McKenzie interchange work to start by next fall Commuters from West Shore likely to follow plans closely Tom Fletcher Black Press

Having been involved in crossfit training for several years, she only took up powerlifting in the spring. These days she’s in competition training mode, settling into a training regimen of six days a week in preparation for the Commonwealth Powerlifting and Bench Press Championship. From Dec. 1 to 5, she’ll be among 525 lifters from 15 Commonwealth countries competing at the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The B.C. government has presented three possible designs for a new interchange at Highway 1 and McKenzie Avenue north of Victoria, which Transportation Minister Todd Stone has called the worst traffic bottleneck in B.C. Stone said Monday there will be extensive consultations with area residents on the options for the new interchange, but the intent is to have “shovels in the ground” by late 2016 and the interchange open by the fall of 2018. In conjunction with the West Shore parkway project through Langford, the new interchange should “go a long way” to eliminating what south Vancouver Island commuters have come to know as the “Colwood crawl,” Stone said. The project will include separate bus lanes and a separated path for the Galloping Goose cycling and hiking trail. Stone said the ministry is confident all three options can be built within the $85 million budget of the project, and a fourth option could be considered if public input indicates that it is needed.

Langford resident Stephanie Needham is a bookkeeper by day and a powerlifter by night. The 58 year old only began powerlifting this year but is already looking like a medal contender in her weight and age classes at an upcoming international meet.

Age just a number for powerlifter Langford lifter preps for international competition Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

Stephanie Needham lifts more than double her own weight. Perhaps more impressively, the 58-yearold powerlifter deadlifts more than 264 lbs., a number that is four times her age every time she straightens out her body and hoists

the cast-iron weights into the air. Every time the Langford resident steps up to the bar, the athlete turns heads. “Just being able to say that I can back squat 250 lbs. and I’m 58 years old, I think it keeps me young because everyone else is younger,” she said. “It’s always fun when I can do stuff that people half my age can’t do.” While her specialty is the deadlift, Needham said she is currently “grooving” on the bench press, of which she can push 132 lbs. or more into the air.

Food Bank relies on community Surge of donations helps stock dwindling shelves Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

A decline in monetary donations over the summer months has left the shelves of the Goldstream Food Bank looking rather barren. “It was worse than usual,” said Gayle Ireland, president of the Goldstream Food Bank. She said while donations are expected to be sparse in the summer months, this year’s were much lower than expected. But a recent surge in donations has helped the society push forward and continue to help West Shore residents. One of those large donations came from the Langford branch of the Royal Canadian Legion, which donated $5,000 to the Goldstream Food Bank Society and $3,500 to the

Westshore Christmas Hamper Fund Society. “It’s a blessing. It couldn’t have come at a better time,” Ireland said, adding they would probably put the donation to good use in the new year to stock the shelves. “It will allow us to purchase a lot of food.” The Goldstream Food Bank Society, a registered charity, has a staff entirely made up of volunteers that receive no monetary stipends or allowances. The society’s facilities are housed in the basement of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 91, 761 Station Ave. in Langford, and supports residents of View Royal, Langford, Colwood, Highlands and Metchosin. The demand for their hampers remains high throughout the year. Terri Orser, Branch 91 vice-president, said the Food Bank helps “so many people in our community that are less fortunate.” She noted that the Legion likes to support them because they are not only attached (physically) to the legion but also support a number of veterans. She said the Christmas Hamper Fund provides holiday hampers for veterans in supported housing. Orser said Branch 91 raises money throughout the year to donate through 50/50 sales and meat draw raffles. They like to make a donation at this time of year, as both societies are ramping up for the holiday season and demand in the new year. The Food Bank Society is usually open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays of the first three weeks of the month to provide food hampers but during the month of November, they are open every week. In December, the Westshore Christmas Hamper Fund Society takes over operations and provides hampers for the month. While they are two different societies that operate very differently, they are run by the same core group of volunteers “It’s a different mission, a different society, but the same people,” Ireland said, adding they also get a surge of volunteers from local businesses to help with the Christmas hampers. “We just switch hats Dec. 1.” While the Food Bank budgets and carefully plans to meet regular needs, the Christmas Hamper Fund operates a little differently by predicting how many hampers it will need over the holiday, stocks them and then pays for them in the new year. “You hope the money comes in and it always does,” Ireland said. Ireland said recent donations from Thanksgiving food drives by the Juan de Fuca Junior Hockey League Association and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints saw “thousands of pounds of groceries” also help stock the food bank’s shelves. She noted that food drives from Spencer middle school and the Real Canadian Superstore, along with other fundraisers, also went a long way in supporting the food bank. “It’s the citizens and small businesses that keep us going,” she said. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

