identify what we are dealing with. I expect we will be in a position to identify that piece of land and details from public engagement.” Hamilton, co-chair of Westside Solutions, said a combination of public feedback and presented information has her leaning towards a multi-plant option. However, she said many variables are yet to be determined. A major step is taking a closer look at potential costs for the various options, to be presented on Dec. 2. “I really do think we need some-

thing beyond one central plant … what if the plant fails? We have had to shut our existing station down (in the past),” she said. “If there was a Westside plant and a downtown plant, one could offset the other if we had an extreme situation.” Hamilton conceded single-plant options would come in at a lower up-front cost than a multi-site plan, but initial costs are not the only consideration.

Carol Hamilton … favours a multi-plant solution.

The Capital Regional District’s sewage treatment discussions now appear to be centred around the what, rather than the when. A week after the CRD’s consulta-

tion team and technical oversight panel presented options for everything from one to seven sewage plants, public consultation is on the menu as work continues to hit a Jan. 27 deadline to decide which option to choose. “We will have narrowed it down to the preferred site or sites; right now it is in a loose group and narrowing down has taken place in order to go out and get bids on construction on whatever is recommended,” Colwood mayor and CRD director Carol Hamilton said. “We need to

Poppy crosses leave a lasting legacy Late Langford resident remembered for his loving memorial to war dead Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Ron Phillips was the oldest sibling in his family in Melfort, Sask. when the Second World War broke out in 1939, but he was too young to enlist for the military, even through the end of the conflict. As part of a farming family whose key contribution to the war effort was to provide food, Ron always felt that he wanted to contribute in some other way. Fast forward to the 2000s. Ron, living in Langford with his wife Jean since 1970, continues to support veteran’s causes and is a regular attendee at Remembrance Day ceremonies. One day his daughter Colleen Donnelly, a local travel consultant who specializes in group excursions, invites him to come along on a two-week European battlefield tour that she and husband Joe, a retired lieutenant-colonel in the Canadian military have set up called Maple Leaf Forever. Phillips is thrilled and quickly agrees to go. Many of the tours, which ran between 2001 and 2005, included veterans, some of whom actually fought in the areas they were visiting. For Ron, sitting with the war vets and listening to their stories from all those years ago was his way to give back. “A lot of veterans travelled with us and it was their first time back after all those years, facing their past,” Colleen said in an interview last week. “Dad went on the first and the last tour. What he loved the most was to be able to spend time with the veterans who travelled with us, in the evenings over a beer, and listen to their stories. He was glued to everything they had to say.” Not only did Phillips provide a listening ear to aging veterans, he came up with another idea to help honour Canada’s fallen soldiers. A meticulous guy who was in the plumbing business for years, he handmade tiny crosses

using popsicle sticks and poppies. The handcrafted items were included in a bag given to the tour members as something to leave behind in memory of those who never came back from the war. “He was a perfectionist,” Colleen recalled. “He would take the poppy sticks and grind them down so they were even, and glue the poppies onto the front. (By creating the crosses) he touched the hearts of the veterans and family members who travelled with us.” Between 2001 and 2005, she estimated, roughly 350 people took part in the Maple Leaf Forever tours in northwest Europe and Italy. A quick calculation in her head determined that her dad created close to 10,000 of the poppy crosses. “He always wished that he could sign up, but he was too young,” Colleen said. “This was his way of showing his appreciation and that (others’ military service and sacrifices) really meant something to him.” Ron passed away in January of this year at 84 from the effects of Alzheimer disease and will be remembered, among other things, for the love and care he put into the cross project. A recent republishing of a photo of two of Phillips’ poppy crosses on the cenotaph on the front of the News Gazette’s Remembrance Day section, prompted Donnelly to see if she had any left. Sure enough, she discovered around 200 in a bag in a drawer. She gave her seven-year-old grandson, Carson Sanders, a bag of the crosses to pass out to his classmates at school to help mark Remembrance Day. She hoped that he would tell a story of how the handmade mementos came to be. Jean Phillips, Ron’s widow and lifelong partner, recalled her husband spending hours working on the project. “He just put his heart and soul into it,” she said. She was glad to

