TRANQUIL SLEEP Natural Factors Tranquil Sleep combines L-Theanine with 5-HTP and melatonin in a fast acting and very safe sleep formula that can help you fall asleep more quickly, stay asleep, sleep more soundly, and wake up feeling refreshed.

MENTAL CALMNESS Natural Factors Mental Calmness contains L-Theanine, an amino acid that exerts a profoundly relaxing, yet non-drowsy action, with noticeable effects within 30 to 40 minutes.

L-Theanine calms the nerves and even helps with learning and concentration. Best of all, it is very safe and can be taken long-term by everyone.

Terry Trace celebrated her newly won seat on Colwood council Saturday night with friends and supporters at the Country Rose pub, but there was one face missing from the party.

Her mother, who had lived in Colwood for 52 years, passed away in January.

“This one’s for you, mom,” said Trace, smiling amidst the jubilant crowd.

Trace was one of three non-incumbents to be voted in – the others were 22-year-old university student Lilja Chong and former councillor Jason Nault – and she brings with her a wealth of experience from the administrative front lines of municipal government.

From her start as a city hall receptionist in 1986, she moved into the engineering and planning departments as secretary, and eventually moved up the ladder to become administrative assistant for the City of Colwood.

“I went to all the meetings, did up the agendas.”

Trailer demolishes Langford fountain Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

A transport truck’s trailer sits high and not so dry on top of the Langford fountain roundabout after the driver miscalculated going around the tight turn late Sunday night. The mishap took out a number of planters, but the rockwork around the fountain remained intact, for the most part. The fountain was shut off Monday morning as crews got ready to repair it.

Trace’s past experience expected to come in handy Continued from Page A1

“ I used to prepare bylaws and policies, and the reports to council. I was personnel manager, I dealt with the lawyers and all the legal policies,” she said.

“I’ve got so much experience to offer. I used to train councillors,” she laughed.

Retired now for 10 years, Trace said she’s looking forward to getting back in the game from a different perspective. Born and raised in Colwood, she said, “(The city is) very close to my heart. I’m excited and I’m going to take it very seriously.”

She talked about contributing further to the beautification of Colwood during the four-year term and expressed enthusiasm for the city’s direction in sustainable development.

The mix of incumbents and newcomers should provide a healthy mix of experience and opinions, she said.

“We just have to make it work. You have to work as a team on council. If you come in trying to be an independent councillor, it just doesn’t work. And Carol (Hamilton’s) got the ability to get people to work as a team. I have a lot of respect for her,” Trace said.

“The last council has done a great job. I’d like to see it continue.” acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

The City of Langford has an engineering headache on its hands, after the driver of a semi-truck saw her trailer roll directly through the middle of the Goldstream Avenue fountain late Sunday night.

The 50-plus-foot semi-trailer ran aground on the fountain at 11:41 p.m. Sunday, after the driver miscalculated her ability to do a complete cycle of the roundabout.

“The driver was not from the area and got lost essentially,” said West Shore RCMP Const. Olen Bernardo.

The driver, who was not injured, was issued a ticket for driving without consideration. Witnesses indicated the vehicle had been heading west on Goldstream and was attempting to circumnavigate the roundabout.

Langford director of engineering Michelle Mahovlich said Monday the fountain’s mechanical operation appeared to be badly damaged. “We’re going to salvage as much as we can … but a lot of the equipment was special order,” she said.

City staff began dismantling the fountain this week. Mahovlich said the replacement cost will be “thousands of dollars” and will be paid for through an insurance claim with ICBC. “It’s very disappointing, very devastating, especially knowing how much it took to build it in the first place.”

She doubted the fountain, a colourful centrepiece in Goldstream Village during the holiday season, would be repaired

by Christmas. The backup plan is to place a large Christmas tree in the centre of the roundabout, Mahovlich said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

ELECTION WRAP 2014:

Hamilton wins Colwood in a landslide New faces guided by second-term mayor Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

The City of Colwood has consistency in leadership to go along with some new blood on council.

Mayor Carol Hamilton won in a landslide tonight, while incumbent councillors Cynthia Day, Gordie Logan and Rob Martin will be joined for the next four years by former councillor Jason Nault and newcomers Lilja Chong, a 22-year-old university student, and retiree Terri Trace.

