Colwood lays out economic dev plan Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

The City of Colwood has released its draft of the Economic Development Strategic Plan, designed to bring about some big and bold changes to the area. And now they’re taking feedback. The plan’s first priority is to create a full-time economic development manager position, and make economic development a core service to the municipality. “Right now economic development is sort of off the side of our desks,” says Iain Bourhill, director of planning for the City of Colwood. “Having a dedicated staff person would be a huge help.” Also high on the list is the development of a single resource guide for businesses coming into the city and exploring tax exemptions for non-residential development, as well as improving what Bourhill calls “quality of place,” improving public spaces and ‘streetscapes.’ In total, the economic development strategic plan details 24 specific actions that will “support economic development, and enhance the City’s competitive advantage.

Susan Simmons embarks from the south end of Cowichan Lake on Friday, Aug. 22, the first few strokes of her 70-kilometre open, double-length swim of the lake. She hallucinated, fell asleep twice and spent two hours trying to eat during the 31-hour swim.

Swimmers conquer Cowichan double Thetis prepped swimmers for 31 hours straight Travis Paterson News staff

There were hallucinations, the scare of falling asleep mid-stroke and of course, hypothermia. But amid it all, there was no quit as marathon swimmers Alex Cape and Susan Simmons accomplished the 70-kilometre Cowichan Lake double, a non-stop, 31-hour adventure from

Friday, Aug. 22 to Saturday, Aug. 23. “The both of us are beat up, we’re tired,” said Simmons, whose neck was so chafed, it was still cushioned under a heap of fresh gauze and bandages five days later. The Victoria duo started and ended the epic swim on the beach of the Lake Cowichan community. They launched at 2:45 p.m. on Friday. Cape, 34, reached the turnaround point of Heather Campground at about 5:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Simmons, 49, reached Heather shortly after. It was about two hours longer than the time it took them to do the same 34

There were a lot of mental challenges and it definitely dragged on at points, but I’m so glad we did it,” Cape said. While the two are awaiting confirmation that the swim is among the top 15 per cent of open water distances ever completed, there was no waiting to confirm they had joined an exclusive group of 120 people to swim 24 hours straight.

Tyler Hass, left, was named the most valuable player of the Victoria Shamrocks for the 2014 Western Lacrosse Association playoffs. The former star of the UVic Vikes basketball team is part of the Shamrocks’ fast and agile defence, helping the team to its second straight Mann Cup appearance. Kevin Light Photography

Speedy Shamrocks chase Mann Cup Rebuilt defence restores former Shamrock glory Travis Paterson News staff

It’s no secret how strong the Victoria Shamrocks defence has been in helping the team reach the Mann Cup final. After winning the Western Lacrosse Association championship by eliminating the Maple Ridge Burrards in five games last week, the Shamrocks are off to Ontario today to compete for the Mann Cup national lacrosse championship. It is the second straight WLA championship for the Shamrocks, who dropped just one game in the playoffs, sweeping the New Westminster Salmonbellies in four games and losing just once to the Burrards. The Shamrocks mighty offence was consistent throughout the postseason. Corey Small finished tied for second in WLA playoff scoring with 38 points and newcomer Dhane Smith, a slick pickup for the Rocks this year, led all scorers with 41 points. And with Rhys Duch, one of the greatest shooters of all time, Jesse King and Scott Ranger, yes, the Shamrocks are

blessed up front. But none of those guys won the WLA’s playoff MVP award. That went to Tyler Hass, a defender. It’s a testament not just to Hass’ game but a tip of the hat to the Shamrocks’ core of fast, athletic defencemen. Hass did score nine playoff goals, perhaps making it easier to give him the MVP. “I was surprised.” Hass said. “Especially since most people know it usually goes to the person with the most offensive numbers beside their name.” The Rocks are almost always offensively gifted, but in the last two years it’s been a new mindset of relentless attack, particularly on defence, that’s pushed it over the hump. Because if goals are the important thing, then Small has 14 more than Hass. If it’s assists that matter, Smith has 24 more than Hass. “I always consider there’s an offensive side of my game and I push the ball, I run it, and I get a couple chances per game,” Hass said. “The only difference is lately I’ve just

You’re Invited!

been making it count. The stick is working well, otherwise I’m playing the same way I always have.” Still, there’s little chance the Shamrocks’ defensive game, which still has its share of rough-and-tumbles, would have won this type of honour four years ago. Back then they couldn’t stop the New Westminster Salmonbellies or Langley Thunder, while they ran speedier defences against the Shamrocks. “We were young and we had our fair share of playoff losses. We used to play an old style defence and now we’ve modernized with faster, athletic guys than what we used to have,” Hass said. Making up the formidable Rocks defence are imports Tyler Burton, brothers Jon and Greg Harnett, and Bradley Kri, who mix well with homegrown talents Hass, Karsen Leung and Matt Yager (a forward, but tenacious nonetheless), among others. It’s a particularly impressive award for Hass, considering he came back to the game at the highest level after giving it up during the most critical stage of his development career to play basketball for the UVic Vikes.

