Three weekend crashes close the Malahat One dead, 10 sent to hospital Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Emergency crews were working around the clock as multiple serious motor vehicle crashes, including the death of a motorcyclist, caused the Malahat portion of the Trans Canada Highway to be closed for a combined total of roughly 13 hours and sent 10 people to hospital over the weekend. “We’re starting to get our fall rain and people need to adjust their driving habits,” said West Shore RCMP spokesman Const. Alex Berube. He said every year the RCMP needs to remind drivers to slow down in bad weather and focus on the road. RCMP usually see a slight increase in accidents this time of year he said, adding some years they have to remind drivers to slow down more often than other years. While the weather may not have been a factor in all of the crashes on the weekend, speed is believed to have played a part in all. Just before 9 a.m. on Saturday (Aug. 29), West Shore RCMP were called to a two vehicle accident on the Trans Canada Highway near Goldstream Park. Two passenger cars, a southbound Honda Accord and a northbound Volkswagen sedan, both carrying two passengers each, collided. All four passengers were

taken to hospital with varying degrees of injury. An RCMP traffic analyst was called to examine the scene due to the potential seriousness of the injuries and completed a thorough examination. The highway reopened at around 1 p.m. Investigators are examining the possibility that alcohol and driving pattern on the part of the driver of the southbound Honda may have been factors in the crash. A criminal investigation is underway. BC Ambulance Service and fire crews were also in attendance. Sunday morning (Aug. 30) also started off with delays and closures on the Trans Canada Highway. RCMP were called to the 3500block for a single vehicle crash at around 5:30 a.m. The driver of a Volkswagen Golf lost control and the vehicle left the roadway. Besides the driver, there were two other female passengers in the vehicle, all of them were teenagers. They suffered varying degrees of injury and were transported to hospital. One of the passengers suffered from more serious injuries but they are not believed to be life threatening. An analyst from the RCMP traffic services arrived on scene just before 7 a.m. and the highway was closed for about four hours. A full investigation is underway due to the injuries sustained by the passenger and the possibility of speed playing a factor in the crash. RCMP said that the roadway was

wet but weren’t sure if it was raining at the time of the crash. West Store RCMP were dispatched to another two vehicle collision just after 8 p.m. on Sunday in the 4200-block of the Trans Canada Highway, just north of Aspen Road. According to RCMP, a blue Suzuki motorcycle traveling northbound crossed the centre line and collided head on with a southbound GMC Sierra, which was pulling a 30-foot trailer. The 40-yearold driver of the motorcycle was pronounced dead at the scene. The three occupants of the truck were transported to hospital to be assessed for unknown injuries. The identity of the motorcyclist had not been released at the time of the ***Gazette’s press deadline. The highway was closed in both directions and was reopened at approximately 1 a.m. Monday. An RCMP traffic analyst and BC Coroners Service continue to investigate the crash. According to RCMP, preliminary evidence recovered at the scene suggested that speed was a factor in the crash. Shawnigan Lake RCMP assisted at the scene and Victim Services has been assisting the people Katherine Engqvist photo involved with this crash.

