Langford resident Joe Brooks polishes up his replica of a 1965 AC Cobra in his garage. Brooks will be one of many muscle car owners whose rides will be on display this Sunday at the annual Langford Show and Shine in the 700 block of Goldstream Ave. Don Descoteau/News staff
Muscle car project is a labour of love Langford Show and Shine takes over Goldstream Avenue on Sunday Don Descoteau News staff
The low-slung glossy black roadster rumbles as Joe Brooks backs it out of his garage in Langford. His replica of the Carroll Shelbydesigned 1965 Ford AC Cobra turns heads, and not just for the throaty sound it makes as it rolls down the road. “Everybody stops and looks and wants to talk to you if you’re parked,” says Brooks, who by day is public works operations man-
ager for the District of Oak Bay. “They want to take pictures – it’s a huge eye-catcher.” This kit car, built from the ground up and completed in June 2013, won the People’s Choice award at last year’s Langford Show and Shine. Brooks expects it to be popular with visitors again when he lines it up next to dozens of other pre-1976 classic and muscle cars at this year’s show on Sunday (Aug. 17). “There’s a lot of beautiful cars out there that guys have done some amazing things on. The quality and workmanship is incredible,” he says. “The Cobra would be in a different category than an original manufactured vehicle.” Brooks was an automotive and heavy duty mechanic for 30 years
before joining Oak Bay’s ranks. He was never one to drive or build a custom car, he says, but as the years went by he had a “bit of an itching for the (Cobra).” While the plans laid out what he needed to assemble the car, there were many options for customizing it to his own tastes and budget. “When I was building it, it didn’t matter what part I was putting on it, there was a more expensive part that was available,” he says. The motor is a 302 cubic inch, 365-horsepower Ford, and the car is equipped with a high-performance, five-speed Tremec manual transmission. He put disc brakes all the way around, a more modern luxury the original Cobra didn’t have, but stuck with the manual rack-and-pinion steering.
It took Brooks about two years to finish the project. He faced a “huge learning curve” despite his extensive automotive background, he says. “It’s all new to me, compared to some of these guys who have spent 20, 30 years or more working with custom cars.” Entering his pride and joy in the summer car shows, such as last Sunday’s Blethering Place show on Oak Bay Avenue, gives him a great chance to compare notes with the experts, Brooks adds. “It’s great to be meeting all these guys with a lot of hot rod knowledge.” Vintage car buff and Langford Mayor Stew Young will bring his 1964 Chevy Impala to the event. He says the Show and Shine provides a great boost to the city.
“It showcases downtown Langford and this is a great spot for it,” Young says. “The atmosphere is really kind of cool and the downtown lends itself well to the cars.” Many people come back year after year to the event, he says, both car enthusiasts and those who simply like to admire the restoration and customization work of others. “We always get great comments from it and the public around Langford and the area always appreciate the people who bring their vehicles down.” The Langford Show and Shine happens Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the 700-block of Goldstream Ave. Vehicle registration begins at 8 a.m. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Drive-thru burglary nets prescription drugs
GERMAN AUTO IMPORT NETWORK PROUDLY PRESENTS THE
VANCOUVER ISLAND
After apparently using a vehicle to push open the doors at the Millstream Village Pharmasave, thieves made off with a collection of prescription drugs in the early morning hours Thursday. West Shore RCMP responded to an alarm from the Langford store at 4:30 a.m. Evidence indicated that someone gained forceful entrance through the doors and sought out the pharmacy, where prescription medications were kept. A variety of drugs were taken. An immediate search failed to locate any suspects, according to detachment spokesperson Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “We are very concerned that the prescription drugs stolen in this break-in are going to be used by individuals without seeking proper medical guidance,” she said. Anyone with information on the location of the stolen medications, or the break-in, is asked to call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264 or Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS(8477). editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Joseph White and Elizabeth Johnston of Colwood have been criminally charged in the abuse and neglect of their pit bull mix, Bryn, and were scheduled to appear at a court hearing that day.
Protesters hoped to make a statement Pair up on animal cruelty charges absent from court Angela Cowan News Staff
Animal lovers waving signs declaring “Justice 4 Bryn!” and “Speak up for those that cannot!” stood on the sidewalk outside the Western Communities courthouse Thursday. More inside waited for Joseph Jansen White and Elizabeth Sandee Johnston of Colwood to appear for an arraignment hearing on crimi-
nal animal abuse charges. The pair have been criminally charged with abandonment or wilful neglect of an animal and failing to provide suitable and adequate food, water, shelter and care for it. White is additionally charged with wilfully causing unnecessary pain or suffering or injury to an animal. Bryn, a pit bull mix aged approximately seven, was brought in to the Victoria SPCA on April 2 with severe injuries including a broken front leg, broken teeth, significant bruising on her abdomen and severe lacerations on her head that required suturing. The dog was also experiencing
neurological deficits impacting the use of her back legs, leaving the animal unable to stand or walk on her own. Annie Prittie Bell, branch manager of the Victoria SPCA, said the dog needed substantial care, including two dental surgeries. White failed to appear for the Aug. 7 hearing and it was rescheduled to Aug. 14. If he fails to appear at that hearing, an application for a warrant will be processed. Johnston had an agent representing her in court and her hearing was put over to Aug. 21. A woman involved in the protest, who chose not to give her name

