Metchosin mountaintop fire requires help for volunteer department Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

A brush fire on Mount Blinkhorn proved bigger than first expected.

Volunteers with the Metchosin fire department began tackling the blaze just after noon on Friday and were quickly faced with a challenging situation.

“We saw the smoke from the fire hall before we were even paged for it,” said Fire Chief Stephanie Dunlop. “We knew based on the smoke it wasn’t just a small campfire.”

The department immediately paged for help from neighbouring fire halls and from the B.C. Forestry Service.

The fire was initially estimated at about three hectares, but further investigation revealed its size to be closer to 6.5 hectares, said Dunlop, and on very difficult terrain.

“There’s a long, narrow driveway to get up to the top. We ran out of water, and finally it was such a big fire we weren’t able to get enough water on it. The B.C. forestry crews were a huge benefit to us,” she adds. “They’re the experts on this.”

Countess thrills youngster during Jeneece Place tour Sophie Rhys-Jones teams up with young patient for winning foosball game Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

The sun was shining and the weather co-operated beautifully to welcome a royal visitor to Jeneece Place as part of a tour across Canada.

Jeneece Edroff and Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island CEO Linda Hughes were on hand to greet Her Royal Highness, Sophie Rhys-Jones, Countess of Wessex, and lead her through a tour of the 10-bedroom facility on Saturday.

As the Countess walked around, touring a bedroom, the large volunteer-run kitchen, games room and other common areas, she was impressed by the house’s inclusiveness for its families.

“It feels very comfortable for all levels and all ages,” she said, noting that facilities like Jeneece Place “make all the difference in the world” to parents and families undergoing medical challenges.

As the tour moved downstairs, the Countess had the chance to meet nine-year-old Abigail McCorquodale and her parents, Doug and Brenda, from Port Hardy.

“I was born without a piece of my esophagus, so it closes off sometimes,” said Abigail, explaining why

she has stayed at Jeneece Place in the past. “I have to get surgery to open it up.”

The Countess chatted with the McCorquodales, inquiring about their other children and about their experiences at Jeneece Place.

“Jeneece Place didn’t exist when Abigail was born,” said Brenda, and called it a “Godsend” to have a comfortable and welcoming place to stay when Abigail is in hospital. “It just touches your heart that there are places like this out there.”

The Countess and Abigail then took their places across the foosball table to challenge Abigail’s parents to a rousing game. All had looks of intense concentration as the rubber ball bounced back and forth, but the royal side prevailed, winning the game 5-2 and celebrating with a friendly squeeze.

Abigail blushed, her grin stretching across her face as the Countess thanked her with a smile and said goodbye. Abigail was still beaming as she returned to stand with her parents. What did she think of playing foosball with royalty?

“It was really exciting!”

The Countess and her husband, Prince Edward, toured B.C. from Sept. 12 to 16, visiting Victoria, Vancouver and Kelowna, as well as the Ditidaht and ‘Namgis First Nations on the Island.

From the west coast, Prince Edward travels to Saskatchewan from Sept. 17 to 19, while the Countess heads to northern Ontario. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Her Highness the Countess of Wessex, Sophie Rhys-Jones, shares a laugh and a game of foosball with Abigail McCorquodale, 9, in the games room at Jeneece Place. The teammates won the game 5-2 against Abigail’s parents. The Countess’ tour of the facility with Lt.-Gov. Judith Guichon was one component of a Royal Visit to Greater Victoria by Sophie and her husband, Prince Edward.

Doors thrown open for tour of Colwood solar home Homeowner thrilled with benefits of “green” power

Marilyn Shepherd will be opening her home to the public on Saturday, Sept.

20 as part of a solar tour, put on by Solar Colwood. The tour gives people a chance to talk to the homeowner about the realities of solar power. Solar Colwood and Royal Roads University researchers will also be available to answer questions.

Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

Colwood resident Marilyn Shepherd is opening her home to anyone who’s ever wanted to learn more about solar power and improving energy efficiency.

Shepherd, who upgraded to solar hot water and high-efficiency ductless heat pumps nearly three years ago, says this Saturday’s (Sept. 20) open house offers a chance for people to see how solar power actually works.