“I’m glad we can keep the momentum going,” Hamilton said on her reelection. “We’ve got a real good, solid core already, and new folks that can be integrated really well. Our newcomers will bring diversity. Jason has been on council before and Terri has years

of experience in municipal administration. And we’ve got newcomer Lilja Chong representing the upcoming (generations).”

Hamilton attracted 2,368 votes, far more than the 359 cast for mayoral challenger Robin Stanbridge. David Shebib, running in all 13 regional municipalities, received 94 votes.

Voter turnout in Colwood was 25 per cent, slightly under the 27 per cent seen in the 2011 election.

“I’m just relieved!” said Gordie Logan, laughing, as the poll results were announced. “It’s bittersweet because I’m going to miss the current council that’s been the best council in Colwood history. But I’m looking forward to working with the new council.

It will be the busiest and most productive council in Colwood history.”

Logan had big smiles and hearty handshakes for unsuccessful candidates Duane MacNeill and Robb Marty, who were also waiting at the

Familiar crew scores victory in Metchosin John Ranns scored an easy win over his opponents in the race for mayor of Metchosin Saturday night.

Voters also returned incumbent councillors Bob Gramigna and Moralea Milne to the John Ranns council table, along with former councillor Kyara Kahakauwila and newcomer Andy MacKinnon.

Ed Cooper, who told the Gazette several weeks back that he was mainly running to prevent Ranns from being acclaimed to the job, was left in the dust by the mayor, who outpolled the veteran 1,334 votes to 183. David Shebib, who was running in all 13 municipalities, received 39 votes.

Gramigna, MacKinnon and Milne each collected more than 1,000 votes. Kahakauwila, who served on council from 1999 to 2008 but lost a bid to get back onto council in 2011, pulled in 828 votes, beating next closest candidate Chris Moehr by 260.

Voter turnout for the district was 37 per cent, down from the 48 per cent seen in 2011.

By the numbers Vote totals for the District of Metchosin: MAYOR: * John Ranns ......................... 3,727 Ed Cooper ...................... 183 David Shebib .................. 39 COUNCILLOR: * Bob Gramigna....................... 1,082 Andy MacKinnon ................. 1,068 * Moralea Milne ...................... 1,010 Kyara Kahakauwila............... 828 Chris Moehr ..................... 568 Anne Richmond ................ 565 Karen Watson ................... 414 * incumbent

Changing of the the guard in Highlands There’ll be a lot of new faces around the council table in Highlands at the start of the next term.

Mayor-elect Ken Williams didn’t surprise anyone by beating out fringe candidate David Shebib for the top job.

Ken Williams The multi-term councillor garnered 480 votes to Shebib’s 42.

There was almost an equal absence of surprise in the councillor race, as six of the seven candidates were elected. Only 63 votes separated top vote-getter Leslie Anderson and the sixth candidate to get in, Ann Baird. Others making the grade included incumbents Karel Roessingh and Marcie McLean, along with Karen Burns and Gord Baird.

Ask the Expert Q: I recenty lost my mother who was 74 and passed away suddenly of a massive heart attack. I am so happy that, even though she was too young, this is exactly the way she wanted to go. But even knowing this I am really struggling with her loss. Do you have any suggestions for reading, support groups etc.

A: Losing a loved one is never an easy thing to do and although the stages of grief are similar everyone goes through them in their own time and their own way.

After the cards are all open, the guests have gone and the flowers have faded, families are left with the difficult task of recovery in the weeks, months and years following a funeral.

‘AfterCare’ is an important free service which we offer to assist the surviving loved ones with practical guidance, literature and emotional support anytime it’s needed. We can recommend reading material and put you in touch with support groups.

The coming holiday season can be especially challenging and each year we hold a Candlelight Service. An informal, nondenominational service of music, readings and reflection for all ages. We encourage you to come and light a candle in tribute to the loved one you miss, and help fill eht room with the light and warmth of memories. This service will be held on Thursday, December 11th from 7 - 9 pm.

ELECTION WRAP 2014:

Langford voters happy with ‘Stew’s Crew’ Incumbent mayor and councillors all win with wide margin of ballots Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Voters in Langford clearly feel now isn’t the time for change.

Stew Young and all six incumbent councillors staked their claim to another four years at the helm of one of the fastestgrowing communities in British Columbia, proving Langford residents are mostly happy with the status quo.