over personal safety concerns, has been following the case from the beginning, and started a movement on Facebook to show the courts there are people willing to stand up against animal abuse, she said. “I felt compelled to do something. There’s a lot of people against this.” Despite the injuries and neglect, the dog seems to have experienced a happy ending, said Prittie Bell. “She is doing amazing. She’s walking really well and most things are healing well,” she said. “And she actually just got adopted into her forever home.” acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood court hears man plead guilty to various charges RCMP investigation is ongoing in the suspicious death case involving Michael McCormick’s mother Angela Cowan News Staff
Michael James McCormick of Sooke will remain in custody and serve an additional 63 days. The sentence, handed down in Western Communities Provincial Court in Colwood on Thursday, followed his guilty plea for one count of uttering threats, one count of uttering threats to cause
death or bodily harm and two counts of breach of probation. McCormick, 36, was arrested on July 20 for uttering threats, the same day RCMP discovered the body of his mother, Pamella Dyer, in her home on the 2200 block of French Rd. in Sooke. Her death has been ruled as suspicious and is still under investigation. McCormick has been on probation for previous convictions since
Aug. 15, 2013. Since then, he has been convicted on six separate charges – including this week’s result – for assault, breach of probation, uttering threats and failure to keep the peace. Crown counsel Steve Salmond recommended a sentence of 90 days for the threats uttered and 30 days for the breach of probation, to “reflect the seriousness of (McCormick’s) criminal history.”
Defence lawyer Tom Morino made reference to McCormick’s history of substance abuse and mental health issues. He recommended McCormick receive credit for time served. McCormick had been in custody for 18 days prior to the hearing. Judge Anthony Palmer agreed with Crown and sentenced McCormick to 90 days for the uttered threats, and 30 days for breach of
probation, to be served concurrently. McCormick was given credit for time served and will remain in jail for 63 days. He is banned from owning any firearms, explosive devices or other weapons for 10 years and Palmer recommended that he provide a sample for the national DNA registry. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

The Rotary Club of West Shore’s 10th annual Chili Cook Off is set to simmer over lunchtime on Aug. 23. More than 15 local organizations and corporate teams will prepare at least five gallons of chili each to try and win over the public and gain the coveted People’s Choice award. Attendees who purchase a $7 voting card get a sampling of each entry and a say in who wins the trophy. Chili submissions are also part of a blind competition for Best Judged Chili, where judges give marks for aroma, consistency, taste and aftertaste. Cooks will also be rated on booth decoration, costumes, showmanship. Each team is supplied with an ‘Official Bribe Envelope’ and they’re encouraged to slip the judges a little something extra during the judging process. This will be the second year the Best Showmanship award is presented. Proceeds from the event go to the Rotary Club of West Shore and the many local projects they support. The cook off will be held at Millstream Village shopping centre, 2401 Millstream Rd., from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 23. To register a team or become a sponsor, visit westshorerotary. org or call Jenn Raappana at 250-8932204. acowan@goldstream gazette.com

Westshore Warriors dragon boaters Bob Mitchell, left, and Barton Dennis are all smiles before a recent workout on Victoria’s Upper Harbour. They’re part of a team that originated from staff and family members from West Shore Parks and Recreation.

