Diminished by strategy Liberal wave made NDP support moot except in areas like the Island Jeff Nagel Black Press

Fun for all ages Langford resident Beckham Clark, 17 months, explores the new toddler area in Playzone at City Centre Park in Langford. Renovations are still underway with more fun items for toddlers and interactive games for those a little older yet to be installed. The facilities have reopened once again with an expanded play structure for children of all ages and those still young at heart.

For months, anti-Conservative campaigners from environmentalists to veterans tried to persuade like-minded voters to coalesce behind the strongest opponent in each riding. We even saw some of that movement materialize here on the West Shore in the form of rallies. But as the dust settles on the Liberals’ powerful majority victory, it’s unclear if those strategic voting attempts had great effect, other than to demolish Green Party hopes to add seats. Organizations like LeadNow and the Victoria-based Dogwood Initiative funded ridinglevel polls to try to help guide progressive voters. LeadNow recommended NDP candidates in 11 B.C. ridings, and the Liberals for two seats on the North Shore. All but three of those chosen candidates won their races. Mario Canseco, vice-president of Insights West, which did polling for Dogwood, said strategic voting attempts appear to have had more effect on Vancouver Island than in the Lower Mainland, where those efforts were swamped by the strength of the Liberal wave. “There are certain pockets where strategic voting worked very well and probably enabled some NDP victories,” he said, adding a few New Democrats were elected on the Island who otherwise would not likely have prevailed over Conservatives.

In the campaign’s final week, several prominent B.C. environmentalists publicly turned away from the Greens in favour of either the NDP or Liberals, in the name of preventing another Conservative government. Green leader Elizabeth May likened it to being gunned down by “friendly fire.” When the votes were tallied, the Green vote in B.C. had increased only marginally – from 7.7 per cent to 8.2 per cent – and they hung onto only May’s seat. “When the election was called I was going to be in the national English language TV debate, unfortunately between Harper and Mulcair it was cancelled. That was a key part of our campaign strategy. When I was in the national televised debates in 2008, that’s when our popular vote soared,” May said. Joined by the West Shore Green Candidates, Frances Litman and Fran Hunt Jinnouchi, at the Victoria Conference Centre, May said strategic voting was a major factor in local riding results. “Particularly on Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland was the notion that people who wanted to vote Green shouldn’t. Couldn’t. Would be bad people if they did,” she said. That was hard to overcome, May said, because many Greens, Liberals and New Democrats shared the same priority. “It was simply not possible to imagine this country enduring a single second more of Stephen Harper’s policies,” she said. “I know there’s a huge base of voters in B.C. that wanted to vote Green and told me they couldn’t, but they all said, next time, once Harper’s gone, next time.” Strategic voting was based on

the premise that Liberals, NDP and Green supporters would risk leaving room for Conservatives to win many races unless they first settled on a single consensus candidate. May said many she spoke with feared that a vote for any of the Green candidates would be helping Harper. “I sympathize with where their fear was coming from. NDP fed it hard on Vancouver Island that you had to vote NDP to stop Harper, and you can see that the NDP was not the party to stop Harper.” It’s difficult, Canseco said, for progressive strategists to get enough granular riding-level data on individual races to gauge how they are evolving in time to be useful to voters. A shorter campaign might have resulted in a Conservative victory, he said. Instead, the Liberals had more time to build momentum and present leader Justin Trudeau as a viable prime minister. Canseco doesn’t accept one theory that the red wave resulted mainly from the Conservatives’ choice to emphasize the niqab issue in Quebec, harming NDP chances there and making the Liberals seem the more obvious alternative for the anyone-but-Harper movement. He said NDP leader Tom Mulcair simply did not perform as well in debates or on the campaign trail as he did before in the House of Commons, and the choice to balance the budget made him seem like “a small ‘C’ Conservative” compared to the bolder Liberals. “They weren’t able to solidify this idea that they were the vehicle for change,” Canseco said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Predicted as the Liberals best shot at winning an Island seat, he said his team worked hard at upsetting Garrison. While he eventually lost the Saanich-Esquimalt-Sooke riding to Garrison (the incumbent), he was leading as the first of the polls began reporting results. “We had a fantastic campaign.” said Merner, which started by knocking on doors Kevin Laird/Black Press in January. “It Randall Garrison at the NDP after party at the doesn’t look like we quite got there Esquimalt Legion on Monday. but we did have a