Musical talent puts roots down Fling Fun Sunday, Sept. 13

Juno award winner headlines this year’s Highlands Fling

Headlining Sunday’s Highlands Fling is none other than Juno-award-winning Stephen Fearing, who recently moved to the Island. “This is an accomplished, accomplished musician, we’re really excited to have him,” said Scott Richardson, chair of the Highlands District Community Association, which organizes the Fling. While Fearing’s performance will be one you won’t want to miss, it’s not the only event planned for the Caleb Pike Homestead, 1589 Millstream Rd., from 12 to 5 p.m., Sept. 13. The lineup for the afternoon is packed full of entertainment and activities with plenty of fun in store for kids of all ages. Aside from Fearing, the music lineup includes an up-and-coming R&B trio as well as the award-winning children’s act Music with Marnie. “She’s going to be very engaging with the kids,” Richardson said. Back by popular demand, is what Richardson affectionately referred to as “Flingo.” Flingo, is the festival’s version of music bingo. Contestants are given bingo cards and have to match songs being played with squares on their cards. “As soon as you get a row or column you yell ‘flingo,’ “ he said. As well as music, a number of other activities are planned, ranging from the traditional tug-o-war game to children’s races to a display of a Highlands Fire Department truck. A number of mini presentations will also be held throughout the day, with topics such as indigenous trees and birds, honey-bee collecting and astronomy. There will even be telescopes outfitted with the proper filtration systems to allow the public to see sunspots. Another popular activity Richardson said is returning for this year’s event is the healing house. For a donation, reiki and massage practitioners will offer demonstrations of their services. The Fling will also mark the grand opening of the Highlands Museum at the Caleb Pike Homestead, which showcases not only the history of the homestead but the entire area. “There’s a lot of history up here and it will be a place to connect with that,” he said. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Stephen Fearing packed up his belongings earlier this summer in Halifax, N.S., put them into a 20-foot U-Haul and traded East Coast for West Coast. “I actually drove the family car across the country,” said the Juno award winning artist, with a laugh. “I got to do some playing as well but mostly I drove.” Fearing, who is no stranger to flying back and forth across the country for work, relished in the chance to literally drive coast to coast. The journey reminded him of what a vast country Canada is. After the drive, Fearing, his wife and their 10-year-old daughter planted roots in Victoria by buying a 1911 character home complete with shuttered windows. “It’s a big, old beautiful house… But it needs some bringing back to make it a family home,” he said. Fearing, born in Vancouver before moving to Ireland and then returning back to Vancouver after finishing school, said the move to the Island was sparked by a number of things. Mostly because of all of the family the couple has in the province. His enthusiasm about the area was hard to contain when asked what he likes

has really pushed artists to be self-motivated and do a lot of self-promoting, which Vancouver Island and the surrounding Gulf Islands really allow an artist to do. He is especially excited about the number of venues the area has. “I’m very much looking forward to plugging into more local work out here.” He cherishes the opportunity to preform at so many differ-

ent venues and still be home that same night with his family. One of Fearing’s first gigs in the area is the Highlands Fling on Sept. 13 at the Caleb Pike Homestead, 1589 Millstream Rd, from noon till 5 p.m. “It’s something I haven’t done before so it’ll be a challenge.” But Fearing is revved up about that challenge and likes to try to captivate and surprise

new audiences with his music. “When it’s you, your guitar, and your song those three elements have to be really strong.” Fearing doesn’t like to categorize his work

ferent influences and helping him sound believable when delving into different

genres. For the Fling, he plans on playing some originals, some songs he’s written for other artists, and maybe even a cover or two. “I love performing, that was my start, songwriting came later,” he said. “Somewhere between being an artist and an entertainer is where I want to be.” After performing at the Highlands Fling and several shows in Ontario, Fearing hopes to spend a few weeks working on more house renovations so the family can finally move into their new home. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Born and raised on the Prairies, Shari Lukens, grew up in the wheat fields of Alberta. When she wasn’t working the golden fields on the family’s grain farm, she spent her time carving her own path on the ice. She even landed a spot at the prestigious Mariposa School of Skating. “My goal was to be world champion and that’s what I was training for,” Lukens said. But at 16, her skating dreams were ended by a drunk driver. While she could no longer compete professionally, her passion led her to coaching, and eventually Denmark, where she not only taught other skaters but was also asked to teach power skating to the Danish men’s national hockey team. “The CanadianDanish Hockey team I used to call them.” She laughed, at the time their roster including a large number of other Canadians. After returning to Canada, Lukens shifted careers, while continuing to teach skating on the side, her focus was now in broadcast journalism. “I’d always wanted to do broadcasting,” she said. After training in B.C. her career led her across the province and back to the Prairies. It was while working on an award winning documentary that

