Barb Featherstonhaugh wants View Royal residents to be clear: asking voters whether they want amalgamation investigated further does not constitute a referendum on amalgamation.

The View Royal Community Association chair is overseeing a public meeting on Monday where residents can hear more information about a proposal to place a non-binding referendum question on the ballot for the 2014 civic election.

The discussion is also expected to touch on how amalgamation might be of benefit to the Township.

“In the long run, we’ll wind up with better services and a better financial situation for Greater Victoria,” Featherstonhaugh said of the potential for View Royal and the region.

The meeting is not endorsed by council.

Sitting as committee of the whole on Tuesday, council voted to reject putting any kind of question on the ballot that would have gauged residents’ appetite for pursuing further some form of regional amalgamation.

Ban on owning dogs for Metchosin couple SPCA investigation conducted in January

Arnold Lim/News staff

Johanne Jeffries, left, lays moss out on a make-shift bed while Kartik Vashistha and Thomas Anderson-Roffey saw branches with a hand-made saw in the bush near Albert Head. The air cadets were taking part in an survival camp in Metchosin this week.

Air cadets’ limits tested Survival camp teaches outdoors, life skills Arnold Lim News staff

Johanne Jeffries went back for a second helping of grasshopper.

The first one was too small, so the 15-year-old air cadet pulled the legs and wings off a larger, juicier one and bit into the insect’s torso to get a better sense of the flavour.

“It didn’t taste like anything really, it was more the texture … kind of chewy,” she said. “A lot of it is just mental, the idea that it’s a bug bothers some people.

For me personally, it’s not that big of a deal.”

The Oliver, B.C. resident is in training mode, halfway through a three-week basic survival course at Albert Head Cadet Summer Training Centre in Metchosin, a federally-sponsored program for youth 12 to 18. Fifty-two air cadets from around the province, including two from the West Shore, are getting hands-on exposure to seemingly primitive living conditions that challenge them mentally and physically.

Langford resident Thomas

Anderson-Roffey, 14, said the course has given him confidence and made him realize how good he has it.

“It is different being away from home, I live a short distance away and I still get homesick,” he said. “Overall, there are quite a few different challenges.”

Those challenges also include living with others in crowded spaces, being woken up in the middle of the night and dropped out in the wilderness in controlled but pitch black situations and living without the comforts of home. The camp culminates in a survival exercise where cadets are given only a handful of rations and supplies and expected to survive for three days in the outdoors.

“This course is really focused on fostering independence,” said reserve 2nd Lt. Sarah Lumley of Nanaimo.

“Really the objective at the end of the day is that these guys come here, learn the skills and learn the ability to survive on their own for days.”

Survival tactics include bagging leafy tree limbs in plastic to collect the condensation for drinking water, building snares to catch food, making rope from grass, erecting shelters and catching fish without a rod.

“I definitely think it’s about learning (your) own strengths and weaknesses. For a lot of them, it’s their first camp or first time away from home – away from parents,” Lumley said.

“This course is most applicable outside the cadet program, in real life. A lot of those skills, the improvisation, leadership, working as a team, those things can be used outside of this environment. It’s all about being aware and being prepared.

You can find yourself in an emergency situation anywhere. We are due for a giant earthquake.”

Lumley, 21, took the course at 14. She counts the camaraderie and skills developed during her time as a cadet, and at the survival course, as big reasons why she chose to join the summer camp staff. She said it provides an amazing opportunity for teenagers like Jeffries.

“Once you get past the idea that it’s really not a bad situation, you just have to push yourself to overcome your fear, if it’s eating a bug or if it’s heights, if it’s being alone,” Jeffries said.

“I would definitely recommend it. It’s a lot of fun... It is challenging, but I am definitely sure when I go back to my home I will be bringing a lot back.” alim@vicnews.com

Colwood receives cash for Kelly upgrade Arnold Lim News staff

“We think it’s wonderful if we spend a little less of (our own) gas tax.”

Proposed improvements to Kelly Road in Colwood have gotten a funding boost.

A road upgrade project that includes bike lanes and sidewalks, aiming to make the road safer and more pedestrian friendly, will be helped by a $75,000 federal government grant.

The funding is administered through the Capital Regional District’s Pedestrian and Cycling Master Plan. The grant lowers the $710,000 Colwood budgeted for the project out of its own gas tax funds in

– Coun. Judith Cullington the 2014 budget.

“We think it is wonderful if we spend a little less of (our own) gas tax. It frees that money up for other projects,” said Coun. Judith Cullington.

