Residents want park expanded in face of development Valuable Metchosin lot likely to be subdivided Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

There’s a move afoot to keep part of a piece of private property slated for development adjacent to Tower Point Park in Metchosin as an asset for the region. The area, which features spectacular views of Juan de Fuca Strait and Victoria, is a popular recreation destination, picnic spot and favourite dog walk area, given its off-leash designation, says nearby resident Ken Farquharson. He recently presented a motion to Metchosin council, with the supJohn Ranns port of the Association for the Protection of Rural Metchosin, encouraging the district to explore options for keeping some of the property to expand the adjacent Capital Regional District park. Among the ideas was purchasing land with financial assistance from the CRD. The proposed subdivision is about four hectares, while Tower Point Park is roughly three hectares in size. The development proponent, Ridley Brothers, is looking to subdivide the property into eight lots. The company did not return calls for comment before the Gazette print deadline.

Dusty Morris of Langford takes his remote control drone out for a quick flight. Morris has combined his passion for photography and remote control vehicles into a new business venture.

Bird’s eye business taking off Cook combines two loves into side career Mike Davies News Gazette staff

Back when he was finishing high school, Langford’s Dusty Morris got a job as a dishwasher at the Loghouse Pub on Millstream Road. Over a period of eight years, he worked his way up to first cook. These days, he’s up at Jack’s Place on Bear Mountain. In between those kitchen gigs,

however, Morris took a few side paths. He did some masonry for a while after his time at the Loghouse, ”but that was really, really hard,” he says with a laugh. So he took off to Port Alberni to help a friend rebuild a house, he says, “and to find myself – reassess what I was doing with my life.” It was during this reassessment that he had an idea to try and combine two of his long-time passions – photography and aviation – into a new career path. “My dream job, when I was a kid, was to be a photographer for National Geographic,” he says. “And I’ve always

been an (remote control) guy. I started with cars when I was a kid, but it developed into a love of anything you could control remotely.” Once he found aircraft, there was no turning back. “And then I started mounting little video cameras to them – just with tape,” he says. While the image quality was terrible in the early days, there was something that fascinated him with the angles of the world he could capture remotely from up in the sky.

District long aware of future application Continued from Page A1

Farquharson and other concerned citizens conducted a survey recently that indicates the park is visited regularly by people from around the Capital Region. “The park is short of space, especially when you look at the amount of people who use it,” he said, adding that situation will only increase with the amount of development underway on the West Shore. Farquharson plans to discuss the matter with CRD Parks this week.

He made several other proposals in last week’s presentation to Metchosin council. They included moving the eastern park boundary to the east side of the proposed private road, purchasing a strip of land along the waterfront, changing the property line to allow for a trail along the shoreline, requiring that a covenant be placed over the shoreline and remaining natural vegetation, and purchasing a right-of-way for a trail along the shoreline. APRM president Frank Mitchell

said it’s important to explore all options, because of the natural beauty, amazing panoramic vistas and its popularity with dog owners, especially with the increasing need for such areas based on the growth in other West Shore areas. Metchosin Mayor John Ranns said the District has been aware the property could be subdivided for many years, but has always hoped it wouldn’t be. “That is probably the highestvalued property in Metchosin,” he said. “We don’t have the money

Future Shop rebranded as Best Buy

to purchase that. We do have the ability to request five per cent of the property in lieu of cash, and I anticipate council will make that request.” The property, zoned before the District incorporated in 1984, can be subdivided under the current regulations. Said Ranns: “In Metchosin we stick to our zoning, and that goes both ways.” Metchosin chief administrative officer Lisa Urlacher said the application is under review. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Not much will change except the name, according to the information on Best Buy’s website. The Future Shop store on McCallum Road in Langford, which closed last week, is set to reopen on Saturday (April 4) as a Best Buy store. The Langford and Saanich Future Shop locations, two of five on Vancouver Island, were among 131 stores across Canada that closed on March 28. Best Buy Canada, a subsidiary of Best Buy Co. Inc., owner and operator of Best Buy and Future Shop, indicated that 66 Future Shop locations will close permanently, while 65 would continue to operate under the Best Buy banner, including the five Island locations. Best Buy stores will honour Future Shop gift cards and warranties. A Best Buy that opened in 2010 at Westshore Town Centre in Langford closed in January 2013. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Family-friendly amenity added to parks mix in Colwood Mike Davies News Gazette staff

There’s now another new playground for area families to get excited about. It hasn’t been officially opened, but the building of it is complete and some West Shore families are already using it. It’s in the lower section of the West Shore Parks and Recreation complex, past the soccer fields by the basketball courts – just look for the snow fencing that’s still surrounding the area. “We’ve been fundraising for probably three years along with the Rotary,” parks and rec chief administrative officer Linda Barnes said of the expansion of

playground offerings on the site. Through various community initiatives, foundational support, book sales and other fundraising projects, the parks and rec department and Rotary collected the $250,000 needed to build the new playground, without having to dip into any taxpayer or municipal funds, she said. “We’re officially opening it in May, but we must already have 60 kids a day down there. It’s crazy.” The new playground is the first of many similar expansions West Shore Parks and Recreation plans in the coming months and years.