The fact that we didn’t win in this riding is just a small part of the bigger picture and the bigger picture is fantastic.” But Garrison ultimately took the Saanich-Esquimalt-Sooke riding by just over 5,000 votes, with Merner finishing second and Green Party’s Frances Litman finishing the evening in third spot followed closely by Conservative Shari Lukens. Garrison said although the NDP was unsuccessful, it did manage to push Prime Minister Stephen Harper out of office. Now, he said, the NDP’s task is to finish some unfinished business. Garrison wants to make sure Liberals bring shipbuilding jobs to this riding – a promise made by the Conservatives – by next year. That wave of support continued for the New Democratic Party, with Alistair MacGregor capturing a large victory in the CowichanMalahat-Langford riding, winning

by roughly 7,000 votes. “I am deeply humbled by the trust you have placed in me … I will work every single day with every ounce of energy I have to keep on earning that trust. It’s a very sacred thing,” MacGregor said. Also enjoying a rather large victory margin was Green Party leader Elizabeth May, leading the Saanich-Gulf Islands riding with almost 24,000 votes. Victoria Green Party candidate Jo-Ann Roberts enjoyed a tight race but ultimately finished second to NDP’s Murray Rankin who took the riding by over 6,500 votes. Rankin, Garrison and MacGregor joined a total of six NDP winners across the Island. But it’s Justin Trudeau who will be returning to 24 Sussex Drive in Ottawa, the official residency of the Prime Minister, completing the first father-son dynasty in Canadian federal government history. After a strong start in Atlantic Canada, the Liberals followed that momentum across the country, taking 184 seats to form the federal government. They were followed by the Conservatives taking 99 seats, the NDP with 44, the Bloc Quebecois with 10 and the Green

Party with one. Trudeau thanked supporters in his Montreal riding Monday night and began preparations to implement his new government policies after nine and a half years of Conservative rule in Ottawa. “For three years we had a very old-fashioned strategy,” Trudeau said. “We met with and talked with as many Canadians as we could, and we listened.” Major commitments by the Liberal campaign include legalizing recreational marijuana sales and running three years of deficits to build infrastructure across the country. Trudeau has also promised to scrap the Conservative government’s approval for the Northern Gateway pipeline and enforce a ban on oil tanker traffic on B.C.’s north coast. The Conservative Party issued a statement that Stephen Harper would resign as leader but would stay on as MP in his Calgary riding, where he won a seventh term. “While tonight’s result is not what we had hoped for, the Canadian people are never wrong,” Harper told supporters, adding his congratulations to Trudeau. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Keeping music in the picture the top priority Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Music Monday is a national initiative that sees thousands of elementary school-aged students singing common songs in unison across the country. On the West Shore, however, the event is largely associated with Maureen Garry, music teacher at David Cameron elementary in Colwood. Well known in the Sooke School District for her passion for music and seemingly never-ending flow of ideas, she’s one of those people who inspires others to reach beyond themselves, from young first-time musicians to her fellow educators. This weekend in Richmond, Garry will receive the B.C. Music Educators Association award for Outstanding Professional Educator (elementary). “She’s got a phenomenal amount of energy. Every time I talk to her there’s a constant smile on her face, and you know it’s very genuine,” says Mandart Chan, Belmont secondary music director and the BCMEA’s first vice-president. He nominated Garry for the award, which recognizes those who make an impact in their district. The inspiration to do so, he says, came following an a-ha moment when he realized how much work she had put in, not only to expand Music Monday, but to promote elementary music education within the district. “Maureen essentially singlehandedly brought together all of the schools and said, ‘let’s do it as a district,’” he says of the massive singalong, during which 2,300 local students from nine schools gathered in The Q Centre this past May. “It was a huge gathering of musical elementary students, a lot of whom had never met each other before that … It was all because Maureen said ‘Hey, why don’t we all get together?’” Garry admits to

