David Morrell, a professional driver for decades, said his job operating the Langford trolley around the city is his favourite one yet.
Crossing Langford by trolley the way to go Friendly service the hallmark of this trolley driver’s job Arnold Lim News staff
One by one, tiny hands drop a loony into the fare box. Westshore Town Centre is the first stop for Langford’s trolley, and driver David
Morrell is smiling as pre-school students wave their golden coins in the air, gingerly climbing the trolley steps, dropping their coins and listening to the clink as their donations rattle into the fare box. “What more can you ask for? It’s a pleasure to come to work every day,” the longtime public transit driver said. “This is perfect. This is a typical day to start off with 20 little ones and they all love the trolley. Driving a trolley is like being in a parade.”
Morrell has experienced life behind the wheel for decades, driving a school bus, transit bus, a cab and a limousine, but the Langford resident says his hometown’s trolley is special. “Every place that I worked at, it was basically a fee-for-service model … and that is okay, but here they have taken out the fee and you can pay whatever you can afford,” he said. “That just leaves the service (to the community). The 38-seat trolley, featuring wooden

benches inside and painted on the outside in the unique green and red of traditional trolleys, is funded primarily through sponsorships and advertising, with a portion collected through the donation fares.

Arson suspects arrested after brush fires Two people photographed leaving the scene Arnold Lim News staff
Two youths have been arrested in connection to a pair of suspicious brush fires near Fort Rodd Hill. Alert witnesses photographed two individuals hurriedly leaving
the site of a fire along Ocean Boulevard just after noon July 31. “We located the two youths, who were subjects of interest, and they were arrested and we anticipate forwarding charges,” said Const. Joanne Harrisson of the West Shore RCMP. Colwood Fire Department, alerted to a blaze at 12:13 p.m., arrived at the scene to find a 12-by21-metre fire burning through the brush. One of the fire vehicles was sent into Belmont Park to cut off
the fire, when firefighters discovered a second fire, approximately 15-by-18 metres, burning more than a kilometre away. Both were deemed suspicious, said Colwood assistant fire chief John Cassidy, adding the second fire wasn’t sparked by the first. “There was no natural cause to be found,” he said. “There was no lightning, no natural causes, or light reflecting off a bottle or lensing from glass and no unattended camp fires.”
Fortunately there were no injuries or damage to property or structures, Cassidy said, but it could have been worse if the public hadn’t alerted them immediately and firefighters hadn’t responded so quickly. At its peak approximately 18 firefighters from Colwood and View Royal were fighting the blaze. “A quick and aggressive fire attack for containment and extinguishment made the difference in both of these fires,” Cassidy said.
“There were some key factors that came together … it had the potential of taking off and being hard to bring under control.” The province has imposed a burning ban on all Crown land and unincorporated areas, while most municipalities have also imposed their own burning bans. The two youths, both under the age of 18 are residents of Greater Victoria. alim@vicnews.com
Construction workers start work on a new water park and playground to replace the old playground at Veteran’s Memorial Park on the Corner of Goldstream ave. and Veteran’s Memorial Parkway. Arnold Lim/News staff
Water park No. 5 is underway in Langford Another opportunity to beat the heat should be available in September Arnold Lim News staff
People looking to cool off from the heat of summer may have another place to do so in Langford by month’s end. Construction on a new water park and playground is underway in Veteran’s Memorial Park that, when completed, will bring
to five the total number in the municipality. Other water parks were built at Glen Lake and Langford Lake earlier this year, at Centennial Park in 2013 and in the City Centre Park development in 2011. “Mayor and council thought it would be nice to offer more recreation facilities,” said Mike Leskiw, Langford manager of parks and recreation. “(This gives) our kids another recreation avenue, so when it is hot outside they can run through the water park.” The swing set previously on site will be relocated to a new park, while a truck that was there has been installed at Tommy Gordon Park.
“Some of the lakes are very busy and if you can’t go to a lake, you can go to a park in your neighbourhood and enjoy the water,” Leskiw said. “I think that the community will see more recreation opportunities that extend the use of the park through the summer and winter months.” Phase one of the project, scheduled for end-of-August completion, is the spray park. It will feature interactive loops and spray heads where children can press a button to turn on various programmed water features. Phase two is a playground including an adventure climbing structure, among other equipment.
“Dwight served as a home as well as a school for me, providing a place to feel comfortable and challenged. During my time there, I was given opportunities to grow as a student, leader and person.” - Katie, alumnus from Sooke, BC Students like Katie excel at Dwight, where we offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum - recognized worldwide as the gold standard” in pre-university preparation.

