Unanimous vote settles move for Coast CollectiveArts centre operators choose relocation in Colwood over gambling on Heatherbell site
The votes are in and Coast Collective is moving to a new home.
With construction set to begin around the arts cen-tre’s mansion home, Soci-ety for Arts on the South Island members voted unanimously Sunday to move from the idyllic Heatherbell Road location along Esquimalt Lagoon to the new Westridge Landing on Wale Road.
“I think what was gratifying was that it was unanimous, that is what really stood out for me,” executive director Cindy Moyer said. “I had hoped the vote would be positive, because the alternative of closing the Coast Collective would certainly be a disappointment.”
The Society, operating the centre out of the 1927-built Pendray House since 2008, collectively decided they needed to relocate to survive. Facing imminent construction on the 12-acre property, with 33 high-end waterfront condos in the works, members voted 23-0 in favour of the move. Developer Pacific Landing welcomed the arts centre to stay, but construction could last for several years.
The move takes the artist collec-tive into a new 3,000-square-foot facil-ity in the same building as the new Holiday Inn Express Suites Victoria – Colwood, which is slated to open Nov. 2 at 318 Wale Rd. The space will
be adjacent to the hotel lobby, near a street level restaurant next door, a dance studio and a fitness studio. Ample streetside and underground parking will accompany the space.
“We are looking forward to having a really animated centre where there’s lots going on,” Moyer said. “We’ve been very much in a bird sanctuary and that has been very therapeutic
and inspiring in many ways. But this will be a more urban experience and we’re looking forward to it.”
Leasehold improvements to the brand new purpose-built space will begin immediately with the construc-tion of a bathroom, office space, stor-age space and walls to separate the gift shop, the gallery and the work-space.
The owners of Westridge Landing will foot the multi-thousand dollar bill for the improvements. Company director and part owner, Lloyd Wans-brough, is excited to welcome the arts group to their new home Dec. 1.
“It’s (all) about people,” he said. “Cindy and all the executive of the Collective are just so passionate. They want to see good things for the community as well as bring culture to the West Shore.”

Meet the candidates in Esquimalt-Saanich-SookeRandall Garrison – NDP
Pamela RothVictoria News
First and foremost, Randall Garrison is running in the 2015 federal election to replace Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
The NDP MP for Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke said he has seen the damage the Harper government has done to things like democracy, veterans and Canada’s international reputation, which is why the NDP needs more seats in the House of Commons.
According to Garrison, the NDP has big policy initiatives that focus on addressing issues such as climate change, and affordability and availability of childcare spaces – something that’s a big challenge in B.C., no matter how much money people have.
Garrison, who served as the official opposition public safety critic, is leading the fight to protect privacy rights and civil liberties from Conservative surveillance legislation.
He was also the LGBT critic, and had a non-government bill securing equal rights for transgender Canadians passed in the House of Commons, but it
was later killed in the senate.“That guarantees equal rights for
transgender Canadians. I’m very much committed to bringing that back again,” said Garrison, adding he is consistently the opposition member with the most success in getting federal dollars for his riding.
Locally, Garrison is committed to creating a recovery action plan for killer whales and creating more ship-building jobs in the dock yards of Esquimalt.
“The Conservatives promised they would get busy on that program and we’ve yet to see much progress. Those are quality, long-term jobs in this community,” said Garrison, who lives in
Esquimalt with his partner Teddy Pardede.
Garrison has also fought projects such as the Northern Gateway pipeline, proposing responsible, sustainable alternatives instead.
Before entering parliament, Garrison was elected to Esquimalt municipal council and was a member of the Esquimalt municipal police board. Prior to that, he was a criminal justice and political science instructor at Camosun College for 20 years.
Frances Litman – Green PartyDan EbenalNews Staff
Taking on an incumbent MP can be daunting, but it’s not an unfamiliar role for Frances Litman, who has always seen herself in the role of underdog.
“When you talk about how has your life experience affected you, I suppose somewhere deep in my soul I saw myself as an underdog and related to those less privileged,” said Litman, 53.
An Island resident since age two, she grew up in Saanich and attended Reynolds secondary before moving to Esquimalt.
High school was a time of profound and life-altering change for Litman. She landed a job with the Times Colonist and by graduation was living on her own after losing her parents to health issues.
“It’s made me very … well, I’ve never had anyone to rely on. It makes you very determined to make a success of yourself because there’s no one really to give you a leg up. I’ve worked very hard because I guess there’s that underlying fear that I don’t want to be homeless.”
Litman went to both Camosun and UVic,
studying business administration and applied communications, then took a year-long photography course.
“That really piqued my interest and I started my own business,” said Litman, who ran her photo studio during the day and worked for the newspaper at night. Eventually, she gained the confidence to
leave the security of a regular paycheque behind and focused on her photography business. It was her connection with the underdog that spurred Litman’s involvement with environmental causes and eventually the Green Party. “My underdog became the environment when I discovered that less than three per cent of all charitable giving goes to environmental charities,” she saId.
About five years ago Litman began Creatively United For the Planet, an Earth Week festival dedicated to empowering individuals and communities to take better care of the Earth. The festival raised her profile among environmental organizations, and the Green Party came calling earlier this year asking her to become a candidate.
“I thought if I can make a difference that can finally affect policy and make the changes we need to move forward so we do have a world worth living in, then I’m willing to do that,” she said.