Lillian Szpak, Denise Blackwell, Lanny Seaton, Winnie Sifert, Roger Wade and Matt Sahlstrom, were elected Saturday with a resounding margin of victory over the slate of five Time for a Change candidates who campaigned for a change in the operational style of the current council.

Young, elected to an eighth mandate as mayor, reiterated that residents appreciate the improvements seen in the city under the guidance of the current council.

“I don’t want to ever go back to the way it was when I was growing up in Langford – no opportunities, no jobs and really everybody left,” he said. “I want to make sure this community is looked after and we continue to progressively move forward.”

Young defeated lone challenger David Shebib by a vote margin of about seven to one.

Shebib, a Saanich resident who was running in all 13 Capital Region municipalities, attracted 556 votes in Langford, the most of any of the municipalities in which he was running.

If you have been left the responsibility of finalizing the estate, you may be surprised by the number of details requiring your attention. Struggling with these can cause extra stress. We can provide invaluable insight to help you in your duties.

On Sunday, Pauline Power, a gratifying for our voters to see Time for a Change candidate is that they had many choices who received 1,293 votes to fin- on their ballot, thanks to democish eighth overall, offered con- racy.”

Young insisted the commugratulations to the incumbents.

“By the time things come to nity, and that is what they have council, when the public can elected here.”

The voter turnout of 19 per attend, it’s a done deal,” she said. “I just don’t think things cent in Langford was once again can change as long a the incum- the lowest in the West Shore, but bents are in power. But I’m not was up five per cent from the 2011 total. saying we’re giving up.”

Spray-painting vandals degrade park cenotaph Police looking into mischief incident at Veteran’s Memorial Park Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Lanny Seaton could only shake his head upon looking at the paint smeared on the solemn figure standing silently on the cenotaph in Veteran’s Memorial Park.

As a crew washed the last evidence of spray paint off the integral part of the memorial, a replica of the “Weeping Mother” statue that stands at Vimy Ridge, he questioned why anyone would wilfully do damage to such a sacred Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff spot.

Langford Coun. Lanny Seaton surveys what’s left of the graffiti “That’s like going in and defacing the weeping mother statue on the cenotaph. A cleanup smashing up gravesites, crew had removed the worst of the paint by midday Monday. Seaton it’s the same sort of thing,” guesses the vandalism occurred sometime late Saturday night or he said. “After what we’ve early Sunday morning. been through as a country to go in there and spray paint the cenotaph is just especially just after Remembrance Day and with the wreaths still there,” Scott said. “It’s disrespectdisrespectful.”

Seaton said the spray bomb vandalism to the ing our veterans of today and yesterday, and it’s cenotaph and to elements of the kid’s play park very sad that we have to deal with it.”

Seaton, who visited Vimy Ridge last year, said the nearby appears to have happened either late Saturday night or early Sunday morning. He hoped sacrifices made by Canadian soldiers were very the surveillance camera on top of the West Shore evident there, looking out at the sea of crosses.

Local talent in Canada’s top 55 Metchosin comedian pitched TV pilot for ‘throwaway’ characters Arnold Lim News staff

A former West Shore resident gooned his way into the the top 55 comedians in Canada.

A trio of actors including Belmont graduate Ryan McNeill Bolton, powered their

pitch project into the third round of CBC’s ComedyCoup challenge eying a grand prize of $500,000 to film a pilot episode of their show.

The former Metchosin resident and fellow Capilano University Photo contributed Acting for Stage and Malcolm Masters, left, Camden Screen Program gradu- Filtness and Ryan McNeil-Bolton. ates Malcolm Masters and Camden Filtness laughed threesome playing the leads.

“It started with a couple their way into the top 55 after two challenges for the CBC guys with a camera to keep contract. The project focused busy and keep acting and it on the throwaway goon char- picked up steam,” McNeillacters from TV and film get- Bolton said. “We focused on ting their own show with the having a good time doing it

and it grew from there. We had six episodes we had put online.”

An online presence and a proof of concept was enough for them to chase their dreams but the top 55 was as high as they would get. Goons lost out in the fan-voting portion of the multi-week challenge taking place Nov. 6-9 that would have taken them into the top 15 and into the judged portion of the challenge. The trio’s characters aptly named Goon 1, Goon 2 and Goon 3 can still be found on Youtube by searching Goons Webseries. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

More Light

At one time or another almost every parent scolds a child for reading in poor light. I often suspect the motivation is mostly jealousy. If I can’t read in poor light, why should anyone else?