The provincial and federal government announced funding in July, with $52.4 million from the province and $32.6 million from the federal government. Asked if the project could end up resembling the multi-traffic circle exchange connecting Highway 17 to Victoria airport, Stone chuckled. “We’re very conscious with this particular interchange that you will not see it from space,” Stone said. “The McTavish interchange does its job very well. There has been feedback from the public that perhaps it is a bit over-engineered.” The proposed designs can be viewed online at engage.gov.bc.ca/mckenzieinterchange/.

GOLDSTREAM GOLDSTREAM NEWS NEWS GAZETTE GAZETTE -- Wednesday, Wednesday,November November18, 18,2015 2015

Langford road works aim to streamline traffic flow Separate projects connected in the larger scheme Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

The Highway 1 off ramp to Leigh Road is set to open at the end of the month, but the City of Langford has its eye on improving traffic flow in the entire area. “We’re going to be very busy over the next two years,” Michelle Mahovlich, Langford director of engineering, said of the City’s upcoming projects. “They’re all on our major thoroughfares … It’ll be nice to have a few more northsouth connections.” The first of those projects set to be completed is the Leigh Road interchange project. Thanks to cooperative weather early last week, paving of the southbound offramp was completed, leaving the installation of barriers on either side as the only work remaining. A traffic signal to be installed at the ramp’s intersection with Leigh Road will be activated when the ramp is opened officially on Nov. 28 at 2 p.m. “As soon as we open that ramp the Goldstream exit will be closed simultaneously,” Mahovlich said. The Spencer Road access to the Trans-Canada Highway was closed as part of the project last summer. With the Goldstream Avenue access closed, crews will begin construction in December on an acceleration lane from West Shore Parkway onto the TCH. “They’ll finish it in early 2016,” Mahovlich said, adding that the extended timeline is due to some expected delays caused by concrete plants shutting down for about a month over the holidays for maintenance work. She noted that rain and a required minimum temperature could also cause delays in any paving jobs. Crews are also nearing completion on safety improvements to McCallum Road from Florence Lake Road to Springboard Place, with hydro poles scheduled to be relocated this month and next. But if you’ve been in the area you have probably noticed crews working on the extension, or completion, of McCallum Road from Cavalcade Terrace to Florence Lake Road. Hydro work is

The Leigh Road and Goldstream Avenue intersection could receive a makeover next year that includes a traffic light. City of Langford staff hope to bring a detailed proposal before council next year for their perusal. Katherine Engqvist/News Gazette staff

expected to be completed in this area early next year and once that work is completed, curbs, sidewalks and road paving can be finished connecting traffic between the Millstream and Leigh Road interchanges. “We’re hoping to open spring 2016,” Mahovlich said. “Once this is open it will make a big difference.” In the meantime there is a temporary, one-way access, open to connect traffic from McCallum Road to Florence Lake Road via Citation Road, which is meant to be an emergency access only. This emergency access road is only open from 10 a.m. Friday to 6 p.m. Sunday for the months of November and December. But it is only open one-way for traffic traveling from McCallum Road to Florence Lake Road. Also on the City’s radar is connecting the Bear Mountain area down Skirt Mountain to the Leigh Road interchange. Like the Leigh Road interchange project (with the exception of the final offramp), that connection would be developer-funded, not paid for by taxpayers. “It is definitely something that

council has an interest in building out,” said Mahovlich, adding that no formal plans are in palce at this time. However, Dan Matthews, [resident and CEO of Bear Mountain owner Ecoasis, told the Gazette recently that there has been movement toward planning out such a road project. “That’s our front door,” Matthews said. “When we acquired Bear Mountain, we bought it on the assumption of putting the dollars aside for that.” He said the ownership of the land in between Bear Mountain and the TCH end of Leigh Road has been unsettled, but is now more settled, to the point where the company’s meetings relating to the road connection are happening far more frequently. “I am extremely hopeful that we will have some definitive announcements about it sometime in 2016.” The City also has plans for improvements at the south end of Leigh Road. Mahovlich said the Westhills Land Corp. will undertake this work in 2016 as part of its development agreement with the City.