Free Open House

After rising to an all-star level with the Vikes, Hass has clearly figured this game out too. Or maybe the time he’s taken off this year to spend with his wife Jacquie McMorran and 10-month-old daughter Gracia has allowed him to focus. Now the team looks to do what the Chiefs did last year, and win the Mann Cup on foreign turf. The Burrards were a tough team, great preparation for what’s coming next, he said. “Our whole team was ecstatic to finish the Burrards in five games. They’re better than winning one game. They make you work every shift, they make it a grind, and are not a team you want to keep playing. “Six Nations grinded us out last year, they wore us down a bit, and in the end it worked for them. It served as a good reminder against Maple Ridge, that we have to play through that, don’t let them wear you down, they’ll keep hitting you,” Hass said. Win or lose at the Mann Cup Hass, and Burton, another big reason for the Shamrocks’ surge, have been reunited on another team, as they’ll suit up for the Vancouver Stealth in the National Lacrosse League with fellow Rocks Duch and Kri. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Ice bucket challenge a cool fundraiser Go ahead, take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. You’ll be cool if you do it, in more ways than one. Most of us, by now, have seen our Facebook friends or celebrities participating in what has been a wildly successful fundraiser for ALS societies around the world. The concept is simple The right and fun – douse yourself kind of trend with a bucket of ice water, make a donation for the hot to your local ALS summer society, and challenge three others to do the of 2014 same. The ice bucket challenge has been exactly the right kind of fundraiser for the summer of 2014. In modern times, many of us are goofing off for the sake of a YouTube clip anyway, so we might as well do it for a good cause. The ALS Society of Canada was reporting last week that including its provincial affiliates, the ice bucket challenge had raised some $800,000 and counting. This summer’s donations are a hundred-fold beyond anything the society has ever seen. A lot of people have had some laughs dumping ice water on their head, but for most, the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge isn’t just a thoughtless stunt. Facebook friends are reportedly ‘policing’ the fundraiser – those who fail to mention ALS in their videos or demonstrate some awareness of the cause are criticized. There is no cure for ALS, but researchers right here in B.C., at the University of British Columbia, could be close to a breakthrough. And our silly stunts could make a difference. All it takes a bucket of ice water, a cheque, good intentions and hope.

Look beyond numbers in education dispute An open letter from BC School Trustees Association president Teresa Rezansoff. With school’s start here, the bargaining impasse between the provincial government and the BC Teachers’ Federation hinges on numbers – numbers about wages, benefits and class size. But behind those numbers are over half a million students who are waiting anxiously to start their school year on time. Whether it is their very first day in kindergarten or the beginning of their last year as a high school student, they are the reason any of those other numbers matter. School trustees across BC want our schools open and ready for students on Sept. 2. We have called on the government to immediately put strike savings back into schools to help address concerns regarding class size and composition. We have told the Ministers of Education and Finance that the money for the proposed $40-a-day subsidy for parents would be better spent on students in schools. We continue our advocacy for improved education funding, and our trustee representatives at the bargaining table are calling for maintaining flexibility on class size and composition to improve the learning

settings for students. The two parties were approximately a percentage point apart on salary and one year apart on the proposed term of the contract – items that could be resolved through mediation. However, the proposed increases to benefits, the workload fund and the $5000 signing bonus request makes the full package well outside the affordability range. BC’s public education system ranks among the very best in the world, due in large part to our talented and

dedicated teachers. Trustees believe that teachers deserve a fair wage increase, but the BCTF’s overall compensation proposal needs to be aligned with other BC public sector agreements. The issues are complex. This is not just about money. Ultimately, we need an agreement that meets the needs of students and provides longterm stability for public education. A deal can be reached. Teresa Rezansoff BCSTA President

With blacksmiths hammering the anvil, sheep being shorn and a live reenactment of a day-in-the-life of Metchosin 2,000 years ago, you know it's Metchosin Day. The annual festivities at Metchosin Day celebrate everything Metchosin and more, Sunday, Sept. 7 at the Metchosin municipal grounds. Starting at 8 a.m. with a 5 km run/walk to raise donations for the Senior's Information and Resource Centre, the event goes until 7 p.m., packed with activities, displays and vendors. "It's kind of an oldfashioned fair," says

Mary Gidney, who's organizing the event. "You could spend the whole day there. It costs nothing to get in. There's a giant field to park in and parking is free." The most expensive activities are the hay rides and turns on the digger, at 25 and 50 cents apiece, she says. For those interested in astronomy, models of the solar system and an ecliptic calendar will be set up across the field, sharing the space with Project Germani, a group reenacting first century BC to the first century AD showing off food, crafts, armour and clothing of the era. The pet show at 11 a.m. draws a huge crowd every year. "I've seen everything from a rat to a donkey to a rooster," says Gidney. "It's an incredible menagerie of animals, and everyone is welcome."

