Officer injured by fleeing motorist Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

A 20-year-old Colwood man attempted to flee a road check on Six Mile Road near Atkins Road in View Royal on Saturday night, ramming a police car and injuring an RCMP officer in the process.

At the road check, the man turned his vehicle around and drove into a nearby condo complex in the 300 block of Six Mile Rd., followed by a West Shore RCMP officer in a car.

Realizing the complex had no other exit, the man rammed the police car with the officer inside, drove over a lawn and struck a tree.

His vehicle no longer driveable, the man fled on foot, entering a nearby waterway. He eventually exited the frigid waters on his own and was taken into custody without incident.

Both the suspect and officer were transported to Victoria General Hospital by ambulance. The officer was released with non life-threatening injuries. The suspect was seen by a doctor in hospital, and is currently in custody at the West Shore RCMP detachment.

Damage to the police car is estimated at more than $10,000, and the suspect’s vehicle is heavily damaged. RCMP are asking anyone who may have witnessed the event to contact the detachment at 250474-2264. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Belmont secondary students Chelsey Ducharme, (seated from left) Brandon Forrester and Bailey Dalgliesh, overseen by teacher Shawna Goupil, are part of the IMPACT program at the Langford high school.

Helping Belmont students make an impact Students with learning designations get chance to show their abilities Arnold Lim News staff

Shawna Goupil looks out at a classroom full of high school students.

Twenty smiling teenagers share stories, gobble pizza and chatter happily while

making Halloween decorations in a Belmont secondary classroom. The students look like any others, but participate in modified programs for those with designations including learning disabilities, autism, chronic health issues and physical disabilities. Despite this, Goupil says the potential in the room and the rewards of working with them are great.

“At first people might be hesitant, but after they meet them and work with them, they love them (and) get just as much out of it as the kids do,” she says. “They are

wonderful young ladies and men and they’re very positive and have a lot of potential.”

Co-founder Goupil manages the Individually Modified Programs to Acquire Choices for Transitions (IMPACT) program.

It was built around needs identified by families with children with barriers, she says, and empowers students to ask for help, plus gain independence and social skills in the classroom.

Metchosin votes:

Mayoral candidates agree on some things

Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

John Ranns is running for his seventh non-consecutive term as Mayor of Metchosin this November, but the longtime civil servant isn’t going to be able to just walk back into office if challenger Ed Cooper has anything to say about it.

“The only reason I’m running against Ranns is to make sure he’s not acclaimed,” says Cooper, an 84-year-old Korean War veteran. “I think every candidate should stand up there in front of the taxpayer, and that doesn’t happen in acclamation.”

As for his own campaign platform, Cooper, who’s lived in Metchosin for more than 50 years, is passionately committed to making sure the community stays “rural.”

Ranns is of the same mind. “The whole reason for me running is to try and perpetuate our rural lifestyle,” including the feasibility of living in the country, he adds.

“Affordable preservation of lifestyle.

That’s a big element of it. If you can’t afford to be rural, then you can’t be.”

Metchosin has the lowest residential taxes for assessed value of all 13 munici-

palities, continues Ranns, and “we’ve also got by far the lowest administrative costs as well.”

Cooper isn’t convinced that Metchosin’s budget is as trim and efficient. He cites the upgrading of Kangaroo Road as an example.

“It came in at $400,000 over budget and I got those numbers off the municipal hall,” he says. “I want the budget to be kept under control. I think everybody should get a good

wage, but when you’re spending someone else’s money – the taxpayers’ – you have to get the best deal.”

On this, both Cooper and Ranns seem to agree. Metchosin contracts out all its professional services, such as planning, says Ranns, a practice that has saved the district a substantial amount of money and allowed funds to be directed back into the municipality.

“We’ve got an up-to-date infrastructure,” says Ranns. “We’re debt free, and we have reserve funds in place to cover any eventuality.”

For Cooper, if he’s elected, he’ll be committed to preserving the community and supporting its residents. “I want it to stay rural. I want the roads to stay rural,” he says. “And farming in Metchosin is really important. Farmers are starving here, so we should be able to come up with a plan to help them, rather than just farming taxes.”

Ranns has “two major issues” he plans to see through if he’s elected once again to office.

“One is the treaty negotiations and how that impacts our community, and the other is amalgamation. (It) isn’t going away. If Metchosin were to be amalgamated into an urban municipality, we’d be finished.”

The incumbent hopes Metchosin residents “appreciate the direction we’ve taken the community since 2005,” and says he’ll work to “maintain its rural direction no matter what the circumstances.”

As for Cooper, who still runs a saw mill and spends most of his days working a chainsaw, he plans to keep Ranns on his toes, especially at the all-candidates meetings.

“It was all about getting Ranns up front for people to ask him questions.” acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Dreams of a Langford tech park advancing slowly Mayor Young hopes creating a specific zone for tech industry will produce results Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Langford’s hope of attracting a tech park to a stretch of property on Leigh Road is not dead yet.

