The Langford Fire Department is celebrating the retirement of deputy fire chief Kerry Zado, Sept. 12 at the Royal Canadian Legion.
Fundraising chief all about community Angela Cowan News Gazette staff
Langford deputy fire chief Kerry Zado is retiring after 25 years of service, but that doesn’t mean he’s leaving the fire hall for good. Zado plans to stay involved in public education and fundraising for Muscular Dystrophy Canada, two causes that have been close to his heart for years, and his efforts have not gone unnoticed. “I can honestly say there are few people who are as passionate about their work as Kerry has been,” said fire chief Bob Beckett, who’s served 20 of his 38 years with Zado. “He’s done an admirable job in keeping our community safe and educating the community, especially the children.” Zado’s commitment to fundraising also stands out for Beckett, who said Zado has been a money maker for Muscular Dystrophy Canada. According to Alyssa Goad, manager of revenue development for the BC/Yukon

People would come in from other municiment. “He was very good at taking newer people palities. People who’d moved away would under his wing,” said Caven. “Kerry always come back to their parents’ (houses).” For his part, Zado remembers how had that sense of humour to bring to those difficult situations. He always knew when to thrilled the neighbourhood kids were that Santa knew their names. “There’s one spebe serious too.” Inspector Chris Aubrey, who will be cial needs girl that I still see every year who stepping into Zado’s shoes, said Zado has just thinks it’s so neat that Santa knows who always gone the extra mile for the com- she is,” said Zado.
Last Christmas was the first he took off to spend with his new granddaughter, and to let someone younger take up the role. “I actually went down to the corner and watched the truck go by,” he said. Is he looking forward to retirement? “It’s bittersweet. I’m going to miss the routine, I’m going to miss the people. I’m certainly going to miss the variety in my job. But there’s going to be variety in my life,” he said, adding he’s looking forward to spending more time with his family. To celebrate Zado’s many years of service and congratulate him on his well-deserved retirement, the crew at Langford fire hall is hosting a party in Zado’s honour Sept. 12 at the Royal Canadian Legion at 761 Station Ave. The event runs from 4 to 8 p.m. and is open to anyone who wants to come and give Zado well wishes. “It’s such a small token of our appreciation for all the years and hours he’s put in,” said Aubrey. “It’s time for someone to make a fuss over him.” acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Kaitlyn Foulds of ICE Hockey and Fitness holds up an automated external defibrillator (AED) they applied to have installed into their facility. The AED is part of a federally funded $10 million Heart and Stroke Foundation initiative to put 2,000 of the life-saving devices in hockey arena’s and community recreation centres across Canada.
News staff
Already a mainstay of most ice arenas in the area, automated external defibrillators are now popping up at additional facilities, including recreation centres, as the Heart and Stroke Foundation continues its campaign to install 2,000 of the lifesaving devices across the country. The initiative started in 2011 when the federal government announced a $10 million plan for AED placement over four years. AEDs are electronic devices used to restart a person’s heart that has stopped beating. They are safe, easy to use, and can be operated effectively by the public. CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation) can help restore blood flow to someone suffering cardiac arrest for a short time until advanced medical care arrives.
“Up to 40,000 cardiac arrests occur each year in Canada – that is about one every 12 minutes,” says David Sculthorpe, CEO of the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada. “On average only five per cent of people who experience a cardiac arrest survive. With increased public access to AEDs and early access to CPR, the lives of thousands of Canadians could be saved every year.” Most cardiac arrests occur in homes and public places, and many are witnessed by a family member, co-worker or friend. Performing CPR and using an AED before emergency medical services arrive can increase the chance of survival by 75 per cent. “This wouldn’t be possible without the support of governments and private donors,” Sculthorpesaid. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

We all must see tax value A Fraser Institute study was released last week, showing the share of Canadians’ income going towards governments at all levels has risen from 33.5 per cent in 1961 to 41.8 per cent in 2013. It’s important to put the study into context. The Fraser Institute is a think tank which believes in smaller government, and has steadfastly engaged in many studies over the years to debunk “big government.” Some of those studies have been quite useful, others not so much. The institute also participates in the worldwide “Tax Freedom Day” event, which marks the day when people begin to work for themselves each year, as opposed to the taxman. This year, the date in Canada was June 9. All that said, there is no question that some of the money paid in taxes is not well-spent. While abuses by politicians like Alison Redford or Mike Duffy get the headlines, there are many programs in government of limited or almost no use. One B.C. example is the carbon tax rebate to large corporations, paid by school districts and hospitals with tax dollars. However, as the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (the polar opposite to the Fraser Institute) notes, it’s very difficult to compare 1961 to 2014. Governments provide medicare now – there was little spending on health care in 1961. That’s where a lot of tax dollars go. There are also many more government programs that redistribute funds to lowerincome Canadians, including the GST credit and the carbon tax credit in B.C. Governments certainly have room to cut. A focus on how much taxes we pay as a percentage of income is useful, because taxpayers need to consider whether we get full value for the money we spend each year.

