Colwood hires a permanent boss for city Economical nationwide search yields dozens of applicants Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Katherine Engqvist/News Gazette staff

Dale Davies is surrounded by grandsons Jacob, 3, Tristen, 8, and Linden, 7, and a pair of massive balls of copper wire in his workshop. The group is attempting to create the world’s largest snowman made entirely using the metal. They’re primarily stripping the copper out of old strings of Christmas lights.

From recycling project to record attempt Holiday fun for the entire family that lasts all year Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

A dim light casts a glow over the plywood walls of a West Shore work-

shop. Dale Davies stands in the yellow light, a black leather vest providing little warmth over his blue t-shirt in the cool fall air. But his eyes sparkle like twinkle lights as he pulls back the lid on a tub to reveal the brightly coloured bulbs it contains. He points to several more neatly stacked on shelves. He collects discarded strings of lights, the kind that fill garages col-

lecting dust and forming knots that many have long since abandoned any attempts at untangling. Davies collects these old lights, carefully breaking them down and recycling the pieces. Some would call it a labour of love. Davies laughs and calls it a lot of work. PlEASE SEE: Unknown record, Page A7

The City of Colwood has hired a new chief administrative officer, its fifth permanent or interim CAO since 2012. Ian Howat replaces interim CAO Gary Nason, who has been serving in the position since April 1. Howat takes up the post on Dec. 7 after finishing his duties as general manager of corporate services with the City of Nanaimo. He has also served as chief administrator for three other Vancouver Island communities: Ucluelet, Tofino and Lantzville. Howat was selected after a nationwide recruitment process which began in May. Rather than contracting an external company to vet potential applicants, the City opted to have Nason and another retired CAO co-ordinate the search. Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton said taking that step saved the City a considerable amount of money. She estimated a professional head-hunting firm would have charged roughly $30,000, but by keeping it in house they spent an estimated $5,000 on the project. The search yielded more than 90 applicants. “It was a pretty respectful showing,” Hamilton said, adding that many of the applicants were known to staff. “You’re getting built-in references. Coming out of this we’ve got a pretty good sense.” She said a lot more than just experience goes into selecting a successful applicant. “We’re really looking to find … someone to fit the family.” Hamilton said Howat will make a good addition to the team. “Council has plans, the City has plans – we’re trying to mesh those plans. It’s really going to be a good partnership.” While Hamilton couldn’t disclose details of Howat’s contract, she did say they expect to get “some good years of service” from him. “It’s good to keep the train on the tracks,” she said. She also noted his salary is consistent with comparably sized cities in the region. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Please support the 2015 Poppy Campaign REMEMBRANCE DAY – NOVEMBER 11TH

The Poppy Our Silent Reminder -– The Reminder of Sacrifice On November 11th, Canadians all across the country will stop to remember the men and women killed in wars. That is why November 11th is called Remembrance Day. But what about those who can’t remember Canada’s wars? Let’s take a look at the theme: “If you can’t remember.. think....What does this really mean? In the first place, there are more Canadians today than at any time in this century who cannot remember war. Imperfect though the peace has been, it is much better than war. So when we THINK about the poppy, we might be reminded that Canadians died liberating Europe created a World a little better than the one they knew. We might also THINK of where Canadians first found poppies. In the First World War, the soldiers noticed that the red poppies often grew over the graves of their friends. They remembered this later when peace

Poppy Campaign DONATIONS are placed in public trust funds. Campaign donations received last years exceeded $80,000. Let’s try to surpass that! Some of the many ways these funds were used to improve life for people living in the Western Communities include:

• VETERANS FACILITIES & BENEFITS • EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE • TRANSPORT OF VETERANS • WELCOME HOME VETERANS • MOBILITY EQUIPMENT • BURSARIES, University/College • POSTER & LITERARY CONTESTS, Elementary Schools / High Schools • CADET UNITS • FOOD VOUCHERS & SICK and VISITING