Dragon boat crew works hard, but also enjoys a good time Westshore Warriors a tightknit group on and off the water Jennifer Blyth Special to the Gazette
With paddles slicing the water as one, the Westshore Warriors are working hard to best last year’s eighth-place, platinum finish at the Victoria Dragonboat Festival. Of course, out of 80 teams, eighth place was pretty good! But when the final race is done, no matter what the outcome, expect plenty of smiles and laughter from this group. Originally drawn from West Shore Parks and Recreation staff and their families, the mixed Warriors team today welcomes members from all over the community, at all experience levels. The common factor is a will to work hard on the water, and share a laugh or two after, agree long-time teammates Bob Mitchell and Barton Dennis. “On the water, we paddle hard and off the water, we have fun,” Mitchell says. Under the expert guidance of coach Jennifer Loo, who brings to the team 16 years of paddling experience, the Warriors practice twice a week from mid-April
to mid-September at the Fairway Gorge Paddling Club and compete in several festivals throughout the season. “They’re a cohesive team and a great group of people,” says Loo, also a long-time Victoria Dragon Boat Festival volunteer. “I work them quite hard, but they seem to enjoy it and they like to have fun. They seem to thrive on my tough workouts. They never complain and they have a really good sense of humour.” The Victoria festival, set for Aug. 15 to 17, is next on the competition calendar. Designed to bring people together through dragon boating, the popular celebration of Asian sports and culture fills the Inner Harbour with thrilling competition, inspiring stories, food and entertainment, with close to 80,000 people expected to take part as participants, volunteers and spectators. Also competing will be Loo’s Westshore Warriors women’s team, entering the festival for the first year with paddlers of all ages and experience levels. The Warriors’ philosophy is one of hard work and competitiveness, but also inclusion. “We want everybody and anybody – that’s why we have a coach,” Mitchell says with a laugh. Paddlers on the mixed boat range from age 25 to 65 and include both newcomers and
long-time paddlers, but all come together under the common goals. “We take our racing seriously, but we don’t take ourselves too seriously,” Dennis says. As for this year’s Victoria festival? “We’re bringing our A game,” Mitchell says. “We always do!” adds Dennis. “As long as we feel we’ve done well in the boat, and as long as we did better at the end of the year (than at the beginning), it’s been a success.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com
Community leaders to be honoured
The Victoria Dragon Boat Festival Society’s 20th anniversary gala tonight (August 13) will see three community leaders receiving lifetime memberships to the society. The recipients are: Don Yuen, founder of Fairway Market; Mel Cooper, president of Melco Management; and Captain Cedric Steele of the Royal Canadian Navy. The recipients were chosen based on their support, either personal or financial, of the Dragon Boat Festival and the dragon boat community over the past 20 years.

OUR VIEW
BCTF will be pushed to settle The provincial government is quite predictably getting some flak from the B.C. Teachers Federation and the NDP over a plan to pay parents $40 per day per 12-under child for each school day missed in September – if the BCTF strike is not settled by then. While the move is certainly political, it does recognize the fact that parents are hit hard by the teachers’ strike, through extra daycare and other costs. The government saves a boatload of money – $12 million a day – as a result of the strike. It is not unreasonable to share some of those savings with those who are paying extra money in day-to-day expenses, as a result of this strike. It also should serve as a reminder to BCTF members that there will be no paycheques in September if the strike isn’t settled by then. Finance Minister Mike de Jong is right that it would do little good to legislate teachers back to work. That tactic has been used far too often in the past. There needs to be an actual agreement between the two sides, for their own good and for the good of students and parents. The bargaining system involving the two is in terrible shape, but hard negotiations could result in an agreement — if there is some genuine willingness on the part of both sides to do so. Teachers who are caught up in this dispute will have to carefully consider their actions over the next month or so. Many are already feeling the financial squeeze. Several weeks out of work in September will really hurt, particularly as they are not getting strike pay. Will they put pressure on the union to try and settle? The government holds almost all the cards. It will face no political pressure of any consequence, with an election three years away. Settlements with other unions will eventually force the BCTF to toe the line. The question is, how long will it take? And will kids pay the price again by losing instruction time this fall?

There are proposals to bypass the Agricultural Land Commission for certain kinds of farmland subdivision in zone two. These are where the subdivided parcels are a quarter section (160 acres) or bigger, or where they are divided by a road or waterway. And finally there are proposed exemptions from ALC scrutiny of leases, to allow “intergenerational transfer,” so retiring farmers don’t have to plead for state permission to remain on their own property. Another exemption would “encourage the use of otherwise unfarmed land by existing or new farmers.” NDP agriculture critic Lana Popham, who circulated a photo of herself with a samurai sword in a theatrical “Kill Bill 24” campaign, continues to insist that these changes open up 90 per cent of ALR land for “development.” It’s a hypocritical as well as a misleading statement, since a portion of her own Saanich farm property is rented to a successful craft gin distillery.