Maureen Garry, music teacher at David Cameron elementary school. being “shocked” when she read the email congratulating her as winner of the award, adding it feels good to be nominated by her peers. One of only a couple of elementary music teachers in the district when she began more than eight years ago, she is now part of a network of specialists at more than a dozen SD62 schools who keep music in the picture for every student. As such, she gives much of the credit for Music Monday’s success, and the current

upswing of momentum for music in the schools, to the combined work of educators around the district – and the unwavering support of SD62 superintendent Jim Cambridge. “It’s nice to be recognized for some of the things that I do, but on the other hand, I don’t do these things on my own,” she says. “I look at this as sort of a group award, but I’m sort of a figurehead.” Music Monday was a project Garry got on board with six years ago, when she orga-

nized a singalong in the school gym at David Cameron. Later, her school Skyped during the event with another in Sooke, and another year Colwood elementary students walked over to join in. “Three years ago we were talking about how could we do something that was bigger than that,” she recalls. “I had this idea, and we worked with Sandra Webster-Worthy at the district level, and we talked about busing students in …” The combined effort led to the first mass

arena event in 2014, which Garry calls “a bit of an experiment.” It was broadened to include students playing instruments this year, and the hope is to expand it to middle and high school musicians next year, she says. “For me, it’s kind of magical. Logistically it’s complicated, but once you get the busing and where kids are sitting figured out, it’s really fun.” Garry, a founding member of SD62’s Music Specialist Association, says she’s been around teaching long enough to see ebbs and flows of funding for music in schools. She’s thrilled to be in the middle of an upswing of support, one that has the Sooke School District being recognized as leaders in the field of music education. “We’ve got nice solid programs in our high schools, we’ve got solid programs in all levels now,” she says, noting that for many people

a love of music starts in early grade school. “I want kids to grow up with music being a piece of their life, whether they do it for fun, or play in a band or sing in a choir.” Chan, who has worked alongside Garry on several initiatives over the years,

characterizes her as a mentor to her elementary counterparts and a person who thinks outside the box. “The amount of material she comes in with to share is phenomenal,” he says. “It’s truly inspiring to watch.” editor@goldstream gazette.com

OUR VIEW

Controversial coverage The 2015 election marked a dark chapter in Canadian journalism history. It saw the front pages of many newspapers across our great nation sold as advertisements that looked more like endorsements for one particular political party. A far cry from the unbiased coverage we in the industry pride ourselves on delivering. It is not our job to tell our readers which party to vote for. It is our job to provide all of the information we can so the public can form their own educated opinion. We won’t speculate on who was responsible for that decision, although we suspect it was not made at the local level. We will say that the impression it gave Canadians, that our editorial content can be bought, is a stain on all of us that will not easily be forgotten. It means those papers, and the rest of us, will have to work to regain the trust of our readers - and the trust of our readers is something we do not take lightly. Black Press made the decision early on in this election that no political party would take over our front page news. It is you, our readers that regularly thumb through our pages, taking the time to read our painstakingly crafted prose, that inspire us to pour our hearts into our work everyday. It is the readers that make all of our blood, sweat and tears worth it, and trust us there has been plenty of blood, sweat and tears shed in the process of putting together these pages. The thought of whether or not we have done a person and a story justice keeps us awake at night. Our word choice leaves us perpetually searching for perfect phase, something that we never can seem to find. But most importantly it is your stories, the ones we share with others, that inspire us to keep persevering. We don’t know what the future will hold for the journalism industry, like much of Canada’s political future, it is up in the air until new policies begin to materialize. In the meantime we will continue to hone our craft, carefully abiding by the Canadian Press guidelines that demand accuracy, coherence and the highest level of quality. Without our integrity there will be no future for the journalism industry. What do you think? Give us your comments by email: editor@goldstreamgazette.com or fax 250-478-6545.

As voters we have the right to challenge our politicians and call them on anything we disagree with, that is what makes democracy what it is, but I believe we must also consider and appreciate their fortitude for what it is. I know I have no interest or ability to do what they do and believe it takes a special type of personality to do the work they do on such a public stage. That also goes for their supporters, their teams of staff and volunteers, some who are young family members whom sacrificed equally behind the scenes because they too, believe so deeply in their cause. Without those that don’t make it, there isn’t those who do, there would be no democracy. The reality is many who lost will look elsewhere for work, while some may never work on another campaign again. There may not be 100 per cent security for any job, but I for one, go back to work today with more security than those working on political campaigns will ever know. It is a deep sacrifice they make at all levels of government, with no guarantee of anything at the end of a hard-fought race. My hat is off to those that were elected and equally so to those that weren’t. Your sacrifice to make democracy what it is has my heart, and I thank you, even if I didn’t vote for you.