slurry aren’t the best way to manage mining waste. Although there’s no silver-bullet solution, and more research funding on alternative technologies is needed, smaller underground mines are finding safer ways to deal with waste by backfilling tailings. Drying tailings or turning them to a paste before containment are two other options. Safer solutions cost more, making them less popular with profit-focused corporations. But surely B.C.’s $8-billion mining industry can afford to pay more for public and environmental safety. The government allows the mining industry to choose the cheapest way to deal with waste, and companies often lack adequate insurance to cover cleanup costs when accidents happen. Imperial Metals admits its insurance will likely fall far short of what’s required to repair the damage at Mount Polley. The mining industry and provincial and federal governments must do a better job of managing risks. But how can this
happen when we’re facing unprecedented dismantling of Canada’s environmental regulations and decreased funding for monitoring and enforcement? The Mount Polley tailings spill threatens two of B.C.’s most valued resources: salmon and water. As one of the largest sockeye runs enters the waterways to spawn, we must wait to find out the long-term repercussions for Polley Lake, Quesnel Lake and aquatic life further downstream. This disaster has eroded public trust in the mining industry and regulations governing it. If risks are too high and long-term solutions unavailable or too expensive, the only way to ensure that toxic tailings are kept out of our precious waterways and pristine landscapes may be to avoid mining in some areas altogether. As the government rallying cry of “world-class safety standards” echoes in our ears, it’s time we lived up to our self-proclaimed reputation. Learn more at www. davidsuzuki.org.

ICBC seeks rate hike Distracted driving cited as injury claims rise Jeff Nagel Black Press
Advertisement
ICBC is blaming the use of smart phones, saying distracted drivers are part of its newest request for a 5.2 per cent increase in basic auto insurance rates. The public auto insurer said the rate hike would cost the average customer an extra $40 per year if approved by the B.C. Utilities Commission, a little over $3 per month. The hike will kick in on Nov. 1 on an interim basis while the BCUC reviews the application. A previous 5.2 per cent rate hike that took effect in 2013-14 ( .3 per cent higher than ICBC had requested) means drivers will soon be paying 10.4 per cent more than they did in 2012 for basic cover-

ICBC says distracted driving causes 88 fatal incidents per year and is the leading cause of rear-end collisions. age. ICBC blamed the latest increase on a continued rise in injury claims costs paid to crash victims for pain and suffering, future care and lost wages. Bodily injury claims hit $1.9 billion in 2013, up $73 million from 2012 and by more than $500 million from five years earlier. Legal and medical costs are also up.
Drivers’ rapidly growing use of cellphones and other personal electronic devices behind the wheel is one of the factors ICBC cited for the rise in injury claims. Distracted driving is the second leading cause of fatal car crashes in B.C. – killing 88 people a year – and is the leading cause of rear-end crashes that often cause inju-

ries, spokesman Adam Grossman said. A new campaign against distracted driving is to roll out in September. Grossman was unable to provide details justifying why basic rates should be 10.4 per cent higher than 2012 when the injury claim cost increase from 2012 to 2013 was only four per cent. The full rate hike application is to be filed Friday. Consumers Association of Canada president Bruce Cran said it continues a pattern of steeper increases in basic rates on which ICBC has a monopoly but more restraint on optional coverage rates where it must compete. He also took aim at the provincial government’s continued raiding of ICBC coffers for general revenue. The province has budgeted to pull $200 million from ICBC this year, $155 million next year and $125 million in 2016, down from $237 million in 2013 and $576 million in 2010. Cran said he doesn’t “give a damn” about ICBC and government claims that the yearly dividends to the province come only from the optional side and don’t affect basic rates. “We see it as one corporation,” he said. “As long as they’re stealing our money by the million by transferring it into government revenues, no matter which division they claim it from, we are being gouged as a public.” Cran called it a stealth tax on people who drive: “absolutely disgraceful.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