A row of boarded up City of Langford-owned houses along the east side of the former residential block have sat untouched for long enough that motorists and other residents using the Leigh Road interchange have begun ignoring the empty buildings.

But with plans in place to move three of the remaining five structures off the site, the city’s ulti-

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Five of the homes purchased by the City of Langford along Leigh Road near the Highway 1 connector remain on the property. The city has a long-term vision of facilitating a tech park or ancillary buildings for that industry on the land, Mayor Stew Young says. mate goal appears a little closer.

Mayor Stew Young said the plan since the city bought out homeowners in the 2700-block of Leigh

Rd. – and subsequently offered up their homes for free last spring in return for moving them off the property – has been to save as

many of the buildings as possible from demolition. That’s despite an initial recommendation to knock them down.

“We still think the houses are in good shape. The structure is good,” he said. “It’s good that council gave everybody time (to come up with a plan to move them) to try not to demolish them.”

Within the next couple of months, Young said, the city will be investigating business and development opportunities that could piggyback onto a tech use.

He expects that developers will come forward with ideas for the property and designs that will jive with the city’s goal for the land, which he sees as one of the main entranceways to Langford.

With council having identified the area as suitable for techrelated businesses – the fibre optic lines are already in place – the possibilities are there to cre-

ate a new employment sector in the city, Young said.

“If you brand it as a tech park, then people know Langford is friendly to tech firms,” he said, adding the property is pretty much the last place to locate a tech centre in the city.

Young hopes that attracting the tech industry, and the high-paying jobs that come with it, would not only create more Langford-based employment, but also convince the provincial government to locate more offices on the West Shore.

“All I ask is give me one building and we’ll make it happen,” said the mayor, anxious to prove that doing so would help alleviate the mass morning exodus from Langford and the afternoon commute from downtown. “We need to put government offices where the people are.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

stop by your branch and ask your trusted island savings advisor why this partnership is good for our members, our communities, our employees and our islands.

I am looking forward to joining First West Credit Union. Leaders at both Island Savings and First West have been open and forthcoming in their communication with all employees, truly involving us in this partnership process.

Over the past year we’ve had the opportunity to ask questions and talk through the reality of merging with employees at Envision Financial and Valley First, First West’s two founding credit unions. They have been working incredibly well as one credit union for almost five years now—proof that this model works—and everyone I’ve spoken to is thrilled with how this partnership has worked for them.

As an eight year employee, I am proud to work for Island Savings and happy that we will keep our identity and local decision-making in a model that sustains our business into the future without any disruption to staff or members.

and families

Colwood family plunged into chaos with diagnosis This is part 2 of 3 in a series in which the Goldstream News Gazette looks at the effect childhood cancer has on a family, from the devastating diagnosis to the financial and emotional hardships that follow. We also take a look at where families can get help, and the special relationships that form between health-care professionals and families.

T

hree years ago, Noreen Bekropoulos’s family was plunged into the chaos of cancer treatment when her 13-year-old son, the youngest of five siblings, was diagnosed with Hodgkins lymphoma.

Bekropoulos, a longtime Colwood resident who had dealt with her own diagnosis of breast cancer just six years previously, was “in total shock” and then thought, “Here we go again.”

Her son had been dealing with a persistent cough that didn’t respond to medication or puffers, and finally the doctor decided to order an X-ray, she remembers.

“She said they rarely do X-rays on kids. And then they Angela Cowan found a mass.”

Reporting All classification and staging of pediatric cancers is done at the B.C. Children’s Hospital, so Bekropoulos and her son were on a helicopter to the mainland within minutes of the diagnosis, with a nearly dead cell phone and not even a debit card in her purse. She remembers a social worker from the hospital giving her food vouchers and coupons for gas just before they took off.

“That was the only thing I had going to Vancouver.”

This frantic whirlwind of activity is all too common, with families being uprooted and everything put on hold while a treatment plan is sorted out.

“I was in total shock,” she adds. “Parents who are going through it, you’re just like a horse with blinders on. You’re just breathing.”

Families can be fractured by a diagnosis of childhood cancer, by the incredible financial strain and by the destruction of any sense of normalcy in their day to day lives.

Emotional support is vital for the whole family, says Bekropoulos, and connecting with other parents can be a lifeline.

“Unless you’ve been in that situation, you

have no idea what it’s like.

You do get what you need (from the doctors and nurses), but you don’t get that outreach of emotional support,” she says.

That’s where the Vancouver Island Family Support Program comes in. An offshoot of the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association, the Family Support Program brings parents together in support groups, funds outings for the whole family to get away from the hospital environment, and also supplies the food vouchers and emergency funds that help get families through those first few devastating days.

