Riding the wave of continued support for the New Democratic Party in the Cowichan Valley, Alistair MacGregor captured the new riding of Cowichan-Malahat-Langford in Monday’s federal election.
MacGregor, who worked for retired NDP MP Jean Crowder for years, won the riding by a land-slide of more than several thou-sand votes ahead of Conserva-tive candidate Martin Barker and
Liberal Luke Krayenhoff.“The people of Cowichan-Mala-
hat-Langford have sent a clear message tonight.” MacGregor said. “You voted for change. Rejecting the politics of fear and division, you voted for a better and more inlusive Canada. And that was a good thing.”
He assured everyone, even those who supported other can-didates, that he was “going to fight for those values every single day.” He thanked his team, “espe-cially for keeping going when we were so tired after an 11-week campaign.”
The other West Shore riding saw a tight race as the votes began being counted, but in the end, New Democrat incumbent Randall Garrison was re-elected to the realigned riding of Esqui-malt-Saanich-Sooke on Monday night.
Garrison was in a battle early on with unheralded Liberal David Merner, but managed to pull away as the poll numbers came in.
He was declared elected by the time 50 of 229 polls were counted, having built a lead of more than 700 votes. Garrison called his vic-tory “bittersweet, but added “I’m
looking forward to working hard over the next four years and I’m going to keep the Liberals’ feet to the fire.” Among other things, he vowed to ensure the Liberals keep their promise to review the Bill C-51 anti-terror bill.
Asked how he would do that as a member of the third party in Parliament, he said, “New Demo-crats have always had a strong voice and being the third party won’t change that.”
Liberal majority a stunner, NDP wins West Shore
In an overwhelming performance that began with a sweep of Atlan-tic Canada and was maintained, despite lukewarm support in Brit-ish Columbia, the Liberal Party and leader Justin Trudeau were swept into office with a majority govern-ment Monday night.
However, the national support for the Liberals appeared to trans-late into votes in both West Shore ridings.
David Merner finished second in the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding, while Luke Krayenhoff ran neck-and-neck with Conserva-tive Martin Barker for second in Cowichan-Malahat-Langford.
Krayenhoff, a late replacement following the resignation of Maria Manna, gave kudos to winner Alistair MacGregor of the NDP. Krayenhoff noted, however, the Liberals made an impact.
“The Liberals have made a strong showing in this riding,” he said. “We’ve got everything to be proud of.” Of his party’s national accomplishment, he added, “We had no idea it would be such a strong success. We’re just over the moon.”
Among the changes he said the Liberals plan on implementing is a change from the first-past-the-post system that this time saw the Liberals declared to form the next government before the polls in B.C. even closed.
“We’re going to look at all options, but we want one where people can vote on principle, more than voting so strategic all the time.”

Mobile unit saving lives
Arnold Lim/News Gazette staff
Clinical nurse educator Tracy Johnson shows off B.C.’s Mobile Medical Unit, a hospital on wheels once used at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
Kendra WongBlack Press
From the outside, the province’s mobile medical unit simply looks like a white truck. But stepping inside is like entering another world.
The interior of the 16-metre, 1,000-square-foot tractor-trailer looks like the emergency room of a hospital. There are stretchers, medical supplies, monitors, portable X-ray machines, ultrasounds and crash carts.
The high-tech hospital on wheels and additional support trailer, administered by the Provincial Health Services Authority, can be deployed any-where in the province when disaster strikes or when additional capacity is needed to cope with emergencies or large-scale public events.
With five full-time staff, the unit is deployed to the regional health authorities in the province throughout the year to help support hospitals and
health centres undergoing renovation, hosting out-reach clinics and providing disaster training and education with site clinicians.
Its latest stops were on the Island, including Victoria General Hospital where they provided roughly 60 local clinicians with disaster training and trauma education. It also stopped in Esqui-malt, providing pediatrics, asthma and allergy care to the Songhees First Nations.
Alyshia Higgins, program manager for the mobile medical unit, said it’s flexible in the type of care it can provide during a deployment.
“We’ve really expanded the scope of our pro-gram. Initially, the thought was that we would pro-vide support for disasters and emergencies. But we really can fulfill a variety of means,” she said, adding a few babies have been born in the unit when they were in Pemberton.
In 2012, the unit was deployed to its first emer-gency to provide care for up to eight patients at a time when Surrey Memorial Hospital’s emergency room was flooded
While the unit is outfitted for the rare disaster, Peter Hennecke, clinical operations director, said an important aspect has become education and outreach work.
“We’re like a catalyst for change. We’re working with the emergency health services, fire, bring-ing all these groups together for education that doesn’t always happen if you don’t have that cata-lyst,” he said.
The unit costs roughly $900,000 annually to operate with funding divided between Fraser, Inte-rior, Northern and Vancouver Coastal Health, as well as the Vancouver Island Health Authority.
The Provincial Health Services Authority works with the health authorities to deliver province-wide solutions that improve the health of British Columbians.

