New approach to ALR land sought by City of Langford City hopes Agricultural Land Commission will consider new method of removing land from reserve Mike Davies News Gazette staff

The City of Langford is looking for new ways to approach farmland protection and development, by proposing a way to ease removal of properties from the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). Coun. Lilian Szpak wrote the Agricultural Land Commission’s (ALC) Island Panel in March to indicate mayor and council’s desire to meet with the panel and discuss the creation and implementation of an action plan. A report discussed Thursday by the city’s agricultural advisory committee, which last met in April 2013, stated the goal was “to move forward from the current status quo with respect to Langford’s agricultural strategy.” Szpak’s letter outlined an initiative that would see “non-productive ALR lands” removed from the land reserve after “a significant contribution is made by the owner/developer towards the ongoing support of intensive agriculture on capable lands.” Those contributions would go into a fund managed by an independent corporation or committee made up of community members. While details still need to be worked out on that aspect of the plan, the money would be used to support infrastructure improvements such as irrigation and drainage for agricultural activities on land best suited for that purpose, Szpak said. “This is a way to help fund the values we cherish here. We want to be able to grow local and shop local, and this is how we can continue to expand those aspects of our community,” Szpak said, in making the best use of the land we have in the community. “We’re being proactive and innovative in the way we look at our agricultural strategy,” Szpak told the Gazette, “and we’re asking (the ALC) to

consider an alternative proposal that will put our arable land to its best use.” “Langford isn’t an ordinary, everyday community, so we need solutions that are maybe out of the ordinary. We need to think outside the box. Just because we’re used to doing things a certain way, doesn’t mean that’s the best way to do them,” Szpak added. “We’d like (the ALC) to consider and appreciate our innovation and forward thinking.” Szpak said the proposed new approach stems from a study the city had done in 2007 when they discovered much of the land in the ALR in Langford was really not very suitable for farming. “The limited area of arable land … renders it unsuitable for sustained commercial agricultural activity except for high intensity, high layout input horticulture use,” the study found, in regards to two of the properties currently being considered for removal from the reserve – 3497 and 3505 Happy Valley Rd. It also found, “the lack of connectivity to other lands with agricultural potential severely limits the long term agricultural potential of the subject properties. These isolated parcels are faced with encroaching urban development on formerly vacant land which is out of the ALR.” The City’s proposed initiative would see parcels of land like these more easily removed from the ALR. Matthew Baldwin, Langford director of planning, said later a recommendation also came out of the committee meeting to ask the commission to come in and re-evaluate ALR parcels in Langford to determine if they really should be a part of the reserve. Baldwin said the commission has never really looked at the land in the reserve to see if it’s actually best suited for agriculture, which leads to the issues of having people wanting their land removed from it. “Rather than deal with these things on a piece-by-piece basis,” he said, “It would be nice for them to come look at the land and help us create a plan for agriculture here.” The committee recommendations will now go before council for consideration. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

W.Gifford-Jones, MD Medi-C Plus™ – Humans do not make Vitamin C like animals do, we need to supplement this essential vitamin to meet our daily needs. Vitamin C and Lysine work together to build collagen, which strengthens and holds together the coronary cells. Inadequate amounts of Vitamin C means poor collagen. Coronary cells then fall apart just as bricks do without good mortar. Coronary arteries, closest to the heart, receive the greatest pressure. Without enough Vitamin C the collagen weakens. This sets the stage for heart attack. The work of Dr. Sydney Bush shows that Vitamin C + Lysine can help reverse the process.

Removal of chronic offenders reduces crime stats West Shore RCMP appreciates public help in nabbing frequent criminals Mike Davies News Gazette staff

Criminals don’t make up a large percentage of the population. A small number of them, however, make up a significant percentage of the crimes committed within our community. These people are considered “prolific offenders,” and police keep a close eye on them, because they dramati-

cally increase the overall crime numbers in any given region. “Prolific offenders have always been a priority for the RCMP, including the West Shore detachment,” says Const. Alex Bérubé of the West Shore RCMP. For example, he says such criminals are most often responsible for spikes in property crime. “A suspect will usually break into more than one vehicle to steal whatever he or she can, thus increasing the number of files reported to police.” Five of these offenders were arrested and had charges recommended by West Shore RCMP in the month between May 7 and