What Does The Poppy Fund Do? 1. It cares for the emergency welfare of Western Communities Ex-Service personnel, widows and their dependents, in situations caused by unforeseen circumstances. THEY RECEIVE IMMEDIATE ASSISTANCE FOR FOOD, RENT, CLOTHING, MEDICAL AND DENTAL, HYDRO, HEATING OIL AND TRANSPORTATION. 2. It can assist with the construction, maintenance, repair and furnishing of Social Housing, including Long Term Care facilities for elderly and disabled persons. 3. It can allot funds for community medical appliances and research. 4. It provides a remembrance opportunity, through your donation, to say: “ YES, I CARE TOO”

came. Another thing to THINK about is that by the time thousands of young Canadians went to war, Europe was in slavery. They died liberating millions of people. They also died so that we here today could continue to enjoy the freedom which we have. They died so that your home would be safe; so that you would be given the chance to attend schools and churches of your choice. They also died for your right to make friendships with whomever or wherever you pleased. You might THINK about this for a moment: their desire that you live in peace and freedom was more important to them than life itself. But the poppy is not all in the past. It has a lot to do with you and the future. The poppy asks you to THINK of how you can work for peace and a better country. It invites you to THINK about your freedom. Therefore the poppy finally asks you to THINK about your responsibility, be it in your classroom, your home, your community or your profession. The poppy urges you to use peace to help mankind: to promote a more lasting peace, understanding above all the dignity of man everywhere. The Canadians who died believed in a better future. It is up to YOU to work for this future. If you do, you will have remembered.... Every year at this time, we as a nation pause to honour the sacrifices and achievements of those who have served Canada, those who have returned home from service and, sadly, those who did not. Wear a Poppy and let’s all help to educate and pass on this tradition of remembrance to our future generations. Remember, November 11th at the Langford Cenotaph, bring your children, and take a moment to reflect on what it means and the sacrifice it honours. Making a difference within our communities is another way we are able to stand up and be counted. Special Use Expenditures gives the Legion the opportunity to reach out and make the community that We live in a better place. It is who we are. It is what we do. It is why Legionnaires and their Branches are often the centre of so many communities within our Command.

We are always getting requests for financial assistance. The only way we can achieve the goals we set forth every year is to get as much help from OUR COMMUNITY and of course OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP. So when a Legionnaire arrives at your business door, or you see them offering poppies at various West Shore locations, PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. And if there is a West Shore business that has not been approached and wishes to assist by having a poppy tray at their location, PLEASE CONTACT the LEGION POPPY OFFICE. This year the Poppy Campaign will start on Friday October 30 and end on November 10th. As every year we desperately need your help manning various locations. We ask for two-hour shifts. The more volunteers we have the less for multiple shifts. Most of our volunteers are the same people who help every year. We would like to see more new faces helping this year. This year we need volunteers more than ever. As always the cadets will be there to help us, but WE NEED YOU TO HELP US HELP OTHERS. And, for OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP, We need your help. Langford Branch No.91 and the Poppy Campaign Committee would like to ask YOU to step forward and VOLUNTEER for this year’s campaign. We cannot support our Veterans and their dependants, as well as the many community groups, without a successful POPPY DRIVE. If you want to VOLUNTEER, leave your name and phone number at the Branch Office at 250-478-1828. PLEASE VOLUNTEER.

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Hockey official and Belmlont secondary student Matt Williams stands in front of a fundraising board he’s set up in the school to keep track of moneys raised for cancer research. Bingo for Bucks runs until Oct. 31.

