify it. If it’s a honeybee, bumblebee or other noncarnivorous creature, let it be. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

emphasized the difference between capital and operating expenditures. “We’re borrowing to build as opposed to paying for the groceries,” he said. “Debt free B.C.” was not an outright misrepresentation, merely one of the most farfetched promises ever delivered in the history of B.C. politics. The legislature is to convene in October so the B.C. Liberals can pass a taxation framework for the nascent liquefied natural gas industry, which the government hopes will generate enough revenues to ultimately pay off the province’s $60-billion mortgage. Meanwhile there is more capital debt ahead. The cabinet is expected to green-light the Site C dam on the Peace River this fall, a decade-long project estimated to cost $8 billion. Along with the public accounts, the finance ministry released a list of surplus land sales. The sale of 50-odd properties, some of them closed schools, netted the provincial treasury about $310 million, which accounts for most of the surplus. Was this “selling off the family silverware to try and balance the books,” as NDP leader John Horgan termed it before the election? It’s certainly not a revenue source to be matched next year.

LETTERS Left-lane drivers need to be monitored Re: Letting Drivers Set Speed Limits (Letters, July 16) It is clearly time that left lane hogs are exposed for being a major cause of many accidents and road rage. I totally endorse signs such as that noted in Tom Fletcher’s article (“Keep Right, Let Others Pass”) and any other similar signage that could make our roads safer. For years, I have observed the impact of left lane hogs being the cause of tailgating and unnecessary or dangerous back and forth

lane changes required to get around them. I have challenged others on this issue and have been told that I have every legal right to be in the left lane and I can go at whatever speed I want. This is short sighted arrogance in my view. I lived in Montreal for a couple of years in the 1970s and such left lane hogs were not tolerated, particularly by cab drivers who would tailgate with horns blaring and headlights flashing. So long as the left lane was

not congested, traffic flow was smooth and safe. I believe that legislation should be introduced to make it an offence to impede traffic in the left lane if a move to the right travelling lane could be safely made. Too many drivers stay needlessly in the left lane and continue alongside others in the right hand travelling lane and merely keep pace at the same speed. This creates the impediment and the related consequences.

Only the police should have the task of enforcing speed limits and not some self-appointed left lane hog “traffic monitor.” I have absolutely no doubt that dangerous traffic maneuvers and accidents will be significantly reduced if drivers who continually travel in the left lane are eliminated, either voluntarily or by police enforcement. I can only hope for that day. Robert Chong Saanich

Sunglass Protection Sunglasses, clip-ons and tinted lenses are used to block out the glare of bright sunlight. They can also filter out ultra-violet (UV) rays. These rays are invisible to the eye, yet potentially harmful. UV is thought to be mostly absorbed at the corneal level. This is the cause of “snow blindness,” an extremely painful condition. However, UV exposure is also a risk factor for increasing the formation of cataracts and the development of macular degeneration. Misconceptions exist regarding sunglass selection and protection. It is true that you can’t tell how much UV a pair of sunglasses is blocking by the color or the density of tint. Blocking UV light does not have to be difficult or expensive. Even a basic pair of sunglasses that claims to block 100% of UV almost certainly does. The advantage of some premium products lies in the quality of their optics and the ability to enhance the vision of the wearer. To get the best advice about sunglasses talk to an optometrist.

