Liberal candidate resigns after online posts resurface Manna says she felt no pressure from Liberal Party to step down Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Metchosin resident Anna Hall stands in the thick of Spellman Park, a property next to her home, which she hopes will stay a designated park and not be sold off to be used for residential development.

Metchosin residents win latest round over rural park’s future Referendum on disposition of Spellman Park won’t come anytime soon Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

The battle for Spellman Park may just be heating up. A proposed bylaw amendment that would have removed park status from the almost five-acre green space at the corner of Spellman and Lindholm roads in Metchosin

was defeated, after more than the required number of eligible voters signed an Electoral Response Form against the change. The District of Metchosin must now hold a referendum on the issue if it wishes to enact the change. Anna Hall, who lives next door to the park and spearheaded the Save Spellman Park campaign, said she was pleased with the response, which saw 566 Metchosin residents sign the form. The process requires at least 10 per cent of eligible voters to indicate their opposition, which is 377, she noted.

Metchosin Mayor John Ranns, clearly frustrated with the result, which was brought up at Sept. 14 council meeting, said there has been a good deal of misinformation about the District’s intentions for the property. “It’s two building lots and in past years, we tried to do something with it. We tried to put a bike jump park and (the public) said they would prefer to put residences in there.” “So we put the bike jump park in PLEASE SEE: Spellman Park saga, Page A4

After announcing her decision Monday to step down as the Liberal Party of Canada’s federal candidate in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford, Maria Manna sounded upbeat. “I’m really okay with it,” the Bear Mountain resident said, having posted a resignation statement on her Facebook page – the very vehi- Maria Manna cle on which she posted what have become her controversial views on 9/11 and the Twin Towers. Manna commented in 2013 on the social media website about the World Trade Centre attacks. She called the official story that the planes hitting the twin towers caused them to collapse a “lie,” and that she believed a different truth. The posts resurfaced and were picked up by several media organizations over the weekend, causing some controversy. Manna would not confirm whether those comments were directly related to her resignation, but when asked whether she felt pressure to step down, she said she did not. She would not comment further on the matter, saying that her resignation statement adequately summed up her response. In her Facebook post early Monday afternoon, Manna said that after stepping back and reflecting on recent events she had decided to resign. She expressed her support for the Liberal party and did not wish her opinions and comments to detract from their goals. She went on to apologize to anyone she may have offended and said she would devote herself to her music and humanitarian work. The Liberal Party of Canada emailed a terse statement to the Gazette confirming Manna’s resignation. When asked to expand on the matter, a party spokesperson refused to elaborate past the comments made in the release. That email also announced that Luke Krayenhoff would be replacing Manna as the Liberal candidate in the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford riding. Krayenhoff was previously nominated to represent the Liberals in the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding but lost his bid to current candidate David Merner. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore RCMP investigation turns violent Police attempt to stop suspected stolen vehicle, manhunt ensues Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

West Shore RCMP are still searching for the remaining suspect who fled from police on Friday, triggering a fourhour manhunt and displacing Langford and Highlands residents. The suspect is described as a caucasian male in his late 20’s to early 30’s, standing about 5-8 with a thin build. He was wearing a dark hooded sweatshirt at the time of the incident. Police would not release any further details by the Gazette’s press deadline. The extensive manhunt was called off at around 5 p.m. on Friday and displaced residents were finally allowed to return to their homes. A police presence remained in the area throughout the evening even though RCMP stated that the public was not at risk. At around noon on Friday, West Shore RCMP officers attempted to stop a vehicle on Finlayson Arm Road near Falcon Heights in Langford in relation to a stolen vehicle

investigation. The vehicle took off, but crashed a short distance away. One suspect was arrested without incident at the crash site, while the man believed to be the driver fled on foot. Preliminary RCMP reports suggested the remaining suspect attempted to hit officers with the vehicle he was driving before it crashed. Details of interactions between police and the suspects at the scene are still being confirmed at this time. But it is believed an officer discharged their firearm. A firearm, believed to be stolen, was also seized as part of the investigation. There are no known injuries to anyone involved in this incident. This prompted response from multiple local and regional RCMP units, including a RCMP helicopter, RCMP police dog units, the RCMP emergency response team and a number of uniformed officers. Officers with the West Shore RCMP’s Crime Reduction Unit are conducting an investigation into a vehicle

Cyclist spins out of control West Shore RCMP are also seeking the public’s help in identifying a cyclist involved in a B.C. Transit bus incident last month.