“When some (prolific offenders) are released from custody, we are right on them, making sure they abide by their conditions.” – Const. Alex Bérubé June 9 – a significant increase in apprehensions over a typical period of that length. Over the past year, there were 78 police contacts with those five individuals. “We are seeing these (arrest)

“When some (prolific offenders) are released from custody,” Bérubé says, “we are right on them, making sure they abide by their conditions.” West Shore RCMP count on the public’s help in reporting suspicious activity, and are happy with how the community responds to such requests, he says. Passing on information was especially important in the cases of these prolific offenders and helped investigators target those doing the most harm in our region. “The public is playing a major role in these investigations,” Bérubé says. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

numbers recently due to extensive efforts from every unit here at West Shore,” Bérubé says. “We have officers that are passionate about the job they do and take pride in helping our communities by arresting and charging these prolific offenders.” Police also watch such chronic offenders carefully once they are released back into the population, as they often pose a high risk to re-offend.

Homeless man turns in $2,000 When a homeless man in his 60s turned in more than $2,000 in cash to the West Shore RCMP detachment recently, it raised eyebrows. “This is an incredible display of honesty and selflessness,” said Const. Alex Bérubé. The owner has 90 days to identify details of their loss – amount, bill denominations, location where it was lost – or the good samaritan will be given the money. To claim the cash, visit the detachment at 698 Atkins Rd. in Langford or call 250-474-2264. All claims will be thoroughly investigated and vetted by investigating officers. mdavies@goldstreamgazette.com

Full beach fire ban could be issued if dry conditions continue Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

The Capital Regional Distract may soon lose its last legal place to build a beach fire. The District of Metchosin is considering banning beach fires on Taylor and Weirs Beach, the last two in the CRD where the seaside campfires are still allowed. Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne said a drastic increase in the number of such fires following bans across every other municipality in Greater Victoria precipitated a committee recommendation to ban the fires outright. “It’s just a matter of over population,” she said. “If there is only two people doing them, it’s maybe a small impact, but with a beach fire ban across the CRD it has become an impossible situation.” The two beaches currently don’t require permits for fires less than two feet in diameter. They must be at least 10 feet

away from logs and 20 feet from fences or structures, must be extinguished by midnight and can only be set when no provincial campfire ban is in effect. Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop said the increased fires have brought a number of unwelcome consequences. “The struggle comes when people don’t obey the rules,” she said. “If everyone obeys … beach fires wouldn’t be (as much of) an issue, but that is not the case. Because we’re the only one that allows them right now, there are lots of beach fires.” Major issues include the burning of pallets and bottles instead of firewood, she said, which leave behind a trail of nails and broken glass in the sand where children and pets may walk barefoot. Then there’s the improper burning of logs from the beach, unextinguished fires leaving hot patches beneath the sand that can burn bare feet, and the increase of garbage, Dunlop added.

Milne said a one-day clean up she took part in on Taylor Beach saw volunteers pick up more than 20 pounds of nails from beach fires. And with volunteer firefighters now patrolling the beaches, she said, having to deal with unextinguished fires puts a greater strain on the fire coverage. “We have a terrific fire department, but they don’t need more work to do.” While many people enjoy beach fires responsibly, Milne

said, she doesn’t see another way to curtail the issues exacerbated by potential environmental impacts. “The two beaches are homeland for forage fish; little fish like the Pacific sand lance and the surf smelt who lay their eggs on the beach. This habitat is being destroyed by all the fires. For many reasons, not the least of which is danger (to the public), I believe we have to stop.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Metchosin barn fire could have been worse for community Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

An early-morning blaze last week sent an illegal marijuana grow operation and distillery up in smoke and saw a Metchosin man arrested. Metchosin firefighters and West Shore RCMP responded to calls about a “glow in the sky” and found a barn fire in the 1,300block of Nield Road in Metchosin at 3:50 a.m. Thursday. A 20-foot by 40-foot barn, littered with propane canisters, had almost burnt to the ground by the time first responders arrived. “The structure was fully engulfed upon arrival at the scene,” said Metchosin Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. “Our priorities were to ensure any occupants were out of all the surrounding buildings, to protect any and all exposures and extinguishing any spot fires started from the flying embers.” The fire led investigators to execute a

search warrant of the six-building residence. Police confiscated 950 marijuana plants, some dried marijuana and approximately 700 litres of distilled alcohol from three of the six structures. A 43-year-old Metchosin man well known to police, with a history of marijuana cultivation, was arrested by police. The owner of the home is an absentee owner living in California. The cause of the fire is still being investigated. “What happens is when they grow marijuana, they need 750-watt bulbs and ballasts and wiring and all sorts of stuff, and in most cases the wires are not done by licensed electricians,” said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Bob Pilot. “They are not inspected, and most buildings have after-the-fact wiring, so it makes it all somewhat dubious. (On top of that), the distillery requires heating of the alcohol (so) fumes become dangerous because it lets off gasses.

