RCMP auxiliary roles reduced Decision comes from Ottawa Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Colwood Corners #6 - 310 Goldstream Ave.

View Royal Mayor David Screech is marshalling support to counteract a RCMP directive from Ottawa that handcuffs the role auxiliary members can perform.

Under this new RCMP directive, released earlier this year, auxiliary constables across Canada will no longer be allowed to accompany regular RCMP officers on ride alongs and will have other activities curtailed, including traffic control and bicycle patrols.

Screech is preparing a motion to the Association of Vancouver Island and Coastal Communities (AVICC) to ask the RCMP to reconsider the restrictions. If it is approved by the AVICC, the plan is to forward it for consideration at the Union of British Columbia Municipalities annual convention in September.

“We will ask the province to work with us to allow them (auxiliary constables) to carry out their work as before. What bothers me most is that this was done without any consultation by Ottawa,” Screech said. “It will affect us here on the West Shore and will have an even greater impact on smaller communities.

They are an invaluable resource and visible presence in our communities and a great training source for potential offi-

cers,” he added.

Auxiliary members, who are all volunteers, assist the West Shore RCMP with events and work that reduces the financial burden on the communities they police. View Royal, Langford and Colwood share the cost of operating the West Shore Detachment.

Screech cited Rock The Shores, an annual outdoor concert in Colwood, as a great example. “They carried a large portion of the load. Having to pay for regular officers could have a major impact on the feasibility of that event.”

Const. Cole Brewer, a former coordinator of the West Shore RCMP’s auxiliary constable program, said the review was initiated in the wake of the terrorist attack in Ottawa as well as the death of RCMP Const. David Winn and the wounding of Auxiliary Const. Derek Bond in Alberta last year.

“I know those incidents were taken very seriously,” Brewer said. “The RCMP is ultimately responsible for ensuring the safety of our volunteers, especially those in uniform.”

Lorne Fletcher, a 26-year veteran of the West Shore RCMP auxiliary constable program, said he believes the changes are a result of the RCMP looking out for the safety of its volunteers and being cognizant of the duties performed by volunteers.

Emotions run high at sewage clarification meeting Committee rejects costing request for solo plant at McLoughlin Point

plant on the West Shore was defeated in a tie 8-8 vote following an emotional debate around the board table at last week’s meeting.

Young said he has “grave concerns” that the Rock Bay site will not receive the necessary zoning from Victoria council, and looking at a single plant at McLoughlin would give the board a better idea on costs in order to provide a more informed decision.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins pleaded with the board to not move forward with consideration of McLoughlin as the primary option.

“To have this come forward does not reflect the democratic decision making of council or

When the core area liquid waste management committee looks at options for a site for the Capital Region’s sewage treatment plant, a lone plant at McLoughlin Point will not be among the choices on the table at Wednesday’s meeting.

A motion from Victoria Coun.

Geoff Young to consider an advanced wastewater plant at McLoughlin Point with a small

respect the public who have come forward to speak against this,” she said.

Young said the Rock Bay site would also likely face vocal opposition, while Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said getting more detailed costs on a lone plant at McLoughlin would allow for an “apples to apples comparison so we around this table can make an informed decision.”

Saanich Mayor Richard Atwell said the debate left him feeling sick to his stomach and he was tempted to walk away from the table.

“We came here for clarification and now we’re radically changing [the options]. We need to back BMW Victoria

THE HUNT IS ON

from Colwood was able to make one amendment to the recommendation for staff, directing that a West Shore plant be considered in combination with the other sites identified in the options.

View Royal Mayor David Screech said the debate around the table left him wanting to scream.

“It is ridiculous that we have politicians around this table limiting [information for] staff,” he said.

“Politically driven motives are trying to design a sewage treatment system. It is absurd the level of political interference in making what should be a good engineering decision.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

away from this.”