The cyclist tried to board a transit bus on Aug. 15 on Island Highway near Dukrill Road in View Royal, but was denied service due to his unruly behaviour. He then approached the bus driver’s window, smashing it with his fist.

The suspect was last seen travelling north on Island Highway. No one on the bus was injured during the incident. RCMP are asking anyone that could help identify the suspect to contact them.

VOTES!

Federal election candidates for Cowichan-MalahatLangford, Alistair MacGregor of the NDP, left, Maria Manna of the Liberal Party, Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi of the Green Party and a “stand-in” for Conservative candidate Martin Barker, participate in the Energy, Climate and Our Future debate last Thursday at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish hall in Langford. The B.C. Sustainable Energy Association and the Dogwood Initiative, co-hosts of the debate series, invited Barker to participate, but he did not attend. The Conservative candidate’s absence allowed the others, on many occasions, to speak out against government policy unchallenged. Don Descotesau/ News Gazette staff

Candidates speak up on environmental issues Cowichan-MalahatLangford riding at stake Oct. 19 Lexi Bainas and Katherine Engqvist Black Press

Environmental policy is a topic that could well influence voters in the federal election, and local candidates hoping to win the Cowichan-Malahat-Langford seat on Oct. 19 are staking out their territory on issues that range from renewable energy to pipelines. NDP candidate and Duncan resident Alistair MacGregor calls climate change “the overarching issue of this century” and points to its effect in the riding. “We have seen a pretty sharp drop in our river levels and extended drought periods. That is something our federal government will need to take a very seri-

ous look at and implement actions to combat.” MacGregor said he’s been listening to stakeholder concern about the Cowichan River. “There is a real consensus that we need to hold back more supply at the lake. That involves raising the weir. I’d like to see some action on that file,” he said. Of the Malahat First Nation’s LNG plans, he said, “That announcement was a surprise for everyone. I have heard from the Tsartlip First Nation (on the Saanich Peninsula) and, in the background, from members of Cowichan Tribes, that there is a lot of uneasiness about this.” The current push from higher levels of government towards oil and gas development could be seen “as the easy route to quick money” for impoverished First Nations communities, he said. “Bamberton is so beautiful; that specific tract of land could have a whole bunch of different uses

outlined for it.” The Green Party sees the environment in connection with employment, so jobs created must be sustainable and renewable, said Green hopeful Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi. “We’d like not to have so much resource extraction, per se, but rather to create alternatives,” she said. “The Cowichan Valley is uniquely poised in this regard because these discussions are far advanced in comparison to the overall riding. With the weather, our water security, our food security, dealing with drought – we need to take some bold stands and take some strong actions to protect the environment and to protect our coastline.” While backing the Malahat Nation’s move towards economic development, Hunt-Jinnouchi sees the proposed LNG project as short-sighted. “There hasn’t been collabo-

ration with their neighbouring nations or communities,” she said, adding that pressure could well be brought to bear from both federal and provincial governments. Conservative Martin Barker sees the Malahat Nation’s proposed LNG facility as a potentially positive step for the First Nation. “Myself and the Conservative Party will always support the efforts of First Nation people in achieving prosperity and accountable self-governance,” he said. “The Malahat Nation has made prudent use of the First Nation Funding Authority to create opportunity for its people.” The road to the potential LNG plant and underwater pipeline “will require considerable consultation and study, and then the meeting of very strict safety and environmental standards, as is the practice in Canada,” he added, but chose not to comment further until he has heard the arguments for and against.

That said, Barker said his party understands that tens of thousands of Canadian jobs depend on a thriving energy sector. “The natural resource sector, directly and indirectly, employs 1.8 million Canadians, many in skilled, quality jobs. Resource development generates $30 billion annually in revenue and is the largest employer of First Nations people.” While Conservatives try to boost Canada’s clean energy sector, strengthen Canada’s record on conservation and deliver good Canadian jobs, plans for the future must continues to address these concerns, he said. – Editor’s note: As the News Gazette was going to press, we were awaiting confirmation that a new Liberal candidate would replace Maria Manna.

