While access from Spencer Road is barricaded to vehicles, that’s not stopping pedestrians from crossing the highway.

“The ministry has heard concerns from Langford about people crossing the highway at Spencer Road,” said Lisanne Bowness, senior public affairs officer.

Median barriers are in place in the highway with some fencing, but early in 2014 the Ministry of Transportation plans to add higher fencing.

“The median and fence combined will be almost eight feet, as a safety precaution for pedestrians,” said Bowness. “After Spencer Road closed, pedestrian crossings were monitored and over a two month period between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m., on average, five people crossed the highway at Spencer Road a day.”

Langford has asked the Ministry of Transportation several times to provide a pedestrian overpass where crosswalks once were.

“Langford is asking the province to pay for this because it crosses a numbered provincial highway,” said Michelle Mahovlich, Langford director of engineering.

The crosswalks closed in June when the Leigh Road interchange opened.

Pedestrians wanting to cross the Trans Canada Highway must do so at the Leigh Road or Millstream Road interchanges.

“The ministry is committed to working with the City of Langford to assess and address pedestrian safety concerns,” said Bowness. “A pedestrian overpass at Spencer Road was discussed during development of the project, however the ministry and the city agreed not to include it in the project.”

Public invited aboard Malahat

The public is invited to HMCS Malahat from 9 to 10 a.m. today Jan. 1 at 20 Huron St., to celebrate the new year in a unique Canadian tradition, the levee.

The term “levee,” derived from the French se lever (to rise), represents the practice of rising early on the first day of the new year to pay respect to the monarch or the local governor.

2

For many years, the levee was attended only by gentlemen and members of the military and other uniformed services. Today, the levee is less formal and more fun.

For over a decade Malahat has hosted their levee on behalf of local ships and naval shore establishments. Typically more than 100 people attend Malahat’s levee.

The concession and washroom building has had new insulation and exterior siding added.

Additional roofing will be added soon.

Fencing at the baseball fields is complete and work is ongoing on the ball diamond and fields.

Improvement to the baseball fields will cost about $90,000 for the supplies and the Langford Minor Fastball is supplying the labour.

On top of the field upgrades, the city has already upgraded the aging playground.

New equipment, a water park and rubber ground cover were all installed costing about $80,000. reporter@goldstream gazette.com

Transit plans depend on gas tax Daniel Palmer News staff

The Victoria Regional Transit Commission has big plans for 2014.

There’s just one problem: it needs more money to turn those plans into reality.

“We’ve only got three sources of funding – property tax, the fare box and the gas tax,” said VRTC chair Susan Brice.

The first tangible rapid transit development breaks ground along the Douglas Street corridor in 2014 with the installation of rush hour bus lanes.

And while the $1.5-million cost of that project is included in this year’s budget, the commission is waiting for B.C. Transport Minister Todd Stone to respond to a request for a two-cent increase in Capital Region gas tax to fund future expansion.

“We feel we have used property tax and the fare box as significantly as we can right now,” Brice said.

“That’s why we’re asking the province to give us some more gas tax.”

The VRTC currently receives 3.5 cents for every litre of gas sold in Greater Victoria. But with the budget increasing by three per cent this year, new project funding has to come from somewhere, Brice said.

“We’d definitely like to do some expansion, but there’s such a lead time to order new buses,” she said.

“So out of our contingency fund (in 2014), we took sufficient funds to

That will come if we’re successful in our request to the province (for a gas tax increase).”

In the coming year, the VRTC is liaising with Colwood and View Royal as they develop their master transportation plans, installing 33 new bus shelters (including at the Saanichton exchange), and moving forward with expansion of the Uni-

versity of Victoria bus exchange.

Discussions between Saanich, West Shore communities and the province have also begun to create bus priority lanes along the Island Highway and McKenzie Avenue.

Further expansion of bus lanes along Douglas Street through Saanich is still in its infancy, according to a Dec. 2013 VRTC planning report. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Bridge timeline an uncertainty

Don Denton/News staff

Last summer crews installed pilings into the Gorge. The new Craigflower bridge is expected to open this spring.