The late Ron Phillips, pictured above on a battlefield tour excursion in Europe in the 2000s, left a lasting legacy when he handmade popsicle stick poppy crosses (inset left) for people on the tours to leave at gravesites of fallen soldiers. The remaining 200 of an estimated 10,000 crosses he crafted will likely find their way onto local cenotaphs as a way to honour fallen members of the military. hear that Colleen found a stash of the poppy crosses to allow locals to keep them or place them in remembrance. “If they can be placed on the cenotaph each year, I think it would be a very nice contribution and a memorable thing for him,” Jean said. “Unfortunately he’s not around to enjoy it, but our family knows that he is being recognized for his efforts.” This year’s Remembrance Day service was Ron’s family’s first without him. But every time they find a tiny poppy cross laid carefully on the cenotaph, it’ll be a reminder of the man and the importance he placed on the service of others. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Learn how to help your kids handle daily stressors Nov. 25 workshop aims to build resiliency in youth Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

An upcoming workshop for parents may help children better handle stress. Cindy Andrew, of the Centre for Addictions Research B.C. and the Psychology Foundation of Canada, says building resiliency in our youth by helping manage

stress may help their ability to pay attention, learn and help prevent adverse development that can affect youth right into adulthood. “Fundamentally, parents are important partners and we know resiliency and ability to cope with stress is learned, you are not born with it,” Andrew said. “Just like we help our kids cross the road safely, or all the basics of life, we need to help them develop their stress management skills to be successful and happy in life in general.” Parents looking for more information on the topic are encour-

aged to attend Stressed Out Kids, a free workshop set for Nov. 25 at Royal Bay secondary. Andrew, the volunteer chair of the Healthy Schools Committee for the Sooke Parents’ Education Advisory Council, said the event is about supporting parents in their amazing role as parents. “My favourite quote is, ‘resiliency equals stress plus support.’ Stress in life is an opportunity to manage life’s ups and downs,” she said. “We picked up on the notion of kids and stress because a lot of kids endure a lot … and (don’t

That conversation gets lost when talking about anxiety Andrew said. The workshop is one of several planned; future topics will touch on sex, drugs and social media. More than 130 parents attended a recent presentation at Dunsmuir middle school. “I think all of us could benefit from strengthening our strate-

Treatment plant options varied for West Shore Continued from Page A1

Colwood remembers

Royal Roads University and the Vancouver Island Ex-Cadet Club jointly hosted a Remembrance Day ceremony in the Italian Gardens next to Hatley Castle Wednesday. Former and current members of the armed forces, along with their families, friends, children and those just wishing to show their respect, spilled out of the garden, around the castle’s balcony and onto the surrounding grounds. (Left) Warrant Officer Dan Hryhoryshen took a moment after laying his poppy.

Last week, numerous options were unveiled for achieving the provincial and federal government’s treatment mandates. Those included a one-plant option based in Victoria’s Rock Bay area; a two-plant option, with a centralized plant at Rock Bay and a tertiary treatment facility in Colwood; a four-plant, sub-regional option with facilities in Rock Bay, Esquimalt Nation, Colwood and East Saanich, and a seven-plant option that would include more localized facilities in Langford, Colwood, View Royal, Esquimalt, Rock Bay, the Saanich core and Saanich east, as well as an option for tertiary treatment. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, Westside committee co-chair, said a poll has been conducted with approximately 400 people. Ninety per cent said they had not been involved in the process before, but they were following it. Once cost information is released, she said, public consultation will kick off in full force. “The next step is to go out to high schools to try and reach out even further and certainly to go back to all those who have participated before,” Desjardins said. “There will be another round of public input between December and middle of January. We recognize that’s a bad time, but we have time frames that we have to meet.” The CRD has until March 2016 to submit a detailed plan for wastewater treatment or they could lose the $83.4 million in funding from federal crown corporation PPP Canada. The federal government has also committed $120 million from the Building Canada Fund and $50 million from the Canada Green Fund.