“It’s an easier way, an informal setting, for people to just walk over and take a look,” she says.

“It’s a great opportunity to come and learn.”

Visitors can not only see solar power at work and speak with a homeowner experienced with the technology, they can chat with Royal Roads University researchers who have studied the energy savings, as well as representatives from Solar Colwood.

And with Solar Colwood giving out grants until March 2015,

Contributed by Solar Colwood

there’s still time to upgrade to solar hot water, ductless heat pumps, solar photovoltaic (electricity), or a combination of the three. Solar CRD also offers incentives to residents and businesses throughout the Capital Region.

For Shepherd, once she heard about the grant program, upgrading to solar was a no-brainer.

“We’ve been wanting to be greener for a long time,” she says.

“With climate change, it’s a huge thing in our house. We talk about

it all the time.”

Shepherd and her family bought into the Royal Bay area in 2005 when they moved over from the mainland.

“Being new, our house was quite efficient already. Our concern was that we had baseboard heating, which isn’t that efficient. And we have between five and seven people in the house, so we go through a lot of hot water, even if we’re careful.”

With heating so expensive in the

wintertime, Shepherd says, she just wouldn’t turn on the baseboard system. “The heat pump made a huge difference in our comfort level. Before we would just be cold.”

The difference in her gas bill has been substantial too.

“Our hot water here is gas, and particularly from April to October, we virtually pay no extra gas bill beyond just the basic charge every month,” Shepherd says.

Her savings aren’t unusual.

Royal Roads has been researching the utility bills of participating homeowners and has found they’re saving an average of 40 per cent on utility bills, says Glenys Verhulst, spokesperson with Solar Colwood.

“Those are significant savings.

We’ve seen a lot of folks who are nearing retirement choose to do these upgrades so they lock in energy savings for the future,” she adds.

For those who install the solar photovoltaic system for electricity, an extra bonus is available.

Whatever excess energy the system produces goes back into the hydro grid, Verhulst says. It’s shared amongst the neighbourhood and – the best part – BC Hydro credits you for the excess.

Verhulst recommends anyone interested in upgrading to solar power get an assessment first to figure out the best options for the home.

“It’s really house-specific,” she says. “We can help you figure out if it’s right for you.”

The open house runs from 2 to 4 p.m. Saturday, at 475 Royal Bay Drive in Colwood. For more information, visit solarcolwood.ca or crd.bc.ca. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Fire site still being monitored Monday Continued from Page A1

An evacuation alert for several residential areas was issued, and crews stayed overnight, spot checking the perimeter and hot spots every hour.

Gathering winds saw a brief flare-up in some hot spots the next morning, said Dunlop, but the blaze was officially completely contained by 5 p.m. on Saturday.

“We were very, very fortunate that it was contained to the top of the hill,” she said.

“Nobody was formally evacuated, no lives were lost, no structures were lost, no injuries were reported.”

The Metchosin fire department will continue to monitor the hot spots for roughly a week, depending on weather.

As of Monday, Ministry of Forests firefighters, as well as some Metchosin members remained on site. As well, the path around Mount Blinkhorn was still closed.

Dunlop said the cause of the fire was very likely human. “A

cigarette or campfire. But it’s so burnt up there it’s hard to tell.”

The fire rating is back up to extreme, and Dunlop urges anyone who does have a fire to ensure that it’s completely extinguished.

The chief also expressed “many, many thanks to all the volunteers that helped out.”

“We had crews out from all over. Everybody came out, all volunteers … there was probably close to 2,000 hours of volunteer time over four days.” acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL 2014 GENERAL LOCAL ELECTIONS NOTICE OF NOMINATION

Dwarf car win seals speedway title Other 2014 champions use top-three finishes to nail down season crowns With a lot on the line, drivers had an extra adrenaline rush battling for the 2014 season titles Saturday at Western Speedway.

In some classes, drivers gunning for the title had an opportunity to overtake the leader, while in others, a solid night by the top dog would be enough to preserve their lead and come away with the championship.

The dwarf car class saw Stuart Lee grab the lead early and cruise to victory in the 25-lap main event to capture the season crown. Well back were second-place finisher Tovay Helgesen, Miles Maxie in third and Matt May in fourth.