Two stages showcase the entertainment this year, with the acoustic stage offering a low-key atmosphere to enjoy the photography competition. At 5 p.m., dinner is served. "For $20, you get roasted lamb, barbecued salmon, corn on the cob, watermelon, coleslaw and mint jelly," says Gidney, and for an extra $3, a slice of pie or cake from the baked goodie contest. More than 100 vendors will be set up on the village green, from wool spinning, pottery and jewelry to farmfresh produce, herbs and honey. The event, and surrounding parking, are free. Volunteers are still needed. For more information or to register as a volunteer, call Mary Gidney at 250474-6145 or email info@ metchosinday.ca. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Planting a canopy at Colwood Creek Park Trees of Tomorrow grant to plant throughout Colwood Creek Park Arnold Lim News staff

Colwood Creek Park is branching out. Hundreds of new trees are coming to Colwood courtesy of a provincial grant aimed at providing cleaner, healthier air in a largescale urban forestation program where millions of trees will be planted across the province. “Putting the trees in Colwood Creek makes an abundance of sense and the city has taken a keen interest over the years of

equipment coming to the playground. “It was clear to us the wooden structure had outlived its usefulness so council chose to replace it with a new, more functional piece of equipment.” The Colwood Creek Park Play area will see new climbing and musical equipment to replace the aging wooden equipment. New three-foot-high split fencing around the playground aimed at helping parents keep track of children and preventing pets from making their way onto the playground is expected to start in late September. “(These are) exciting improvements to one of Colwood’s jewels and hopefully represents more of things to come,” Logan said. For up-to-date information visit colwood.ca. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

grant provides an awesome opportunity to meet that challenge head on,” Logan said. Colwood’s public works staff are expected to start planting in the fall after new soil amendments have settled in as part of the preparation for planting. A survey asking residents how they used the park and what they would like to see there, alongside a University of Victoria student study showing additional trees would improve the health of the creek precipitated the program which won’t be the only addition to the long-standing park. “As a parent that lives in the neighbourhood with three young kids, any addition is a good addition to the (playground). It’s one of our more heavily used areas in the LANDSCAPE city and we want to make sure the structure LANDSCAPE TIES in our parks are safe,”LANDSCAPE Logan said of new

maintaining and fostering the ecosystem of Colwood Creek,” said Colwood Coun. Gordie Logan. “This plays into our goal in improving Colwood Creek Park and also in protecting (the) creek itself.” The Trees of Tomorrow grant from the BC Air Action Plan is earmarked for the riparian area (or land along streams or waterways) of the creek and sees the reforestation of Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Red Alder and Black Cottonwood planted along seven areas identified as needing the most trees with respect to where the trees would best thrive. The $20,000 grant will be matched by the City of Colwood. “We all know trees clean and protect the air we breathe and with the importance of maintaining and protecting our urban forest, council saw the Trees of Tomorrow

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

Your School-age Child’s Eyes

A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer. The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond. Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together. Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly. Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead. Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together. Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems. Symptoms include: losing their place while reading; avoiding close work; holding reading material closer than normal; tending to rub their eyes often; complaining of headaches; turning or tilting head and appearing to use one eye only; making frequent transpositions of letters or words when reading or writing; omitting small words when reading; consistently performing below the level of their peer group. Since vision changes can occur without anyone noticing, children should visit the Optometrist at least every two years. More frequent visits may be necessary if specific problems or risk factors exist. The doctor can prescribe treatment if needed. Remember, a school screening is not a substitute for a thorough eye examination.

Market abuzz with local fare Angela Cowan

Highland Honey Farm is just one of a number of vendors that have called the market home for years, but new folks still come in from time to time. This is Melissa Piasta’s first season at the Goldstream Station market. Morphed Mail, her line of postage stamp jewelry, was built from her collection of unique and picturesque stamps garnered from the Goldstream swap meets when she was a kid, and the pieces have only grown in popularity. “The West Shore has totally embraced it,” she says. She makes a point of labelling each

Rob Justice has been coming to the Goldstream Station market for years, showing off his bees and selling honey. “The queen’s in there, you just have to look carefully,” he says to two children peering intently into his glass display case, where hundreds of honeybees bustle and buzz over their hexagonal wax frame. Noses pressed close, the kids are finally rewarded with a glimpse of the regal bee, whose body is longer than the workers, adorned with a white dot.

