Slippery when wet Langford firefighters stand next to an overturned vehicle on the edge of Leigh Road next to the B.C. Ambulance Service station late Sunday afternoon. The driver, who suffered non-life threatening injuries, lost control on the slippery roadway coming down from the Trans Canada Highway. He was taken to hospital after being helped out of the wrecked Volkswagen by a police officer who arrived before paramedics. The man was ticketed for driving too fast for the conditions.

Looking ahead to Parkway completion Connecting Sooke Road with TCH should alleviate traffic flow through the West Shore Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

What began as a plan a dozen or so years ago took major strides toward completion last week with the announcement that the West

Shore Parkway extension between the Trans-Canada Highway and Sooke Road is moving forward. The project has been a part of Langford’s master transportation plan, an Official Community Plan review and the Capital Regional District’s regional transportation strategy through the process, said Michelle Mahovlich, the City’s director of engineering. It was also on the radar during the original rezoning for Westhills, she added. “We are looking forward to making one of the last major connec-

tions through the city,” she said. “Our mayor, council and staff have worked very hard throughout this process. It’s good news for traffic flow; it will create a lot of jobs in our community and we’re excited it’s moving ahead.” The $22.5-million project, a partnership between the federal and provincial governments and the City of Langford, involves connecting Highway 1 to Highway 14 with a 3.5-kilometre stretch of two lanes, with the integration of a middle turning lane where required. Other aspects of the

roadway include bike lanes on both sides, sidewalks in residential areas, street lights, transit stops, boulevard medians and the installation of sewer and stormwater infrastructure.

Combined with the announcement of the construction of an interchange at the intersection of McKenzie Avenue and Admirals Road at the Trans Canada Highway, the two upgrades should go a long way toward addressing commuter concerns and improving the flow of traffic and safety between Victoria and Langford, one of the fastest-growing communities in Canada, as well as upIsland.

Fire highlights problems with mobile home park in transition Katherine Engqvist

The scene at 697 Hoylake Ave. on Thursday night lit up the neighbourhood as fire tore through a mobile home park slated for development.

News Gazette staff

Acts of vandalism aren’t new to an abandoned mobile home park in Langford and nearby residents want some action. Last week, fire tore through a property at 697 Hoylake Ave., spreading to two vacant structures. “We routinely see vandals stripping the trailers,” said Terry Rowsell, whose property neighbours the mobile home park

routinely spots people salvaging whatever they can from the units, ripping down decks, roofs, and even kitchen cabinets, situations which have prompted several calls to the authorities. “Once my neighbour called and said someone was in my backyard.” The property has little security outside of a “no trespassing” sign, he said, which doesn’t act as much of a deterrent. “There are people over there quite a lot, usually in the middle of the night.” Earlier this year, the property was rezoned to allow for a mix of residential and commercial development. It was purchased by the Molnar Group, a Vancouver-based developer, at the end of April. Owner Andre Molnar said a condition of the sale was that the property be left vacant. He had been working with building crews last week before the fire, to properly secure the area with a metal fence. Langford firefighter and safety inspector Paul Obersteller said on Friday, “we’re

working with the lot owners to secure it now.” He said witnesses saw a group of youth fleeing the scene, who were later located by West Shore RCMP. It is believed the fire started from people playing with lighters. “There’s a public safety issue with these trailers,” said Rowsell. He wants measures taken even if there are no immediate plans to develop the site. “The sooner that trailer park gets ripped out the better.” “We’re working on that,” said Molnar, who expects the mobile homes to start being dismantled in the next three to four weeks. “It’s more complicated than you think.” The disposal of hazardous materials, investigation into which began before last week’s fire, was delaying the process, he said. Molnar’s company plans to build a 172-unit apartment building on the property. Subject to obtaining permits, he expects to break ground on the new development in mid- to late-September. katie@goldstream gazette.com

