Latest crash on Goldstream revives call for improvements Resident wants Langford to undertake precautionary work now before disaster occurs Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Another crash on the notorious stretch of Goldstream Avenue near the Trans Canada Highway access in Langford has at least one resident wanting the City to take action now and not wait until the road is closed to highway traffic. Area resident Stephanie Parson said some of the problems on the road started after the City installed no parking signs along the north side of Goldstream last year. She said this forced residents to park on the opposite side, next to traffic coming off the TCH. “It was never an issue (before),” she said. Since the parking change, Parson added, she’s seen an increase in incidents, with one neighbour having their driver’s door mirror broken off by a passing car, even though the car was parked within its spot. “This is way more dangerous.” Parson said drivers coming off the TCH often ignore the posted speed limits and continue through the area at highway speeds. “I’m worried someone else is going to get killed,” she said. It’s the same area where a Langford woman was struck and killed by a car after running onto the road after a dog last year. Last Thursday, an early morning wreck at around 3:30 caused Parson to jump out of bed. The crash, outside her house in the 1200-block of Goldstream Avenue, totalled both vehicles. “I thought the side of my house was going to fall off,” she said, referencing the noise the impact made.

Tour de Victoria a true father-and-son affair Ryder Hesjedal to pedal along with dad on one of three routes around Capital Region

roads that set it apart from other venues, he said. “One of the cool things about riding in this area is the variety of terrain,” McGrath said, comparing the routes to those found on races in Europe. “You’re riding along the beach at the Lagoon, through farmlands in Metchosin, around the hills of the Highlands, in wine country on the Peninsula, then on the waterfront in Saanich and Oak Bay.” Registrations are open until Saturday. Entry fees are $215 for the Harbour Air epic, $175 for the Legend and $110 for the Challenge. Cycle over to tourdevictoria.com to register for the ride or find more information. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

If you’re looking for a ride that you can tailor to your skill and fitness levels, the Tour de Victoria may be just the ticket. The fifth annual Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria, happening Sunday (Aug. 23), offers a choice of three distances in a noncompetitive, mass participation format that works its way through the Capital Region and the West Shore, depending on the distance you choose. The 140-kilometre Harbour Air Epic course is geared toward competitive riders, while the 85km Legend route is designed to appeal to cycling enthusiasts. The 45km Challenge is more for the entrylevel cyclist, which this year will include first-time entrant Leonard Hesjedal, Ryder’s father. “I was inspired a few years ago by a rider with one leg who took part,” said Leonard, who has volunteered with the event since its inception. “And last year I made a promise to the oldest participant in the race that I would ride with him this year.” Leonard said Ryder, who grew up in the Highlands, showed an interest in cycling at an early age

Pick your riding test Three routes of various degrees of difficulty are available for the Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria: n Harbour Air Epic (140km) – For experienced cyclists looking for a challenge; 1,500-metre elevation gain, multiple timed sections; 3.5 to 9 hours. n ProCity Legend (85km) – For less competitive cyclists; starts at Western Speedway, elevation gain 850 metres, 2.5 to 6 hours. n Challenge (45km) – More of a casual ride starting from Iroquois Park in Sidney, highlights the region’s cyling friendly routes, 390 metre elevation gain, 2 to 4.5 hours.

Riders pedal up a hill on Metchosin Road during last year’s Tour de Victoria. This Sunday’s early morning rides will see various roadways around the West Shore and Greater Victoria mostly limited to one-way traffic to accommodate cyclists, while full closures will be in effect for stretches of time along the routes through Oak Bay and Victoria, and at the Inner Harbour from 5 to 6 p.m. and made a three-year commitment to get serious about the sport after he won his first mountain bike race. “Ryder’s level of commitment and dedication (throughout that three-year period) made me realize that he had the potential to do great things one day,” he said. Despite Ryder’s success, which includes winning the 2012 Giro d’Italia and placing fifth in the Tour de France in 2010, he’s never lost sight of where he’s from, dad said.