In the lengthy saga that has been the Craigflower Bridge rebuild project, the only thing that’s safe to assume is there are no definite timelines.

With construction hampered by steel shortages and a seismic redesign in 2013, as well as postponing the project entirely in 2012, closing the chapter that has been the replacement project will be well received by residents and area businesses.

The bridge is slated to open in April or May, but “springtime” is the projected opening date.

Once complete, the $17-million project connecting Saanich and View Royal will be a threelane steel bridge with separated bike lanes and sidewalks. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Langford sisters raise money for family in Philippines

Kyle Wells News staff

When Lyna and Marites Bonifacio, sisters who work at a Langford Subway, heard about the typhoon in the Philippines, their thoughts turned to family.

The women felt helpless when they learned their mother’s home, in a remote village, had been destroyed.

“There’s only floor left,” Lyna said. “They have to start over again.”

Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest storm ever recorded at landfall, slammed into the Philippines in early November, destroying cities and towns and killing more than 6,000 people. Since then there has been much international response and help as the affected areas rebuild.

In an effort to help from afar, the sisters put a jar on the counter at work asking customers to donate what they could to help.

The customers came through and raised $300, which the sisters sent back to their family in the Philippines.

“They were surprised, they were happy,” Lyna said.

The money they raised was intended for their family, who had other ideas. With the help of a third sister who still lives in the Philippines the money was used to buy enough food to put together care packages for upwards of 60 families in their parents’ remote village.

The care packages included rice, sardines and noodles.

“Even though we are victims of the super typhoon, they have the heart to share,” Marites said.

“I’m really amazed,” said Spencer Road Subway owner Vahid Manshadi. “Normally, if you received the money, or I received the money, we’d help ourselves. But they didn’t do that. They reached everybody, which is really amazing.”

While the sisters wish they could be with their family during this hard time, they also believe they have been able to do more good from Canada.

“I’m glad I’m here, to help them,” Lyna said.

Their ultimate plan is to help their mother immigrate to Canada.

The sisters’ greatest wish is to thank the people who came in and donated money to the cause. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

2014, year of the key civic election W

ith actual bridges slated to open or get work underway (Craigflower and Johnston Street respectively) we expect philosophical ones to be built, or burned over the next 12 months.

It is, after all, a municipal election year.

With polarizing issues such as regional sewage treatment and amalgamation garnering support on all sides, this could be the year we see civic “parties” appear.

The Capital Region doesn’t generally see slates vying for roles on city councils, as is the norm in larger urban areas such as Vancouver and Surrey.

But by the time November elections roll around we’ll have had plenty of time to absorb our 2014 municipal tax bill, which will likely be larger in order to pay for sewage infrastructure we won’t use for at least four years.

On the sewage treatment front, factions across the Capital Region are calling for everything from forging on with the plan, to marine environmental reviews, to seeking a deadline extension from the province and offering time for a sober second thought.

This could open the door for a “sewage slate” to dig in its heels and make a bid for council seats across the region under the mandate to fight sewage treatment.

Though there’s currently a lull in the conversation, a resurgence of the A-word will likely appear prior to election time, judging by our online poll last April.

We asked vicnews.com readers: Do you support amalgamation in the Capital Region to reduce the number of municipalities from 13? A resounding 74 per cent of those who responded said yes, there are too many municipalities in the Capital Region.

In August, the Capital Region Municipal Amalgamation Society officially launched a petition seeking support from Greater Victoria residents in hopes of seeing a non-binding amalgamation question on the municipal ballot in 2014.

Will Mr. Floatie resurface in 2014? Will Amalgamation Yes band together to seek seats on area councils?

Yea or nay, this should be a year residents abolish voter apathy in order to get some building done.

The Canada Post announcement that it will wind up home delivery offers a recent example. Is it really so outrageous for the CEO to suggest that walking to the corner is good exercise? When there’s a 24-hour news cycle to fill, it’s a scandal!

How many people know that Canada Post’s unfunded pension liabilities amount to $6.5 billion, as it continues to pay a dwindling workforce to hand out mostly advertising flyers? Should they just keep doing that until they run out of cash? Are taxpayers really expected to maintain another two-tier service that’s only available to selected urban people?