The coupons and vouchers that were pressed into Bekropoulos’s hands as she boarded the helicopter came from the Family Support Program, though she knew barely anything about the organization at the time.

Her whole family, including the son in active treatment – now 17, he asked that his name not be used for this story, nor any photos – were also able to participate in a WildPlay romp. It’s one of many sponsored outdoor adventures that help kids just be kids for an afternoon and leave behind the hospital for a few hours.

“When you go through cancer, it’s your whole family,” says Bekropoulos. “Getting out and connecting with people who have gone through it, meeting other parents, it breaks the isolation. It’s a group that understands your needs and what you’re going through.”

She urges any family going through childhood cancer to contact the organization immediately.

“Realize there is help while you’re going through it, and you’re not the only one in this isolation,” she says. “Don’t wait to reach out.”

Coming up ■ in the Nov. 5 issue of the Gazette: Anne Carrelli is a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital. She’s part of a team of nurses, doctors and social workers who treat children with cancer. “You can’t help but get invested in every family, because kids are kids – and they just want to get better,” Carrelli says.

Domestic call leads to Langford man’s arrest A report of domestic assault on Bear Mountain last week led to the deployment of the Emergency Response Team and potential charges against a Langford man.

West Shore RCMP officers arrived at a home in the 2200Block of Players Dr. in Langford at 9:30 p.m. on Oct. 21. They discovered a female resident was safe, but the alleged male sus-

pect was still on the scene.

Initial reports indicated a weapon may have been involved, so out of concern for the public and the suspect himself, police set up a containment area around the residence and deployed the Emergency Response Team. Members entered a basement suite in the home, evacuating tenants there before entering the upper level

at approximately 4 a.m., only to find it empty.

Further investigation revealed the suspect had gone to a local hotel. Police obtained a search warrant for his room and entered at 8 a.m., arresting him without incident. Police recommended charges against a 47-year-old Langford man related to assault and threats. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

The treetop adventures at WildPlay in the West Shore are just one of the many outings that the B.C.

The events give kids and their families the chance to escape the hospital and just have fun for an afternoon.

OUR VIEW

Voting in groups harms democracy There can be a tendency when things are going particularly well in a jurisdiction, such as municipalities or school boards, to lean toward a kind of groupthink mentality.

Much like a successful sports team that fires on all cylinders and works well together to achieve positive results, elected bodies and their supporters can get so taken with the collective success that they promote keeping the group intact for another term. Doing so, the public is led to believe, ensures a continued bright future for their jurisdiction.

A group of candidates for Greater Victoria School District 61, serving View Royal, have banded together to collectively campaign this time around. The Greater Victoria Chamber of Commerce has backed a slate of municipal candidates running for election in the City of Victoria.

The problem with such scenarios is that focusing on groups of incumbents to the detriment of outside candidates essentially shuts the door to new ideas. It promotes an old boy’s/girl’s network in which the status quo is held up as the best road into the future.

While there are varying degrees to such thinking, candidates who seek the protection of the group rather than running on their own merits are not showing the kind of leadership we expect and deserve from the people we elect to public office.

Research into voting patterns has shown that the busy electorate, “burdened” with having to do their own research, tend to tick off the names they know if they haven’t investigated candidates. Name recognition is not a good enough reason to cast your ballot for a candidate.

In keeping with the sports analogy, even championship teams retool every year as a way to ensure they stay fresh and continue to improve.

We encourage West Shore voters to spend that extra bit of time checking out individual candidates and their qualifications/record. We guarantee you’ll feel better about your choices, no matter the results.

This new LNG income tax is nowhere near the biggest source.

It’s bigger than the carbon tax that LNG producers will pay on fuel use, but only a fourth of what B.C. collects in royalties for selling the gas.

The biggest source of revenue from this hoped-for plant is “other taxes,” which include sales tax and corporate income tax, which B.C. increased to 11 per cent last year.

University of Calgary economist Jack Mintz, who supported B.C. on its ill-fated harmonized sales tax, says this additional LNG tax is wrong-headed at any rate.

“If other provinces take the same view with respect to resource taxation, new levies would be applied to oil refining, forest product manufacturing, mining processing and a host of other activities linked to resource industries,” Mintz wrote last week in the Financial Post.

If B.C. does get a substantial LNG export industry, it will include gas from Alberta, with royalties going there, not here. And companies are also wrangling with the federal government over its taxes, with local governments and First Nations still in line for their cut.

The big question isn’t whether B.C. will get its fair share. It’s whether there will be anything to share.

LETTERS Traffic concerns not ignored Re: Goldstream Avenue still ignored (Letters, Oct. 24) Are Goldstream Avenue and traffic concerns in Langford really being ignored? If so, why would Mayor Young and council have bothered to construct the Leigh Road interchange at all?

