Weekend weather prompts reminders Displaced seniors taken in at new Colwood hotel after water main break Katherine Engqvist Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

First responders and other crews were busy on the West Shore over the weekend dealing with the effects of the torrential downpours and pelting winds. But while crews were dealing with flooding and other weather relatedincidents, they were also called to at least one incident not caused by Mother Nature. A flood at the West Shore Lodge, which provides supported housing for seniors off Island Highway near Colwood Corners, caused a full evacuation of the site, displacing 62 residents Sunday night. The flooding, which saw water levels roughly one to one-and-a-half feet deep, was not caused by the weekend’s heavy rainfall. Colwood Fire Rescue Chief Kerry Smith said the cause was a break in the building’s water main. Colwood fire crews were on scene for roughly four hours to aid in the evacuation.

Demo days Two significant and iconic West Shore structures were subject to demolition in recent days. (Above photo) Excavators work away to bring down the former Belmont secondary on Monday. Sobey’s is clearing the old school site for a new Thrifty Foods store and development. Similar treatment was happening last Thursday at the former View Royal fire hall (photo right). The property is in the process of being sold to a private developer. The school and hall were 1950s-era buildings that were added onto and patched together as the usage grew over the years.

Poppy campaign needs volunteers Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Photos by Katherine Engqvist/News Gazette staff

Rain comes down sideways as the poppy campaign flag is raised Friday outside the Royal Canadian Legion’s Branch 91 on Station Avenue in Langford, marking the start of the 2015 campaign.

For the past 90 years, one of the strongest symbols of the Royal Canadian Legion has been the poppy. Every year volunteers spread throughout the community collecting donations for poppies, to be worn until Remembrance Day on Nov. 11. One of those volunteers is Grade 10 Belmont student Matthew Brabant, a member of the 848 Royal Roads Air Cadet Squadron. Brabant was the recipient of this year’s first poppy at a ceremony outside of the Langford Legion last Friday at 11 a.m. While raindrops pelted onlookers and the poppy campaign’s flag was raised, Brabant received the

Branch 91 vice-president Terri Orser present the first poppy of 2015 to Grade 10 Belmont student Matthew Brabant. first poppy, a symbol of sacrifices not to be forgotten. That moment officially marked the beginning of this year’s campaign. “It’s an honour,” Brabant said. “It’s pretty cool.”

The Legion’s Prince Edward Branch 91 in Langford has struggled to find others to sell poppies. “Our biggest issue is volunteers,” said branch president Norm Scott. “So far this year we’re suffering. All we’re asking for is two hours from someone. You’d be helping veterans and families in need and youth in our community.” Each year Branch 91 tries to increase public contributions. Last year’s poppy campaign raised about $78,000, all of which stayed in the community. “We always rely on volunteers to match the previous year,” added Ervin Kobialko, who oversees the campaign. To volunteer as a poppy seller, call 250-478-9812. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Kindness is the key to community

Hall demolition marks end of era in View Royal Old fire hall held many memories for volunteer firefighters Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

On a misty Thursday afternoon, a row of firefighters, some in uniform, others in civilian clothes, watch a solitary excavator tear away at history. As the large machine does its work, ripping apart wooden walls and floors, tearing out steel girders and knocking down concrete blocks of the old View Royal fire hall, comments such as “there goes the bar,” or “Hey Bev, there goes your office,” are overheard against the noise of the demolition. Once the new View Royal public safety building was completed and opened earlier this year down the road at 333 Island Hwy., everyone knew the old hall on Four Mile Hill was not long for this world. Even though they knew this day was coming, watching the old fire hall come down brought back a number of memories for those assembled Thursday afternoon. “It’s two-fold for me, but I think for a lot of the guys too. Being a member, my children grew up there. They grew up with family functions and the fire hall,” said Lt. Rob Marshall, who joined the

volunteer ranks in 2002. As educational officer for the View Royal Fire Department, Marshall is the guy who conducts tours of the fire hall for school groups and others. “A lot of children have come through this (building), and those children’s children have been coming through the fire hall,” he said. “It’s a real change in generations here. It’s really sad, actually.” The old hall was originally constructed in 1957 with two bays and added on to two different times, bringing the capacity up to five bays. It was part fire hall, part clubhouse and a real community meeting place for volunteers and others. “It’s more than a building,” Marshall said. “We never noticed it as much until experiencing it coming down now. The way we refer to it, the new building is fantastic, as it is, but it’s work, it’s where you go to work. This building was more like a home.” As he watched the excavator smash through what used to be the weight room, with its large mirrors along the back wall; the former bar – the department removed alcohol from the premises some years back – and the second-floor offices, Marshall recalled how the upper floor was mostly a large open space when he joined the force. The hall was enlarged, with more facilities installed, to accommodate the size of the depart-