“Ryder put the Tour de Victoria together to raise funds to support racers and the cycling community. He really enjoys the opportunity to give something back to the community he grew up in.” Leonard looks forward to the opportunity to finally take part in an event his son is riding in. “It’s a proud moment to be able to celebrate the sport,” he said. Tour de Victoria director Seamus McGrath, who has ridden with Ryder Hesjedal on various occa-

sions and will this time around, said it’s “always nice when he can make it here.” The presence of the Tour’s namesake is proving to be a drawing card, McGrath said. “We’re well ahead of last year’s event in terms of numbers,” he said, adding that the 2014 total of 1,000 riders should increase by 300 or 400. The courses’ routes, which are tweaked every year, include the Lochside Trail, the Galloping Goose, mountain views and scenic

Monday morning saw crews across the West Shore busy battling several brush fires. View Royal Fire and Langford Fire Rescue crews attended a collection of fires burning simultaneously beside the Trans Canada Highway between Thetis Lake and the Langford border at roughly 7:45 a.m. “What was curious about it was we had four fires,” said View Royal Lt. Rob Marshall. He said there was one larger fire and three smaller ones but after some investigation

News Gazette staff

An industrial boom lift collapsed Thursday at a Metchosin worksite, leaving one man dead and another injured. West Shore RCMP and B.C. Ambulance Service responded to initial reports of a “crane” collapsing at approximately 2:40 p.m. at a construction site in the 4700-block of McVicker Road in Metchosin.

They found two victims at the site, one deceased and one injured. RCMP initially believed that the dead man was the lift operator, but further investigation confirmed that 42-year-old Robert Davison, who was working on the ground, sustained significant injuries which proved fatal. The injuries suffered by the operator of the boom lift were undetermined at press time. Metchosin firefighters were first on scene. Fire Chief Steph-

anie Dunlop said Davison, pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics, suffered “traumatic arrest due to the incident,” said Dunlop. She couldn’t confirm which injuries caused his death. RCMP would not release any more details on this ongoing investigation. They are working with WorkSafe B.C. and the B.C. Coroners Service to determine what caused the lift to collapse. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

the fires were not deemed suspicious. It appeared a cigarette butt was the source of the main fire, Marshall said, while the others were caused by embers blowing in the breeze caused by cars driving past on the TCH. The morning began with a call for the Metchosin Fire Department, who were called just before 5 a.m. about what was determined to be a “human-caused” brush fire in the 4700-block of East Sooke Road. Firefighters needed half an hour to contain the approximately 200-by250-foot blaze on steep terrain. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Community space part of new schools’ focus

Belmont, Royal Bay will be embraced by greater West Shore community Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

A novel concept for the new Belmont and Royal Bay schools includes space dedicated for community use that will see the schools get more use throughout the year. The provincial government has included about 15 per cent

of space in all new schools constructed during the past few years for community use, said Sooke School District Superintendent Jim Cambridge. The new Belmont school will include a day care, two rooms for Camosun College programs and rooms for Island Health use, Cambridge noted. Both schools will also include space for West Shore Parks and Recreation. Linda Barnes, chief administrative officer for the recreation body, said they worked closely with community organizations to utilize the space in the best way to provide programs tar-

West Shore RCMP deemed speed to be a factor in the crash and said a driver swerved to avoid a dog and hit a parked car. The driver was taken to hospital as a precaution. RCMP confirmed that alcohol was not involved in the crash. “There was no dog, I guarantee you that,” Parson said. The City plans to close Goldstream Avenue access to the TCH once the Leigh Road interchange project has been completed. That project also saw the closure of the Spencer Road access earlier in the summer. Victor Chen of Langford’s engineering department expects the area to close to highway traffic in March or April of next year. “When we close the highway access that’s the ultimate solution,” said Chen. He said once the access is closed it should be “basically residential traffic only, so that should slow it down.” Parson admits this will help reduce the number of speeding vehicles, but she wants something done in the meantime. “It’s just a dangerous situation,” she said. “There’s no sidewalks, it’s single-lane traffic.” She wants to see work done to improve the overall road, add

While the City has no improvement plans for this year, Chen said there is a plan to add a few improvements to the area once the TCH access has been closed.

said street lights will be installed in the area, but the road is not designated for sidewalks. Chen said to his recollection, the City installed the no parking signs on the north side because there was not enough room for cars to safely park on that side of the street and vehicles were actually encroaching onto the roadway. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

BERWICK HOUSE Presents

MUSIC IN THE GARDEN

Wednesday, August 26th at 6:30pm “The Klez” Join us for some great music and refreshments. Seats are limited. CALL GAIL OR LINDA: 250-721-4062 TO RESERVE YOUR SEAT Please RSVP by August 15th Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Summer sounds, splashes continue Russ Godfrey (centre) lays down some licks with his band Rusty and the Roosters at the Music in the Park concert at Veteran’s Memorial Park on Sunday. The weekly music series enjoyed perfect weather on a day when many of the area’s younger residents chose to cool off at the nearby water park. There’s two more instalments of Music in the Park, with Chickwagon performing Aug. 23 and The Kingmixers on Aug. 30. The concerts run from 2 to 4 p.m., with the Langford Legion Auxiliary concession volunteers serving up their famous hot dogs to raise funds for local veterans’ programs.