If traffic concerns are being ignored, would we have a beautiful downtown core which encourages pedestrian traffic? Would we have the beautiful tree-lined avenue that is Veterans’ Parkway? (I had heard that the province had no plans for trees along Veterans’ Parkway until Mayor Young stepped in!)

I think the only things being ignored by this letter writer and your newspaper is that a small clique of residents living at the western end of Goldstream Avenue - some of whom are seeking political office - are trying to smear their political rivals by suggesting that a speed zone on Walfred Road was somehow improperly established. I find this sort of political tactic to be beneath contempt.

I drive Walfred Road and Goldstream Avenue on a regular basis, and I can tell you that the 30km speed limit leading up to Jacklin Road is entirely appropriate given the configuration of the road.

Also, I can’t imagine that it is possible to establish such a speed zone unless it is duly considered by staff, committee and council.

As I see it, Goldstream Avenue is the current exit from the TransCanada highway to the west end of Langford, and it will obviously be closed when the southwest ramp at the Leigh Road Interchange is completed.

For what it’s worth,

I say let Stew and the Crew continue to do all that they do, and without further ado.

ProAm info pales to CRD waste Re: Colwood should include question from Amalgamation group on Nov. 15 ballot (Letters, Oct. 22) While I am of the belief that issues need not be reacted to when there is an apparent total vacuum of interest in the subject, I believe voters should be able to help make civic decisions. However, when I searched the web for disgruntled residents of Colwood complaining about this supposed failing of the current council and mayor, I came up with an unremarkable zero, other than the recent letter to the editor.

All of the hype in the ProAm brochure that was delivered to my home this week about the cost of the 13 municipalities versus the cost of a single larger population centre, pales in comparison to the total waste of taxpayers’ funds, gross mismanagement and many failings of the Capital Regional District. It is a disgrace and an embarrassment what we taxpayers are funding.

The apparent ineptitude, avoidance of logical planning and total lack of engagement with the public makes the CRD look like a serious haphazard joke, but not at all a funny one. Look at the sewage debacle, look at the kitchen scraps silliness, look at the water rate increases. It would be ludicrous to say amalgamation would be good, when the current CRD amalgamation is such a mockery.

and so much more!

Exactly what do Oak Bay, Metchosin and the Highlands have in common with Langford?

Basically zero.

So, the writer is right in saying questions should be asked, but first determine what the specific question is for each municipality.

I believe the amalgamation question should be; “Do you want to be associated with some municipality that has absolutely nothing in common with you, or do you want to do the intelligent thing?”

TV and Vision

Eye care experts generally agree: watching television will not harm your eyes or vision if the TV room is lit properly and if you follow a few viewing tips. In fact, there is usually less strain involved in TV viewing than in doing close work such as sewing or reading. Watching TV for long stretches of time can leave your eyes fatigued and now that the monsoons have arrived, most of us are spending more time inside. Here are a few hints to help make TV viewing more comfortable.

TV viewing tips: - Make sure your television set is properly installed and the antenna properly adjusted.

- Place the set to avoid glare reflections from lamps, windows and other bright sources.

- Adjust brightness and contrast controls to individual and/or viewer’s taste and comfort.

- Have the set at approximately eye level. Avoid having to look up or down at the picture.

- Avoid staring at the screen for lengthy periods Briefly look away from the picture, around the room or out the window.

- Wear lenses prescribed for vision correction, if advised to do so by your eye care practitioner.

- View from a distance of at least five times the width of the television screen.

Some viewers, especially those over 50 years old, may find relief with special glasses for television viewing. Consult with your Optometrist if you find general vision discomfort or eye strain while watching TV.

Grizzlies struggling to find finishing touch Getting 60-minute effort from BCHL team proving tough, coach says Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Playing with a lead is something the Victoria Grizzlies are having a tough time working with, especially late in the game.

The B.C. Hockey League squad dropped a 6-5 decision to West Kelowna on home ice Sunday after leading by two goals three separate times.

The Grizzlies escaped with a 5-4 victory at The Q Centre over the Surrey Eagles the night before, having jumped out to a 4-0 lead after one period. They weren’t so lucky last Wednesday against Nanaimo, as the visiting Clippers overcame a 4-3 deficit with 7:40 to go in the third to beat Victoria 5-4.

“It’s kind of been how we’ve played most of the year,” a clearly frustrated Grizzlies assistant coach Micah Aivazoff said after Sunday’s loss. “We play a good period, a good two periods and then we fall back into some of our old traps that we’re trying to work out of.”

The Grizzlies held period leads of 3-1 and 5-4 against West Kelowna, but failed to put the cap on the game.

Michael Buonincontri tallied his third of the game for the Warriors on an early third period power play to tie it, then Andrew Johnson notched the winner, his second goal of the game, 6:57 into the period.

Victoria fired just five shots at West Kelowna goalie Scott Patton in the final frame, a couple of which

came in the dying minutes as they played desperate hockey.