Pink on your skate laces or stick tape is not a sign of weakness, but a definite sign of strength of character. For some junior hockey players on the West Shore, wearing pink is also a show of support for Matt Williams and his “Bingos for Bucks” campaign, which aims to raise funds for cancer research. Williams, a Grade 12 student at Belmont secondary, is hoping every student at the school donates $1 to the campaign, which runs until the end of October. A cancer survivor who was diagnosed with leukemia in 2009, Williams is in remission now, but knows cancer touches almost everyone. “This was something easy for me to get behind,” he said. “I think all of us on the board with names in pink are affected by a friend or family member.” Williams is a junior hockey official and with his connections in junior and minor hockey, he is asking forwards and defencemen to donate $10 for every goal or assist. His goal is to raise $1,258 from the school students. With the hockey players he has already raised around $300. It’s a tough grind though. “We’re making a push here,” he said. “I’ll keep pushing, I set a goal and there is still 10 days to reach it.” He said many students don’t have any extra cash, so he encourages them to go out to the games and support and cheer the players on. All of the money raised will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. When Williams graduates he hopes to go into criminology and become a police officer, or more specifically a member of the emergency response team for the RCMP. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Unknown record up for grabs when he makes that trip, sorting as he goes. But it’s not just strands of lights he collects, he’ll take almost anything containing the precious wire, as long as it’s not too small or too big. “My fingers pray for extension cords.” He laughs as he wrings his hands. He hasn’t kept count, but estimates 500 strings at least have gone through the process so far.

“It’s all stripped by hand,” he says as he stands in his workshop besides two large spools of copper wire salvaged from these strings. If he succeeds in collecting enough, Davies and his grandsons will try to build the world’s largest snowman made of copper wire. “Where else in Victoria can you build a snowman?” While he says “This just keeps no current record for my mind busy such a creation exists in the Guinness World and off the pain Records book, he figures … Sometimes it it will take them at least another year to collect works, sometimes it and roll enough wire to doesn’t.” have the record added. – Dale Davies “It was just to see how much I could get,” he It’s a process that could also be says. “You might as well shoot considered therapy for Davies, for the stars.” But now the project has taken who has had six back surgeries on a whole new level. “A lot of and suffers from chronic pain. these lights, especially the old “This just keeps my mind busy school ones, were going to the and off the pain … Sometimes dump.” He shakes his head as it works, sometimes it doesn’t.” When he’s been on his feet he speaks. “This is the stuff they can’t recycle (as is).” Concerned for too long, he takes his work about how many strings were inside. He takes his tub filled ending up in the dump, he began with shorter pieces and sits or focusing his efforts on collecting lays in front of the television them, breaking them down and while he painstakingly splices the bits and pieces into one long recycling the pieces. He’s created hand-shaped line. This part of the operation blocks with grooves to help strip requires a technique comparathe plastic casing away from the ble to braiding. His fingers work precious copper wires that he’s feverishly over the thin wires, outfitted his shop with. When twisting them upwards and over, he has enough for a load, he tying a knot and braiding some takes all of the discarded bits more. Previously spooled lines sit and bulbs to the dump to be recycled. His first trip was a bit glistening in the dim shop light of a learning experience, he says before being added to the two with a laugh. Upon his arrival, large copper balls resting on a staff informed him that the small wooden table. The heavier roughly 30 garbage bags he had of the two, Davies estimates, brought needed to be sorted, weighs almost 300 pounds while the smaller one tips the scales at which was quite the process. Now he’s properly prepared just over 100 lbs.

Under the table, which sags slightly in the middle with the weight, are two more tubs filled with copper fluff. This metallic material is actually pieces of wire too small to be spliced together – their texture gives the illusion of copper-coloured hay. Davies hasn’t quite figured out what to do with these bits, but he’s working on a way to incorporate them into the snowman’s arms. He predicts the final result will weigh around 1,100 lbs. “But then I forgot the hat,” he says with a grin. Every snowman has to have a hat. Davies’ grandsons Tristen, 8, Linden, 7, and Jacob, 3, come running into the shop, possibly more excited to see what progress has been made than their grandfather. The cousins bounce excitedly as they examine the balls and shriek with joy when they discover pennies inlaid to keep tension in the wire. “I’m the one that rolls them,” Tristen says, looking particularly proud of himself. “This is the one I started.” He points to the bigger of the two balls. “It’s hard.” The boys love spending time with their grandfather and are excited about “being in the Guinness Book of World Records,” the youngster Tristen. Another grandson, Jace, 10, who wasn’t there on that particular day, is also lending a hand in the family’s project. Even if they don’t succeed in creating a record snowman, the attempt will be worth more than the weight of copper.

