SERVING THE BEST SUSHI ON THE WESTSHORE SINCE 2007 737 Goldstream Ave Beside Station House Pub

Area residents Terry Power, left, Etta Connor, Sandy Munro, Philomene Jondreau, Pauline Power and Stephanie Parsons watch traffic go by on Goldstream Avenue, where a woman was killed in a traffic accident in February. The group want the City of Langford to take steps to slow traffic coming off the highway along the west end of Goldstream Avenue and through their neighbourhood. One option the city is looking at is closing Goldstream Avenue and shifting the off ramp to Leigh Road.

Speed issue solutions moving slowly, residents say Langford looking at options for Goldstream Ave. Arnold Lim News staff

Residents on the west end of Goldstream Avenue are concerned. With fast traffic coming off an exit ramp from the Trans Canada Highway onto the western end of Langford’s central roadway, residents worry that if changes are not made, the potential exists for

more accidents like the one that claimed the life of Meesha ChanGrubisic in February. “The issues are speed, not the road, because of the exit ramp on the Trans Canada,” Etta Connor said. “We are faced with large (volume of) traffic on this street that has no shoulders, no proper parking area along the road and no sidewalks. The traffic can go 50 (kilometres per hour) even though there is a recommendation to slow down.” Connor said that in the three years she’s lived in the 1200-block of Goldstream Ave., a resident pulling out of their driveway was

T-boned by another vehicle, a cat was run over and a pedestrian on the street has been killed. She doesn’t want to see any more traffic-related incidents. “When we drive out of our driveways now, it is victimizing. We live in a lovely area we want to keep it safe. It is (about) safety and security.” City of Langford director of engineering Michelle Mahovlich said council is aware of the concerns and has been carefully considering the options, but the answers are not as simple as they may seem. “It is not an easy road to work

Some choices are hard.

with in the current configuration,” she said. “The homes come right on the road right of way. Any improvements removes on-street parking – or there is no room to do any improvements.” Mahovlich said she has considered the options and has been in conversation with the Ministry of Transportation about changes that would see a southbound off-ramp at the Leigh Road Interchange constructed instead and see the Goldstream Avenue access closed. That would, in turn, trigger a number of other changes, including construction of an accelera-

tion lane on the Trans Canada Highway in the southbound lane for vehicles turning right/south onto the highway from Westshore Parkway. In addition, Spencer Road would be closed completely at the TCH, making it a full cul-de-sac along with Goldstream Avenue. The only issue is that it will all take time. “It is the City’s hope it would take place fairly soon. Unfortunately we can’t give a specific date,” Mahovlich said.

Liam Tauson admits he hasn’t always shown up at school. Even when the Grade 12 Belmont secondary student did attend, he was often late and didn’t always enjoy being there. Things changed when the carpentry program opened up in his second semester this year. “I have always been more hands on, wanting to be outside … Whenever I am inside just sitting around for hours and hours, I lose interest,” he said. “Here you don’t lose interest, there is always things to do and you always learn. (I) definitely didn’t give any effort into school, so this is really good. I learn a fair amount of new skills starting a first-year apprenticeship. I’m getting opportunities I wouldn’t get at school.” He has set his goals now and hopes to get his Red Seal designation in carpentry. He’s grateful for the opportunity to take a more hands-on approach to his education. In recent months he’s worked as a labourer on the new Belmont school site, a job which has helped him focus and improve his life skills. The threat of getting fired or losing his job and eduction is

The introduction at Belmont of the Trades Awareness Skills and Knowledge (TASK) program last fall is another way the school is offering students an alternative to the traditional curriculum. Principal Ray Miller said every student is different and he’s excited the new situation seems

to be working for Tauson. “It has reached the point where right now we offer these programs created for young people like Liam,” Miller said. “We are trying to create more value to learning, where what you do translates into something that works in your adult life – not that it hasn’t always been.” Please see: School trades program, Page A4

Neighbourhood safety begins at home West Shore RCMP look to boost Block Watch numbers Arnold Lim News staff

A safer neighbourhood could be closer than you think. There are 15 Block Watch neighbourhoods established throughout the West Shore, but the RCMP is looking to further open the lines of communication with the public in the area and urge the public to help limit preventable crime. Closer ties between neighbours can make a difference in making communities safer, said Const. Emma Rutledge with the West Shore RCMP’s community policing section. “The summer months may increase crime and we are looking to get the word out to get to get more Block Watch groups out there,” she said.