Spellman Park saga may not be over yet Continued from Page A1

“So we put the bike jump park in municipal areas instead,” he said. “We don’t even intend to sell it immediately, but we heard there may be federal land of much higher park value becoming available.” This “orphan” park, which was once logged and is second-growth forest, could not be sold for the sake of adding residential properties,” Ranns said. Instead, plans were to use the approximately $400,000 the property would fetch and add that to park acquisition funds, or partnering with others, to acquire even more park land. He said he has no intention of seeing any parkland lost in Metchosin. In fact, he wants to add to the park value in the district, as long as the municipality doesn’t have to take on debt to do so. “Metchosin does not borrow money – that is a rockhard policy – it is a pay-asyou-go municipality,” Ranns said. “If another land of a higher value (became available) we

want to be able to respond to that immediately.” Hall wasn’t phased by the argument, saying she still isn’t interested in losing Spellman Park. The property is separated from Blinkhorn Park by Lindholm Road and is surrounded on two sides by residential lots – one of which Hall owns. She said those living close to the park and those further away have voiced interest in keeping it as it is now. “I am also concerned with selling one to get something better,” she said. “In a district like Metchosin, where there are very few areas that are left as parks, why are we risking losing one? Because losing one opens up that door, even if it is a tiny bit, to losing the other ones and what will be the argument next time?” Despite the defeat, the topic will not be going immediately to a referendum, which could cost the municipality approximately $8,000. However, the future of Spellman Park could still be raised again at a later time. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Royal Bay’s ‘family’ proud of new school

Belmont spirits run high

Ravens flocking to, not away from new nest

Students rally in their new space

Katherine Engqvist

News Gazette staff

Students and staff donned the school’s blue-and-white and filed into Belmont’s new gym for the first pep rally of the year on Friday. It was a special occasion for the Belmont community, marking the first time in almost 20 years the entire student body gathered together in one room. Principal Ray Miller noted during the rally that none of the students in the bleachers were born the last time Belmont’s student body all gathered. The main gym at the old building could only seat about 400 at a time, which meant that students were separated into shifts for assemblies and other gatherings. But the new gym has the capacity to hold 1,600.

school, if not better,” Miller said. That spirit is infectious. Teacher Charlotte Haley, new to Belmont, said the construction has brought everyone at the school closer together and has really made them all a team. “The kids have taken a lot of pride in their school,” she said. “They’re looking forward to when it’s done, but they’re still enjoying the facilities.”

Students and staff at the new Royal Bay secondary school are having a tough time thinking of things they don’t like about it. Katie Rufh, 17, is in her first and final year at Royal Bay. While the senior student could not have imagine the first month in the new digs going any better she was especially excited to start making new traditions. She said since it was a new school, the senior class “didn’t have any yet.” Rufh didn’t even mind being separated from her Belmont peers. “I kind of like the smaller student body she said,” adding that the two schools were working together on several senior events like the winter formal and prom to keep everyone together.

The entire Belmont student body gathered for a pep rally last week to kick off the school year. Members of the teaching staff even did a little dance to celebrate the occasion. “We were a great school in an old, tired building,” Miller said. “But we had a great staff and community.” The new building, he added, has created “a recipe for magic.” In general, he said, the school year is off to a great start and while construction is still ongoing, it’s something everyone simply has to wait out. “Eventually those inconveniences won’t be around.” Some of those school-finishing issues, such as a shortage of

about 350 lockers, will be solved with the completion of the final block of classrooms. That wing was projected to be done by the end of the month, but a new deadline for completion has yet to be released. Another issue the school is having is a lack of available parking spaces, but that problem will quickly be solved as the final stages of construction progress. “The spirit at Belmont is just as high as it was in the old

The future is here. Welcome students! The new Royal Bay Secondary School provides outstanding opportunities. We wish you every success as you explore where those opportunities will take you. The City of Colwood is extremely grateful to the Ministry of Education, School District 62 and all the partners, funders and members of our community who worked together to make our two new West Shore high schools a reality.