“It appears the alcohol seized at the residence is high-proof liquor, so very flammable. It is believed to be 95 proof.” Langford and Sooke firefighters were also on hand to battle the blaze, along with paramedics and staff from B.C. Hydro who helped keep the fire away from nearby trees. Pilot said grow operations like these can pose risks not only to residents operating them, but to others in the neighbourhoods. “Marijuana grow ops are a danger to our community,” he said. “This fire, whether it was started by the grow op or not, because of the chemicals and propane tanks they had there, and electrical equipment in close proximity to the wild, the whole mountain could have burned up with this dry weather.” The suspect was released from custody and will face drug and Custom and Exciserelated charges when he appears next in the Western Communities Courthouse on Sept. 3. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood staffers work fast to put out RRU brush fire Colwood public works staffers put on their firemen’s hats to help douse a brush fire that threatened to shoot up the hillside from the edge of the Royal Roads University property Friday. The crew was working on Ocean Boulevard near the Lagoon Bridge in the afternoon when they were alerted to smoke in the area. Acting quickly with fire extinguishers, shovels and whatever else was at hand, they knocked down the leading edges of the growing brush fire and prevented it from spreading through the forest or up the hill toward the Belmont Park neighbourhood. Colwood Fire Chief Kerry Smith voiced appreciation for the actions of the public works crew. “If not for the quick response of these city staff members who did not question the need to act, Colwood Fire and Royal Roads University would have had a much larger and more threatening fire to contend with,” he said. Colwood firefighters were on scene shortly afterward to throw water onto the bush fire site and fully extinguish it. RRU called Colwood city hall to express their gratitude for the staffers who went above and beyond to prevent further damage to the treasured natural environment on the university grounds. Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton echoed the praise, saying, “Kudos to the team for their quick action to prevent a very serious situation from taking hold. Colwood is fortunate to be served by dedicated individuals who are willing to go beyond the call of duty.” There was no indication as to how the fire started, but given the current extremely dry conditions, Colwood Fire Department is urging the public to be extra vigilant when handling cigarettes, matches or any other flammable materials. – with files from Sandra Russell, City of Colwood editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Pay attention during dry spell The message is similar every year: take extra care when engaged in recreation in dry areas. The District of Metchosin, the last bastion of freedom around the Capital Region when it comes to beach fires, is even considering instituting a ban on that traditional summer party ingredient, due to the strain they are putting on its volunteer fire department. It’s the old story, however, the relatively few ruining it for the majority. It’s people doing silly things like hauling pallets in to burn up, without removing the nails first, or tossing spent beer bottles into the fire after draining them. We never like droning on about what seems like common sense safety tips, but sometimes it’s up to the rest of us to call out those unthinking people who force removal of a good time for the people who pay attention and take special care when building and monitoring fire at a dry time of year. It’s true that the lack of rain in recent weeks isn’t helping matters and will play a major role in forcing Metchosin’s hand to ban beach fires. That said, even if temperatures suddenly cooled down significantly and the fire rating was lowered, it makes sense at any time to watch what you’re doing, avoid flicking cigarette butts indiscriminately and think at least a little bit about the environment and those who are charged with caring for it. While predicting sunny days for June around Greater Victoria can often be as tough as picking the winning lottery numbers, most people are revelling in the sunshine, believing this to be a dry run for summer. But that’s just it – the lack of rain through May and the early part of June could be a sign that dry conditions will continue through the hottest part of the year in the region. And because of that, it’s time we started thinking about how to get along without including fire in our holiday or weekend recreation plans. Even if there’s an ocean right next to where you’re building that fire, the chances are heightened that sparks can fly and ignite a whole hillside or forest. Keep that in mind. What do you think?