These improvements will see Leigh Road connected to Langford Parkway and will allow commercial traffic from Henry Eng Place to access Leigh Road directly, instead of travelling on Dunford Avenue. Mahovlich noted there have already been some delays on that project due to the road base still settling. And there could be further delays, as the City is still determining if rail arms will be needed at track crossings. Delivery of the units takes about a year from the time they are ordered, Mahovlich said. A detailed plan is also being formulated to install a traffic light at the Leigh Road and Goldstream Avenue intersection. The expectation is that staff will bring the proposal forward for council approval sometime next year, with the possibility of installation as well in 2016. Possibly the largest road-related project in the works for Langford is the completion of West Shore Parkway, for which the funding was announced last summer. While a number of contracts have already been awarded for different segments of the proj-

ect, Mahovlich said the bulk of construction will not begin until spring 2016 and “will extend into 2018.” This project will see 3.2 kilometres of road constructed, connecting it from the current intersection at the TCH to Sooke Road at Awsworth Road. A portion of this project will also include the installation of dual left turn lanes on the TCH for traffic turning onto West Shore Parkway. This project is estimated to cost $22.5 million and is funded by one third each from the federal and provincial governments. The final third is from the City of Langford’s Road Development Cost Charge program, which is developer funded. Also of note, the sewage line extension taking place along Goldstream Avenue is in the final stages of the project and should be finishing up over the course of the next few weeks. “They’ll pave it before Christmas,” she said. General questions or comments regarding anything road-related in Langford can be emailed to engineering@cityoflangford.ca. – with files from Don Descoteau katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Master powerlifter keeps getting stronger, says her coach happen until it happens in competition.” Needham competes in the Masters II division for athletes age 50 to 58, and in the under-84 kg weight class. Her personal best total lift is 638 lbs. (289 kg).

OUR VIEW

Security questioned after Paris attacks As details of the sinister terrorist attacks on separate sites in Paris last week unfolded, many of us on the West Shore and beyond stopped in our tracks and wondered just how far terrorists would go in their bid to create global chaos. The way the Paris attacks were carried out was random and indiscriminately violent, a strategy that is becoming the calling card of the group known as ISIS. Besides the 129 (and counting) people murdered in Paris, other equally disturbing human massacres occurred over the past few days. Suicide bombers killed 43 in Beirut and at least seven died in bombings in Baghdad. While our leaders insist that Canada is safe from such carnage on our home soil, the weekend attacks are enough to send a chill to those in Greater Victoria who live in relative safety, a tiny blip on the map for those seeking to inflict maximum human damage and suffering. As our newly elected federal government analyzes the international role it will play moving forward after this latest barrage by ISIS and other groups, some of the discussion has moved toward how Canada should deal with its promise to accept 25,000 Syrian refugees into the country by the end of this year. On social media and many mainstream news outlets, some have said we should think twice about accepting these people given the news that some of the Paris terrorists may have posed as Syrian refugees. We’d like to believe the new Minister of Public Safety when he says the screening process for refugees will be “strong and robust.” We also agree with his later comments that no system is perfect. In general, the federal government must do what it needs to, as a way to ensure the safety of its citizens on home soil. While the Liberals may have a different mindset than the Conservatives when it comes to national security, we won’t be surprised to see measures instituted that may make civil rights activists and libertarians in this country cry foul.