Shari Lukens is running as a Conservative candidate in the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding for the Oct. 19 federal election. Lukens was set up on a blind date with the man that would eventually become her husband. “We were married eight months to the day later,” she said. The couple lived on the mainland for a while but in 2005, they could no longer resist the draw of the Island. Her husband was originally from the Duncan area, so the Cowichan Valley seemed like a perfect fit. “We were avid fishermen so it was fabulous.” But their Island life together was shortlived. In 2006, Lukens’ husband was killed in a

helicopter crash. “It really takes the wind out of your sails,” she sighed. Her father had been a pilot and she knew the risks of the profession, they had even talked about it being a possibility but she said you never imagine something like that ever happening. It was a dark time, one that was made worse by court proceedings five years later. Although she did not initiate them, she was still forced to go through the discovery process and relive those horrific events. It pushed her into a deep place and she was diag-

TOWN OF VIEW ROYAL NOTICE OF DISPOSITION OF LAND BY SALE In compliance with section 26 of the Community Charter, the Council of the Town of View Royal gives notice of its intention to sell its fee simple interest in 280 Island Highway in perpetuity.

nosed with PDST. She attributes her ability to move forward to her support team and network. And at the time the Conservative party was bringing in a victim’s rights bill, which really resonated with her. “In my heart I knew what he wanted.” So in 2009, “I decided I needed to take care of Shari,” she said. In August of that year she moved to Colwood, a place that had years before left her awestruck by its beauty. She had told herself that “If I ever get the opportunity to move down here I would.” That love of the West Shore drew her into the area and she became highly engaged in its communities, eventually running for Colwood City council in 2011 and serving until 2014. But tragedy struck again and just as she was preparing to run for another term her mother was diagnosed with cancer. She was forced to make what she refers to as a “life choice” and not knowing what kind of treatment her mother would need, she decided not to run. She said she didn’t want any absences caused by her taking care of her mother in Alberta to force a by-election and cost tax payers more money. Now, she is onto what she calls “plan B” and has put her travel plans on hold with the hopes of representing her electoral riding in Ottawa. When she’s not out campaigning she’s at home with her 11-yearold English springer spaniel named Maestro. “He’s Mr. Personality,” she said of her beloved dog, who originally belonged to her husband and is her “last real connection” with him. While she doesn’t get out on the ice as much as she’d like to in more recent years she still holds onto her skates. She said getting out on the ice, “that’s where I really feel freedom and passion.” She said skating has taught her to get back up when you fall. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Canada Post and the residents of the West Shore are talking. The lines of communication between Canada Post and several communities on Vancouver Island including the West Shore are already in full swing as the finalization of locations for the forthcoming community mailboxes continues. View Royal mayor David Screech said the citizens of his community, who have been selected as one of the first for the change over, have been letting their voices be heard. “We have had concerns from residents regarding placement and locations with them and our staff are working hard with Canada Post to try to resolve those,” Screech said. “Parking, visibility and safety have been big issues brought forward. We have had concerns from residents who have been notified by Canada Post... hopefully they will get (resolved).” Canada Post has the

final authority on locations and Screech said he has heard of potential locations across View Royal including one close to 62 View Royal Avenue and the other on Prince Robert Drive and the Island Highway. Canada Post communications state the first areas to be affected have been chosen based on neighbourhoods “near or similar to communities” where they have been delivering to community mailboxes for many years. “Canada Post has the authority to place them where they want to, but having said that they have committed to working with the jurisdiction to help

resolve issues and concerns,” Screech said. “My understanding is they’ve been good and respectful in working with our staff and I hope that continues.” He said even his own house will eventually have one as well and he has reservations about implementation for his Burnside Street home, including uncertainty on where it would be safe to pull over and collect mail, especially with little in the way of street lights in his area. He has not yet been informed of where his neighbourhood’s will be going. “I would encourage residents if they have concerns to bring them forward,” Screech con-

tinued. “It is important for us to hear what the concerns are, and if they do the town will endeavour to work with Canada Post to address (them).” Canada Post’s Anick Losier said the conversion initiative on Vancouver Island began with Victoria, Langford, Colwood, Saanich, Esquimalt, View Royal, Songhees 1A, Sidney, North Saanich and Campbell River. She said communications started with an online survey for residents to provide preferences and concerns. “From there, we planned sites and worked with city officials to finalize the location,” Losier said.