Glen Lake Road to see speed-reducing measures Residents traffic concerns heard, measures slated for completion by September Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Langford council agrees with residents of Glen Lake Road, who continue to be concerned about the speed and volume of traffic flowing through their neighbourhood. Council voted in favour of installing traffic calming measures between Sooke Road and the roundabout at Parkdale Drive at last week’s council meeting. “We appreciate when residents take the time to write down their concerns,” said Langford Coun. Lilian Szpak. These concerns, voiced over the past few years and more recently in emails asking the City to install traffic calming measures to reduce

Katherine Engqvist/News Gazette staff

Council voted in favour of adding traffic calming medians to the busy Glen Lake Road. One of the two medians is going to be installed at roughly the area pictured above. City officials hope to have the project completed before the new school year. speeding, prompted council to address the issue last week. Back in 2009, a traffic study was done before and after the traffic light at Sooke and Happy Valley roads was installed. It found approximately 15 per cent of traffic on Glen Lake Road was using it as a short cut to avoid the light. In more recent years, Westhills

has developed and Glen Lake Park has seen improvements, both of which meant increases to the traffic flow in the area, a problem only expected to get worse with continued development. “It’s a pretty well-travelled corridor,” said Szpak, noting council decided to take action now, partly due to the upcoming Belmont

school opening. “We will always put our focus on safety,” especially when regarding routes to schools, she said. After an initial assessment, the City’s engineering department found two locations where medians, similar to the one in the 2700-block of Peatt Rd., could be installed as a traffic-calming measure while minimizing interference with driveways. However, the current road width did not support the already installed bike lanes with the addition of medians. “To work properly the road should not be widened,” said Michelle Mahovlich, director of engineering. Staff laid out two options for council to consider. The first, estimated to cost $14,000, was to not widen the road and have one short shared lane on either side of the median. The second, estimated at $24,000, was to widen the road and allow the bike lanes to continue unbroken at the median. Council also had the option of doing nothing at this time, but approved option one.

Mahovlich said that two medians would be installed at roughly 3114 and 3161 Glen Lake Rd., where they wouldn’t interfere with anyone’s driveway. She said construction is scheduled to be completed before school starts in September. Szpak, whom often rides her bike in the area, describes Glen Lake Road as a “long undulating ribbon of a road.” She said the best option for the road would be to break up the sight lines and force drivers to slow down. “It’s good practice to try and break up the road.” “Often it’s a perception of speeding that you have,” she said, adding that no recent studies have been done to document speeding. “The RCMP can’t be there 24-7 monitoring it.” She suggested that if residents are concerned about speeding in their neighbourhood, they could arrange to borrow portable speed boards, which display a passing car’s speed and act as a deterrent, reminding drivers to slow down. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Horgan’s Heroes: NDP leader takes stock of where party is headed Langford resident John Horgan likes the fresh-faced look of his party Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

John Horgan is leaning heavily on a group of young guns to build momentum and position his party to ride away with an election win in 2017. Horgan, leader of the B.C. New Democratic Party and MLA for the Juan de Fuca riding anchored by his home city of Langford, has given extra responsibility to an energetic group of six or seven “youngsters,” by political standard at least, many of them under 40 years of age. “It goes against the grain historically,” Horgan said during a lengthy interview in his constituency office in Langford. “But I said when I ran for the leadership that it was time for the younger generation in our party to step up and be given more responsibility, and

that’s what we’ve done.” He cites NDP Deputy House Leader Michelle Mungall, 37, as a great example of the party’s new direction and focus. He lauded her efforts as opposition critic for Social Development, where she was able to get the government to do an about-face on clawing back support payments from single parents. “She brought in people to tell their stories and the government changed its policy. That’s the opposition’s role, and even our critics would say we’ve done a good job of it.” Horgan also had plenty of praise for Melanie Mark, a “dynamo” who is earmarked to replace longtime MLA Jennie Kwan in what Horgan considers the safest NDP riding in B.C. “She’s energetic, intelligent and has a very diverse upbringing,” Horgan said. “If she gets elected she would be the first First Nations woman elected to the legislature.” Horgan believes his extensive sports background has played a key role in re-energizing the “disheartened” party. “I’ve been the