Rufh did however predict in the future the two schools would become rivals, especially their sports teams, but for now she said “we’re all still friends.” Royal Bay principal Windy Beadall said in the design phase there were some concerns over students damaging some of the school’s aesthetic features. But the architect had promised students would rise to the challenge. “It’s nice to see their respecting it,” said Beadall,

adding that students had really taken ownership of the new school and unlike the old Belmont school were happily staying put on the grounds. She said their had been a few minor “growing pains” but the contractors had been amazing. John Froess teaches English on the second floor overlooking the bay. He is in one of the double classrooms separated by a glass partition. While some originally thought the glass divider would be a bit of a distraction he said it has

led to a more collaborative learning environment, allowing them to open it for more interaction. He said settling into the new building had been a “bit tough” but that was mostly due to trying to get new technologies up and running. Froess however did miss his Belmont colleagues and found that to be the hardest part of the move. “It’s like a family splitting up,” he said. Although, he too noted they were still working together with their sister school. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Haley teaches the sports performance rugby class, among others, and looks forward to growing the program and eventually making it an academy program. More than 30 students are registered for its first year. Tyler Hardy, 15 and in Grade 10, is in his first year as a member of the Belmont community. He spent his Grade 9 year at Spencer middle school before the re-

configuration this year. So far he’s found the transition easy. “I just found there was more kids,” he said. He’s excited to take advantage of being on an “open” campus for the first time, meaning students can leave the campus on breaks to use amenities in the area. He likes how close Glen and Langford lakes are, as well as Goudy Field and the City Centre Park complex. But Hardy is most excited about breaking in the

school’s new gym as a member of the volleyball team. He is also trying out for the basketball team, but expects hoops tryouts to be tough. As he was talking, rival teams began filing in to compete in a volleyball tournament that afternoon. They couldn’t hide their amazement. Jaws dropped as they took in their surroundings. It seems Belmont students aren’t the only ones impressed. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

IRSU cracking down in construction zones Hefty fines handed out in Langford construction zone Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

If you were travelling on West Shore roads last week you may

have noticed a number of construction sites filled with busy workers. You may have also noticed a few people on site without hard hats, wielding radar guns instead of shovels. The Capital Region District’s Integrated Road Safety Unit is out in force, reminding drivers to slow down in construction zones and enforcing traffic infractions, espe-

Grow a Native Plant Garden. Residents of the Capital Region are invited to participate in a FREE workshop on gardening with drought-resistant native plants. Instruction on native plant identification, their benefits and how to use them will be included. An overview of CRD Water Conservation programs will be provided and participants will be given a tour of a native plant garden. These informative workshops will be held at Swan Lake Nature House, located at 3873 Swan Lake Road in Victoria. 2015 Workshop Dates: Sunday, October 4 12:30 pm to 3:30 pm

cially in the construction zone around Leigh Road on the Trans Canada Highway. While that particular construction zone is well marked with traffic cones and speed limit change signs, members of IRSU found no shortage of speeding offenders. Staff Sgt. James Anderson, unit commander, said that construction zone flaggers, wearing reflective safety vests, have been diligent in giving advance notice to drivers of changes in the speed limit for the area. While the usual speed limit for both directions of that stretch of the highway is 80 km/h, the construction zone speed limit is reduced to 60 km/h. Anderson said IRSU handed out roughly 20 speeding tickets and even stopped two drivers exceeding the speed limit by 45 km/h, which resulted in fines for excessive speed and vehicle seizures for seven days. The fine for speeding in a construction zone is between $196 to $253. The fine for excessive speeding is between $368 to $483.

Members of the Capital Region Integrated Road Safety Unit have been out in full force lately, patrolling construction zones. They have specifically been targeting speeders on the Trans Canada Highway near the Leigh Road off-ramp project in Langford. Both infractions carry demerits on offenders’ licences. The IRSU boss said the push was not so much about enforcement as it is about keeping construction workers and flaggers safe while they are trying to do their jobs. He noted that in some places,