Ten years of providing supports for families on the West ShoreCentre on Wale Road celebrating a decade of successes
Arnold LimNews Gazette staff
In October of 2005 the West Shore Child, Youth and Family Centre was born.
Built with funds from the Chil-dren’s Health Foundation of Van-couver Island, the multi-use facil-ity in Colwood is home to key support programming for chil-dren and families living on the West Shore. Its partners include the Pacific Centre Family Ser-vices Association, the Ministry of Children and Family Develop-ment the Boys and Girls Club and others.
“Our goal (then) was to cre-ate a centre servicing kids all together,” said foundation CEO Linda Hughes, “so a family could come to one place to see differ-ent professionals, or have their needs met in a well-planned, wel-
coming place. I’ve heard it (has become) a real hub.”
The foundation was looking to invest in a growing child and fam-ily focused community, Hughes said, when it chose to invest $7.5 million in a 38,000-square-foot facility a decade ago. Funds were raised by community partners, individuals and businesses. They charge virtually no rent to tenants – Pacific Centre Family Services pays just a dollar a year.
“It has made a real difference to be able to offer quality service in a quality environment,” said the association’s executive direc-tor, Mitzi Dean. “It’s important to have consistency of space as well. They make it affordable for agencies whatever (their) size. They have increased our capac-ity, and the more resources we have to staff, the more we can offer to community.”
All the centre’s partners invite the public to join them Sept. 21 for a celebration of a decade of helping West Shore families. The organizations, which collec-tively employ 125 staff, will each contribute to the event. There will be a free barbecue lunch, face painting, a children’s dance group and other entertainment for the whole family.
“Really it’s a celebration … Hopefully families who have occasion to go there will join us (alongside) people who have donated. It is going to be a really fun family- and child-friendly event,” Hughes said. “I can’t believe it has been 10 years and it was time to reflect on that.”
The event runs from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at 345 Wale Rd. For more information, visit [email protected]

“We saw that as a real positive (with) similar interests to what Westridge is trying to do, so in that way it is a very good fit,” he added.
With a new artisan market coming to the facility on Wednesday and Sunday evenings, Wansbrough said the partnership could also be a fruitful one for Colwood, where he and his family have lived for more than 40 years.
“Here is an opportunity to contribute back to community. There is no other art centre in the West Shore, so I didn’t want to see them move out of the (area) or essentially die a slow death where they are,” he said. “It’s good for the community; it’s way better for Coast, because they will get so much more exposure just based on location. I think as a family we are interested in getting arts and culture into the Western Communities. Here is a way we can do that.”

Candidates from South Island ridings to square off over next few weeksDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff
The B.C. Sustainable Energy Association wants to hear what Greater Victoria federal election can-didates have to say about topics relating to cli-mate change and sustainability.
The organization’s Victoria chapter, which undertook a speak-ers series last fall entitled Energy and the Next Federal Elec-tion, begins a series of candidate debates this week under the theme Energy, Climate and Our Future.
Held in partnership with the Dogwood Ini-tiative, the debates get underway tonight
(Sept. 16) at Edward Milne Community School in Sooke and involves candidates for the Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke riding, which includes most of the West Shore except Langford.
“We had talks themed on various things, from behaviour change and transportation to carbon tax and building a viable economy,” said debates co-organizer Tom Hackney of the speakers series. “We all conceived this leading to a candidate’s debate. When we finished the planning, we figured we should spread the good news to all the ridings on the South Island.”
Among the pre-arranged topics to be discussed by Conservatives, Liberal, NDP and Green candi-dates are renewable energy, oil tankers and pipe-
line expansion, green jobs, greenhouse gas emis-sion reduction and impacts on future generations.
“We spent a lot of time crafting questions that we feel cover the area fairly well, and we’ll be rais-ing the questions neutrally,” Hackney said.
“Our thought is that these issues are just so important and their importance is becoming increasingly clear as we hear news of wildfires, and droughts and the progress that is being made in sustainable energy.”
Attendees will also be encouraged to ask their own questions during a Q&A section.
Subsequent debates will happen Sept. 24 at First Metropolitan United Church in Victoria (for the Victoria riding), Sept. 24 at Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Langford (Cowichan-Malahat-Langford), Sept. 29 at Esquimalt United Church (Esquimalt-Saanich-Sooke) and Oct. 2 at St. Paul’s United Church in Sidney (Saanich-Gulf Islands).
All of the debates are scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m. For people with children who might otherwise be unable to attend, child care will be provided on site. Registration for the service is required; visit bcsea.org/victoria to sign up or to find more debate information.

Vocal diva kicks off Jazz VespersCombination of jazz music and spiritual messages remains popular Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff
Jazz lovers mark your calen-dars, the opening performance of the Church of the Advent’s 11th annual Jazz Vespers Series is coming soon.
Leading off the popular musi-cal series this Sunday (Sept. 20) is award-winning jazz and blues singer Maureen Washington. The Victoria songstress, named best jazz and soul artist in the 2014 Black Canadian Awards, will be backed by fellow musi-cal notables Karel Roessingh on piano, Joey Smith on bass and Damian Graham on drums.
“She’s a great way to start off,” says the church’s pastor, Rev. Ken Gray, of Washington. “We don’t generally include vocal-ists, but I think it’ll be a singing, swinging time.”
Church of the Advent music director David Enns is respon-sible for charting the course for the popular series. He’s a musi-cian himself who has connec-tions around the jazz commu-nity and has, for some time now, routinely landed nationally and internationally known musicians to play at Jazz Vespers, Gray says.
The reverend notes that the Vespers services are the “only regular jazz gig on the West Shore.” He estimates that of the 80 to 150 people who usu-ally attend these monthly Sun-day night combinations of music and subtle biblical messages, three-quarters are not “church people.”
“We’re talking more about the
transitions and the themes of life,” he says. “Generally people feel engaged because we meet them where they are.”
Similar to how musicians improvise their performances, Gray says he often switches up his original plan for the accom-panying reading for Vespers. “I usually pick a scripture passage ahead of time, but nine times out of 10, I change whatever plan I
had because something strikes me. I improvise using words, they improvise using music.”
The Jazz Vespers services happen the third Sunday of the month at 7 p.m., except during December. Church of the Advent is at 510 Mount View Ave., off Sooke Road in Colwood. Admis-sion is a free will offering, as with any other church service.