CRD remediation site progressing in HighlandsMillstream Meadows site filled with history, among other things
Katherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff
A project decades in the making is begin-ning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. But getting through that tunnel could still be a long process.
The Millstream Meadows site in High-lands is entering the final stages of remedia-tion but still could have another five years before the property will be ready for sale.
“We don’t know exactly how it’s going to turn out,” said Highlands Mayor Ken Wil-liams. “It’s very preliminary.”
Millstream Meadows is a 32-acre site that was used as an unregulated dumping site for septage waste from approximately 1941 to 1985.
Initially the site was privately owned but the province acquired and operated it for a brief period in 1974. It came into the CRD’s possession in 1984 before it was closed in 1985.
In 2008, the CRD and the province began the remediation process after contamina-tions were identified and removed roughly 76,000 metric tonnes of soil from the site. Contaminates found included metals, hydrocarbons, household debris, construc-tion refuse, auto parts, PCBs, sewage and oil waste.
The goal of this remediation project, which has seen cooperation between the province, the CRD and the District of High-lands, is to see the property returned to
public use. But the CRD must acquire a certificate of
compliance from the B.C. Ministry of Envi-ronment that will deem the site safe for use before the property can be sold.
To comply with those environmental and rezoning requirements the next phase of remediation will require an approved pro-fessional to complete investigations and risk-assessment activities, and submit appli-cations to the Ministry of Environment.
Last week the CRD Board voted in favour
of entering into that next stage and allowing staff to begin the competitive processes of receiving bids for environmental consulting services and detailed site investigations.
CRD board chair Nils Jensen said once a consultant has been selected, that group would be able to determine an updated timeline for the completion of the project once assessments have been done.
Those assessments will also help to deter-mine when the CRD will be able to sell the property, which is currently predicted for
2020, and which portions of the property they will be able to lease out in the interim.
An overall budget for the project was esti-mated at $10.5 million. To date $9 million has been spent with an estimated $2.7 mil-lion in outstanding costs still projected.
“We hope to recoup most of that.” Jen-sen said the CRD plans on doing that with income from leasing and eventually the sale of the property, adding “it’ll depend on mar-ket conditions at the time.”
Those costs have been shared, with the CRD contributing roughly 60 per cent and the provincial government contributing the other 40 per cent.
“This is an excellent example of different levels of government working very collab-oratively to correct a historical situation,” Jensen said. “It’s been a very positive expe-rience.”
Williams said the Highlands council was asked by the CRD to begin moving forward with a rezoning application that could see the land redeveloped for commercial or light industrial use.
“Remediation has to be set to much higher standards for residential use.” Wil-liams said the application was still in its early stages and the next steps will be for council to review the site before it is passed onto the committee level.
“This is a comprehensive approach,” he said, adding that “it’s going to be a long-term plan.”
The District is also looking at another rezoning application for an adjacent prop-erty and plans to develop a thorough strat-egy for the entire area.
“Everyone in the region seems to be on the same page with this one,” Williams said.