OUR VIEW

Much needed rain is in order It may appear that the winter rains are upon us. But, it’s not winter although it is almost the end of summer. All summer long we have been basking in the sunshine, heading to the campgrounds and onto the water. Along with this blissfully sunny summer there comes a huge price tag. The province has spent countless millions on fighting fires, many of them human-caused. Not to forget the human cost through the loss of homes and animals. It is heart-breaking to hear the losses suffered by so many because of the actions of a few. No matter how many times you tell people to butt out safely, they don’t. Perhaps now with the rains, the fires will die down and the firefighters will get some respite. The rains are something to be appreciated right now, and the sun will come out again and give us a spectacular autumn. It is expected to be rainy for the next while with some sun predicted. We are thankful for the rain, the trees and plants seem to be drinking in the moisture and the creeks and waterways are seeing some relief from the summer-long drought. And drought it has been. We hope this is not a sign of things to come, but some say it is. The last thing we want is to be in a position like California is now. We need to be mindful of our water usage whether it is raining or not. It seems we cannot count on the snow pack as we have in years past because this dry climate may become the norm rather than the rare. The wet coast isn’t so wet these days. The weekend before school begins is supposed to be sunny with temperatures in the 20s. It is usually a time when families go camping and travelling on the last long weekend of the summer. The campfire bans have been lifted in most areas, but caution is still required. Let’s enjoy these days whether it is raining or not, because both sun and rain are needed. Be careful on the highways and bring everyone back safe.

The five Prudhoe Bay oilfields have been declining in production for 20 years, to the point where the TransAlaska pipeline now carries about a quarter of its design capacity. It’s expected to run out around 2040, but for now Valdez still loads more than a tanker a day. Waldman writes that when North America’s largest oilfield was discovered in 1968, companies first considered extending the Alaska Railroad up to Deadhorse. But they would have needed 63 trains a day of 100 cars each. Trucks, cargo planes and even nuclear-powered submarines running under the Arctic ice were briefly considered. Since we had a bit of hand-wringing last week about a small earthquake near Fort Nelson that may or may not have been triggered by hydraulic fracturing, it’s worth noting that Trans-Alaska oil also causes noticeable tremors as it rushes down the Chugach Mountains to a sudden stop at Valdez. But those are American earthquakes, so no story there. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@ blackpress.ca

Metchosin council opts to destroy Spellman Mental health Park care is crucial In June of this year Metchosin municipal council quietly passed bylaw 620 to remove park status from Spellman Park, with the ultimate goal of selling the land for two residential lots. Council claims that they will put the proceeds into a fund for an as yet unidentified future parkland purchase. They have done this by using the controversial “Alternative Approval Process”, a method where residents have to mount a campaign to prevent an action, rather than seeking citizen’s approval first. This was done during the quiet summer months when there is a gap in the local newspaper distribution during July and August, and while many residents are away on vacation. The Alternative Approval Process requires that 10% of eligible voters of Metchosin sign an “Elector Response Form” and that these be submitted to Municipal Hall by September 4 of this year ? either by mail or in person. Electronic submissions are not accepted. So far more than 260 such forms have been filled out toward the required 377, despite almost no one knowing that this is occurring. To date every resident as well as non-resident of Metchosin has been shocked at the very concept of destruction of any park, much less one that was donated for that sole purpose in the 1970s. The park in question, at the corner of Lindholm Road and Spellman Place, is about 4.5 acres in size and is contiguous with Blinkhorn Nature Park. Together they form about 50 acres of natural area and wildlife corridor, vital for protection of many species and their habitats. Part of Spellman Park is a seasonal wetland, and home to a population of salamanders as well as many other wildlife species. For detailed information please contact long-time Metchosin resident and wellknown biologist Dr. Anna Hall. savespell-