allegations of subsidizing fossil fuels, actual subsidies are huge in petro-states like Venezuela, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Algeria and Indonesia, where gasoline sells on average at a third of Canadian prices. China and India’s carbon emissions have about tripled since the Kyoto public relations gesture in 1997. That growth is one reason why Canada’s share of global emissions has now fallen to below two per cent. Here in B.C., Clark intends to unveil her “Climate 2.0” plan before heading to Paris. We’ll see if it includes another increase in B.C.’s vaunted carbon tax, which now translates to about seven cents on a litre of gasoline. Even without carbon taxes, about a third of the pump price Canadians pay is federal, provincial and local tax. In Metro Vancouver, it’s closer to 40 per cent. In Venezuela, a big winner in the Keystone XL decision, gas sells for around two cents a litre. The B.C. government admits its post-carbon tax reduction in greenhouse gas emissions was largely due to the global recession of 2008-09. Now with crude oil at historic low prices, B.C.’s carbon tax is a weak signal lost in the noise of a worldwide glut of oil and gas. Tom Fletcher is legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press.

LETTERS Lagoon vehicle access beneficial to many Re: Sanctuary area being ruined by traffic (Letters, Nov. 11) I am a senior who was born in Victoria and has lived in Colwood since 1982. Esquimalt Lagoon is for everybody, not just walkers. I drive along the Lagoon every day and find no trouble, and as I don’t walk easily, it is so nice to sit in the car and gaze out at the sea. Closing Lagoon Road and Milburn Drive off at the Ocean Boulevard end is a bad idea. Can you imagine what the traffic would be like on Metchosin Road? It’s bad enough now. It is so nice to see HandiDART buses, and cars with older people sitting there, out enjoying everything. No, the lagoon is for young and old to enjoy. Colwood does the best they can in keeping it up.

Financing supportive units is a tricky business Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps may have great vision and a realistic plan to tackle the homeless pandemic in Victoria by asking the Capital Regional District to borrow millions over the next 15 years. It’s much like taking out a mortgage to buy a house only it might involve multiple financiers instead of one. There are, however, some slight flaws in her plan, which she has somehow worked the interest expense, after deducting revenue from welfare’s meagre shelter allowance, to cost each household the price of three lattes, as she says. In lieu of raising everyone’s taxes $30 to $60 a year, hopefully the CRD can put their $400 million budget under scrutiny and redirect some of it to paying down this mortgage if they do vote to borrow and find financiers. However, there is another slight issue Lisa Helps might not have thought of. What if the provincial government does not cough up the $7 million-plus she says it would cost to run the supportive housing units? Andre Mollon Langford

Highlands CAO Chris Coates has vacated his position after more than nine years of service to the District. Highlands Mayor Ken Williams said Coates has contributed much to the District. “He brings a wealth of experience to any position he holds in local government, given the diversity of … the types of positions he’s held,” Williams said in an email. “We are very saddened by his announcement to move on, but not surprised, and we wish him well and feel that the City of Victoria is very fortunate to have such a talented and capable individual join their staff.” The Nov. 2 council meeting was Coates’ last and was a very special one at that. He was awarded the Highlands’ Medal of Honour for his outstanding service to the community. Tim Woods will be stepping in as interim CAO, handling the transition to a permanent replacement. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Belmont hosting Island’s top girls volleyball squads Bulldogs the underdogs this weekend Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Belmont secondary is showing off its sparkling new gym this weekend, as it plays host to the Vancouver Island senior girls AAAA volleyball championships. The Bulldogs hope to play more than just gracious hosts, with berths in the provincial championships on the line. They’ll be in tough, however, as three Island teams competing here are

ranked among the top 10 in the province. Mount Douglas, which has battled Oak Bay for top spot in league and playoff play this season, overtook the Breakers in the B.C. top 10 rankings last week. Dover Bay, which will host the provincials Dec. 3 to 5 in Nanaimo, has also come on strong this year and enters as a tournament favourite. “We don’t normally have that many teams ranked from the Island,” said Belmont coach Mike Toakley. “It’s going to make for a good tournament.” His Bulldogs wound up third in the Islands seeding tournament

among Greater Victoria teams last week. The most direct route to provincials is to win Islands: two automatic berths are available, one for Dover Bay, the other for the highest finisher otherwise. “Beating Dover Bay is not as important as beating Mount Doug or Oak Bay,” Toakley said. “We’ve taken a game off Oak Bay this season; we’ve been awfully close in matches against Mount Doug. Hopefully being the home school might be the edge that we need to get us over the hump.” The two next highest finishers in the Island tournament qualify