West Shore RCMP traffic officers are out in full force this month, reminding motor-ists to obey the law requiring them to slow down and move over when they see any flashing lights. Unfortunately, it’s not just first responders who know what can hap-pen when passing motorists get distracted and get too close.
Westshore Towing Ltd. owner Dave LeQuesne has been in the towing industry since he graduated high school in the mid-1980s. He said without the visible presence of flashing red lights and first responders, many drivers don’t bother to move over.
“It’s different when we’re out there by our-selves,” he said, adding that some motorists even yell and make rude gestures at work-
ers when they block a lane to make the area safer to work in. “It’s just a matter of time before one of us gets hurt and by then it’s too late.”
He said the chances of someone coming home after being struck by a vehicle travel-ing 80 km/h on the highway is very unlikely. “It’s not your normal nine to five office.”
The “slow down and move over” law was amended in January to include all official vehicles, not just first responders. If you see red, blue or yellow flashing lights, you must slow down and move away from the parked vehicles when safe. If traveling on a road with a speed limit of 80 km/h or greater, drivers must slow down to 70 km/h or less. If the posted speed limit is less than 80 km/h you must slow to 40 km/h.
Many people don’t understand the rela-tively new law and how it impacts every-
one working the white line, not just first responders, LeQuesne said. “It’s hard when you’re out on the road.”
His experience on the side of the road isn’t just limited to a tow truck. He also served with Langford Fire Rescue and grew up around the fire hall. He was actually in a fire truck, backing it into the station with all of the lights flashing, when it was struck by another motorist on the road.
“We’re just too busy,” he said of drivers in general. “We don’t focus on what we should be doing when we’re driving. People need to get back to the basics.”
Police will be on roadsides reminding drivers of those basics and that moving over creates a buffer from traffic, minimiz-ing the chances of someone being hit – and they’ll be handing out stiff fines to those who don’t listen. This targeted enforcement
is the focus of the West Shore RCMP in October, as well as continuing to remind motorists of the consequences of distracted driving.
Detachment spokesperson Const. Alex Berube said it is critical for drivers to under-stand that official vehicles are not just emer-gency responders, they also include tow trucks, commercial vehicle safety enforce-ment inspectors, constructions crews and highway maintenance crews, among others.
“This law exists for the safety of roadside workers, first responders and those in need of help,” Berube said.
He reminded that if drivers fail to slow down and move over they could face a fine of $173 and three penalty points on their license. But other consequences could be much worse.
Slow down and move law includes all roadside workers

A recent discovery of roughly 50 needles in the sand at the Esquimalt Lagoon in Colwood
has prompted the City to respond with extra efforts to make sure the beaches are safe for residents.
Colwood’s communication man-ager Sandra Russell said bylaw officers already do a daily beach
clean-up along the Lagoon, but have added additional staff mem-bers for an “intense” check.
She said this extra effort will continue until there is an extended period in which no needles have
been discovered. Since the initial discovery, offi-
cers have continued to find a handful of needles, but only one or two at a time.
Last week, at least one of their searches yielded no results and City staff hope that trend will con-tinue.
Russell said it wasn’t clear if the needles were dumped from the bridge or from a boat, but they definitely came ashore from the ocean and were not placed there by someone.
“It was quite clear they came and washed ashore,” said Russell,
adding it was evident in the way they were discovered in the sand at the high tide line. She said it appeared that a number of the needles were for insulin and some still had their orange packaging.
The City also contacted Island Health to confirm there are no other additional measures they should be taking.
“We’re really grateful for the people that called promptly to let City staff know,” Russell said add-ing that if any residents have con-cerns, City Hall staff members are happy to take their calls.

Golden arches ready to shineOne hundred new jobs at new location
Arnold LimNews Gazette staff
Langford now has its third McDonald’s restaurant.
Rona’s spacious parking lot on the corner of Veteran’s Memorial and Langford parkways now hosts Vancouver Island’s newest McDonald’s restaurant. The new location boasts 95 seats over 5,200 square feet, dual-lane drive throughs, Victoria’s first self-serve kiosk at a McDonald’s and more than 100 new, local jobs for the community.
“We have been eyeballing this side of Langford for a very long time, it is very underserved because there is huge growth in the West Shore,” said owner Ken Taylor. “With Royal Bay coming on, West Hills, Bear Mountain activating again, the whole West Shore is alive and vibrant... This is the best opportunity right now that we see on the Island.”
Taylor, a Colwood resident of six years, opens the fourth McDonald’s on the West Shore, joining one inside the Walmart across the street, one on Millstream Road, on one on Island Highway in Colwood. He also owns one in Esquimalt and one in Sooke.
“We do a lot of market research and this site indexed extremely well, in fact it is as well an indexed site as McDonald’s has ever seen,” he said. “They call it the 1000 per cent store, taking into account traffic counts, population, (where people) work, live and shop - it is all in this zone. Everything that McDonald’s looks at, all converge here.”
The new locations is also the very first to carry their new line of bakery items including croissants, lemon loaf, strudels alongside an expanded coffee bar. The restaurants manager Rhonda Glowasky, a View Royal resident, brings 22 years of experience at McDonald’s over from the Millstream location to help open the new restaurant. She said this location will be served by the community, for the community.
“We have hired more than 100 people from the community at this restaurant,” she said. “That is one of the things we really want to do, we are very focused on local... It is critical.”