The event was part of the Global Alumni Weekend, helping mark the 75th anniversary of Royal Roads as an educational facility.
Amalgamation rethink forum goes Thursday
An Esquimalt coun-cillor wants the pub-lic to better under-stand what amalgama-tion might look like in Greater Victoria.
“I believe the pub-lic hasn’t had fair and equitable access to opposing (views),” said Beth Burton-Krahn, one of the organizers of tomorrow’s (Sept. 17) forum, Rethink-ing Amalgamation, at Camosun College Lans-downe campus.
The issue of amal-gamating the region’s 13 municipalities in some form has been ongoing for years. In the 2014 election, Lang-ford and seven other municipalities had questions on the bal-lot about reducing the number of municipali-ties in Greater Victoria through amalgamation. Only Langford and Vic-toria asked citizens directly if they were interested in amalgam-ating, and the vote here passed narrowly.
The forum happens at 7 p.m. Thursday. Guest speakers include University of Victoria professor Robert Bish, and Metchosin resident Johnny Carline, former chief administrative officer of Metro Van-couver.

“I am tired of managing poverty.”The words of Lake Babine Nation
Chief Wilf Adam were quoted by both Aboriginal Relations Minister John Rustad and Premier Christy Clark at their second annual meeting with aboriginal leaders around the province.
In her closing remarks, Clark repeated her aim to continue economic development and resource revenue sharing that have dominated the government’s approach in recent years.
“Let’s eliminate poverty in First Nations communities,” she said, adding “the only way we can fight poverty is to grow the economy.”
Not surprisingly, Clark’s chosen example was the potential of liquefied natural gas development for the Haisla Nation near Kitimat.
That and similar proposals require new gas pipelines. And as is customary in B.C., what people most often hear about are threats and wild claims regarding protests such as the Unist’ot’en camp near Smithers, set up to block a gas pipeline.
There was a round of this in late August, after Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the militant Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs claimed hundreds of RCMP officers were about to descend on the camp.
This echoed previous false claims made by self-styled anarchists such as Victoria’s Zoe Blunt, who has been organizing outside support
for the camp for the last couple of years.
Media jumped at the prospect of another Gustafson Lake-style
confrontation. This prompted an unusual statement from Cpl. Janelle Shoihet of the North District RCMP.
“To clarify, the B.C. RCMP has no intention of ‘taking down the camp’ set up by the Unist’ot’en,” she said, emphasizing that police are not taking sides or acting as security for pipeline exploration crews being harassed by protesters,
who have token support from a couple of dissident members of a Wet’suwet’en clan.
Four elected chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en issued their own statement, to correct media coverage that represents the Unist’ot’en as speaking for their communities.
“Our Nations support responsible resource development as a way to bring First Nations out of poverty and bring opportunities for our young people,” said Burns Lake Band Chief Dan George.
Wet’suwet’en First Nation Chief Karen Ogen said job and benefit agreements for the Coastal GasLink pipeline were entered into after careful consideration, and she objected to protests from outsiders, some from outside the country.
“Sustainability means standing on our own two feet, providing our young people with good paying
jobs, and reducing the 40 to 60 per cent unemployment we now experience,” Ogen said.
Haisla Nation Chief Councillor Ellis Ross has no time for crude oil projects, but he has been working towards gas-related development as long as anyone.
Ross spoke out in support of the elected Wet’suwet’en chiefs in their efforts to resolve the dispute with Unist’ot’en members.
“Opposition is the easiest job in the world,” he said. “What is difficult is finding an answer when a First Nations mother has concerns about her child’s future.
“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”
Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.
You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.
More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Protests distract from real efforts
Are you prepared for a disaster?
If disaster struck tomorrow, would you be ready? If recent storms have taught us one thing, it is that residents are woefully unprepared for any sort of natural disaster.
Examples of 9-1-1 operators being inundated with phone calls from residents demanding to know when their power would be back on, and insisting someone pay for the contents lost in freezers, is exactly what not to do in the event of a storm. That phone line is only supposed to be used in the event of a real emergency or when someone’s life is in danger. Some soggy hamburger and the Internet being down, in our books, does not classify as an emergency.
While the West Shore seemed to miss the brunt of Mother’s Nature fury and didn’t see the record-breaking power outages the lower mainland had to contend with, next time we may not be so lucky.
People’s expectations for immediate service leave us shaking our heads. Quite frankly, it is an embarrassment when compared to other events going on around the world.
In the event of a natural disaster, or an Act of God as insurance companies like to call them, the government expects you to be on your own for a minimum of 72 hours. Yes, that is three days you are expected to be on your own and during that time you are expected to have clothing, food and water for every member of your household, including your furry companions.
In the event of a major earthquake, help will not be knocking on everyone’s door at that 72-hour mark. The limited services available through local municipalities and agencies will be overrun with demand. And if you think that big box store will supply you with fresh bread and eggs, think again. No one will be working in the rubble of those buildings.
So as winter approaches, bringing more powerful storms to an area that is already deemed to be at high risk for serious earthquakes, it’s a reminder for residents to become prepared.
Talk to your families, friends, and neighbours. Have a plan if disaster strikes, because you will be on your own.