Terry Roswell, president of the board of directors for Four Seasons, believes strongly in the value of musical theatre to both audiences and performers. “Musical theatre is life-affirming, teaches teamwork and builds self-confidence in the kids in our Ever wondered what the shows – even the seasoned adults,” key to a successful theatre he says. “Kids and adults in the company is?

Established in the 1970’s as located in the West Shore is the region’s strong a Gilbert and Sullivan troupe, family and community focus, Roswell says, the focus has since shifted admitting that he moved here for precisely many times; sometimes to those reasons. “There are lots of families on serious musical theatre, at the West Shore with kids of all ages, with many others to purely children’s more moving here every year. It feels like a theatre, and now, toward happening place to be.” When it comes to attracting Victoria presenting adult- and kids-pleasing hits like the audiences, Roswell laments the mindset upcoming extravaganza of many theatre goers, who would rather drive downtown and search for parking Shrek: The Musical Musical. Located on the West Shore than drive 15 minutes to the West Shore, since 1995, Four Seasons has where parking is a breeze. “We have to get had the tenacity to continue away from the silo mindset.” The company has many accomto engage its audiences with exciting shows, while plishments: they have supported Victoria at the same time offering playwrights by producing locally-written a safe and affirming place shows, and many alumni have gone on for up-and-coming theatre to successful careers on stage, film and kids to explore the craft beyond. But the biggest highlight, in Roswell’s opinion, is the on-going enrichment of the community and its members through theatre. “Every show is a highlight in my opinion. Seeing every single audience get to their feet at the end of our last show (The Secret Garden) was a personal highlight for me. And bringing Shrek: The Musical to our audiences in May is another highlight. The fact that there are 60 to 80 people who come together as a team to put on a show is a high point in itself.” Roswell looks forward to the possibility of the company moving from its current residence at the Isabelle Reader Theatre into a new venue, where it would have room to increase the orchestra and allow for even more elaborate sets. “We do well now and our shows are Let your expectations soar.

Don’t Retire Vision

You don’t have to worry about running out of vision. It’s not like you can use it up and then there is no more left. As long as the eye is healthy it will pick up visual signals and transmit them to the brain to be interpreted. It will go on doing this indefinitely without ever quitting. The muscles of the eye, on the other hand, can become fatigued. Long periods of concentrated reading or close work may weary them to the point where they just cannot go on responding to the demands put on them. The need a temporary rest. It is this feeling of the eye fatigue which has let to the myth that vision can be “worn out”. The sad thing about this is that many older people voluntarily limit the use of their eyes. They cut back on their reading, sewing and television watching for fear of losing their remaining eyesight. Well, there’s no reason to retire vision. With good health and suitable vision aids, there are no limits to what you can see. And, in fact, the one person you should make a point of seeing on a regular basis is your Optometrist.

Now open on Douglas at Finlayson.

OUR VIEW

Best Buy move not surprising Last week’s closure of Future Shop stores across Canada, including the Langford and Saanich locations, came somewhat out of the blue for most area customers of the popular electronics retailer. And the fact parent company Best Buy Canada has chosen to rebrand 65 of its 131 Future Shop stores in this country as Best Buy – including the two Greater Victoria stores – might sound a little confusing, especially since it closed its Best Buy stores in this area some time back. Chalk it all up to the topsy-turvy, shareholder return-driven world of corporate America. Needing to improve its bottom line, Best Buy, which purchased Vancouver-based Future Shop in 2001, shaved 950 full-time Canadian employees from its payroll at the two brands in early 2014. Like many mega-corporations today, it’s all about return on investment, and the people on the front lines are the ones who pay the price for downsizing. Luckily, employees at the Langford and Saanich stores were spared the permanent axe and will continue to collect their paycheques, albeit with an interruption of about a week or so. Both stores appear to be doing well, especially since the closure of Best Buy stores, their largest competitor, in January 2013. We appreciate the fact that Greater Victoria customers who purchased items from Future Shop will have their warranties honoured by Best Buy, but that doesn’t guarantee job security for the workers. While the trend is toward more purchases being made online – even for Best Buy – not everyone likes to shop without the experience of being able to pick up a product and see how it feels. Whether this rather major industry hiccup is a foretelling of the future of electronics retailing on the West Shore and beyond is anyone’s guess. Area residents may remember the short lifespan in Langford of former home electronics giant A & B Sound. We just hope that Best Buy employees start to look at a Plan B before too long, in case the worst comes sooner than later. What do you think?