The well-known program helps the public learn how to best secure their houses and watch out for those of their neighbours, making streets and neighbourhoods less prone to criminal activity. Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz said a little bit of knowledge can go a long way toward preventing crime. Simple actions such as trimming trees and shrubs so doors and windows are visible to neighbours is a good place to start, she said. The posting of signs indicating that homes and streets are part of a Block Watch program have also proven to be a deterrent to potential criminals, she added. “A thief is going to be enticed more by that house of opportunity,” Rochlitz said. “If someone has taken the time and effort to say I have taken this program, I believe in this program, I want you to know about it, it is that one more piece of prevention that maybe sends (thieves) off.” Homes are targeted during this time of the year, when people

He said it’s been an eyeopening learning experience. “We haven’t had any serious incidents, as far as I know. It has been pretty good so far,” he said. There have been unexpected side benefits for Rad as well, not least of which is lower home insurance rates. “It goes beyond preventing theft and break-ins. It unites the community and helps in other aspects as well,” he said. “You become a large family and everyone watches out for each other.” All in all, he has enjoyed being a part of the program and highly recommends it to anyone wondering about getting involved.

because of school,” he said. “They like it and get to see all the different (tradesmen). At school they have their teacher it’s a completely different atmosphere. (This) is about working hard, showing up on time and not being afraid of breaking a sweat.” Leslie, 28, understands Tauson’s situa-

tion. He, too, found his path through a trades program in high school. Ten years later, he is the foreman on one of the biggest construction projects in the West Shore. “I did that program. I was one of the first to do the apprenticeship program as a student (in Haida Gwaii) for the same reason. I knew as

a kid I was going to be doing this,” he said. Tauson said it was the right call at the right time. “It is great because this is an actual job. If it wasn’t for this I probably would have screwed myself at school. I can actually focus here, because I never did in school.” alim@vicnews.com

OUR VIEW

Cancer stories keep on coming Whether you’re young or old, rich or poor, or belong to one ethnic group or another, it’s pretty much certain you’ve been touched by cancer. It forces us to take a deep breath, wonder what the future holds and walk gingerly toward it, hoping for a positive outcome. Hitting hardest, though, are cancers affecting young people around us. West Shore residents are likely familiar with the stories of Langford’s Zack Downey and Hannah Day, each of whom faced their own battle with the disease. Sadly Zack, an outstanding athlete who dreamed of one day playing college baseball, lost his fight at 18 against non-Hodgkins lymphoma last month. Mourners at his memorial last week told of how he kept a positive outlook virtually until the end. The personal stories of Zack were both sad and inspiring. No doubt the more than 1,000 people at The Q Centre would rather have been celebrating some athletic exploit than the tooshort life of a fine young man. Four-year-old Hannah, whose up-and-down state of health has put her parents and those close to the Day family through a roller coaster of emotions, appears to be on the upswing again as she receives treatment for childhood leukemia. We hope for the best and continually improving health. Those among the healthy who would fight this emotionally draining disease are out virtually all the time in our communities. Their activities range from pink ribbon month targeting breast cancer to the Walk for Dads to support prostate cancer patients and research into a cure. West Shore RCMP Staff Sgt. Steve Wright, a rider in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock this fall, had a fundraiser last week. He was joined by two brave souls who had their heads shaved for the cause, which is helping get kids with cancer to Camp Goodtimes. Cancer sucks any time, but especially when it strikes our children. You may wish to try imagining how the Downey and Day families have felt in recent months when you’re considering where to put your money this year. What do you think?

exposed to life outside school for a while, it’s fairly simple. The job market out here in the real world is tough. And here’s how the real world evaluates a teaching job. Start with 189 working days, each nine hours long as per the accepted definition, and the top-heavy seniority list that places the average teacher salary at around $72,000 a year. That works out to $42.32 an hour, plus a suite of benefits that most private sector employees can only dream about, starting with three months of prime-time vacation. I am occasionally lectured by teachers that the job goes far beyond five hours in the classroom and an additional four hours a day preparing and marking. They throw out different estimates, variously defined. Alas, it’s a salaried job, and we salaried employees in the real world don’t waste a lot of time counting hours. Here’s the work, here’s the deadline, here’s the pay. Take it or leave it. Consider another union demand that seems to be just another thinly disguised raise. The BCTF wants a large increase in preparation time for elementary school. There are no duties being added here. For this one item, government negotiators calculate the cost to taxpayers at $86.2 million every year by the fifth year of the BCTF proposal.