When the committee reconvenes today (March 9) it will decide on three options being prepared by staff: a plant at Macaulay or McLoughlin, as well as a plant at Clover Point and another on the West Shore; a plant at Macaulay or McLoughlin, as well as plants at Clover Point and Rock Bay and another on the West Shore; or to optimize the option for a single plant at Rock Bay with a smaller plant on the West Shore.

The recommendation emerging from that meeting will be forwarded to the full CRD board of directors for debate that afternoon.

Changes to help protect auxiliary members Continued from Page A1

FenceMaster Fencing crew members Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Greene install a fence for free on Peatt Road.

Community rallies to assist veteran New fence built by caring craftsmen Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

The best defence is a new fence.

When Jason Rose, owner of FenceMaster Fencing, heard about persistent problems with people vandalizing Langford resident Robert Wright’s fence, he originally planned to repair it as an act of kindness.

Once he saw the condition it was in, he decided that building a new fence would be the best option.

Wright, 85, has had problems for years with people damaging the fence on his Peatt Road property where he has lived for the past 20 years.

He said he wanted to thank everyone who has helped out.

“It means a lot to me,” said the Korean War veteran and selfdescribed permanent bachelor. “It’s quite a task and something I could not have done at my age.”

Rose said he has been impressed by the outpouring of support, donations and assistance from the immediate community and beyond, that Wright’s story has generated.

Social media has played a major

role in marshalling other outpourings of support for Wright, with people making donations and offering to assist after hearing about the situation through VictoriaBuzz on Facebook.

Offers have included installing a security camera system, as well as an eye test and new eyeglasses, among others.

More than $4,000 has even been raised through a Go Fund Me campaign.

Rose said his Langford-based company had a good year last year, and the new fence, which he estimated would cost $5,000, was his way of giving back.

“It’s my good deed for the year and I hope it makes a real difference for him,” Rose said while working on the fence with his crew last week.

FenceMaster employees Kyle Hamilton and Jordan Greene were happy to work for free on the fence.

“I feel fortunate to be able to be a part of this,” Hamilton said. Greene said he hopes the story will inspire other people to step up and help out in their community.

The new fence and landscaping was completed over the weekend and those who helped out took part in a reveal on Sunday. reporter@goldstream gazette.com

Homeless shelter’s indoor units ready for occupants One View Royal homeless person among the new residents Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

Choices Transitional Home in View Royal should be at full capac-

ity this week once new security upgrades are installed.

Grant McKenzie, director of communications for Our Place, which manages the temporary shelter at the former youth custody centre at 94 Talcott Rd., said about 24 people initially took advantage of tents erected in the courtyard area.

Once the security upgrades inside are completed, involving

• • • • •

mostly changing locks, he expects a similar number of people to move in.

“Almost all of the people are from tent city,” Mckenzie said, referring to the homeless encampment on the courthouse lawns in downtown Victoria.

“We accommodated one homeless person who was living in View Royal that asked to move in.”

McKenzie said some of the people living in the courtyard tents have expressed a desire to move indoors at the facility, which offers meals, hot showers and laundry service.

B.C. Housing made about $450,000 in funding available for Choices Transitional Home for a sixmonth period. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Fletcher, manager of community safety and municipal enforcement for the City of Langford, said he has seen a number of significant changes to the program over the years.

He served when they carried firearms, a practice that was discontinued a number of years ago.

“The RCMP recognizes that the auxiliary constable program poses challenges and the demands are different than for volunteers in other programs,” said Fletcher, the first auxiliary member in B.C. to ride in the Cops for Cancer Tour de Rock.

“Part of the responsibility of being an auxiliary constable is acknowledging directives and decisions from the chain of command.”

Coun. Lillian Szpak, chair of Langford’s protective services committee, said the committee discussed the ramifications in detail at their last meeting on Feb. 23.

“Ride alongs, traffic control and the bike patrols have been a boon to our community and we really regret the loss of those services,” Szpak said.