She appointed Falcon The plan was for First Nations as finance minister to drive a stake to repay their loans out of cash into the harmonized sales tax, and settlements made to them for Abbott as education minister to fashion a pre-election truce with the 100-odd years of uncompensated resource extraction, which is now ever-hostile teachers’ union.

Nations stuck at the treaty table have borrowed too much to go on, she said last year, calling for an “exit strategy” that forgives debt. The probability of the B.C. government making this decision without talking to the federal paymaster is exactly zero. I’m told the province’s clumsy timing had something to do with Ottawa’s late demands. I asked Clark if her plan to settle land claims faster was anything like the 2009 attempt by Gordon Campbell’s deputy minister Jessica McDonald to negotiate a provincewide deal declaring aboriginal title. Clark sidestepped the question, saying only that the 150 B.C. First Nations not at the treaty table need a say and a solution too. (McDonald now faces a similar legal gridlock as the Clarkappointed CEO of BC Hydro, trying to build the Site C dam.) Pierre, a veteran administrator from the Ktunaxa Tribal Council in the Kootenays, made a prophetic statement when her term as chief commissioner was extended three years ago. She said if Ottawa isn’t prepared to give federal negotiators a realistic mandate on compensation and sharing of salmon rights, they should “shut ’er down.” Her advice may have been heard after all.

Opposition mounts against Bill C-51 Contrary to what our federal government would have us believe, Bill C-51 does little, if anything to protect us from terrorism. Effective laws that protect us from terrorism are already in place, as evidenced by the low number of successful attacks in Canada (a person is literally more likely to be struck -- and killed -- by lightning), and unlike Bill C-51, our existing laws do not strip us of our Charter rights, our freedoms and our privacy. The Canadian Security and Intelligence Service was formed in the 1970s to separate the police (RCMP) from the intelligence agency. Bill C-51 would not only permit CSIS to

engage in police activities, but to do so without additional oversight or accountability to go along with the new powers. This Anti-Terrorism Act is so broad that even the Conservatives don’t know what it means. When Justice Minister Peter MacKay was asked the definition of terrorism, he told reporters, “Look it up.” Nowhere in Bill C-51 is terrorism defined. Will it simply be defined by the government of the day, depending on their interests and policies? Will anyone disagreeing with their views be deemed a terrorist? Some argue that if you have done nothing wrong, what does it matter if everything about you is made public?

The problem is the collected information is not being used to prevent terrorism, but to prevent dissent. We need to stop Bill C-51 from turning spies into secret police, politicians into judges and democracy into terrorism. Alison Phosy Saanich

Last Saturday’s Earth Hour initiative, overseen in this province by B.C. Hydro as a way to reduce electricity use, saw its lowest residential and commercial takeup since the program began. B.C.’s reduction of 15 megawatt hours of power between 8:30 and 9:30 p.m. was the lowest since 2008, the first year B.C. Hydro joined the international event begun by the World Wildlife Fund. The previous low was 64.6 megawatt hours in 2010, followed by 65 last year. The high energy savings to date is 136 megawatt hours in 2013. The lights and other electrical functions shut down for an hour this year did reduce the provincial electrical load by .2 per cent, the equivalent of turning off 680,000 LED light bulbs for an hour. Among B.C. cities and towns, Whistler led the way, reducing its power usage by 7.2 per cent during Earth Hour. West Shore municipalities were led by Highlands (1.9 per cent) and View Royal (1.7 per cent), while Sooke achieved a 2.3-per cent reduction.