Cycle of Hope evokes emotional moments Gazette reporter Arnold Lim and West Shore residents Heather MacFayden and Andy Harward are among 12 riders on the Cycle of Hope ride for ALS from Kamloops to Keremeos, which is scheduled to wind up today. Lim is blogging about his experience on the ride.
Arnold Lim News staff
Karen McGinn’s speech is almost a whisper. Amyotropic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has already claimed much of the Kelowna woman’s speech, the strength in her hands and the ability to walk on her own. The mother of three young children said she knows it won’t be much longer before the disease finally claims her. “It is so hard because the disease, it takes so much,” she said. “I wish it would take my mind, because that is the hard part, going through each day, knowing what is coming.” The formerly active bike rider, wakeboarder, skier and boater can longer do many of the things she loves. Now she sits and watches her family do the things she once did, waiting for this deadly motor-neuron disease that affects 2,500 to 3,000 Canadians every year to run its course. “One of the big things is losing your independence. I gave up my drivers license a year ago and that was tough,” she said. “Getting around in the house, showering, all that stuff – everything is getting harder. I am only 42.” The rapid progression has taken a toll on her family as well, including eight-year-old daughter Kaitlyn, six-year-old twins Emily and Tyson and her husband, Lance, who collapsed to the floor when the neurologist first delivered the news that would change their lives forever. “I wouldn’t wish this on anybody. It was a blow, a serious blow,” he said. “We left the hospital and sat on the bench and we just cried. Anybody in our

I kind of knew, but when it is confirmed, it’s very hard. You worry about your kids and worry about what’s ahead.” Lance said he would take the disease on himself if it would cure his wife. He can’t, so instead he rides, purchasing a bike to join family friend Corinne Boback on the ALS Cycle of Hope Kelowna community rides (Aug.10), raising money for research to battle the incurable disease. “I am riding to bring awareness so that maybe someday people won’t have to go through what we are going through. But selfishly, I am riding it for Karen, because she can’t and she will never be able to,” he said between tears. “Maybe someday, hopefully there will be a
cure or something so they don’t have to go through what we are going through.” Karen will be there to cheer her husband make his first ride on the bike, spending as much time with her family as she can before what she called the inevitable. “You know, you get married and you think you’ll spend your time together, raise your kids, retire and travel… To know that is not going to happen is hard,” she said. “It’s important to make memories (now) because I don’t know how long I have. That way (my family and friends) have something to remember.” Find out more about the ride and read other blogs by Arnold Lim at cycleofhope.ca/blog-postday-1-arnold-lim/. alim@vicnews.com

Perhaps the Goldstream News Gazette would consider counteracting its negative cartoons regarding Prime Minister Harper by making a cartoon of Justin Trudeau as prime minister, making a definite decision on legalizing marijuana while the economy, etc., takes care of itself. Canadians could all get high on pot. We wouldn’t really notice or care about such trivial matters. Mary Patterson Colwood

Be Septic Savvy This Summer TIP SIX
PLEASE KEEP OFF THE GRASS.
It’s important to make sure your drainfield is left as undisturbed as possible. To protect your septic drainfield, a layer of grass is the best cover. Mow it to keep weeds down and leave it undisturbed. No parking, driving or building on it. And divert downspouts away from the drainfield to avoid saturation.
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.

Opportunistic Rebels get monkey off their back Rebels return home with first W under their belt Don Descoteau News staff
Getting out to a good start for the first time this season made all the difference for the Westshore Rebels. The Rebels posted their first win of the young B.C. Football Conference season, beating the Valley Huskers 28-14 at Exhibition Stadium in Chilliwack on Saturday to improve to 1-2 on the year. After shutting down the home squad on three straight series to open the game, the Rebels caught a break when middle linebacker Chris Pastro blocked a Huskers field goal attempt later in the first quarter. Alert defensive back Jake Hauge snapped up the loose ball and ran it back for a touchdown. The huge turnover and being able to dictate the play defensively gave the team a momentum boost, said Rebels head coach Andrew Axhorn, who was on the sidelines for the first time this season. “That was majorly important, it was all about that … minimizing mistakes and playing the way we wanted,” he said. “The last two games we
got killed the first quarter.” Westshore quarterback Hunter Lake recorded his first three touchdown passes of the season, two of which went to Griffin Dear in the fourth quarter, for 14 and 15 yards as the Rebels took a 28-7 lead. The first TD pass came after the Huskers tied it up in the second quarter. Lake hit Jordan Rodinsky for a 15-yard score and the Rebels went into the dressing room with a 14-7 lead. The Rebels suffered a serious loss in the second quarter, when Pastro went down with what was believed to be a rib injury. He was taken to hospital for treatment and will not play this Saturday at home against the Langley Rams. The team will miss Pastro’s leadership and work ethic on the field, Axhorn said, adding he has no worries about the team’s linebacker corps. Tyler Leader, who was all over the field making plays against the Huskers, will move from the outside position to the middle, while rookie Calvin Johnson will likely move up from defensive back to join starting linebackers Brandon Nelms and Rob Mar. This Saturday’s home game against 2013 league playoff runner-up Langley Rams represents the Rebels’ “hardest game of the season” so far, Axhorn said.
“A lot of things are going to have to come together for us” to have a chance of beating the perennial BCFC powerhouse, he admitted. “We’re going to have to reload this week, go over some film and see what we can do to limit their attack,” he said. “If we can hang with them for that first quarter, anything can happen.” While Pastro’s onfield leadership will be absent this