“We’ve got a group here that’s new and we’re trying to get them to understand that winning is hard and you have to compete for 60 minutes,” said Aivazoff, who was guiding the team with head Brad Knight serving the last of a three-game suspension.

“We do it at times and then we revert back to some old bad habits and it costs us. It cost us tonight.”

Penalties cost the Grizzlies big time, as the Warriors scored three times on five power play opportunities. The locals did, however, score on two of their own three man advantage chances.

Cole Pickup led the Grizzlies attack with two goals and an assist, while singles went to Cody Van Lierop, Brett Gruber and Matthew Kennedy.

Jay Mackie added a pair of assists.

Starting goaltender Sean Cleary was pulled for backup Michael Stiliadis when Buonincontri scored to pull his team to within one at 4-3, 9:58 into the second period.

The loss left the Grizzlies (6-6-0-2) with a 1-2 record for the home stand and marked their 11th straight onegoal decision, during which they’ve gone 4-5-0-2.

“We obviously want to play a better brand of hockey at home,” Aivazoff said. “If we score five goals at home we should win the hockey game. It’s pretty obvious that defensively we’ve got some work to do and as a group, they’ve got to learn that it’s hard to win and you’ve got sacrifice to win.”

The Grizzlies are in Port Alberni this Saturday then host Penticton and Powell River Nov. 7 and 8 at The Centre. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Westshore Wolves forward Jordan Martin (in white) tips an incoming puck into the top right corner past Comox Valley Glacier Kings goalie Riley Mathieson, while defenceman Keagun Selva looks on. The Wolves won this game 7-1 at The Q Centre.

Wolves lose latest battle of the south They Westshore Wolves began last week on a high note, beating Comox Valley 7-1 at The Q Centre.

The momentum was tough to keep up against the powerful Victoria Cougars two nights later at Archie Browning Sports Centre, as the Wolves were dropped 8-3 by the defending Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League champs.

The Thursday night contest in Esquimalt saw the Cougars break open a tight game with five goals in the third period.

Victoria had razor-like efficiency on the power play, scoring on six of eight opportunities.

Wade Johnson notched the hat trick for the Cougars (12-2-1-0) while Sam McMullen tallied five points.

The Wolves’ Riley Welyk was in net for all eight goals.

Clay Carslon and Drayson Pears

scored 24 seconds apart early in the second period to give the Wolves (12-5-1-0) a 2-1 lead, but it was all Cougars after that.

Robert Zadra, and Johnson, with his first of the night, tallied before the period’s end to restore the lead. The Cougars popped three power play goals in the first 6:27 of the third to put the game almost out of reach.

Quentin McShane had the other Westshore goal.

At home on Oct. 21, the Wolves held period leads of 1-0 and 3-0 en route to the win over the Glacier Kings. Brett Lervold led the attack with a goal and two assists, while singles were scored by Connor Krupa, Cory Hatcher, Jordan Martin, Jordan Law, Nick Guiney and Kyle Richter.

Grizzlies boosters seek new members to build club support Fans often double as the volunteers who work on game day events, activities Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Any volunteer organization is only as good as the people who do the work.

The Victoria Grizzlies Booster Club Society, which does fundraising for things that fall outside the operational side of the hockey club, is no different. While the goal is to provide fun, fan-friendly activities and opportunities for the folks who attend the hockey games such as tailgate parties and shoot the puck contests, club members also undertake initiatives to help out the young players who provide the onice entertainment and are developing their skills.

Noelle Arneson, the new president of the society, said the booster club is recruiting new members to allow the club to expand what it does and the impact it has on the team, the fans and the community.

The society is technically outside the realm of the hockey team, Arneson points out. Nonetheless, some of its members are there at the games night-in, night-out, helping with everything from souvenir sales to running the ‘will call’ ticket table, to making sure the outside groups that sell 50/50 tickets have what they need. Then there’s the fan bus program that transports Grizzlies supporters up Island to road games.

“We also do things like put together movie nights for the players and we recently bought them all workout shorts,” she says.

A major part of the fundraising is to build scholarship funds for the players, she adds.

While people who join the booster club are not required to work at game-day activities, volunteering to do so is a way to see the games for free and help build the team’s fan base, Arneson notes.

“And boosting the fan base can help build the membership base,” she adds.

Arneson says it’s ideal for retired or semi-retired people looking to volunteer some time or join a new group.

For more information about the booster club society, send an email to boosterclub@victoria grizzlies.com. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Best of the West Shore awards handed out Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

A celebration of the best in the community and local business was held Saturday at Olympic View Golf Club.

The Westshore Chamber of Commerce’s Best of the West Shore awards saw businesses and community places honoured by the public, through the chamber’s online and paper balloting campaign.

“I believe this was a phenomenal success,” said chamber president Doug Kobayashi. “We’re just going to continue to expand the awards and make this an even better event.”