flaggers have been injured and killed by inattentive and speeding motorists. “Our goal is to eliminate that,” he said. Anderson said their presence is not going to be limited to a oneday initiative. “It’s alway continuous,” he said. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Hockeyville game between the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks, celebrate their homecoming with a 7 p.m. game against the Coquitlam Express. To bring the community back into the fold, the team is offering free popcorn for the first 1,000 fans, has a fun photo booth on hand and will draw a name for someone to shoot for a car courtesy of Galaxy Motors. Winless in their first four road starts on the ice, the Grizzlies posted their first win on Sunday in Chilliwack. Veteran forward Kevin Massy bagged the winner 4:02 into overtime to give the Grizzlies a 2-1 win over the Prince George Spruce Kings at the Bauer BCHL Showcase. The win salvaged the weekend for the club, after they lost 4-0 to the host Chiefs on Saturday. Massy and linemate Cole Pickup set up Brayden Gelsinger for the 1-0 goal in the first period Sunday, but the Kings tied it late in the third. Mitchel Benson picked up the win in goal, making 26 stops in all. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Delicate treatment A neck brace is applied to a worker who fell off a ladder Thursday afternoon onto the pavement on Claude Road, across from where crews are working on the Danbrook Park parking lot. The man was awake and talking to paramedics before being transported to hospital.

Province to fund deer management Stemming from recommendations made by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, the B.C. government has committed to creating a Provincial Urban Deer Advisory Committee, with provisions of up to $100,000 for future approved urban deer management operations and research. The recommendations came from a meeting with provincial representatives at an Urban Deer Workshop this past January. That workshop was intended to create the groundwork for increased awareness, understanding of policy, legislation, regulations and best practices in urban deer management, with the purpose of building greater co-operation between the two levels of government. The workshop led to 22 recommendations presented by the UBCM and participants agreed to create an advisory committee with both provincial and municipal representatives. That committee is still being formed. katie@goldstream gazette.com

Urban Systems, in partnership with Carollo Associates, has been hired to help the Westside Wastewater Treatment and Resource Recovery Select Committee evaluate information gained in the technical and public engagement sessions and the feedback received. The contract, awarded at the end of last month, will include publishing a report that covers the outcomes of this phase of the project. These include: - Wastewater treatment technologies (liquids): technologies that span secondary to tertiary treatment for potential costing - Solids treatment and recovery: technologies for gasification and digestion for one-plant and four-plant comparisons

- Resource recovery target market: target markets and highest potential locations for reclaimed water and solids recovery - Indicative design: instructional outcomes from the workshop to guide options set analysis and costing - Order of magnitude costing: for one plant and four plant options - Site reprioritization: incorporating technical analysis, real estate findings and overall feasibility into a node-by-node update. Earlier this month the committee directed staff to continue soliciting the public for feedback and cast the net wider to engage residents who have not yet been involved in the process.

OUR VIEW

Transit priority the best option Taking transit is a staple for students around the region. But for many West Shore residents who work downtown or anywhere south or east of the Admirals/McKenzie road intersection with Highway 1, busing it doesn’t provide enough time or cost advantages. That said, we applaud the City of Victoria for completing bus/cycles priority lanes on Douglas Street from downtown to Tolmie Avenue. The lanes are active southbound from 6 to 9 a.m. and northbound 3 to 6 p.m. from Monday to Friday. Great idea, but most transportation planners would agree it’s only a start. During the weekday commutes, Douglas Street north of Tolmie, through to Highway 1, is fed largely by West Shore-based vehicles. The 2013 Victoria Transit Priority Corridor Plan stated as much. It noted that during peak morning hours, the percentage of the people travelling south on Douglas on buses still favoured vehicles over buses, as far in as Johnson Street. The report also stated that only about 25 per cent of people using the Island Highway corridor ride transit in peak hours. So what is the next step in addressing the West Shore commute? Since light rapid transit still appears to be light years away, and many drivers would likely take transit if it got them to work or home faster than if they sat in the Crawl, focusing on transit-priority traffic management appears to be the best option. The Corridor Plan acknowledged bus-only lanes as the most effective way to move more people, more quickly. However, such lanes are most difficult to implement, and certainly the most expensive. Unfortunately, there’s little political appetite around our fractured region to spend the kind of money this would require, despite a virtual guarantee that it would improve traffic flow. Adding car pool priority to those lanes would further increase their effectiveness and remove more vehicles from the commutes. Our hope is that the McKenzie interchange project includes transit improvements for the West Shore. Let’s not settle for downtown to Tolmie Avenue, but keep pushing bus priority lanes outward, where they’re needed the most. What do you think?

Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of vast new legal aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile in the real world, class action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice. O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit.