best player on a team, cut from a team and everything in between.” He likes the look of this NDP team, and keeping the experience of the older faction has created a balance the public appreciates, he said. Horgan, who has represented the Juan de Fuca riding for 10 years, admitted he was initially reluctant to run for the leadership following the party’s stun-

ning, crushing defeat in the 2013 provincial election. Despite the NDP enjoying a sizeable lead in the polls late in the campaign, the Liberals under Christy Clark came from behind to win by a comfortable margin. The NDP believed victory was imminent and made the mistake of trying to be all things to all people, Horgan said. That, coupled with what he called a “poorly run”

campaign, were the main factors in the defeat. “It was a textbook example of the old adage that campaigns matter. The Liberals were doing anything to keep power. They played the LNG card, promised a $100 billion property fund, no debt, 100,000 jobs – and Clark is an excellent campaigner.” Horgan took the opportunity to point out, however, that the provincial debt has actually gone up in the past three years under Clark, more than any other time in the province’s history. With the next provincial election still 22 months away, Horgan said he feels optimistic but admitted it will be a tough battle against Clark, if she decides to run again. “The key is to continue building strong relationships and being available to listen to people, whatever their political stripes,” he said. “That goes a lot further that some catch phrase on the side of a bus.” Part 2 of this interview, on the Juan de Fuca riding, follows in Friday’s Gazette. news@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore RCMP were on Ocean Boulevard on Thursday with the help of Alexa’s Bus, a mobile roadside safety command centre, to target impaired drivers. The distinctive bus aims to deter drivers from operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

Alexa’s Bus aids counter-attack efforts RCMP use high-tech vehicle to help catch impaired drivers Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

West Shore RCMP and the Capital Regional District Integrated Road Safety Unit (CRD IRSU) were out in full force last week targeting impaired drivers. This time they hit the streets with Alexa’s Bus, a custom-built mobile road safety unit that is fully equipped to collect evidence and process impaired drivers at roadside locations. Officers used the bus for enforcement at two different locations last week. These efforts saw one Criminal Code impaired by drug charge, one 24 hour prohibition, one prohibited driver, and one driver caught without insurance. There were

also eight ticketed violations and seven warnings issued. “It’s a 33-foot-long mobile billboard,” said West Shore RCMP spokesman Const. Alex Berube. “It’s hard to miss.” He hoped the bus acted as tool for prevention and a reminder to not drive while impaired. Four-year-old Delta resident Alexa Middelaer was struck and killed by a drunk driver while feeding a horse on the side of the road back in 2008. Alexa’s aunt, who was also hit at the time, was severely injured and left permanently disabled. In 2011, the Middelaer family launched a fundraising campaign to purchase the state-ofthe-art mobile road unit known as Alexa’s Bus. The vehicle is

painted red in one corner and blue in another, blending to purple in the middle, which was Alexa’s favourite colour. The bus features the most advanced blood-alcohol screening technology, a dark room for evaluating suspected drugimpaired drivers, three mobile computer workstations, two private rooms for suspects to contact legal counsel, a GPS tracking alarm system, video surveillance and a recording system. The bus is powered by a hybrid electrical system and a backup clean diesel generator. It also has a solar-charging system on the roof. Alexa’s Bus is a requested service that is shared among RCMP units across B.C. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

The grant also includes a dual left-turn lane on the Trans Canada for northbound traffic turning left onto West Shore Parkway. While no rail service is currently using the old E&N tracks in the area, which run next to Langford Lake and the Kettle Creek neighbourhood, a level crossing will be created for the new road, much like those

already in place on Station Avenue, Peatt Road and Veteran’s Memorial Parkway in Langford. The City’s one-third share of the project costs, roughly $7.5 million, will be covered through its road cost development charge program.