Facts to go with opinions.

Whether it’s the government’s fantasy figures on job creation or the opposition’s arithmetic-challenged child poverty claims, serious problems can’t be understood, much less solved, without defining them accurately.

Submitting government advertising to scrutiny by the Auditor General to make sure it is accurate and non-partisan would be a good place to start.

ary school, said the best part of her job is “meeting students from all different cultures, and watching them grow and develop as individuals.” International students have received a lot of support from teachers, students and ambassadors since the first day of school.

All the ambassadors are volunteers from our school, and many of them are in Ms. Boyte’s class. One day at the second week of school, we went to Fort Rod Hill with ambassadors. We were divided in groups playing a game of finding places and taking photos in Fort Rod Hill, which helped us know and make friends with more people.

Moreover, there are many courses in the school that we don’t have at home, such as drama, film and television, cosmetology, food study, dance and soccer. Acting is one of my favorite classes this semester. We have learned staging, improv, the use of our senses while acting and different acting cat-

egories. I have found acting is a good way to build confidence on stage and present myself, which I would never have a chance to learn in China because we are heavily loaded with academic courses.

Amelie, from Germany, said: “I really like dance. I’ve never really learned how to dance before, because we didn’t have dance class at school. This is something that I like about studying here.

There are classes that aren’t in my home country.”

The exchange program changed my life. If I didn’t come to Victoria, I would have missed a lot of opportunities that I wouldn’t have a chance to do at home. If you are a student who wants to go on an exchange but are unsure, I recommend that you go. An exchange can expand your horizon, deepen your knowledge and most importantly, provide different experiences.

Re: Sally Ann Kettle drive feeling the pinch (News, Dec. 18, ) The Salvation Army kettles are a pleasant memory from my childhood. Dropping my few coins into them at Christmas gave me as much happiness as gifts at that age.

Now that I am older and can offer more support, I am also more aware of the fact that the government is also eager to help.

The government cannot make good choices of charities to support, so they offer to supplement gifts we choose to give. Therefore, if I can afford to give, for example, $100, I write a cheque for $180.

The receipt I get provides me with a tax credit of about $80. Because the kettle attendant cannot give receipts, I no longer use them as a means to contribute.

When we contribute cash to the Mustard Seed food bank at Thrifty Foods, their registers print a receipt, making much larger gifts affordable.

Ideally, there would be a way for a kettle attendant to hand out receipts for larger donations. Because that seems impractical, kettle collections will mostly consist of small contributions, while more affluent donors will send in a cheque.

Take Care Outdoors… in all Seasons!

The eye is somewhat protected against UV rays by the eyelid, the eyebrow, the orbit, the nose and the cheek. However, if you are outdoors a lot, in very strong sunlight, or near water, snow and ice, you need extra protection. Wear a wide brimmed hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen or proper clothing to protect your skin. If you don’t, you may be getting too much UV radiation. If this happens only rarely, it could just mean sore eyes and a painful sunburn lasting a day or two. If you make a habit of not protecting yourself, all year round, you risk developing eye and skin problems when you’re older.

Experts estimate more than half of our UV exposure occurs by the age of 18. Children’s eyes are also at risk because the lenses of their eyes block fewer ultraviolet rays. That’s why young children should play in the shade between 11 am and 3 pm, and always wear hats with wide brims to cover their heads and shade their eyes. Of course, other types of sun protection are important too. Don’t forget sunglasses, sunscreen and proper clothing. Even if the day is hazy or cloudy, you can still get a sunburn from UV radiation.

Teenagers and adults may wish to discuss appropriate types of sunglasses (prescription or non-prescription) with their optometrist. Parents can inquire about sunglasses for young children.

Kaelyn Abrahamson had a unique Christmas wish.

The seven-year-old Colwood girl wanted to start a fundraiser, in fact she’d been asking her parents for a year if she could do it.

“I just wanted to help people and get (sick) kids back with their families,” said Kaelyn.

So her parents helped the John Stubbs Memorial school second-grader organize a poinsettia sale through Hilltop Greenhouses. Kaelyn decided she wanted to raise money for B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver.