LETTERS Colwood council must act on bike lanes for Metchosin Rd. Re: Safe cycling paths through the gravel pit I have been cycling through the gravel pit for the past 12 years. Many times, as I descended the hill on Metchosin Road, I have been slammed by the high winds we often experience in this area. Colwood knows about those winds, having posted a prominent sign at the top of that hill warning us that trucks might tip over in the wind. Well, what about the poor cyclists? It is a very dangerous area and it was with relief that I saw a couple of weeks ago that the road was being reconfigured to allow for safer cycling. ‘Finally!’ I thought. Well, think again. Now it appears that there will not be a proper bike path. Really?’ Seriously? Cyclists still must share the road with those big trucks lumbering through, especially on the downhill side of the road, when both cyclists and vehicles pick up speed. Cyclists can easily lose control, so it is imperative that there be adequate space

Garbage dropoff is easy Re: Garbage pickup We also live in the Happy Valley area of Langford. Once every five or six weeks we take one bag of garbage into Alpine. If you purchase a card for 10 bags you get the 11th bag free. This gives us almost one year of garbage disposal for $40.00. There is no way to have weekly pick-up for anywhere near this. We don’t make a special trip to Alpine, it’s done on a day that we have other errands to do, so it’s not an inconvenience. We also compost, so no kitchen waste pick-up is needed. Lawrie Wilkins Langford

for cyclists. At least now there is a little more space, but why is there no line painted to provide at least a visual barrier between vulnerable cyclists and vehicles? Now that the new high school has opened and the gravel pit will soon be filling with houses, we hope there will be increasing numbers of people – students, teachers, support staff, residents – who will be cycling to school/work. It’s good for us to exercise and Colwood councillors know this. But we need safe bike lanes. Eileen O’Donnell Metchosin

Tax implication key on garbage pickups Re: Langford needs to consider consolidating garbage pickup (Letters, Sept. 23) I agree that it might be worthwhile to have one provider for garbage pickup. However, I’d like to know if the cost through taxes would be the same as, or

less than, what I am currently paying. With the amount of recycling and composting that I do, I’m left with only one bag of garbage every six to eight weeks. Therefore, at the moment, it makes more sense for me to pay for the bag at the dump, rather than have someone else pick it up. If the cost through taxes were higher, then I’d have no ability to opt out, as I do now. Sandra Hickling Langford

Your election vote can make a difference The federal election is fast approaching and the chance to make your voice heard is more important than ever. On Oct. 19 we can and must make a difference. No matter what your party colour is, if you have been unsatisfied with what is happening in our government, you must make that small, yet powerful effort to vote.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

After each election, I hear people gripe about how poor our government is treating us, or affecting laws. When I ask if they voted, I all too often hear “no.” This is a shame and I tell them, as a non-voter they have no right to complain unless you at least vote. You have a voice, you must use it. Voting is not just a right or privilege, it is our duty. How can we call this country a democracy when only 61 per cent of us voted in the last federal election? There are issues way beyond economics at play here. The environment, cutbacks to many social services, the stifling of our scientific community to name a few. Whether you are young or old, you can learn, ask and make a decision on who you want to run our great country. Take some time, ask questions, Google topics, engage in your democracy and then take the one single action that only you can do: vote. Rod Stiebel Langford

Westshore Wolves forward Nick Polomark (in white) battles Kerry Park’s Zack Smith for a chance on net during Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League action at The Q Centre. The Wolves downed the Islanders 2-1 for their first win of the season. Polomark scored the winner in overtime Thursday as the Wolves beat the Buccaneers 4-3 in Nanaimo.

Wolves get on winning track The Westshore Wolves carry a twogame winning streak into tonight’s (Sept. 30) Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League game against Peninsula at The Q Centre. Nicholas Polomark converted a Branden Tangney pass 2:32 into overtime for his second goal of the game, giving the Wolves a 4-3 win over the Buccaneers in Nanaimo on Thursday. The visitors fell behind 2-1 after one period, but quickly took the lead in the second, when Polomark, at the 1:36 mark, and Kayden Peck, 3:20 in, made it 3-2 Wolves. Zack Funk tied it up for the locals early in the third, as the Bucs did their best to notch the winner. Nanaimo limited Westshore to just two shots in the period. Wolves’ starter Leighton Williams turned aside 20 of 22 shots before being replaced by back Chris Smith late in the second. Tangney finished with three points on the night, scoring once and adding two assists. Peck also recorded an assist while Tyson Malloch had two helpers. Mitch Popp and Tyler Graham also scored for Nanaimo. The win came one night after the Wolves posted their first victory of the young

season, 2-1 over the Kerry Park Islanders at The Q Centre. Tanner Sidaway scored both goals in that one, each coming in the second period.