In the non-wing sprint car 30-lap main, Jeff Montgomery took the lead on lap 19 and left the field behind to take the checkered flag.

Always dangerous Jeff Bird gained the pole spot with the

fast time, but dropped out of the race on the first lap, leaving the field wide open.

Mark Stuart, who finished third behind Mark Parkinson and ahead of Duane Zeinstra in fourth, took the season championship.

A similar situation presented itself to stock car points leader Kyle Cottam, who entered the night with a sizeable lead over Chris McInerny. Cottam raced hard, but safe in the 35-lap main event, placing third behind race winner Wayne Hart and secondplace finisher McInerny to wrap up the title.

Hart, who had traded the lead with McInerny several times in the race, grabbed the lead for good on the last lap, going to the inside on McInerny and winning by a slim margin.

In the 25-lap IMSA mini stock main, Sean Constantine overtook the pole sitters for the lead on the first lap and held it for 20 laps before being overtaken on lap 21 by Ryan Patterson, who had doggedly hung with the leader throughout.

Patterson hung on for the race win, but it was Constantine who took the season title with a sec-

ond-place finish.

Matt Szauer and Justin Woodske were third and fourth, respectively, in the night’s main event.

In the Old-Time Racer’s Association 25-lap finale, James Miller – he showed his speed earlier by qualifying fastest – jumped into the lead by lap 16 and led the rest of the way. He won by a comfortable length ahead of Jesse Dardengo, Joe Dardengo and James Campbell, in that order.

The speedway season winds up this Saturday (Sept. 20) with the championship night for demo cars and trucks, figure 8s and bombers.

Entering the final night, class leaders include Jim Young in demo cars, Billy Stidston in demo trucks, Aaron Cameron in bombers and Rhett Szevics in figure 8s. All classes have three drivers who can win the title with a big night.

Gates open at 4:30 p.m. with qualifying at 5:30 and racing at 6:30. For more information, visit westernspeedway.net.

Young karate athlete adds world medals to list Langford’s Isaac Ickovich shines at his first international event

The 14-year-old competed for the first time in the World Martial Arts Games in Richmond earlier this month, winning gold in the judged self-defence category and bronze in both point sparring and continuous sparring, an event much like kickboxing.

“I’ve been to lots of tournaments, but this was topnotch, amazing,” he said back home in Langford. “I was just very glad to compete for my country and be at one of the biggest stages next to the Olympics. Just getting a medal is the cherry on top.”

The ninth annual tournament – the first was held in Victoria in

With so many splinter organizations and styles, the sport of karate has yet to be accepted into the Olympic Games.

Isaac Ickovich is confident it’ll happen one day, however, and when it does, he plans to be ready to compete for Canada.

Approximately 180 athletes from a dozen or so countries competed in Richmond.

“It’s truly amazing. It shows what sport can do to bring countries together,” Ickovich said of the event, which inspired a real sense of camaraderie and celebration not unlike the Olympics, he added.

Ickovich, a Spencer middle school Grade 9 student and first dan black belt who trains in the Shotokan style under sensei Raj Basi at Canada’s Best Karate in Langford, competed in the 13- and 14-year-old black belt division.

A strapping six-foot-four, he was easily the tallest in his category and used his size to good advantage.

The self-defence event, which sees the athlete work with an attacking partner, includes six moves which the pair must first do slow, then fast. Ickovich received marks of 9.6 across the

Point sparring is somewhat like kickboxing, with punches and

kicks, but the action stops when points are scored. Ickovich easily won his bronze medal match 7-2, after nearly making it to the final. Down 6-0 midway through the semifinal, he charged back to make it 6-6 and force sudden death overtime, where he lost by one point.

Ickovich won bronze with a unanimous decision in his final continuous sparring match, after losing a split decision in the semifinal. Fighters go two 90-second rounds and judges determine round and match winners based on connected punches and kicks, technique and movements.

“I’m hoping to get back for the next one … and this time I want to go for a sweep,” Ickovich said.

As for keeping the Olympics in his sights, he is excited about the prospect of karate’s acceptance into the Summer Games based on the TAFISA connection, and figures he may just be about the right age to qualify by the time it happens.