There are people who have decided their car must always be shiny. There are people who run their tap while they’re brushing their teeth. But I also think those people are in the minority around the West Shore and Greater Victoria. That’s why we continue to see our streams full of fish, our reservoir at a level that can support our needs and we aren’t constantly bombarded by warnings about how the fire department is concerned they won’t have enough water to fight a blaze if one starts up – as was the case not long ago in another community in which I resided. So good on you, West Shore and South Island residents, for doing what’s best to conserve this most precious of our planet’s natural resources. Keep turning off those taps, so hopefully we’ll never have to worry about whether anything will happen when we turn them on.

LETTERS Hall project democracy at its finest Re: View Royal residents can check out new fire hall (Gazette, June 12) The people of View Royal can rejoice in their new public safety building and in the triumph of democracy. They turned out and defeated their town’s extremely undemocratic “Alternative Approval Process” to borrow $8.1 million for the new fire hall. This forced the town to hold a proper democratic referendum in which everyone could vote yes or no. To win the referendum, the town had to reduce the borrowing amount from $8.1 million to $5.4 million, which saved View Royal taxpayers

Uncontrolled dogs a nuisance in parks Re: RCMP and CRD team up for parks safety (Gazette, June 12) I was happy to see Mike Davies’ article. As a frequent walker in parks, I was especially relieved to see the Capital Regional District’s reminder that “dogs must be on a leash at

It is unfortunate that some people don’t take the time to train their dogs to obey safety commands. Those dogs are allowed to bark at, snap at and jump on strangers who often

find those behaviours terrifying. From now on, I will report all incidents of dogs jumping on strangers in parks to the CRD by calling 250-478-3344.

New truck for View Royal cleaner and quieter thanks to new initiative The truck that collects garbage and organics (kitchen scraps) in the Town of View Royal is now cleaner and quieter, thanks to a new sustainability initiative from the Town of View Royal and Waste Management. As of June 9, Waste Management is servicing View Royal with a new “clean air” truck, powered by compressed natural gas for a smaller

carbon footprint. The truck is delivering distinct environmental benefits for View Royal, including nearly zero air particulate and 23 per cent fewer greenhouse gas emissions, according to the town. The engine also runs quieter than the traditional diesel engine, resulting in less noise in neighbourhoods. Find out more at viewroyal.ca.

Mr. Duddy allowed old Mr. Bickerdike to build his garage next door. Over the years, the store has changed hands and grown with each new management. The store and its various owners have always played a central and beneficial role in Metchosin life. – Wendy Mitchell is president of the Metchosin Museum Society.

Early history relived at Fort Rodd Hill Period re-enactors gather for Historical Timelines Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

If you don’t have a time machine, this might be the next best thing. Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site will take you back hundreds or even thousands of years, from

the Roman empire, to the middle ages to early modern history for an up-close and personal look at the lives of our ancestors. “We have lots of different re-enactors from various areas, all coming with their period costumes and uniforms. It is very authentic,” said park

spokesperson Sophie Lauro of the site’s Historical Timelines exhibit and demonstrations, happening today (June 17) through Sunday. “The folks that come and participate have so much knowledge from history that they like to present to our visitors.” Period armourers, weavers, carpenters, bead makers, bucket makers, calligraphers and other set up tents

and other displays and live their lives on site, working with the tools and techniques from long-gone eras. Some even showcase techniques that start with raw materials, providing hands-on experiences for visitors who want to beat their own flax and watch how bread was made centuries ago. Re-enactors are also available to answer questions, as many have a deep and rich understanding of the period they represent. Some visitors even dress up for the period themselves, while others bring antiques from home to ask re-enactors about. “They really tailor the information to the audience that they speak to,” Lauro said, noting that a five year old, for example, would hear a description they could understand. “Some people who come are history

Re-enactors can tailor information to someone looking for something specific or detailed, as well.” Timelines stretch from 122 AD right up to the early 1900s, with various centuries represented in between. The event showcases periods of history in a unique and personal-

ized way the whole family can enjoy. “It’s a true family event. A lot of reenactors bring their own family, so you will see their little kids dressed in middle aged clothing, making butter,” Lauro said. “I think there is something for everyone.” Regular admission

to the Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse National Historic Site applies. Entrance fees are $3.90 for adults, $3.40 for seniors, $1.90 for youth and $9.80 for a family of four. For details, visit pc.gc.ca/fortroddhill or call 250-478-6481. alim@goldstream gazette.com