The hall was decommssioned earier this year when the department moved into the new public safety building. ment and its needs, he said. “The biggest thing that we miss in the new hall is that closeness. In here the old kitchen was the focal point and all the offices were around the kitchen, so you were always in the know, everything that was going on. It was such a tight-knit small space.” Longtime friend Lt. Heath Bevan, who became a volunteer the year before Marshall and serves today as the department’s full-time training officer, mans the GoPro camera taking video of the demolition on the day. Asked for his thoughts on watching the demolition, he said, “Kind of good, but it’s kind of bad. We’ve got the new hall … but there’s a lot of history here. It definitely brings a tear to your eye

to see a building like this coming down.” While the new building was sorely needed, is much more efficient and has everything contained inside a climate controlled area, he said, “it’s bittersweet … Unfortunately for this building, it did its time.” The footage taken by Bevan will form part of the department’s archival history, but it will also allow Fire Chief Paul Hurst – he was at an out-of-town meeting this day – to see the place come down. Hurst, a lifelong View Royal resident whose father was a volunteer firefighter, volunteered himself at age 14 in 1984 and has been full-time with the department since 1987. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Don’t be surprised to find residents around the West Shore doing unexpected nice things for each other this Friday. Colwood, Langford and Highlands proclaimed Nov. 6 Random Act of Kindness Day. Inspired by an initiative in Ontario, the day is now earmarked to celebrate simple and random acts of generosity, with an eye on nourishing and strengthening community. “I think it resonates with people; Victoria has a rich history of kindness,” Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson said. “It doesn’t cost anyone anything to be nice, it’s just a sense of community.” The foundation proposed the proclamation to all 13 Greater Victoria municipalities. Of those, 10 took them up on it. Colwood Mayor Hamilton recalled how a neighbour mowed her lawn while the mayor was away for a couple weeks earlier this year. She hopes to see these kinds of sentiments grow. “It’s what we do for each other to make everyone’s lives a little more happy,” she said. “I think that people watch out for one another and are aware of neighbours and do those kinds of things, but this broadens it.” For more information visit victoriafoundation.bc.ca/kindness. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

New internal imaging technology gives doctors more options Donor matching promise to boost foundation’s fundraising campaign Not many people likely know what interventional angiography is, but there are a lot of ways it can help improve the health of patients and even save lives. That’s why the Victoria Hospitals Foundation is targeting the

purchase of two new medical imaging systems – they’ll allow doctors to see inside blood vessels and internal organs – with its fall fundraising campaign, launched recently at Victoria General Hospital in View Royal. “These machines will be used for more than 60 different procedures from the routine to the lifesaving,” said Dr. Paul Sobkin, clinical section head for angiography/ interventional radiology. “With these new systems, we will be able to perform advanced procedures not currently possible

and apply our techniques to more patients with increased accuracy and confidence.” Among the critical procedures the equipment would enable are the removal of blood clots from arteries and veins, establishing vascular access to allow for kidney dialysis, stabilizing spinal fractures due to osteoporosis and stopping internal bleeding following trauma or surgery. Sobkin added the new technology will also lower the amount of radiation exposure to patients and caregivers by up to 60 per cent

from current equipment. Area residents can expect to receive more information soon from the Foundation on how to help. Important to note is the fact an anonymous donor has committed to match donations dollar for dollar up to $750,000, said Foundation board chair Cathy McIntyre. “We are calling on our community to help us raise $1.5 million for these sophisticated systems, that will be used to treat a wide variety of conditions, including stroke, renal failure and osteoporosis,” she said.

The systems are destined for each of the region’s major hospitals, one at Victoria General and the other at Royal Jubilee. They are the only referral centres on Vancouver Island for a variety of interventional radiology treatments. Ten to 12 procedures a day and more than 2,500 a year will be done with the new machines. Contributions can be made by calling 250-519-1750, or donations can be made online at victoriahf. ca. editor@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.