LETTERS Pipeline move timing poor for lake users Re: Pipeline move to boost parking off Parkway (Gazette, June 20) Langford is putting construction ahead of taxpayers and closing a Langford Lake access for the entire summer instead of doing the road work during the other 10 months of the year when the lake is not used. It is unacceptable that the new lake is being closed to all Langford Parkway access between July 2 and Aug. 30, when there is absolutely no need. The suggestion to use Glen Lake, which is full of weeds and toxins, is not a safe or clean alternative and you cannot even see the lake bottom for the grime. I encourage everyone who uses Langford Lake regularly in the summer to email Langford’s engineering department and ask that they move the construction start back to September, so residents can finally use the new park that was just created.

Vehicular noisemakers not welcome in city I wonder if anyone else is bothered by the frequent excessive vehicle noise in downtown Langford?

With the many advances in vehicle technology have come concurrent advances in muffler systems. Yet there continues to be those who must either be deaf or suffer some further deficiency that drives them to make as much vehicle noise as possible. Noise so loud it triggers car alarms and rattles windows. One can only assume these people suffered childhood neglect so serious that they now must turn to their motorcycles and cars to garner attention. Included in that group of attention seekers are those with auto sound systems that render impossible any conversation within a block of their vehicles. The argument that “noise saves lives” is vacuous at best and nothing more than a convenience to its proponents. To all of them: keep your music (if that’s what it is) inside your own car and get a muffler. Shirley Nazar Langford

Our school woes pale in comparison to others There is an ugly and protracted battle going on between B.C.’s teachers and provincial government. As predictable as those conflicts are, so must follow endless public hand-wringing about the fate of the children and

the potential dire impacts of a disrupted education. The majority of the world can only look at our situation and think: “We should be so lucky.” Currently, 57 million primary grade kids are out of school. Barely half of all countries are expected to provide primary education by next year. Yet it used to be much worse: due to the efforts of the Global Partnership for Education (GPE) and donors like Canada, since 1999 the number of uneducated children worldwide has been halved. A good example is Afghanistan: the number of children attending school has gone from one million to 11.5 million and almost half are girls. But the need is enormous. Later this month the GPE is slated for renewed funding and is facing an annual shortfall of $26 billion. Canada needs to double its current commitment of $60 million if the Partnership is to achieve its goal. Compared to B.C., the challenges facing education in the rest of the world are far more dire. But while B.C.’s education issues are complex, this one is very simple. The Harper government doubling its commitment will help ensure that GPE dollars reach those final 57 million kids.

Taking a bite out of youth homelessness

Ronald McDonald House BC is growing. ®

Home Depot customers contribute to local housing agency Kyle Slavin News staff

The new Ronald McDonald House BC opens in June. A home away from home for seriously ill children receiving treatment at BC Children’s Hospital, the new and bigger House has enough room to welcome 73 families every day, keeping 2,500 families per year together when it matters most.

There’s a certain stigma associated with homelessness. Many people think of drug addicts and aggressive panhandlers, but the people who walk through the doors of Help us continue our work Threshold Housing by donating at rmhbc.ca Society know that’s not an entirely accurate picture of homelessness in 111129672-1_RMH BC New House_BlackPress_2.8125x4.indd 1 5/14/14 9:47 AM Greater Victoria. is CLIENT PROOF # 1 Graham INTERNALWebber REVIEW # 3 014 MODIFICATION DATE: May 9, 2014 12:13 PM OUTPUT DATE: 05/14/14 21.

months to look for a place to live that felt like home and where he could build that skill set. “It was really lonely living by myself,” he said. “My social worker suggested that I come and check out Mitchell House and it sounded really awesome. I wanted to live somewhere where I could get help with things like cooking, because I didn’t know how to cook. And being around lots of people with lots of support was good.” Katherine Crane, also 21, spent her childhood in foster homes and was on the verge of being aged out of care at 19, with essentially no other housing options available. “Most of our youth right now are on the cusp of being aged

Notice of work Natural gas main relocation at City Centre Park The City of Langford is expanding the City Centre Park parking lot at 1089 Langford Parkway. FortisBC will relocate a portion of an existing natural gas main to accommodate this upgrade. Crews will be working in July and August, 2014. During this time, natural gas will be vented and may result in a sound similar to a jet engine and a smell like rotten eggs; it may also involve the safe burning of natural gas through a flare stack. This venting procedure could take up to three hours. Limited traffic disruptions along Langford Parkway will take place throughout the duration of this project.