The road is somewhere between an important thoroughfare and a neighbour-

hood road, she said. The project could see a number of potential changes between Sooke Road and Veteran’s Memorial Parkway, including boulevards, medians and landscaping.

The municipality will host a public meeting “sometime

in the summer” before finalizing the plans, Cullington said.

The project likely wouldn’t get underway until 2015.

“It is more around recognizing need. When we took a look at the master plan (we asked) ‘where are the routes we could improve?’ And Kelly Road, for quite some time, has been high on our priority list,” Cullington said. “In the Official Community Plan, one of the things we said we wanted is to be more pedestrian friendly, bike friendly, more transit friendly. So this is an example of how we are trying to move toward that.” alim@vicnews.com

Program makes cancer journey easier Angela Cowan News Staff

To say Maria Bruvold and her family have had a tough year is an understatement.

Their son Owen, who turns three tomorrow (July 19), was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in April 2013, and they spent the rest of that year in front-line treatment, making numerous trips to Vancouver from their home in Langford and spending every moment supporting their son.

Owen was in near complete isolation to protect his compromised immune system. It wasn’t until after he began receiving long-term treatment in January that Bruvold and her husband were given the go-ahead by their doctor to get out into the public realm again.

They started attending parent support meetings and became involved with the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association’s

Family Support Program.

Bruvold found out about BCCCPA while in Vancouver, but she wasn’t immediately aware there was an Island chapter.

Through the program, she and her husband have been able to connect with other families going through the same experiences, and this connection has been vital.

“The biggest thing is, I have friends and family, but once you’ve been through cancer, only other parents who have gone through it too are really going to understand,” Bruvold said. “We don’t know each other, but we’re kindred spirits.”

Now that Owen’s immune system is strong enough to allow him out in public spaces again, his parents have been taking every opportunity to expand his world beyond the hospital.

Through the Family Support Program, the Bruvolds have gone to Western Speedway, a Victoria Royals hockey game and this summer they’re going on a camping trip for oncology families, sponsored by BCCCPA. “It’s helped us feel

like we’re part of ‘normal’ society again,” she said.

Owen’s long-term treatment is set to continue until June 2016, as the treatment for boys with acute lymphoblastic leukemia is three full years. The Bruvolds, like many other families, will have to deal with loss of income and added medical expenses for some time yet.

But with the help of the Family Support Program, they won’t have to go it alone.

The program hopes to raise $50,000 for this year’s budget to provide emergency services to families, financial aid, on-site support and outdoor recreational activities for patients and their families.

Susan Kerr, patient parent liaison on the Island for the association, said the program greatly supports families financially as well as emotionally, noting the majority of families going through treatment are hit hard with costs and loss of income.

“The program for me is about letting parents be with their kids and not have to worry

about fundraising,” she said. “Breathing room is so important, and we’re all breathing the same air.”

Coast Capital Savings’ recent donation of $5,000 is a big step toward reaching their goal.

“It was a natural step for us to help,” said Hollie Coulter, chief customer experience officer at the West Shore branch, who presented the donation last week.

The Bruvolds have also taken advantage of the Comfy Kids Program, which provides a safe and clean car to families who have to travel for treatment. “It uplifts our spirits. To have access to these programs and services makes things so much easier,” she said.

“It helps us to believe in good in the world again.”

While she acknowledged that approval from tiny View Royal would not likely sway larger municipalities to support the initiative – Victoria is the only municipality to say ‘yes’ to a bal-

lot question – Featherstonhaugh said it would keep people talking about the issue.

“Issues like this need to go to the general electorate,” Featherstonhaugh said. “Everyone needs to have a say in something so large.”

The large fire hall referendum turnout showed people will vote on things they feel strongly enough about, she said. The meeting happens at 7:30 p.m. at the View Royal Town Hall, 279 Island Hwy. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

he first thing that you will notice when you walk through the doors at Dr. Joslin, Dr. Morin and Associates on Goldstream Avenue is how busy the office is. With 3 doctors of Optometry, 6 Canadian Certified Optometric Assistants, as well as 1 Optician the office is the destination spot for all your eye care needs.

Serving the Westshore for over 20 years Dr. Joslin and his associates are proud to assist patients in their overall eye health, help them to find the frame style that fits their personality and the type of lenses which will work best for them.

As an independent optometric practice Dr. Joslin, Dr. Morin and Associates are able to select the widest range of eyewear offering products not available in chain or online stores. Currently the Langford office is offering great deals such as 40% off your 2nd pair of complete glasses and also 30% off selected women’s and men’s frames.