OUR VIEW

Liberal cabinet a good test case Prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has vowed to have an equal gender split in his cabinet, to be announced next week. That declaration plays well into this Friday’s (Oct. 30) panel discussion at Royal Roads University, entitled Women Leading Change, seemingly a play on the “Real Change” campaign slogan of Trudeau’s Liberals. The panelists and keynote speaker, all women, have each held positions of leadership and most have studied the topic at length. We look forward to hearing the tone of the discussion and how they believe life experiences can help women shape leadership practises, including those in government, moving forward. As expected, not everyone was thrilled with Trudeau’s decision to create an even split in his cabinet. On social media, some criticized him, pointing out that it may be irresponsible to not install the best candidate for each post. Historically, as female political veterans can attest, that hasn’t always happened as the old boys’ network has tended to dominate. The numbers from last week’s federal election were moderately encouraging. Eightyeight women were elected, or 26 per cent of the total of 338 seats. While that’s 12 more female voices in the house – representing about 40 per cent of the 30 new ridings – it’s barely higher than the 25 per cent in the previous Parliament. Nonetheless, it was good to see more women running. Among the big three parties, the NDP had the closest to a gender split. Of its 338 candidates, 146 (43.2 per cent) were women, and 18 of its elected MPs (40.9 per cent) are female. The Liberals will have the most women, 50, in Parliament, or roughly 27 per cent of their total of 184 MPs. The Conservatives lagged well behind, with just 17.2 per cent of its 99 seats (17 MPs) to be held by women. Balancing the cabinet is a bold move by Trudeau and makes a statement unparalleled in Canadian federal government history. In doing so he is showing faith and trust in the abilities of women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to show what they can do. We’re confident these newcomers will shine when put in positions of leadership, even under the harsh glare of the old guard. What do you think?

BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But B.C. Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay. North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments. Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care. Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame. I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

LETTERS

Write to us

Editorial accepted, columnist is not I will assume the words in the “Our View” in the Oct. 23 Gazette entitled “Controversial coverage” are sincere. I believe that the author believes sleep is lost by some of your writers and editors over the use of the correct turn of phrase, and appropriately balanced reporting, and that your writers “pour your hearts out” for your readers to maintain trust. I will also accept that you did not sell the full front page of any Black Press publications to candidates or parties during the election in order to separate your publication from any perception of bias based upon party affiliations.

And finally, I will accept that the editorial page of your papers is not the front page and often contains opinions, rather than facts. However, I don’t know if it is just me, but it does give me considerable pause each time I happen to glance at Tom Fletcher’s B.C. Views column (which I do less and less in recent years) and I find his onesided, biased, anti-NDP, antiunion, right wing, pro-business, pro-fossil fuel rhetoric. Yes, his column appears on the editorial page. But at the end of each column his credentials indicate he is “legislative reporter” for Black Press.

How can anything he writes on other pages of Black Press publications possibly be taken as non-biased reporting, when his columns are filled with vitriolic, biased points of view that have little to do with reporting, and often enough, questionably to do with reality? Arthur Entlich Metchosin Editor’s note: While West Shore-based stories from Tom Fletcher are rare in our print edition, readers can find his legislature-based reporting on provincial goings-on on a regular basis in the News category on our website at goldstreamgazette. com.

Loss of Belmont skate park lamented Oct. 13 was a sad day for the youth and young families on the West Shore who have enjoyed the skateboard park for many years. This park beside the old Belmont school has provided many years of challenge, entertainment and a place for the kids to hang out and socialize. Today, as we drove by, we saw machines breaking up the concrete and demolishing the park. Later, we saw youth standing amidst the rubble looking like they were in the middle of a war zone, searching for something precious to salvage. What a shame this skateboard park wasn’t saved until a new one could be built. I wonder why there was such a hurry to get rid of it and why it wasn’t incorporated into the plan for this commercial area. Parks and places for our kids to play go well with shopping malls.