New View Royal fire hall adds spark to community Pride of place evident during official opening Emily Miller Special to the Gazette

A new era of safety response and technology in View Royal began Saturday with the ribbon cutting for the new public safety building. The construction of the facility, which began last year, was a must for the community, and residents, city council members and invited guests welcomed it with open arms as it was officially opened. “The building is marvellous, I am really glad that they have as much space as they need,” said Beverly Faulks, who has been a part of the View Royal community for 54 years. Having been operational for a few months now, the new fire hall has had people coming through its doors every day to have a look, with visitors ranging from people in the neighbourhood to representatives from other fire departments around Greater Victoria. The building is not only home to the town’s volunteer fire department, it also houses the offices of bylaw enforcement, emergency management and building services; “one-stop shopping for protective services,” said Fire Chief Paul Hurst.

“For the community of View Royal, it has added a great landmark, as the building sends a message that the View Royal Fire Department is prepared and equipped,” Hurst said. Recalling that the idea of creating a new public safety building for the town had been in the works for more than a decade, retired mayor Graham Hill said the first trial for the project was rejected in 1999. “The fast-track method – that was rejected,” he said. “Then we went back to the community and gave them the information that they needed for an informed decision.” Today, the building seems to have become an icon matching what the community of View Royal stands for. “It has function, it has utility, it was a project under budget and yet it fills all those demands that are needed for a very technical station,” Hill said. View Royal Mayor David Screech was a councillor during deliberations around the new hall, which saw residents initially reject a $7.9-million loan for the project in 2012, but then approve borrowing $5.49 million in a referendum that fall. “We have had some difficult times getting it all together with the community, but I’m sure now that everyone is happy to be behind the building and see it here,” he said.

Members of the View Royal Fire Department and invited guests listen to Fire Chief Paul Hurst speak during the ceremonial opening of the new public safety building on Saturday. Hurst said the old fire hall at 283 Island Hwy. was in major need of an upgrade. “It was originally built in 1957. There was no separation between the trucks and work space. We had mice and rats living in the floors,” he recalled. “There was no emergency operating centre. The site was .4 of an acre and there was nowhere to train, park or any place to put guests.” With no heat in the building – the bay floor would sometimes drop to nearly freezing temperatures, Hurst said – firefighters couldn’t stay on site. Public tours of the old facility

during open houses, a mainstay for the department over the years, had to be well timed, added Lt. Robert Marshall, a View Royal firefighter since 2006. “At the old building we had to have the kids sit on the dirty bay floor and we couldn’t do tours in the winter because it was too cold,” he said. The new building gives so much more opportunity for education and fire prevention training for visiting school children, he added. “It’s like night and day. We have carpeted floors, so now all the kids can do the stop, drop, and roll.” At the official ceremony, Esqui-

malt-Royal Roads MLA Maurine Karagianis called the new building “fantastic” and “state-of-the-art.” She echoed Hill’s comments about it taking a long road to get here. Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison added that with the new building, “the community has grown a lot.” One of the most important necessities the new building allows is greater speed and shorter response time to emergency calls. Since the building has moved further north on Island Highway, it is virtually in the dead centre of View Royal. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford girls get it done on home field Lightning fastpitch squad follows up silver medal in Sooke with gold at Centennial Park Make that two and counting. The Langford Lightning under-12 girls softball team earned their second straight tournament medal, rolling over Central Saanich Extreme 13-0 in the championship final Sunday at Centennial Park. The victory was the locals’ third of the day, following big wins over Victoria Carnarvon to open the playoff round and a 14-3 mercy rule win archrival Sooke in the afternoon semifinal. Langford posted a 3-1 record in round robin play to finish up second behind Sooke, who beat the Lightning on Saturday. Following the semifinal loss, Sooke went on to drop a 12-11 decision to Cordova Bay in the bronze medal game. The Lightning’s tournament victory gave them a measure of revenge over their rivals from Sooke, who beat the Lightning for gold in the tournament held in that community a few weekends back. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

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

Sprint cars take over Western Speedway for Strawberry Cup

CDI College’s Construction Electrician Foundation program provides students with the hands-on practical training they need to excel in their new career. Apply today!