OUR VIEW

Area flooding good reminder Last weekend’s heavy rains around the West Shore, Capital Region and Pacific Northwest were a sign that fall is officially here. This weather slap in the face forced many people to take fast action. Overburdened storm drains and catch basins all over the region, clogged largely by leaves blown down by accompanying heavy winds, overflowed with the amount of rain that fell in a relatively short period of time Friday and Saturday. Flooding of everything from basements and storefronts to parking lots and streets – even a senior’s home in Colwood was evacuated as a result – left residents, business owners and staff, and emergency responders working to avert further disaster. On the one hand, we were pretty lucky on the West Shore; things could have been much worse. We’re fortunate, for example, that our region doesn’t find itself bracing every year for a river that overflows its banks due to winter runoff. On the other hand, the weekend storm was a sign that we have officially entered the rainy season in Greater Victoria and we need to be proactive as a way to avert flood situations. With many trees still having not lost all their leaves yet, homeowners, stratas, commercial property managers and anyone else looking after homes or buildings can help. Not only can everyone keep an eye out by regularly raking leaves away from drain areas – bagging them for later pickup or dropoff is a good plan – double-checking to ensure that catch basins on your property are free of blockages goes a long way toward preventing flood situations. While our municipalities are technically responsible for maintenance on storm drains on the edge of the roadways, whether or not curb and gutter exists, take a moment while doing yard work to brush away leaves around the storm drains nearest our properties. It could potentially save a lot of work later this fall. Bright, sunny skies returned to the region early this week, but as we all know, that’s only a prelude to more heavy rain. What do you think?

The silence of the email servers which is blanked out, and offers to Premier Christy Clark’s discuss the situation by phone. government has been steadily Here’s an exchange between backed into a corner on its NDP MLA Adrian Dix and apparent deletion of Citizens’ Services Minister emails involving sensitive Amrik Virk: government topics. Dix: “Can the minister A week-long barrage explain why the Office of of accusations by the the Premier, the Deputy NDP opposition peaked Minister to the Premier, with their most damning has no records and why evidence of a cover-up, in the successive Deputy the long-running case of Minister of Health had eight health researchers one record over two suspended or fired from years?” drug approval studies.

as should always be the case in hiring and firing ministry staff and awarding government work contracts. The buck stops with Lake and Clark, not their deputies. There are sound reasons for this. Consider another sensitive decision, to shoot wolves from the air in a last-ditch effort to preserve dwindling mountain caribou herds. Protesters, pop stars and politicians can sound off as they like, but these hard decisions are made and carried out by wildlife experts working for or consulted by the province. The minister, in this case Forests Minister Steve Thomson, authorizes the use of helicopters and rifles and takes the political consequences. One can imagine the agonizing behind-the-scenes discussion with provincial and First Nations wildlife experts, who watch caribou herds dwindle despite widespread habitat protection efforts. They not only make the technical call, they have to pull the trigger. Would wildlife biologists be able to provide frank advice for or against this decision if they knew their names and opinions could later be used in a political battle in the legislature and in the streets? No. And can you run a public service if everyone is subjected to the scrutiny that only politicians choose to endure? No. Tom Fletcher is legislative reporter and columnist for Black Press and BCLocalnews.com Twitter: @tomfletcherbc Email: tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS Serious engineering issues on gravel pit stretch of Metchosin Road Re: Colwood council must act on bike lanes for Metchosin Road (Letters, Sept. 30) Having cycled this road on a regular basis for 35 years, I read with interest the concerns about a lack of a separated bike lane on Metchosin Road heading downhill beside the former gravel pit, whereas one was recently created on the uphill portion of this section. About a week after I read the letter, I contacted the Colwood engineering department to inquire why a separated cycle path had not been installed. They said it would have been “very easy to install,” but they decided to defer its installation because of concerns of transitioning from a separated bicycle path to a non-separated bicycle path on the other side of Latoria Road. Hmm, I said. Following that conversation I took my trusty old tape measure and my modest 33 years of municipal engineering experience and drove to the site. This is what I observed: 1) The new utility pole installed at the intersection of Metchosin Road and the new Latoria is located right in the middle of the proposed bicycle lane. 2) The elevations of the tops of the new underground Hydro vaults located beside the new pole are so high that if a bicycle were to cross them, even at a modest speed, the cyclist would end up being airborne through the

intersection. 3) The combined design of the curb/ sidewalk crossing and new Latoria sidewalk are incorrectly designed to accommodate a separate bicycle lane. 4) The engineering required to transition from a separated bike lane to a non-marked one is straightforward. These types of

bicycle transitionings are installed all the time, particularly in developing communities. Many examples, good and bad, are seen on Latoria and Happy Valley roads. 5) The cost to relocate the pole and adjust the elevation of the Hydro vaults, if possible, would be in the tens of thousands

of dollars. 6) A deceleration vehicle lane should also be installed on the “gravel pit” side of the road, as one has to come to a near complete stop to turn right onto Latoria Road. Again, the current intersection design is not as safe as it should be for a major road such as Metchosin. A left turn

lane from Metchosin onto Latoria should also be considered, sooner than later. It is clear there has been some significant design oversights on this stretch of road.