Graham Webber, left, Ken Hillaire and Katherine Crane, all of whom were once youth at risk of being homeless, sit on the steps of Mitchell House, operated by the Threshold Housing Society and funded with help from The Home Depot’s Orange Door program. out of care,” said Mark Muldoon, executive director of Threshold, which operates Mitchell House and Holly House, two low-rent homes that provide nine beds total to youth who are at-risk of homelessness in Greater Victoria. “Out of all the kids in foster care who are aged out at 19, half will end up on the street in two years. It’s an unseen, unrecognized, unacknowledged crisis going on.” There are only 17 beds total in all of Greater Victoria that provide a place for youth, but Muldoon said that number isn’t nearly meeting the demand. “For Mitchell House we had 60 referrals last

year, and 37 referrals for girls. The demand outweighs supply by a huge margin,” he said. “And why has this happened? The general public will just put the youth homeless population and adult homeless population together, thinking everyone’s taken care of by (the other service providers), but youth under 19 can’t go for a meal at Our Place and can’t stay at the shelters.” The Home Depot looked at the situation and to help, created The Orange Door Project as a fundraiser to help reduce youth homelessness. Money donated through the purchase of a $2 paper orange door at the Millstream

Road and Shelbourne Street stores goes to Threshold Housing Society. “I think giving back in the community we do business in is really important,” said Langford store manager Jason Handley. “We touch a lot of customers in the community and we want to give back and be contributing.” Last year the Saanich store raised approximately $8,000 and Langford $4,500. This year, Handley said, the hope is to increase those numbers and have even more impact. “It is a big problem here in Victoria. Providing help to the youth, where a lot of organizations and people overlook them, that is where we can help. I would like to see a 50-per-cent increase – we can hit $6,000 to $8,000. I know that is a lofty goal, but certainly something we are striving for here.” The Orange Door Project at The Home Depot runs until July 2. To learn more about Threshold, visit thresholdhousing.ca.

Four Mile making foray into retail beer market Variety of craft brews move from View Royal pub’s taps to store coolers Don Descoteau News staff

Fans of the Four Mile House’s craft beers soon won’t have to troop down to the historic View Royal pub and restaurant to quaff their favourite brews. Starting this week, a handful of the fledgling Four Mile House Brewing Co. products are available in 650-millilitre bottles at its cold beer and wine store in Admirals Walk. Next week the availability of the beers goes further afield, to other private liquor stores. Pursuing a retail customer base for its popular craft beers outside its premises has been part of the plan all along, says Graham Haymes Jr., whose family owns and operates the pub and opened the brewery in January. Pentup demand for the product and the impending summer season accelerated that plan, however. “There’s been kind of a groundswell. We’ve had a lot of people asking, and asking and asking when are we going to be available (in stores), “ he says. “We were going to hold it off a little longer, but we’re ready.” Seven of the eight beers currently being brewed will be released for retail sale. Four will hit the shelves first and three more are due to be rolled out as summer progresses. The brewery is believed to the first in the Pacific Northwest to use the Peter Austin

Don Descoteau/News staff

Graham Haymes of the Four Mile Brewing Company, stands next to the brewery’s unique brick kettle below the Four Mile Pub in View Royal. The brewery is releasing seven of its craft-brewed ales to the retail market. With marketing a huge part of the process for any brewer hoping to get people’s attention in the increasingly crowded craft beer market, Four Mile spent time working on its packaging. “The labels and the art have been a big process that we really wanted to focus on,” Haymes says. For designing the labels, the company hired Andrew Lewis, a local artist with international

Brick Kettle, a unique-looking piece of equipment developed by Austin, the man considered the “godfather” of English craft brewing. With brewers relying heavily on traditional English processes and using a mix of English and West Coast hops, ales feature heavily in the Four Mile product mix, from golden, brown and pale ales to an India pale ale and its trademark sipper, Best British.