After selling 56 poinsettias Kaelyn has pledges for $350.

“I thought I was only going to get $100,” she said.

Dale Collins, owner of Prosperity Planning in Langford bought eight poinsettias after hearing from the family that Kaelyn had raised $350 in the sales.

So as a Christmas surprise, Collins added $350 to her cheque for the eight poinsettias.

“Most kids are not into giving back, they are more interested in sitting on Santa’s knee and asking for presents,” said Collins, who also has a history of making donations to the B.C. Children’s Hospital. “Kaelyn is a pretty special girl.

When she came in my office she was over the top thankful for my donation.”

Now that Kaelyn has a taste for fundraising she has decided to have another fundraiser for the children’s hospital in the spring. Her younger brother Kai

Jays prospect among HarbourCats’ B.C. three HarbourCats begin roster signings Travis Paterson News staff

Toronto Blue Jays prospect Kelly NorrisJones will play his final year of collegiate level summer baseball with the Victoria HarbourCats.

The former Victoria Mariners catcher is entering his junior (third) year with the Illinois Fighting Illini after missing the majority of the 2013 NCAA season with a concussion.

Last week NorrisJones and two more B.C. boys, Nanaimo’s Griffin Andreychuk and Surrey’s Nick Rutchkyj, committed to play

for the HarbourCats in the 2014 West Coast League, woodbat summer league.

“I wanted to come here, it will be my last year of college summer ball and I’ve never played in front of this (Royal Athletic Park) crowd before,” said Norris-Jones, who’s acquired a Bull Durhham-type midwestern baseball accent.

“I followed the HarbourCats while I was playing with Green Bay in the Northwoods League last summer and they were ranked 11th (at one point) among the national summer baseball teams. That’s what I want, to play on a ranked team and have a chance at winning a championship.”

When the HarbourCats season comes to

Surrey’s Nick Rutchkyj, left, Nanaimo's Griffin Andreychuk and Victoria's Kelly Norris-Jones are committed to the play for the HarbourCats in the 2014 West Coast League. an end Norris-Jones will return to the Illini for his final NCAA season.

“I’ll have to bring it

everyday in Victoria, I can’t slack. Hopefully I can show everyone I can do it, and hopefully I can go on to play pro

ball, that’s the dream.”

The 22-year-old is the oldest of seven siblings in Victoria and won the 2010 B.C. Premier Base-

ball League championship with the Victoria Mariners with Austin Russell, who played with the HarbourCats in 2013. His father is HarbourCats marketing executive Brad NorrisJones. Kelly says it’s no big deal as the two never collided the last time Brad was involved with Kelly’s team, as president of the premier Mariners.

“My dad is really supportive and he doesn’t get in the way, he won’t mix baseball and work, he just encourages me and doesn’t get on me about my game,” Kelly said. “We never collided.”

Andreychuk is an infielder from Nanaimo who plays for Seattle University and Nick Rutchkyj is an outfielder from Surrey

who plays for Cuesta College out of San Luis Obispo, Calif.

The Toronto Blue Jays selected NorrisJones in the 50th round of the 2010 draft.

The 2014 HarbourCats’ season starts on the road, June 6 against the Kelowna Falcons, then returns to Royal Athletic Park for the home-opener on June 10 against the Cowlitz Black Bears.

Real gossip HarbourCats’ new vice president and general manager Jim Swanson said Alex Real’s dynamic 2013 season with the HarbourCats has the University of New Mexico coaching staff eager to send three or four players to the HarbourCats. sports@vicnews.com

In 2014, the Victoria Royals will win the franchise’s first ever playoff series.

I know I’m not going out on a limb here but shoot me if I’m wrong, or, at least throw some over priced Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre popcorn at me.

The Royals were fourth in the Western Hockey League’s Western conference as of last week, which would earn them home advantage in the playoffs. As a top-four seed, they will be the favourite on paper. But then, four is a dangerous playoff position, facing the No. 5 seed. On the other hand the Royals very well might be the fifth seed as the fifthplace Seattle Thunderbirds rode a massive 9-1 streak at the break.

Either way, the Royals will hopefully have Joe Hicketts back