“I definitely see (Olympics) down the road, I really want to be an Olympic athlete.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Commute snarl doesn’t take much A couple of days this past week, minor crashes between vehicles have led to major consequences for hundreds of unsuspecting motorists trying to get into town for work, appointments or other reasons.

Now, we know not all of the traffic tie-ups are crash-related – there is the occasional medical emergency that prompts ambulances, fire trucks and police to snake their way through the line and respond.

But for the most part, it’s drivers either not paying attention to the slow-moving line in front of them or trying to drive more aggressively than the conditions allow for.

It’s a common situation for any metropolitan areas with heavy commuting traffic.

Solving this issue is not as simple as lobbying the Ministry of Highways to eliminate part of the grass median dividing the highway between the Colwood turnoff and a spot just south of the exit to Victoria General Hospital.

Nor would removing the light at the McKenzie/Admirals Road intersection with Highway 1 avoid such a problem, despite the ongoing efforts of former federal election candidate Troy DeSouza.

Not only are both solutions not likely in the cards given the cost, emergency vehicles still need to have room to operate and will still slow down traffic as they do their job, to keep everyone safe.

So that leaves the responsibility for driving safely up to those of us who use the road on a regular basis.

Police have stepped up their watch for people talking on their cellphones while driving and according to ICBC, volunteers are serving on community deployments keeping an eye out for violators of the province’s ban on cellphone use while driving.

While we can’t be guaranteed someone else won’t do something foolish way ahead of us in the commuting line, we can at least take care of our own driving habits, pay attention and stay off the phone outside of hands-free use.

Reducing the number of cars? That’s a whole other matter and a discussion for another day in this space.

overturn other contracts that were agreed to by the BCTF. Its lawyers say, in effect, the deleted terms covering working conditions weren’t there to negotiate.

The Coalition of B.C. Businesses has entered the case as an intervener, arguing for the supremacy of elected governments when providing public services.

Its submission notes that unlike private disputes, the right to strike is often curtailed in the public sector, and sometimes eliminated as with police and health care.

“When critical aspects of public policy are jeopardized by employee demands, those aspects could be legislated; where a fiscal downturn or inflationary pressures required austerity measures, they could be implemented through legislation; where strikes jeopardize important public services, the legislature could pass back-to-work legislation, and so on.”

It’s been obvious for many years that the BCTF doesn’t function like a normal union, and isn’t much interested in starting to do so.

Its leadership sees itself as an agent of “social justice,” a belief demonstrated by its promotion of flawed poverty statistics and pronouncements on everything from U.S. labour law to conflict in the Middle East.

Its decades-old instruction to government is blunt: raise taxes and give us the money.

Recycling boss responds to merchant’s comments Re: Regional recycling plant shut out by B.C. program (Gazette, Sept. 12) While news of any business closure is always concerning, there are some important clarifications to make with regards to the Multi-Material BC (MMBC) recycling program’s perceived role in the closure of Syntal Products.

The owner of Syntal Products claims that the MMBC program resulted in a loss of 60 per

cent of the plastics that would otherwise go to Syntal Products.

While we cannot corroborate that figure, MMBC’s program only manages residential recycling of printed paper and packaging the recyclables collected from residents’ curbside or multi-family building recycling containers, and from depots, which leaves a considerable amount of plastics that can still be recovered and marketed from the commercial, industrial and

institutional sectors.

MMBC estimates that at a minimum, 50 per cent of plastics in B.C. come from the commercial sector.

Further, while MMBC works with 161 local government and other collectors to provide collection services to 1.25 million households, approximately 70 collectors have not joined the MMBC program and do not have their plastics (and other recyclables) processed by

Metchosin mayor a Graham Hill fan Our region will suffer a significant loss upon the retirement of View Royal Mayor and Capital Regional District director Graham Hill.

With one of the best minds in politics and outstanding ability as an orator, he has had a positive influence in regional governance.

I sincerely doubt we will again see a local representative with such a strong combination of character, wisdom and passion for true public service.

Mayor John Ranns District of Metchosin

Political watcher has different opinion Regrets, I’m not impressed by Graham Hill’s accomplishments reported Sept. 12 (Longtime mayor calling it quits).