experience. His stark, pen-andink style drawings, mostly featuring animal caricatures, are part of the plan to distinguish Four Mile’s beers from others on the shelves, Haymes says. “We really wanted to create a package that was dramatic and fit with the Four Mile’s rich history, and would also pop off the shelves, be really interesting and fun and edgy and engage people.” The back labels, written by former TV and radio communications specialist Su Grimmer, offer whimsical descriptions for each of the seven beers, some of which touch on the colourful history of the Four Mile, which dates to 1858. Tipplers have been able to take home the Four Mile’s craft beers in large “growler” bottles and the smaller “meowlers” almost from the beginning. There’s no immediate plans to release traditional single-serving bottles for the retail market, but Haymes says the 650 ml size allows people curious about the beers to try them and find the one they like best. “We have enough brands to fit everyone’s palates, so people can pick a style from a malt-forward ale or a very hoppy ale or a crisp easydrinking beer. There’s a beer for everyone.” For more information about the beers, visit fourmilehouse. com and click on Four Mile Craft Beers. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Residents asked to remain patient

Continued from Page A1

Council is listening to the concerns around safety, she said, and has the issue “at the top of the radar.” Other options, including building a sidewalk on the north side of Goldstream from Leigh Road to the highway, would cost more than $400,000 and eliminate much of the roadside parking, Mahovlich added.

“The road right of way is not sufficient to allow islands or narrowed portions of road to be installed, so that option is difficult to implement.” Speed bumps might not work either, she said, because they also slow emergency vehicles, make it more challenging to clear snow from the road and cause more ambient noise. With proximity of homes to the driving lanes being so close in

this case, noise generated by vehicles driving over speed bumps and or gearing up or down further complicate the issue. In the meantime, Langford is asking for patience, she said. With a number of projects in the area underway, including a technology park proposed for Goldstream Avenue property up to the TCH, and a new streetlight at the current four-way

stop at the Goldstream and Leigh intersection, Mahovlich said it will all come together in the end. Area resident Terry Power hopes it’s not too late. “If noise is the concern, I am comfortable (with it). We have indicated we would be putting up with the noise so someone won’t get killed in front of the house,” he said. alim@vicnews.com

Double mains help leaders pad season points totals Military night this Saturday at Western Speedway Kyle Cottam was the fastest driver around the track in more ways than one Saturday at Western Speedway. The stock car driver posted fast qualifying time of 18.447 seconds to start the night, bided his time in the trophy dash and heat races (he was third in the second trophy dash), then proceeded to reel off wins in both 50-lap main events in the class. After beating runner-up Mark Lockhart to the line in the first feature, points leader Cottam outraced second-place finisher Kevin Knight to the checkered

flag in the second race. Knight did win the second heat race, while other winners were Wayne Hart in the first dash, Dave Reside in the second and Brian Clutchey in the first heat race. Wade Bland added to his slim lead in the late model standings by winning the first 50-lap main event and taking runner-up in the second main behind winner Dave Hemrich. Bland, who also finished third in the second heat race behind winner Darrell Midgley and runner-up Rory Smith, has a 19-point lead over Jason Terasenko. Terasenko posted the fastest time on the night of 16.786 seconds, took second behind Bland in the first main and was third in the opening heat race, won by

Brandon Carlson. In Hornets, Daryl Cahill was the main man, winning both the 25-lap main event and second trophy dash ahead of runner-up Kevin Lawrenuk. Cahill also had a fast time of 20.124 seconds. Other Hornet winners were Glenn Rand in the first trophy dash and Tristan Gait in the heat race. This Saturday’s card (June 28) sees demo cars and trucks, bombers, mini figure 8s and mini trucks and total destruction. It’s military night, with any serving or retired member of the armed forces getting in free with a valid military ID card. Gates open at 4:30 p.m., qualifying goes at 5:30 and racing starts at 6:30.

A fundraising foursome were set to play the Valley and Mountain courses at Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort from dawn to dusk Tuesday. Jordan Ray, Jaegan Patron, Chris Currie and Dave Maddock were playing consecutive rounds as part of the 2014 PGA of B.C. Golfathon for ALS.

The provincial goal is to raise $1 million for support services benefiting patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, otherwise known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease, and research toward finding a cure. The Bear Mountain team, some of whom have played the event before, has a special reason for taking part: Currie’s father is battling the disease, having been diagnosed in February 2013.

Currie and Ray were part of last year’s foursome that golfed 100 holes through the day. Golf pros around the province are taking part in the ninth annual event, which saw the first marathon played May 20 and winds up July 26.

Alan Osborne prepares to get into position as partner Johane Mui returns a serve during the A final of the Gllangcolme Tennis Festival. The duo beat Peter and Damaris Brix 6-1, 6-0 to cap the tournament at the Langford Tennis Club.