Area’s gold mining history played key role in development Continued from Page A1

BC Childhood Cancer Parents Association ‘Supporting Children with Cancer and their Families on Vancouver Island’

”It was short lived, but it brought on different industries that has brought sustenance to the southern part of Vancouver Island for many years.” A new monument marking Leechtown’s 150th anniversary was unveiled July 19 in Kapoor Regional Park in Sooke along the Galloping Goose trail, on the edge of where the town once stood. Donna says it stands as a reminder of what the gold industry meant to the area, including the naming of one of the West Shore’s most famous streets. “That is why it is called Goldstream Avenue, because there used to be a huge underground mine where they found gold and a big hard rock exploration in the late 1800’s,” she says. “We (just) want to keep history alive.” In the meantime the couple, who both have what they call a healthy collection of gold pieces, kept mostly as souvenirs, continue panning streams and rivers in search of nuggets. “It has evolved into a lifestyle … It is an individualist pursuit

Arnold Lim/News staff

Finding gold nuggets or flakes in a pan is the goal of placer miners, as this demonstration by Bruce Chaytor shows, using gold he previously found. in most cases,” Bruce says. “But the interesting thing is everyone has a tale of reaching into a hole and finding treasure. No one remembers reaching

into the hole and pulling out mud.” For more information visit vipma.ca. alim@vicnews.com

West Shore news

… through the decades

West Shore municipalities are relatively young in terms of years, but the Western Communities, as some still call our area, have been populated for decades. This week, the Gazette begins a new feature spotlighting the top stories from past decades. It’s amazing how some stories on topics such as sewage treatment or amalgamation, continue to be issues today. We hope you enjoy this look into the past pages of the Gazette and its predecessors. – Don Descoteau, editor 10 years ago -- View Royal encounters sewage line pump problems it says are being caused by Victoria General Hospital flushing “obstructive waste” into the sanitary sewer system. Among the items found by staff unblocking the pumps are “anatomical parts” including flesh, linen and other nonbiodegradable items. Also in July of 2004: Highlands announces administrator Bruce Woodbury is leaving his post, and the Victoria Shamrocks clinch the Western Lacrosse Association regular season title. 20 years ago -- Langford Mayor Stew Young gets into

it with residents at a council meeting during discussions about a planned expansion of Glen Lake Park along the shoreline. Members of the public argued they hadn’t been given ample chance to give input before the decision was made, to which Young shot back that 30 Langford residents sit on the committees that inform council on proposals. Also in July 1994: A report states that the Colwood RCMP detachment needs more officers to police Langford, and the province decides running Royal Roads University is not an option. 35 years ago -- Securing a site for a district recreation facility is becoming more of a priority as the population in and around Colwood and Langford grow. Sites being considered for development are the area around Centennial Pool, the nearby Colwood racetrack lands and various school grounds. Also in July 1969: Linda Acres and Ronald Aubrey were engaged and the Glen Lake Merchants, coached by Ken Plante, won the Triangle Pony League baseball championship. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

All in good humour Three-year-old MaryJane Miller walks in the shallow water at Witty’s Beach with a piece of seaweed, as grandmother Jenny Miller of Metchosin looks on. The pair were taking advantage of a relatively quiet day at the beach to hang out and play in the ocean.

Director bids adieu to Carlton House

New retiree plans to travel and take time to volunteer around her home community of View Royal Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Next month Seona Stephen slides into retirement from her duties as nurse, counsellor, psychologist, detective, financial advisor and dishwasher. She’s performed each of those roles in her work as executive director of Carlton House for nearly 10 years, since the retirement residence opened. “It’s never really felt like a job,” she said in her light Scottish brogue. “It has been such a rewarding experience as the residents have enriched my life with their personal stories and ability to still have fun.” The touch of accent remains from her homeland, where she did her nurses training in Edinburgh. As a registered nurse, she brings to the job a wealth of experience in acute care hospitals, including Victoria General and Royal Jubilee; over the years she has managed surgical units, emergency, intensive care, operating rooms, worked with a staff of

more than 200 and balanced a budget in the millions of dollars. All prepared her for her work at Carlton House, but the residents there have only added to her education. “I can learn a lesson or two from them. We’re always spending our time running around trying to avoid change,” she said. “Their tolerance and acceptance of things they cannot change, such as specific health issues, is amazing.” She’ll take those lessons to her home community of View Royal where retirement plans include volunteer work and travel. “First of all I’m going to learn all about consignment stores and take all my business suits in to recycle,” she said with a laugh. But she’s already started to pursue her interest in Emergency Management Response and is enrolled, with her husband John, to become volunteers with the Emergency Support Services Program. “I do have a need to give back to the community. I think that will be really rewarding,” she said. “I’ll still be able to help people and use the skills I’ve developed over the years and put them to good use.” There she’ll utilize the vast knowledge gained from residents and her work at Carlton House. It’s also a personal interest that harkens back two decades when the couple lost their Brentwood Bay home to a fire. “It served us a purpose,” Stephen said,