You are right, we need to remove the stigma and have access to mental health care, as the tragic events at the Millstream/TransCanada Highway overpass prove. But it needs to be effective mental health care. It’s possible the person who felt they needed to end their life had received counselling, but like many of us had not found it to be effective. One therapy has been proven to be effective with up to 80 per cent of clients with severe mental trauma, with permanent and lasting results obtained in only three sessions. But many counsellors aren’t aware of it. Even non-life-threatening events such as divorce and unemployment can generate PTSD symptoms in people. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), developed in the 1980s, is the number one treatment proven effective for helping heal mental trauma. It’s recommended by the APA and the World Health Organization for treating trauma, after decades of careful scientific studies. I wish that the person who had felt they had no other choice but to end their life had

received effective mental health care and support. Hopefully their death may help other people who are suffering find out that there are effective options. If any of the first responders who witnessed that event would like to discuss how EMDR might help them, please send them my information. It would be my privilege to do a complimentary session for them to process the trauma from this event. Thank you for bringing community awareness to this crucially important topic.

Vehicles should be taken away

There have been countless incidents on our roads that have produced frightening experiences and/or led to collisions. There have been countless advertisements and warnings in all forms of media. These warnings on TV are just treated by a lot of people like another beer commercial, it’s just on until their show returns, or skipped over in the newspapers. Some people with bad/aggressive driving habits are probably in self denial and blame their outbursts on other drivers. Driving fines, even if raised, will not lessen bad attitudes.

after the crime has been commited, so that doesn’t work. As children, when you did something you were told not to do with your bike, it was taken away for a period. Gee, no bike for a month! Bingo, no bike incidents for a month. Therefore, if drivers cannot behave on public roads, and get caught, I say take the vehicle away for a month, plus suspend the guilty person for the same period so they cannot use another vehicle. Should they then be found driving during that period, it’s off to the crowbar hotel, ie: go to your room, you’re grounded. With cell phones now equipped with video capability and dash cams becoming popular, maybe more innocent drivers who are abused by those who need an attitude adjustment, will capture their harrowing experiences and send them to police websites. The police could then follow up with a visit to the perpetrators home to see if they need a ‘time out.’

This problem will only get worse if a solution is not forthcoming. Ken Levert Langford

Some ideas just won’t work Forcing a mix of residential and retail space failed in Seattle. Unless there are many retail businesses in an area, most people will have to go to a shopping area anyway. I don’t see Wale Road being a good location, as parking and access are awkward. The very small shopping areas in View Royal east of Helmcken seem to be another failure, given store turnover. One use that sounds attractive is medical offices, provided there’s critical mass. And Lloyd Wansbrough should talk to his grandparents about mixing residential and retail. Vancouver used to have many corner stores, whose proprietors lived behind or above the store. One of those was in southwest Saanich for 80 years –

Brookman’s store. But political control freaks were against that for decades. BTW, as far as a cafe near the Goose Trail, there’s probably a modest market for that and even some overnight accommodation

(something lacking in View Royal anyway). But the notion of the fool mayor of Esquimalt that bicyclists would stop and buy paintings along trails was bizarre. Keith Sketchley Saanich

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

The City of Langford intends to make an application to the Provincial Agriculture Land Commission to remove lands as shown on the map below from the Agriculture Land Reserve. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Proposal will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Proposal at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Tuesday, September 8 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. Location: The lands that are the subject of the block application are as shown shaded on the plan. The intent of the application is to implement the South Langford Agricultural Plan by excluding from the Agricultural Land Reserve those lands with low agricultural capability, small size or other factors which limit their use for agriculture. The City of Langford intends to provide agricultural infrastructure support to those lands remaining in the Agricultural Land Reserve as outlined in the Langford Agricultural Plan and the Ofﬁcial Community Plan. Because of the large number of parcels involved, a Block Exclusion Application by the City of Langford was deemed the most efﬁcient way to implement the Plan. COPIES of the complete proposed Proposal and other material that the Council may consider in relation to the Proposal may be viewed from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (holidays excluded), from Monday, August 24 2015 to Tuesday, September 8 2015, inclusive, at Langford City Hall, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, V9B 2X8. Please contact Matthew Baldwin, Director of Planning in the Planning Department at 250-478-7882 with any questions on this Proposal. Jim Bowden Administrator