The top seeds put on a clinic in the ‘A’ final of the Gllangcolme Tennis Festival on Sunday. Johanne Mui of Saanich and North Saanich’s Alan Osborne made short work of five-time event champions Peter and Damaris Brix, winning 6-1, 6-0 to collect their second title in three years under a hot late afternoon sun at the Langford Tennis Club. “It’s usually a tighter match when we play them,” Mui said. “It was closer than the score would indicate.” Bolstered by Osborne’s lightning serves and the unflinching net play of Mui, the winners never let the Brixes back into the match after winning the first

four games in the first set. “We’ve always had tough matches against them,” Osborne said. “We know their game fairly well. Peter’s a world-class badminton player with a great smash, so we tried to stay away from the overhands, and we tried to keep Damaris running.” Peter Brix said the match started off on the wrong foot when he had trouble getting his serves in. From then on, he said, it was tough to play catchup. “They were just returning everything and didn’t give us an opening,” he said. Even one of the blazing overhands he managed to hit during one spirited rally was sent back, Brix said, throwing up his hands in mock surrender. The Brixes have won the tournament five times previous, but as Peter noted, “the top four teams on any given day can win it.” Damaris Brix singled out the

serving of Osborne as a key factor in the match. “Alan served very well. I think he aced both of us three or four times,” she said. Osborne acknowledged that serving is a big part of his game. “If I’m not serving well, I’m not going to be playing with Johanne very often,” he said with a chuckle. Mui and Osborne beat Tracy and Carmine Antonacci 7-5, 7-6 in the semifinal, while the Brixes downed Amanda Heffelfinger and Steve Perks 7-6, 6-4. Sunday’s other finals saw Wendy Whibley and Lauren Banerd defeat Sue Grandmaison and Sajan Joseph 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the B division, while Sandi Johnson and Mike Carey took the C event title when Bev and Bill Wilson defaulted. Johnson and Carey had beat Sherri Andrews and Alfred Hass 6-3, 7-6 in the C semifinals. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

The Westshore Wolves and Gordon Head Raiders are getting to know each other quite well. In the atom division, the clubs have faced each other three straight years in Greater Victoria Minor Football Association cup finals. The Raiders have won the last two, including Saturday’s Silver Cup final, 22-14 at Westhills Stadium. The Warriors beat Gordon Head handily in their final regular season meeting, but as Westshore head coach Richard Johma said, anything can happen come playoff time. “We had some inopportune fumbles that cost us,” he said of the close game, which followed Westshore’s 32-12 win over Cowichan in the Silver Cup semifinals. “The competition keeps on getting tighter and tighter,” said Johma, whose team lost last year’s Gold Cup final after winning it in 2012. “There’s some

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

How well does your child see?

Parents are often surprised when I tell them that children should have their eyes examined around their third birthday. At this age however, many problems can be detected and timely treatment started. If an infant or toddler has an obvious problem, the parents should not hesitate to have the child’s eyes examined even earlier. Children with vision problems may not complain. Blurred or double vision can seem normal if one has never known anything else. Sometimes a child may only be using one eye with the other not functioning properly; even though it appears to be normal. An eye may be “lazy” (amblyopic) even if it doesn’t seem to turn in or out. Treatment for amblyopia is far more effective if undertaken well before the child’s seventh birthday. Parents can watch out for signs of vision problems even in very young children: Rubbing the eyes, holding objects too close, tilting the head or an unusual lack of coordination are some of the warning symptoms. Children do not need to know the alphabet to be examined. Optometrists can use pictures, symbols and toys to help examine toddlers. The emphasis is usually on “fast and fun” in these cases. After the initial visit, annual checks are recommended as children’s eyes change as they grow. Here in British Columbia, a program for preschool children called “Vision First Check” has just started. Ask your optometrist for further details and set up appointments for any children who have not had a recent examination.

Teacher’s retirement comes early Respected educator ends lengthy career walking the picket line Travis Paterson News staff

Retirement has come early for B.C. teachers leaving the job at the end of the school year, but it was due to happen. It just wasn’t going to happen for another couple of weeks. Instead, the entrance to Rick Griffin’s house in View Royal is packed with boxes and memorabilia he has yet to make room for in the house storage. “It was rather quick, packing up with the strike looming,” he said this week. After 33 years as a teacher, 27 of which were at Saanich schools – 16 of them at Arbutus middle school and the last 11 at Mount Douglas secondary, Griffin is moving on to the next phase of his life. “It’s a weird ending with the strike, but not one I’ve put any energy into,” he said. “I can’t worry about it.” The man affec“In coaching tionately known as “Griff” coached girls I always used basketball most of the mantra, ‘It’s his career, including two B.C. junior more than just championship basketball, it’s a teams at Mount They’ll go vehicle to make Doug. down as his career relationships.