“I just think it is a really nice gem in the centre core, used by people coming into Langford and all residents in the downtown area,” Leskiw said. “It’s nice to see Langford is doing more in parks and see children play in community parks.” The city has budgeted $100,000 for the project this year and another $100,000 next year. If there are efficiency savings to be had by completing both phases of the project simultaneously, the entire project could be completed this year, Leskiw said. alim@vicnews.com

Early childhood educator Iris Twidale, who accompanied the preschoolers onto the trolley, said it is not just about going from point A to point B. “We do field trips throughout the summer and we decided we were going to do a trolley bus ride. The kids look forward to it every year,” she said. “Some kids were there bright and early at daycare at 7 a.m. They didn’t even have breakfast, (they were) so excited to get to the trolley bus ride.” She said not only do her preschool students enjoy it, her own children appreciate the inexpensive community service and personality that drivers including Morrell provide. Morrell is one of two trolley drivers employed

by the city. A Belmont secondary alumnus who went to high school with Langford Mayor Stew Young, he said the trolley is a great metaphor for the humble beginnings of the city. Providing a service that helps anyone and everyone, regardless of their situation, financial or otherwise, is a job he is proud to be involved with. “I actually chased after this job for three years before I got it. What makes it great is the people. You have a much, much more intimate relationship with the riders than I ever did in transit,” he said. “The city of Langford has directed me to provide service … It is all about service.” For more information on the free trolley service visit cityoflangford.ca alim@vicnews.com

Langford resident Kevin Lintern was in View Royal recently and managed to get a great angle on the new Craigflower Bridge. Shooting without a flash using only the street lights as illumination, he was able to capture a very flattering image of the span linking View Royal and Saanich. “Even though the new Craigflower Bridge is small, its design has some beautiful lines,” Lintern wrote. “I love the fact the designers decided to light it up – makes for good photos.” If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with fellow readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help. Every Wednesday, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution
fil here please
.jpg copy to editor@goldstreamgazette.com. Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be
received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper. Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!