The mural along Island Highway is neat, but only of much use to people sitting

behind windows across the street. In between is the ashtray ditch, of little value. I say “ashtray ditch” because jerk drivers from the Greater Victoria area throw lit cigarette butts into it, which starts fires that block traffic. That’s a small example of many reasons more police are needed.

The bicycle lanes are indeed great, and turning lanes help traffic flow, but View Royal failed to provide proper merging lanes west of Admirals Road.

As for View Royal’s small contribution to the Craigflower Bridge, that is of little value to the people who paid much more of the cost – Saanich taxpayers – the result is a cheaped turning lane onto Island Highway and a wasteful, bulged deck whose width, intended for fishers, has been taken up with benches.

During Hill’s time as mayor,

View Royal council delayed Jeneece Place for months, out of fear that someone might build a motel near a place with visiting specialists and technicians, in a town that has no motels to speak of.

It is odd that Hill’s list does not include the new fire station.

While not complete yet, it should be a good addition to the area. (That was a controversial project due to the cost-and-approval method, with game playing done by some residents.)

Meanwhile, Hill failed to carry out the duty of government, the reason it exists – protect people, by financially supporting adequate levels of policing.

So I ask View Royal voters to think about what is most important when they choose a new mayor this fall.

Threatened species found The Nature Conservancy’s summer conservation covenant monitoring turned up some interesting species in Highlands private lands.

Among the animals found in the Coastal Douglas fir forests were an olive-sided flycatcher, the populations of which have declined by 68 per cent in the past 30 years. Also, a pocket of the extremely rare Aspen-Slough Sedge ecosystem was discovered on one of the covenants. This nutrient rich ecosystem occurs in swamps that are tolerant of seasonal flooding and a high water table. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

How to use EYE DROPS correctly Occasionally one uses prescription or non prescription eye drops to treat certain eye conditions, infections or diseases. It is always a battle to try and aim the drop so that it has a perfect “landing” without most of the contents running down your face.

Before you use any eye drops, be sure to tell your Optometrist about any other prescription or nonprescription medications that you are taking or any allergies that you have.

Here are some general tips about correctly putting eye drops in your eyes.

1. Look at the ceiling by standing or sitting and tilting your head backwards. Some people like to lie down on a flat surface.

2. The best way to ensure the drop remains in your eye is to gently pull the skin of your lower eyelid between your thumb and index finger to create a “pocket” for the drop. If you are unable to master this, gently pull your lower lid down with your index finger.

3. Look up (so you are not looking directly at the bottle) and gently release a drop into the pocket of your eye. Keep the bottle’s nozzle or the eyedropper clean by not touching it to any part of your eyes.

4. If you are unable to get the drop into you eye because of blinking, try this: Close your eye and pull the lower lid down. Aim the drop into the inside corner of your eye. Open your eye and let the drop run into your lower lid. (Be sure to try the open-eye method at your next scheduled dose as it is a more reliable way to ensure the drop remains in your eye).

5. To help keep the medication in your eye and prevent it from escaping through the tear duct, your optometrist may instruct you to “occlude” this duct by gently pressing on the inside corner of your closed eye with your index finger for about three minutes. If drops have been placed in both eyes, you can perform occlusion by placing your thumb and index finger (or the index fingers of both hands) on either side of your nose and gently pressing down on the inside corners of both closed eyes. This step is very important with some medications, so do not skip it if your doctor specifies it.

6. Gently blot your closed eyes with a tissue to wipe away any excess drops.

7. If you use more than one kind of drop, wait at least five minutes between drops.

Be sure to follow all of the instructions that your doctor of optometry gives you and to complete the course of medication or treatment he or she recommends. If you experience any side-effects, (such as burning, inflammation, puffiness, itching, etc.) notify your eye care practitioner immediately. Many eye drops should be thrown away six weeks after being opened. Ask your pharmacist at the time of purchase.

Wednesday, September September 17, 17, 2014 2014 -- GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE Wednesday,

Reader Photo of the Week

Langford resident Bernadette Blackley enjoys taking her dog, Snowy, for a stroll on the Ed Nixon Trail walkways around Langford Lake. She captured her four-legged friend at one end of a scenic bridge on the trail this summer.