She retires from her role as executive director of the seniors’ independent and supportive living facility in Oak Bay this month. as they’ve overcome it and reached out to others in similar situations over the years. The couple also has grand travel plans to get back to their roots. “It’s a passion that both John and I share,” Stephen said. “Our next trip is in August, we’ll go to visit family in Scotland, Ireland, then over to Paris, down to the south of France and then into Monaco.”

But this month she’ll help ease in new executive directer Terez Payette who takes the helm in August. The roughly 100 residents are what Stephen expects to miss most about coming to Carlton House every day. “They’ve been part of my life for nearly 10 years. They’re like part of my family.” cvanreeuwyk@oakbaynews.com

Short on Down Payment? I Can Help! E

Eduardo Santana recently launched WeechOne, a social media site based on the premise of sharing multiple choice questions with friends. The Brazilian computer engineering student built the site on exchange at the University of Victoria.

ASK M! HOW

No need to phone a friend: there’s an app for that Student hopes social media site helps friends decide Travis Paterson News staff

Bar hopping is common with university students, but it was happening too often for Eduardo Santana. The 22-year-old computer engineering student was courting his current fiancée in their native country of Brazil last year when her indecisiveness began wearing on him. “We would go to one restaurant, or bar, then another. By the third place my fiancée would say, ‘Okay I like this place, we can stay here,’” he said. Santana would attempt to expedite the process by contacting friends with his smartphone, but one day a new concept clicked – post a multiple choice survey

question on an open media platform and get immediate feedback from friends. Now Santana and development partner Caio Ferreira are hoping others will see the benefit – and fun – of posting or answering multiple choice questions with instant results by using WeechOne (a play on words for which one), which the pair launched July 1 at weechone.com. The layout is slick and the answers are chosen through clickable images. “I wanted a fun way to ask friends before we went out: ‘which of these three or four restaurants should we go to,’” Santana said. Santana and Ferreira built the site over the past year, studying as exchange students at the University of Victoria on Brazilian scholarships. They picked up some skills at UVic to build the program. “It’s soon to hit smartphones with apps … on the way. Each question can be localized through a hashtag and the answer options can be an image or text,” he said.

Is it a game changer? Too early to tell, but social media sites often take years to find their niche.

“I wanted a fun way to ask friends before we went out: ‘which of these ... restaurants should we go to.’” - Eduardo Santana, WeechOne developer “We innovate on how the results are gathered in real time and on how intuitive and friendly our interface is,” Santana said. Meanwhile UVic is keeping pace by offering an app development class for 201415, CSC 130, which focuses on mobile web technologies. There’s also support on campus, the UVic Web Development and Design club, among other clubs, and the Innovation Centre for Entrepreneurs, an incubator for startups. reporter@saanichnews.com

Energy savings offered to lower-income families A variety of cost-saving measures available to householders, plus rebates for those who are eligible Tom Fletcher Black Press