“They are all wonderful volunteers who make a real difference.

Unfortunately we have no control, and the West Shore RCMP has no control over decisions from Ottawa.” reporter@news gazette.com

Local group gearing up to sponsor a refugee family Westshore Refugee Sponsorship group looking for volunteers to aid in efforts Katherine Engqvist News Gazette staff

A group of West Shore residents has banded together to raise the funds, goods and supports required to sponsor a refugee family.

The group, made up of volunteers from various West Shore churches, wanted to do something on a manageable scale as a way for West Shore residents to aid in the refugee crisis.

The Westshore Refugee Sponsorship Group (WRSG) started last fall with five members

Katherine Engqvist/ News Gazette staff

Hilary Mackey and Linda Van Sickle, as well as the rest of the Westshore Refugee Sponsorship Group, are inviting residents to attend an information session at 7 p.m. on Thursday, at Westside Bible Church, 3307 Wishart Rd., to learn more about what the group is doing to sponsor a refugee family.

taking on the initial push to get the project moving. They are now looking for like-minded volunteers to help get over the final hurtles.

“It’s only one family but it’s something we can do,” said Hilary Mackey, a WRSG chairperson. “It’s quite the process.”

There are three types of sponsorship categories. The first is private sponsorship, where an individual or group covers all of the costs and needs of a sponsored refugee. The second is government sponsorship, where all of those things are covered by the government. The third is a blended sponsorship where the costs are shared by an individual or group and the government through cost sharing agreements.

“We are a blended group,” said Mackey.

She added that while ideally the government would contribute roughly 50 per cent of costs, in this case it would be more like 30 per cent due to the high cost of living in the area.

WRSG secretary, Linda Van Sickle is a wearer of many other hats, just like the other members in the group. She said “we are so blessed to be living here in Canada.” Part of that privilege, she added, is helping others in any way we can.

And this isn’t the first refugee family Van Sickle has had a hand in helping get to Canada. When she lived in Saskatchewan, she was involved in sponsoring a family from Poland.

“It was just a remarkable time, a remarkable experience,” she said. “We still keep in touch.”

But before the local group can summit an application for sponsorship, they must have the finances and other resources in place to support a sponsored family.

Then once they have all of their paperwork filed, Van Sickle said the process will happen quite quickly, with families already being preapproved by the government.

However, getting those required funds in place is no small task. The startup costs estimated to support a refugee family of four is $40,000. Van Sickle noted some items, such as public transit passes are not included in that figure but are also provided for families.

To help with costs, Mackey said they are looking to collect some donated items, such as furniture. But with limited storage space in the meantime, the group is hoping to hold off on collecting the bigger items just yet.

The group is also looking for people wishing to donate services, such as English lessons. “I think most people want to be of a specific help… Some people have more time to give, some have more money,” she said, adding they can issue tax receipts for monetary donations, which are being collected through the Church of the Advent, 510 Mt. View Ave. Mackey also noted West Shore residents can aid in their efforts by helping to organize some of their upcoming fundraisers or even just attending them.

“We’re looking for any kind of help people can give,” she said. “It’s a hand up to people looking to take care of themselves and each other.”

She also stressed there is room in the group for anyone else wishing to get involved.

“We’re going to work hard and it’s going to be fun,” she said adding, “it already has been fun.”

A Neil Diamond is forever Tribute artist sparkles in Langford for one night only

R OYAL O AK RETIREMENT COMMUNITY

Arnold Lim News Gazette staff.

Whatever you do, don’t call him an impersonator.

Jason Scott’s celebration of Neil Diamond, as a tribute artist, not as an impersonator, brings the veteran musician - sparkling shirt and all - to the Langford Legion to pay homage to the musician with Diamond Forever.

“The show is like having a big party and there is tons of stuff to do and prizes to win and songs to sing and dancing to do and laughing to be had,” Scott said.