Young healthy eyes have tremendous mechanisms in place to compensate for lack of light. No evidence exists to suggest reading in poor light can do permanent damage to the eyes, however reading in poor light can cause eyestrain.

As we age our ability to focus decreases. Extra light helps by increasing contrast and causing our pupils to contract. The smaller pupil increases our depth of focus, thereby making it easier to read.

A strong diffuse light is recommended for reading. Natural daylight is excellent as long as it comes from above or behind the reader. Avoid all sources of glare.

Many occupations and hobbies require specific lighting arrangements. If you have questions about your lighting needs, ask your family Optometrist, and don’t be surprised if “MORE LIGHT” is prescribed.

OUR VIEW

Change really is in the air here There was a definite choice by voters in Langford to retain the people who have helped build the city into what it is today.

Nonetheless, some interesting points emerged from last Saturday’s municipal election. We believe with more candidates running, including the fivemember Time for a Change slate, more residents were paying attention to the issues and thinking about what they saw for the municipality’s future.

The 19 per cent voter turnout, up from 14 per cent in 2011, is still poor and lowest among the five West Shore municipalities, but the improvement must be noted.

Does David Shebib really have a pocket of support for his ideals and philosophies nestled deep in the heart of the West Shore? The Saanich resident and operator of the Free Store received 556 votes in Langford alone, more than any of the 13 Capital Region municipalities in which he was running, including Saanich, where he drew 482.

Then there’s the non-binding referendum.

Langford’s no-beat-around-the-bush question, “Are you in favour of the City of Langford being amalgamated into a larger regional municipality?” went ‘yes,’ by the slim margin of 2,222 to 2,209.

If people were truly happy with the way things are, many more would have said ‘no’ to joining up with other municipalities to form a bigger one.

Interestingly, of those who voted, nearly 98 per cent of them ticked off the referendum box on the ballot.

So change really is coming to Langford, it just might take a while.

Change is coming a lot sooner down the road in View Royal and Highlands, where new mayors David Screech and Ken Williams, respectively, prepare to lead their councils and municipalities through the next four years.

Ten new councillors, one of whom has council experience, are sprinkled throughout the rest of the West Shore, a fact that could lead to subtle changes in the way things are done.

In Saanich and Victoria, Richard Atwell and oneterm councillor Lisa Helps upset the established guard, Frank Leonard and Dean Fortin respectively, in the race for mayor of the region’s two largest municipalities. Their leadership may well affect the relationships their jurisdictions have with those on the West Shore.

As someone once said, change is constant. It just takes a different form wherever one happens to be standing. That fact is evident moving around the West Shore, but it’s part of what makes living and working here so interesting and diverse.

(another area of constant union social engineering pressure) and now labour relations. Do we really need them any more?

After the 2013 B.C. election, the Christy Clark government wasted no time taking control of union bargaining on behalf of school districts. Trustees were pushed out of the bargaining agency, no longer trusted to represent taxpayers for that duty either.

The puppet role of some school trustees was evident in the recent teacher strike. When the province opted to pay parents for the disruption, there was a chorus of protest from those supposedly elected to represent the interests of parents and taxpayers.

School tax rates are now set by cabinet order, and the B.C. Liberal government is considering a move to regulate local industrial taxes.

(This would presumably be to keep union-influenced municipalities from trying to get too many golden eggs from those liquefied natural gas plants.)

Would Education Minister Peter Fassbender and his team continue their remake by amalgamating or eliminating school boards? Not likely.

With a rare teacher settlement in place, trustees will have less incentive to grandstand. And their meetings may become something more than union beef sessions.

Number of TB cases dwarf those of Ebola While the world watches in morbid fascination as Ebola burns through west Africa, there’s another, more patient killer that will claim far more victims.

Unlike Ebola, tuberculosis takes its victims slowly, ensuring that on average a TB sufferer infects almost a dozen others before they are treated – or die.

Each year nine million people are newly infected with TB, a third of whom are never diagnosed. Of those, 1.4 million will die. These numbers

where artists opened their studios to the public and allowed patrons to glimpse how process becomes product.

Since then, the group has expanded to include a fall tour, which this year was held in a single place, West-Mont Montessori School, uniting the artists under one roof.

For those who missed out, Semple says it’s possible to contact individual member studios to see if you can drop by to purchase some of their work.