B.C. Hydro and FortisBC are expanding their lowincome energy conservation programs to reduce the impact of rising electricity costs. One program offers free energy saving kits, including compact fluorescent

light bulbs, weatherstripping, thermometers to optimize operation of the fridge and freezer and a highefficiency shower head. The other offers free home energy evaluations to see if they home qualifies for an energy-efficient refrigerator or extra insulation. Energy Minister Bill Bennett said the government

changed regulations to increase the low-income cutoff to qualify for the programs. A family of four earning up to $57,200 can now qualify, up from $44,000, a change Bennett said will almost double the number of eligible households. The threshold for a two-person household is $38,300. Customers of the two util-

ities have to apply and provide proof of income to take advantage of the programs. Bennett said last November he would seek ways to provide extra help for lower-income customers when he unveiled a new B.C. Hydro rate plan. That plan will see electricity rates rise by 28 per cent over the next five years, with further

increases to be determined at that time. B.C. Hydro has other energy-saving incentives that are not income-tested, including a rebate program for installation of insulation, draft proofing, heat pumps and water heaters. Those require homeowners to pay for assessment to see if they qualify for rebates.

Bennett said B.C. Hydro spends $160 million a year on its energy efficiency programs, including those for commercial and industrial customers. The utility has set an "aggressive" goal to meet 78 per cent of its demand growth through energy conservation, reducing the need to build new generating capacity, he said.

Japanese heritage celebrated The Victoria Nikkei Society celebrates its 20th anniversary with one foot in the past, as it honours pioneers in the region’s JapaneseCanadian community. The society’s annual Obon Festival, Aug. 10 in Ross Bay Cemetery, draws upon the traditional ceremony in which participants wash the graves of relatives. After being forcefully relocated in B.C. during the Second World War, many families who established the area’s Japanese community did not return. Those who did, play a unique role in today’s community. Despite not sharing blood ties, Nikkei Society co-founder Tsugio Kurushima considers these pioneers to be ancestors of the entire community and as such, they are honoured during Obon. A challenge the Nikkei Society faces today, Krushima said, is encouraging younger Japanese-Canadians to connect with their heritage. However, he understands their ambivalence. “Growing up in Winnipeg, I wasn’t very involved in Japanese culture, I just wanted to be like every other white kid on my block,” he recalls. “It wasn’t until I grew older that I wanted to learn more.” Kurushima hopes the Nikkei Society’s events, including the New Year’s celebrations, cherry blossom festival and upcoming Obon can spark that interest for young Japanese- and non-Japanese Canadians. editor@goldstream gazette.com

With music playing, children frolicking and fresh food at one’s fingertips, the Goldstream Station Market has all the key ingredients for a fun Saturday in the park. In its first year operating out of Veteran’s Memorial Park in Langford, the eight-year-old market is proving that changing locations can be a good thing. “What I like the most is there feels like there’s so much a sense of community there,” says market manager Kate King, who’s in her first year in the job. “It just seems like such a positive place. Everybody there is having a good time and the vendors are great.” Roughly 80 different vendors, mostly local farmers and artisans, have set up stalls at the market at one time or another this year, which King says is an all-time high. It has become a place where many West Shore residents come to stock up on their produce and other fresh foods for

Regional district wants public input on smoking The Capital Regional District’s proposal to expand the controversial Clean Air Bylaw is one step away from becoming law. The CRD board voted 12-6 recently to ban smoking in parks, playgrounds, public squares, bus stops and within seven metres from doorways and air intakes, up from the current three metres. Now the board is seeking more public comment on the bylaw. A public information session with CRD and Island Health staff is being held today (July 23) from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. at the CRD board office, 625 Fisgard St. To speak at the meeting, please register in advance via email at: cleanair@crd.bc.ca.