JumpShip lands on Bear Mountain
Cycling event a party for fans Travis Paterson & Christine van Reeuwyk News staff
JumpShip is returning with a big leap forward, landing on the slopes of Bear Mountain Resort. The spectator friendly freeriding competition, which features elite athletes pulling daredevil bike jumps on a circuitous race track, is coming to the West Shore the weekend of Oct. 3 to 5. JumpShip debuted on a barge in the Inner Harbour in 2011 and ran successfully again in 2012 but a lack of funds in 2013 forced the event’s organizers, the Dockside Mountain Bike Society, to put JumpShip on hold. For those two years it was the rock and roll darling of the Victoria International Cycling Festival, drawing hundreds to its massive spectator beer garden, live music and interactive events. “The opportunity to partner with Ecoasis at Bear Mountain elevates the freerider experience and the profile of our sport,” said organizer Derek Kidd. “To host JumpShip 2014 at Bear Mountain this fall is extremely exciting for our athletes, our sponsors and our fans.” Originally slated for earlier this month, the mountain biking and outdoor lifestyle festival has previously been held in Victoria’s Inner Harbour as part of the Victoria International Cycling Festival. The invitation-only event draws pro and up-and-coming freeriders (think BMX meets mountain biking) from around the world. More than 20 local and national riders will compete for more than $6,000 in prize money.
Sharon Tiffin/News staff
A 2012 JumpShip rider in the Inner Harbour. Riders will leave behind the downtown scenery for a background of oceans and evergreens. “With Ecoasis at the helm at Bear Mountain, this opportunity to cultivate a destination competitive freeriding event on southern Vancouver Island has great potential,” said Hugh MacDonald, executive director of the not-for-profit SportHost Victoria. “We now have a desirable resort destination with ownership that views the geography and natural setting of its unique location as critical assets to the growth of sustainable recreation opportunities – golf, tennis and now mountain biking.”
Jordie Lunn has been behind JumpShip since the beginning and will design the course again, just as he helped design its legendary course circuit contained on a barge. His course will see riders getting 25 feet of air over cart paths with gaps of up to 40 feet before crossing the finish line just in front of the Westin Bear Mountain. Spectator areas will be included in the course design. “A mountain resort destination and partner like Bear Mountain ups the game for the sport of freeriding on Vancouver Island,” said Lunn. “It’s a fan-friendly venue with natural mountain topography – a perfect place to build a world-class course.” Lunn was raised on Vancouver Island and spent time living in Langford and riding unsanctioned trails that predated the modern-day Bear Mountain, back when a forest company owned the land. “Bikes in the sky while golfers play through below, it’s kind of surreal,” said Lunn. “Bear Mountain is well positioned on the West Shore to support the leadership efforts of SportHost Victoria and its partners in the development of young and seasoned athletes and destination sporting events,” said Dan Matthews, managing partner and founder of Ecoasis Developments, who purchased Bear Mountain last October. “Mountain biking is a natural fit for us given our unique proximity to the park trail systems. … Our goal is to be a beautiful and healthy place to live, and a recognized centre for golf, tennis and biking.” - With files from Christine van Reeuwyk editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Strike camps filling up Goldstream Nature House offering extended day camps Arnold Lim News staff
School is scheduled to start on Tuesday, and there’s a chance that could happen. But with the teachers strike still in need of resolve, many parents have gone ahead and booked their school-age children into day camps and day care. Several of the region’s recreation centres are extending summer camps programming. However, some parents may be scrambling to find a camp when Sept. 2 rolls around. “Parents are calling all the time but (our strike camps) are full,” said West Shore Parks and Recreation’s recreation co-ordinator Karen Frost. “We have a couple of spots here and there but other than that we don’t have any more space.” Despite having prepared for the possibility of the strike continuing into the school year by
scheduling three camps for children of all ages, the 85 spots up for grabs have already been snapped up. Frost said with the new fall programming coming there simply isn’t any more room to fit any more strike programming. With the uncertainty of when the strike may end, devoting more time and resources may be more than most recreation centres are willing to risk. “It’s a bit challenging. You put all this staff and put together program plans and supplies but you don’t know if on Monday or Tuesday you will need it,” she said. “Are you gonna need it for two weeks or two months? It is the uncertainty that is really challenging.” Bre Robinson, park naturalist at the Goldstream Nature House said their strike programming still has room. It focuses on nature, insect exploration, hiking, owl-pellet dissection and gold panning.
“(Parents) are holding off waiting to see what happens before committing to sign kids up to (our) day camp. We are finding that right across the district.” Robinson also said some parents are cautiously waiting before committing to the $40-aday camp, which is incidentally the same amount the government will be offering parents of children under the age of 13 for each school day cancelled by the strike. Frost said the situation has been challenging for everyone involved and will continue to be until the school restarts. “I can’t imagine it is easy for (parents). It is a financially challenging... and a hardship on a lot of the parents,” she said. “I can’t speak for them but I can imagine it is a fairly frustrating and worrisome summer. It can be a difficult time putting kids into care so I imagine it is challenging for a lot of people.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

The year-long pilot will evaluate the possibility of offering testing permanently in some pharmacies. Medicine Shoppe pharmacy in Nanaimo began offering tests earlier this month while the other Victoria location, at 104-1964 Fort St., is set to launch their program at the end of the month. “The best way to ensure early diagnosis of HIV is to make testing as easy as possible,” said Dr. Brendan Carr, president and CEO of Island Health. “By removing the barriers to taking an HIV test – especially by offering testing in places where people already encounter the health care system – we can reduce the stigma associated with HIV.” The pilot is being funded through the province’s pioneering Seek and Treat for the Optimal Prevention (STOP) of HIV/AIDS program – an initiative focused on increasing the reach of HIV prevention, testing and care to residents of B.C. Increased reach of HIV testing is a key pillar of STOP HIV/AIDS. The provincial program encourages routine HIV testing to ensure early links to care, treatment and support. The initiative aims to improve the health of those living with HIV and prevent further infections. editor@vicnews.com