OUR VIEW

Sewage solution needs your input Get ready to put your thinking cap on again. While some of us may believe that the recent federal election encompassed one of the most significant decisions we’ve had to make this year, an even more compelling opportunity awaits residents of the West Shore and CRD committees the Capital Region. going about project The Capital in a measured and Regional District is moving effective way comparatively quickly now on resolving the long-standing sewage debate for Greater Victoria. That means it is getting closer to choosing how to implement the federally and provincially mandated levels of treatment. With cost estimates soon to be released on the various options for treatment plants, the time is fast approaching when taxpayers will be encouraged and expected to weigh in with their thoughts on the appropriateness of what will be some very specific solutions. Unlike the overly technical nature of past discussions and open houses on the topic, residents will finally be looking at some very real choices, with best estimations of costs for each, and asked to grade them. It’s almost like a referendum of sorts, one that allows the public’s opinion to be heard, and hopefully valued. We appreciate the lengths to which the west and east sewage committees have gone to bring the public into the discussion. At least on the surface, it seems the public is more involved this time around than when McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt was prematurely proclaimed as the lone treatment plant site. Or when the CRD purchased a $17-million property on Viewfield Road in that municipality – land that will never be used as part of this project. The clock is ticking on some elements of the funding for this endeavour. Unlike the CRD’s last stab at solving this problem it is being forced to solve, this time there’s been no rush to judgment, just slow steady decision-making. That pace of work on this massive project has paid off so far with good information and progress. We hope it continues to the point where the Capital Region, and the West Shore, receive a good long-term option for sewage treatment that takes into account where the growth is in the region, but also keeps in mind who has to pay for such a system.

the federal government must work with provinces to set a minimum standard for pricing carbon emissions, through carbon taxes, cap and trade or both, reaching at least $100 per tonne by 2020, and applying targeted regulations or standards where carbon price alone is not enough to meet emissions targets. We’d also like to see government move ahead with commitments to low-carbon infrastructure, including investment in public transportation, renewable energy and climate adaptation, as well as employing natural systems to reduce impacts. Energy-efficiency standards for vehicles and buildings are also essential, as is a commitment to support the UN Green Climate Fund for developing nations. We and other organizations will offer suggestions on a range of issues. For us, these include species at risk and habitat protection, marine protected areas, environmental rights, natural capital evaluation and improved relations with indigenous peoples. We realize the new government faces numerous challenges and must deal with competing interests around falling oil prices, pipeline projects, missing and murdered aboriginal women, national security, international commitments regarding terrorism and more. It won’t be easy and they’ll have to hit the ground running. As leaders from Canada and the U.S. head to Paris with real commitments to address climate change, there’s hope for progress. This government seems open to engaging in conversations with Canadians from all walks of life and all parts of the country, and to accepting our global responsibilities. I wish them the best.

Jeneece Place welcomes its 1,000th family Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

Photo courtesy of the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island.

Donovan Hackett, 22 months, sits with parents Kalvin Hackett and Jane Thomas at Jeneece Place, while the newest addition to the family, Ruby, is receiving care in Victoria General Hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit.

Nestled on the corner of the Victoria General Hospital grounds is a building to which many passersby don’t give a second look. But that structure is more than just a walls and a roof. It was a young girl’s (Jeneece Edroff) dream that materialized to provide families a little bit of home while their children receive medical treatment. “Jeneece Place was built by the community for the community,” said Jessica Woollard, a communications officer with the Children’s Health Foundation of Vancouver Island, which operates the facility. “When families come here, they are being welcomed and cared for by the people who made donations and contributed to build this house. The experience of staying at Jeneece Place becomes part of the healing journey for them.” This special place recently opened its doors to its 1,000th family, a trio from Campbell River. Jane Thomas and Kalvin Hackett’s newest addition, daughter Ruby, was born barely 31 weeks into Thomas’ pregnancy. Ruby and her parents were flown to VGH by air ambulance just hours after her birth. The infant will likely remain in the neonatal intensive care unit until her

original due date, Dec. 14. “When we got here, we received an enormous amount of support. This wasn’t an easy experience, but this place made it that much easier for us,” Hackett said. Thomas said she wasn’t able to say goodbye to their eldest, Donovan, before they were sent to Victoria. “We’re very lucky to have Jeneece Place. There’s nothing more I could ask for … It reminds me of home,” she said. Donovan has since joined the family and is having fun playing with all of the buttons in the house. The Children’s Health Foundation opened Jeneece Place in Janu-

ary 2012. The costs for a family to stay are subsidized by the Foundation, making the fee only $25 for a family to spend a night. But no family is turned away and the Foundation also helps cover the costs of families in need. Roughly 20 per cent of families have stayed more than once, often multiple times and the longest continuous stay has been for more than one year. The majority of families who use Jeneece Place are from the Island. Although the house is on the grounds of VGH, families can stay there if their child is receiving medical care anywhere in Greater Victoria. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Legendary bridge master here to give workshop Local enthusiasts secure three-time world champion for weekend event Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

