New burning regs aim to improve air quality for everyone Only those on large lots in Langford will be issued outdoor burning permits Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff

Emma MacPhail, a resident at Alexander Mackie Lodge on Station Avenue, is one of several scooter riders who have toppled over on Phipps Road trying to access the Langford Walmart.

Calls for action heard Injured scooter rider prompts retail giant to take action to fix steep corner Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

A trip to the supermarket that ended in injury for Emma MacPhail prompted her to ensure it doesn’t happen again, to her or any other motorized scooter users. And it turns out her efforts to make positive change are being acted upon. The 90-year-old resident of the

Alexander Mackie Lodge in Langford was riding to Walmart along Phipps Road on July 25. When she attempted to turn right off Phipps and head up toward the store, she and her scooter toppled over at the corner, which has a steep incline and a narrow path she said make it very challenging to navigate safely. “I fell onto the road. It’s a dangerous place to fall, because the sidewalk is narrow (and) if you fall as I did into the road, it is quite dangerous,” she said. “If a car came along it could run you over.” Fortunately for her, a quickthinking friend riding behind her

drove her scooter onto the road to block traffic, but MacPhail, a retired social worker, said the damage was done. “I skinned my arm, (it) was bleeding and sore and all my side was hurt. It took seven weeks before it cured. I had a lot of injuries with muscles and it was hard to breathe,” she said. “It hurt to take a deep breath and it hurt to lie down.” MacPhail wrote the City of Langford and the manager of Walmart, hoping to prevent others from suffering the same fate. PLEASE SEE: Langford senior, Page A3

Some choices are hard.

New burning regulations now in effect for Langford will drastically change how residents rid themselves of fallen leaves and branches this autumn. The old rules allowed residents to burn on their lots the first Friday and Saturday of the month, from October to May. Starting this season, in a bid to reduce harmful air pollution for the entire municipality, new bylaws have been put into effect that restrict burning to two month-long periods, Nov. 1 to 30 and Feb. 15 to March 15. Anyone wanting to burn during those times also has to apply for a permit through the Langford Fire Department. “This has really been driven by the citizens,” said assistant chief Chris Aubrey. “We’ve had numerous feedback over the years about air quality and smoke. Every day we had a burn day, we’d get concerned citizens calling in saying, ‘my kid’s got asthma,’ or asking why there was so much smoke.” One of the most significant changes is that burning permits will only be issued to residents with a lot size of a half acre or greater. “If you think about the CRD smoking regulations, you have to be 30 feet from public doorways

and windows, because people were being affected by secondhand smoke,” Aubrey said. “This is the same sort of thing. If you only have a few feet between you and your neighbour, the smoke blows directly into their yard.” A limit of 20 burn permits per day will be issued, with approval on a first-come, first-served basis. Households are limited to two permits per burning period. In spreading outdoor burning over a longer period, the hope is to mitigate the heavy clouds of smoke that have traditionally hung over Langford and caused health concerns, Aubrey said. Another major change, he added, is a ban on burning in what are considered “fire hazard areas” – heavily forested or remote areas where the “potential of a fire getting out of hand is too much of a risk to residents.” Residents can find a map outlining banned areas on the City of Langford website. “We recognize most communities around us have banned (outdoor) burning altogether,” Aubrey said. He encouraged residents to think about the “Three Cs” if burning is not an option: chipping, composting or commercial disposal.

Former West Shore RCMP reserve officer Jordan Carrie, left, and West Shore RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Wright make the 102-kilometre journey from Port Alberni to Ucluelet. Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff

Tour de Rock gala at Bear Mountain tonight West Shore RCMP rider Steve Wright recovering from mid-Island crash Arnold Lim News staff

The West Shore will be abuzz with the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock arriving today (Oct. 1). Day 11 of the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock brings the team of riders back to Sooke and the West Shore, including Sooke resident and West Shore RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Wright, and West Shore resident Heather Hunter, with the Saanich Police Department. Wright went down in a crash between Ucluelet and Tofino on Sunday and removed himself from the ride, but is still travelling with the team. He looks forward to seeing

friends and family back home. “It will be a very emotional time for me, there is no doubt about that,” he said. “There’s a lot of support in both communities for me. I’ll be coming home and it’ll be nice to finally see my wife and my friends and family there as well.” It was family that was on his mind when he received a special surprise on his way into Ucluelet, where a tap on the shoulder caught the veteran cop off guard. “Standing at the top of Hydro Hill and reflecting on people who have been affected by cancer, I was standing and thinking about (family),” he said. “It was a beautiful and calm moment and I got this tap on my shoulder and I turn around and there is my lovely daughter standing there. There couldn’t have been a better time, at a time I needed a hug she was there to give one to me. It was definitely one of the highlights of my Tour.” Coming into Ucluelet, where he was sta-