The contract calls for detailed engineering design of this projects’ intersection of West Shore Parkway, continuing south to Sooke Road.

This phase of the West Shore Parkway Segment 1 will be funded through the city’s road program with an addition two-thirds funding from the New Building Canada Infrastructure Grant. “It was not based on cost,” said Langford’s Director of Engineering, Michelle Mahovlich. “It was based on a series of six factors.” The primary reason for the number one ranking for Tetra Tech included their local presence, experience on local projects, experience on Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure projects, competitive fee and appropriate level of effort for both design and field inspection services, states

West Shore news

… through the decades

An acclimation of the mayor and council of an entire municipality, the opening of the West Shore Child, Youth and Family Centre, the stench of a public works compost operation forcing a resident to drain her swimming pool, a 14-year-old Colwood girl facing drug charges and more are among the headlines pulled from the files of past Goldstream News Gazette articles going back three decades.

2005 There will be no voting for politicians in the upcoming municipal election in View Royal. Incumbent mayor Graham Hill will be acclaimed to a second term while all four candidates nominated, from incumbents John Rogers, Geri Anderson and David Screech and paramedic Andrew Britton will be acclaimed. The only thing View Royal voters can vote on in this election is a referendum question on whether they want to accept secondary suites in View Royal. The West Shore Child, Youth and Family Centre opening its doors in the West Shore. The 37,000 square-foot facility is a one-stop location for 11 social services organizations including the Ministry of Children and Family Development, The Vancouver Island Health Authority and the Pacific Centre Family Services Association. Colwood resident Teresa Collins, emptied her backyard swimming pool this year because the stench of the Colwood’s public

works compost operation is keeping her indoors. She has been complaining to council for six years saying the operation makes her nauseous and keeps her from any outdoor activities including swimming and gardening, which she loves to do but feels she can’t because of the odour.

Rocks taken from a Trans-Canada Highway construction zone had JJM Construction Ltd’s area manager steaming. He said blast rock is taken by people wanting to make flower beds or landscape their property claiming the thefts have added up to approximately $70,000 of rock stolen.

The Sooke school district is cleaning up its act after violating 22 regulations governing the storage of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB’s) said the districts facilities supervisor Jim Nathorst. The school district was caught running afoul of rules during a Environment Canada inspection. Infractions included not storying ballasts, containing the chemical compound in its capacitors, in drums, housing flammable materials in the PCB storage facility and drums not being stored on movable pallets. A 14-year-old Colwood girl will appear in court to face drug charges. The adolescent was arrested and charged with trafficking marijuana and possession for the purpose of trafficking. Taken into custody, she was later let go with orders specifying she could not go to Langford’s Kinsmen or Centennial Parks, leave school property on days she goes to school and to abstain from drinking alcohol or consuming street drugs and is bound by a court-ordered curfew.

Sooke teachers vote today on whether to being an all out workto-rule campaign. The move comes after the School District 62 board’s rejection of a tentative agreement between the Sooke Teachers Association, the boards bargaining committee and Ed Lien, the mediator appointed by compensation stabilization commissioner Ed Peck. Saanich firefighter, and Colwood fire trustee Ed Bradford swept to victory taking 684 of 1292 total votes cast in the byelection to replace Conrad Adams who resigned from Colwood council. A student walk out meant to protest the teacher school dispute was narrowly averted at Edward Milne secondary school. Upset over announced escalation of the teachers work-torule campaign and the potential effects on student activities, students discussed a full-scale lockout. Cooler heads prevailed when members of student council persuaded students to return to their classrooms. Complied by Arnold Lim