“And all of that is driven by the iconic songs of Neil Diamond.”

The allure of that iconic singer and songwriter whose sixdecade career took him through one of the top-ten grossing concert tours in 2015 is magical, he said, especially so considering he’s 75 and continues to inspire and bridge the generational gap.

“Kids go kicking and screaming to Neil Diamond concerts and when that is over they are grabbing parents and asking for the album at the merchandise counter,” Scott said. “Every year there are more and more fans.

He knows presidents by first name, what else can you say, he’s Neil Diamond.”

The 2-hour show is sprinkled with numerous Diamond facts, such as after Elvis Presley died,

Jason Scott of Diamond Forever, performs at the Reel Awards in the Golden Nugget Showroom in Las Vegas. his band went to work for Diamond.

A meet and greet and audience participation, both on the stage and in the crowd, are among some of the highlights of the show.

The conservatory-trained singer who started off in cover bands through the 80s said he was forced to re-invent himself several times over the decades.

That ended when he started singing Diamond’s songs at a karaoke bar following an evening out with his family. The rest as they say, is history.

After hearing the crowd cheer while he was singing, Scott said he had an idea. “I got a light on my head and thought maybe the horse has a few goes around the track left.”

Scott is even featured in Diamond Mountain, a documentary feature film about the trials and tribulations of Diamond tribute

artists from around the globe.

He’s the only Canadian tribute artist featured in the film and said his career has been growing.

“It’s taken a lot of years and just in the last couple of years it has been turning the corner nicely,” he said of his show.

And after being raised in a military family, Scott is also looking forward to bringing that show to the Royal Canadian Legion Prince Edward Branch #91.

“Everyone is gonna have to wait till I finally get to Sweet Caroline before they really get to go crazy,” he added.

The show takes place on Friday, March 11, and doors open at 7 p.m. with the show starting at 8.

Tickets are $25 and available for purchase at the Legion, 761 Station Ave., and can be picked up at the Legion bar. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Disabled citizens poorly served The most recent increase to the government’s disability allowance was touted as if the provincial government was passing out gold bars.

In fact, the province was merely boosting the monthly amount by $77.

For many people living in this province, that will be less than a month’s rent if the year’s That $77 is a worth of increase is single trip to combined.

It’s a single trip to the the grocery grocery store. store for many Then the province decided to compound its stinginess by yanking back some of the money.

If you get a government-funded bus pass, you only get $25 a month. And depending on your transportation method, it can be as low as $11 a month.

These allowances are intended for people who, by definition, may have great difficulty finding work, and an even greater challenge finding housing.

Transportation is astonishingly difficult.

For those with physical disabilities, a cracked sidewalk or poorly built crosswalk can be insurmountable obstacles. And transit, while better than a generation ago, does not provide anything like full mobility, especially with the death by a thousand cuts being inflicted on HandyDart, through a failure to increase service levels over the past few years.

Most government assistance in B.C. can barely keep an individual or family out of abject poverty. It keeps people from starving or freezing, and that’s about it.

It is supplemented by a variety of nongovernmental programs, including food banks and Meals on Wheels. Without countless volunteers and the aid of scrambling non-profit groups, things would be dire indeed.

Clawing back a meagre increase, as the cost of living heads ever upward across our province, shows that the B.C. Liberals do not value all citizens equally.

Clark’s stand-pat strategy on the B.C. carbon tax is going to change this year, as positioning begins for the 2017 election.

A B.C. government advisory panel has recommended a 33 per cent increase, conveniently starting in 2018, with annual increases after that.

The current seven-cent-per-litre carbon tax on gasoline sold in B.C. is hardly a deterrent these days, as pump prices have tumbled and could stay low for years to come.

And with a fragile economy, it seems unlikely that a big boost in carbon taxes will find favour with voters a year from now.

The B.C. NDP is trying to rebuild its credibility on climate policy.