One of the world’s leading bridge players and instructors is in town this weekend to impart wisdom gained over decades of top-level competition. Mike Lawrence, who has three world championship titles and 18 North American crowns to his credit, will be at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort Mike Lawrence and Spa this Sunday and Monday (Nov. 15 to 16) to lead a workshop on the finer points of the game. It’s a rare opportunity for serious Vancouver Island bridge players to glean playing tips from one of the best. “Today he’s regarded as the top theorist in the world,” said Bob Flitton, the Highlands resident who spearheaded the bid to bring Lawrence to town. “It’s like having somebody who won the Indianapolis 500

ten times come to Bear Mountain. This guys is ‘it’ in terms of the bridge world.” Lawrence, who these days lives in Tennessee, had been scheduled to put on a workshop in Kelowna earlier this year. He didn’t hesitate to say ‘yes,’ Flitton said, when asked if he’d be willing to come to Greater Victoria to put on a clinic for avid bridge players. As it turned out, the Kelowna workshop was cancelled and Flitton said some people who planned on attending there have signed up for the Langford event. The workshop runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. both days. If you haven’t already booked your ticket, you can still register online at bearmountain. ca/bridge and click on Events and Bridge Workshop. The cost is $150. For more information, call Flitton at 250-361-7125 or email him at bobflitton@telus.net. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Parkway Grooming:

Chris Anctil, owner of K9SK8 Park, is often asked, why a canine skate park? Two summers ago, Chris’ first business, Nirvana Pet Resort, on Government Street decided to have their walls painted by a street artist, following the lead of her neighbor, Phillips Brewery. Her interactions with that artist inspired the creation of K9SK8 Park. The idea for a doggy playground, complete with tunnels, ramps and board walks hit her immediately!

Parkway Grooming understands that when you bring your four-legged child into be groomed, you want them to receive only the kindest attention and care. A gentle and calm approach, alongside the highest in ethics and standards is what Parkway Grooming promises to each of their clients.

All of K9’s daycare staff are fully-certified in Pet First Aid, while Chris is one of the facility’s two Certified Master Trainers.

Jess Elrod is an IPG Certified Professional Groomer with 8 years grooming experience and 18 years of dog handling and training experience. Jess’ calm nature allows her to groom anxious dogs that others have turned away.

Keeping it all in the family

Theatre builds community on and off stage Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Photy by S.C Steffler of cwpics.com

Tiny Tim (Willem Rabourn) and Ebenezer Scrooge, (Douglas Crocket) are part of the Four Season’s Musical Theatre’s biggest cast and crew ever and perform A Christmas Carol at the Isabelle Reader Theatre in Langford.

An iconic classic is coming to the Isabelle Reader Theatre. For the first time, Four Seasons Musical Theatre welcomes the sights and sounds of A Christmas Carol to their family-oriented program. Director Terry Rowsell says the seasonal play may feature their biggest cast and crew ever as the company celebrates four decades of musical theatre. “It takes my breath away to think of the thousands of volunteers and tens of thousands of volunteer hours witnessed by our society in 40 years. Imagine for a moment the good this has done for the com-

OPEN HOUSE

munity,” he said. “My hope for the future is continued growth in the musical arts and greater camaraderie between all arts groups in our communities.” Volunteers on the production look forward to welcoming the public, who Rowsell said will experience an audiencefuelled, symbiotic relationship with those on the stage. He challenged the public to connect with performers and enjoy the immediacy of the story in a way that only happens with a live stage performance. “Once (performers) have 300 people in front of them, they feed off the energy of the audience. This is why when you see the audience, they

clap or applaud after every number.” Langford resident Douglas Crockett is one such performer. And unlike the crotchety Ebenezer Scrooge the long-time actor embodies for the play, he’s excited to see the crowds filter in to enjoy a theatre company he said is built on the backs of families, both on and off the stage. “There are two producers and both have kids in the show and there are at least four or five parent-and-children (combinations working) together. This gives a good opportunity for parents to do something with their kids,” Crockett said. “I think it’s great for young people to be involved with commu-

nity theatre.” Eight-year-old Willem Rabourn agrees. The young Four Seasons newcomer said he would have happily accepted any role to be a part of the production, but he’ll make his debut in a starring role as Tiny Tim. “I really enjoy it. I really like meeting new friends and the director is really nice and his little baby is really adorable,” Willem said. “I really, really enjoy hanging out with people there … being Tiny Tim, I feel like I’m really lucky.” The show opens this Friday (Nov. 13) and runs through Nov. 21 at the Isabelle Reader Theatre, 750 Goldstream Ave. For info, visit fsmtheatre.ca. alim@goldstream gazette.com