Woman with Horns more than just entertainment Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Life isn’t always full of elaborate sets, beautiful music and audience fanfare. Terry Rowsell discovered it can be about the challenges of learning to live with not much more than the clothes on his back. In debt and homeless, he showered and left his school books at school because he had no place for books while living through a St. John’s, Newfoundland, winter outdoors. “I spent my last year of university living on the streets and sleeping in the winter under a park bench in the snow,” the Langford actor said. “I was so poor I didn’t have any winter boots so I had two pairs of wool socks (stuffed) in rubber boots.” After losing all his belongings in a divorce he said cost him everything he had, and no

family to help support him through challenging times, the homeless English literature major endured by finding solace in the arts. “Theatre has given me a unique perspective on life... You get to explore those characters and life experiences... it is kind of enriching,” he said. “The greatest thing is even in a tragedy people are able to go away entertained... This is a nice feeling.” After discovering a park bench was the only shelter he had, his theatre family began to rally around Rowsell, finding him a couch to sleep on when they could, his fellow cast and crew members slowly helping re-brick his life back together. With their help, Rowsell eventually found his way to the opposite side of Canada where he continues to create Terry and give back at the Four Season’s Musical Theatre where he

got involved two of my friends died in a house fire,” Lara Oberg said of the Johnson Street fire that claimed three lives, including that of her friends Emily Morin and Mark Mitchell in February of 2013. “I didn’t know the people at Four Seasons at the time… But the two hours a couple of times a week, it allowed me to step out of my head.” Oberg said she was extremely happy and honoured to be working with Rowsell and the rest of the Four Seasons team during those times and stressed their commitment helped her face her challenges. “When people get together when they do something they love and by and large it is something that is extracurricular or volunteer… That’s the spirit that brings people together,” Oberg said. “When people take certain roles there is time when you need to step outside yourself and that makes you vulnerable, that puts

you on an equal footing that can be a place for more authentic connections.” She said the community is tight because of the trust they place in each other and those they collaborate with on stage, and that is a connection that can be seen at the Fringe Festival where Woman with Horns continues Sept. 3, 5 and 6 at the Intrepid Theatre. Rowsell and Oberg take the lead in a decades-old piece Rowsell wrote when going though the toughest stretch of his life. “If you see someone in the street that looks poor don’t just write them off. I have done okay, I have a good job, a good career, a good family and a nice home in Langford,” he said. “You get to meet people sometimes who can help you in ways you never expected and what comes around goes around.” Alim@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore to be second home for orchestra and chorus Sooke Philharmonic Chorus seeking new voices Pirjo Raits News Staff

The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is looking ahead to a exciting season of classical music from Handel, Bach and Mozart. This season the chorus will be led by Nicholas Fairbank, who replaces conductor Wade Noble. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is seeking new singers to join the 25 already in the choral group. “We sing a classical repertoire, we’re not singing Kumbaya” said Bob Whittet, president of the Sooke Philharmonic Society. “We want to tap into the growing population on the West Shore, we

want to recruit them into our choir.” Recruiting on the West Shore should be a little easier as the chorus will be rehearsing at Church of the Advent in Colwood and at St. Rose of Lima in Soke. First rehearsals begin at the Church of the Advent on September 19. Rehearsals take place from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. The chorus is seeking soprano, alto, tenor and bass voices. “We want to increase our chorus substantially,” said Whittet. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus is one of the few choruses on Vancouver Island that has the opportunity to sing with a philharmonic orchestra. The orchestra is conducted by Maestro Norman Nelson and the chorus by Nicholas Fairbank. Fairbank will conduct the chorus for two concert series with the orches-

tra. Festive Harmony on December 5 and 6 will feature highlights from Handel’s Messiah with guest soloist Nancy Washeim. Then in March the chorus will join the orchestra for Maestro Mozart’s Vesperae Solemnes de Confessore. This sacred work was Mozart’s final choral work composed for the Salzburg Cathedral. It was composed in 1780 for liturgical use. “It is shaping up to be another wonderful season of music,” said Whittet.