tioned four years, Wright said he reflected on his family and friends, the support from the community and fundraising efforts to battle the deadly disease. His time has been especially rewarding, he said, because he has been able to do it with his family by his side. “I wouldn’t have been able to do this without their support. The whole process has taken me away from them for extended periods of time. Knowing they support me and have helped me along this process has helped me be stronger, but be a better person as a result of that.” His daughter, Sarah, said surprising him on tour and being there with her father alongside the journey has been a gratifying experience she hopes to contribute to as her father joins the team in the final stretch. “I look forward to seeing him as he makes his way through (to) the finale (at Spirit Square) Oct. 3. I am really proud of him. We both have a lot of family members and

friends who have been affected by cancer, so to be able to spend so much time fundraising for people affected by cancer just makes me very proud to see he’s doing something like this,” she said. “I’m proud to be able to call him my dad and he has been doing an amazing job.” After travelling through Duncan, Shawnigan Lake and Sooke, the team will stop in the West Shore at Lakewood and Ruth King elementaries, do a ride-by past Belmont secondary and attend a gala dinner at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort in the evening. Cocktails are at 6:30 p.m. and dinner is at 7:00. Tickets are $65 each or $500 for a table of 8. To find out if tickets are still available, email Rod or Donna Fraser at drfraser@ telus.net or call 250-590-6713.

Langford senior makes suggestions for fixing tricky sidewalk Continued from Page A1

Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff

Emma MacPhail drives into Alexander Mackie Lodge on Station Avenue in Langford. Many residents there ride their scooters down toward the shopping district.

She discovered that Langford doesn’t have authority in this matter. “I have been able to confirm with our engineering department that they are aware of this situation and have been out to the site to assess it,” Langford deputy director of planning, Leah Strohmann, wrote in an email to MacPhail. She continued, “However, as the sidewalk in question is located on private property (owned by Walmart Canada Corp) and not within a City-owned boulevard, we are unable to enter the property to complete any improvements, and we do not have any bylaw mechanism to compel Walmart to

pursue this themselves.” Alex Roberton, director of corporate affairs for Walmart Canada, said that MacPhail’s letter, once received, was forwarded immediately to their head office in Toronto, where the architect and construction teams began investigating the dangerous corner. “We’re taking this very seriously and giving it a full review, and looking into solutions for our customer,” he said. “It has to be safe, and it has to work, so we’ll take our time to make sure we’ve got it right.” Wayne Fleet of City Wide Scooter and Wheelchairs said he has tried to contact the retailer in the past regarding the same issue. “I have seen lots of people tip

over there,” he said. “It is too much on the slope. Even if I was driving a scooter, I wouldn’t drive across that area, it’s too dangerous.” MacPhail suggested widening the walkway by cutting into the landscaping or paving the pathway a short distance up the road to create a different path to the store. She’s open to any other suggestions to make the sidewalk safer for the many people who rely on scooters such as herself. “I feel I was fortunate not to be more badly injured and run over. I was concerned it might happen to someone else and they (might) not be so fortunate.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Multiple charges are laid here, Nanaimo against Langford man Reports of assault, mischief, erratic driving lead to arrest Arnold Lim News staff

A trail of public complaints has led to numerous charges being recommended against a 23-year-old Langford man. On Sept. 24, a complaint of impaired driving was called in at 8:24 a.m., after a man left a Langford apartment in a black BMW car. Police say the driver told the complainant he had been drinking alcohol and smoking marijuana all night. During the search for the car, police received another report at 9:15 a.m. of a man ransacking a home on Liberty Drive in Metchosin. The man, who police

later determined matched the description from the first complaint, reportedly left the home and assaulted another man who was walking along the road. The assault victim told police the man said he was en route to kill someone. West Shore RCMP received a tip at 11:26 a.m. from a caller who stated that the same suspect planned to drive to Nanaimo to do harm to another person. The local detachment immediately shared the information with Nanaimo RCMP, which minutes earlier received an erratic driving complaint about a black BMW matching the description provided by West Shore RCMP. The man was ultimately located and taken into custody by Nanaimo RCMP. He was described as confrontational with police and once inside the police cruiser, kicked out a side window.

The man appeared in Nanaimo provincial court last Thursday and was transported back to the West Shore, where he was scheduled to appear in Western Communities provincial court to face the local charges. “When you have a situation like this and you get multiple pieces of information about one individual and have someone that states he was en route to kill someone and driving dangerously and possibly impaired, that is a package of information we want to deal with quickly,” said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “We were happy when this individual was taken into custody, for the safety of everyone involved.” West Shore RCMP were recommending charges of uttering threats, mischief and assault against the man. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Amongst the shadows of children’s laughter and concentrated silent reading, Linda Simrose has created a gathering place for artists in the former Metchosin elementary library, invoking a sense of inspiration and collaboration for all who go there. “I had a studio at the Coast Collective, but I outgrew it,” Simrose says. “It was just too small and so I wandered into here. I was just looking for a studio.” GLOW Art Studio and Gallery, large and brightly lit by previous tenant, the Metchosin Art Gallery, was more than Simrose needed for a solitary workspace. She soon had the idea to bring in other artists and make a place where creative individuals could interact. She designated Sundays as the ‘social’ day. “As an artist, you often spend so much of your time alone,” she says. “I’ve invited all my other artist friends and we’ve really mixed it up. We just love it, because that’s really the only time we get to be around other artists.” The gallery has something new around each corner, behind each wall. Oil paintings of orchids, watercolour scenes from local waterways and more unusual mediums as well. A glass-and-resin birdbath fused to a roughened stone graces

Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

Linda Simrose, founder of GLOW studio in the old Metchosin Elementary library, says her “Ocean’s Pendant” piece here has shattered glass from her car’s window, beach stones and three different types of desiccants. the window display, one of Simrose’s latest pieces. Mosaic tiles beautify small rocks, glass jewelry hangs from ancient wooden stands, iron and stainless steel chickens strut across the walls with their fork-feet. “Linda’s definitely the driving force here,” says Catherine Lang, an author and regular attendee of the Sunday gatherings. “All of the creative energy and the artists who come here and bounce their ideas off each other – it’s very inspiring and fun.” Being able to foster a supportive community has been incredibly rewarding for Simrose. “It’s important to me. I’ve been an artist my whole life, and when you’re trying to do everything on your own, learning everything on your own … it would

have been easier if I’d had artist friends.” The success of the gallery and the community that has sprung up within it is partly due to the history of the building itself, says Simrose, who opened the gallery on May 1. “You can smell how old it is,” she says, laughing. “Every morning that I walk in, you can tell it’s a very old building. It just has a feeling to it, an energy to it. It’s charming in its old kind of way.” The retired graphic artist is thrilled to be able to “play” in the space. “Every morning I jump out of bed, excited to get here. It just feels right.” For more information, visit facebook.com/GlowArtStudioandGallery. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Sports facilities good investment Once playing fields, arenas and other sports facilities are completed, it’s easy to take their presence for granted and the impact they have on the overall health of the community. Anyone spending time at West Shore Parks and Recreation in Colwood the past two weekends saw firsthand the beehive of activity attracted by the playing fields, tennis courts, golf course, arenas and bike motocross track. From soccer, lawn bowling, BMX races and figure skating, to field lacrosse, golf, tennis, hockey and curling, the myriad opportunities for healthy recreation and competition made possible by the various facilities was unmistakable. Participants in these activities come not only from the six members in the West Shore Parks and Recreation Society – five municipalities and one electoral district – but from across the Capital Region. That is good not just for public health, it’s good for business, as visitors to the area use restaurants and cafés, or combine their trip with a visit to retail stores on the West Shore, or maybe do a drive-by or stop in to such higher-end merchants as car dealers. Building such facilities, whether in Colwood or Langford – home to about 68 per cent of the West Shore’s population and the most developable land – is not cheap. Property owners foot the bill for such projects, with extra revenue such as naming rights and other corporate sponsorship helping lower the hit marginally. But with good financial management at the municipal level, and teamwork between the Society’s members, taxpayers aren’t hit through the nose with huge property tax increases to pay for new fields and arenas. Some people may disagree with the idea of municipalities taking on such projects, arguing that the users should bear the full brunt of paying them off. But recreation facilities are part of the fabric of our communities and go a long way toward producing the kind of healthy people who lead us now and in the future. That, along with revenues from usage, is part of the solid investment they are today and become down the road. What do you think?

Is this the first step to imposing After local elections, discussions a tight-fisted centralized bargaining with surviving and incoming agency, such as the government municipal politicians will resume. set up last year to wrestle the B.C. Things have been going pretty Teachers’ Federation to the ground? well for the main municipal union, “We haven’t formulated our the Canadian Union of Public answer,” de Jong said. “What the Employees, for the last couple of data does suggest, however, is that decades. As local election turnout there may well be some merit (to has gone from bad to worse, centralized bargaining). One of the municipal employees themselves recommendations points to a more have become an increasingly co-ordinated approach to some of dominant voting bloc. the negotiations that take place.” Then there are the “labour Will the new municipal auditor councils” in urban centres, now general have a role in this? almost entirely fronts for public “The purpose of the auditor was sector unions. They quietly survey not to become an enforcement council candidates to determine mechanism,” de Jong said. “It was their level of affection for everto play a traditional audit function growing public payrolls, and dole on whether taxpayers are getting out campaign funds accordingly. value for money. To that extent Sometimes they organize full slates, I suppose a municipal auditor with cuddly names like “Protect might be able to comment on the Coquitlam” to appeal to low-

advantages of co-ordinating efforts.” NDP leader John Horgan’s attack on the compensation report (see story Page A25) was as predictable as it was selective. In his speech to delegates, Horgan called it “onesided, politically motivated, shoddy work” designed to embarrass local politicians on the eve of their elections. Did he question Ernst and Young’s numbers, the pay increases for municipal union staff of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, compared to 19 per cent for unionized provincial staff? Did he question their calculation that over that period, inflation totalled 23 per cent? No. The facts being against him, he went with an emotional pitch to distract from them. Recall that during the final days of the teachers’ strike, Horgan suddenly decided what was really needed was binding arbitration. This was 24 hours after the teachers’ union took that position. So there’s the big question to be considered by voters as local elections draw near. Which candidates are looking out for your interests, and which ones are working on behalf of CUPE? There’s another troubling trend in manipulation of local government that was more evident than ever at the 2014 UBCM convention. I’ll discuss that in a future column. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

‘The report shows problems with provincial management salaries as well.’