To have your daughter win it at the buzzer, you can’t beat it.” He was well-liked by his players and his students, as he taught English, leadership, counselled and was a vice-principal for a year. “They identified with him and appreciated his honest approach, in teaching and in basketball,” said fellow Mount Doug teacher Bernie Kidd. “It was his philosophy to give back and to invest in students, and it showed.” “I’ve been lucky with the kids I’ve coached, and the parents,” Griffin said. “In coaching I always used the mantra, ‘It’s more than just basketball, it’s a vehicle to make relationships. It’s a journey.’ And it was true.” It all came full circle at the Mount

Travis Paterson/News staff

Rick Griffin, a View Royal resident who spent the better part of his 33-year education career working in area schools, says it’s “weird” ending his career with schools closed and teachers striking. Doug alumni game held in May. Nearly 70 former players returned, some from up-Island from when he taught in the Comox Valley, and one all the way from Georgia. “It was my idea of a retirement party. It was about everyone, not me, and we raised $1,700 in donations for KidSport,” Griffin said. As for the future ahead, Griffin will keep busy with a few different projects. He hopes to volunteer with Encounters for Canada, the program that brings youth from across Canada to Ottawa for a week at a time. It will give him a chance to visit with his daughter and new grandson, Jasper.

He’s also looking to mentor student teachers and will help out with his son’s business, Quails’ Nest Daycare, which is run out of the Griffin home. And a busy home it is. They’ve hosted international exchange students for 20 years. In fact, the upstairs was overrun this week by a group of Mexican students who gathered to watch their country play Brazil to a 0-0 draw in the World Cup on Tuesday. Griffin’s wife Shari is also in education – she’s a teacher at Braefoot elementary in Saanich – while their daughter, Rae, is also now a teacher herself. reporter@saanichnews.com

No slowing down for marathon man Natalie North Black Press

Most anyone who has laced up a pair of running shoes has felt compelled to make up an excuse every so often and let up on their training when life gets in the way. Not Evan Fagan. Back in 2011, then 74 years old, Fagan wasn’t about to have something as commonplace as a little prostate cancer throw him off his game. He placed second in the Oliver half-Ironman before undergoing radiation and as soon as he was able, he was back out on the course. It’s that kind of commitment that has brought Fagan to the finish lines of 143 marathons, more than 50 ultra marathons and 89 triathlons since he started racing as a 49-year-old. “A lot of women and men my age stop because they get injured or they have some sort of other sickness,” says the swimming septuagenarian, fresh off a lap set in the YMCA-YWCA. “People like me are extremely lucky. I had that one episode and I’ve got no effects from it – except for that I glow in the dark from the radiation. I’ve been lucky.” Fagan’s attitude towards every aspect of competition is as warm and joyful as the greetings he offers to a constant stream of friends, met through fitness, who pass through the doors to the Y. His race times may have declined since the cancer, but his enthusiasm hasn’t. To be able to “play around at a mostly young person’s event” is still just as fun for Fagan, who can get the

gained a 15-hour time and made it to the podium on a thirdplace finish. There will be more. “You think: ‘Aw, I’m never going to do this again and then 24 hours later, you say, ‘Where’s the next one?’ Marathoners are the same. I know so many people who say ‘I’m not doing another one of these runs ever again,’ and sure enough, six months later, they’re back at it.” Fagan has been back, race after race, from sprint triathlons in North Vancouver to biathlons or trail runs in Hawaii and marathons along the Yakima River Canyon. His journey to the Frontrunners Walk of Fame began right here, at what was known then as the Royal Victoria Marathon. The crowds came helped propel him to a 3:56 finish. “It was fantastic. I didn’t have any thoughts of the future at that time. It’s in your hometown and the Victoria marathon course is really one of the best. It was a sunny, great day here in 1988.” This Thanksgiving weekend, Fagan will return to the birthplace of his passion. He’s registered for the full GoodLife Victoria Marathon on Oct. 12, his first in two years. “It’s a lifestyle, a very healthy lifestyle,” he says. “I just realize that I’m so lucky to be able to do what I do.” reporter@saanichnews.com