The choral concerts in 2015-16 will be held at the Sooke Baptist Church in Sooke and in the Quarterdeck Ballroom at Royal Roads University. The Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra’s concerts will be held in Sooke at the Sooke Community Hall and at the theatre in the new Royal Bay secondary school in Colwood. The Sooke Philharmonic Chorus was formed in 2000 when Norman Nelson, contacted a women’s choir in Sooke and asked them to form the

nucleus of a full choir interested in singing classical music with the orchestra. Nicholas Fairbank was born and raised on Canada’s west coast, and now lives and works in Victoria, BC. He divides his time between his various musical activities as composer, collaborative pianist, harpsichordist, organist, conductor, adjudicator, clinician and teacher. Fairbank holds diplomas from the Royal Conservatory of Music and the Royal Canadian College

West Shore Parks and Recreation Society (WSPRS), working in cooperation with School District 62, will shortly be installing the planned field lighting at the new Royal Bay High School. This facility, made possible by funding from the City of Colwood, WSPRS and Juan de Fuca Soccer Association gives the community a high quality all-weather artificial turf field that can be shared between daytime student use and evening playing time for the greater community. A public information session on Wednesday, September 9, 2015 at the West Shore Parks & Recreation Kinsmen Fieldhouse at 6:30-7:30 p.m. will provide interested residents with a visual summary of the project.

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Dr. Amanda Tawadros, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, and Dr. Chris Snow

Your School-age Child’s Eyes

A good education for your child includes good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer. The following are the basic vision skills used at school: Near vision: The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. Distance vision: the ability to see clearly and comfortably at arm’s reach and beyond. Binocular coordination: The ability to use both eyes together. Eye movement skills: The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. Focusing skills: The ability to keep both eyes accurately focused at the proper distance to see clearly and to change focus quickly. Peripheral awareness: The ability to be aware of things located to the side while looking straight ahead. Eye/hand coordination: The ability to use the eyes and hands together. Disruption to any one of the above skills will cause your child’s eyes to work harder. This can lead to headaches, fatigue and other eyestrain related problems. Symptoms include: losing their place while reading; avoiding close work; holding reading material closer than normal; tending to rub their eyes often; complaining of headaches; turning or tilting head and appearing to use one eye only; making frequent transpositions of letters or words when reading or writing; omitting small words when reading; consistently performing below the level of their peer group. Since vision changes can occur without anyone noticing, children should visit the Optometrist at least every two years. More frequent visits may be necessary if specific problems or risk factors exist. The doctor can prescribe treatment if needed. Remember, a school screening is not a substitute for a thorough eye examination.

Financial assistance may be offered to qualiﬁed applicants.

Natural gas rates: you have a choice Starting November 1, 2015, you’ll have a choice when it comes to buying natural gas. A program called Customer Choice lets you buy gas from an independent gas marketer at fixed rates and terms, or from FortisBC at a variable rate. Independent gas marketers may knock on your door to discuss these options. Either way, FortisBC would still deliver your gas. To learn more about your options, visit fortisbc.com/yourchoice.

Transit’s New Look You told us you wanted clear and easy to understand maps and transit information. We researched best practices worldwide and created a new look for maps and on-street information. Three levels of service showcase the higher quality transit routes: • Regional routes will see more transit priority investments. • Frequent routes offer 15-minute service for ease of travel

STOP-ID# 000001

• Local routes serve neighbourhoods Individual route maps on the website – www.bctransit.com Watch for the new bus stop signs. The STOP-ID number identifies the individual stop and offers next bus information through Transit Trip Planner and the Transit Information Line 250∙382∙6161.