Five student worthy cars under ten grand By Bob McHugh
Finding five used cars under ten grand doesn’t sound like too big a challenge, until a “for a college student” stipulation is added. In my mind, this adds a few requirements as the car has to be, easy on fuel, reliable, easy to park, good on gas, thrives on abuse, room for friends, room for a bike and camping gear, super fuel efficient ... and look good! So, bearing in mind the last requirement is a highly subjective one and ignoring the (no brainer) most popular car in Canada (Honda Civic), here are five vehicle suggestions – in no particular order:
Pontiac Vibe (2010 or older): Although the Pontiac Vibe looks different, you also know this compact 4-door hatchback as the Toyota Matrix. A joint (GM/Toyota) production venture ended with the 2010 model year, as did the Pontiac brand. The resale value of a Vibe is generally lower than a same year/condition Matrix, or conversely, you may be able to buy a newer/lower mileage Vibe. The ’09 Vibe was a second generation redesign and a slightly bigger model
that came in front-drive and all-wheeldrive editions, and in base and GT trim levels. The base engine is a gas-miser 1.8-litre (132 horsepower) and a 2.4-litre (158 horsepower) engine comes in the AWD and GT models. Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.0/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/AWD): 10.3/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway)
Honda Fit (2010 or older): The Honda Fit is a small, but taller, 4-door hatchback that was introduced for the 2007 model year and came in DX, LX and Sport trim levels. Its seats can be reconfigured in an amazing variety of ways and there’s even a couch/bed recliner position. The 2009 model was a second generation redesign with a more powerful 117 horsepower (up from 109-horsepower) 1.5-litre engine that’s mated to either a five-speed manual transmission or optional five-speed automatic. In the Sport edition, this automatic also comes with paddle shift gear selection at the steering wheel. Fuel consumption (1.5L/FWD): 7.1/5.5 L/100 km (city/highway)
Jeep Patriot (2010 or older): The Patriot could also be called “Jeep Light”, as it’s an affordable, compact yet capable SUV/wagon that’s surprisingly fuel-efficient. Available in both frontdrive and four-wheel-drive configurations, Jeep launched Patriot for the 2007 model year and it’s a good match of an active lifestyle young person that enjoys the outdoors. Patriot came in Sport, North and Limited trim levels and the base engine is a 2.0-litre that can produce 158-horsepower and 2.4-litre that can produce 172 horsepower is the upgrade. The transmissions offered were a 5-speed manual transmission or a fuel-efficient CVT (continuously variable transmission) automatic. If serious 4-wheeling is contemplated look for models with a trail-rated Freedom II off-road package that adds protective skid plates, etc. The downside is increased weight and higher fuel consumption.
Nissan Versa (2011 or older): The Nissan Versa may look small on the outside, but this four-door sedan or hatchback has an amazing amount of space on the inside. The extra head and leg room provided make it a very good match for a taller or bigger than average young person. Versa offers seating for four (squeeze five) full-sized adults and extra-large rear passenger doors also make getting in or out easier. The lower-priced sedan comes with a 1.6-litre (107-horsepower) engine and a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. The hatchback comes with a 1.8-litre (122-horsepower) engine and a 6-speed manual, 4-speed automatic or a CVT automatic. Prior to 2010, a base Versa didn’t come with ABS (anti-lock braking system), and electronic stability control wasn’t even offered as an option. Its electronic-assist steering has an extra-light feel and it can turn on a (10.4 m) dime, making Versa an easy vehicle to park. Fuel consumption (1.6L/FWD): 7.7/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway – 5 Manual) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 8.5/6.2 L/100 km (city/highway – 4 Automatic) Fuel consumption (1.8L/FWD): 7.3/5.8 L/100 km (city/highway - CVT)
Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.9/6.9 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.4L/4WD): 9.9/8.2 L/100 km (city/highway)
Mazda3 (2009 or older): The first generation Mazda3 (2004 to 2009) set a new performance standard in the economy car segment. Sold as a four-door sedan or a (sportier) five-door hatchback, the Mazda3 has been a huge sales success in Canada. The four-door sedan editions of this Mazda3 come with (148-horsepower) 2.0-litre engine and in GX and GS trim levels. Sedan GT and (hatchback) Mazda3 Sport come in GS and GT trim levels and with a (156-horsepower) 2.3-litre engine, with more torque at lower engine speeds. A height adjustable, good supporting driver’s seat plus a standard tilt and telescopic steering column make the Mazda3’s driving position particularly praiseworthy. It definitely offers the best driving experience, but popularity also makes Mazda3 the priciest pick of this group. Fuel consumption (2.0L/FWD): 8.4/6.1 L/100 km (city/highway) Fuel consumption (2.3L/FWD): 9.5/6.8 L/100 km (city/highway)
Reviewing the attributes of these car leads me to suggest there’s at least one suitable for anybody on a budget. bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