“Almost anybody who makes art is happy to have people call and say, ‘Can I come and see?’ because what’s the point of making this stuff if no one sees it?” she says.

We knew that our toilet was using water. We didn’t know it was losing water.

When we heard that in one year a leaking toilet could waste enough water to fill a swimming pool, we wanted to know if our toilet was water tight. So we picked up a leak detector tablet and did the test. Turns out, our toilet needed a simple tune-up. Now it’s working fine.

Pick up your free leak detector tablets at either 479 Island Highway or 625 Fisgard Street. Or simply call 250.474.9684 to receive them in the mail.

Seven-year-old Lochlyn McDonald and her mother, Carmen McDonald, hold up a cheque for $2,500 raised at the West Shore Bank of Montreal. The bank donated the funds to the Help Fill a Dream Foundation on behalf of staff volunteers to help the young girl realize a dream of a Disney cruise.

Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

A seven-year-old West Shore girl will soon see her dreams come true.

After years of back and forth to the B.C. Children’s Hospital, Lochlyn McDonald will be visiting Mickey and Minnie Mouse on a cruise ship instead of doctors at a hospital when the Langford resident makes her way onto a Disney Cruise courtesy of the Help Fill a Dream Foundation.

“It took her a long road to get to seven years old being in and out of the hospital for the majority of her first four to five years with a multitude of surgeries,” said mother Carmen McDonald.

“When Lochlyn was first born they told us she would never see one, so for her to be seven years

Raise money what matters to you.

“It’s a feeling of warmth in your heart, and when you look at kids like Lochlyn and you see the smile ... That is why we do it all.”

Craig Smith, Help Fill A Dream executive director can affect development and is characterized by unusually flexible joints, loose folds of skin, heart abnormalities and increased risk of cancerous tumours. She was selected by the HFDF, which raised money at a dart tournament Nov. 8 with more funds donated through Bank of Montreal employees. A $1,500 cheque awarded to Jaime Adams of BMO for her volunteerism in the community and a $1,000 BMO performance incentive earned by the members of

the branch were donated into the non-profit to buoy the total to $2,500.

“It’s a feeling of warmth in your heart, and when you look at kids like Lochlyn and you see the smile, that is the pinnacle.

That is why we do it all,” said HFDF executive director Craig Smith. “We provide an escape to focus on things aside from the not so nice things going on in their lives.”

The cruise sets sail through the Panama Canal in May of 2015 where the entire family of four hit the high seas and BMO West Shore branch manager Shaun Wysiecki said the funds are going to the right place.

“It is absolutely incredible to see we are impacting a local family. Banking is what we do for a living, but we are people first and bankers second,” he said. “Human moments like that are really neat for the individuals that work for us... To see how the company they work for cares about the community and we can see the families we impact.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Irene Woodruff of Victoria works away on another scarf as she sits surrounded by her finished products, at the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 91 Christmas Craft Sale on Sunday in Langford. The event also serves as a fundraiser for the Goldstream Food Bank and a variety of women’s emergency services.

One crafty fundraiser idea Annual Legion Ladies Auxiliary event helps women’s groups Holiday decorating and fashion ideas of all kinds were featured at the annual Royal Canadian Legion Branch 91 Christmas Craft Sale, Sunday at the Prince Edward branch on Station Avenue in Langford.

One of the most popular tables to visit over the years has been that of Langford crafter and baker Lynn St. Laurent.

“I’m well-known for my baking,” she said, as the event was nearly wrapping up.

“It just never stopped today.

This is such a well-done show, it’s well organized.”

St. Laurent has been setting up her vendor’s table inside the Legion for this sale for the past 19 years.

That’s five years or so longer than Trudine Wilson and Gail Graham, of the Legion Ladies Auxiliary’s ways and means committee, have been jointly organizing the pre-holiday seasonal event.

“It’s been a great turnout,” Wil-

son said. “And the tables are all already booked for next year.”

Not only did the 36 vendors have their goods for sale, the Legion Ladies held a silent auction and tea to help raise money for a variety of non-profit agencies in the area.

Those included the Goldstream Food Bank, the Women’s Sexual Assault Centre, the Cridge Centre for the Family and Victoria Women’s Transition House.