“Politicians are quick to shout out sound bites and get into camera shots, but where are the cameras when another First Nations member takes their own life or when they pass away from highway/alcohol related deaths?”
Ross noted that recent court decisions have put B.C. aboriginal leaders in the best position they have ever had, with governments and development project proponents coming to them “with inclusion in mind” after decades of resource development that has passed them by.
You wouldn’t know it most days, but First Nations along both the Coastal GasLink and Pacific Trails gas pipelines have agreed to them.
More aboriginal leaders are getting tired of managing poverty, and misguided protesters.

Protests distract from real efforts
Are you prepared for a disaster?
If disaster struck tomorrow, would you be ready? If recent storms have taught us one thing, it is that residents are woefully unprepared for any sort of natural disaster.
Examples of 9-1-1 operators being inundated with phone calls from residents demanding to know when their power would be back on, and insisting someone pay for the contents lost in freezers, is exactly what not to do in the event of a storm. That phone line is only supposed to be used in the event of a real emergency or when someone’s life is in danger. Some soggy hamburger and the Internet being down, in our books, does not classify as an emergency.
While the West Shore seemed to miss the brunt of Mother’s Nature fury and didn’t see the record-breaking power outages the lower mainland had to contend with, next time we may not be so lucky.
People’s expectations for immediate service leave us shaking our heads. Quite frankly, it is an embarrassment when compared to other events going on around the world.
In the event of a natural disaster, or an Act of God as insurance companies like to call them, the government expects you to be on your own for a minimum of 72 hours. Yes, that is three days you are expected to be on your own and during that time you are expected to have clothing, food and water for every member of your household, including your furry companions.
In the event of a major earthquake, help will not be knocking on everyone’s door at that 72-hour mark. The limited services available through local municipalities and agencies will be overrun with demand. And if you think that big box store will supply you with fresh bread and eggs, think again. No one will be working in the rubble of those buildings.
So as winter approaches, bringing more powerful storms to an area that is already deemed to be at high risk for serious earthquakes, it’s a reminder for residents to become prepared.
Talk to your families, friends, and neighbours. Have a plan if disaster strikes, because you will be on your own.

Re: Urban society slides into helplessness (B.C. Views, Sept. 9)
Thanks for the article on the way society cannot handle any small upsets to the status quo.
I remember the big windstorm of 2006, which incidentally was in December. I was a 60-plus senior at the time, and my power was out in a residential area of Colwood for five and a half days, as our two-house power line was not a high priority in the queue. I watched the Hydro trucks go by day after day, waiting my turn for reconnection.
Fortunately I have a wood stove that can heat my house, boil water and cook food. It does get tiresome living by candlelight but I had my disaster radio nearby to listen to the local station give updates on how Hydro was doing. Most of my freezer contents were moved to friends’ homes, and my garden shed became my refrigerator.
Anyone with common sense can understand that the repair crews work tirelessly to restore power as quickly as possible, and perhaps the media could help by reminding people that they need to fend for themselves for several days if the major earthquake ever occurs. Calling 911 just clogs up the lines and can stop people from getting through with real emergencies.
Whatever will we do when the “big one” comes?
Margaret MercerColwood
Entitlement mentality pervasive in our culture
The rabid callers that Tom Fletcher describes are an example of ignorance combined with the entitlement mentality. The old joke about city dwellers thinking that chocolate milk comes from brown cows may have a ring of truth about it.
Are B.C. schools not teaching people that milk and eggs have to be produced and transported by someone, who should not be expected to work for nothing. Oh, right. That’s the school system that hasn’t stopped bullying despite decades of effort – the collectivist bureaucracies of the BC government and BCTF are not doing a proper job of education.
The entitlement mentality drives dangerously, cheats, robs, riots, rapes, and murders. Not new – Vancouver has a riot every decade or so – but seems to be increasing (or is it just there are more outlets for idiots, such as the twit service and media who are not smarter?).
And we are now in for weeks of politicians pandering to the mentality by promising what they can’t deliver – such as Liberal leader Justin Trudeau promising better roads,
despite those being primarily a provincial responsibility.

This year is most likely Metchosin School’s very last as a place of formal education. Although, considering the history of closing and then reopening of schools in our district, it might be wise to take a wait-and-watch attitude.
In 1913, a new school was built to accommodate the growing population of Metchosin. The one-room school built in 1872, which now houses the Museum, was moved back and a grand classroom built in its place. The new school sat high on concrete foundations with a basement and two flights of stairs to the cloakroom. Boys and girls were separated upon entering schools then, despite studying in the same classroom; playgrounds were often separated, too.
In 1922, city water was piped to the Quarantine Station at William Head and the Women’s Institute raised money to have water piped to a single spigot in the building, making the hand pump and well in front of the school obsolete.
Some years later, a wood-burning furnace was installed in the basement, replacing the stove in the classroom. The heat rose through a large grate in the floor at the back of the room. The early ’30s saw four electric lights with metal
shades installed from the ceiling.In 1949, an army hut was purchased
and installed on the same level, providing a second classroom and washrooms. Attendance remained at about 60 for some years then jumped to 80 in 1953. Plans were made to build a proper addition and the old school was moved for a second time, to the southeast corner. Although it was officially closed, it was often pressed into service until moved to its present location in 1959. The basement under the hut was used as a covered play area until it, too, was enclosed and
repurposed.Steady population growth has seen the
expansion of the grounds from the original one acre donated by John Witty in 1871 to 4.75 acres. Over the years many additions were made to keep pace with the growing community and expectations of what a school consists of, including a gym and library, ample office space and washrooms. In 1968 Hans Helgesen school was opened to accommodate junior students.
The 2000s have overseen the official closing of Metchosin School and yet in time-honoured fashion, it has been used by the School District
and enthusiastic students until this year. In keeping with its long history as a place of learning it has now become a focus for the artistic and cultural community, as a home to the Metchosin Arts and Cultural Association, which provides office, studio and gallery space.
In the Museum are binders of class photographs of East Sooke, Rocky Point, Albert Head, Hans Helgesen and Metchosin schools, covering the late 1800s to the 1980s. We will gladly make copies of the photos for a small fee.
The First Hundred Years: Metchosin Elementary School 1872-1972, by Marion Helgesen, is available for sale at the Museum and is the source I used for this brief history.