Taking the rocky mountain way To say the drive from Vancouver to Calgary offers scenic vistas galore would be an understatement. And the opportunity to drive it the all-new 2015 Volkswagen GTI made it still more irresistible an opportunity. Time constraints allowed only for the most direct route there; taking the Trans-Canada, the 3, the 5 and then again onto the Highway 1. Appreciating the incredible topographical features the Trans Canada has to offer is something I don’t always do. But with a passenger from Ontario ogling the scenery changes, it made me proud to live in such a spectacular place. Okay, I was a lot proud. Whether driving surrounded by lush, emerald vegetation, desert or engulfed in mountain, there was no shortage of ocular stimulation in our 360 view. Furthermore, the GTI is no sleeper either. In fact, it’s probably my favourite VW on the market. And it got a lot better for 2015. Now in its seventh generation, it’s lighter than Golf Mk6, bigger, more T:8.5” T:8.5” fuel efficient, more powerful, and just more awesome. For a starting T:8.5”

The GTI builds on its razor sharp handling, improves the suspension and allows the driver to still have a great time behind the wheel. Not to mention, the 6-speed manual gearbox – it also comes in a 6-speed DSG automatic – is as smooth in shifts as can be. Being stuck in city traffic isn’t ideal, but when you can rev the engine a little higher, wait to shift and breathe in the excitement of the turbocharged ponies, what more can you ask for? You could also ask for beautiful scenery. Check. Prior to Revelstoke, if you’re heading east, there’s 3 Valley Gap. It appears almost out of nowhere. Looking like a cross between a Swiss chalet – no, not the place where you get a quarter chicken dinner – and an establishment you might recall from a Stephen King novel, this building that has more than 200 rooms reflects effortlessly on the lake in front of it. With the mountains towering over, the heritage ghost town certainly has some, er, charm. However, the strongest charm in the drive comes from the GTI. You could even say it’s the grandfather, or the inspiration for the term “hot hatch.” It’s not only hot in appearance, but in personality. It’s a car that does everything and does it well. It’s quiet at highway speeds. It’s tame in traffic, but inspiring on the twisty roads. And even on the track. It can also be entertaining. With the promise of wildlife “for the next 3 km,” my driving partner and I eagerly anticipated the sighting of some sort of horned mammal. A mountain goat would do. We’d even be okay with a bear. But alas, no such luck. Not even with a jaunt through Banff National Park. That’s okay, the premium Fender audio system did a good job of distracting our melancholy thoughts from the lack of wildlife sightings to the musical stylings of rock and roll. The adventure was fun, the surroundings breathtaking, and then mixing it with a car that has the complete package? Now that’s a road trip to remember.

CAMPUS NISSAN Ford Transit Connects By Ian Harwood
The 2014 Ford Transit Connect is a multi-purpose cargo van that could be a great addition to any size of business.
Looks:
In The Cab:
The driver’s seat is manually adjustable (sixway) with built-in armrest while the passenger has a four-way manually adjustable seat. Just like most cargo vans of today, the cab has the features once reserved
Safety first:
Standard front and side air bags will keep you safe in the event of a collision. Fourwheel anti-lock brakes and a tire pressure-monitoring system are standard. For security, Ford has developed a locking latch shielded door lock system to help keep your contents safe.
Power:
This vehicle is powered by a Duratec 2.5 litre four cylinder, mated to a six speed select shift automatic transmission. It puts out 169 horsepower and 171 lb ft of torque. There is also a 1.6L EcoBoost I-4 engine available with 178 horsepower and 184 lb ft of torque. Continued on next page

YOUR HEALTH
President’s own story: 15 years ago I started to have arthritis, prostate, kidney, snoring and sleep apnea problems, which were all helped quickly with natural health products. I made it my life’s purpose to help others. Nick A. Jerch
ARTHRITIS
Helps to relieve joint pain associated with osteoarthritis. Guaranteed also for rheumatoid and sciatica, (My own affliction). Truthful actual experiences from real people: < For 40 years I had injections and drugs and finally Bell Shark Cartilage spared me the endless torture I suffered day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON <My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA<I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON<I suffered for years. I tried everything and finally after taking a specially processed shark cartilage I was pain free in 2 weeks. After this experience I realized I could help many of those 5 million Canadian that suffer every day and night and I started to sell this same type of shark cartilage and helped hundreds of thousands of men and women to #1 NPN 80042283 have less pain or no pain at all. Nick A. Jerch, President of Bell Lifestyle Products. <Many people on our website write: “Can walk again for hours”;”Can climb stairs without hanging on to railing”;”First time in 15 years can sleep at night” Rheumatoid arthritis in joints down 90%, same for my sister…hundreds of testimonials all with full names and towns. Shark bones/cartilage was a previously thrown away by-product of the food industry. No sharks are caught for their cartilage. Don’t let any activist confuse you.