The Canadian Association of Optometrists states,“One of the key things that patients should know is that there is a difference between a Sight Test and an Eye exam,” and Dr. Joslin with his staff aim to educate the public about this important information on a regular basis.“Not Not all eye conditions have symptoms. An eye exam performed by a Doctor of Optometry looks at the entire eye and visual system as well as your prescription, and it is important part of preventative health care. Think of an eye exam as a physical for your eyes.” Full health eye examinations are recommended starting at 6 months of age, and suggested to continue every year thereafter. Adults are advised to have an exam every 2 years, providing it is not medically necessary that they be seen earlier by their Optometrist.

OUR VIEW

Support spotty for amalgamation While the topic of amalgamation is a dead issue for many Greater Victorians, folks in View Royal still want to find out how residents of the town feel about the possibility of pursuing some form of combined services or jurisdictions in the region.

With no backing from town council, the View Royal Community Association is hosting a public meeting next week in an attempt to further inform its residents what putting a non-binding question on its ballots for the fall civic election would actually mean.

Most of the Capital Region’s 13 municipal councils have already chosen to reject holding a referendum on pursuing amalgamation further. View Royal made that choice on Tuesday night.

Some municipalities, helped by the folks from Amalgamation Yes, have hosted public meetings to take residents’ temperature on the issue, as a way to determine whether to spend more public money on a referendum.

In a number of cases, no council vote has actually been taken on the idea. To us that says no one around the table feels strongly enough about it to make a motion calling for a vote and have it seconded by a supporter on council.

If most jurisdictions aren’t willing to hear their community’s answer to the question, or feel most residents prefer the status quo, how can there be any hope of convincing the province to actually look into the matter further? For that matter, why would we want the province to spend our hard-earned tax dollars on such a study if it seemed there were no appetite to even look at amalgamation in the first place?

Some may feel this is an issue of democracy, allowing the public to voice their opinion and have their vote counted. In View Royal, the fire hall referendum attracted a huge turnout because it was something residents felt strongly about.

While some people may feel strongly about looking into the regional benefits of some form of amalgamation, we don’t currently see enough of them to warrant asking our local politicians or the province to spend valuable time or money on it.

Question

of the week

?

YOUR VIEW

It’s time for a better system Re: A brief history of treaty talks (B.C. Views, July 4) Tom Fletcher states “no society has made significant social and environmental progress without individual property rights. See the woeful state of most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves, where individually owned property isn’t permitted.”

I would like to point out that around the time Columbus brought “civilization” to North America, Europe was just warming up to nearly 300 years of torturing and killing an estimated 40,000 to 100,000 women and men on fearmongered charges of witchcraft.

I’m no scholar, but from what I’ve read, it was common in healthy, pre-contact aboriginal communities to share food and possessions with the whole community.

Aboriginal communities also originated the concept of restorative justice, which permitted a way for perpetrators to be forgiven and reintegrated into society, as well as for the victim to have a role in deciding appropriate consequences for the perpetrator. Homosexuality was accepted.

Most aboriginals saw the Divine as one with all of nature, so all of nature was treated with respect. How could we make more environmental progress than to live in sustainable harmony with nature, as aboriginals did?

I’m sure aboriginal communities

Are Greater Victoria municipalities doing enough to enforce dog bylaws?

Answer online at www.vicnews.com

had their share of problems, but on the whole it sounds like they lived closer to Jesus’ teachings of loving one another, behaving charitably towards others, and not amassing wealth while others starve, etc., than we have been able to in our modern “civilized” societies.

If “most of Canada’s communally owned aboriginal reserves” are indeed in a woeful state, I would see that more as evidence that it doesn’t work to take away a community’s children, subject them to physical and sexual abuse and neglect, teach them an old white man in the sky knows their every thought and will punish them, and then put them on a reserve and expect them to function optimally.

Imagine the widespread hopelessness and despair that would result in our own communities, if all of our schoolaged children were taken away?

Imagine the children returning to our devastated community years later, having been thoroughly taught that they’re secondclass at best. How healthy could our community then become, without serious help and healing?

I note that though John Locke was a great advocate of money and private property, he also believed government needed to play a role in distributing wealth more evenly.

He neglected to say how that should be done.

I would have thought that

Last Week

we asked you:

anyone who followed the libertarian-inspired role in de-regulating Wall Street, with touching faith in the integrity and self-regulation of those who put private profit above all else, and saw the resulting catastrophe, would at least have some second thoughts about where our driving economic forces are taking us.

Surely it’s now apparent that a greed-based system works for only a tiny percentage of the population. Maybe it’s time to design a better system, one that places more value and respect on nature and fellow humans and animals. A system perhaps more inspired by simpler societies that achieved a level of social and environmental success than we can only dream of.