The awards gala and dinner sold out for the first time, he noted, a sign that the level of support is growing.

The big winners on the night were Saunders Subaru, which won for business of the year as the “best business citizen in the West Shore,” and Origin Bakery in Colwood, for “best new business opened within the past two years.”

“We’ve made the awards a lot more diverse (in terms of categories), and we let the public choose, which was different this year,” Kobayashi said.

Reminding people to shop local is behind the Best of the West Shore Awards, he added.

“That’s one of the biggest drives right now. These are the very businesses who are supporting teams, the volunteers on committees, the people like me who are serving on chambers.”

Other award winners of the night: Community service -Goldstream Food Bank Environmental stewardship -- Royal Roads University Taste of Excellence (best new food service) -- Brown’s Social House Healthy as a Horse (best veterinary care) -- Juan de Fuca Veterinary Clinic

I’m Sexy and I know It (best esthetics/hair service) -- Santé Spa Fittest Business (best gym/fitness studio) -- Bikram Yoga West Shore Work Hard, Play Hard (best recreation provider) -- WildPlay Element Park Bring Home the Bacon (best independent grocery store) -- Quality Foods Shop Till You Drop (best new retail goods business) -- Capital Iron West Shore Show Me the Money (best bank or credit union) -- Coast Capital Savings The Old and the New (best attraction historical site) -- Fort Rodd Hill and Fisgard Lighthouse If You Build It (best

recent or ongoing development project) -- Westhills In the best community places categories, Thetis Lake was the most popular recreational spot, earning the nod for favourite place to hike, to take a summer swim and to walk your dog.

Favourite fishing spot was Langford Lake, favourite beach was Esquimalt Lagoon, top bicycle trail was the Galloping Goose, best viewpoint was Mount Finlayson and favourite local sports team was the Victoria Grizzlies.

Greater Victoria Senior

Agency seeks better conditions for B.C. seniors Travis Paterson News staff

Submitted

Isobel Mackenzie is leading the newly initiated Office of the Seniors Advocate.

Life in B.C. should get better for seniors, at least that’s the plan.

Last week the province introduced Isobel Mackenzie as the official figurehead for the newly commissioned Office of the Seniors Advocate.

The agency is up and running, and has put out a call for public input into seniors’ issues in the province.

Mackenzie addressed the media and public in Vancouver on Oct. 22, saying she’ll use the powers granted to her under the Seniors Advocate Act to demand public reporting on the quality and accessibility of key services to B.C. seniors.

“One of the first things my office will do is commission independent, province-wide client satisfaction surveys for all publicallyfunded residential care facilities, home support clients and HandyDART users,” she said.

Dignity was a focus of her speech, as she highlighted a need to improve conditions for vulnerable seniors, pointed to inconsistent supports and services for seniors in B.C., and that the pub-

lic deserves to know if the needs of the most frail and elderly are being met.

“This is a significant undertaking that has not been done on this scale elsewhere in Canada, but I believe it is necessary to assure B.C. seniors and their families that their voice is being heard.”

In addition to the announcement, Mackenzie released her first report, The Journey Begins: Together We Can Do Better.

Speak your mind ■ To contact the office visit the website at seniorsadvocatebc.ca, email info@seniorsadvocatebc.ca, or call 250-952-3181.

■ To contact by mail: 1st Floor, 1515 Blanshard Street, PO Box 9651 STN PROV GOVT, Victoria, B.C., V8W 9P4.

The report reflects her initial findings after meeting and talking with thousands of seniors, their family members, service providers and other stakeholders from B.C. over the past six months.

It also highlights seniors’ concerns about housing, transporta-

tion, income supports, residential care, home support and a pervasive culture of ageism that thwarts the independence of seniors and erodes their sense of dignity.

Mackenzie’s first major review will respond to the issue of housing, which was the most significant issue she heard from seniors in over 26 communities throughout B.C. “As expected, almost all seniors want to remain in their own home for as long as they can. However, seniors feel anxious that increasing costs and decreasing services are major impediments to their ability to live independently.”

I heard many stories of challenges with accessing transportation, with the cost of rental housing or home repairs, with the availability of suitable housing in more rural and remote communities, and with infrequent or nonexistent support services,” Mackenzie said.

“Clearly, there are a number of areas where seniors and their families are struggling, and the inconsistency in supports and services depending where you live in the province,” she added. reporter@saanichnews.com

Finding time for the kids of Child Haven Travis Paterson News staff

Victoria’s Maggie MacLaren has found a second calling as a dedicated volunteer for Child Haven since 2006.

“Every kid in Child Haven has a story and most of them you don’t want to hear,” Maclaren says.

Child Haven is a charitable organization that houses and educates children in need in India, Nepal, Tibet and Bangladesh. Maclaren spends most of her annual visit to the largest complex, a 286-kid outfit in Kaliyampoondi, India.