Cosmetic Advantages Many people choose to wear contact lenses instead of their glasses for the cosmetic advantage. They fit closely to your eyes so that few people notice that you are wearing corrective lenses. However, this is just one of several advantages of wearing contact lenses. Contacts permit a wider field of vision than eyeglasses. There is no frame to get in your line of sight when you look to the left, right, up or down. The close fit presents a less distorted and more realistic view of the world around us. A tendency to allow for more efficient eye coordination is still another advantage, particularly in sports. They do require more conscientious care than glasses, because they must be kept clean, free of irritants and harmful bacteria. If you think you would like to wear contacts, ask your Optometrist if he or she would recommend them for you..

Unit celebrates 30 years of intensive infant care
Island Health hosting annual ‘preemie’ reunion Angela Cowan News Staff
Family members, hospital staff and ‘graduates’ of Victoria General Hospital’s Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will get a chance to reconnect tomorrow
(Aug. 14) at the 30th annual reunion. “The nurses love to see how the kids have grown from their rough start to these flourishing kids,” said Sarah Plank, Island Health media relations manager. “It’s pretty special.” As well as children, the event usually draws teenagers and even adults who were cared for at the unit, said Plank, who has attended the past few reunions. “We had a nurse a couple years
ago who had been in the (unit as a baby). And now she was working (there).” Since it opened 30 years ago, approximately 18,000 babies have gone through the intensive care unit, receiving specialized medical care and round-the-clock nursing. The reunion, sponsored by the Victoria Hospital Foundation, runs from 10 a.m. to noon at the Jeneece Place Patio at VGH. acowangoldstreamgazette.com

10 years ago -- Terasen provides Langford with a solution to handle all aspects of the city’s sewer system. Mayor Stew Young said the proposed deal, which will cost every household $3,680 a year for five years, would allow Langford to install infrastructure more quickly, free up staff time and see the municipality rack up less debt for individual projects. Also making news in August 2004: More than 100 pot plants are seized from a Langford home where three children are living, and Robbie Haslam captures his third Sportsman’s series main event victory of the season at Western Speedway. 20 years ago -- A Colwood woman’s address and phone number are listed on hate literature circulating in Victoria for a Holocaust denial group with links to the Ku Klux Klan. Her information was posted below a purported photo of a distant relative of her husband who lives in Prince George. That man claimed no responsibility for the pamphlets, but admits he wrote an essay at age 12 or 13 based on an article he read that denied the Holocaust and portrayed Adolph Hitler in a positive light. Also making news in August 1994: Water bombers are brought in to quell a brush fire on Skirt Mountain, and Highlands Mayor Bob MacMinn allows between 30 and 50 anti-logging protesters from the Rainforest Action Group to camp on his land, after they get booted off property beside the Pat Bay Highway. 35 years ago -- A local forest ranger warns that cigarettes are the biggest hazard to preventing fires during the hot, dry summer season. He suggests that smokers wait until they reach a safe area before lighting up to help avoid the potential for starting a grass or brush fire. He also points the finger at people using backyard incinerators, saying they should be covered at all times to prevent fly ash from escaping and landing on dry, flammable material. Also making news in August 1969: Langford’s Bob O’Hara serves as midwife as his wife, June, gives birth to a baby boy, Dean Bradley O’Hara, in the early morning hours, and Davianne Young wins the Wishart Trophy riding ‘Cricket’ at the 20th annual Colwood Trail Riders gymkhana.