Royal Roads University has turned silver into gold. The first Canadian university to be rated by the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Rating System has improved its rating from silver in 2009 to gold in 2014 for its sustainability performance in academics, engagement, operations and administration. “It is a validation of our efforts. We’re working towards continuous improvement in our sustainability performance,” said Jordan Kummerfield, a masters student and research assistant at the Office of Sustainability at Royal Roads. “We’re trying to reduce our impact while maintaining delivery of our programs, and I’m happy to

friendlier chemical cleaning agents and installing sensors and LED lights on most student residences. Nancy Wilkin, director of the Office of Sustainability, said the university has made those operational improvements and more, despite the chal-

lenge of working in a national historic site. She said the university is on track to achieve its greenhouse gas reduction targets by 2020. “When you’re dealing with heritage buildings on a national historic site, it makes our improvement all the more notable,” she said. Even the students played a role in the improvement, with a team of environmental science students leading the research that led to top marks in the academic category. More than 650 institutions on six continents are registered under the rating system, a transparent, self-reporting framework colleges and universities use to track their sustainability. “All in all, the university continues to lead the way and is walking the talk,” Kummerfield said. “A lot of the talk involved sustainability, and it is nice to see the university follow through on its own actions.” alim@vicnews.com

Tasty fundraiser at Fort Rodd Colwood Rotary ready to stage Art and Wine Festival Arnold Lim News staff

A sip of wine with your art? The Rotary Club of Colwood has an event for that. The third annual Colwood Rotary Art & Wine Festival returns to the Fort Rodd Hill national historic site Sunday (July 27). More than 30 artists will team with 11 food, wine and cider vendors at this fundraiser for building an inclusive playground for children with disabilities. Artist and photographer Monica Reekie said this event is all about giving back. “I think it is amazing. There are playgrounds, (but) to have one that is accessible to children with whatever handicap (they might have)? Children don’t have to be excluded and sit on the outside,” she said. “They can just have fun with their friends and not worry about barriers.” One of the presenting artists, Reekie will show off her work for a third straight year. Having had the opportunity to partake in the event as an artist and a enjoy a few moments as a spectator, the Saanich resident said the camaraderie of the festival draws her back year after year. “The biggest thing is how people get together to work together for a common goal. People from all over the city come down – the vendors, the wine people, the food people – it is a community coming together,” she said. “The Rotary really thinks through any cause they decide to fund and I think it is amazing.” Colwood Rotary president Michael Wedekind said the

More than $190,000 has been raised for the project over the past four years, including labour donated by West Shore Parks and Recreation. Rotary needs just $14,000 to achieve their goal for the project, which Wedekind hopes will be completed on the West Shore Parks and Recreation lower fields by the start of school this fall. “It is important to me because it is a project that Rotary embraced for the community,” the Langford resident said of the festival. “I hope the people will think it is worthwhile, an afternoon well spent... It is a very worthwhile project.” For $35, participants gain entry to the scenic national historic site, get five one-ounce wine samples of their choice,

appetizers from local restaurants, a blind tasting session with sommelier Micheline Ouimet, art demonstrations and a silent auction. Musical performances from Terry Brennan and other local musicians round out the entertainment. “It is a wonderful (opportunity) spending the day outside talking to people socializing and raising money for a good cause at the same time. It brings everyone together,” Reekie said. “It gives people an experience and makes them feel good about what they have experienced but also makes them feel good because they have helped someone else.” The festival runs 11a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday at Fort Rodd Hill.

Grizzlies recruit leaders to reach next rung BCHL club stocked with character guys for the upcoming season Don Descoteau News staff

Leadership likely won’t be a problem for the Victoria Grizzlies next season. Not the way general managerhead coach Brad Knight has built the core of his team’s roster for 2014-15. “We’re going to have 16 guys on our roster next year that have worn a letter,” he said. “We’re hoping that translates into a better relationship to the fans and our corporate partners. Guys with letters also have a fairly astute hockey IQ. These guys are someone in an organization that a coach had invested a fair amount of faith and trust in.” Knight said the idea is to ask “leaders to lead leaders, and we’re hoping that translates to a real honest effort on the ice.” Forward Shawn McBride, a gritty forward and local product who played his first full season with the club last year, tasted success in the Grizzlies’ run to the league championship semifinals. Heading into his 19-year-old year, he expects to be counted upon for his own brand of leadership along with the newcomers. “Definitely it’s good to have a lot of guys who have worn a letter in the past,” he said. “They’re good people, hard-working. I definitely

Victoria Grizzlies forward Shawn McBride tries to get away from an Alberni Valley Bulldogs defenceman during the B.C. Hockey League playoffs this spring. McBride will be among the players counted on by new coach Brad Knight for leadership this coming season. expect to be one of the leaders this year and want to step into that role more.” Leadership in junior hockey is more by committee, he said, as opposed to having one or two

players carrying that load. Last year’s playoff experience was invaluable, McBride said, in how it gave players the opportunity to face challenges and overcome them together.