Hockey, fair and other perks await an ailing Hannah Day Providing some happiness for terminal cancer patient aim of dream Toronto trip Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Toronto has a very special guest this week. Canada’s Wonderland theme park, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, the Toronto Zoo and even the Toronto Maple Leafs will get a visit from terminally ill cancer patient Hannah Day. With the assistance of the Help Fill a Dream Foundation, the sixyear-old West Shore resident will enjoy a holiday that the non-profit organization’s board hopes she won’t soon forget. “Our mandate is to help children with life-threatening illnesses and Hannah Day fits right in,” said board vice-president Jaime Adams. “We’ve had the dream request and it was approved for quite a while, but it has been up to the doctor as to whether she could travel.” The trip to Toronto was booked then cancelled twice already because the young girl, whose rare chemotherapyinduced leukemia was deemed terminal in May, became ill again. Without medical clearance to go, Day and her family waited patiently for the right time – doctors gave them the green light Friday.

Clutching her gift backpack from the Help Fill A Dream Foundation, Hannah Day, 6, is all smiles on the airplane heading to Toronto, after being given the green light to make the trip last week. “Her mouth dropped wide open; she was in shock,” Brooke Ervin said last week, describing her daughter hearing the news. “It dropped more open when she (found out) she would see the Maple Leafs – because she’s a big hockey fan.” Ervin said Hannah’s favourite thing in the entire world is the fair. “And she was shocked she would go to one of the biggest in Canada.” Help Fill a Dream Foundation covered the cost of airfare, included an additional $840

for incidental travel costs, and provided $200 for gifts for Hannah, who has battled cancer for most of her young life. She was scheduled to receive more treatment on the day the family flew to Toronto, but Ervin said they decided instead to take the opportunity for a family vacation as a way to preserve Hannah’s happiness. “This was our last chance to go on this trip because Wonderland closes on Oct. 31. So we put all treatment on hold …,” Ervin said. “At this point in time we prefer quality of life. She has no clue (about her diagnosis) and talked about her birthday next year. It is hard for me to hear those things … and as you know treatment is no longer working for us. We prefer to give her this special gift that she deserves.” While her weight has dropped to 27 pounds, Hannah’s spirits are high, Ervin said, and it is hard to tell how ill she is based on how she runs and plays as if she is healthy. Ervin voiced gratefulness to the foundation, which Adams said is here to help local families. “Their family is going through significant turmoil financially and this will take everything away for a week and allow them to be a family and enjoy every moment of this,” she said. “(We want to) bring a smile to Hannah’s face and take away the moments of being scared, moments at the hospital, and let them be a family again.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

EcoStar Awards broaden their reach

Mystery brew Colwood resident Glenda Caloren points to an upsidedown beer bottle wedged tightly in the centre of a tree stump in front of her home. Caloren had the 15-foot cedar taken down recently and discovered the apparently empty bottle had been encased by the trunks of the tree, which had grown around it over the decades. Having lived in the house for 30 years, she figures the bottle has been there longer than that. She has no immediate plans to dislodge the bottle and investigate further, although if the stump gets removed, Caloran said, she might at least know what brand of beer it was.

Steve Sinclair’s name omitted from Hall story A story on the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame 2015 induction gala, published in the Oct. 23 Gazette, was unfortunately missing the name of a new Hall member. The sentence should have read, ‘Retired lefthanded professional baseball pitcher Steve Sinclair, 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.’ We apologize for the omission.