Colwood preps for worst-case scenarios

Training being offered for city staffers on disaster response Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

You can never be too prepared. The City of Colwood will receive training for staff and volunteers from the Justice Institute of B.C. on incident command training. The course for members of the Colwood Fire Department, Westshore Emergency Support Services and Colwood public works staff was made available through a B.C. Hydro Community Safety Award. Hydro makes

the awards available to communities to prepare for disasters such as floods, earthquakes and the wildfires currently raging across parts of the province. Colwood Coun. Gordie Logan said the training is good news, following on the heels of the recent donation of two defibrillators from the B.C. Heart and Stroke Foundation. “It speaks to the City’s commitment to provide emergency services and management in the event of a disaster,”

Water pump project will boost capacity A new pump station under construction in Colwood aims to ensure the supply of potable water keeps pace with development. The Capital Regional District is constructing the Veterans Memorial Parkway pump station to meet the growing demand for potable water brought on by developments such as Royal Bay and Olympic View. The new station, being built between Allandale and Cairndale roads, will also replace the aging Fulton and Cairndale pump stations. The cost of the project, which began at the end of June, is about $1.5 million, according to the CRD’s website. The work is scheduled to be completed by the end of December 2016. news@goldstreamgazette.com

Logan said. “It’s a great investment and gives our staff and volunteers the tools to manage these situations.” Logan, who took a similar course several years ago when he served as chair of Colwood’s protective services committee, said it

was “very helpful and informative.” The B.C. Hydro Community Safety Award provides up to $2,000 to eligible communities in B.C. by supporting the training of first responders, employees and volunteers. news@goldstream gazette.com

OUR VIEW

New schools community gems A recent reminder that the West Shore’s two new high schools will be used in off hours and months by the greater community came as positive news. It’s a sign that the construction of the facilities will benefit more than just the students who attend them. With the new Belmont and Royal Bay secondaries due to host youth-focused programs organized by West Shore Parks and Recreation, for example, and be used by community sports, cultural and educational groups, connections will be created that will strengthen the West Shore as a whole. After all, the more you engage the community in a school, the more the school becomes engaged in the community, a scenario that can have a ripple effect down the road. Not only will the community use allow for more people to be exposed to what the schools have to offer and the type of programs in which students are involved, it’s a good investment in security for these sparkling new facilities. By having more people in and around the buildings in the evenings, on weekends and through the summer months, the incidence of vandalism will likely be lowered. The hope is that the community – students and otherwise – will take pride in what is being created with West Shore residents and families in mind and help ward off those who might look to cause damage. While inviting the community to share in the new facilities is not an idea developed by the Sooke School District – the province mandated a few years back that all new schools dedicate approximately 15 per cent of space and usage time for community use – SD62 has embraced the concept and worked with outside agencies to facilitate such use. Both Belmont and Royal Bay are shining examples of what can be accomplished when school designers put their heads together and determine the best learning environment for current and future students. We look forward to the days ahead when other members of the community get a chance to see up close what all the excitement is about. What do you think?

2009 economic crisis, offering a 15 per cent tax credit for home improvements between $1,000 and $5,000. This sounds great if you’re a homeowner, but does nothing for renters, drives up the cost of housing in already overpriced urban markets and encourages more consumer debt. Trudeau has promised an additional $2.6 billion over four years for First Nations education on reserves, and accelerated spending on school infrastructure. Mulcair has promised to hold a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women. Mulcair and Trudeau both pledge to reverse the Conservative moves to eliminate what’s left of door-to-door mail delivery, and to extend the age of eligibility for the Old Age Security pension from 65 to 67. All of these promises are presented in the most appealing way possible by the parties that promote them, and all involve spending and taxation trade-offs that the parties would prefer not to discuss. Another possible dividend from a formal campaign stretching more than two months is that more voters will pay attention to the real issues and actually take the time to cast a ballot. If that happens, and the long decline in voter turnout is reversed, it’s a good investment. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