SAVINGS TIME

The decision to destroy a bear causing problems at the Howard English Hatchery on Goldstream River was made to protect the safety of children taking educational tours and the volunteers who work there. The bear had been feeding on the fish food and salmon carcasses placed in the river to replenish nutrients and posed a threat. The hatchery is located on a large track of land owned by the CRD where the bear “challenged” the technical advisor to the hatchery Peter McCully. Also making the news the week of Nov. 13, 2005: Volunteer firefighters are getting burned by proposed changes to the Workers Compensation act. Under a bill introduced for first reading, the WCB act will be amended so certain types of cancers will be recognized as occupation diseases associated with long term employment as a firefighter. But volunteers who are the majority of BC’s firefighters aren’t included in the coverage. View Royal fire chief Paul Hurst said the volunteers do the same job as paid fighters and it defies logic to exclude volunteers from the same benefits. A contentious all candidates meeting for Highlands mayor and council hopefuls was described by Ken Brotherston, who was seeking a second term on council, as “a sea of mudslinging.” Held at the West Highlands Firehall, the meeting was packed and those who couldn’t cram in peered in through doors and windows.

1995 Four teens made off with $100 in a brazen theft from CanWest Mall Sunday. Members of the Order of the Eastern Star were selling raffle tickets when three youths distracted booth workers, according to an RCMP press release. A fourth youth grabbed a cashbox and ran. The four suspects escaped into the Columbia Read-Mix gravel pit. Also making the news the week of Nov. 13, 1995: A West Shore woman said to beware of babysitters making long-distance phone calls to overseas chat lines. The concerned parent suspects her male baby-sitter rang up nearly $300 in phone calls to Cameroon in mid August. The sitter denies it but a faxed copy of her telephone bill clearly shows 17 phone calls from her Langford home to the central African country during August. When the Gazette called the Cameroon number, a recorded voice answered that we had reached the “One-on-One” Line.

Ministry of transportation and highways district manager Joe Jenkins said deteriorating trestles which dot the abandoned Canadian National right of way will be dismantled this fall. The trestles, stripped of much lumber and the sites of several fires for years and have taken the role of challenging motorbike obstacles, playgrounds for youth and stages for late-night drinking parties. Also making the news the week of Nov. 13, 1985: While Sooke teachers and the local school board have settled their contract dispute, it does not mean the two sides are seeing eye to eye. Voting Nov. 28, the Sooke Teaches Association agreed to an 18-month contract but also passed a motion severely limiting their dealings with the school board. The current load of provincial court cases from the Western Communities would keep two provincial courtrooms occupied almost on a full-time bases according to a study on the need for a Western Community Court. By 1996 the report stated, 3.4 courtrooms would be needed to deal with the projected number of cases. – Complied by Arnold Lim

Canadian auto TestFest fiesta The Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) has just completed TestFest, an annual four-day intensive vehicle evaluation driving event. TestFest establishes core groundwork for a thorough voting process that will Bob McHugh ultimately determine the 2016 Canadian Car of the Year, the 2016 Canadian Utility Vehicle of the Year, the 2016 Canadian Green Car and the 2016 Green Utility Vehicle of the Year. This year more than 80 auto media experts did backto-back evaluations of 122 new vehicles assembled at the Canadian Tire Motorsport Park in Clarington, Ont., which is also a new staging location for the event. In addition to its well-known, high-speed track, this racing facility was also able to provide a low-speed handling course and, in my opinion, the best off-road course in the history of the annual event. As always, designated routes on public roads, specific to the category of vehicle, were also incorporated. Nine category winners from TestFest will be announced by AJAC on Nov. 24. The overall winners will be announced at 2016 auto shows in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Category entry information, photos and some interesting drone-filmed videos taken at this year’s TestFest are already viewable on the AJAC web site (ajac.ca) and all the compiled stats and voting details will follow later. More “green” vehicle entries than in previous years, will allow the presentation of two awards (for both car and utility) at next year’s Vancouver Auto Show. The car entries included an all-new Chevrolet Volt, a restyled smart fortwo (it finally has smooth shifting automatic transmission), a new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid with a no-compromise flatfloor trunk, plus an all-new Honda Civic that’s wider, yet lighter and claims outstanding fuel economy. The green utility entries come in a diverse range of