Capital Regional District Notice to Electors Within the Capital Regional District Alternative Approval Process for CRD Bylaw 3981 - Authorizing the borrowing of $14,800,000 for acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Area Notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of the Capital Regional District (“CRD”) proposes to adopt Bylaw No. 3981, “Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Facilities Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1, 2014 “ to authorize the borrowing of up to Fourteen Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($14,800,000) for the purpose of acquiring, designing and constructing water distribution facilities in the western communities of the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Area. Over the next five years the CRD will need up to $14,800,000 to meet the cash requirements necessary to fund investments in the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution system infrastructure. Borrowing will only occur after review and confirmation of the cash flow requirements and approval of the projects by the Juan de Fuca Water Distribution Commission. The debt servicing costs will be recovered through the retail water rate. Take further notice that the CRD may proceed with Bylaw No. 3981 unless at least 5,561 electors within the CRD indicate by signing the elector response forms, that the Board must obtain the assent of the electors by way of referendum before proceeding to adopt Bylaw No. 3981. The elector response form must be in the form as established by the CRD and forms are available from the CRD on request. The only persons entitled to sign elector response forms are electors of the area to which the alternative approval process opportunity applies. The alternative approval process opportunity applies within the following municipalities of the CRD: Colwood, Highlands (that part within the RUCSPA set out in Bylaw No. 3820), Langford, Metchosin, Sooke and View Royal and a portion of the Juan de Fuca Electoral Area (East Sooke participating area). The deadline for delivering the original signed elector response forms, in relation to Bylaw No. 3981, to the CRD is 4:00 pm on Monday, May 4, 2015. Forms must be received by the deadline to be counted.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The City of Langford has received an application to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw No. 1562. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Tuesday, 7 April 2015, at 7:00 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

The CRD has estimated that the total number of electors within the service area is 55,614 and that 10% of that number or 5,561 electors must submit elector response forms to prevent the CRD from enacting Bylaw No. 3981 without the assent of the electors by referendum. Further technical information concerning Bylaw No. 3981 may be obtained from Ted Robbins, General Manager, Integrated Water Services, 479 Island Highway, Victoria, BC V9B 1H7 (Tel: 250.474.9604) during regular office hours Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays) from the date of this notice until May 4, 2015.

Proposal: The purpose of Bylaw No. 1562 is to amend the City of Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by amending the zoning designation of the land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1562 from the current CD8 (Comprehensive Development 8 – Valley View) Area 1 – Single Family Dwellings Zone and adding to the CD8 (Comprehensive Development 8 – Valley View) Area 2 – Townhouse Residential Zone to allow a development of approximately 20 townhouses on the subject properties.

Non-Resident Property Elector: You may submit an elector response form as a Non-Resident Property Elector if you are 18 years or older on the date of submission of the elector response form, are a Canadian citizen, have resided in British Columbia for 6 months, have owned and held registered title to property in the CRD for 30 days and do NOT qualify as a Resident Elector. If there is more than one registered owner of the property (either as joint tenants or tenants in common) only one individual may, with the written consent of the majority, submit an elector response form.

Applicant: Richard Irwin, Irwin Consulting

A copy of the elector response form may be downloaded from: www.crd.bc.ca/about/how-we-are-governed/elections-other-voting

Location: The land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1562 is 919, 923, 927, 931, 935, 939 and 943 Wild Ridge Way as shown shaded on the plan. COPIES of the complete proposed Bylaw and other material that the Council may consider in relation to the Bylaw may be viewed from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (holidays excluded), from Monday, 23 March 2015 to Tuesday, 7 April 2015, inclusive, at Langford City Hall, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, V9B 2X8.

Junior football Rebels looking for billet families Hosts can help young athletes excel on and off the field

Westshore Rebels defensive lineman Tyson Morrison relaxes in his room at the family home in Langford. While he’s one of the many local players on the team who are able to live at home, out-oftown players must be billeted with local families. The Rebels are looking for new hosts for this year’s crop of non-local players.

Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Langford area homeowners keen on helping a youthoriented organization gain a leg up on the 2015 season are invited to find out more about billeting players for the Westshore Rebels junior football team.

co-ordinator. For prospective hosts, she says, “They’re supporting local junior football, so it’s another way of giving back to their community. Plus, the football family is a nice family to be a part of.” Billeting players can be an ideal way for football fans to get closer to the action, Allard says. Not only do hosts get to know the players quite well, they receive two tickets for each of the Rebels’ five home games for the season to use however they wish. For full-season billets, the club pays a $600 per month honorarium to help defray the costs of having an extra person in the home from June to November. The relationship between the players and their billets is a personal one that varies from one home to the next, depending on the individuals involved and the house rules and expectations. While the team does its best to match players with an appropriate billet home, those guidelines are largely worked out between the billet and player, Allard says. For security purposes, both players and billet families must undergo a criminal record check. Forms are available from the team to take to West Shore RCMP. To find out more information on being a billet, email billets@ westshorerebels.ca or visit westhorerebels.ca. editor@goldstream gazette.com