In the matter of the firings by the Ministry of Health, the purported reason for sending the inquiry to the Ombudsperson, Jay Chalke, is to save taxpayers money. The independent inquiry requested by those wrongfully dismissed, and the majority of taxpayers is deemed too expensive. The latest debacle at the Ministry of Children and Family Development saw the province disregard the cost-saving option that would see Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond lead the inquiry in favour of spending more taxpayer money by appointing Bob Plecas. After all, Ms. TurpelLafond is already on the government payroll. The irony of this inconsistent policy is further exacerbated by the government’s longstanding argument when justifying outrageous compensation packages awarded to senior bureaucrats, that we have to pay to get the best result. In both instances, we the taxpayers are being short-changed because Mr. Chalke does not have the power afforded a fully independent board of inquiry and the scope of Mr. Placas’ inquiry is severely curtailed. Can there be any doubt that these decisions have been made to protect the future political lives of some very senior elected individuals? It is too bad that these same protective considerations were not afforded to those whose lives have been forever impacted and particularly Mr. MacIsaac and all the children who are no longer with us. For shame! Dave Fowler Saanich

Re: Summer heat taking its toll on landscaping (Homefinder, Aug. 14) The article says homeowners don’t realize we’re not in extreme watering restrictions. But it’s not “watering misconceptions” that is taking the toll on landscaping. My July water bill, despite letting most of my mature shrubs, hedges and flower beds die as well as giving up on watering my lawns, was half of what I budget for gasoline. Wrap your head around that. Watering restrictions don’t play a part in the death of most of my landscaping. I simply can’t afford to water it – so I won’t be replacing it. Many homeowners are in the same boat.

Rebels rip Huskers for first win

Solid start for ’Rocks in WLA final Outcome of game 3 tonight will be critical Heading into the Western Lacrosse Association final series against New Westminster, Bob Heyes tossed out a not-so-veiled challenge to his players. The Victoria Shamrocks head coach said if his talented team gets outworked by the gritty Salmonbellies that the bestof-seven affair would be an uphill battle. The work ethic that catapulted the Shamrocks from an 0-2 start to another regular season title was in full view last Friday, as the boys in green and white literally dismantled the visitors in game 1 with an 11-3 win at The Q Centre. That never-quit ethos will no doubt be on display again when the teams return to Colwood for game 3 (start time 7:45 p.m.). Game 2 was scheduled for Monday night at Queen’s Park Arena, after the Gazette’s print deadline. The Shamrocks made a statement quickly to start the opener, when Corey Small scored the first of his four goals on the night just 24 seconds in. He would add three more, including two in the

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Shamrocks’ Daryl Veltman, left, is congratulated after he scored by teammates Corey Small (15) and Rhys Duch. The trio combined for 10 of the team’s 11 goals in an 11-3 first game win over New West in the WLA final. first 1:25 of the second period to give his team a 6-1 lead. With Aaron Bold standing tall in the Shamrocks net and turning aside virtually every shot the ‘Bellies fired at him – his 41 saves included several clear-cut breakaways – Victoria never really let the game get in jeopardy. Leading scorer Logan Schuss responded to Small’s first goal with one of his own 2:46 in, but that was the closest New West could get. It was 5-1 Shamrocks after one and 7-3 after two. Small finished with eight points on the night, while fellow sniper Rhys Duch notched four goals of his own to go with three helpers. Also scoring in the win were Daryl Veltman, with two, and captain Scott Ranger with a single.

Big (six-foot-five) attacker Dan Dawson was a force on the edge for the Shamrocks, often drawing two defenders and allowing his teammates to get good position. He wound up with four assists. Keegan Bal scored twice for the ‘Bellies, once on the power play and another shorthanded, but his goals were spaced apart in the second period and barely interrupted the Shamrocks’ flow. New West goalie Jason Penney was lifted for backup Alexis Buque midway through the third, after stopping 33 of 43 shots. Duch stormed through 31 seconds later and greeted Buque with a nifty goal low on the latter’s first shot, but he saved everything from there. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered. Notice of Meeting to Consider 2014 Annual Report Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Dr. Amanda Tawadros, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, and Dr. Chris Snow

Can glasses weaken my eyes? There is a common misconception that wearing corrective lenses weakens the eye and helps speed the deterioration of eyesight. There is absolutely no scientific basic for this. Studies have shown no difference in the course of a person’s eyesight with or without glasses. Sometimes it may seem as if the glasses make eyesight weaker. Uncorrected vision may appear worse than it did before glasses. This is because vision seems much less clear without glasses after enjoying the clear vision that they provide. We should not blame glasses for making vision worse as we age. Almost everyone develops the need for reading correction between the age of 39 and 45. This is because the focusing lens inside the eyes becomes less flexible and glasses are required to allow us to read comfortably. Straining your eyes and trying to force them to see without glasses will not in any way strengthen them. Actually the best way to keep eyesight at its best at any age is to get regular professional eyecare. Postponement or procrastination jeopardizes comfort, efficiency and even one’s safety.