LETTERS Teaching option suggested for working with special students Re: Special needs need addressing (Our View, Sept. 24) I agree with your article about the need for children with learning and behavioural needs requiring extra one-toone assistance and that moving them out would not be the best solution. I would like to suggest another option that is a win-win for all involved. If there was a classroom or two in each school dedicated to children with special needs, that was staffed by teacher assistants with specialized training on behaviour management and varied learning needs, the students would have a smaller class size with more one-to-one time. Teacher assistants are often trained to teach in alternative styles to allow the child to learn in a nonconventional way and their pay is less than a teacher with a degree. Maybe their curriculum is met or they learn more of the things they “need to know to be an active community member.” The children would still be in the same school as their peers and would meet at recess and lunch breaks. They could most likely join them for music, art, PE or other classes they are able to manage. Our children are all individuals and their learning needs all need to be met, whether they have “special” learning or behavioural needs, or are just struggling in math or reading.

They should all have individual education plans and bureaucracy or school board budgets shouldn’t interfere with their learning. Also, the government is obviously trying to force more families into the private schooling sector. Taxpayers buying into this and suggesting they shouldn’t have to pay school tax should look at the teacher their grandchild is learning from, or the nurse they will eventually come into contact with in their older years, and ask if education is important to them and the community in general?

Dogs on buses policy thinking rather selective What is the purpose of a city transport system? Presumably to serve the people, to lessen traffic congestion and to save excess carbon emission. Since arriving in Canada, I have been impressed by the regularity of the buses and the unfailing courtesy of drivers. Yet I am personally saddened by the fact that when I really need to board one – especially when carrying heavy shopping bags – I have to allow the bus to pass me by. I have no alternate means of transport, but I do have a small dog which needs exercise. At nearly 80 years of age, I can muster strength to walk one way, but need to take a bus back.

I find my life greatly curtailed by not being able to use the public service provided as I see fit. I find the thinking very selective with respect to people’s allergies and possible dog hair sticking to men’s suits. Humans shed hair as well and many people sneeze in public places, and thus contaminate the air. Are we to ban people from buses, too? Perhaps we have grown too precious and too regardless of the less wealthy in our midst. Evelyn Cresswell Saanich

Fletcher should do his homework: Isitt Re: Report card time for local politicians (B.C. Views, Sept. 24). My track record advocating for cost-effective delivery of municipal services, fiscal discipline in major infrastructure projects, open government and safety in our communities is clear. Voters and municipal officials from across the political spectrum value this contribution at Victoria City Hall, which has saved taxpayers money, improved public services and helped to make the municipality more responsive to resident concerns. Tom Fletcher chooses to ignore this track record in his column, perhaps because he has not attended a single meeting of Victoria city council or the Capital Regional District board

since I was elected to represent the people of Victoria three years ago. Alongside my work on municipal issues, the people of Victoria have asked me to stand up and advocate to the provincial and federal governments on issues they care about that impact our community. This includes the threat of oil tankers and pipelines on coastal communities and interior waterways; attacks on our postal system and education system and the workers who deliver those services, and the rights of First Nations on issues including sacred burial sites and land development. The Union of B.C. Municipalities and Federation of Canadian Municipalities are legitimate channels for dialogue between local government and the provincial and federal governments. At this year’s UBCM convention, I spoke directly with Premier Clark and her ministers on matters affecting the City of Victoria and Capital Region, helping to build relationships and find solutions that will benefit the community that I am elected to represent. Tom Fletcher is entitled to have his views, as I told him during a conversation at UBCM. But I think we would all benefit if he did his homework first. Coun. Ben Isitt City of Victoria

Free, 10-week health program offered to kids and parents at the Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre Dan Palmer News staff

Fall is here, which means shorter days, cooler temperatures and for some kids, less time spent outdoors. But a free, 10-week program beginning this week at the Esquimalt Family Military Resource Centre in Colwood is aiming to buck that trend by educating kids about what it means to be healthy. “There’s data now to show that even as young as four or five years of age, if you’re on an unhealthy weight trajectory, you see problems with sugar control, high blood pressure and fatty liver developing later in life,” said Dr. Tom Warshawski, a pediatrician and chair of the Childhood Obesity Foundation. The MEND program, which stands for Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it, is aimed at children ages five to 13 and their parents and caregivers. The free program runs twice a week and covers nutrition, reading labels, healthy choices, options for fitness and more. Using provincial funding, the program has been offered since 2013 as a way of tackling the alarming rise in childhood obesity across B.C. and Canada. Health Canada numbers show 30 per cent of Canadian children and youth are either overweight or obese, up from 15 per cent in 1978. Obese children have an 80 per cent or higher probability of becoming obese adults, and adults who have unhealthy weights are at increased risk of heart disease, cancer, strokes and type 2 diabetes. Warshawski has seen the reality of those statistics at his pediatric practice in Kelowna, which