In past years the fundraiser aspect of the sale has generated around $200 for each of the groups, Wilson said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Holiday customs from around the world will be celebrated in earnest when Metchosin’s toastmasters group, the ‘Chosin Chatters, hosts students from international school Pearson College at their second annual “Christmas Around the World” event, Nov. 25.

This year’s students will share stories of holiday celebrations from their home countries of Israel, Palestine, the Bahamas

and the Ukraine, and they will all be speaking in English, even though most are new learners to the language.

“They’re just brilliant kids,” said Debby Volk, a relative newcomer to the toastmasters group who’s taken in students from Pearson College in the past. “It should be an interesting evening.”

“While not everyone celebrates Christmas, the season is certainly a celebratory one in most countries and cultures,” said Alison Harle, ‘Chosin Chatters past president. “One of the most wonderful things about (Pearson) College is the opportunity for our Metchosin and East Sooke communities to share in holiday customs from around the world.”

The evening came together last year as a way to connect the community, spread awareness about public speaking and

to help the College’s students grow their skills and feel a sense of belonging.

“It was that time of the season. The students’ families aren’t always around,” said current ‘Chosin Chatters president Larry Conarroe. “And just their influence, bringing their culture and different foods and sharing that with us. It was touching for them, to know they’re not alone.”

The event runs from 7 to 9 p.m. Nov. 25 at the Metchosin Community House, 4430 Happy Valley Rd. Admission is by donation of a non-perishable food item, or cash for the Goldstream Food Bank. Everyone is welcome to attend. For more information, contact the ‘Chosin Chatters at info@chosinchatters. org, or drop in at any club meeting, held Tuesdays from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the Metchosin Community House.

ELECTION WRAP 2014:

Screech shifts seats to take over View Royal mayor’s chair Aaron Weisgerber lone newcomer to chamber

last three years and we are going to achieve great things for the town,” he said.

Rast, the top vote-getter with 1,536 votes, was also pleased with Weisgerber’s election, noting, “it’s always great to have new voices on council.”

“Change is good and should be something that should be embraced, but I think the voter turnout and the incumbents being re-elected shows the constituents have great faith in the council,” she said.

Following long days of campaigning and sleepless nights heading into election day, Screech congratulated Burchill and said he looks forward to the next four years.

“I hope to just continue to build on the good work of this past council and continue Graham’s good work. I am thankful they voted me into the position, I’m honoured and excited.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

After serving four terms on View Royal council, David Screech is ready to assume the top political job in the municipality.

Standing at the head of a table and joined by re-elected councillors John Rogers and Heidi Rast and council newcomer Aaron Weisgerber on Saturday night, the mayorelect was all smiles after receiving the news he would succeed retiring Mayor Graham Hill.

“It’s always a stressful time waiting for those results,” Screech said. “It’s a long, long day and it gets longer the closer it gets, so I am just excited. I am extremely honoured the residents of View Royal have placed their trust in me and I will do everything I can to live up to that.”

Screech garnered 1,336 votes, giving him a victory margin of more than 600 votes over nearest challenger Brian Burchill.

David Shebib was barely a blip, receiving just 45 votes.

Rounding out the four councillor seats is incumbent Ron Mattson, who joined Rast and Rogers in putting some space between themselves and the nearest challengers.

“I am excited to see the three incumbents back, plus a great new addition in Aaron,” Screech said. “I think it’s always great to see new blood. Aaron’s been involved in the fire hall committee and he’s a good fellow.”

By the numbers Arnold Lim/News staff

David Screech is all smiles following the announcement of their victory at the Four Mile restaurant in View Royal. to the polls.

Voter turnout in View Royal was about 28 per cent, nearly identical to the mark seen in 2011.

Political veteran Rogers, elected for his seventh term on View Royal council, was optimistic about the future of the town.

“We have stability. We can carry on with the momentum we have achieved in the

Weisgerber finished about 450 votes behind Mattson to wrap up the final spot, but edged the top defeated candidate, Mark Brennan, by just 81 votes.

“I’m pleased that my hard work and dedication to View Royal has paid off,” Weisgerber said of his success.

He thanked his supporters and voiced appreciation for the voters who turned out

Largest municipalities gained new mayors Big changes in Cap. Region Richard Atwell squeaked out a win over incumbent and six-term Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard Saturday in what most are calling the upset of the night around the region..

