Liberal majority a stunner, NDP wins West Shore Trudeaumania helped out local Liberals

Riding the wave of continued support for the New Democratic Party in the Cowichan Valley, Alistair MacGregor captured the new riding of Cowichan-MalahatLangford in Monday’s federal election. MacGregor, who worked for retired NDP MP Jean Crowder for years, won the riding by a landslide of more than several thousand votes ahead of Conservative candidate Martin Barker and
Liberal Luke Krayenhoff. “The people of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford have sent a clear message tonight.” MacGregor said. “You voted for change. Rejecting the politics of fear and division, you voted for a better and more inlusive Canada. And that was a good thing.” He assured everyone, even those who supported other candidates, that he was “going to fight for those values every single day.” He thanked his team, “especially for keeping going when we were so tired after an 11-week campaign.”
The other West Shore riding saw a tight race as the votes began being counted, but in the end, New Democrat incumbent Randall Garrison was re-elected to the realigned riding of Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke on Monday night. Garrison was in a battle early on with unheralded Liberal David Merner, but managed to pull away as the poll numbers came in. He was declared elected by the time 50 of 229 polls were counted, having built a lead of more than 700 votes. Garrison called his victory “bittersweet, but added “I’m
looking forward to working hard over the next four years and I’m going to keep the Liberals’ feet to the fire.” Among other things, he vowed to ensure the Liberals keep their promise to review the Bill C-51 anti-terror bill. Asked how he would do that as a member of the third party in Parliament, he said, “New Democrats have always had a strong voice and being the third party won’t change that.” WATCH THE FRIDAY GOLDSTREAM GAZETTE FOR MORE IN-DEPTH ELECTION COVERAGE
In an overwhelming performance that began with a sweep of Atlantic Canada and was maintained, despite lukewarm support in British Columbia, the Liberal Party and leader Justin Trudeau were swept into office with a majority government Monday night. However, the national support for the Liberals appeared to translate into votes in both West Shore ridings. David Merner finished second in the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding, while Luke Krayenhoff ran neck-and-neck with Conservative Martin Barker for second in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford. Krayenhoff, a late replacement following the resignation of Maria Manna, gave kudos to winner Alistair MacGregor of the NDP. Krayenhoff noted, however, the Liberals made an impact. “The Liberals have made a strong showing in this riding,” he said. “We’ve got everything to be proud of.” Of his party’s national accomplishment, he added, “We had no idea it would be such a strong success. We’re just over the moon.” Among the changes he said the Liberals plan on implementing is a change from the first-past-thepost system that this time saw the Liberals declared to form the next government before the polls in B.C. even closed. “We’re going to look at all options, but we want one where people can vote on principle, more than voting so strategic all the time.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Mobile unit saving lives Kendra Wong Black Press
From the outside, the province’s mobile medical unit simply looks like a white truck. But stepping inside is like entering another world. The interior of the 16-metre, 1,000-square-foot tractor-trailer looks like the emergency room of a hospital. There are stretchers, medical supplies, monitors, portable X-ray machines, ultrasounds and crash carts. The high-tech hospital on wheels and additional support trailer, administered by the Provincial Health Services Authority, can be deployed anywhere in the province when disaster strikes or when additional capacity is needed to cope with emergencies or large-scale public events. With five full-time staff, the unit is deployed to the regional health authorities in the province throughout the year to help support hospitals and

health centres undergoing renovation, hosting outreach clinics and providing disaster training and education with site clinicians. Its latest stops were on the Island, including Victoria General Hospital where they provided roughly 60 local clinicians with disaster training and trauma education. It also stopped in Esquimalt, providing pediatrics, asthma and allergy care to the Songhees First Nations. Alyshia Higgins, program manager for the mobile medical unit, said it’s flexible in the type of care it can provide during a deployment. “We’ve really expanded the scope of our program. Initially, the thought was that we would provide support for disasters and emergencies. But we really can fulfill a variety of means,” she said, adding a few babies have been born in the unit when they were in Pemberton. In 2012, the unit was deployed to its first emergency to provide care for up to eight patients at a time when Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency room was flooded While the unit is outfitted for the rare disaster, Peter Hennecke, clinical operations director, said an important aspect has become education and outreach work. “We’re like a catalyst for change. We’re working with the emergency health services, fire, bringing all these groups together for education that doesn’t always happen if you don’t have that catalyst,” he said. The unit costs roughly $900,000 annually to operate with funding divided between Fraser, Interior, Northern and Vancouver Coastal Health, as well as the Vancouver Island Health Authority. The Provincial Health Services Authority works with the health authorities to deliver provincewide solutions that improve the health of British Columbians. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