Tom Warshawski has convinced him to become an outspoken advocate for a “sugar tax” on sugar-sweetened beverages. “A pop once in a while isn’t all that bad, but Canadian consumption of sugary drinks is on average around 110 litres per person per year,” Warshawski said. “Those who drink a lot, drink a heck of a lot. About 25 per cent of teens drink it daily at an average serving size about 750 ml. There’s a huge consensus on this being unhealthy.” Altering habits through higher taxes has been shown to be effective through tobacco taxation. According to CRD statistics, tobacco use in the Capital Region is as low as 11 per cent, thanks in part to higher taxes. Part of the acceptance of exorbitantly high taxes on tobacco stems from peoples’ understanding of its adverse health effects, Warshawski said. Sugary drinks need that same buy-in, he added. “Drinking liquid sugar is the worst thing to do. There are no nutrients in there, and it promotes weight gain in a very significant manner. Taxing that product would help recoup the cost to the healthcare system

this product triggers,” he said. The MEND program tackles the negative health effects of sugary drinks by encouraging participants to avoid them altogether. Taxing those drinks will require a grassroots movement to pressure government in the future, Warshawski said. With MEND, parents are also educated about healthy portioning of fruits, vegetables, proteins and starches, and kids are held to two hours or less of screen time daily. In a tablet and smartphone ridden world, that can be a significant challenge. Victoria YMCA fitness co-ordinator Litzia Eccleston said it’s all about realizing the importance of battling childhood obesity and figuring out positive ways to get people back on track. “It’s so important nowadays, we are realizing there is a bit of a problem with childhood obesity and we want to help change that in a positive way and have people having fun in a family way,” she said. “It is not just the West Shore, it is all over the world... We are looking at positive ways to change family behaviours and show them how to eat healthy, have fun and be active.” The program includes a free three-month pass to the YMCA. Almost 400 children and their parents or caregivers have participated or signed up for the programs to date. The next MEND class at the Esquimalt Military Family Resource Centre begins Oct. 9 and is scheduled for Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4 to 6 p.m. To register or to find out more information, call 250-418-1842 or email mend@victoriay.com. – With files from Arnold Lim alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Book Bonanza offers something for everyone Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

If you have a book, leave a book, but if you need one, the Book Bonanza might be for you. Church of the Advent in Colwood is looking for gently used books, DVDs, CDs – even LP records – for its West Shore Community Book Bonanza fundraiser. The annual event, set for Oct. 3 and 4, is growing in stature, organizer Jose Perena Pratt said. “The community looks for it now, they seem to save up their books. We feel privileged they do that and they come back and buy books,” she said. “It’s a really inexpensive way to find good quality books.” Friday evening features a pre-sale event, where eager book lovers can pay $5 admission for first crack at the sale items from 6 to 8 p.m. On Saturday, entrance is free from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Homemade apple pies will also be on sale. Most books are priced between $2 and $5 each. The funds raised go toward church programs and community outreach. Unsold books will be donated to Discover Books, a program that provides books to literacy-based community programs around North America. “The best part is everyone just working together. It’s a fun event,” Pratt said. “It allows the people from the West Shore to enjoy the book sale without having to go downtown. It’s bringing another adventure to them.” Church of the Advent is at 510 Mount View Ave., off Sooke Road. Anyone interested in donating books can call 250-474-3031. Donations will be accepted until Friday morning. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Reader Photo of the Week

Metchosin resident Rick Zaharia captivated us with the autumn hues in his shot of an old fence off Metchosin Road. “A morning drive along Metchosin Road (provides) an endless amount of photo ops,” he wrote us. Rick’s handiwork earns him the honours for the Gazette’s Reader Photo of the Week. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people places or things and want to share it with our readers, we can help you out with that. Every Wednesday, we publish our pick from

submitted photos. To have yours considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .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!

Island Beltone owner gets a lecture on Perry Como from his mom. He can hear her perfectly. He’s not listening.

Free Island Beltone Dr. Cameron McCrodan, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson and Dr. Chris Snow

Has my vision changed? How frequently should one “change ones glasses?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years. Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required. The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

Horgan blasts ‘shoddy’ municipal pay study New NDP leader says timing of release intended to embarrass local politicians heading into fall elections Tom Fletcher Black Press