The construction schedule, which was submitted with Langford’s grant application, calls for the work to be completed by the end of 2017 or early 2018, she said. “The city plans on expediting that timeline as much as possible.” news@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford fire dept. women’s auxiliary celebrates 65 years Community support group predates the first Langford fire hall Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

One group of women has helped build Langford’s fire department from the beginning. In fact, those women have been standing up for their community for 65 years with one goal in mind: providing assistance to Langford’s firefighters and their families whenever and wherever possible. Since its formation in 1950, the Women’s Auxiliary of the Langford Volunteer Firefighters Association has contributed more than just baked goodies to raise funds for the cause – they helped purchase and build the first fire hall. “What an amazing group,” said Langford fire chief Bob Beckett. “They’re a very large component of the fire department family.” He said they had just retired some members with over 50 years of commitment to the service. Celebrating 65 years this September, the Women’s Auxiliary has undertaken a number of projects and fundraising endeavours. The fruits of their labours are the purchase of new kitchen equipment, televisions for the lounges and firefighting equipment, as well as helping with the renovations of all three fire halls over the decades. Beckett said that while the purpose of the group has shifted over the years, and equipment purchases are now the responsibility of the municipality, the group has looked for new ways to contribute to the community, establishing bursaries for firefighters to further their post secondary education. He said that the group also helps with the department’s open house in October every year and this fall

the women will be cooking up a storm, providing a free pancake and sausage breakfast, as well as a hotdog lunch. “They’ll feed hundreds of families,” he said. “We’re just fortunate that we’re still needed,” said Auxiliary vicepresident Kim Engelstad. She has been volunteering for five years, which she said didn’t compare to the service time of more senior members, some of whom have dedicated up to 54 years to the organization. “I wanted to give back,” said Engelstad, who has a medical background, but didn’t want to volunteer at a hospital. “This was an avenue for meeting like-minded women.” Those women have been strengthening the foundation of Langford’s fire program for a very long time. Back in 2004, a founding member, Barbara “Babs” Poole, wrote a letter to the group, outlining how it all got started. Her husband, the fire chief, would phone asking if she could bring sandwiches for the crew when they were out on an extended call and needed to eat. In 1949, she convened a meeting with the other wives and a year later they formed the Women’s Auxiliary. They not only made lunches, but they fundraised in every way they could think of, holding bake sales and strawberry teas. Those efforts contributed to the purchase of the first firefighting jackets and helped build Langford’s first fire hall. “At one point it was one of the wives who drove the ambulance,” said Engelstad, adding they had helped fundraise for that very ambulance. Many of the women would help with the day shift because it was usually understaffed while most of their husbands worked in town. “They needed help,” she said, and the women were happy to provide it.

The Women’s Auxiliary has been supporting the Langford fire department for 65 years. While the types of services they offer may have changed over the years, the need still remains. These days, the Women’s Auxiliary offers slightly different services. They still provide meals and offer assistance for families that are going through a tough time due to illness or loss, but they now also offer bursaries for firefighters to further their skills and training through postsecondary education. The group counts about 14 active members, but the numbers can swell to upwards of 25 at times, Engelstad said. The efforts of former members have not been forgotten. After extensive research and the help of the Canadian Firefighters magazine, the group discovered

it may be the oldest existing Firefighters Women’s Auxiliary in all of Canada. Through their research, they have compiled a list of 277 names of former members and are working on tracking down as many as

possible, with the plan to invite them to a celebration tea taking place on Sept. 27. Former members can email or call Kim Engelstad, kimengelstad@gmail.com, 250-474-2699. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Traffic solutions are much needed With the West Shore continuing to be one of the fastest-growing areas of the province, it’s not surprising that announcements of funding these days are mostly related to controlling traffic in and around the area. West Shore residents commonly get stuck in slow-moving traffic, whether it’s on the Trans-Canada Highway heading into town to or from work, driving down Jacklin Road around quitting time, or heading out Sooke Road at that same time. We admire residents of our area, however, for their ingenuity. Vehicles jamming the righthand turn lane at McKenzie Avenue and the TCH? Go straight down Admirals Road and turn right at Island Highway in View Royal. Westbound traffic crazy on the TCH? Some try veering onto Burnside Road West and out to Helmcken Road before ducking down to the highway. Believe us, we’ve seen westbound drivers try them all. And the glut is going to get worse before it gets better. Last week’s announcement of provincial and federal funding to build an interchange at McKenzie Avenue/Admirals Road and the Trans-Canada Highway was long overdue. But that project will no doubt cause slowdowns as it moves through the construction phase, which is not likely to be finished until 2018 or beyond. As for the Westshore Parkway expansion through west Langford, it’ll no doubt take up a certain amount of traffic passing through Langford and Colwood to get to the TCH, but we question whether it will affect much of the eastbound downtown commute. Big-money projects like those announced last week will no doubt make an impact and deserve to have the trumpets blaring in celebration. But it’s the more localized problem areas that really need addressing, such as the Millstream bridge over the highway, Jacklin Road, Sooke Road and other arterial roads in our growing area that affect how quickly people can get home or get around our West Shore communities. Address those and the locals will be cheering. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