Seventy-seven year old Evan Fagan has swam, biked and run through nearly 300 triathlons and long distance races. same satisfaction from the picturesque races courses – and their completion – regardless of whether or not he logs a fourhour or a six-hour marathon time. “Since I’ve been running slower, I’ve gotta tell you, I’m feeling pretty good,” he says. “The sense of accomplishment is still there but the exhaustion (isn’t). Maybe I don’t push myself as much as I could have because I’m trying to be careful not to hurt as much.” But Fagan’s definition of pushing himself is very different from most. Not too many people can boast successful Ironman completion, and even fewer seniors have three to their name. Fagan trained and

she has been assisting seniors throughout B.C. access federal and provincial services, navigate the health care system and find health services. She says: “For me (this role) has highlighted the plight of many seniors in our communities who are bewildered, angry, frustrated, sad and overwhelmed by the lack of support they need.” The experience has left her wondering if she lives in a society that tolerates the “systemic abuse of the elderly.” The COSCO seniors’ advocate says what B.C. needs is a Seniors’ Week and a strong declaration that we must do better for the elderly. “If we help them we will help everyone. It is not about entitlement. It is about fairness, justice and dignity.” You can make a modest start by visiting the government’s Seniors Action Plan at seniorsbc.ca and checking out the strategy to reduce elder abuse.

Q: I have looked at retirement communities and the services they offer, but I need more help.

A: Independent

Living (IL) retirement communities offer ‘hospitality services’ such as meals, laundry, cleaning, social and recreational programs, emergency response, transportation, etc. However, as you have indicated, your health dictates increased services. This is when an Assisted Living (AL) community may be the best choice for your situation. In British Columbia all Assisted Living (AL) communities must be “Registered” with the provincial government. This does not mean they are funded or run by the government – simply put, the expectation of care services offered are within levels the government believes to be reasonable for these communities. ‘Some’ types of services provided in an Assisted Living (AL) environment are: • medication monitoring and reminders • assistance with activities of daily living, such as dressing, bathing and grooming, • there is a nurse in charge of managing the Assisted Living (AL) services, but most often the connection with the resident is a certified, trained, care aide professional. Sometimes you will find Assisted Living (AL) services within an Independent Living (IL) community – which means residents receive those extra services in their own suite - offered by staff they know and trust. Ultimately, each resident living in an Assisted Living (AL) community must be able to make decisions and act, in their own best interest.

Words from the wise

Lina Dyer came to Victoria in 1951 from Germany. She’s been visiting the Saanich Silver Threads Service at the Les Passmore Centre since 1998. “We used to love bowling at Mayfair. It was a shame the alley was taken down. We loved it. So some of us from the group started with shuffleboarding (at Les Passmore) and we’ve been doing it ever since. Some days you play better than others but it’s always just for fun.” Dyer keeps busy with the lawn and garden, as much as she has to, “to keep it up.” She also delivers the Goldstream Gazette twice weekly in her home town of Langford.

David Smith, 82, was born in Vancouver and moved to Cadboro Bay in 1942 when his father was posted at The Gordon Head Officer’s Training Centre. Smith attended school at Cedar Hill Elementary and the orginal Mount Douglas High School. After high school David worked in fishing camps and as a commercial fisherman for a year. He still loves sport-fishing. With that under his belt he returned to school in Vancouver and became a journeyman photo-lithographer where he obtained employment for 24 years with the provincial government as an aerial photographer and navigator. Smith has a wife, two daughters and three grandchildren. He’s currently enrolled in a French course at the Goward House Activity Centre, located at 2495 Arbutus Rd., where he also enjoyed their water colour courses, held at Goward House earlier this year. “(You have to) learn to roll and hum with the punches.”

Weather the storm someplace safe & warm.

Honora Bowring, 76, was born in Lancashire, England during the Second World War. At 18, she moved to Manchester to become a nurse before working in midwifery in Liverpool, where she remembers listening to the Beatles. She moved to Canada in 1964 with her husband, settling in West Vancouver, where she decided on a brief career change. “I sold real estate,” Bowring says. “I wanted to try something different. I was curious.” Bowring enjoyed working in real estate and enjoyed some success, but eventually returned to nursing. Bowring’s husband passed 34 years ago. She has two daughters, one living in New York, the other locally, as she works for B.C. Ferries. There are five grandchildren, ranging in age from 11 to 19. Bowring’s biggest life achievement is finding contentment. She had a short, but good marriage. She’s happy with her family and, she did a lot of volunteer work in developing countries. “I’m happy,” she says. “I’m happy with my everyday life.”