The old Metchosin school was constructed in 1913, around the same time as many of Greater Victoria’s oldest elementary schools.Courtesy Metchosin Museum Society

United Way campaign benefits local programsKendra WongBlack Press
Stacy made one of the best choices of her life by going to a transition home in Duncan last year.
It was there that a worker told her about Bridges for Women Soci-ety, a community agency offering employment training and support-ive programs for women impacted by violence or abuse.
“They helped me in so many ways,” said Stacy, who did not want to give her last name for
safety reasons. “They helped me with my own self-image and my own self-esteem and made me feel that I was actually worthwhile.”
The program helped Stacy put together a cover letter and resume and gave her the knowledge to keep a job once hired.
After six months in the program, Stacy graduated from Bridges for Women’s West Shore program in Langford and within a month she found full-time employment.
“I now have another family. Bridges for Women is like another family. I have a home. The support
is the big thing. There’s things that tend to happen in real life that baf-fle people,” she said. “As someone who has gone through stuff and needed counselling and training, there’s things that happen that set you back. It’s being able to come to some place and be welcomed and talk about it.”
Bridges for Women is one of more than 100 programs in the Capital Regional District that receives funding from United Way Greater Victoria.
“It helps us make sure that we can keep our doors open in
Victoria,” said Victoria Pruden, executive director of Bridges for Women. “We don’t turn anyone away, but as you know, there’s a cost to supporting people in need. It really helps us be the best com-munity resource that we can be.”
Today (Sept. 16), United Way Greater Victoria launches its annual community campaign, under its 2015 theme The Power of You. Its aim is to encourage resi-dents, workplaces and community leaders to become donors and participate with the organization.
CEO Patricia Jelinski said even
the smallest donations can make a difference.
“When you become part of this large collective, which is what makes United Way unique, you’re part of a movement of people that when we come together, have a huge impact in our community,” she said.
This year, the organization hopes to see 2,000 new donors and raise roughly $6 million. Last year, they helped 80,000 kids, youth, families and seniors in the local community.
Bridges for Women, with Langford and Victoria locations, among those agencies helped by donations

years, especially those on the West Shore.

If Harry Prior got a feather in his cap for every good deed, his cap would have overflowed long ago.
Sadly, the West Shore philanthro-pist’s days of goodwill came to an end Aug. 27, when he passed away at Selkirk Place at age 95, after spend-ing decades involved in community giving.
“Harry is a guy who proved that ongoing support is key for any orga-nization and his commitment shows his exception need in this commu-nity,” United Way Greater Victoria campaign chair Bruce Williams said. “He stuck with it; he never withdrew
from that because he knew the differ-ence he was making. We need more Harrys in the world.”
Williams had the “pleasure” of introducing Prior to the crowd at a number of United Way events, where he was always smiling and happy. Prior was one of the donors who helped push the 2014 United Way campaign to approximately $6 mil-lion, money that supports program-ming and services for approximately 80,000 people in Greater Victoria.
Prior had supported the United Way from the organization’s first years as the Red Feather Appeal and continued every year of his life until he died.

Longtime Langford resident Ellie Dmytriw rings in her 100th birthday with a cake and a party at the Langford Legion earlier this month.
Avid bridge player celebrates milestone
Visitors came from as far as Smith-ers and Edmonton this month to help a longtime Langford resident ring in her second century on the planet.
Eleanor Dmytriw, known affection-ately as “Ellie” to her friends, was celebrated on her 100th birthday on Sept. 6 with a gathering at the Royal Canadian Legion’s branch 91.
Roughly 50 people joined the Sun-day night party for the avid bridge player, who still heads out weekly to play the game she loves.
For years Dmytriw joined fellow aficianados for bridge games at the Royal Colwood Golf Club. It was only fitting that the Legion was decorated with playing cards during the party.
Ellie’s only child, retired Victoria police officer Don Milton of Sooke, was part of a special birthday chorus at the evening festivities. He’s part of the Greater Victoria Police Chorus, some members of which gathered to
sing Happy Birthday.Among those on hand for the cel-
ebration was Dmytriw’s longtime friend, Hector Brassard, who trav-elled all the way from Smithers to wish her well.
After moving to Langford from Edmonton 45 years ago, Ellie and her late husband lived on Florence Lake Road for many years.
More recently she moved in to the Alexander Mackie Lodge on Station Avenue, next door to the Legion.
Staff and fellow residents at the Mackie Lodge celebrated Dmytriw’s big day with a luncheon earlier in the day.
While she just has one son (and a daughter-in-law, Irene), Ellie is blessed with three grandchildren, Vern, Tara (Yves), Bruce (Dawn), six great-grandchildren and five great-great-grandchildren.
Eleanor Dmytriw feted on 100th at Legion
Wildfire victims helped by liquor store customers, staffDonations from customers and
staff of B.C. Liquor Stores on the West Shore, along with those from around the province, helped pro-vide residents forced from their homes by raging wildfires with some comfort in a time of need.
Donations received here and
at stores elsewhere in B.C. sup-ported Canadian Red Cross relief efforts for victims of the recent Rock Creek and Oliver wildfires in the south Okanagan to the tune of almost $102,000.
To help support residents of those communities who were
forced to start from nothing after their homes were destroyed by fire, customers made donations of $2 or $5 – or multiples thereof – at checkouts at 196 B.C. Liquor Stores throughout the province.
These donations, collected from Aug. 18 to Sept. 6, helped
the Red Cross provide assistance to victims of the fires to reunite family members, provide neces-sities such as blankets, food and water and assist victims with lon-ger-term needs such as replacing equipment to return to work and helping with rent.
B.C. Liquor Stores’ customers and staff have aided Red Cross disaster relief for humanitarian crises at home and abroad since 2003, when stores first collected donations to support victims affected by wildfires burning that summer in the province.