The steering wheel is soft to the touch and I like that you can control various functions like the audio, Bluetooth, or cruise control from it. The centre stack has charm, too.

Formula 1 in your driveway Keith Morgan

Even if you squint while looking at the Hybrid gas-electric car on your driveway, you likely have a hard time imagining it is anything like an F1 racecar.

However, the new advanced hybrid technology at play in this 2014 season means that Formula 1 has never been closer to your driveway.

The car power units are 1600cc turbocharged V6 engines with direct fuel injection. They have to complete each race with 35 per cent less fuel, with a maximum fuel load of 100kg (not litres) and the fuel flow is restricted to 100 kg/hour. That would mean your favourite driver would bow out half way through without further engineering help.

In addition, the power units have two electric motors, one linked directly to the turbocharger, the other working in the same way that the Kinetic Energy Recovery Systems (KERS) used to do.

The result is a combined maximum power output of around 760bhp, which is similar to the output of the V8 cars of last year.

It is a certainty that the rapid-fire experimentation that is going on in F1 will result in improvements to our everyday cars. That’s the beauty of this highly competitive sport that is so geared to winning. Changes come faster because there’s no chance to undertake testing that takes ages

under normal testing.

Last year, when I visited the Monaco Grand Prix as a guest of the Infiniti-Red Bull F1 race team, I chatted to Infiniti engineers who marvelled at the pace of improvement. Said one Infiniti engineer: “They do things so much more quickly than we can do under normal development processes because they have to. And the changes they make are so thoroughly tested on the track. It points two ways: sometimes what they do shows us the way to go but also the way not to go!”

Hong Kong-based Infiniti has made a very shrewd move in tying itself to the F1 team and particularly the reigning F1 champion Sebastian Vettel. The German racer is the marque’s Director of Performance. His association goes far beyond the typical celebrity endorsement, for he takes on a literal hands-on-the-wheel approach to his role.

He has played a significant role in the development of the compact Q30, which should surface later next year. He has already left his mark on the all-new Infiniti Q50 sport sedan and sports car enthusiasts pray a

high-powered ‘Eau Rouge’ version of the car will hit the production line.

Yours truly, will join the team next month at the Belgian Grand Prix, at the Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, location of the famous ‘Eau Rouge’ corner. We will drive Q50s from the south of England, through the Euro Tunnel and on to Spa. Immediately prior to the race weekend, yours truly will join international journalists in a behind-the-scenes visit to the team’s UK base in Milton Keynes. There we will learn something about the fast track work they carry out on the F1 cars. I suspect we will get a peek at what is in store for that car on your driveway and you will read about it here. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

What do you get when you combine the world’s best-selling zero emission vehicle with innovative paint technology that repels mud, rain and everyday dirt?

Answer: a Nissan LEAF electric vehicle that might just be “the world’s cleanest car.”

Created to demonstrate its potential use in future production vehicles, this LEAF’s exterior was treated with a specially engineered paint that is designed to repel water and oils.

The “self-cleaning” paint, called Ultra-Ever Dry, creates a protective layer of air between the paint and environment, effectively stopping standing water and road spray from creating dirty marks on the LEAF’s surface. keith.morgan@drivewaybc.ca

Clean car

Drives-U-Crazy ... Stop signs

Stop signs mean stop now, not eventually.

There’s little that’s more scary when you are moving briskly along a major city arterial route than to be confronted suddenly by a car rolling at a clip over a stop line from a side road on the right.

The driver knows whether the car is going to stop before entering the highway. I don’t because I’m not a mind reader.

Lacrosse brothers guide bantams to B.C. silver medal Don Descoteau News staff

Considering they lost in the second round of the Vancouver Island league playoffs, the Juan de Fuca bantam B1 lacrosse team has to be happy with how their season wound up.

The team squeaked into last weekend’s provincial championship tournament in Esquimalt by beating the other Juan de Fuca bantam squad in a one-game playoff. Then they reached the B.C. final before losing 9-5 to the Campbell River Ravens on Sunday at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

Head coach Taylor Bourne, a 19-year-old minor lacrosse veteran

who coaches the B1 squad with younger brothers Spencer and Landyn, along with Jake Podan and goalie coach Talia Mavin was thrilled with the result.

“We were looking like we might not make provincials,” Taylor said.

His team suffered some injuries to key players and was forced to call up three pee wee players for the playoffs. One of those players injured was goalie Jacob Mellish, who recovered from a hand injury to lead the team through its playoff run and was named most valuable and most sportsmanlike player for the provincial tournament.

“I came in thinking we were down players and that we wouldn’t do as well without them,” Bourne said.