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN, pursuant to Section 98 of the Community Charter, that the 2014 Annual Report will be considered at the following Council Meeting: Tuesday, September 8th, 2015 @ 7:00pm City Hall Council Chambers 3rd floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue Langford, BC V9B 2X8 The public may ask questions or make submissions at this meeting. Copies of the 2014 Annual Report will be posted on www.cityoflangford.ca and may be inspected at the Municipal Hall during normal business hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday to Friday (excluding statutory holidays). Further inquiries may be directed to the Administrator at 250-478-7882.

The Westshore Rebels snapped their winless streak Saturday, beating the Valley Huskers 45-14 in convincing style in the teams’ B.C. Football Conference game at Westhills Stadium. The Rebels look to continue their momentum when they head to Langley to take on the 2-2 Rams this Saturday afternoon. Last weekend’s contest was a battle between winless teams, with both squads sitting at 0-3. While the Rebels, who have strung together some impressive offensive bursts this month, didn’t look that different on paper than the Huskers, they showed how much better they were on the field. Ashton Mackinnon continued to show improvement at quarterback in his third mostly full game, connecting on 29 of 38 passes for about 470 yards and finding the end zone three times in the air. He hit Joe Barkhouse for TD strikes of six and 10 yards, and connected with converted QB Hunter Lake for a 20-yarder early on. Mackinnon, whose athletic abilities and scrambling skill reminds one of Lake, also ran in for TDs of one and six yards. Backup QB Talyn Davies, who started at receiver and made seven catches, spelled off Mackinnon and connected on three of five pass attempts for 72 yards. He also ran in for one touchdown. Westshore sacked Valley QBs six times on the day, three of which came from defensive lineman James Bradley. He also forced and recovered a fumble, while other sacks were recorded by Dusean Leblanc, Peter Allan and Jorge Yarwood. Moving the chains … Mackinnon’s 29 completions actually tied the BCFC record for one game with the mark set by Jordan Yantz of the Vancouver Island Raiders in 2010. The Rebels also set a new team record with 542 yards passing, eclipsing the old mark of 502 set in 2007. Kamloops QB Stephen Schuweiler shattered the completions record later in the day, however, connecting on 38 passes in a 35-26 loss to the Raiders. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

CAR CARE

Looking after your car doesn’t just extend its life – it also feeds your pocket. If your car is well maintained and shows signs of routine maintenance and a history of regular services, not only will your car last longer, your trade-in or resale value will go up as well. Always check for leaks always make sure your put aside some money to maintain your vehicle even when it’s brand new. Check your Manufacturer’s Recommendations - It is important to use oil that stays within the recommended guidelines of your vehicle’s manufacturer. Choosing oil that does not fit the parameters recommended by your car’s manufacturer could void your warranty. This is very important! Replace oil and filter regularly Without oil, your car would produce excessive heat, heat causes friction, and friction produces wear. Wear is enemy number one to your engine. The oil filter cleans dirt and particles from the oil that may cause damage. An easy way to remember to change your oil filter is to replace it at every oil change which is recommended! Check Brake, Power steering fluid and Clutch Fluid Always make sure these fluids are at their correct levels. Check Air Filter and Cabin Air Filter Air Filter is very important. Every internal combustion engine requires a mixture of fuel and air to operate properly. It costs a lot less to replace a dirty air filter regularly,

than it does to replace the parts of the engine it protects. The cabin Air Filtration System filters millions of microscopic particles such as dust, pollen and spores from outside air, which enters the vehicle through the heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Check Rad Cap, Coolant (Antifreeze) While radiator caps look simple and do not cost much, they are critical for a properly Operating cooling system. A faulty cap can result in overheating, loss of coolant or major engine damage. Coolant, or antifreeze, is generally a half-and-half mixture of a form of glycol and water. Like any other engine fluid, the coolant needs to be checked on a regular basis. Never open your rad cap when engine is hot! Check transmission fluid Make sure that the transmission fluid is always at a good level and is changed periodically to make sure your car can shift smoothly and keep you in control of the car at all times. Automatic Transmission recommended every 2 years or at 48,000 km intervals / Manual Transmission recommended 30,000 to 35,000 km intervals. Check Wiper Blades and Windshield Washer Fluid Maintaining wiper blades regularly can maximize visibility, efficiency and reliability and Keeps the Windshield in Good Condition. Make sure there’s a sufficient amount of washer fluid in the tank. Fuel Filter and Fuel System cleaner Most new cars don’t come with fuel filters. There is a screen (sock) on the fuel pump