“It’s still a sore sport talking about how close we were,” he said. “A lot of guys will be anxious to come back and avenge that.” Knight admires the way the Grizzlies got stronger through the

playoffs. “The team had a great year last year. They got some good bounces and some things that really went well. Plus there was consensus how important certain roles were on the hockey club.” He plans to use four lines and three defensive pairings and make full use of role players throughout the lineup. “We’re enlisting guys who understand what it takes. That’ll make us deeper and more competitive when it really counts.” He pointed to the Los Angeles Kings’ Mike Richards as a talented player and one-time high scorer who understood his role as a fourth-line centre on the Stanley Cup champions. “He bought in. That type of player is who you need to win. We went out and got ourselves 12 Mike Richardses.” The Grizzlies are also looking to create even more of a following on the West Shore, with both fans and business leaders, by getting more involved in community events and initiatives. Corporate and community support is what has allowed the club to develop players for the next levels, Knight said, and the team wants to make sure the community understands how grateful it is for that support. On that front, he joked, “We think we’ve got a pretty great road hockey team and we’re happy to prove that if someone wants to put together a game (for charity).” To inquire about partnerships with the Grizzlies, call Knight at 250-385-1555. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Who are those captains the Grizz signed? New faces on the Victoria Grizzlies next season who have worn a letter recently include Upper Canada College co-captains P.J. Conlon and Justin Saddler. Saddler is a 6-3, 195pound defenceman while Conlon is a gritty 5-11, 179-pound forward. Also signed is graduated Lake Forest Academy (Ill.) captain Cody van Lierop, a six-foot defenceman and Ontario native who had 32 points

and 103 penalty minutes in the U.S. Midwest Prep League last season. Recruit Quinn Thompson captained the Vancouver Northwest Giants to the B.C. Major Midget league title last season and a spot in the Pacific Regional finals. St. Andrews College alum Matt Kennedy wore an ‘A’ with his team, which won three titles last year, including the Midwest Prep League.

Colwood golfer tops among area golfers at B.C. Amateur Carrigan posts a strong finish A final round 71 pulled Kevin Carrigan of Royal Colwood Golf Club into a tie for seventh at the B.C. Amateur Men’s Championship in North Vancouver. Carrigan’s even-par outing Friday at the Seymour Golf and Country Cub was an improvement over his previous two rounds (75, 73), but was one stroke off his best of 70 in the first round, after which he sat tied for third. His 289 total left him five shots back of co-leaders Jordan Lu of Vancouver’s Marine Drive and Michael Belle of the Vancouver Golf Club. Lu won the title in a five-hole playoff against Belle. Carrigan carded four birdies on the front nine, along with three bogies, then played the back nine in 1-over, his only blemish a bogey on the par-4 16th hole. Other scores from West Shore club golfers playing all four rounds at the tournament: Dylan Bell, Colwood, 296 (tie, 20th); Brady Stead, Colwood, 305 (tie, 41st), Brock Holland, Olympic View, 306 (tie, 44th); Matthew Broughton, Colwood, 309 (tie, 52nd); Alex Cartwright, Olympic View, 312 (tie, 64th); Sean Hay, Colwood, 320 (74th). editor@goldstream gazette.com

THE TERRY FOX RUN FOR CANCER RESEARCH

Young team plays a lot of ball on final day of provincial tournament in Richmond Don Descoteau News staff