EDITORIALOUR VIEW
As the dust settles from Monday’s federal election, to paraphrase for-mer prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again.
The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free trade election, by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. But things didn’t go as planned at the talks in Maui, and Canada was among the players that walked away from the Trans-Pacific Part-nership table at that time.
Then came five days of round-the-clock negotia-tions in Atlanta, with the U.S. pushing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to normalize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. And the TPP came together at the end of September.
Canada and B.C. essentially got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultry and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lumber sales.
The 200-kg gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election cam-paign, and the Kim Campbell rule was demonstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text
of the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed their pitchforks, counting their blessings, and their guaranteed
compensation.The NDP was forced
to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But it’s getting lonely for them as the rest of the world moves on.
Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on “extreme poverty,” which it defines as an income of less than
$1.90 U.S. a day. And 2015 is the first year when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this global poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012.
It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running shoe and cell phone facto-ries in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those coun-tries shows steep decline since 1990. Trade and technology are lifting up the poorest of the world.
For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits.
The question for us is simple. Can we compete in health sciences, engi-neering, architecture, digital media, and information technology? Do we want to?
The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with NAFTA, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agree-ment, which expired on Oct. 1.
I’m told by federal and provincial officials that at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics.
After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has pro-vided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government gen-eral revenue.
Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015, and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agree-ment is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year.

Let’s get real about trade deals
Is Ottawa ready to change?
As this marathon of an election finally comes to a close we can’t help but ponder what this next chapter in Canadian history will look like.
Early predictions warned of voter fatigue and burnout but we saw the opposite during town hall meetings and all-candidate forums.
This tight political race, both on the national stage and in our own two West Shore ridings, among others on the Island and in the province, seemed to captivate the attention of voters. It inspires comment and dialogue, two things that often get overlooked in the political process. We hope this trend will continue.
West Shore residents voiced their concerns on the issues closest to their hearts. We heard many healthily narratives about the environment, economy, child care and climate change, among others. We know how much these issues matter to our readers and moving forward we hope that will inspire movement on the national stage.
And residents will soon get their chance to let their member of parliament know what issues they want addressed in Ottawa. They will have their chance to help shape national policy before it effect the West Shore and its residents in more ways than one.
At least we hope West Shore residents will get their say.
Residents have indicated on many different levels that they want change in the way our federal government operates. They no longer want the adversarial framework that the government has historically fashioned.
Voters want to see collaboration among the parties to make Canada the best it can be. What has fatigued voters’ interest in this election is attack ads, bickering, bullying and name calling. Parliament isn’t a playground and these aren’t the values we want taught to our children or broadcast around the world.
Our politicians are supposed to be leaders. And Canadians have asked them to stand up to that role.
But only time will tell us if Ottawa is ready to change. If not, we may be back at the polls sooner than we all believe.