Grizzlies look to end road swing on winning note Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Victoria Grizzlies head coach Craig Didmon’s goal for his team heading into its current five-game road stretch was for the team to improve its record away from The Q Centre. Mission accomplished. Heading into tonight’s (Nov. 18) B.C. Hockey League game against the Clippers at Frank Crane Arena in Nanaimo, the Grizzlies

had collected five of a possible eight points on the road. And the Island Division fourth-place Grizzlies (9-13-0-3) have the second-place Clippers (13-10-0-1) in their sights, having pulled to within six

points by going 7-3-0-1 in their last 11 games. Three weeks ago, with the Grizzlies struggling to find the win column, other teams in the division were likely thinking making playoffs would be a cinch with the Grizzlies dropping out, Didmon said. “But (now) we’re right in the hunt.” The weekend’s threegame swing through the mainland and Interior ended with a narrow 2-1 loss in Trail on Sunday, but Didmon, speaking as the team left Cominco Arena, said his players “answered the bell and never quit. I think we outshot the other team every night.” With a couple of days’ rest this week, he added, “I know we’ll be ready for (Nanaimo).” Against the Smokeaters, Victoria’s Dante Hahn gave the visitors a 1-0 lead late in the first, but Trail came back with a power play goal from Kale Howarth and a shorthanded marker

from Spencer McLean in the second. The Grizzlies outshot Trail 12-5 in the third and 30-15 overall in a game that saw Smokeaters goalie Linden Marshall named first star. On Saturday in Merritt, Victoria led 3-1 in the second after scoring three straight goals and hung on for a 3-2 win. Tyler Welsh had a goal and an assist to lead the Grizzlies, while defenceman Brett Stirling, with his first of the year, and Brayden Gelsinger also scored. Goalie Matthew Galajda stopped 25 of 27 shots for the victory, including 12 in the final period, while Trail’s Colten Lancaster stopped 29 of 32. On Friday in Coquitlam, Luca Leone scored 1:58 into the second overtime to give the Express a 4-3 win over the Grizzlies. Victoria trailed 3-1 in the second, but Nick Guiney converted a Stirling pass late in the middle frame to make

it a one-goal game. Cody Van Lierop tied it up 6:47 into the third on a pass from Keyvan Mokhtari. Overall, Didmon said, the road trip showed that, “we’re a team that is just getting better and better and each week.” Victoria’s next game back at The Q Centre, the first of five straight at home, goes Thursday (Nov. 19) and sees a rematch against Trail. On Friday the division-leading Cowichan Valley Capitals return to the building in which they’ve lost their last two games. Puck drop is 7 p.m. both nights. The Bear Facts … Brayden Gelsinger continues to lead the team in points (26), with five goals and 21 assists in 25 games, good for 18th in the BCHL. Guiney leads in goals with eight, while Welsh, Mokhtari and P.J. Conlon have 16, 15 and 14 points, respectively. editor@goldstream gazette.com

Atessa Flamand of the Belmont Junior Girls Blue team drives a spike against a Stelly’s player during a tournament at Belmont school.

Belmont juniors at the top again Girls volleyball Islands await Belmont Blue Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Thanks to a sweep in the city ‘A’ junior girls volleyball tournament, it’s on to the next stage of the playoffs for Belmont Blue. The Langford-based side, joined by city tournament runner-up Claremont, heads into this weekend’s eight-team Island championships in Mill Bay as one of the favourites. “We planned this last phase of our season as a four-parter,” said Belmont coach Ken Lowe. “First we wanted to see some of the mainland teams in South Delta, then this weekend was city’s, and hopefully you can cross Islands off our list and then it’s provincials.” Coming off a significant tournament win the previous weekend in North Delta – one of the sites of the upcoming provincial championships – Belmont Blue rolled through the city competition. They wound up an undefeated tournament at Oak Bay High by sweeping Claremont two games to none in Saturday’s final, after knocking off Oak Bay in the semifinals. Claremont beat Pacific Christian 2-0 in the other semi while, Oak Bay downed PCS 2-1 for third place.