pick-up, in the tank. Unless you have some really dirty gas, the screen should never get clogged up. Most manufacture has decided that anything small enough to go through the screen, can be burned, along with the fuel with no adverse effects. Consult with your mechanic, oil change shop or dealership to see if your car is equipped with fuel filter. Fuel System Cleaning Service removes harmful deposits from compression chambers and fuel systems, resulting in cleaner more efficient vehicle operation. Fuel System Cleaning Service restores power and

performance to your vehicle, while reducing harmful emissions and improving fuel economy. Fuel Filters are recommended once a year or every 20,000 km and Fuel System Cleaning are recommended every 25,000 km. Check Front Differential, Transfer Case and Rear Differential fluids levels Have your differential and transfer case checked by your nearest oil change, mechanic or dealership every 30,000 km to 35,000 km at least. Having these parts serviced with new gear oil requires only a small fraction of the cost of rebuilding or replacing a differential.

Many different factors come into play when it comes to building a successful sports franchise. In Greater Victoria, winning has been a

major factor in getting fans out, but even that hasn’t always ensured success at the box office, as the B.C. Hockey League’s Victoria Grizzlies can attest. Rare is the scenario of late that a team with a modest record draws lots of fans, but this year’s edition of the Victoria HarbourCats was a good example. That’s part of the reason why the Grizzlies have tagged ‘Cats general manager and co-owner

“We need to get the Grizzlies back in the forefront of the sporting community in Victoria,” said Grizzlies president John Wilson. “We need to get more bums in seats and more corporate sponsorship … Those are two areas Jim is going to work hard on to try and improve.” Wilson, also part owner of the HarbourCats, calls Swanson a “good fit with my business style,” adding he was “thoroughly impressed” with the job Swanson did this year with the baseball team. Not only did the club lead the 12-team West Coast League in attendance for a second straight season with an average of 1,910 fans per game, Royal Athletic Park was the place to be on a warm summer evening or afternoon. While they were effectively the only game in town, unlike the Grizzlies in the shadow of the Western Hockey League’s Victoria Royals, it’s that type of atmosphere Swanson hopes to help create for the Grizzlies. He served as an advisor last season and sees positive things happening for the team, such as players becoming more involved in the community and partnerships being built with various sports groups and businesses. Also important for retaining fans and boosting their relevance here has been their ability to remain competitive

in the BCHL, he said, giving kudos to head coach/GM Craig Didmon and his staff. “This is such a fastgrowing community and I think teams like the Grizzlies can be a rallying point with the West Shore community and some of its passions,” said Swanson, who worked for various B.C. newspapers before moving to town a couple of years ago. “I think that West Shore community attachment is something that could be grown.” While the Grizzlies draw fans from around the Capital Region, it’s safe to say the majority live within a 10 to 15-minute drive of The Q Centre in Colwood, where parking is free and ticket prices reasonable. “It’s probably the greatest area of growth potential,” Swanson said, in terms of both corporate partnerships and fan base. “Things like making sure the Juan de Fuca hockey program is very much involved, and maybe partnering with Westhills Arena. The Grizzlies have the product to create the atmosphere and more people in the building (enhances) that atmosphere.” With training camp for the 2015-16 season happening this weekend, Swanson expected to use this week “doing homework,” reading up on the players coming to town and learning more about the various facets of the operation. editor@goldstream gazette.com

On Saturday, Roseburg, Ore. native Andy Alberding won a race to the line in the 40-lap Wilroc winged sprint car main event, outgunning a pack of four drivers that included Matt Hein, Ron Larson, Darren Yates and Jeff Montgomery, in order. Robbie Price won the night before’s 30-lap main, beating out Hein, Alberding and Chris Schmelzie, in that order. In the Wilroc Lites non-wing sprint car class, Dave Emmerson took the checkered flag in Saturday’s 30-lap feature race by a whisker ahead of Guy Barrett, with Mike Haslam hot on their heels in third. Stewart Lee wound up fourth. Haslam took the Friday night main ahead of Barrett, Emmerson and Ryan Orchard. The Old Time Racers and dwarf car divisions also raced over the weekend.

Who’s that mysterious BMX freestyle rider?