Re: “Rezoning pressure plagues Colwood” (Letters, Oct. 14)
The writer has it all wrong. Far from being committed to “tax-producing” endeavors, Colwood city management goes out of its way to ignore such picayune concerns. Wit-ness its refusal to rezone properties that harbour Telecom towers and devices. The Telecom industry enjoys residen-tial zoning status despite the fact that B.C. Assessments labels telecommunications as a utility. And the tax rate for utility zoned properties in Colwood is more than 14 times higher than the residential rate.
So why is city management not rezoning these proper-ties and taxing them at the appropriate utility rate? Why is it not rezoning and, thereby, lessening the ever increasing tax burden on the rest of us?
Because, as city management points out, a land use bylaw allows the Telecoms to be placed on residentially zoned land and, as a consequence, to be taxed at the lower residential rate.
So what’s city management to do in such a situation? Continue to ignore this inequity? Or change the bylaw? Changing the bylaw, after all, is within its functional ability. It is certainly within its mandate. And it’s within its obliga-tion to the taxpayers of Colwood. But is it within its DNA to override what, on this issue, appears to be a pathologi-cal inertia?
If the past is any indication, you already know the answer.Dennis Noble
ColwoodDangers of democracy
Re: “Being choosy an iffy strategy” (Our View, Oct. 7)I am writing in response to the non-appearance of PC
candidates, and the danger to democracy it represents. It has long been my understanding that politicians were elected to serve the people they represented. That if a majority (50 per cent plus) of the elected parliamentarians supported their voters opinions on an issue (example:
right to a healthy environment) than that issue would be put in a bill and passed. With todays ‘whip’ policy our parties have to ignore what their constituents want and vote for what the party leader says. This policy applies to NDP, Liberal and PC. The only party who allows its elected members to vote their conscience is the Green Party. This destruction of the fundamental of democracy, that those elected represent their constituents, is the reason that it is imperative that every person get out and vote. Together, we can elect a government that represents the values of our community and works to ensure Canada is healthy, safe and democratic.

Stocking lake helps encourage outdoor activities
Arnold LimNews Gazette staff
Brett Parker eases a large metal tube into the water.
With chest waders up to his armpits, the Freshwater Fisher-ies Society of B.C. (FFSBC) co-op student holds on as a truck, that drove in from a hatchery in Dun-can, pumps 500 rainbow trout through the tube, and into Glen Lake in Langford.
“The finishing pressure that this lake receives generally can’t be sustained by the natural repro-duction of the lake so we stock it with 1,000 catchable-size rainbow trout in the fall and 1,000 in the spring,” FFSBC assistant hatchery
manager Tristan Robbins said. “Those fish provide instantaneous fisheries for anglers in the area.”
This fall, Glen Lake will get 1,000 fish, Langford Lake 1,500, Thetis 2,000, Colwood 250 with many more going to Prior Lake, Pros-pect Lake, Elk Lake and more dis-persed throughout the West Shore and Southern Vancouver Island.
He said there are many reasons stocking the lake is important, one of them, to promote more outdoor activities for youth, including two-year-old Brandon Shaw who watched, pointing excitedly as the fish cascaded through the water.
“It (helps) provides more of a well-rounded lifestyle, a lot of kids these days tend to be stuck to more electronics and that kind of stuff, not getting out and about as maybe kids 50 years ago,” Rob-bins said. “So having these pro-grams in place and learn to fish programs encourages kids to get
out and enjoy the coun-try.”
Trout introduced into the lake are sterile, so they don’t interbreed with any wild fish and affect the natural gene pool in the lake, to main-tain the trouts natural silver colouration, which Robbins said anglers enjoy, and increases the size of the fish.
Unsterilized fish stop growing after three to four years and put their energy into reproduction for eggs and milk.
“I am an angler myself so it is very rewarding to put fish back into the lakes and just to see the publics reactions when you come to stock these lakes, it is really a feel good job,” he said.
“The kids are happy to see you, the parents are happy to see you, you get thumbs up going down the highway, so it is a reward-ing job.”
Brendan’s father Steven who came out with his fam-ily to the enjoy the fish being introduced to the lake said it
is a real treat to come out and see this happen, especially for his son.
“It is good to see people keeping the lake healthy and active and making it a nice place for local res-idents,” he said.
“Part of the reason we live out
here is it offers us lots of opportu-nities to be outdoors. (With Bran-don), that is the goal, to encour-age that sort of thing.”