Clubman pushes

Mini to the max STOCKHOLM, Sweden - It’s hard to stand out in this stylish city full of blondes, boats and boutique prices but a shapely rear end helps. The 2016 Mini Clubman’s caboose earned its share of stares during a recent debut on the streets of Stockholm. This third-generation Clubman is the biggest Mini yet, taking the famous BMW-owned brand from “subcompact” to “premium compact” territory. It would have been easy to mess this assignment up: Upsize an odd-duck subcompact model (the previous Clubman, with its bizarre fifth “suicide door” layout), add a host of roomy creature comforts, religiously adhere to the spunky personality of the car, and make it look like a Mini. Thankfully, the Mini-ons were up to the task. They started with a new chassis, shared with BMW’s front-wheel-drive 2-Series Active Tourer. The look is lower, longer, and wider but the front of the car remains resolutely smiley-face Mini. As the elongated roof stretches over the four full doors and begins to taper, however, things become interesting. The new Clubman is pleasantly twofaced - the trademark “barn doors” combine with sheet-metal and taillight curves to give the rear an arresting “I’m-watching-you” look.

DrivewayCanada.ca |

Gord Scott

All of this design work has one aim - more cupholders. Well, not really. It’s about making it possible to fit in four of your friends or family, plus some luggage. Project leader Ernst Fricke proudly proclaimed that the Clubman can “be used as the first car in the family.” The interior certainly lives up to the premium label, and the dash, steering wheel and heads-up display fairly bristle with infotainment connectivity. The presence of a real console (yes, cupholders and storage) comes courtesy of the use of an electric parking brake, and adds unprecedented (for Mini) elbow room. Lots of very cool LED lighting would help ward off some of the inevitable blues brought on by long, dark Swedish winters. The front seats (electric is an option) offer just the right amount of bolstering for go-kart moves, and legroom is fine for an almost-six-footer. A short ride aft revealed almost un-Mini-like room for backseat drivers, although road noise and roughness seemed more

Visit the Mini Clubman gallery at DrivewayCanada.ca pronounced than up front. Trunk volume with the rear seats folded down is listed at about 44 cubic feet (compared to the Volkswagen Golf Sportwagon’s cavernous 66.5 cubic feet), and there is an optional threeway splitting rear seat back to juggle loads. The barn doors allow plenty of access for those Ikea boxes, and get even more fun with the optional easy-opener feature. With the key in your pocket, one kick under the rear bumper opens the right door, another kick opens the left. Chances are most shopping trips will only require a single kick at the Clubman’s can to stow the stuff. The Clubman shares engine choices with the rest of the Mini clan; a base three-cylinder with 102 horsepower, the Cooper’s three-cylinder at 136

horsepower, or the Cooper S’s fourcylinder with 192. Transmission choices are the six-speed manual, or a new eight-speed automatic. BMW’s usual arsenal of road-conquering technologies are either built in or are available. The Stockholm area presented a few challenges. Firstly, it is city of 14 islands, with hundreds more nearby. This means a lot of water, which means a lot of bridges - and a good number of ferries. The rolling, lake-studded Canadian Shield-like landscape northeast of Stockholm does present inviting stretches - but the tempting country roads are home to the very vigilant police force, and dreaded Blue Meanies. Once the Clubman broke free from these constraints, its inner go-kart

was revealed. There was never any doubt that there was more Mini than usual to throw around, but fun could be summoned - especially with Sport mode selected. The manual certainly kept it real, but the automatic really needed to be in its own Sport mode to simulate the experience. This new six-door strikes a nice compromise between Mini mania and multitasking. Like the car, the families who take delivery after the Clubman shows up in showrooms early next year are growing out, not up. The Mini Cooper Clubman starts at $24,990, the Mini Cooper S Clubman at $28,990. Of course, these being Minis means infinite (almost) options and individualization, which would take you north of that pretty quickly.

Haunting and emotional is the way Maestro Norman Nelson described Bartók’s Viola Concerto and he is overjoyed at the thought of working with viola soloist Rae Gallimore. Gallimore will be performing the overpowering Viola Concerto with the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra on Oct. 24 and 25. The fall concerts of the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra take place Saturday, Oct. 24 at the Sooke Community Hall and Sunday, Oct. 25 at Our Lady of the Rosary Church on Goldstream Avenue in Langford. Both concerts begin at 7:30 p.m. Featured soloist, Gallimore, won the Don Chrysler Concerto Competition last April, and is no stranger to Sooke and Metchosin audiences.