NDP leader John Horgan tried to revise the party’s history, claiming in year-end interviews that the NDP didn’t oppose the carbon tax, only making it revenue neutral rather than spending the money on green initiatives, as Alberta wants to do.

Alas, the NDP’s “axe the tax” campaign going into the 2009 election is a matter of record.

The party’s election platform warned that Campbell’s plan “increases taxes for average families by tripling the gas tax” to its current level.

Last week the NDP issued a news release denouncing Clark for presiding over increasing greenhouse gas emissions.

LETTERS Housing for disabled before homeless Re: View Royal facility opens its doors to region’s homeless (Gazette, Feb. 26) I am curious how many of the Gazette readers wouldn’t agree that we should take care of our own before taking care of others whom need aid.

What I am referring to is that I know of several people, like myself, who are disabled and on a B.C. Housing wait list and have been for two to five (or more) years.

Recently, one of your articles mentioned the $450,000 B.C. Housing con-

tributed to housing the homeless. While watching television, I recently saw that Syrian refugees are also being housed by B.C. Housing.

My question is this: why are we not being housed as well?

When I contacted B.C. Housing, I was told that they still had no idea when I or anyone else who is on a CPP disability pension will be housed.

I quote,”for every unit that becomes available, we have 500 of you we must

Disabled should be getting more help Re: No free bus rides for most residents (Your View, Mar. 4) I read Andre Mollon’s letter about welfare benefits with some interest.

I find it interesting that he felt disabled people were getting unfair special treatment in the form of additional monies and benefits beyond a non-disabled welfare recipient’s.

I have to wonder if he doesn’t realize the disabled have additional needs over healthy folks and if he understands welfare is supposed to be temporary help for those able to work. So it should only cover bare essentials to those who use this ministry’s services and money. This helps give them motivation to get to work like the rest of us had to.

Does this seem fair?

I am the son of a refugee myself, so I am not against helping them. But I am disturbed that otherwise healthy and capable of working “homeless” are being housed before we are.

So I ask, am I being selfish in this or do I have a point?

create. Floating these hypothetical numbers is irresponsible without the context of the other socio-economic impacts that come along with a gas plant.

How will this project affect property values? What will the impact on Butchart Gardens and other tourism operators be?

Will there be a cascading effect on tourism throughout the region?

There are countless economic development opportunities for Malahat First Nation’s Bamberton property, that are compatible with the well-developed local economy around it. A gas plant is not one of them.

Medical marijuana consistency proven Re: Bowing to the power of judges (B.C. View, Mar. 1) Tom Fletcher missed the bull’s-eye regarding cannabis (marijuana) implying it’s an inconsistent herbal remedy that hasn’t been studied much because it’s been illegal.

Government subsidized prohibitionists in North America have hindered research progress, however, the plant has been documented medically for over 5,000 years without a single death. That’s safety and consistency on a Biblical scale.

Re: First Nations Chiefs oppose Malahat LNG project (Gazette, Mar. 4) The Saanich Inlet is not a suitable place for a six million tonne gas liquefaction plant.

The proposed Malahat LNG facility is in no way compatible with any of the activities that residents and business owners currently enjoy in the Inlet.

We are proud of the recovery that is happening, we celebrated the return of the humpback whales last summer and we have been working to restore the world-renowned fishery. A gas plant in the Saanich Inlet is a preposterous idea.

How to get the most out of your eye exam

Ah yes, a New Year and all those resolutions you don’t keep. Attending to your eye health is one resolution you should keep. A complete eye examination is your most valuable tool in ensuring a lifetime of healthy eyes and clear vision.

To provide you with the best eye and vision care, your Optometrist needs to know a few things about your health, how you use your eyes, and any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing.

Make it clear what you want or what is bothering you at the beginning of the exam. Some people wait until the very end of the exam to mention what is really worrying them. Perhaps this is from embarrassment or the feeling that the complaint is trivial, but the Optometrist will be better able to give the problem the time and attention it requires if it is mentioned early. Few complaints are silly and even minor symptoms can be important.