CRD remediation site progressing in Highlands Millstream Meadows site filled with history, among other things Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff
A project decades in the making is beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But getting through that tunnel could still be a long process. The Millstream Meadows site in Highlands is entering the final stages of remediation but still could have another five years before the property will be ready for sale. “We don’t know exactly how it’s going to turn out,” said Highlands Mayor Ken Williams. “It’s very preliminary.” Millstream Meadows is a 32-acre site that was used as an unregulated dumping site for septage waste from approximately 1941 to 1985. Initially the site was privately owned but the province acquired and operated it for a brief period in 1974. It came into the CRD’s possession in 1984 before it was closed in 1985. In 2008, the CRD and the province began the remediation process after contaminations were identified and removed roughly 76,000 metric tonnes of soil from the site. Contaminates found included metals, hydrocarbons, household debris, construction refuse, auto parts, PCBs, sewage and oil waste. The goal of this remediation project, which has seen cooperation between the province, the CRD and the District of Highlands, is to see the property returned to

An aerial view of the Millstream Meadows site is outlined in red, showing its proximity to other industrial and rural properties in the Highlands. The site has been undergoing remediation since 2008 in hopes of removing contaminates from the area. public use. But the CRD must acquire a certificate of compliance from the B.C. Ministry of Environment that will deem the site safe for use before the property can be sold. To comply with those environmental and rezoning requirements the next phase of remediation will require an approved professional to complete investigations and risk-assessment activities, and submit applications to the Ministry of Environment. Last week the CRD Board voted in favour
of entering into that next stage and allowing staff to begin the competitive processes of receiving bids for environmental consulting services and detailed site investigations. CRD board chair Nils Jensen said once a consultant has been selected, that group would be able to determine an updated timeline for the completion of the project once assessments have been done. Those assessments will also help to determine when the CRD will be able to sell the property, which is currently predicted for
2020, and which portions of the property they will be able to lease out in the interim. An overall budget for the project was estimated at $10.5 million. To date $9 million has been spent with an estimated $2.7 million in outstanding costs still projected. “We hope to recoup most of that.” Jensen said the CRD plans on doing that with income from leasing and eventually the sale of the property, adding “it’ll depend on market conditions at the time.” Those costs have been shared, with the CRD contributing roughly 60 per cent and the provincial government contributing the other 40 per cent. “This is an excellent example of different levels of government working very collaboratively to correct a historical situation,” Jensen said. “It’s been a very positive experience.” Williams said the Highlands council was asked by the CRD to begin moving forward with a rezoning application that could see the land redeveloped for commercial or light industrial use. “Remediation has to be set to much higher standards for residential use.” Williams said the application was still in its early stages and the next steps will be for council to review the site before it is passed onto the committee level. “This is a comprehensive approach,” he said, adding that “it’s going to be a longterm plan.” The District is also looking at another rezoning application for an adjacent property and plans to develop a thorough strategy for the entire area. “Everyone in the region seems to be on the same page with this one,” Williams said. katie@goldstreamgazette.com
Slow down and move law includes all roadside workers Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff
West Shore RCMP traffic officers are out in full force this month, reminding motorists to obey the law requiring them to slow down and move over when they see any flashing lights. Unfortunately, it’s not just first responders who know what can happen when passing motorists get distracted and get too close. Westshore Towing Ltd. owner Dave LeQuesne has been in the towing industry since he graduated high school in the mid1980s. He said without the visible presence of flashing red lights and first responders, many drivers don’t bother to move over. “It’s different when we’re out there by ourselves,” he said, adding that some motorists even yell and make rude gestures at work-
ers when they block a lane to make the area safer to work in. “It’s just a matter of time before one of us gets hurt and by then it’s too late.” He said the chances of someone coming home after being struck by a vehicle traveling 80 km/h on the highway is very unlikely. “It’s not your normal nine to five office.” The “slow down and move over” law was amended in January to include all official vehicles, not just first responders. If you see red, blue or yellow flashing lights, you must slow down and move away from the parked vehicles when safe. If traveling on a road with a speed limit of 80 km/h or greater, drivers must slow down to 70 km/h or less. If the posted speed limit is less than 80 km/h you must slow to 40 km/h. Many people don’t understand the relatively new law and how it impacts every-
one working the white line, not just first responders, LeQuesne said. “It’s hard when you’re out on the road.” His experience on the side of the road isn’t just limited to a tow truck. He also served with Langford Fire Rescue and grew up around the fire hall. He was actually in a fire truck, backing it into the station with all of the lights flashing, when it was struck by another motorist on the road. “We’re just too busy,” he said of drivers in general. “We don’t focus on what we should be doing when we’re driving. People need to get back to the basics.” Police will be on roadsides reminding drivers of those basics and that moving over creates a buffer from traffic, minimizing the chances of someone being hit – and they’ll be handing out stiff fines to those who don’t listen. This targeted enforcement