On the other hand, a luxurious Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid is sure to make the neighbors green with envy. The mid-sized GMC Canyon pickup truck is now available with an all-new fuel-efficient 2.8L I-4 Turbo Diesel engine. Finally yet importantly, Hyundai deserves a gutsy award for stepping-up and offering the very first hydrogen fueled fuel cell vehicle to Canadian buyers, in a dedicated front-drive version of Tucson, its compact crossover. “Our program is testing‐based, and driven by data and weighted scoring,” said Justin Pritchard, CCOTY co‐chair. “Dozens of experienced vehicle testers drive dozens of vehicles, back to back, over several days. This testing process generates thousands of data points. We share every aspect of this test data online, so shoppers can see exactly how a given vehicle won its category or how it stacked up to the category winner.” bob.mchugh@drivewaybc.ca

School volleyball coming down to crunch time on West Shore Seeding for Island championship tournaments established this week

OF N FER OV E 30 ND TH S

It wasn’t necessarily pretty, but the Belmont Bulldogs confirmed their placement for the upcoming Island AAA senior boys volleyball championships at Oak Bay High. Going 1-2 in Monday’s playoff South Island playoff matches at Belmont left the host Bulldogs seeded as No. 4 among south teams playing in the upcoming tournament, set for Nov. 20 and 21. The Bulldogs began the seeding day by knocking off Mount Douglas in two straight sets (258, 25-17), thus clinching a berth into the six-team Island tournament. Belmont then ran up against Oak Bay, a top-10 ranked team in the province among AAA squads. The Barbers won that match 25-11, 25-14 and ultimately defeated Reynolds 25-19, 25-20 to take the first seed for the south. Belmont went on to drop the third/fourth place match to Claremont, 25-21, 25-18. The result meant little to the draw for the Islands, as both teams are in a pool with Oak Bay. The other side of the draw sees Nanaimo’s Dover Bay joined by Reynolds and Spectrum.

The seeding tournament for the AAAA senior girls’ Islands tournament finished up Tuesday night at Belmont, after the Gazette’s holiday press deadline). Belmont, which finished third in the city league playoffs’ A pool, hosts the Island AAAA championships Nov. 20 and 21.

Ravens junior boys second in South Islands Oak Bay proved the nemesis of another West Shore team last week, as the junior boys downed the Ravens in the final of the eight-team South Island tournament at Royal Bay. The host team won its pool with a 2-1 match record, its wins coming against Esquimalt and Pacific Christian, and the loss coming to Oak Bay. Those results created an allWest Shore playoff matchup, which the Ravens won 25-17, 25-23 over the Belmont Bulldogs. In the semifinals, Royal Bay dispatched Claremont, who ultimately lost to Pacific Christian for third place. Claremont hosts the Island championships Nov. 20 and 21. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Off-road vehicle registration now required Legislation comes with hefty fines Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

If you’re one of the many West Shore residents who like to take the road less travelled, and get your tires dirty while exploring all this area has to offer, the province’s new Off Road Vehicle Act could impact you. As of Nov. 1, licence plates are mandatory for quads, dirt bikes and other off-road vehicles (ORV), a regulation that comes with a one-time, $48 licensing fee. As well, helmets are required for all riders, and use by children under 16 is restricted in the province’s

back country, including Crownowned land. Jeff Evernden, owner of the Westshore Motocross Park, said there’s a lot of confusion amongst his customers about how the new regulations will affect them. “People think it’s a cash grab but there’s two sides to every coin. It could be good if it’s handled properly,” he said. “It’s going to be interesting to see.” Evernden’s facility, behind Western Speedway, is private property and as such is not impacted by the new regulations. But many of its users also take their bikes into areas targeted by the legislation, which is aimed at anyone riding on Crown land. “When you look at the designation of Crown land it’s really big,”

Public Notice of Open House McKenzie Interchange Project

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure invites the public to attend an Open House regarding a proposed new interchange at the intersection of the Trans Canada Highway and Admirals Road and McKenzie Avenue. This will be an opportunity for the public to review and provide input on the project. Ministry staff will be available to provide information and answer questions. The drop-in open house is scheduled for the following date: Tuesday, November 17, 2015 3:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. St. Joseph the Worker Parish Hall 753 Burnside Road West, Victoria BC For those unable to attend the open house, the information presented will be posted on the ministry’s web site on November 17th.