For example, the pupils of the eyes tend to become smaller, and the crystalline lenses inside the eyes become less clear. You may need more light to see and read comfortably.
The decrease in clarity of the crystalline lenses tends to scatter the light entering the eye. This can sometimes cause a fogging of vision or a decreased tolerance to bright headlight glare. As people age the eyes’ focusing ability decreases and it may become more dif� cult to change focus from distant to near objects and vice versa. These are just a few of the changes in your eyes that may be interfering with your ability to see well and comfortably.
If you are experiencing any of these changes in your eyes or if you have other vision problems you feel need attention, have your eyes examined by your Optometrist.

Reader Photo of the Week
On a summer stroll down Coburg Peninsula, Colwood resident and amateur lensman Derrick Ditchburn caught this otter, which had skillfully snagged a starry flounder near the bridge at the start of Esquimalt Lagoon.

City of ColwoodNotice of Revitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw Amendment
Notice of Intention to AdoptRevitalization Tax Exemption Bylaw (Hotels) Amendment #1, Bylaw No. 1596, 2015
The City of Colwood wishes to amend an existing revitalization tax exemption program that encourages the development of hotels, motels and lodges to improve upon the inventory of quality rooms available to the traveling public.
Council has the following objectives for the program which are established by the existing bylaw: • to encourage new hotel, motel and lodge investment in the City of Colwood; • to promote a higher standard of overnight accommodations and enrich the visitor’s experience while staying in the City of Colwood; and • to generally reinforce the City’s commitment to long-term development of the tourism industry in Colwood.
Owners will be eligible for tax exemptions if they have completed construction of a new hotel, motel or lodge within the City where the value of construction is $2,000,000 or greater.
The program is intended to accomplish these objectives by providing a tax exemption to eligible projects. This tax exemption will provide tax certainty to the property owner and reduce the municipal property tax burden on eligible hotel, motel and lodge projects for a period of up to 10 years.
The tax exemption will apply to that increased portion of municipal property tax imposed on the improvements as a result of the British Columbia Assessment Authority increasing the assessed value of the improvements on the land following construction. The amount of an annual tax exemption will be calculated by deducting the baseline assessment (value of improvements before commencement of the project) from the current assessed value of improvements and applying the difference to the current municipal tax rate. For example, the City estimates that the value of the tax exemption for the hotel project at Wale Road under this program would be approximately $100,000 per year for 2016 and the following two years.
The proposed changes to the program in the amendment bylaw are: • to clarify that if multiple building permits are issued in respect of a property that will have a new hotel, motel ,or lodge project, that the tax exemption will not include the value of improvements existing at the time of the tax exemption application or the value any improvements to be built before the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project; • to allow interior shops and conference rooms for the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project to form part of the improvements exempted for tax purposes; and • by requiring the revitalization tax exemption agreement for a successful project to be signed before issuance of an occupancy permit for the new hotel, motel ,or lodge project.
A Council meeting has been scheduled September 28th, 2015, at 7 p.m. to receive public comment.For more information about the Revitalization Tax Exemption Program and the amendment bylaw, please contact Andrea deBucy, Acting Director of Finance at [email protected] notice is given in accordance with section 227 of the Community Charter.