“My first time there it struck me how happy these kids are. There’s no whining. Their sense of gratitude is overwhelming. I think they know where they’d be if they weren’t at Child Haven.”

During her visits MacLaren does whatever needs to be done, which is mostly teaching English, but is anything, from mentoring to cutting veg-

atables and cleaning up. When she arrives, her suitcases are brimful with arts, games and school supplies for the children.

“There’s no structure for volunteers, you find your niche, but there’s always work to be done.

“It’s changed my life.”

McLaren moved to the Oaklands neighbourhood earlier this year from Parksville, where she left behind a garden she’d spent years building up. Orignally from Toronto, MacLaren spent time in the U.S.A. as a television stage manager before shifting into the hotel business and garden photography for the long running Sunset Magazine.

She’ll be speaking at Child Haven’s annual dinner, Sunday, Nov. 24, at the First Unitarian Church, 5575 West Saanich Rd. Tickets are available through Tanner’s Books, Munro’s Books, or through childhaven.ca/fundraiser_ victoria_fall.html. reporter@saanichnews.com

Community Spotlight: SENIORS

Ask the Expert Seniors’ Edition Q: What are some of the main matters I should be addressing when investigating Retirement Communities?

A: 1. Are you planning for today or tomorrow? Many of us

may be concerned primarily about our immediate needs; however, shopping for a retirement community should also include consideration to age in place. Prospective residents should ask: If I can no longer drive, will I be able to get to appointments? What emergency response set-ups do you have? Is there a community bus or car service? Can meals be sent to my suite if I feel unwell?

2. Is my family welcome to visit anytime? Many seniors are closely connected to their extended family and wish them to have open access to their new “home”. While some retirement communities welcome family visits and provide guest suites and guest meals, others may have restrictions in place. Check the practice and costs around guest meal reservations and overnight stays and activities before you make a decision.

3. Is the bottom line the bottom line? Retirement is all about living on a fixed income. While your monthly rent may be consistent, will there be extra charges for telephone, internet or parking. How are you billed for hair salon, alcoholic beverages, guest meals or special activities?

What costs are associated with the guest suite and guest meals? Knowing your exact monthly costs is an important part of managing your finances.

Sorry, 75 is not the end I

f Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has his way I’ll be hauled off to the abattoir for aging wordsmiths in less than five years.

Death at 75, the privileged professor says, is the way to go in a society where quality of life ends abruptly for most seniors one decade after they receive their first Old Age Security cheque.

Dr. Emanuel heads the Department of Medical Ethics at the University of PennBrian sylvania. Clearly, he has yet to experience a moment precious enough to endow him with an unquenchable thirst for life at any cost.

“Seventy-five. That’s how long I want to live,” he declares.

His very public argument that seniors over 75 are a waste of space has anxious elders passing wind across North America.

The good doctor says: “Here is a simple truth that many of us seem to resist: living too long … renders many of us, if not disabled, then faltering and declining, a state that may not be worse than death but is nonetheless deprived.”

By the way, Dr. Emanuel is disgustingly fit at 57 with zero chronic health issues and has recently climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.

Dr. Emanuel has old folks like me in his sights. At 70, my chi-

ropractor gets a nice chunk of my pension. I love to languish in my armchair with a good book. Walking the dogs constitutes vigorous exercise. I intend to be a drain on the health care system as long as I have breath.

I’m known as a North American “immortal.”

Apparently, I am aware of my hastening decline and choose restricted activities and projects. I aspire Kieran to do less and less. In the doctor’s words my “canvas is now tiny.”

Once vital community leaders, the 75-plus set is “happy to cultivate avocational interests, to take up bird watching, bicycle riding, pottery, and the like,” Dr. Emanuel scoffs. “And then, as walking becomes harder and the pain of arthritis limits the fingers’ mobility, life comes to center around sitting in the den reading or listening to books on tape.”

And, I say: So? Dr. Emanuel promises not to try and prolong his life after 75 … no treatment if there is a cancer, no bypass surgery, no flu shots, no antibiotics. This I applaud.

“I think this manic desperation to endlessly extend life is misguided and potentially

At 70, I’m known as a North American “immortal.”

Apparently, I am aware of my hastening decline and choose restricted activities and projects. I aspire to do less and less. In the doctor’s words my “canvas is now tiny.” destructive,” he declares.

In Emanuel’s universe most of us have made our best contribution to society at 40 and our last meaningful contribution at 60. “The fact is that by 75, creativity, originality, and productivity are pretty much gone for the vast, vast majority of us.”

Wheelchair bound physicist Stephen Hawking, 72, enduring the rages of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), might beg to differ with the help of his voice synthesizer.