A diuretic to help relieve mild urinary tract infections. True success stories by women: <Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 works within a day or two! My experience in the last 4 years is that whenever I feel symptoms of an infections I take two capsules for a day or two and the infection is gone. I love this product. Pat Pearce, 53, Brantford, ON < 30 years of bladder infections gone! For 30 years my doctor prescribed antibiotics. As soon as the medication finished the next bladder infection came back. After 2 days taking Bell # 31 I noticed a complete relief of my infection I had all these 30 years. God bless you all for helping all of us women. Emell Whitaker, 69, Bronx, NY< Bladder infections kept on coming back. Since starting Bell Bladder & Yeast Infection #31 my infection was gone and I now take it from time to time for prevention and I have no more bladder or yeast infections. I told family and friends how good Bell products are. Thank you! Maria Racz, 60, Vancouver, BC <Went to the bathroom 10 times in an hour and more frequently at night!. In the last 2 years I went a number of times to the doctor and got different antibiotics and none of them worked. My urination would burn enormously. I bought #31 NPN 80038535 your Bell Bladder & Yeast infection #31. I can now work all day or sleep all night without getting up to go to the bathroom.

Roadworthy:
While driving this Ford Transit Connect you feel like you’re driving a 2WD Ford Ranger. You’re able to manouevre around vehicles in tight parking lots and park in small parking spots, the only difference is you have a walk in cargo box on the back. This van would be perfect to convert into a special purpose van; it would be easy to add a wheel chair ramp or a lift without having to do too much modification.
Verdict:
All though this van has been available in the UK for many years, it has only been available in North American since 2011. The popularity of the Transit has increased substantially its introduction thanks to its versatility and size. It is here to stay.

ACNE
Works by cleaning blood from the inside, instead of attacking skin with creams or washes from the outside and leaving actual cause untreated. Actual Results. <After 1 week my severe acne became quite mild and after 2 weeks it had completely vanished. I suffered for 5 stressful years of having acne and extremely dry, irritated skin. Bell Help for Skin Disorders“saved my life”. My skin is now beautiful and you would never know I suffered from acne and other skin problems for years.

I live a healthy life, don’t smoke and don’t drink. People thought a reddish face comes from drinking. This is a myth. Will take it for the rest of my life when needed. Donald E. Gillespie, 56, Innisfil, ON PSORIASIS<I had severe psoriasis over 95% of my body. Last 5 years I have stunned every doctor and dermatologist. I spent tons of money on remedies. After I got Bell Help for Skin Disorders, I’ve never seen anything work as fast in my life. Within 2 days I saw my skin clearing up. I’m speechless. #60 NPN 80044199 It was inexpensive compared with what I spent before. Jessica Shantz, 25, Dawson Creek, BC ECZEMA For 6 years my family doctor and dermatologist tried many medications and creams.

Community Policing Office seeks volunteers
THROUGH TO THE END OF SEPTEMBER
Fall Registration
September 2nd & 3rd 4pm - 7pm
Angela Cowan News staff
Donna Ensor, volunteer coordinator for the RCMP’s Keep In Touch program, is looking for new recruits. The program, organized through the Community Policing Office, is designed for people who live alone or may have medical issues, and offers clients a daily phone call at a scheduled time to say hello and just check in. If volunteers can’t get through, they call the client’s chosen contact person, and if that fails, the detachment will send an officer to check things out. The service has already proven itself many times over, and on several occasions officers have arrived to find a client who has fallen, and were able to get them prompt medical attention. “It gives a great sense of security,” says Ensor. “Just a simple phone call can bring comfort,” adds Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz of the West Shore RCMP. “Imagine if you lived alone, and your phone never rang for days.” The Keep In Touch volunteers regularly have a chat with their clients as well, knowing that they could be the only interaction that client may have that day. And the KIT volunteers regularly go above and beyond for their clients as well, sending a

TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff
Volunteer coordinator Donna Ensor of the RCMP’s Keep In Touch program says the daily phone calls she and her volunteers make give their clients peace of mind.
“Just a simple phone call can bring comfort. Imagine if you lived alone, and your phone never rang for days.” - Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz, West Shore RCMP card if someone’s in the hospital, and taking a plant and chocolate goodie around to each client every Christmas. But it’s the annual tea that takes the cake. Each May, all the KIT clients are invited to what Rochlitz calls a “proper tea,” china cups and all, where RCMP in their red serge have the honour of serving. “When the clients come for
the KIT tea, they’re just beaming,” says Rochlitz, adding that the mounties in their full dress uniform seem to spark nearly as much excitement as a visit from the Queen. The program currently has 38 clients from all over the West Shore, and there’s always room for more, says Rochlitz. “I’d never say no to someone that was a good fit.” The RCMP is actively seeking more volunteers for the KIT program, as well as their Speedwatch program, which gets civilians out on roadsides with speed readers to remind drivers to slow down in high traffic or high crash zones. Those interested in becoming a volunteer can download the application form at rcmp-grc. gc.ca. or call 250-474-2264 for more information. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Much to eat, do at Fair The ferris wheel is always a Saanich Fair favourite. File photo
You don’t have to be a competitive eater to enjoy yourself at the Saanich Fair. But if your idea of fun is wolfing down a belly full of Spam for a chance at some very unique bragging rights, you’ll be in the right place at the Saanich Fairgrounds (1528 Stelly’s Cross Rd.) this weekend, Aug. 30 to Sept. 1. Beyond pie, cupcake, watermelon, ice cream, and yes, Spam eating contests, Western Canada’s longest running agricultural fair is home to three days of family fun, from the time the Highland Danc-
ers hit the stage at 9 a.m. on Saturday, until Boogaloo en Orbit closes the show down on Monday evening. Other performances include sets from Chilliwack, Rukus, Phoenix, The Tumblin Dice, Bucko & Toad, Bourbon County, David Cormier, Tristan Thompson and Cynthia Davis. Magician Jordano the Great and Dan the One-Man Band roam the fairgrounds while an enigmatic scarecrow contest is set to crop up. But with more than 500 volunteers working year-round to put on the event, you’ll have
to explore more of the fair to take in the full array of activities: horse shows, dog sports, star-gazing, master gardening, 4-H demos, donkey-leading, flower-arranging, swine showmanship – the list goes on. It also includes the midway, perhaps the most obvious attraction for kids – of all ages. The Saanich Fair opens at 8 a.m. daily and runs until 9 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 6 p.m. Monday. Admission is $7 to $11, with children six and under welcomed for free. Visit saanichfair.ca for more information.