is the focus of the West Shore RCMP in October, as well as continuing to remind motorists of the consequences of distracted driving. Detachment spokesperson Const. Alex Berube said it is critical for drivers to understand that official vehicles are not just emergency responders, they also include tow trucks, commercial vehicle safety enforcement inspectors, constructions crews and highway maintenance crews, among others. “This law exists for the safety of roadside workers, first responders and those in need of help,” Berube said. He reminded that if drivers fail to slow down and move over they could face a fine of $173 and three penalty points on their license. But other consequences could be much worse. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood beach cleanup still underway after needles found Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff
A recent discovery of roughly 50 needles in the sand at the Esquimalt Lagoon in Colwood
has prompted the City to respond with extra efforts to make sure the beaches are safe for residents. Colwood’s communication manager Sandra Russell said bylaw officers already do a daily beach
clean-up along the Lagoon, but have added additional staff members for an “intense” check. She said this extra effort will continue until there is an extended period in which no needles have
Our Biggest Eyewear Sale Of The Year
been discovered. Since the initial discovery, officers have continued to find a handful of needles, but only one or two at a time. Last week, at least one of their searches yielded no results and City staff hope that trend will continue. Russell said it wasn’t clear if the needles were dumped from the bridge or from a boat, but they definitely came ashore from the ocean and were not placed there by someone. “It was quite clear they came and washed ashore,” said Russell,
adding it was evident in the way they were discovered in the sand at the high tide line. She said it appeared that a number of the needles were for insulin and some still had their orange packaging. The City also contacted Island Health to confirm there are no other additional measures they should be taking. “We’re really grateful for the people that called promptly to let City staff know,” Russell said adding that if any residents have concerns, City Hall staff members are happy to take their calls. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Golden arches ready to shine One hundred new jobs at new location Arnold Lim News Gazette staff
Langford now has its third McDonald’s restaurant. Rona’s spacious parking lot on the corner of Veteran’s Memorial and Langford parkways now hosts Vancouver Island’s newest McDonald’s restaurant. The new location boasts 95 seats over 5,200 square feet, dual-lane drive throughs, Victoria’s first self-serve kiosk at a McDonald’s and more than 100 new, local jobs for the community. “We have been eyeballing this side of Langford for a very long time, it is very underserved because there is huge growth in the West Shore,” said owner Ken Taylor. “With Royal Bay coming on, West Hills, Bear Mountain activating again, the whole West Shore is alive and vibrant... This is the best opportunity right now that we see on the Island.” Taylor, a Colwood resident of six years, opens the fourth McDonald’s on the West Shore, joining one inside the Walmart across the street, one on Millstream Road, on one on Island Highway in Colwood. He also owns one in Esquimalt and one in Sooke. “We do a lot of market research and this site indexed extremely well, in fact it is as well an indexed site as McDonald’s has ever seen,” he said. “They call it the 1000 per cent store, taking into account traffic counts, population, (where people) work, live and shop - it is all in this zone. Everything that McDonald’s looks at, all converge here.” The new locations is also the very first to carry their new line of bakery items including croissants, lemon loaf, strudels alongside an expanded coffee bar. The restaurants manager Rhonda Glowasky, a View Royal resident, brings 22 years of experience at McDonald’s over from the Millstream location to help open the new restaurant. She said this location will be served by the community, for the community. “We have hired more than 100 people from the community at this restaurant,” she said. “That is one of the things we really want to do, we are very focused on local... It is critical.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW
Is Ottawa ready to change? As this marathon of an election finally comes to a close we can’t help but ponder what this next chapter in Canadian history will look like. Early predictions warned of voter fatigue and burnout but we saw the opposite during town hall meetings and all-candidate forums. This tight political race, both on the national stage and in our own two West Shore ridings, among others on the Island and in the province, seemed to captivate the attention of voters. It inspires comment and dialogue, two things that often get overlooked in the political process. We hope this trend will continue. West Shore residents voiced their concerns on the issues closest to their hearts. We heard many healthily narratives about the environment, economy, child care and climate change, among others. We know how much these issues matter to our readers and moving forward we hope that will inspire movement on the national stage. And residents will soon get their chance to let their member of parliament know what issues they want addressed in Ottawa. They will have their chance to help shape national policy before it effect the West Shore and its residents in more ways than one. At least we hope West Shore residents will get their say. Residents have indicated on many different levels that they want change in the way our federal government operates. They no longer want the adversarial framework that the government has historically fashioned. Voters want to see collaboration among the parties to make Canada the best it can be. What has fatigued voters’ interest in this election is attack ads, bickering, bullying and name calling. Parliament isn’t a playground and these aren’t the values we want taught to our children or broadcast around the world. Our politicians are supposed to be leaders. And Canadians have asked them to stand up to that role. But only time will tell us if Ottawa is ready to change. If not, we may be back at the polls sooner than we all believe. What do you think?