Judges are professional musicians at the top of their fields. The winner receives the opportunity to perform his or her concerto or song cycle with the Sooke Philharmonic Orchestra. Also on the program is the well-known Symphony No. 9 by Dvorák, popularly known as the New World Symphony. This symphony was written during Dvorák’s stay in the U.S., and was in part inspired by some of the African-American music he heard. It is one of the

Clef d’or "Best in Class" Family Owned, Family Operated, Family Values

Every Saturday morning the Blondeau-Johnston family packs their skating gear into their bags, loads the car and heads to their 6:30 a.m. speed skating practice at the Archie Browning Arena in Esquimalt. After the hour-long practice is over, they pile into the car again and head to their home in Metchosin. It is routine for the family of four — Chris, Jane and their two children Morgan, 13, and Catriona, 11, who also practice on Tuesday and Thursday nights. The sport has become a family affair (they are known as the Von Trapp family of skaters) since joining the Esquimalt Speed Skating Club two years ago. After a couple of free practices, they decided to come as a family. Unlike some sports where parents drive their children and sit in the bleachers and watch, Chris and Jane were looking for sports in which the entire family could participate. “I feel it's important for our kids to see that mom and dad can be beginners at something too. We all started as beginners and we've moved and progressed together over the last year-and-a-half or so,” said Chris, who moved to Victoria from Quebec 25 years ago. “Here we all learn together.” Practice also allows the busy family to spend some much-need time together since both parents have hectic professional lives. Chris works at Pearson College, while Jane is a realtor. “We wouldn't come out at 6 a.m. on Sunday morning if we didn't think that it was worthwhile for the whole family,” Jane said. “It's my only moment of sanity when I don't have a phone. What's interesting is seeing our kids and us given the opportunity to focus on one individual thing without a distraction — without TV or computers.” Of course, there is a bit of friendly-competitiveness, especially between Morgan and Catriona who enjoy the quick pace of the sport and tease each other on-ice. According to Ian Phillips, president of the club, speed skating is taken up by many local families as a way to spend time together. “There's very few sports where the entire family can participate,” he said. “With speed skating, the mom, dad and kids can come out and do their thing. It has that aspect that a lot of other sports don't have.” The Esquimalt Speed Skating Club is celebrating its 50th anniversary this season and are looking for new members. The first few practices are free for people thinking about joining. For more information call Phillips at 250-474-1491. The club is also hosting an open house at the Archie Browning Arena on Nov. 17 at 6 p.m., for its anniversary, which will include a skate, food and refreshments. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Six athletes and two builders were honoured for their sustained bodies of athletic work, with their induction into the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame. One of six athletes welcomed into the Hall at a gala dinner last weekend at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa, former Olympic marathoner Bruce Deacon put the honour eloquently: “Unlike a trophy, which represents the accomplishment of a day, this represents the efforts of a life and tens of thousands of miles of training and racing.” Elaine Dagg-Jackson, honoured as a builder for her work developing curling in Greater Victoria, became serious as a player in the 1980s, turned her hand to coaching in the early 1990s and has earned medals from virtually every level of championship in women’s curling. A national level coach since 2004, Dagg-Jackson emphasized that helping get young people involved in activities such as curling is critical to helping build a healthy society. “Sport matters,” she said, repeating the phrase to end her acceptance speech. Builder inductee Ed Ashmore got involved coaching wrestling at the Victoria YMCA in 1964 when the regular coach was injured. Ashmore never looked back, having coached hundreds of school-aged students in the sport since, many of whom went on to provincial, national or international success. Still a driving force behind the Victoria Commonwealth Bulldogs wrestling club at 81, the spry coach told the 200 or so guests at the gala, “The kids gave everything they had and they gave back love.” Despite living in Victoria with its temperate climate, downhill skier Lauren Woolstencroft became one of the most decorated skiers in Paralympic history. Having already won a number of medals in international events including the 2002 and 2006 Paralympics, she demolished the competition at the 2010 Winter Games in Whistler, winning gold in all five events in which she raced. Rick Say, the most decorated swimmer in Canadian history with 27 international medals, is in the next stage of his life, driving a Zamboni at a local recreation centre and married with a young child. In accepting his induction into the Hall, he said, “I feel honoured to have had the experience of sports, but my focus now is on my family.” Long-time target rifle shooter Alexander “Sandy” Peden has spent as much time promoting his sport and developing young shooters as competing, but enters the Hall as an athlete. He used the opportunity of addressing the gala crowd to educate people about the history of the shooting sports for Canadians. Retired left-handed professional baseball pitcher, who spent brief stretches with the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, after he thought his pro career was over, had a vocal support group at the gala. He wound up his acceptance speech with some inspirational words originally spoken to his young son and daughter, neither of whom had been born when he was playing pro. “Dreams are attainable … Believe in yourself and you can do great things.” Not only was the gala dinner held at the Westin for a second straight year, the Hall of Fame’s relationship with Bear Mountain has also been strengthened.