he said, adding that the closest such area to the West Shore is near the top of the Malahat. The problem, Evernden said, is there is still confusion over what is considered Crown land and what is private property. He questioned whether Crown land that is leased, to logging companies for example, is considered private and therefore exempt from the regulations. Similar questions arise over properties surrounding utility items such as power lines. “They’re implementing something without putting the answers out there,” he said. And Evernden has tried to track down those answers. He sent his concerns to the contacts listed on the province’s website dedicated to the new regulations but has yet to hear back. “This is mainly geared towards the mainland. I can’t see much happening here on the Island.” Bill Rai, owner of Maxxam Insurance and Realty, 867 Goldstream Ave., said while they have not had too many West Shore residents come in to register their vehicles, there has been some confusion on the new regulations,

are paid for, Thomson said a portion of the licence revenue will go to off-road clubs to use for trail improvements. He also said the registration will help combat vehicle theft and promote responsible use of ORVs while keeping users safe. The province estimates there are 200,000 off-road vehicles that require licensing, including snowmobiles. About 35,000 of those have been registered voluntarily since the new licences were offered a year ago. Evernden also raised the point that if they are now paying, they should be provided somewhere to ride legally locally. He added that this would also help alleviate the number of riders trespassing in areas outside of the West Shore. But he fears the distinction between private and public property NOVEMBER 12 - 14 will still be left up to local law enforcement to determine. A government spokesperson said enforcement duties will mainly be carried out by Natural Resource Officers and Conservation Officers but their initial focus will be on education until people become fully familiar with the new requirements.

adding that like everything else, it would take time to educate brokers and the public.

(Left) Ken Taylor, owner of Langford’s newest McDonald’s location, checks out some of the more than 25,000 entries received for their grand opening giveaway.

View Royal resident wins big As part of its grand opening, Langford’s newest McDonald’s restaurant, located in Rona’s spacious parking lot on the corner of Veteran’s Memorial and Langford parkways, offered a chance to win roughly $6,000 in Whirlpool appliances donated by Trail Appliances West Shore. After receiving more than

25,000 entrants for their Trail Appliances Giveaway, Ken Taylor, owner of the new location, was delighted to hear that Mary Ferrarelli of View Royal had won the big prize. “I love that we were able to partner with Trail Appliances West Shore and be able to offer a prize pack of such substance,” he said.

The new restaurant has far surpassed its projected results, Taylor said. He was very pleased with the response to their contest and their new state of the art restaurant where ordering can be done on their touch screens, designed with the disabled in mind. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Two local kilt makers are breathing fresh life into the classic garmentmaking tradition. Jackson Wagner and Justin Guthrie are on a mission to bring the joy and freedom of everyday kilt wearing to men and women of all ages and are opening a store in View Royal to help them do just that. Due to the surging popularity of kilts, fuelled by a growing trend of personalizing weddings, their business has grown out of Wagner’s retrofitted garage in Langford to their new retail location. “This is our first big venture,” says Wagner, co-owner and kilt maker at North of Hadrian’s Kilts and Celtic Clothing. “Business put us there sooner than expected.” AFD The business partners couldn’t be happier with the growth, he says, but they are terrified just the same. But the duo know kilts – Wagner, for example, only owns one pair of pants. “I have a beat-up pair of jogging pants,” he says, noting they’re for emergencies such as having to run out of the house quickly, say to escape a fire. He doubts, however, that he would grab the pants over a kilt in the middle of the night. “I’ve worn kilts for a little over two