New businesses locate around the West Shore
Cranking up the drive-thru Double ordering points enhance service at pair of McDonald’s Don Descoteau News staff
Upon walking in, one finds a relatively small restaurant, albeit a stylish one. The McDonald’s off Millstream Road in north Langford may well be a modest-sized eatery in terms of seating. But when it comes to doing business, especially via the drive-thru, this hidden gem hits a home run among its 16 peers spread around Greater Victoria. “On average we have about a thousand cars a day coming through,” says Rhonda Glowasky, general manager of this location and the one inside the Langford Walmart store. As if that statistic isn’t enough to raise the visitor’s eyebrows, she proudly tosses out an equally impressive one: “Our average service time from order to driving away is 128 seconds.” With its drive-thru accounting for roughly 75 per cent of its sales volume, this outlet ranks number 1 on the Island for McDonald’s in that category, and maybe even tops in B.C., says Aaron Chisholm, operations supervisor for five area McDonald’s stores owned by franchisee Ken Taylor. “In this day and age you have
Don Descoteau/News staff
Aaron Chisholm, operations supervisor, and Rhonda Glowasky, general manager of Langford McDonald’s restaurants, stand near the Millstream location’s dual order point drive-thru. to be able to deliver a quick and fresh product,” Chisholm says. As a way to upgrade its service and address the continuing trend toward drive-thru over walk-in traffic, the Langford restaurant installed a new dual order point drive-thru in May. It allows more vehicles to move through the process, and while they merge into one lane, the overall amount of time spent in line is reduced, Chisholm says. “We’re aware of the anti-idling (concerns), but we find there’s far less stop-and-go traffic this way.” he says. The new system has increased its Island-leading numbers by about 100 cars a day, Glowasky says. “Quality and speed and their top two motivators,” she says of drive-thru customers. “They choose us because they know we’re fast.” The Colwood McDonald’s on Island Highway more recently installed the dual system and has lowered its average service time to 145 seconds. The hope is to increase its usage as well, Chisholm says, but that outlet has a different dynamic than Langford, with a higher percentage of people going inside for service – the PlayPlace is an attraction for families, he says. For the Langford location, opened in 2001 before Mill-
stream Village was constructed, the expanded drive-thru area was part of a complete update of the facilities. They hosted a grand reopening July 25 and 26 and unveiled new, comfortable seating, tasteful wood and granite accents and special touch-play screens for the kids, among other features. The weekend events saw the store record its biggest single-day sales to date, says Chisholm, a 20-year McDonald’s veteran who helped open this restaurant. For Glowasky, who has been with McDonald’s 21 years and worked at 10 different restaurants, including eight in Greater Victoria, the renovations were the fourth she’s gone through as a manager. “I remember the banks of plastic flowers that were put up at Pandora (Avenue McDonald’s),” she says, sitting at a large booth. “Now we have rock and glass and tile, we’ve got WiFi, with plug-ins. It’s almost an Internet cafe type of thing.” She points out that the relatively quiet Thursday morning crowd this day is rather different than the more hectic weekend atmosphere, when customers zip in, often between activities. Then again, the majority of those people are in their cars. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW
Negotiations merry-go-round Driving or walking past Sooke Teachers Association members picketing in front of West Shore schools, a number of emotions may arise. One might feel frustration that the dispute has gone on this long and only now are the two sides restarting negotiations (Aug. 8 to be exact). Or one may feel sorry for teachers for whom strike pay is non-existent and a relaxing summer has evaporated. Then there’s those who begrudge teachers for asking not just for help in the classroom, but more money to boot. It seems both sides in this never-ending dispute have been prone to getting their backs up whenever criticism is leveled at them. That’s only natural, we suppose, but at what point do those people who are affected by this dispute throw up our hands and say, enough? Maybe many of us have already. That said, there is hope that this next round of negotiations will produce an agreement. It won’t be perfect and both sides have to accept that. Respectful bargaining is about compromise and the teachers and province must be willing to do that, maybe to the point of cutting their losses for the sake of moving forward. The government, however, as in previous contract disputes with the B.C. Teachers Federation, has the upper financial hand here. Not only does it have far more ability to outlast teachers who aren’t getting paid – think about how much money is being saved – the recent announcement that families will receive $40 per day for every child 12 or under is a sign the province is gearing up for an extended strike. Even school support staff are getting paid regardless if they refuse to cross a picket line – a point CUPE negotiated for its members. That seems like someone pouring salt in the teachers’ wounds. Fairness and reasonableness in any disagreement, be it a labour negotiation or an angry divorce, is whatever each party perceives it to be. We hope both sides can take a deep breath, put their best offers forward and put this sorry summer behind them. What do you think?

have a winery or cidery, but not a brewery or distillery. Expect that to change, as B.C. and other provinces strive to develop their craft beer and spirits industry, trying to emulate the tourism benefits that have come from an expanding wine industry. One area where the B.C. government has screwed up is its minimum pricing rules, introduced along with the overdue move to allow “happy hour” discounts in pubs. The minimum price of 25 cents an ounce for beer, 60 cents an ounce for wine and $3 an ounce for hard liquor was an effort to balance business-friendly policy with legitimate public health concern about over-consumption. But the minimum beer price prompted protests from a few watering holes that had been selling pints or jugs of beer for slightly less. Some media made a big deal of this, and the government over-reacted to this tempest in a beer stein with an ill-thought-out cut in the minimum price to 20 cents an ounce – for beer in jugs only. The pub industry was not impressed with this bit of kneejerk populism. Encouraging beer jug sales makes it difficult to see if someone at a table of revelers is being over-served, drinking most of the jug themselves.