While the pastoral scene was well-framed, the exposure was nearly as eye-catching, giving it an almost antique look.

Blackley, whose effort earned our Reader Photo of the Week honours, called these trails “one of the best-kept secrets in Victoria.”

If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that.

Every Wednesday, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a highresolution .jpg copy to editor@ goldstreamgazette.com.

Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image.

Entries must be received by 5 p.m. on Friday to be

included for consideration for the following week’s paper.

The weekly winners will also be posted ahead of time on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!

Colwood helps out ICBC The City of Colwood, through which a large amount of commuter traffic flows, has given ICBC some space on the municipal website for the insurance company’s Leave Your Phone Alone cell phone campaign.

The news item reminds viewers that police have increased enforcement throughout B.C. and community volunteers will be conducting “cell watch” deployments to remind drivers to leave the phone alone while operating motor vehicles.

Giving nature a helping hand Josh Bates of Saanich prepares a spot for planting a native plant in the forest at Portage Park in View Royal. In all, 23 volunteers and 15 members of the Greater Victoria Green Team worked to clear areas of the park of invasive species, mainly English ivy, and plant about 160 native species such as sword ferns and the thorny Oregon grape.

Langford seeks input on ‘Age-Friendly’ plan The City of Langford is holding an open house next Thursday (Sept. 25) to get the public’s input as they continue developing their Age-Friendly Action Plan.

The City received an agefriendly community planning and projects grant from the Ministry of Health in November 2013 to develop the action plan, and are now looking to get more input from residents

between 50 and 65.

“We’ve had a lot of input from the older population, and now we want to hear from people who aren’t quite retired yet,” said Julia Buckingham, a UVic planning co-op student hired specifically to work on the action plan.

“We just want to find out exactly what people are going to need to stay in Langford as they age.”

Welcome refreshments and information will be available at 7 p.m., followed by a talk at 7:30 p.m. by University of Victoria professor John Meldrum on transitioning to retirement from a number of perspectives, including financially.

At 8 p.m., participants are encouraged to give their suggestions for the City’s action plan regarding outdoor spaces, recreation, commu-

nity support, housing, transit, health services and social participation and inclusion.

The all-ages open house is at Langford City Hall, 877 Goldstream Ave, in the third floor council chambers.

For more information, contact Buckingham at jbuckingham@cityoflangford.ca, or call 250-474-6919 ext. 4408. acowan@goldstream gazette.com

Pressure on Saanich as amalgamation debate rages Langford and four other municipalities have agreed to place question on upcoming election ballot Daniel Palmer News staff

The Capital Region’s largest municipality is coming under increasing pressure to ask residents what they think of amalgamation at the ballot box, but Mayor Frank Leonard says the discussion isn’t one his residents want.

Esquimalt and Sidney councils recently joined Langford, Central Saanich and Victoria on the list when they agreed to put a nonbinding amalgamation question on the ballot in the Nov. 15 municipal election.

“The debate is not a Saanich debate,” Leonard said. “It’s not our place to comment on whether

our neighbours are too small.

That’s for them to do internally.”

The question will ask residents if they support moving forward with a provincially funded study of various models of integration for the region’s 13 municipalities. Municipal councils can then choose how to best proceed with those options.

John Vickers, AmalgamationYes spokesperson, said a yes majority vote would give municipal leaders the tools to evaluate the benefits of further integration.

Vickers cited an Angus Reid poll conducted in July that showed 89 per cent of people surveyed felt the amalgamation question should be put to residents at the voting booth.

“The debate is not a Saanich debate. It’s not our place to comment on whether our neighbours are too small. That’s for them to do internally.”

– Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard

“Five municipalities have recognized the right of the public to have a say on this,” Vickers said.

“As long he [Leonard] denies the call from constituents in his own community, then he’s certainly not doing any favours for the region or for Saanich.”

While an online Amalgama-

tionYes petition has less than 1,000 signatures, Vickers said volunteers have collected thousands of hard copy signatures across the region, many of those in Saanich. Specific numbers were not available.

Leonard said the logistics of managing Saanich’s sprawling

farms, parks, urban areas, lakes and streams takes a small army of 1,500 municipal employees, and that increasing those responsibilities won’t necessarily result in efficiencies.