Shamrocks defender Jon
Harnett, left, dives to defend against
Peterborough Lakers forward Curtis Dickson during Game 6
of the Mann Cup championship
series at The Q Centre last Friday. Stifling defensive
play helped Victoria secure the
cup with a 12-6 victory.
Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff
Mann, oh Mann: ’Rocks regain CupRole players, stars gel well in Shamrocks’ lacrosse victoryDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff
With hundreds of fans still lingering around The Q Cen-tre, drinking in the jubilation of the Victoria Shamrocks’ ninth Mann Cup lacrosse win and first since 2005, Karsen Leung gave a shoutout to his team’s supporters.
“We fought so hard through the series; we’re exhausted; but just having these guys here getting loud it helps out so much,” he said after scor-ing twice in the Rocks’ series-clinching 12-6 win over the Peterborough Lakers in game six Friday. “We look forward to playing in front of these guys all the time. It’s a special feel-ing right now.”
Leung, one of a number of Shamrocks players who learned the game as kids in Greater Victoria, dedicated the win to the whole Victoria community. “Ever since we were in Mann Cup 2013 (in Colwood), everyone’s been pushing me, pushing our team to keep going, keep going. And this is it, we finally did it.”
The Lakers didn’t plan to go quietly: they trailed 4-0 after one and 5-1 in the second Fri-day but pulled within two, 6-4, by the end of that period. But the fired-up Shamrocks came out guns blazing in the third.
Jesse King scored his sev-enth and eighth goals of the series, 30 seconds in and at the 4:45 mark to make it 8-4. Captain Scott Ranger added to the lead 32 seconds later.
While the Lakers’ Turner Evans returned the favour less than a minute afterward to cut the gap to 9-5, Peterbor-ough never really recovered from the early onslaught and the Shamrocks’ defenders and transition players clamped
down further.“Our defence has really
been the core of our team, I think, throughout the whole year, King said after receiv-ing a huge hug from his dad, Lorne. “Seeing them battle is just amazing and I like to return the favour once in a while. I think they enjoy that
as well so I just try to feed off them.”
Fellow attacker Dan Daw-son, who earned his sixth Mann Cup title and piled up a Cup record-tying eight assists on the night quarterbacking the offence, said the Sham-rocks responded well to the Lakers’ mid-game threat.
“They were answering -- they got within three goals, and then got it within two, it was a scary thing,” he said. “So our transition, our defence won us that Mann Cup, no doubt.”
Dawson, who heads to New York this week to captain Team Canada at the World Indoor Lacrosse Champion-ships, had a huge smile on his face as he cradled four-month-old son, Theo, and watched his teammates share Cup time with each other and their fam-ilies.
“It’s a young group we’ve got. (I’m) reflecting; when they grab the Cup over their heads, that’s what it’s all about. See-ing the joy and the excitement in the guys raising the Cup for the first time, it never gets old.”
While the Rocks appeared to have more energy than the Lakers down the stretch Friday, Peterborough head coach Mike Hasen didn’t make excuses for his team.
“Our guys were ready for this tonight … That’s what the Mann Cup is, it’s a grind and both teams have to go through it,” he said. “(The Shamrocks) came out with a purpose and a pop in their step and we did our best to match it, and at the end of the day we came a little bit short.”
Corey Small scored a game-high three goals, added an assist and was awarded the Mike Kelly Memorial Trophy for his efforts as Mann Cup most valuable player. He led all players with 25 points (10 goals, 15 assists) in six games.
Also scoring for the winners were Daryl Veltman and Rhys Duch, and defenders Brad-ley Kri and Tyler Hass. Other goal scorers for Peterborough were Curtis Dickson, Brad Self, Mark Farthing, Scott Evans and Chad Tutton.
Victoria outshot the Lakers 45-37, with the Rocks’ Aaron Bold and Peterborough’s Matt Vinc going the [email protected]
The building of a championThe management and coaching staff of the Victoria
Shamrocks set themselves a goal last fall after losing a second straight Mann Cup final.
They looked at what past Cup winners had in common, what their team already had going for it and what it was missing, with the idea of building a roster that could not just compete for the Cup, but go all the way.
They accomplished that in spades this season, winning the Western Lacrosse Association regular season and playoff crowns and downing the Peterborough Lakers 4-2 in this year’s Mann Cup. Along the way they went 12-2 in the post-season, outscoring their opponents 151-96.
“We brought guys in who could help show us the way, Dan Dawson, Rory Smith, Matt Roik; those are guys that have been there and they can show us the intricate parts of what it takes,” head coach Bob Heyes said Friday after his players captured the club’s ninth Cup.
“You bring in guys who are hungry: a Steve Priolo, a Daryl Veltman; guys who played their whole careers prob-ably never ever thought they’d get a chance to be here and they’ve done it. Then you take a Jesse King, who was a star two years ago for two games in the Mann Cup, and then couldn’t play last year for us. This year he made the sacrifice and the commitment to come and play here for the whole year. He had offers to do other things, but he wanted to win a Mann Cup.
“All these guys committed; sacrificed the time to be here … It takes a lot to put this team together, but I think there’s going to be a focus to be a repeat and to do it, but it’s a long road to go, a long road.”

The defence held off a late charge by the Valley Huskers and the Westshore Rebels hung on for their second B.C. Football Conference win of the season Satur-day, 27-22 in Chilliwack.
The Rebels (2-5), whose only other win came against the Husk-ers, got a 139-yard rush-ing effort from Jordan Worth in the victory.
The second-year run-ning back got the game off to an auspicious
start when he rumbled 58 yards on the open-ing play from scrim-mage. He later bulled his way into the end zone from seven yards out to give the visitors their first points of the game.
Quarterback Aston Mackinnon went over from eight yards out to make it 13-0 Rebels in the second quarter.
Westshore led 17-7 at halftime, following a Bryce Couture field
goal and added to the lead in the third quar-ter when Noah Rogers caught a Talyn Davies pass and raced 14 yards for a TD.
The Huskers found the end zone later in the quarter to make it 24-14, but were stifled by the Rebels defence in the final period. The locals scored their final TD on the last play of the game to make the score closer.
Couture was a factor in the game, booting field goals from 34 and 32 yards and kicking three converts.
Davies, who shared QB duties with Mack-innon, hit on 13 of 19 passing attempts for 129 yards. Hunter Lake, with 83 reception yards, and Joe Bark-house, with 65, topped the receivers list for the Rebels.
Blake Draper was player of the game for the Huskers, picking up two touchdown and 160 yards receiving.
The Rebels are on the road again this Sat-urday (Sept. 19, 2 p.m. kickoff) for a game against the Vancouver Island Raiders.
The club invites fans to support the Rebels by attending a tailgate party in the parking lot at Caledonia Park in Nanaimo from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Log on to westshorerebels.com for more details.