Friday, October October 23, 23, 2015 2015 -- GOLDSTREAM GOLDSTREAM NEWS NEWS GAZETTE GAZETTE Friday,

Mark your calendar: Harlem Crowns play Bulldogs The game is... Clownball and it’s a new game every night. Probably no other word in the language better describes the type of basketball played by the Harlem Crowns. It is true they go through set gags and regular comic routines, but every game is different. This Friday (Oct. 23), the Belmont senior boys basketball team, the Bulldogs, is hosting the Harlem Crowns for what should prove to be an exciting and entertaining game. The Crowns come every second year and the games always sell out. Tickets can be purchased from any senior boys basketball player around Belmont or by emailing: belmontwestshorebball@gmail.com. Tickets are $10. Tip-off is at 7:30 p.m. and a preliminary kids’ game tips at 6:15 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m. at Belmont secondary school, 3041 Langford Lake Road.

Catharine Pendrel hit the course in last year’s Bear Crossing at Bear Mountain. The two-time mountain bike cross-country World Champion (2011 and 2014) is also a podium favourite for the 2016 Summer Olympics. Photo contributed

What better place to mountain bike, than on a mountain. The wheels continue to turn as Bear Mountain’s biking amenities continue to grow with a new track opening, and duo events coming to the popular resort and golf destination that may one day be known as much for their cycling as they are their golfing. “The cool thing ... is there is two events happening and happening on different spectrum of the cycling world,” Bear Mountain cycling manager Rob Fawcett said. “If you have any interest in cycling it is a neat way to see diverse use of the bikes and these two sub cultures sharing their passion for cycling.” The two events start with the second annual Bear Crossing, which returns to the resort as a fixture on Vancouver Island’s Cross on the Rock cyclocross

nity to come up to Bear Mountain and check out what we have to offer,” Fawcett said. “With runners, they get that runners high, with mountain biking it is almost a sense of flying, you don’t leave the ground but you get the feeling of flow.” In addition to the two events and the Family Flow Trail, a 10 km Canada Cup Trail is expected to be ready for the for the first race of the Canada Cup Season on March 5, 2016. The Union of Cycling International sanctioned race is an Olympic-style six-lap course that will give points towards the Rio de Janeiro 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Brazil and draw the national team for a two-week training camp. Registration for Bear Crossing starts 10 a.m. alongside a beginner clinic, with races starting at 11 a.m. and amJAM runs noon to 6 p.m. with a professional dirt jump demonstration at 5 p.m. For more information on amJAM, visit bearmountain. ca and for more information on Bear Crossing visit crossontherock.com. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

series after drawing approximately 350 participants in 2014 and with more than 400 expected this year. On top of the growing cyclocross competition, this years event will see the addition of the first annual amJAM, a judged amateur dirt jumping event developed by bike park designer Jordie Lunn. “I think the key is our trails are going to be unique, especially for Southern Vancouver Island, we have the only machine built flow trails,” Fawcett continued. “This is the only area where you are going to have a family-friendly flow trail give someone getting into mountain biking a sense to get a sense of ‘flow.’” On top of the two competitions, Fawcett said they are officially debuting Bike Park Avenue, a route from the Westin down to the bike park, a portion of the Family Flow Trail, which runs parallel to the current, multi-use Highlands trail running through the valley golf course. This section of the bike park will eventually be part of a 5 km route upon full build out. “I think it is a great opportu-

How many varieties of apples can you name? Well, there will be a few hundred different varieties of heritage and modern apples on display this weekend. The B.C. Fruit Testers Fall Fruit Show runs this Saturday and Sunday at the West Shore Town Centre. You can even bring in your own apples and have them identified by one of the experts. Simply pick, with the stem still attached, four to six of the largest specimens from your tree. Keep them unwashed and unpolished as those attributes can be identifying characteristics and store them in a paper bag. Bring them to the show and learn more about what’s growing in your own backyard.