The U.S. has long complained about B.C.’s cheap Crown land stumpage and low domestic log prices in general, viewing them as a subsidy to lumber production. Indeed, this whole protection apparatus is designed to stimulate domestic milling, although it doesn’t seem to be working. The main investment by B.C. forest companies recently has been buying southern U.S. sawmills. The coastal industry has maintained that profits from log exports are keeping logging alive, paying for the harvest and processing of logs in B.C. With Pacific trade talks in the background, pushed hard by U.S. President Barack Obama, the latest Canada-U.S. lumber agreement is due to expire in October. It will be more difficult to defend what University of Alberta economist Jack Mintz calls a “Soviet-style approach to price determination.” B.C. used to do something similar to this with wine, protecting a backward industry cranking out mostly god-awful plonk.

Variety of education stories appreciated I want to thank the Goldstream News Gazette for all of the articles they have done this year on West Shore education. I appreciated the explanation of how the graduation percentages are not really accurate and why, highlights on specific schools like WestShore Centre for Learning and Training, showing dedicated teachers spending their own money to make the learning engagement and environment a place our children want to be and updates on the new schools. “It takes a village to raise a child” is an old saying, but it still holds true today. The schools need a community to participate in fundraisers, be guest speakers/ presenters and give options for field trips to give our next generation a rounded view of the world they live in. They won’t just live in a community, they’ll be responsible for it and we want them to understand and appreciate it.

Tough love a better plan for city’s tent dwellers Should the “tent city” project be allowed in public parks in Victoria? No. Their taxpayers should not be forced to pay for something they do not believe in. Let the supporters pay for the idea. The supporters should be given the option to take in some of the homeless in to their own homes and then share with them the ideas from a “good home.” This is what I would call help. But definitely, this group of people can not stay together in the public parks; it won’t work. Most of them

were not born with addiction and mental health problems. They did it to themselves. They did not know how to say “no” to drugs and alcohol. Do they deserve a second chance? Yes. But the Band-Aid won’t help. Some of the homeless with mental health problems need to be institutionalized under tough watch. For others, “boot camp” is a better idea. Taxpayers will have no problem supporting such projects. Stefan Mieczkowski Langford

It’s like a revolving door at the Keane household in Colwood. No sooner did older brother Patrick finish off at the World Under-23 Rowing Championships in Plovdiv, Bulgaria, then younger sibling Liam heads off to train for the upcoming Junior World Championships in Rio de Janeiro. The brothers, who rowed for St. Andrew’s secondary through the school year and climb in boats with the Victoria City Rowing Club in the spring and summer, are taking their game to the next level rowing for Canada. Patrick, who won Rowing Canada’s 2014 junior male sculler of the year and will row for the University of Victoria Vikes next season, was part of the ‘B’ final-winning Canadian men’s lightweight quadruple sculls crew last week in Bulgaria. Canada was less than a second off making the A final. Meanwhile, Liam, who is only going into Grade 11 at St. Andrew’s is training this week in Ontario until heading to Rio for the junior worlds, Aug. 4 to 9. Coming off a successful winter-spring season where he made the podium at every regatta, from the Brentwood and Shawnigan regattas to high school nationals, he is excited to test his mettle at the world juniors. “I’d love to win a medal, but being (just out of) Grade 10 I have to be realistic,” said Liam, part of