Colwood’s Marge Emery, 75, shows off some of the jewelry she makes, just one of the many hobbies that keep her busy these days.
A so-far full life may get busier yet Colwood super volunteer is fishing for new pursuits Angela Cowan News Staff
From creating a haven for mason bees and koi, to crafting unique jewelry and still volunteering for Emergency Social Services, 75-year-old Marge Emery hasn’t slowed down one bit. Her backyard is abuzz with more than a dozen beehives nailed along the fence. Mason bees are excellent pollinators for fruit trees and flowers, she says, and the abundant blossoms in her back yard seem to prove her right. “I’m trying to encourage people to raise native bees,” Emery says, who also sells the houses. Diving into other natural pursuits, she recently took up fishing and loves it. “I had a 25-pound salmon on the line, but I couldn’t bring it in.” The near-catch made her more determined to bring in the next one. Emery has never shied away from taking on new things. She learned to skate the year the Juan de Fuca arena opened and was an original member of the Juan de Fuca skating club, established in 1972. In the late ’90s, she became one of the first female installers with Shaw Cable, a fascinating experience, she says. “I met the most interesting people, and then I ended up teaching seniors how to use their computers.” Her most consuming passion over the last few years, she says, is making beaded jewelry. “A friend and I paid $10 and took a class to learn how to make earrings. We learned how to make necklaces and then we started ordering from the States.” A loft-type upstairs with two adjoining rooms is her sacred space in her home. “This is my area. I don’t let anybody else come up here.” Boxes of multi-coloured beads fill shelves flanking a work table covered with jewelry in various stages of completion. She holds up a series of her newest project: fishing lure
earrings. She makes two varieties: one with bendable jewelry wire, the other with actual fishing hooks, thankfully barbless and dull. Emery is finally taking some time for herself these days, though most of her life has been dedicated to volunteer work, starting with St. John Ambulance as a teenager. After her four children were born, she began helping out in schools. “I’d help children read or sit with the ones with learning disabilities.” She was heavily involved with her children’s sports teams, boy scouts and figure skating, and says she’s taught countless children how to swim through the years. Working as a bookkeeper for most of her life, she’s also offered work experience and mentoring to a lot of adults to pass on her skills and help them get started in a career. Emery has volunteered with ESS for nearly 20 years, is still an active member and was a founding member of the South Island Pets Team, a sort of animal emergency service created two years ago. Though she says she is immensely proud of her many years of volunteer work, it’s not her proudest accomplishment. What is? “Raising four children,” she says with a laugh. “I had three in diapers at one point.” With those four grown and eight grandchildren, Emery has settled comfortably into her status of family matriarch. She doesn’t spend time in the classroom anymore, but still gives of her time regularly. An original member of the Juan de Fuca arts and crafts guild, she teaches people how to make crafts, and still does a bit of bookkeeping and mentoring. With all that activity, Emery still has many things she wants to do. “Write a family history, I want to bring in a 25-pound fish, go to Australia.” Whatever comes around the corner, Emery has the positive attitude to meet it with enthusiasm. “I enjoy every day,” she says. “There’s something good in every day.” acowan@goldsreamgazette.com

India Fest (Mela) Centennial Square
City Hall Downtown
Bigger and Better 5th Annual Mela celebrates Indian culture, music, dance & food. Head to Centennial Square to take in music, dance, fashion and food Aug. 8 to 10, 2014 This year the Mela is two and a half days of free events and performances celebrating the richness and diversity of India’s arts and culture. More than eight thousand visitors and spectators enjoy the Mela every year and they are thrilled every year by the modern and traditional performances including Bollywood music, internationally renowned Bhangra dances, fashion, palmistry, the art of henna and more, not to mention mouth-watering, Indian cuisine prepared with authentic and aromatic spices! And as Victoria’s premier multicultural event, performers include the internationally renowned Chinese Lotus Dancers, powerful Japanese Taiko Drummers, beautiful Polynesian Dancers and exotic Middle Eastern Dancers—and much more. Presented by the 36-year-old India Canada Cultural Association “Mela” means “fair” in the Indian language. “A Mela is an ageold celebration of life in India and it is an opportunity to share the richness of Indian arts & culture, create community partnerships and demonstrate a healthy way of life,” said Gordy Dodd, President of the Association. Here in Victoria, Mela is a way to continue those traditions, and share and celebrate with the greater Victoria community. “In growing up in India we had places we could go to see and participate in Melas, where people gathered to learn about one another, share food and enjoy art and music. Now we have those places less and less and they are much needed here in
Victoria,” explained Mr. Sehmi, an IndoCanadian Elder. Part of the Mela’s success is its ability to create cultural pride & bridge generations as well as cultures. “I love to go on the decorated stage in my beautiful clothes and show people watching how I have learned to dance. It makes me feel proud and good when they clap and I think that they like what I am sharing with them,” said one young Bhangra performer. While in the square enjoying the many performances, be sure to leave time to enjoy delicious Indian treats, lunch or dinner. A full menu of Indian foods, prepared in the authentic way, is available at the colourful & numerous food booths, including butter chicken, naan, vegetable curries, rice, pakoras, samosas, papadam, plus a chai and sweets booth and a barbecued Indian delicacies booth. Browse and learn from the cultural kiosks offering Indian arts, clothes, Rajasthani jewellery, henna hand decorations or learn about your future from the ancient art of palm reading. Take a look at the ICCA’s powerful Echoes of Courage: Komagata Maru 1914-2014 display that offers a look at how far Canada has come in a hundred years in becoming one of the most multi-cultural nations in the world. Various themed performances, from classical to modern, are offered from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Friday and two full days of performances, with local and internation-
ally known artists and entertainment, are planned Aug. 9 (from 11 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.) and Aug. 10 (from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.). For more information, visit www.iccavictoria.com or e-mail Mela co-ordinators Sunil Bhatia @ ssrr4@shaw.ca or Sabba Sall @ sallsabba@ hotmail.ca