Enjoy fireworks on Halloween? A Fireworks Safety Course is coming to
West Shore residents interested in partici-pating in the annual Halloween tradition.
“If you are going to be doing it, definitely take the fireworks safety course,” said Metchosin Fire chief Stephanie Dunlop. “And please be considerate of animals, they get terribly distraught of the sound of fire-works and every year we have stray dogs that get lost because they freak out.”
Completion of the free course is a require-ment for those wishing to obtain a permit for the possession or discharge of fire-works, not only on Halloween but all day every day in View Royal, Highlands, Col-wood and Langford.
Permit’s are available for purchase at par-
ticipating city halls and are valid for three years. Issuance of fireworks permits is con-tingent on current fire conditions.
The final course before Halloween is at Colwood City Hall on 3300 Wishart Road on Oct. 27 at 7 p.m.
Fireworks permits required in West Shore communities

Another bear sighting, this time in Langford areaSecure your garbage from unwanted looters
Another bear was spotted on the West Shore last week rummaging through neigh-
bourhoods in Langford.This time West Shore RCMP fielded
reports that a black bear was spotted searching through compost on Dawn Lane in Langford near Florence Lake.
The bear was last seen in the Florence
Lake Road mobile home park but conserva-tion officers were unable to locate it. They have no future plans to track the animal.
RCMP are reminding residents that bears are highly active this time of year while they bulk up before the winter months and are
reminding residents to keep trash securely stored. They are also warning residents not to apporach the animals.
But it seems this bear was just trying to get its paws on some tasty leftovers.

Royal Bay Ravens players Sarah Scott-Moncrieff (3) and Jessica Jones go all in trying to block the ball from crossing the net against the Belmont Bulldog’s Blue team at Belmont secondary school.Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff
Belmont crushes oppositionArnold LimNews Gazette staff
Volleyball was on the agenda at Langford’s new-est school.
The junior girls’ volley-ball team kicked off their first tournament ever at the brand new Belmont secondary school on Oct. 15 and 16. The team took top spot at home, cruis-ing to a 6-0 record over the course of the two-day tournament in the Island’s newest gymnasium.
“I was proud that all (players) contributed... (And) I loved the fact we were able to showcase the school and showcase the gym, when kids walked in their jaws dropped,” said junior coach Ken Lowe. “Every team that left said they wanted to come back next year.”
It wasn’t only the facili-ties that impressed, Bel-mont Blue cruised through 12 consecutive sets en route to their undefeated weekend, defeating Royal
Bay, Victoria High and Nanaimo District to claim top spot in pool play. The Blue side capped off their weekend with victories over Oak Bay in the quar-terfinals, Claremont in the semifinals, before defeat-ing Timberline in the final to sweep all sets, of all their games.
Olivia Godek was named MVP while Hannah May and Taylee Pomponio were named to the all-star teams. However Lowe said that it wasn’t just the play on the court he was most impressed with.
“I had countless coaches come to me and tell me how well our Bel-mont girls behaved and were officials when they weren’t playing,” he said. “To me that is more impor-tant to being a skill player, that they were good citi-zens throughout the tour-nament.”
Belmont White was happy to win their last game, getting a healthy does of experience and
taking 15th spot out of the 16 teams on home court before both squads hit the road this weekend for a tournament at Van-couver Island University in Nanaimo. Colwood’s Royal Bay school finished 12th in the tournament.
The senior girls volley-ball team, lead by head coach Mike Toakley, also impressed over the same weekend, taking victories over Pacific Christian, Archbishop Carney of Coquitlam and Nanaimo’s Woodlands in pool play at the Brentwood College Classic Tournament.
The home team proved to be too much for them in the semi-finals, where they fell before taking out Parksville’s Ballenas on Saturday for a second con-secutive time to secure the bronze medal on the strength of power hit-ters Kendra Hobenshield, Jess Thomsen, and setter Kirsten Barry’s strong per-formances.

Range of VisionIf you have normal vision, you should be able
to see objects clearly whether they are near or far away. When your eye doctor examines your eyes he will measure your vision at long distance as well as close up. The measurement for distance vision is usually taken at 20 feet. A test for near vision is usually taken at the normal reading dis-tance or about 16 inches.
Near vision is used for reading, sewing, eating and any other activity in which the object you are looking at is within arms length. Intermediate vi-sion includes computer screens, music on a stand, cards on a table etc. Distance vision is considered anything beyond that point. This would include looking at television or at people across the room, even though the distance is relatively short.
You need to see clearly wherever you happen to be looking. Straining your eyes to try to see ob-jects clearly can often cause headaches and other discomfort. If you think you may need glasses or contact lenses or a new lens correction, see your family optometrist for an examination.