Know your medications or, even better, bring a list.

Knowledge of your family history of eye disorders is extremely helpful.

If you have a complaint like a headache, try to describe it as accurately as possible: time of onset, duration, frequency etc.

Be able to describe your work environment. Knowing the distance to your computer or desk makes it much easier to prescribe and design the appropriate spectacle lens.

Consider the hobbies and sports in which you participate. You may use your eyes differently for recreational activities than you do for your job, or you may require suitable eye protection.

Don’t forget to bring the glasses that you wear every day along with any old ones that you still may use.

Any other old glasses may be brought in and donated for use in third world countries.

Do not wear a lot of eye makeup.

If you wear contact lenses, inquire if the optometrist will want you to wear them to the exam. This varies from one optometrist to another and with the purpose of the visit.

Ask if your eyes will be dilated. If the answer is “yes”, avoid driving yourself to the examination and consider bringing sunglasses.

And finally, relax! Eye examinations are not painful, and can even be fun.

Intention to Dispose of an Interest in Regional District Property

District hereby gives notice of its intention to provide assistance and dispose of its fee simple interest in the following lands: Civic Addresses: 938 Ironwood Court, Langford Legal Description: Lot A, Section 1, Range 3 West, Highland Land District, Plan VIP58052 Person Acquiring the Land: Greg Reinhart

The Capital Regional District (CRD) received the Land for a nominal sum in 1994 for the purpose of operating a water utility on the property. The CRD agreed in Statutory Right of Way agreement EN103840, that should it ever cease operating the water utility, it would transfer the Land for a nominal sum to the owner of the adjacent property legally described as Lot 3, Section 1, Range 3 W, Highland District, Plan VIS4554. The CRD has ceased operating a water utility on the Land and has removed all associated infrastructure.

Reader Photo

of the Week Lois Gardner captured this image last spring of Kenwood Park on Terrahue Road in Colwood. The park used to be Gardner’s grandparents’ back garden. The Colwood resident said Frank and Bessie Kenwood’s fruit trees and bluebells are still well cared for by City crews. Admiring the view, is the Kenwood’s eldest child, Elizabeth.

If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every week, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to editor@ goldstreamgazette.com.

Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper.

Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page.

Good luck!

The week to track down leaks!

In one year, a leak of one drop per second can waste 10,000 litres of water – more than enough to supply all the water you need for cooking for one year. Fix a Leak Week is the perfect time to check for and repair leaks around the home.

During this week, the CRD is offering a free Fix a Leak Week kit that includes: dye tablets to check for toilet leaks; a drip gauge to measure how much water is being wasted from a dripping faucet; a shower bag to determine shower head flows; a copy of the Household Guide to Water Efficiency; and other information brochures.

Residents may pick up a leak kit (while quantities last) at one of the following locations: •

CRD Integrated Water Services office: 479 Island Hwy, View Royal

•

CRD Headquarters: 625 Fisgard St., Victoria

For more information about finding and fixing leaks inside and outside your home or to find out more about Fix a Leak Week, visit the CRD website at www.crd.bc.ca/leaks or call 250.474.9684.

Season measures growth for Bulldogs

Heroes face off against NHL alumni The 2016 Heroes Hockey Challenge game took to the ice on Sunday at The Q Centre in Colwood.

With the familiar voice of John Ashbridge, the longtime announcer for

the Vancouver Canucks, fans cheered as former Canucks and other NHL alumni faced off against the hometown heroes, made up of local stars from the Canadian Armed Forces.

Some of the NHL alumni team members included Kyle Wellwood (above), Ty Gretzky, son of hockey icon Wayne Gretzky, Garry “Iron Man” Unger (left), and Terry Bingley (right) between the pipes. Proceeds from the event went to support the Princess Patricia Canadian Light Infan-

try Foundation, an organization that provides supports for former service members and their families.