With the help of public health care and great pharmaceuticals I may still be alive in 2032 and get a wheezing chuckle when Dr. Emanuel turns 75 and is begging for pain relief drugs and praying for medical miracles to prolong his tenure. reporter@saanichnews.com

Please support the 2014 Poppy Campaign REMEMBRANCE DAY – NOVEMBER 11TH

The Poppy Our Silent Reminder -– The Reminder of Sacrifice On November 11th, Canadians all across the country will stop to remember the men and women killed in wars. That is why November 11th is called Remembrance Day. But what about those who can’t remember Canada’s wars? Let’s take a look at the theme: “If you can’t remember.. think....What does this really mean?

In the first place, there are more Canadians today than at any time in this century who cannot remember war. Imperfect though the peace has been, it is much better than war. So when we THINK about the poppy, we might be reminded that Canadians died liberating Europe created a World a little better than the one they knew.

We might also THINK of where Canadians first found poppies. In the First World War, the soldiers noticed

Poppy Campaign DONATIONS

are placed in public trust funds. Campaign money received during the last four years exceeded $310,000. Some of the many ways these funds were used to improve life for people living in the Western Communities include:

VETERANS FACILITIES & BENEFITS $ 154,660 EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE $ 21,000 TRANSPORT OF VETERANS $ 2,225 WELCOME HOME VETERANS $ 1063 MOBILITY EQUIPMENT $ 8,885 BURSARIES, University/College $ 20,000 POSTER & LITERARY CONTESTS, Elementary Schools $ 8,400 CADET UNITS $ 15,700 FOOD VOUCHERS & SICK and VISITING $ 700

What Does The Poppy Fund Do? 1. It cares for the emergency welfare of Western Communities Ex-Service personnel, widows and their dependents, in situations caused by unforeseen circumstances.

THEY RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FOR FOOD, RENT, CLOTHING, MEDICAL AND DENTAL, HYDRO, HEATING OIL AND TRANSPORTATION. 2. It can assist with the construction, maintenance, repair and furnishing of Social Housing, including Long Term Care facilities for elderly and disabled persons.

3. It can allot funds for community medical appliances and research.

4. It provides a remembrance opportunity, through your donation, to say: “ YES, I CARE TOO”

that the red poppies often grew over the graves of their friends. They remembered this later when peace came. Another thing to THINK about is that by the time thousands of young Canadians went to war, Europe was in slavery. They died liberating millions of people. They also died so that we here today could continue to enjoy the freedom which we have. They died so that your home would be safe; so that you would be given the chance to attend schools and churches of your choice. They also died for your right to make friendships with whomever or wherever you pleased. You might THINK about this for a moment: their desire that you live in peace and freedom was more important to them than life itself.

But the poppy is not all in the past.

It has a lot to do with you and the future.

The poppy asks you to THINK of how you can work for peace and a better country. It invites you to THINK about your freedom. Therefore the poppy finally asks you to THINK about your responsibility, be it in your classroom, your home, your community or your profession. The poppy urges you to use peace to help mankind: to promote a more lasting peace, understanding above all the dignity of man everywhere.

The Canadians who died believed in a better future.

It is up to YOU to work for this future. If you do, you will have remembered.... Every year at this time, we as a nation pause to honour the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served Canada, those who have returned home from service and, sadly, those who did not. Wear a Poppy and let’s all help to educate and pass on this tradition of remembrance to our future generations.

Remember, November 11th at the Langford Cenotaph, bring your children, and take a moment to reflect on what it means and the sacrifice it honours.

Making a difference within our communities is another way we are able to stand up and be counted. Special Use Expenditures gives the Legion the opportunity to reach out and make the community that We live in a better place. It is who we are. It is what we do. It is why Legionnaires and their Branches are often the centre of so many communities within our Command.

We are always getting requests for financial assistance. The only way we can achieve the goals we set forth every year is to get as much help from OUR COMMUNITY and of course OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP. So when a Legionnaire arrives at your business door, or you see them offering poppies at various West Shore locations, PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. This year the Poppy Campaign will start on Friday October 31 and end on November 10th.

As every year we desperately need your help manning various locations. We ask for two-hour shifts. The more volunteers we have the less for multiple shifts. Most of our volunteers are the same people who help every year.

We would like to see more new faces helping this year.

This year we need volunteers more than ever. As always the cadets will be there to help us, but WE NEED YOU TO HELP US HELP OTHERS. And, for OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP, We need your help. Langford Branch No.91 and the Poppy Campaign Committee would like to ask YOU to step forward and VOLUNTEER for this year’s campaign. We cannot support our Veterans and their dependants, as well as the many community groups, without a successful POPPY DRIVE. If you want to VOLUNTEER, leave your name and phone number at the Branch Office at 250-478-1828. PLEASE VOLUNTEER.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

THE West Shore Poppy Fund, in an effort to continue their cost-savings on mail and production costs, will not be mailing out the DONATION FORMS during this year’s 2014 POPPY CAMPAIGN.