New additions and scoring streak breaths new life into teamKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff
Last weekend was an event-ful one for the Victoria Grizzlies Junior A team.
The Grizzlies managed to come from behind on the weekend to break a rocky losing streak. The low-scoring B.C. Hockey League club put nine goals on the score-
board between the two weekend games. Before the weekend the team had been averaging less than two goals a game.
Friday night the Grizzlies out-shot visiting Powell River Kings 29-14 in the first 40 minutes of play but found themselves trailing 2-1 in the third. The Grizzlies man-aged to put three in the back of the net within roughly two minutes of each other to pull ahead. Two goals from Cole Pickup, with oth-ers from Chuck Bennis and Kevin Massy put the team ahead on the scoreboard with rookie Keyvan Mokhtari adding another goal to make it 5-2 at the final buzzer.
Sunday’s game went a little differently than hoped for by the Grizzlies. Short-handed
and trailing 2-1 as the last few sec-onds of the first period trickled down, Grizzlies’ Joseph Visconti
recorded his first goal of the sea-son to tie the game. Visconti was back at it in the second making
it 3-2 for the Grizzlies. The Capitals answered back, tying it up again. With the clock on the second period winding down Grizzlies forward Cole Pickup found the mesh giving the Griz-zlies a 4-3 lead.
But the Capitals hit the ice hard in the third scoring two unan-swered goals tipping the scoreboard 5-4 in their favour.
New additions to the team’s roster hit the ice this weekend. Former Prince George Spruce Kings’ forward Luc Soares joined the lineup, as Sage Fleming was released. Fleming chose to return to Cali-fornia rather than play Junior B.
Also joining the ros-ter on the weekend was Colby Livingstone. Livingstone, a six-foot, 190-pound forward played in the Maritime Hockey League last season.
Grizzlies are on the road this week, return-ing home on Thursday, Oct. 29, against the Powell River Kings and Friday, Oct. 30 against the Cowichan Capitals.

Out and about across the West Shore
GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE - Wednesday, October 21, 2015 www.goldstreamgazette.com • A25
From tricks and treats to the best of the best
Last week was packed full of events across the West Shore. From grand openings to mixers, members of the community had their sched-ules filled with exciting opportunities to connect with each other. Clockwise from left: Bob Saunders and Langford Mayor Stew Young share a smile at a private opening of West Shore’s newest McDonald’s restaurant. Green P arty representa-tives Fran Hunt-Jinnouchi, Frances Litman and Elizabeth May pose at a WestShore Chamber of Commerce
mixer outside Darcy’s Pub in Langford. Dave Saunders and Julie Lawlor exchange small talk over a Mc-Donald’s coffee. Josh Schmidt and Jennifer Harrison address the crowd at the Chamber mixer.
Halloween is just around the cor-ner and there are a few exciting events going on in the West Shore.
Metchosin Community Hall will be the scene of the annual Hallow-een dance on Oct. 24. This is the largest fundraiser for the Metcho-sin Foundation and tickets are available at the Metchosin Country Store and Broken Paddle Café. The night promises to be a fun one with live music, lots of dancing, raffle draws and silent auctions
The annual bike auction will take place on Sunday, Oct. 25, with view-ing starting at 9 a.m. and sales start-ing at 10 a.m. For more information call Brian Bell at 250-391-3427.
The WestShore Chamber of Commerce and the Goldstream Gazette will be hosting the Best of the Westshore at the Westin Bear Mountain on Oct. 29. Contact the Chamber to purchase tickets for this special event and find out all the award winners.
Westshore Town Centre and par-ticipating merchants welcome chil-dren under the age of 10 to trick or treat around the mall on Saturday, Oct. 31, from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. while supplies last. Also don’t for-get to stop by and vote for your favourite carved pumpkin.
Eagle Ridge Community Centre will be hosting their annual Hallow-
een event on Oct. 31, call 250-391-1738 for more information.
Langford Fire Rescue will be hav-ing their annual open houses at their three stations: 2625 Peatt Rd., 3205 Happy Valley Rd. and 2872 Sooke Lake Rd., from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. on Oct. 31. Bring the kids in costume for some tasty treats.
Orca Grill restaurant has opened its doors on Wale Road in Unit 122. There is plenty of parking in behind the new location and they are look-ing forward to serving great food and welcoming new clients to their West Shore location.