NDP leader and Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan used his first speech to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention last week to blast the B.C. government for a report criticizing generous wage hikes for municipal staff. “The B.C. Liberals are saying to you, ‘you don’t know how to run a peanut stand,’” Horgan told delegates at the Whistler Conference Centre last Thursday. Horgan drew applause when he called the report “shoddy, politically motivated” and “an insult” to mayors, councillors and regional district directors, adding that it was purposely leaked before the UBCM meetings to embarrass local politicians heading into their November elections. The Ernst and Young study was released days before the convention by the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation. It calculated that unionized municipal staff received pay increases of 38 per cent between 2001 and 2012, twice as much as unionized provincial staff and higher than the inflation rate of 23 per cent during the same period. The report also highlighted the escalation of senior municipal staff salaries, with

city managers in Vancouver, North Vancouver, Abbotsford and Maple Ridge making more than the $230,000 paid to provincial deputy ministers. Finance Minister Mike de Jong acknowledged there are “some gaps in the data” used in the report, which was compiled without the knowledge or participation of local governments. But he said it is a reminder of how the province balanced its

budget starting last year. “In our case a big part of that is being very disciplined in negotiations on wage settlements,” de Jong said in an interview. “And if you don’t apply that discipline, your cost structure can get out of hand pretty quickly.” Horgan praised public education and accused the government of “disrespecting” teachers during their recent strike, promis-

ing an NDP government would do better. He praised a study done for the UBCM on the impact of increasing ferry fares. He accused Transportation Minister Todd Stone of replying to it with “a four-page lecture about how things are going to get better with another four-per-cent increase,” and converting the fleet’s largest vessels to use natural gas fuel. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Premier Clark encourages civic belt-tightening in aftermath of report Premier Christy Clark wants rising municipal pay rates to be front and centre in November elections around B.C., and that’s why her government set off a storm at the annual local government convention by releasing an unflattering comparison study with provincial pay. In her speech to close the annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention Friday, Clark told 2,000 local govern-

ment delegates she is “not here to point a finger” at local governments, but she wants them to do the hard work of negotiations as the province did in the recent dispute with B.C. teachers. “I think it’s a legitimate issue to be discussed because it’s taxpayers who pay for these compensation costs,” Clark told reporters after her speech. “Further than that we’ll wait until we have new

municipal councils to speak with, and then we can talk about the next steps.” NDP local government critic Selina Robinson said the report, prepared and leaked without notice to the UBCM, “hit a group of people over the head with a two-byfour.” Robinson also objected to Clark urging B.C. residents to choose peaceful accommodation, saying the long and bit-

ter strike that shut schools for five weeks is a poor example. In her speech, which was given one day after NDP leader John Horgan spoke to the municipal politicians, Clark emphasized the importance of resource development, an apparent reference to the battle led by Burnaby against the proposed expansion of the Trans Mountain oil pipeline (see story below). – Tom Fletcher

Pipeline twinning opposition rejected at UBCM convention Rural politicians argue increased oil transport by rail more dangerous Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. municipal leaders have narrowly voted to defeat a proposed resolution from Burnaby to oppose Kinder Morgan’s $5.4-billion oil pipeline twinning. The issue went to an electronic vote Thursday at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention after a show of hands was too close to call. The final vote was 49.3 per cent in favour of the resolution

and 50.7 per cent opposed. Burnaby Mayor Derek Corrigan said the pipeline project – which would triple the size of a tank farm near homes in Burnaby and result in a seven-fold increase in oil tanker traffic through Burrard Inlet and in coastal waters around south Vancouver Island – is too risky. He also argued the federal government has no strategy to maximize jobs in Canada by ensuring bitumen is refined here instead of in China. “The risks of increasing oil tanker traffic are all to the down side for the B.C. coast,” said Islands Trust chair Sheila Malcolmson. “We get no benefit, there’s no

refining, no jobs for us, our salmon industry’s at risk, our tourism industry is at risk and our first reponders who would be on the front lines are at risk.” But delegates from communities along the Thompson River said they fear a surge in oil tanker trains will run on the rail line through the region if the 60-yearold Kinder Morgan pipeline is not twinned to carry oil sands bitumen from Alberta. “That can be used to move oil and there are no restrictions at all,” Clearwater Mayor John Harwood said. Thompson-Nicola Regional District director Tim Pennell argued the current cleanup response capability for a marine oil spill

is very limited in the Vancouver area and the Trans Mountain project would bring a “huge improvement.” After the vote, Corrigan said he was disappointed but insisted the split vote still sends a “strong message” of concern from B.C. civic leaders. He said opposition came mainly from self-interested rural B.C. delegates who are worried about increased oil-by-rail shipments and who greatly outnumber urban representatives at UBCM. “It shows the scare tactic that’s been put out by these companies has worked,” Corrigan said. “They’ve said they’re going to do it regardless, whether it goes by pipeline or by rail.”

But one of the ‘no’ votes came from one of Burnaby’s closest neighbours – Belcarra mayor Ralph Drew – who said rural communities are right to fear oil trains. “We have to face the reality that the oil is going to move and that the increasing use of rail to move oil is probably a ten-fold greater risk than by pipeline,” Drew said in an interview. “The rail lines that come to the west coast come down the Fraser canyon on either side of the Fraser River,” he said. “The potential for a derailment and a real disaster is much, much greater than anything that could possibly happen in transportation by pipeline.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Free ride competition jumps to West Shore Custom layout on Bear Mountain’s valley course should produce some big air Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff

Mountain biker Peter Savage tests out one of the turns at Bear Mountain Golf Resort, where he is helping build the course for Jumpship, a free ride mountain biking event taking place adjacent to the golf course this Friday through Sunday (Oct. 3 to 5).