While the experience and size of the Belmont players won out in the end, Lowe said Claremont showed well in the final. “They played good, organized team volleyball and that’s something we didn’t see from them last time, when they had some players missing,” he said. The two sides join three teams each from the North and the midIsland at the Island tournament, being hosted by mid-Island playoff winner Brentwood College. Among the six non-Victoria area teams, Belmont has played Carihi and Timberline from Campbell River this season. “Carihi played us very tough at the VIU tournament,” Lowe said, “and Timberline has a good team as well.” Timberline, Brentwood and Gulf Islands secondary join Belmont in one of two round robin pools. The draw sees pool winners advance to the semifinals, with the final happening Saturday afternoon. The top six teams qualify for the expanded provincials draw. The B.C. tournament has jumped from 24 teams to 32. Belmont gained some potential advance knowledge for provincials at the South Delta tournament. They beat Langley Christian 25-10, 25-17 in the final, after dispatching Delta’s Seaquam two straight in the semis and Vancouver’s McGee in the quarters. Belmont went 3-0 in pool play. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

If you wear glasses, there is much more to choose from than just frame styles. Due to technological advances over the past few years, there are wide ranges of practical and affordable options available for the lenses themselves. Be sure to ask your optometrist or optician about the lens options that are available, including the following: Anti-reflective coating: This feature helps eliminate annoying reflections and the “ghost” images some people see. AR coated lenses actually transmit more light for clearer vision. These lenses can help people who drive at night by reducing glare from oncoming headlights. Photosensitive lenses: These special lens materials “darken” when you are exposed to different intensities of outdoor light. The brighter it is outside, the darker the lens becomes. This lens works best when you are outdoors and therefore is not the best sunglass for driving. UV coating: A protective coating that blocks harmful ultraviolet rays. The latest UV coatings can help protect the eyes without changing the look or color of the lenses. Color tinting: Any color tint can be added to your lenses in gradients ranging from 10-90%. This can be used for style, to give your glasses a unique look, or for certain health reasons (eg. cataracts). Color tints can be combined with UV coating for added protection in the sun. Scratch protection: A clear coating that helps protect plastic lenses from scratches and other superficial damage. This option is pretty much mandatory for just about anyone wearing plastic or high index lenses. There are different scratch resistant coatings available depending on the level of protection a person needs. All of these options, combined with advances in lens design (for example aspheric, progressive and high index lenses), mean that today’s spectacle wearer is guaranteed greater comfort. While at your Optometrist’s office ask what your best lens options are for your prescription.

Navy League cadets honoured Members of the Navy League Cadet Corps Admiral RH Falls, Juan de Fuca branch, can be seen parading out of their hall on Dunford Road in Langford almost every Tuesday night. This past season, the group was especially proud to receive awards for Outstanding Navy League Cadet and Cadet of the Year for Vancouver Island. The Corps’ coxswain, CP01 Belle Kroeger has worked hard the past four years to embody the goals and values of a Navy League cadet. She maintains her uniform to the highest standard and wears it with pride while marching at the hall and in other parades across the region. She set an example for her peers to emulate and led her cadets throughout the year, building puddle ducks, skateboard sailboats and assisting the cadets and officers whenever required. While maintaining her grades and participating in several extra-curricular events at her school, Kroeger is also a dedicated member of the community, volunteering whenever the opportunities arise, including fundraisers, recycling drives, bottle drives and poppy drives. With the support of her peers and the volunteer officers at Admiral RH Falls, she was able to step out of her shell and into a leadership role – guiding 24 cadets forward in their training through the year to receive a Gold Burgee for the Corps from the Vancouver Island Division President at the Annual Cadet Review, the

They are also always looking for new recruits and anyone aged of nine to 11 interested in joining is welcome to observe the cadets in action on Tuesday nights from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. at the hall. katie@goldstreamgazette.com

Colwood resident Alan Johnston caught a glimpse of this occasional visitor to souther Vancouver Island. He said this sandhill crane showed up near Esquimalt Lagoon earlier in the fall, perhaps taking a break from migration. Johnston said the crane was very focused on foraging for bugs and other delicacies in the long grass and didn’t seem too bothered by people passing by.