“All our colleagues recognize these challenges, apart from maybe one vocal mayor. They too know that bigger isn’t better,” Leonard said. “The only government bigger than Saanich around here is the CRD, and that doesn’t help the bigger is better argument either.”

Saanich council does not have any discussion scheduled around the amalgamation ballot question at upcoming public meetings, he added. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Photo of Glen Rosa on Rocky Point Road, circa 1905 (left), shows a prominent orchard and home overlooking Pedder Bay inlet.

The roadway is dirt, unlike the paved road seen in the current photo, right. The current home is at least the third to stand on the property, but the view of the inlet is blocked by the growth of trees.

When the Maritime Museum opened in Victoria, Ken Reid donated it for the collection.

In the same article he recalls pioneers finding cannon balls eroded from the cliffs above what is now Witty’s Beach; they “lay as mute reminders of iron intimidation.” (Daily Colonist, June 3, 1979) Glen Rosa was sold in 1952 to an Olive Gill. Not much is known about her except she promoted a scheme to make cabins for oldsters (sic). Presumably this idea was not successful, as there are no cabins. It is an intriguing idea, what with our aging population, but surely would be contrary to Metchosin planning permits!

The land was divided over the years. One memorable owner, Deborah Hertzberg, renamed it “Kilima” in honour of her Kenyan background. She ran a lovely tea house for some years, the highlight being able to choose your own teapot from a vast array stacked on the shelves.

The story of Glen Rosa is far from over. The present owners use the original name and tend the remaining fruit trees.

They have a few sheep reminiscent of the large flocks run by the Reids and the Vines. The whole house has been rebuilt and enlarged, showcasing much of the old growth timber from the house started in 1881. Their enterprise, character and community involvement will figure in the ongoing tale of the house and land.

The School House Museum is open Saturdays 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. and Sundays 11:30 to 4:30 p.m. on Happy Valley Road.

Seaweed is a major player in the marine ecosystem. Sea urchins rely on seaweeds as their main food source and have been known to mow down entire kelp beds.

Seaweeds are also home-sweethome to many marine species that hide among the swaying blades and feast on tasty prey.

And seaweeds act as nurseries, a safe haven where animals lay their eggs and raise young.

Humans have also found dozens of uses for seaweeds and algae in day-to-day life.

Anyone who enjoys a tasty dynamite roll dipped in soya-sauce and wasabi knows too well how nutritious and delicious seaweeds can be.

I find it amazing that something so “simple” as seaweed can provide so many important uses. The next time you’re at the beach take a moment to admire the beauty and diversity of seaweeds.

Becoming a bishop this Catholic’s calling The new spiritual leader of over 94,000 Roman Catholics on Vancouver Island speaks out about how he got there Kevin Laird News staff

Bishop Gary Gordon, who was installed as the new head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Victoria last month, didn’t think he would ever become a priest, never mind a bishop.

Growing up in Burnaby, Bishop Gordon and his family attended church regularly. He was even enrolled in Catholic schools. But the thought of being a priest seemed foreign to him.

“I think being a priest was a little beyond me,” the bishop, 57, told the News during a recent interview at the diocese offices in Saanich.

“I didn’t really want to be a priest. I did want to be a missionary. The idea of letting people know the good news, I thought this was a really good idea.”

Bishop Gordon believes every Catholic boy thinks about the priesthood at some point, but in his case he thought it was asking too much of him and he wasn’t exactly enamoured with Kevin Laird/News staff school. “Priests go to school a Roman Catholic Bishop Gary Gordon: “My responsibility is to be long time,” he chuckled. there and bring the message.”

Men’s Health Day ‘saves lives’ Daniel Palmer News staff

Men perhaps aren’t the most proactive when dealing with their health, but the aim of a free clinic held Saturday at Tillicum Centre was to buck that trend with a full day of health assessments and testing.

The 13th annual Country Grocer Men’s 10am - 5 pm Daily Health Day, offered an impressive slate of free tests for men of any age including glucose, cholesterol, blood pressure, neck and throat cancer screening and PSA tests for men over 40, usually a $30 fee at the doctor’s office.