West Shore goes for gold at CARE Awards Arnold Lim News Gazette Staff

If awards are any indication, the West Shore construction scene is alive and well. More than 50 awards presented at the Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence (CARE) Awards of Vancouver Island featured the best of the West Coast design and construction from up and down Vancouver Island including strong projects in the West Shore. Casey Edge, executive director of the Victoria Residential Builders Association who put on the awards, said not only is the West Shore on the map, in some categories, they are the standard bearers. “(Our awards) are about professionalism and not just expensive homes, or dream homes, it is also affordable family communities,” he said. “The West Shore is actually a leader in the Capital Regional District (CRD) in terms or creating affordable family communities and the homes highlighted in the CARE Awards show that you can build homes beautifully - and with energy efficiency and affordability.” Edge said builders like Parsi Development Ltd. and The Limona Group, both of whom took home gold CARE Awards in best Single Family Detached Spec Home, under 2,500 square feet, and Green Builder of the year respectively, actively build here and represent the best in style, design, construction and environmental standards. But another area he said local construction benefits from working here is the expediency of local municipalities. “The West Shore has been an innovator in a number of areas. As an example it is one of the most efficient communities to build in which also contributes to affordable timelines

Harmony, in the Piano Project in Langford was one of several West Shore properties to take gold at the 2015 Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence (CARE) Awards on Oct. 17. The ceremony by the Victoria Residential Builders Association recognized an array of builders, renovators, designers, trades and suppliers, several for projects in the West Shore. for developers,” Edge said. “Specifically Langford is really the standard that other communities are compared to in terms of getting building permits development applications (and more).” Developer Moji Shahab, director of Parsi Development Ltd. who built out the award-winning first phase of the Piano Project on Happy Valley Rd. in Langford, said working here has yielded important benefits not only to himself, but the communities in which he builds. “We have an extremely good experience with Langford, it is perfect, they are very

accommodating and they are (both) professional, realistic and they are on time for you all the time,” he said. “So they are helping us to shape up the housing aspect of the community.” Shahab, said he plans to add 40 more houses to the potentially three-phase Piano Project with another 187-unit condo project on the corner of Latoria and Veteran’s Memorial Parkway in Colwood on the way. The award-winning developer said making these affordable homes for the community, while concentrating on keeping them green and affordable is important

for him as a developer. Shahab said he enjoys building projects aimed at helping young families and not just the affluent, into the housing market. “We do care and that is the focus of our attention and the Piano Project is concentrating on energy efficiency and first-time home buyers by being modern and stylish and also flexible and affordable,” he said. The CARE Awards took place at the Fairmont Empress Hotel Oct. 17, for more information including a full list of all winners, visit careawards.ca alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Did you know?

Creating a drought tolerant garden can save time and money With the hot and dry weather experienced last summer, homeowners may want to consider using more drought-resistant plants in their landscaping. n A drought-tolerant or drought-resistant plant can survive with very little, if any artificial watering or irrigation once it is established. Native plants flourish in our ecosystem, characterized by dry summers and wet winters. n Garry Oak meadow ecosystems, including the trees, flowers and grasses that naturally live in them, are adapted to survive in our dry summers. They actually do most of their growing in winter: oaks increase their roots and bulbs send up the following year’s shoots. In summer, they go dormant; that’s why they can survive on so little water during the warmest months. n Native plants, such as Oregon Grape, Snowberry, native grasses and flowers thrive once established in our gardens, helping to strengthen our native ecosystems. This helps our region practice good water conservation habits, protect park ecology and care for our watersheds. Native plants also create corridors of habitat and food sources for beneficial insects and wildlife. For more information go to: www.crd.bc.ca/education/natural gardening