The Highlands’ new community hall is in the “finishing stages.” The brand new 3600-square-foot multipurpose facility is almost ready to host weddings, parties and a multitude of other community events, just in time for the fall. “It is something the community has wanted for decades so it’s a long-term wish and something we saved for,” said mayor Jane Mendum. “This is a great (facility) that can grow and serve the community. It is wide open as to what can occur there. We are very much looking forward to the community coming to see it.” Mayor and council had a task force work on requirements for what the new building on Finlayson Arm Road would look like and the new one-storey hall will feature an entry foyer, stage, non-commercial kitchen, storage, ductless heat pumps, two electric vehicle charging stations, a green roof and a rain garden. The main assembly area will be approximately 1200 square feet. “This is going to be a larger space, we will have a venue that will hold more people we currently can,” the mayor continued. “We are limited to a max of 50 people and this will hold hold approximately 150 people.” Previous events were held at the school house at Caleb Pike Heritage Park and Mendum said the new $1.4-million facility is expected to be completed in the fall and was paid for without borrowing any money. “This can grow with the community in the future. We have a solid building built with flexibility... that will allow for a greater range of activity than we might have had.”

B.C. students are just days away from the scheduled start of a new school year but there’s little sign of a break in the teachers strike that has dragged on through the summer. The final week of summer holiday opened Sunday with a demand in Kamloops from B.C. Teachers Federation president Jim Iker for an immediate start to mediation. No formal bargaining dates were scheduled as of Wednesday night, but Iker, Education Minister Peter Fassbender and government negotiator Peter Cameron were to meet Wednesday afternoon
step into full mediation if it would be productive to do so. Both sides blame the other for a gulf between positions that’s too wide for Ready to attempt to bridge. The province says the teachers’ pay and benefits demands remain far in excess of settlements reached with other public sector unions. Teachers, meanwhile, accuse the government of insisting on preconditions to talks that would unravel the union’s past court victories over the province on the stripping of contract terms on class size and special needs support. The province is appealing the latest
in Victoria, raising hopes for some movement. Fassbender asked the teachers to voluntarily stand down and let classes start while the parties are in mediation. “I asked the BCTF and BCPSEA to suspend all strike or lockout activities for two weeks when (Vince) Ready starts mediation,” Fassbender said. Teachers have also stepped up picketing as both sides prepare for the strike to stretch into September. A mass rally outside the premier’s Vancouver cabinet offices is also set for Sept. 5. Veteran mediator Vince Ready is monitoring the talks and has indicated he will

court ruling against it. Also gaining prominence in recent days has been an opt-out clause that the government has tabled that would allow either side to terminate a new collective agreement if it dislikes the ultimate court outcome from either the B.C. Court of Appeal or the Supreme Court of Canada. An education ministry spokesman said he was surprised it has become an issue now. It was disclosed in mid-June by government negotiators who pitched it as a “pragmatic and creative” way to give the union comfort it wouldn’t be handed a massive defeat in court and could therefore shelve those issues and negotiate an interim agreement while the appeal proceeds. But a BCTF spokesman said it’s the province not teachers who want an escape hatch, adding it suggests the government fears it will lose in court again and is seeking to block that outcome. He credited BCTF members on Twitter for bringing the clause into public focus. The Liberal government has promised to pay parents $40 a day for each child under 13 who misses school if the strike continues. Various organizations and businesses are scaling up their day camp and other supervised care offerings for September in anticipation of a continued school shutdown. Fassbender on Monday reiterated the government’s position that it has no desire to legislate the teachers back to work. The lumpsum payouts to parents following the end of the strike will consume all of the $12 million a day in strike savings the government would have amassed going forward. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Q: HOW IMPORTANT IS LANDSCAPING IN BUILDING A STRONG FIRST IMPRESSION? Landscaping shouldn’t be upgraded unless something is incomplete, but the garden should be weeded and kept neat, rooms decluttered. Otherwise buyers could see a need for work, which distracts them from seeing the positives. As a buyer, what do I need to know about well landscaped yards? One tip is the type of trees. If you’re looking at a welltreed lot, be sure to check local bylaws and know what you’ll be limited to.