decades. It’s so comfortable to wear a kilt, so why not wear one?” He compares the experience to getting out of the shower and wrapping a towel around your waist. “Once it’s on … You just can’t help but stand a little taller and put a little swoosh in your pleats as we say.” For those unsure of the process, Wagner says there really is no wrong way to wear a kilt. From a style perspective, they range from the more traditional through to leather studded ones. With thousands of different tartans to choose from, he says, there’s something for everyone. “We often tell people, don’t try to put yourself in a mould … If you like what you see you’re doing it right. There’s no such thing as someone who shouldn’t wear a kilt.” For those a little wary of sudden gusts of wind, Wagner assures that “Marilyn Monroe moments” are rare. “I have yet to give someone a free show,” he says, laughing. After a soft opening through October to fine tune the storefront, Wagner and Guthrie will celebrate the grand opening of the first North of Hadrian’s store front, 264 Island Hwy. this Saturday and Sunday (Nov. 14 and 15) from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Celebrations include a tartan ribbon cutting Saturday and traditional Scottish music performed by the Vancouver Island Caledonia Pipe Band. Wagner said there will also be some special discounts and deals to mark the occasion. For more information go to north ofhadrians.com. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Q: WHAT ARE SOME OF THE BENEFITS TO LIVING IN A SELFSUFFICIENT AREA? There are many factors to consider when buying a home. But besides the physical structure itself, and all that goes along with it, are a number of external factors to consider. With the Greater Victoria housing market moving quickly, especially in areas of the West Shore, buyers need to be ready to pounce on houses listed in those desirable neighbourhoods. In addition to the certain charm many high-demand neighbourhoods provide, many potential buyers are looking at neighbourhoods based on their self-sustainability. This means that neighbourhoods, and their surrounding communities, provide residents with job opportunities as well as meeting all of their recreational, shopping and social needs. With all of these amenities in close proximity to one’s home, residents don’t need to travel out of the area and often don’t even need to get into their cars to run errands or go to a movie. This can create a healthier home environment, provide a positive return on investment (in terms of future sale-ability) and can have a positive impact on the environment. For those who have ever been stuck in the Colwood Crawl, the opportunity to spare oneself some time behind the wheel is worth its weight in gold. Not to mention, saving money on gas. This self-sufficient concept is being embraced by many West Shore municipal councils and has been encouraged in a number of Official Community Plans. Real estate listings usually provide a walkability score to help inform potential buyers about some of the features in the surrounding area.

Crews are busy finishing the Lakeside Village development off Six Mile Road in View Royal. The site will feature 15,000 square feet of commercial-retail zoned space and will connect to surrounding trails.

Commercial development in View Royal to make area more self-sustainable New development encourages a sense of community near Thetis Lake Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

The new Lakeside Village development in View Royal has been catching the attention of passing motorists and pedestrians. In fact, that entire area of Six Mile Road near Thetis Lake has been drawing some attention. “It’s great to see it coming along,” said View Royal Mayor David Screech. “It’s a pretty good spot.” The project, by X.W. Sunrise Developments Ltd., at 430 Six Mile Rd., features sloped property with rock outcroppings bordering Garry oak and native wildflower ecosystems,

and is steps away from Thetis Lake Park. According to their website, the area include four buildings that will surround a large landscaped courtyard. It will feature 15,000 square feet of commercial-retail zoned space as well as an outdoor play area for children, performance area for musical entertainment and lots of parking. The development has used sustainable building practices to help conserve energy and minimize the project’s overall environmental impact. The naturally landscaped areas around the buildings will be irrigated by a storm water runoff collection system. Developed to encourage a sense of community, the heart of the build is the centre courtyard, designed to be a gathering place. The site also plans to tie into the surrounding trail systems to better connect it to the area.

Screech said the overall plan for the area has always included a commercial development; “the residential just got built first.” While he predicted the opening is still several weeks away, Screech said Urban Ground Market and a frozen yogurt shop have been confirmed as tenants. He said they were also hoping to get a restaurant in there as well. While the intended plan for the development was to help make the residential area surrounding it more self-sufficient, he said Thetis Lake users will also benefit from the facilities, as there isn’t much else in that area. He thought the idea of frozen yogurt being so close to the lake during the summer months sounded pretty good. “This will be one of the last pieces of the puzzle,” Screech said, noting the area is pretty much built out but still needs some of the com-

mercial amenities that fit in View Royal’s Official Community Plan. He said the OCP encourages walkability and developments such as this one, which help residents shop locally without having to get into their cars. He said the OCP also encourages builders and developers to utilize sustainable building practices. But for those that don’t live in neighbouring homes, he did note that the area, along with the rest of View Royal, is easily accessible by major transportation linkages making it a great stop for passing motorists. In fact, location is one of the factors that Screech said makes View Royal so great. “It’s very easy to access,” he said. “We have a wonderful urban community.” While he may have a slight bias, Screech said View Royal is “the best place to call home.” katie@goldstreamgazette.com