The Belmont junior boys basketball team came up short in their quest for a provincial championship but their coach is convinced they’re headed in the right direction.

The team managed a record of three wins and two losses at the provincial championship tournament, which took place Feb. 27 to March 1 at the Langley Events Centre.

The Bulldogs beat Surrey 77-64, Kelowna 59-53 and Prince George 66-54.

A 58-48 loss to South Kamloops and a 68-42 setback to Abbotsford left Belmont in the middle of the pack in the standings for the 32-team tournament.

Head coach Curt Spaven said he is pleased with the steady progress the team is making. “It was a very successful season considering three years ago the school didn’t have a junior team and two years ago we didn’t win a game all season,” Spaven said. “We held our own against (Surrey’s) Lord Tweedsmuir who finished second in the Fraser Valley, arguably the toughest league in the province. That shows we’re getting closer.”

The team’s core is solid with three players returning next year, Spaven noted. Belmont captured the Lower Island division this year and finished in the top 20 B.C. ranking.

“We hope to maintain a level of competition where we’re a threat to get off the Island every year,” he said.

Lucas Gage, with two nods, and Julius Kennedy were named player of the game in the Bulldogs victories.

Gage, however, insisted the honour go to Isaac Ickovich for one of the games.

“That shows how close the guys are,” Spaven added.

Top-ranked Brentwood College from Vancouver Island won the tournament. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

Royal Bay team looks to next season The Royal Bay junior girls basketball team finished strong in provincial play.

The Ravens, ranked 12th going in, finished 12th.

Head coach Dave Awalt said the girls played really well and had some tight games.

In their final game against the 10th ranked team, Langley’s Brookswood secondary school, the Ravens lost by only two points for a final score of 53-51.

Player of the game honours were awarded twice to Hannah Cormode, as well as Lauren Awalt and Rachel Schmidt.

He added that considering the Ravens were one of the youngest teams in the tournament, their future looks bright. He expects up to eight players will be returning next season and highlighted some talent moving up from Dunsmuir middle school, which finished in 11th place at the Grade 8 provincials last weekend. katie@goldstream gazette.com

Westshore Wolves lose in double overtime thriller Determined playoff effort comes up short in six games

The Panthers now move on to the next round with games going March 8 and 11 against the Victoria Cougars.

Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

The Westshore Wolves’ playoff run died in dramatic fashion last week with a 2-1 doubleovertime loss in Game 6 to the Peninsula Panthers.

It was a seesaw series from start to finish, with the Panthers taking the first two games by scores of 3-0 and 6-4, before the Wolves struck back with 3-1 and 3-2 wins.

Peninsula prevailed in Game 5 with a score of 6-5, setting the stage for the March 2 nail biter before about 1,000 fans at The Q Centre in Colwood.

Colorado native Branden Tanguay scored the only goal for the Wolves before Spencer Loverock’s overtime goal clinched the series for Peninsula.

Wolves owner and general manager Ken Carson said it was a hard-fought series between the two teams, that finished the regular season only one point apart in Vancouver Island Junior hockey League standings.

Carson said expectations weren’t high for the team going into the season, in what he termed as a rebuilding phase, because they had to replace 70 per cent of the players from last

season.

“We finished in the middle of the pack, which is what we anticipated going into the season,” Carson said.

“Our goal and mission is to develop younger skilled players, so I think the season was successful in that regard and we’re on the right track.”

He noted, “we have three players moving on to the British Columbia Junior Hockey League, and another to the Western Hockey League.”

The Wolves will also lose Jesse Nixon and Adam Page as both players are aging out, so there are lots of openings for next season, Carson added.

Goalie Leighton Williams earned the Bob Saunders Community Leadership Award for his efforts on and off the ice.

The team will be conducting its annual spring camp April 8 to 10 at The Q Centre.