The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media, and information technology? Do we want to? The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which expired on Oct. 1. I’m told by federal and provincial officials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year.

LETTERS Colwood policies troubling residents Re: “Rezoning pressure plagues Colwood” (Letters, Oct. 14) The writer has it all wrong. Far from being committed to “tax-producing” endeavors, Colwood city management goes out of its way to ignore such picayune concerns. Witness its refusal to rezone properties that harbour Telecom towers and devices. The Telecom industry enjoys residential zoning status despite the fact that B.C. Assessments labels telecommunications as a utility. And the tax rate for utility zoned properties in Colwood is more than 14 times higher than the residential rate. So why is city management not rezoning these properties and taxing them at the appropriate utility rate? Why is it not rezoning and, thereby, lessening the ever increasing tax burden on the rest of us? Because, as city management points out, a land use bylaw allows the Telecoms to be placed on residentially zoned land and, as a consequence, to be taxed at the lower residential rate. So what’s city management to do in such a situation? Continue to ignore this inequity? Or change the bylaw? Changing the bylaw, after all, is within its functional ability. It is certainly within its mandate. And it’s within its obligation to the taxpayers of Colwood. But is it within its DNA to override what, on this issue, appears to be a pathological inertia? If the past is any indication, you already know the answer. Dennis Noble Colwood
right to a healthy environment) than that issue would be put in a bill and passed. With todays ‘whip’ policy our parties have to ignore what their constituents want and vote for what the party leader says. This policy applies to NDP, Liberal and PC. The only party who allows its elected members to vote their conscience is the Green Party. This destruction of the fundamental of democracy, that those elected represent their constituents, is the reason that it is imperative that every person get out and vote. Together, we can elect a government that represents the values of our community and works to ensure Canada is healthy, safe and democratic. Gerald Christie Saanich

It has long been my understanding that politicians were elected to serve the people they represented.

Trout ready for baited lines Stocking lake helps encourage outdoor activities Arnold Lim News Gazette staff
Brett Parker eases a large metal tube into the water. With chest waders up to his armpits, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C. (FFSBC) co-op student holds on as a truck, that drove in from a hatchery in Duncan, pumps 500 rainbow trout through the tube, and into Glen Lake in Langford. “The finishing pressure that this lake receives generally can’t be sustained by the natural reproduction of the lake so we stock it with 1,000 catchable-size rainbow trout in the fall and 1,000 in the spring,” FFSBC assistant hatchery
manager Tristan Robbins said. “Those fish provide instantaneous fisheries for anglers in the area.” This fall, Glen Lake will get 1,000 fish, Langford Lake 1,500, Thetis 2,000, Colwood 250 with many more going to Prior Lake, Prospect Lake, Elk Lake and more dispersed throughout the West Shore and Southern Vancouver Island. He said there are many reasons stocking the lake is important, one of them, to promote more outdoor activities for youth, including two-year-old Brandon Shaw who watched, pointing excitedly as the fish cascaded through the water. “It (helps) provides more of a well-rounded lifestyle, a lot of kids these days tend to be stuck to more electronics and that kind of stuff, not getting out and about as maybe kids 50 years ago,” Robbins said. “So having these programs in place and learn to fish programs encourages kids to get

Unsterilized fish stop growing after three to four years and put their energy into reproduction for eggs and milk. “I am an angler myself so it is very rewarding to put fish back into the lakes and just to see the publics reactions when you come to stock these lakes, it is really a feel Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff good job,” he said.