Heat exhaustion spelled the end of the Victoria Devils 2002-03 team’s run at a provincial under-12 girls ‘A’ softball crown in Richmond. The View Royal-based squad had advanced to the loser’s bracket final with a thrilling extra-innings win over the Ridge Meadows 2002s. Playing the Tri City Titans immediately following the

game, the Devils were forced to call the game in the fifth inning with three girls already pulled due to heat exhaustion and more faltering. “The decision to call the game was in the best interest of the girls,” said Devils team manager Vicki Gschiel. “It was a sad way to end what was a really amazing weekend of ball.” Despite the default the Devils, who led the Titans after two innings, still wound up with the bronze medal. After posting a 3-1 record in round robin play – their only loss was 10-9 to eventual champion White Rock Renegades 2002s – the Devils opened the playoffs with a 7-6 loss to the Surrey Storm 2002s. Victoria rebounded with an 8-3 win over the Delta Heat 2002s then faced a

tough Ridge Meadows team. The see-saw game saw the teams tied at 6-6 after seven innings and forced to play international rules, with a runner starting on second base. After the mainland team scored twice in the top of the eighth, the Devils’ Hannah Unwin slammed a triple to knock in two runs and was thrown out at the plate making a head first dive for the winning run. Ridge Meadows got one run back in the top of the ninth, but a Rachel Gschiel triple knotted the score again in the bottom half. Megan Eilertsen knocked her in for the final run in the walk-off win. Pitcher Chelsea Musgrave went the distance for the Devils in the victory. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Olympic View hole-in-one pays off in various ways Don Descoteau News staff

Be Septic Savvy This Summer TIP THREE

IT’S YOUR SEPTIC SYSTEM. YOU NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT’S AT.

Learn where all your septic system components are located and mark them for easy access. Keep a file with all locations and make maintenance records. During a renovation, ensure you don’t build on top of your system components.

Stay informed. A bylaw is in effect in Saanich, Colwood, Langford & View Royal, stay informed about the requirements for your septic system.

Get your Septic Savvy Household Info Kit at your municipal hall or visit crd.bc.ca/septic for more tips and resources, or to register for a free workshop. Call 250.360.3030 for more information.

A hole-in-one scored at Olympic View Golf Club during the recent Base Commander’s Tournament managed to create a three-way benefit. Jim Utterson nailed the ace with an eight-iron on the 157yard 11th hole, setting in motion a chain of events that define community support. Through an insurance policy typically taken out for such promotions, Utterson won $10,000 for his perfect shot. His drive sailed high and dove straight into the cup without first bouncing on the green. “I’ve hit the stick (in the air) many a time, but never had that happen,” said the Victoria Shipyards worker, for whom the ace was his third ever. “The spotter got up and didn’t say a word. When she realized what happened she threw her hands in the air.” Last week in the golf course lounge, Utterson received his cheque. The View Royal resident promptly turned over a $1,000 personal cheque to Gaynor Jackson of the CFB Esquimalt’s charity of choice, the Military Family Resource Centre.

MaryLynn McKenna, left, executive director of the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House Society; Ken Langdon, sales and events manager for Olympic View Golf Club; golfer James Utterson and Gaynor Jackson with the Military Family Resource Centre exchange cheques in a joint presentation. And as part of the insurance policy, a $2,000 donation was passed along to Mary Lynn McKenna, executive director of Utterson’s charity of choice, the Esquimalt Neighbourhood House. McKenna said the money would go toward upgrading her facility’s playground area, a project currently in the planning stages. Utterson said workers at the shipyard are familiar with the

work Esquimalt Neighbourhood House does, and it made sense to help them out. Jackson said her organization would use the donation to help provide casual respite child care for families where a serving member is on a mission away from home. Through a partnership with the neighbourhood house, that care often is facilitated at their location. editor@goldstreamgazette.com