Atwell defeated Leonard by just over 1,000 votes, according to the unofficial count. Mayoral candidate David Shebib, who ran on a platform of dissolving the current system of government, received 482 votes, about 1.7 per cent of overall votes for mayor. “It was time for a change,� said Atwell from his campaign office at 3789 Quadra St. on election night “Last election, (David) Cubberley brought something, but it wasn’t enough. This time, something I did resonated with everyone.�

Atwell has gained recognition in his advocacy as a prominent critic of the Capital Regional District’s sewage treatment project for the past few years. He said his first order of business is to reshape council procedures and open council up to the public for non-agenda items, so people can speak their mind.

Helps captures Victoria mayoralty Lisa Helps defeated two-term mayor Dean Fortin by just 89 votes in Victoria. “Now the work begins,� Helps said shortly after her victory. She believes what put her over the edge was her dedication and connections with the citizens of Victoria. “We came from behind. We don’t have political affiliation, we have people,� said Helps. “It was people that helped me with this election, and it’s people that will help me run the city.� editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Belmont seniors advance Reader Photo to volleyball provincials of the Week

Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

The hallways of Belmont secondary will be slightly less crowded next week, with members of the senior boys and girls volleyball teams competing at their respective B.C. high school championships.

The Bulldogs girls punched their ticket to Cranbrook for the AAAA tournament by reaching the final of the Island tournament Saturday at Oak Bay against the host Breakers.

The best-of-five match, won 3-1 by Oak Bay, was the latest in the teams’ continuing rivalry, and came after Belmont won their head-to-head preliminary round match two straight games.

The Bulldogs rolled through their pool with three straight match wins then downed an improved Stelly’s team 3-1 in the best-of-five semifinals.

The Breakers had more left in the tank by the end of Saturday’s play, Belmont head coach Mike Toakley said.

“It was a case of Oak Bay taking their game to a higher level against an exhausted group,” he said, noting his team has been short players due to various injuries.

One bonus was having Allegra Pala, who has been suffering from back pain, play the entire tournament in the front row for the Bulldogs. Her presence gave Toakley more flexibility in making up the lineup, he said, and allowed him to move right side Nicole Bracewell back to the libero position on defence.

Belmont also downed Spectrum and Cowichan in pool play to set up the semifinal match against the Stingers, who placed second in the opposite pool behind Oak Bay. The Breakers went on to beat Claremont 3-0 in the other semifinal.

The standout performances of four Belmont players drew the attention of the collection of coaches tasked with picking tournament all-stars.

Setter Danielle Potier and power hitter Cassy Allen were named to the first team, while Bracewell and power hitter Jessica Thomsen made the second team.

Toakley said reaching the provincials was a major objective for his

squad, which was bumped off the B.C. rankings list last week by Oak Bay. The Breakers took over at No. 10 and was expected to stay there this week.

“The goal was just to get there and to have that done, it’s all gravy from here,” the coach said of the B.C championship tournament. “It’s a neat opportunity that I’m glad they’re going to have a chance to experience.”

With the extra week of rest leading up to the provincials, the Bulldogs will be up to nine players in Cranbrook, which leaves Toakley more enthusiastic about his team’s chances to do well. Power hitter Kendra Hobenshield has been greenlighted for the provincials after rehabbing from a knee injury.

The provincial championships run Nov. 27 to 29 at Mount Baker secondary in Cranbrook.

Bulldog boys win key matches in Nanaimo Despite winding up the Island AAA boys tournament with losses in the semifinal and bronze-medal matches, earlier wins over two Greater Victoria rivals allowed the Bulldogs to qualify for the upcoming B.C. AAA high school boys championships in Langley.

The Bulldogs split their pool matches, losing to host Dover Bay and gaining a measure of revenge by beating Reynolds, who knocked the Bulldogs out of contention for the Judy Bourne Cup citywide final four two weeks ago.

That placed the Bulldogs into the quarter-finals against Claremont.

Belmont won there to assure themselves one of the four Island berths into the provincials.

The Bulldogs went on to lose the semifinal to Dover Bay and the thirdfourth game to Vanier from Courtenay.

Middle blocker Jakob Purdy of Belmont was selected to the all-star team.

Langford resident Kim O’Donohue caught up with this pair of swans during a trip down to Esquimalt Lagoon.

Her welltimed shutter finger managed to capture the birds’ necks in an almost perfect heart shape, a composition that grabbed our attention.

“The reason I like this photo is because they look like two lovers,” O’Donahue wrote in her email.