West Shore players help baseball Eagles soar 50% OFF on regular price
Bright baseball futures may lay ahead for nine year olds
HUNTER DOUGLAS Designer Screen Shades
Jennifer Blyth Special to the Gazette
With the goal of a provincial baseball title in their sights, two talented young West Shore players have been proving their mettle on a regionwide all-star squad. Triangle players Julian Cull and Ryder Green are part of the Victoria Red Eagles Mosquito ‘A’ baseball team, composed of the best nine-yearold players from across Greater Victoria Baseball Association’s member parks. After winning the Vancouver Island Championship July 26 and 27, the Eagles hosted the Mosquito A provincial championships last weekend at Sidney’s Rotary Park, after the News Gazette went to press due to holiday deadlines. After completing their spring seasons with their local associations, Julian, Ryder and their teammates came together as the Eagles to work toward the goal of a B.C. championship. The team previously won Kelowna’s Valley of Champions tournament July 11 to 13. “Both Julian and Ryder have been key contributors to the success of this team that has had a terrific summer season on the field,” says head coach Dave Swinton. The team recently went 5-0 at the prestigious Valley of Champions tournament in Kelowna, and both boys picked up a game most valuable player award for their efforts. The Red Eagles followed that up with an impressive Vancouver Island championship, with both boys playing key roles in the three victories required to secure the gold medal. Ryder, entering Grade 5 at Eagle View elementary in View Royal, has had innings in the outfield and shortstop, but says he especially enjoys the challenge of pitching, all the more remarkable given this is his first year playing baseball. “I like being competitive and having fun with all my teammates,” Ryder says. His coaches appreciate Ryder’s versatility. “He has been asked to play several positions and has done well in any spot I have put him. In addition, he has a real knack for getting on base, which is huge for us,” Swinton says. Julian, entering Grade 5 at Happy Valley elementary in Langford, has smacked two home runs this season, in addition to successful innings in centrefield, catching and on the mound. “Julian has led the team in hitting right from the beginning of the summer season. He has such a mature swing that I’m not sure I have ever seen a hitter this accomplished at his age. He’s hitting the ball as hard as players three and four years older,” Swinton says. At the start of what may well be a long and successful baseball career, how long does Julian anticipate playing? “Hopefully until the MLB!” he says. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Tolerance to bright light If you wear glasses or contact lenses and have a low tolerance to bright light, you may want to consider getting properly prescribed sunglasses for your vision comfort. Your eyebrows, eyelids, and iris, which is the coloured part of the eye, offer some protection from sunlight and glare, but if bright or glaring light bothers your eyes, you may need the added protection of sunglasses. Certain occupations such as outside work or driving may benefit from sunglass protection. Sunlight provides the light we need to see objects clearly, but it also emits two invisible forms of radiation, ultraviolet and infrared rays. A low tolerance to bright light or over-exposure to the rays of the sun may cause minor eye irritation while prolonged exposure may cause more serious problems. You want to be able to see clearly and comfortably no matter what the light conditions and you also want to protect your eyes. Ask your eye doctor as to which sunglass is the most appropriate for you.

aid for day-to-day living. While this is not uncommon, Tyler is required to remove his hearing aid for both practice and game days, making it impossible for him to give and receive game communication the way the majority of athletes do. This means Tyler must rely 100 per cent on sense for the snap, the plays and communication with his team and coaches. He is living proof that football is not merely a game of juice, brawn and intensity, but a sport requiring heart, instinct and intuition. After a tough opening loss, the brothers expect to crank up the intensity for subsequent games. Kara Duke is a volunteer with the Westshore Rebels junior football club.