Trade adds size and grit to Shamrocks Brebber stoked to be back in Victoria Rick Stiebel News Gazette staff

The Victoria Shamrocks added grit, size and scoring ability with a trade for Paul Brebber.

The team acquired the sixfoot-one-inch, 195-pounder from the Nanaimo Timbermen in exchange for a second round pick in the 2018 draft.

Brebber is entering his fourth season in the Western Lacrosse Association and has racked up 78 points in 49 games, including 43 goals. The 25-year-old right-

handed shooter also posted 78 penalty minutes in his first three seasons in the WLA. The former first-round pick

by Nanaimo in the 2013 junior draft is a Nanaimo native, but currently lives and works in Victoria.

Brebber, who played junior lacrosse in Victoria in 2012, said he’s excited about the opportunity to wear a Shamrocks jersey again.

“I got to finish my junior career here and I’m looking forward to being a part of this great organization,” Brebber.

He is also looking forward to meeting his new team mates when training camp starts next month to begin preparing for a follow-up to last year’s champi-

CAFE VI PrE s Ents Family Bu siness s tor ies & Ha pp y sta FF

onship season.

The significance of playing his first game against his old team is not lost on Brebber. “There’s quite a rivalry there for sure,” he said. “It will be interesting to be on the other side of that.”

Shamrocks head coach Bob Heyes described Brebber as a hard worker and a character player with a scoring touch, and said his physical play and character will add size and grit up front.

The Shamrocks kick off the 2016 WLA season on May 20 at The Q Centre.

Wednesday, March March 9, 9, 2016 2016 -- GOLDSTREAM GOLDSTREAM NEWS NEWS GAZETTE GAZETTE Wednesday,

Island Health employment forum Wednesday in Colwood If you are considering a career in health care, this employment preparation fair is the perfect prescription for you.

Work Link Employment Society and the Military Family Resource Centre are hosting a forum on March 9 featuring a presentation by Rod O’Connell, strategist and talent acquisition specialist for Island Health.

O’Connell will cover how to navigate Island Health’s online application system, preferred style of resumes, interview preparation and more.

Island Health, one of Vancouver Island’s largest employers, only accepts online applications. Employment is not limited to health care, with jobs available in 900 other

categories.

Barbara McLean, community co-ordinator for Work Link Employment Society, said that at a recent job fair, 50 people indicated they had applied to Island Health, but only one received an interview.

The fact that Island Health Authority hires about 2,200 people a year from a pool

of more than 90,000 online applications underlines the importance of proper preparation when applying, McLean added.

The event takes place from 10 a.m to 12 p.m. at the Military Family Resource Centre at 2610 Rosebank Rd. in Colwood. For more information, call McLean at 250-478-9525. reporter@goldstreamgazette.com

We’re looking for an ambitious, target-hungry Sales Representative for our 9iFtoria oÉ?Fe

July 6, 1931 ~ February 24, 2016

Born July 6, 1931 in Sri Lanka, Doreen passed away peacefully in Victoria at the Saanich Peninsula Extended Care Unit on February 24, 2016. She is survived by her two grandchildren; Aaron Arndt and Colleen Arndt, nephew Russell Abeyratne, grand-niece Clairre Abeyratne, extended family (Nikki Kokkinis and relatives in Australia) plus many friends in the Westshore area.

Doreen was a very caring, gentle spirit who was always warm and friendly to all those she encountered. She was a social enthusiast who enjoyed going on weekly outings to bingo and church, and shopping trips to the local MiniPrice. She will be lovingly remembered by all those who knew her, and her uncanny knack for telling jokes will never be forgotten.

A celebration of life will be held on March 12 at 1:00pm at Church of the Advent, 510 Mount View Ave, Colwood. In lieu of flowers donations in Doreen's memory to the SPCA would be appreciated. For online condolences please go to www.sandscolwood.ca/obituaries Sands Colwood