Jeff Sheppard Dad & Doghter day on the water A cold and blustery day off Pender Island Bluffs and we caught this little guy. Maple likes to kiss each fish we catch. Maple gave out 4 kisses that day - a good day/dinner had by all.

It is still Jumpship, only without the ship. Audiences looking for professional free ride mountain bikers, impressive trick jumps, huge air and even a chance to try it themselves have a new place to check out the sport, only this time the event takes place on a mountain instead of a ship. “I couldn’t be more excited. It’s something maybe we dreamed of,” said Dockside Mountain Biking Society board member Rob Fawcett, whose organization hosts Jumpship 2014 this Friday through Sunday (Oct. 3 to 5) at Bear Mountain Golf Resort. “To be able to host the event downtown was really cool, but of course it really didn’t represent mountain biking. To be able to host the event at Bear Mountain, it really represents mountain biking which is pretty exciting.” The challenges of building and tearing down the entire bike course in a matter of days, not to mention other logistical demands related to being on the Inner Harbour, forced them to reconsider their venue, Fawcett said. However, he looks forward to seeing the 20 riders from across North America – and possibly a few talented European riders – take to the skies in a brand-new home on the West Shore. “It is one of the most unique courses out there, because as far as I know, there is no mountain bike free ride competition held on a golf course. It is one of a kind,” said Peter Savage, who is competing this weekend. “I am so passionate about moun-

tain biking and it’s so cool to see events like this. It brings the mountain biking community together and shows the city that lots of people want more places to ride and want the community to be stronger, (with) more events like this happening.” The lifelong Oak Bay resident, who is also helping build the course, has a long scar running across one shoulder, the result of a broken collarbone suffered in a biking crash. He’s still excited about competing, adding that the feeling he gets from hitting the air on his bike is an experience like none other. “It’s like flying … Once you try it, you get such a great adrenaline rush you get addicted to it. It’s such a euphoric feeling. It is scary, but that’s why you want to do it, you get that adrenaline pumping.” Fawcett, helping organize his third Jumpship, said the venue change has been a positive one and offers an excellent opportunity to watch an up-and-coming sport evolve on the West Shore. The event will feature a beer garden, vendors, live music, a kids’ play area and a jump where amateur riders can leap onto a giant air bag. While he doesn’t expect to draw anywhere near the 40,000 spectators who took in the event downtown, Fawcett looks forward to a unique, free experience that is great for adults and families. “We’re pretty excited that Bear Mountain is here to support it and make it happen,” he said. “We’re going to have world-class riders, and now a world-class course and that is what (spectators) are going to see.” For more information visit jumpshipcontest.com. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

10th Birthday to remember Hello, my son Dax (the boy on the left) is a fishing fanatic. For his 10th birthday, my wife and I bought him a fullday Sturgeon charter on the Fraser river, as we figured the ‘double digit’ birthday needed to be very special. He brought along his good friend Niko, and we enjoyed a fantastic day of Sturgeon fishing, catching 7 Sturgeon in total, and losing 3 more. This was the biggest Sturgeon, measuring in at exactly 8 feet in length, and approximately 80 years old! In scanning this fish, our guide discovered that it had never been tagged, so we were also lucky enough to be involved in the process of inserting a tag into this fish before it was released. As our guide told us, we were fortunate to experience an “epic” day of Sturgeon fishing that would be hard to beat!

Rebels miss the playoffs with a loss in Chilliwack The Westshore Rebels’ hopes of qualifying for the B.C. Football Conference playoffs were shattered with a loss to the Valley Huskers and a win by the Vancouver Island Raiders. The Rebels, 2-7 after losing 39-28 to the Huskers in Chilliwack on Saturday, head to Nanaimo this Saturday to take on the Raiders. The Raiders, who beat the Kamloops Broncos 45-15 last weekend, sit 4-5 and locked up the fourth and final playoff berth. Hunter Lake passed for 349 yards and two touchdowns in the loss, connecting for 138 yards to Jordan Rodinsky and 109 to Bryce Mosley. Lake also ran for 101 yards.