Williams, who stopped 26 of 27 shots, had his bid for a shutout spoiled with less than six minutes to go in the third, when Lynden Eddy scored

The Licensee is the West Shore Parks and Recreation Society. The amendment application applies to the licensing of areas located at the Fieldhouse, Galleon Room, the Seniors Hall, Curling Lounge and Glencolme Room. The proposed amendment application will affect the existing Food Primary License by removing from the food primary license the Auditorium at the Seniors Hall, the upper level of the Fieldhouse, the Fieldhouse Patio, and the Galleon Room (total occupant load 621 persons). The proposed amendment application will affect the Liquor Primary License by: • adding to the liquor primary license the occupant loads that were removed from the Food Primary License; • adding a new lounge and games area to the main level of the Seniors Hall; • adding an outdoor patio area to the lower level of the fieldhouse; • adding an outdoor ‘event only not daily use’ area abutting the Fieldhouse parking lot; and • removing the Galleon Room from the license as this space is no longer needed as a licensed area for food or liquor service.

on Saturday, amassed 415 passing yards overall and connected on 19 of 26 attempts to nine different receivers. Okanagan jumped out to a 35-0 lead in the first quarter and coasted to their ninth straight win without a loss this season. The Rebels, who wind up their season this Saturday (Oct. 3, 3 p.m.) with the 772 Hockley Ave annual alumni recognition in the Heart of Langford game at home against the Langley Rams, fell to 2-7.

els secondary early and often, en route to a 51-10 victory in B.C. Football Conference play at Westhills Stadium. The Suns’ three pivots, led by Cam Bedore, who threw for 233 yards and five touchdown passes

ROBERTS LANDING

With Talyn Davies in the saddle at quarterback all game, the Rebels did their best to mount an attack, but could only manage a field goal from Bryce Couture by halftime, when it was 45-3 Sun. A bright spot came in the fourth quarter, when Davies and receiver Eric Williams connected on a 75-yard passing play for the home team’s lone touchdown. Williams finished with 88 receiving yards on the day, while Davies favourite target, Hunter Lake,

caught nine balls for a total of 79 yards. All of the Sun’s touchdowns came through the air, with Thomas Huber and Kyle Kawamoto each hauling in two TD passes and teammates Pierre-Luc Lord and Shai Ross adding one each. Davies led the Rebels in rushing yardage with 39 on nine keepers, while Dillon Fortune was Okanagan’s top rusher with 80 yards on 10 carries. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Help needed to track amphibians’ journey Highlands on watch list for frogs, newts and salamanders Pamela Roth Black Press

Holding a rough-skinned newt in her hand, Jill Robinson can’t help but think about what’s been happening to the delicate little creatures whenever they cross the road at night. Early last spring, a biologist and team of volunteers with Habitat Acquisition Trust (HAT) surveyed local roads after concerned citizens reported seeing dead frogs. The team discovered hundreds of dead frogs and salamanders on roads within the Greater Victoria area. In just one night, 369 amphibians were counted on a small section of West Saanich Road, and now that the seasons are changing it’s happening again. “It’s pretty devastating,” said Robinson, a member of HAT — a group dedicated towards conserving nature on south Vancouver Island. “Some of them are alive, but most of them have been totally squished.” According to Robinson, a lot of HAT’s energy so far has been focused on rural areas in the

region, but there’s a number of ponds in the region that could also be locations for migration this fall. The cooler, wet weather is expected to bring a mass migration of baby frogs and salamanders from their wetland habitat to the forest for the winter. Some are already on the move. During another survey that took place from Aug. 29 to Sept. 3, 480 amphibians were found dead on roads in west Saanich and the Highlands. Sixty-three of those were Pacific tree frogs, 40 were rough-skinned newts and 98 were bullfrogs. The deaths, said Robinson, are having a significant impact on the species’ populations. Where exactly the amphibians are migrating from is what HAT is trying to determine. In order to identify hot spots for road kill, HAT is asking for the public’s help with reporting frog and salamander crossings this fall. The problem, said Robinson, is that many species migrate at night when it’s raining, often leaving little trace of their deaths at sunrise. “Unless you are out there