“But everybody stepped up their game, passing well and talking a lot as a team.”

Being a younger coaching group allowed Bourne and his crew to connect well with the players, who weren’t that much younger, he said.

Juan de Fuca beat Coquitlam 7-3 and Victoria 9-5, lost 6-5 in overtime to Port Coquitlam, then beat Nicola Valley 8-2 in the semifinals.

They led the final 2-0 at one point early on.

Also at Esquimalt last weekend, Juan de Fuca’s bantam A team wound up fourth overall, losing the bronze medal game 7-5 to New Westminster after going 2-3 in the round robin. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Write to us at condoQ@visoa.bc.ca Dear CondoQ: I admit to being a few months behind in my strata fees.

There are several missing boards in the fence in front of my unit, and the strata council says they won’t fix the fence until I pay up. The fence is not my property, it is common property – but my unit is for sale and the fence is detracting from my curb appeal! Can the strata council do this?

Q: WHAT IS TRADITIONAL NEIGHBOURHOOD DEVELOPMENT? Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND), which was used in designing the master plan for the Westhills development in Langford, is a design technique that replicates historic development patterns found in North American towns and applies their basic elements to new development projects.

TND designs include compact, pedestrian-friendly development with a mix of land uses in a village-type setting, unlike the sprawling, conventional subdivisions that have dominated residential development since the mid-20th century.

The use of TND in place of a conventional subdivision reduces land consumption and preserves open space.

TND can be used to develop entirely new communities, but can also be used to extend or fill in an existing community. Existing historic structures can also be incorporated into the TND. Landscapes2.org

Westhills looks to continue momentum Langford’s master-planned development moving forward

Don Descoteau News staff

One thing strikes a first-time visitor to the Westhills neighbourhoods perched on the hills between Langford and Glen lakes: this is no cookiecutter development.

True, this massive, multi-phased project has been designed with density in mind, with houses built close together on mostly small lots. But look a little closer and one discovers that each home is not only distinctly different than the one next door, there are various configurations on each street.

One needs only walk a short distance to go from a traditional twostorey home, to a slightly larger model featuring a carriage home on the rear of the lot, to one with a builtin legal suite. And don’t forget the cluster townhomes, condo building and level-entry homes suited to residents with mobility issues.

“As much as there’s options, there’s also flexibility,” says Rohan Rupf, marketing director for Keycorp Marketing, the company promoting Westhills and a major player in the expansion of Langford as the Capital Region’s affordable new housing leader.

The 209-hectare property is billed as a “sustainable master-planned community,” one developed in partnership between owner Westhills Land Corp. and the City of Langford.

Don Descoteau/News staff

Rohan Rupf, marketing director for Keycorp Marketing, promoters of Westhills, stands on Alouette Drive in one of the multi-faceted neighbourhoods that make up the massive Langford development.

Its “green” characteristics currently include a geo exchange heating and cooling system that begins with a mass of pipes underneath Goudy Field at City Centre Park and feeds every home in the development – some use it for radiant floor heating. Its efficient use of the land will see roughly 40 per cent kept for green spaces and common areas.

So far, roughly 500 homes have been completed, including one condo building. Plans call for another 1,500 or so single-family homes on the property, Rupf says.

Paradise Falls, a 160-lot area for which show homes are currently being built, is expected to have its first 30 or so homes ready this fall.

As the various phases of Westhills have been built starting in 2008-09, sales have been brisk, Rupf says,

“More than 40 per cent of our sales are referrals from other residents. It’s reassuring to know your customers can talk about the area with confidence.”

It’s not all about price, either.

The neighbourhoods are walking distance to City Centre Park, grocery stores, a multiplex theatre and numerous recreation options.

The new YMCA is expected to open by fall 2015 – as is the new Belmont secondary nearby – in an area known as The Core. The hub area will include a library, a lakefront pub and restaurant and a park and ride.

People are starting to understand that Westhills’ development is a part of the community’s growth, Rupf says. “It’s a benefit to the community the changes that are happening.

It’s part of the overall plan.”

with some selling out in as little as one weekend. Buyers have included everyone from first-time home buyers or young families needing more space, to people looking for lowmaintenance properties and retirees wanting to be close to amenities and family.

The development’s success to date boils down to some simple concepts, Rupf says. “If it’s not affordable, it’s not sustainable.”

Getting the people here based on affordability is one thing. Keeping them here is another.

Creating liveable homes with consistent quality construction helps.

With many more phases yet to come, maintaining a good reputation is “huge,” Rupf says, noting it’s important that what people see in the show homes is what they get.