Crashes happen often in pro cycling, but not the kind Nic Hamilton experienced. The 27-year-old Saanich resident – who spent plenty of time circling Colwood’s Westshore Velodrome this year – was on the Canadian track cycling team at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow when his name went national. It was July 23, the day of the Opening Ceremonies, and Hamilton had just clipped a marshal during a training session in the velodrome. Both went tumbling after the 60 km/h crash. “When you have a crash like that, it can go one of two ways,” Hamilton said from Calgary, where he was prepping for the upcoming Tour of Alberta, Sept. 2 to 9. “Either you have both people pointing fingers at each other, or both are saying sorry, and it was the latter. You can’t sit around and say whose fault it was. Both the volunteer and myself were trying to do our jobs.” It was with that mindset Hamilton moved to recover emotionally and physically from the crash. He was concussed, and a series of injuries to the small back muscles kept him in bed for the better part of three days. The marshal, a Glaswegian woman, also suffered a concussion and broken collarbone. Hamilton missed the track cycling portion of the event but was able to get back on his bike for the road race on Aug. 3, the final day of the Games. The crash was part of a roller coaster that ended with three stages of recovery. “I’m a very positive person, so for me my natural reaction is to be optimistic. I can count on my fingers the number of times I’ve ever been mad. On the first day, I was okay. But the next day, I was frustrated thinking, ‘Six months of prep was thrown away.’ By the third day I knew

Velodrome cyclist Nic Hamilton recovered quickly from crash that kept him from representing Canada at the Commonwealth Games. I needed to move forward. And in the end, I was able to come away having competed in the road race.” Hamilton also credits his speedy recovery to the Canadian medical staff who were on site and immediately took him in. He attended the Games clinic for three sessions a day with a physiotherapist, massage therapist and medical doctor, who followed the rigid concussion protocol. Hamilton didn’t finish the road race, but was in good company as only 11 of the 140 starters completed, most of them among the world’s elite, such as winner Geraint Thomas. Hamilton will finish the season with his Jelly Belly pro cycling teammates at the Tour of Alberta and will then fly to Japan for the three-day Tour de Hokkaido. “The Games didn’t derail anything,” he said. “It was just a temporary setback. reporter@saanichnews.com

B.C. lands agreement for wine, spirits trade

Walk-In Denture Clinic WHY WAIT? WE CAN HELP NOW! Home & Hospital Visits Happiness is a beautiful smile!

Raises hopes among B.C. wineries for national free trade Jeff Nagel Black Press

B.C. wineries and distillers are gaining easier access to the Saskatchewan market as a result of an inter-provincial trade agreement. Now B.C. breweries are hoping the premiers continue to talk about a similar expansion for beer. Consumers in B.C. and Saskatchewan are now able to order wines and craft spirits directly from produc-

ers in either provinces. The deal takes effect next June. The agreement was concluded by Premier Christy Clark and Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall at a premiers meeting in Charlottetown. Clark said the deal helps build momentum for freer trade with other provinces, long sought by the B.C. wine industry. Previously, Saskatchewan consumers could only buy B.C. wines or

spirits through provincial government stores in that province. “Access to new markets is important as we look to build on the strength of our growing industry,” said Tyler Dyck of the B.C. Craft Distillers Guild. While Saskatchewan isn’t known for its wine, craft distillers like Colin Schmidt of the Last Mountain Lake Distillery in Lumsden, Sask. now hopes to tempt B.C. drinkers into trying his dill pickle

vodka. “We have a loyal fol(250) 595-1665 lowing in Saskatchewan and cannot wait 3581 Shelbourne Street to share our awardwww.walk-indentureclinic.ca winning spirits with consumers in British COME ON IN FOR YOUR Columbia.” FREE CONSULTATION!

It will also maintain a balance between growth and the City’s unique culture,” says the Colwood plan. Further examples include creating a comprehensive waterfront plan, improving public access to the water’s edge and public use of waterfront amenities, strengthening post-secondary presence, working to secure a performing arts centre or cultural centre, improving street edges on Sooke Road to reinforce pedestrian use, introducing sidewalks and bike lanes to calm traffic, improving overall housing affordability, and working to encourage business and mixed-use developments. “A lot of this stuff has been on our radar screen,” says Bourhill. “It’s quite exciting.” The City stressed its commitment to sustainabil-