at night time when it’s raining and seeing all the devastation, most of the time in the morning there’s nothing left because scavengers have come along,” said Robinson. “This is one of the leading factors to what’s devastating a lot of populations so figuring out where these hot spots are is really important in order to come up with some sort of mitigation measures so we can reduce this impact.” More than 60 per cent of frog and toad species in B.C. are now listed by federal and provincial agencies as species of concern. Rough-skinned newts and Pacific tree frogs are having a particularly rough time. Robinson said there are a few things that can be done to improve road safety for amphibians, like installing fences redirecting the critters to lit culverts or creating tunnels, but first the problem areas need to be identified. Anyone that sees the critters crossing the road, or has observed high mortality areas is asked to report the sighting by filling out a form at hat.bc.ca. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Reader Photo

of the Week Langford resident Patty Haney caught this little thief red-handed at her residence in Thetis Heights. She was quite surprised one morning after waking up to find this visitor at her bird feeder. She noted that he sure didn’t seem to be in a hurry to leave and managed to grab a shot of him in this relaxed pose. She loves how he looks ever so guilty with bird seed stuck to the end of his nose. If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every Wednesday, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to editor@goldstreamgazette.com. Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper. Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!

Eye Injuries

At this time of year, our thoughts turn to activities such as outdoor sports and gardening. This week’s column focuses on the two most common serious eye injuries. In the first instance, we have a traumatic eye injury. A blow to the eye can lead to loss of vision, immediate medical attention is necessary to give the injured person the best chance for a full recovery. Keep the individual quiet and assess the solution. DO NOT attempt to remove debris from the eye or rinse the eye. DO NOT attempt to open the eye or put any medication on or around the eye. The second emergency, a chemical burn, requires very different handling. The patient must be immediately taken to the nearest source of fresh water, the eye forced open and thoroughly flushed. Seek medical attention only after extensive flushing of the affected eye or while the flushing continues. With a chemical burn, saving a few seconds may save a person’s vision. Two common injuries have two very different management strategies. Have a safe summer. Don’t forget to protect your eyes.

Committing to our planet’s future means properly recycling our electronics of the past. That’s why the EPRA works to keep over 15 million devices out of Canadian landfills every year through convenient and regulated e-recycling programs. Plus, recovered materials go back into the manufacturing supply chain so that fewer natural resources are required. Find out how to safely and securely recycle your electronics now. Nature’s warranty is counting on it. Learn more about the electronics recycling program at:

City Under ConstrUCtion: Summer may be over, but the roadwork continues Drivers in Langford forced to navigate a slew of road upgrades

“We are such a growing community. We’re still building.”

Katherine Engqvist

include a pair of projects underway on McCallum Road. One will establish the missing link between a section near the Four Points by Sheraton Victoria Gateway Hotel and the Florence Lake neighbourhood. The other involves making improvements to the existing road to increase the overall safety of the area. A number of road improvements are going on around Belmont secondary, but these are in their finishing stages and should be done soon. Work on a sewer line being installed on Goldstream Avenue between Jacklin and Spencer roads is due to be completed before the end of December. Ongoing is the Leigh Road interchange Highway 1 southbound off-ramp project, a project that is tied in with the construction of a southbound acceleration lane from West Shore Parkway and the closure of the Goldstream Avenue highway exit. This work is scheduled to be completed by the end of the year. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

News Gazette staff

To some it may feel like on every other road they travel lately they find workers in hardhats, wearing reflective vests and wielding shovels. Not to mention the gauntlet of orange traffic cones that accompany them. Michelle Mahovlich, Langford’s director of engineering, joked that it looks like the city is currently under construction, which compared to other areas isn’t a far stretch. She noted that unlike Victoria’s core areas, Langford is still expanding and developing a lot of its major road networks. “We are such a growing community,” she said. “We’re still building.” While normally summer months are busier for construction due to the drier weather, Mahovlich said there was no stoppage planned for the near future. She hoped that residents won’t mind a few traffic delays. “Hopefully, when they see it completed they’ll appreciate it.” Some areas of construction to note

A construction flagger on Goldstream Avenue redirects traffic as crews busily work to install a sewer line between Jacklin and Spencer roads. Work is scheduled to be completed by the end of December.