a young eights crew with no Grade 12 rowers. “I’m going to try and be a sponge and learn a lot and bring that back for next year. I’m looking forward to learning how to race internationally, I want a really good result, but that isn’t that top priority. I’m looking forward to developing as athlete.” This season was a question mark for the talented younger brother. Following a successful Royal Henley Regatta last summer, he had knee surgery in November to repair a bone spur, but got back in the boat in December. “I said to myself, why not try out for the junior national team?” Liam said. “But throughout the year my scores got pretty good and I got faster.” That speed helped him win the U-17 division at the indoor nationals to start this season. He followed with a second-place finish with the men’s U17 eights crew at the Brentwood Regatta and a win with Patrick in the quad event – older brother won gold in the U19 singles. The Shawnigan Regatta saw Liam part of the winning eights and quad boats and the siblings took second in U19 men’s doubles, an event they had only practised once before, Liam said. “It was a lot of fun racing with him this season,” he added of rowing with Patrick. After winning the U17 singles at the high school nationals on the same course as the Henley, Liam rowed time trials for junior nationals the day after and made his way into the top four, which surprised him. “It was a super rush. I didn’t expect to do that well for Grade 10, going up against Grade 11s and 12s,” he said. The goal is now a reality, and he’ll have his chance to reach for the next rung on the rowing ladder next week. The busy summer continues after that, with the brothers, along with fellow West Shore rower Emma Gribbon of Langford, set to compete for B.C. at the Western Canada Summer Games in Fort MacMurray, Alta. Aug. 14 to 16. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Shamrocks clinch first With the surging Salmonbellies nipping at their heels, the Victoria Shamrocks made it official Friday at The Q Centre, routing Burnaby 14-4 to clinch top spot and home floor advantage for the Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. The win pushed the Shamrocks’ record to 13-4, enough to prevent New West (11-6), 9-7 winners over Victoria last Thursday, from overtaking them with one game remaining for both teams. Rhys Duch led the Shamrocks’ charge with four goals and four assists Friday, while Corey Small had a seven-point game. Victoria plays its final regular season game this Friday (July 31, 7:45 p.m.) at home against Langley. The playoffs are slated to start next week. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Langford volleyballers snag silver Zone tournament sees Island U15 side shine Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Sometimes settling for silver means more than taking second place, considering the competition. A team of 12 players from Vancouver Island and the Central Coast, including five from Langford, recently earned a hard-fought silver medal at a Volleyball B.C. zone tournament. Eight under-15 girls teams from across the province competed July 18 and 19 at Harry Jerome Sports Centre in Burnaby. The Zone 6 Island/Coast

Members of the Zone 6 team (Island, Central Coast), including five from Langford, pose on the ferry with their silver medal from a regional under-15 girls volleyball tournament on the mainland. team beat Zone 5 Vancouver/ Squamish in three sets in the semifinal (25-15, 11-25, 15-13), before losing the final to Zone 3 Fraser Valley, 25-17, 25-22. It’s quite an accomplishment when you take into

account that the teams on the mainland have a much larger pool of players to draw from and more access to quality practice time as a team, said Joanna May, proud mother of two Zone 6 players.

“They battled hard and played some incredible volleyball,” she said. “The girls showed a lot of heart and earned respect from players and coaches on the mainland.” May’s daughters, Hannah, 14 and Gracie, 13 – an underage player selected as team captain – were among five players from Langford on the Zone 6 team, the others being Savannah Purdy, 15, Sydney Belton, 15, and Taylee Pomponio, 13, comprise the other players from Langford. That group won back-toback provincial titles in 2014 and 2015 as part of the Victoria Volleyball Association’s West Shore club team. Langford’s Miranda Cyr, 15, is an alternate. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Tolerance to bright light

This shot of a butterfly gently resting on lavender at Madrona Creek, just off Latoria Road in Colwood, was captured by Colwood resident Doug Morris. We like how the purple lavender contrasts nicely with the bright yellow butterfly. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every week we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo

considered for publication, simply email us a highresolution .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!

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