First time buyers should be realistic Asking the right questions vital for first time buyers Andrea Peacock News staff
Asking the right questions and being realistic about the ideal dream house are some things first-time home buyers need to be aware of, says local realtor Jeff Bryan. “First-time home buyers need to understand all costs associated with buying a house,” said Bryan, real estate agent with RE/MAX Camosun. Someone might get pre-approved for a $500,000 mortgage but might forget to factor in strata fees, for example. “They won’t think of those strata fees as part of their qualification process for getting a mortgage, but it is,” said Bryan. “You’re assuming you can buy for $500,000, but if there is a strata fee, you can’t understand all the costs associated.” Getting pre-approved for a mortgage is the first thing buyers should do before looking at listings, said Bryan. “A lot of times people will be surprised at what they’re actually qualified for, especially now with interest rates being at historic lows,” he said. “What people can qualify for is usually a very pleasant surprise.” However, being approved for a $500,000 house does not mean buyers should be looking to max out
Condos and townhouses make an ideal entry way into the West Shore real estate market. their budget. Bryan advises spending no more than 10 per cent under the approved amount. “You don’t want to be house poor,” said Bryan. “Yes you’re approved at that level, but that could mean Kraft Dinner and tuna for the next five years.” One mistake many first-time home buyers make is falling for a house in need of lots of repairs. “First-time buyers should be wary of the fixer-upper unless they are

qualified to do the work themselves, because that can turn into a real money pit,” he said. “All of a sudden you’re $100,000 in (debt), living in a crummy little house because you can’t afford to fix it up.” Another common mistake made by home buyers is not working with a real estate agent, even though it doesn’t cost them anything, said Bryan. Buyers do not need to pay realtors commission, unlike sellers.

“Realtors make it look like a simple process,” said Bryan. “But there’s lots of things the realtor does behind the scenes to protect the buyer.” Realtors may also help buyers find out about properties for sale before they become public. “We find out about listings a couple days before they go on the market,” said Bryan. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The official closing of Metchosin school house 1949. Jumbo, a bossy Shetland pony well known to Metchosinites, stands on the left of the photo. Museum ar president Wendy Mitchell recalls growing up with Jumbo, her family pony. Jumbo lived into the 1960’s when she was finally put down due to extreme old age and buried under an oak tree. Jumbo could open any gate and was the boss of all the draft horses in Metchosin during the 1940s. Metchosin Museum Society archive
Metchosin musings Metchosin school house full of history By Wendy Mitchell Special to the News Gazette
The Metchosin Museum is settled on a corner of the school grounds on Happy Valley Road, though it’s long removed from where it was first erected, on an acre of land donated by John Witty in 1871. The single room structure was the first school to open after B.C. joined the Confederation in 1872, one of 12 in the province. Today, the schoolhouse-turned-museum overflows with a rich collection of photographs, clothing and books documenting the pioneer families of Metchosin. Some of the museum’s dedicated volunteers are descendants of the area’s pioneer families. It’s filled with the artifacts from two centuries ink pots and scratch pens, writing slates and compositions, a deterrent strap and school bell. To this day the tiny desks reveal carvings, no doubt made in mischief by the restless scholars of day’s past. Other treasures include household objects such as sewing supplies, first aid needs, shaving equipment, kitchen tools and dishes, sporting goods, saddles and a branding iron. The building has been moved at least three times, and closed just as many. The photograph above is of the official closing ceremony in 1949, except the schoolhouse had originally been decommissioned in 1915, when a new school was built. And yet the schoolhouse served as an overflow class room until 1954; the original portable school room. At the 1954 closing ceremony were Bob
Witty and Thomas Helgesen. Both had been students of the school and were sons of the original Board of Trustees. Mrs. Stephenson was also present, another student of the and the daughter of the first teacher. George Pears was contracted to build the school for $300, the funding for which came from the Colony of BC, the local residents and $100 from Governor James Douglas’ personal money. Teacher Elizabeth Fisher led the first class, seven boys and three girls. Purportedly, she was paid $55 per month and lived in a tiny shed attached to the back of the school. That amount seems a princely sum compared to Miss Godson’s $30 cash for six months of teaching in 1906 and Mr. Mardle’s $25 for five months of teaching in 1907. And teaching was merely one of the many duties to run the school; these ladies hauled water from the pump, kept the fireplace and wood stoves burning, and performed daily cleaning and maintenance. A look at the minutes from the 1904 school board show expenses for a new door mat of $1.50, wood for $12, cleaning for $3 and, over the winter, three new brooms at $.50 each. Expenses for the 1904-05 school year totalled $39.95 leaving a balance of $.85. Today the school is open 1:30-4:30 p.m. on Saturdays and 11 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Sundays until October. Across the street the Pioneer Barn is open Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Visit our Pioneer Barn book store and support the Museum by catching up on your reading.