Fireworks permits required in West Shore communities Arnold Lim News Gazette staff
Enjoy fireworks on Halloween? A Fireworks Safety Course is coming to West Shore residents interested in participating in the annual Halloween tradition.
“If you are going to be doing it, definitely take the fireworks safety course,” said Metchosin Fire chief Stephanie Dunlop. “And please be considerate of animals, they get terribly distraught of the sound of fireworks and every year we have stray dogs that get lost because they freak out.”
Completion of the free course is a requirement for those wishing to obtain a permit for the possession or discharge of fireworks, not only on Halloween but all day every day in View Royal, Highlands, Colwood and Langford. Permit’s are available for purchase at par-
ticipating city halls and are valid for three years. Issuance of fireworks permits is contingent on current fire conditions. The final course before Halloween is at Colwood City Hall on 3300 Wishart Road on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Belmont crushes opposition Arnold Lim News Gazette staff
Volleyball was on the agenda at Langford’s newest school. The junior girls’ volleyball team kicked off their first tournament ever at the brand new Belmont secondary school on Oct. 15 and 16. The team took top spot at home, cruising to a 6-0 record over the course of the two-day tournament in the Island’s newest gymnasium. “I was proud that all (players) contributed... (And) I loved the fact we were able to showcase the school and showcase the gym, when kids walked in their jaws dropped,” said junior coach Ken Lowe. “Every team that left said they wanted to come back next year.” It wasn’t only the facilities that impressed, Belmont Blue cruised through 12 consecutive sets en route to their undefeated weekend, defeating Royal
Bay, Victoria High and Nanaimo District to claim top spot in pool play. The Blue side capped off their weekend with victories over Oak Bay in the quarterfinals, Claremont in the semifinals, before defeating Timberline in the final to sweep all sets, of all their games. Olivia Godek was named MVP while Hannah May and Taylee Pomponio were named to the all-star teams. However Lowe said that it wasn’t just the play on the court he was most impressed with. “I had countless coaches come to me and tell me how well our Belmont girls behaved and were officials when they weren’t playing,” he said. “To me that is more important to being a skill player, that they were good citizens throughout the tournament.” Belmont White was happy to win their last game, getting a healthy does of experience and
taking 15th spot out of the 16 teams on home court before both squads hit the road this weekend for a tournament at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. Colwood’s Royal Bay school finished 12th in the tournament. The senior girls volleyball team, lead by head coach Mike Toakley, also impressed over the same weekend, taking victories over Pacific Christian, Archbishop Carney of Coquitlam and Nanaimo’s Woodlands in pool play at the Brentwood College Classic Tournament. The home team proved to be too much for them in the semi-finals, where they fell before taking out Parksville’s Ballenas on Saturday for a second consecutive time to secure the bronze medal on the strength of power hitters Kendra Hobenshield, Jess Thomsen, and setter Kirsten Barry’s strong performances.
Royal Bay Ravens players Sarah Scott-Moncrieff (3) and Jessica Jones go all in trying to block the ball from crossing the net against the Belmont Bulldog’s Blue team at Belmont secondary school. Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff

If you have normal vision, you should be able to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away. When your eye doctor examines your eyes he will measure your vision at long distance as well as close up. The measurement for distance vision is usually taken at 20 feet. A test for near vision is usually taken at the normal reading distance or about 16 inches. Near vision is used for reading, sewing, eating and any other activity in which the object you are looking at is within arms length. Intermediate vision includes computer screens, music on a stand, cards on a table etc. Distance vision is considered anything beyond that point. This would include looking at television or at people across the room, even though the distance is relatively short. You need to see clearly wherever you happen to be looking. Straining your eyes to try to see objects clearly can often cause headaches and other discomfort. If you think you may need glasses or contact lenses or a new lens correction, see your family optometrist for an examination.

Grizzlies snap six game losing streak on home ice New additions and scoring streak breaths new life into team Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff
Last weekend was an eventful one for the Victoria Grizzlies Junior A team. The Grizzlies managed to come from behind on the weekend to break a rocky losing streak. The low-scoring B.C. Hockey League club put nine goals on the score-
board between the two weekend games. Before the weekend the team had been averaging less than two goals a game. Friday night the Grizzlies outshot visiting Powell River Kings 29-14 in the first 40 minutes of play but found themselves trailing 2-1 in the third. The Grizzlies managed to put three in the back of the net within roughly two minutes of each other to pull ahead. Two goals from Cole Pickup, with others from Chuck Bennis and Kevin Massy put the team ahead on the scoreboard with rookie Keyvan Mokhtari adding another goal to make it 5-2 at the final buzzer.