It’s not uncommon for junior B hockey players to end up as firefighters. There’s certainly at least a few around Greater Victoria.
It’s less common, however, that such players make the National Hockey League. But it happens. Rare, if ever, does an NHL player jump in to fight a full-on wildfire.
It’s been that kind of summer for Adam Crack-nell. The former Saanich Brave and Belmont sec-ondary student has one of the most curious cases leading to the start of hockey season.
Last month the 30-year-old signed a one-year contract to play for the Vancouver Canucks. And on Aug. 31 he found himself throwing dirt on the flames of a wildfire in Moyie, a Kootenay town near Cranbrook.
“It was pretty intense; the flames were eight to 10 feet tall and it was really windy, about 40 kilo-metres per hour,” Cracknell said.
Untrained as a firefighter, it was his first experi-ence. The whole event lasted only about an hour, but it was one Cracknell won’t forget. He was in the area to skate with his WHL alma mater, the Koote-nay Ice, where he played from 2002 to 2006.
He was watching the flames with a neighbour when the fire became increasingly threatening.
“My neighbour and I looked at each other and you could see the flames, and just knowing how dry it is and what’s going on around here, we fig-ured let’s grab some shovels and go help it out and try to contain it.”
The two threw dirt into the flames and other strategic areas, following the instruction of a retired fireman, until a helicopter showed up to tackle it from the air.
“We were in good hands. Guys were spotting us and making sure we were okay, watching out for other flames,” Cracknell said. “Looking back on it, it was dangerous, but we had a lot of help. Anything to help out around here – it could have been worse.”
Cracknell was in Greater Victoria for 12 days earlier this summer for his annual pilgrimage (as many NHL players do) to train with Jeff Comp-ton. Cracknell has been working with the highly regarded Victoria Royals strength and condition-ing coach since graduating from Belmont second-ary in 2003.
Lately Cracknell has been acquainting himself with his new team during informal skates. Players don’t officially report to the Canucks until Sept. 17.
It’s another leg in the long journey for the kid from Prince Albert, Sask., who moved to Langford and played with Juan de Fuca minor hockey before joining the Braves, later joining the WHL’s Ice part-way through the 2001-02 season.
“My days with the Braves were a great time and helped (make that) step before the WHL,” Crack-nell said. “I still have friends from that team.”
He was drafted in 2004 by the Calgary Flames and in the 2012-13 and 2013-14 seasons played a regular role as an energy player with the St. Louis Blues. He was so impactful against the Los Angeles Kings during the first round of the 2014 playoffs that the Kings signed him shortly after they won the 2014 Stanley Cup.
But the Kings waived him before he played a single game. After spending the better parts of two seasons with the Blues, he played 17 games with the Columbus Blue Jackets, only to be traded back to the Blues where he finished the season playing 22 games for their AHL affiliate, the Chi-cago Wolves.
If the Canucks are looking for a disciplined, size-able energy player they’ve found one in Cracknell. For a hard-working, hard-hitting fourth liner, he’s managed to draw just 14 minutes in penalties in 82 regular season games and one minor in 10 playoff games. “It’s an exciting time, an opportunity to play a (type of) game that I like to play. I feel like I have a good chance and opportunity, I have to try to stand out from the rest of the guys.”
Coming into a new team and competing for one of only a couple spots is always hard, but there’s
a reason they sign you and you have to remember that, Cracknell said. “It’s always competitive when you get there, but I shouldn’t have any nerves. It’s great to be back in B.C.”

Did you know?n Adam Cracknell’s NHL playoff experience reaches far beyond the 10 games on his stat sheet. In 2013, he was part of the Blues’ hard-hitting first round series against the Chicago Blackhawks.n In 2014, it was another highly physical first round exit to the Kings. In both cases, the opponent went on to win the Stanley Cup. n Cracknell played for longtime Saanich Braves coaches Dick Crowder and Bob Clark.

The first of five straight road games didn’t go quite as planned.
Sharing a home with the Mann Cup-hosting Victoria Shamrocks and the Kraft Hock-eyville exhibition game between the Vancouver Canucks and San Jose Sharks have pushed the Victoria Grizzlies onto the road for the entire month of Septem-ber.
Despite this and a season opening loss to the Cowichan Capitals 3-2, team general man-ager Jim Swanson said there is reason for hope.
“I thought it was a great rivalry game to start for both teams,” he said. “I think the edge in that game could have easily gone the other way. We
know they have a tough team and we have a tough team and it’s going to be a great thing to watch us come together.”
West Shore resident Cole Pickup opened the scoring in the season opener at the Island Savings Centre in Duncan with a power play marker 2:02 min-utes in. However, Cowichan, which boasts 15 returning play-ers in the lineup, volleyed back with two straight from Matthew Hude and Ayden MacDonald to pull ahead.
A second Pickup goal to square it up was not enough as Kade Kehoe’s short-handed tally late into the third sealed the Grizzlies’ fate.
Despite the loss, Swanson said he liked the team’s resolve for a team with 15 new faces.
“(It’s great) to be able to get some team bonding in on a
road trip early,” he said. “If we get out of this at break even, we know we will be in good shape when we get (home). Having an imbalanced schedule off the top is a blessing in disguise.”
The Grizzlies next game is Sept. 18 in Nanaimo, before heading to Alberni Valley, and then Chilliwack. Their first home game at The Q Centre is Oct. 1.
“We are excited to see the community embrace this team the way they have, it has been a fun buzz… Oct. 1 is a date for us to introduce so many things we will try and bring a new entertainment level and new excitement to The Q Centre,” Swanson said. “We are really looking forward to the Grizzlies being a rallying point, especially in the West Shore.” [email protected]
On the road again, and again and again