Last weekend saw the WILROC winged sprint cars and lite sprits tear up the Western Speedway in Langford on both Friday and Saturday nights for Strawberry Cup weekend. Friday night’s winged sprints saw saw Scott Aumen take the fast qualifying time as he circled the track in a mere 13.918 seconds. He couldn’t manage to take home a win, however, as he finished fourth in both his heat and in the trophy dash. Despite having the best lap time – a 14.593 in lap 25 – he finished two laps back of the field in the main event. That main event was won in a thriller by Matt Mansell, who finished just ahead of Jeff Montgomery in second spot and Robbie Price in third. Paul Verhagen took fourth by a nose in front of Daren Yates. Friday’s trophy dash was taken by Darren Yates, who crossed the line more than two full seconds ahead of Robbie Price in second. The sprint car lites played out similarly on Friday, as Ryan Orchard took the fast time with a lap of 15.952, but also went on to finish fourth both in the trophy dash and main event. That main event was taken by Guy Barrett, who also had the bast lap time during the race (15.719) in lap 13, recording an average speed during that lap of 91.609 mph. He was followed over the line by Jeff Montgomery in second and Marc Parkinson in third. Montgomery took home the trophy dash Friday night less than a half second in front of Dave Emmerson in second. On Saturday, Yates followed his Friday night win in the winged sprints trophy dash with another. Second place went to Mansell, just over a second back. Yates also took home the main event that night, as well, reaching a top speed of 102.776 mph on lap 23 on his way to crossing nearly three seconds ahead of Aumen in second place.

Shamrocks look to add to win streak

Juan de Fuca youth player escort for World Cup final Willway elementary student is excited about her upcoming role Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Kerstina Adams of Langford will be stepping out onto the world’s largest stage in women’s soccer July 5 in Vancouver. The nine-year-old Juan de Fuca under-10 girls division player was one of 22 Lower Island Soccer Association members chosen to serve as pre-game player escorts for teams competing in the FIFA Women’s World Cup championship final at B.C. Place Stadium. Kerstina says her upcoming role will be “very, very exciting.” She also has high hopes for her favourite team at the tournament, which is currently in its second week of play. “I think Canada’s going to

be in the finals and I think they’re going to win,” she says with enthusiasm. She also has a favourite player, Canadian forward Adriana Leon, who Kerstina says is good at dribbling and getting past opponents. The Willway elementary student is pretty clear on her duties during the big game. After going hand-in-hand with a player onto the field before the game, she says, “we get taken to a seat, we get free food and at half time go out with the players again. Then at the end of the game we get a track suit and a bag and some cards,” on which she hopes to get a bunch of autographs. Kerstina’s dad, Tyler Adams, says the family was surprised when her name was drawn to represent

Nine year old Kerstina Adams of Langford is one of 22 Lower Island Soccer Association players who will escort players onto the field before the FIFA Women’s World Cup Soccer championship final in Vancouver.

Thrifty’s GM Dores bidding farewell

www.goldstreamgazette.com • A29

Daniel Palmer Black Press

Changes are in the works at the helm of Thrifty Foods. After 42 years in the grocery industry, general manager Jim Dores will retire in July, and by all accounts, he’ll miss running the Island-born brand. “Grocery shopping is such a mundane, boring task and to see somebody happy with what they’re spend-

ing their money on, that makes me happy. Thrifty Foods was a good fit because that’s their specialty,” Dores said from the Thrifty Foods’ Saanichton headquarters. The Hamilton, Ont. native got his start in groceries in high school, when he got a job at a local grocer putting out a produce rack each morning and taking it down again after class. “I wanted to join the police force, and in those days you had to be

165 pounds to get into cadets. So I joined a company called Oshawa Group which had Food City, and they immediately put me on night shifts. You never put on any weight there,” Dores said, laughing. Sobeys purchased Thrifty Foods in 2007 from Alex Campbell for $260 million. Dores joined the Thrifty Foods team in late-2010, and he maintains the company culture is like nothing he’s ever experienced.

“I think it’s legacy,” Dores said. “I believe it came from Alex Campbell’s vision and the way he liked to do business and it’s so gratifying to see that his legacy has lived on.” Dores will be replaced by Lorne MacLean, a Nova Scotia native who has worked his way up with Sobeys over the past 35 years.