Christian Brandt scored his second of the game early in a penalty filled second period to make it 3-0, but Connor Krupa cut the gap to 3-1 with a shorthanded marker from Kayle Ramsay 13:08 in. The Wolves’ Spencer Preece scored unassisted 11:06 into the third to cut the gap to one, but it was all Storm after that. Colin Blake and Michael Olson scored four minutes apart to give the locals some breathing room, then Gavin Rauser put the icing on the cake, scoring with 15 seconds left. The Storm, who beat Comox Valley 3-2 in overtime the next night, now sit at 8-0. On Sept. 24, Richter had a hat trick and added an assist as the Wolves mauled the Generals. Nick Guiney, Corey Peterson and Preece also scored in the win, while Logan Savard and Kyle Wade replied for Oceanside. Riley Welyk picked up the win in goal, making 31 saves. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Jr. B squad absorbs loss to Campbell River The Westshore Wolves got a sense of the power of the Campbell River Storm when the Vancouver Island Hockey League’s South Division leaders travelled to meet the top junior B squad in the north for the first time this season. After seeing the pesky Wolves score twice to pull within a goal at 3-2, the Storm gave the home fans in Rod Brind’Amour Arena something to cheer about Friday, scoring three unanswered goals in the last half of the third period and cruising to a 6-2 win. Despite the loss, the Wolves (7-2) remain in first in their division, helped by a 6-2 home ice win over the Oceanside Generals last Wednesday at The Q Centre. Westshore is back home tonight (7 p.m. puck drop) to take on the Peninsula Panthers for a third time this season. In Campbell River, the Wolves peppered Storm goaltender Joey Karrer with 20 shots in the first period alone – they outshot their hosts 47-37 overall – but went into the first intermis-

Local charities line up for Victoria marathon Kevin Laird News staff

Josh Smith always had a dream to walk in the Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon 8K road race, but fear always got in the way. Smith had tried at least twice to complete the race only to be beset with fear and anxiety. But last year with the help of Lifetime Networks support workers Alex and Steph Saunders, he accomplished his goal with a smile on his face. Saanich-based Lifetime Networks is a support group for people with disabilities and is one of 22 charities that participates in the marathon every year. Last year, Lifetime Networks raised more than $20,000 from the marathon through active participation and pledges.

The Goodlife Fitness Victoria Marathon, which features four races, is coming up in October, but the annual pledge program has already started. The idea is to raise awareness and money for the participating charities by encouraging individuals to either walk or run for a charity while collecting pledges. Individuals can sign up at runvictoria.com to become part of an organization’s team. Over the last nine years, the program has raised more than $1 million for Victoria charities. Carlene Thompson, finance and fund development director for Lifetime Networks, said the partnership with the marathon and charity is a win-win scenario. The need for services is really growing and the need for creative services is really growing

Volunteers sought for local marathon With slightly less than two weeks left until the 35th annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon, the event is still in need of volunteers to fill a variety of areas. The marathon – on Sunday, Oct. 12 – requires race day volunteers as well as individuals for the race expo and for assisting with course set up. More than 1,600 volunteers are needed annually to ensure the event is run smoothly and efficiently. There are many areas individ-

uals can volunteer on race weekend including at the race expo from Oct. 10 to Oct.12; finish line set up on the Saturday; course marshals and water stations on Sunday – Race Day. Volunteers receive a longsleeved New Balance technical T-shirt and, new this year, a volunteer appreciation evening at the Victoria Royals. For more details go online to runvictoriamarathon.com or email volunteer@runvictoriamarathon.com. editor@vicnews.com

due to provincial government funding cutbacks. “The marathon is so important for us. It is how we fund our bursary and scholarships, and we leverage our funding through it,” Thompson said. “The biggest part for us is the opportunity for the participants to be in such a great community event. It’s great experience for any of the charities that get involved.” Alex Saunders, who coached Smith through the 8K road race, said it can be a life-changing experience, too. “It’s extremely rewarding. It shows that with perseverance and with training we were able to defeat (Alex’s) fears. It showed when we put our best foot forward, we can accomplish our goals.” klaird@vicnews.com

Erich Moerman loves his trees. So when the grounds and greenhouse keeper planted a 14-year-old Douglas fir last week at the Pacific Forestry Centre, he was beaming. “It should reach about 90 feet tall, not that we’ll ever be around to see it,” Moerman said during celebrations for National Tree Day at the centre. The Douglas fir isn’t just any tree: it’s one of seven saplings Moerman has nurtured from seeds he ordered from U.K.based Chiltern Seeds the same year he started working at the centre. The bluish tint to the tree is part of Chiltern’s selective breeding process, he said. “This little fella’s the only one left of seven that I started at home. It’s been in a pot all its life and it’s survived despite being subjected to draught, being blown over by wind (it spent quite a few years in a blustery Metchosin yard), and yet

it planted with healthy roots,” Moerman said proudly. The Douglas fir’s namesake is commonly mistaken as being connected to James Douglas, but it was first officially identified by visiting Scottish botanist David Douglas in 1824. He included the common Western species with hundreds of species he took back to the United Kingdom. On Sept. 24, the Forestry Centre on West Burnside Road relaunched the property’s David Douglas Trail, which was built in 1999. Employees led participants on guilded nature walks through the trail. “The trail winds through all 18 acres and the Colquitz River, and the public are welcome to use it,” said Brad Stennes, director of policy, planning and operations at the centre. “We hope more will (use it) now that we’ve cleaned it up.” The trail is now outfitted with “stations” along the route, with each including signage that detail the area’s ecosystem and trees, Stennes added. reporter@saanichnews.com