One can only hope that Colwood council acknowledges these oversights and takes immediate corrective action. Ian Phillips Langford

The actual Bylaw should be reviewed to determine specifically how particular lands may be affected. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be provided an opportunity to be heard, or to present written submissions, on matters contained in the proposed Bylaw. A copy of proposed Bylaw No. 3996 and other relevant documents and information may be inspected at the Juan de Fuca Local Area Services Building, 3-7450 Butler Road, Otter Point, BC, between the hours of 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday to Friday to November 9, 2015, excluding statutory holidays, and are available from the CRD website at www.crd.bc.ca/jdf.

Written submissions should be sent to Juan de Fuca Planning, by mail to 3-7450 Butler Road, Sooke, BC, V9Z 1N1; by email to jdfinfo@crd.bc.ca or by fax to 250.642.5274.

A representative of Trillium Care Communities, operator of West Shore Lodge, said in an email the remaining displaced residents were placed at three other Trillium homes in Victoria. Plans are in place to smoothly transition all residents back to West Shore Lodge by the end of this week. As for weatherrelated flooding, in Langford pooling water around the area of Millstream and McCallum roads, compounded by leaves blown down by heavy winds, created some problems. But in general, the city experienced relatively few issues, having done a fair bit of proactive work to prepare for the rainy season, engineering director Michelle Mahovlich said. “We have our annual cleaning phase where we clean out all the catch basins. Our road contractor had been doing that for two weeks before,” she said. A flood in the Tim Horton’s parking lot off Goldstream Avenue, photos of which circulated on social media, resulted from the property owner not cleaning out their catch basin, Mahovlich said. The storm was a good reminder for people to clean their eavestroughs and for all property owners to watch for fallen leaves accumulating around catch basin and storm drain areas. katie@goldstream gazette.com

Resurgent Grizzlies at home Friday BCHL club appears to be turning the corner When your team is struggling, you take your wins when they come. And as the Victoria Grizzlies prepare for a B.C. Hockey League home rematch against the Island Division-leading Cowichan Valley Capitals this Friday (Nov. 6), they’ll be looking to build on the momentum gained from their longest win streak of the season, a modest two games. The Grizzlies (5-12-0-2), coming off a painful 5-4 loss in Nanaimo last Wednesday, shrugged that

result off and beat Powell River 3-1 and the Capitals 3-2 in the friendlier confines of The Q Centre on back-toback nights to end the week. We l l - t r a v e l l e d BCHL veteran Dante Hahn, who’s scoring at a pointper-game pace since being acquired from the Coquitlam Express a couple of weeks back, notched his third goal of the season in the win over the Caps. Jake Stevens and Nick Guiney also scored for the Grizzlies, who broke open a scoreless game with three goals in the second period. Matthew Galajda, who low-

ered his goals against average to 2.95 and raised his save percentage to .900, stopped 22 of 24 shots in the Victoria net. After losing his first seven starts as a Grizzlie, he’s gone 4-2 in his last six games. Both Cowichan goals, by Ryan Burton in the second period and Adam Osczebski in the third, came while the Caps played shorthanded. This Friday’s game goes at 7 p.m. The Grizzlies follow that with a Sunday matinee (2 p.m. start) against the visiting Prince George Spruce Kings. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Vision Matters Healthy Eyes. Doctor Delivered.

Natural gas rates: you have a choice Dr. Brent Morrison, Dr. Jeffrey Thompson, Dr. Amanda Tawadros, Dr. Ann-Marie Stewart, and Dr. Chris Snow

Amblyopia

a.k.a. “Lazy Eye” The word “amblyopia” is Greek in origin and it quite literally means slow vision. The term “lazy eye” is often used to describe amblyopia to patients. If an eye is to become amblyopic, it will do so during the period of visual development between birth and about ten years of age. One eye is sending a weaker signal to the brain; therefore fewer connections will be made to the brain for that eye. This condition can occur if one is born with eyes significantly different prescriptions. Over time, the ability to use both eyes at once is diminished. The brain has many cells requiring input from both eyes. These cells, devoted to binocular vision and depth perception, are unable to develop if both eyes are not sending a strong signal, consequently the weaker eye wanders. Researchers disagree about the exact age up to which amblyopia can be successfully treated. They do agree however that the key to remediating amblyopia is early detection and treatment. Remember, the first eye examination should be at around the third birthday.