The Victoria Grizzlies, whose nine goals scored in their last two home games was more than the previous four combined, look to continue honing their home-ice offensive skills in B.C. Hockey League action this week. After travelling to Nanaimo tonight (Oct. 28) to face the Clippers, the Grizzlies host Powell River on Thursday and Cowichan Valley on Friday at The Q Centre. Both home games are at 7 p.m. The Grizzlies are coming off a three-game Interior Division road trip that saw them pile up the shots but come away with just one win. Sunday in West Kelowna, the visitors led 2-0 after one but couldn’t hang on, as the Warriors posted a 4-2 win. Victoria outshot the locals 38-37, but were stymied several times by West Kelowna goalie Forbes Ploszaj. Brayden Gelsinger and Mitchell Barker, who scored a shorthanded goal unassisted late in the first, tallied in the loss. On Saturday in Vernon, the goalies were the stars on the night. The Grizzlies’ Matthew Galajda kicked out 31 Vipers shots for his first shutout of the season in a 2-0 Victoria win. Counterpart Andrew Shortridge was kept busy by the Grizzlies, stopping 48 of 50 shots. The only Victoria shooters to beat him were Nick Guiney in the first period and Cole Pickup in the third. The previous night in Salmon Arm, the hometown Silverbacks got a 37-save effort from goalie Brandon Kegler in a 5-1 win. Colby Livingstone, whose early third-period goal cut Salmon Arm’s lead to 4-1, was the lone Victoria player to score.

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

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

Has my vision changed? How frequently should one “change ones glasses?” There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Certain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others require more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annually for several years. Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most commonly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only minor changes are required. The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely visits ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effective way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

West Shore news … through the decades on its Fall Harvest Festival, pointing to the teachers’ strike as the reason. The annual event generally raises much-needed funds for gym equipment, field trips and other student

initiatives. Also making the news the week of Oct. 28, 2005: Highlands resident Michael Bocking asks that Highlands mayor Karel Roessingh’s vote

to support the CRD Regional Growth Strategy be set aside. In a letter to council, Bocking claims that prior to voting to adopt the strategy, the mayor did not adequately commu-

nicate its implications to his community. And, teachers and students are back in class following a twoweek strike. The weekend sees B.C. teachers vote 77 per cent in favour of accepting recommendations to end illegal strike action that began Oct. 7.

1995 Highlands mayor Bob McMinn is fuming over plans for his municipality to become home to the only major industrial incinerator in the Capital Regional District. The latest draft of the CRD’s solid waste management plan calls for Highwest Waste Recyclers Ltd., located just inside the district boundaries on Millstream Road, to step up burning of construction and demolition wood debris.

by local dogs. The three-year-old dorset ewe owned by Bernie Whitney-Griffiths was mauled Oct. 5. Metchosin council has a policy to pay up to 75 per cent of the animal’s value for livestock mauled by dogs whose owners cannot be identified. And, the subject of burning dominates the headlines, with Colwood clamping down by asking all residents to have any Halloween bonfires cleared though the fire department.

1985 What starts out as a small house party meant by the hostess to be a “small gathering” while the folks were away, ends up with more than 200 party goers spilling out of the house, into the yard and onto the street. It takes two hours for nine RCMP officers to clear the scene. They make 12 arrests for offences including public drunkenness, trespass at night and causing a disturbance.

The next day, another similar “small gathering” balloons in size to 150 people. The host of the party eventually calls police to help get things under control. Also making news the week of Oct. 28, 1985: An anonymous tip leads to the arrest of three men suspected of a break-in at the Shop Easy on Sooke Road. The back door of the store was apparently pried open and 610 cartons of cigarettes, 200 Bic lighters and two cases of soup taken. And, Colwood council hopes to introduce a canine death penalty into their municipality. Council agrees to apply to the Minister of Agriculture for three sections of the Livestock Protection Act to be declared valid in the City of Colwood. The sections, which must be enacted under a court order, provide for the killing of dogs found running in packs, those viciously pursuing persons or domestic animals, as well as dogs deemed to be dangerous. – Complied by Arnold Lim

GOLDSTREAM NEWS NEWS GAZETTE GAZETTE -- Wednesday, Wednesday, October October 28, 28, 2015 2015 GOLDSTREAM

Reader Photo of the Week

Happy Howl-oween! Colwood resident Marjanna Wornell snapped this photo of Noah as a wasp, taken at Middle Earth Canine Academy in Colwood. In the summer Noah was stung several times on the roof of his mouth when a slightly stunned wasp became lodged between his front upper teeth. He received emergency medical care and recovered nicely. His costume artistically implies he is the world’s “biggest” wasp and hopefully no wasps will try to sting him again. 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 week 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.
