Royal Bay plandecision likelyto come soonMulti-neighbourhood development in Colwood the centrepiece of revamped plan

Don DescoteauNews staff

Residents around the proposed Royal Bay project in Colwood worry that “unneighbourly” site preparation may be an indication of the devel-oper’s commitment to future work on the project.

Changes to the City of Colwood’s 1996 Royal Bay area plan – which would amend the city’s official com-munity plan – passed third reading last week following a short public hearing. The final vote on the changes could come as early as the June 23 council meeting.

Councillors heard a variety of com-plaints before voting 5-1 to move the proposal forward. Among them, residents said ground-shaking work on the former gravel pit had caused cracks in foundations and retain-ing walls, crews had ignored noise bylaws and clouds of dust had drifted unabated through neighbourhoods.

In fact, residents lodged two more complaints with the city last weekend related to equipment noise and dust.

Mayor Carol Hamilton, who didn’t answer questions at the public hear-ing, as third reading calls for no coun-cil discussion, said later she under-stands what residents are going through.

“I think they’re feeling a little left out of the loop,” she said. “For the

long-term residents, they’ve been putting up with issues around that area for a long time, not necessar-ily what this development is creating, but the years of the gravel pits and the trucks and the dirt and the noise.”

After the gravel pit was closed by Lehigh in 2007, there was a break from activity on the site for more than five years. With massive amounts of earth moving done in the past year and the new Royal Bay secondary under con-struction on the property, the site has been as busy as the gravel pit days.

Paul Fenske, a principal with design and urban planning firm Ekistics, is working with the city on behalf of developer B.C. Investment Man-agement Corporation. He told the Gazette in an interview that bcIMC chose to go full speed ahead on the necessary site upgrades to avoid sub-jecting nearby residents to a much longer dusty, noisy process.

“The site was left in an unfinished and unstable state,” he said, attempt-ing to explain the condition of the property bought by bcIMC in 2012.

The company spent an estimated $25 million on earth-moving, regrad-ing, managing erosion and stormwa-ter runoff in 2013, Fenske said, with the idea of completing much of that work sooner than later.

A courageous young man is rememberedZack Downey celebration of life set for Thursday


In the difficult few weeks since the passing of their son, Zack, at the tender age of 18, Tania and Wayne Downey have been floored by the out-pouring of support from peo-ple around their various com-munities.

“I didn’t really realize the impact Zack and our journey had on people until he passed away,” Tania said. “We’re just blown away, to be quite hon-est.”

Langford resident Zack died May 25 after a long battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a form of cancer that affects the lymphatic system.

A celebration of life will be held tomorrow (June 19) at The Q Centre from 1 to 4 p.m. The site was an easy choice, not only for the expectation of 1,000 or more mourners, but because West Shore Parks and Recreation was the hub of Zack’s sports life growing up, Tania said.

“He played basketball and lacrosse there, rode his bike on the BMX track, played on the soccer field, played ice hockey in the rink.”

While he remained a huge basketball fan to the end, baseball was his passion. He was a member of the Victo-ria Mariners midget team and attended the baseball academy at Lambrick Park secondary. By the time he was diagnosed in Grade 11, in November 2012, he had already begun eyeing poten-tial colleges to apply for base-ball scholarships.

The news, and the resulting

treatment – it lasted 16 months – set him back somewhat, Tania said, but his determination really kept him going.

His simple goal, after being told in March that his cancer was incur-able, was to make it to his high school gradu-ation ceremony. He missed it by about a week.

“Right up to the last, he was optimistic that he’d get there,” his mom said. While Zack was weakened from treat-ments, she said, “all he wanted was to go to school, be with his friends and sit in a class, those simple things that people take for granted. He wanted that so bad during treatment.”

The Downeys, who have a 14-year-old daughter, Brooklyn,

have received an overwhelm-ing amount of well-wishes and condolences around the school, baseball and general communities. But that hasn’t told them anything they didn’t already know about their son.

“We always knew how great a kid Zack was,” Tania said. “He went through this amaz-ing battle very stoically. We are so proud of him as a fam-ily and we do hope that he’s made a little bit of a difference

in everybody’s life he touched. He’s a pretty amazing kid and will be missed greatly.”

While their grief is still very much at the surface, she said, the Downeys hope that at some point they’re able to help other families going through similar situations.

“Our community was there for us and we’re so grateful for that.”[email protected]

Send us yourZack stories

Popular 18-year-old Langford resident Zack Downey was a talented baseball player who rel-ished the opportunity to play any sport. He was also a great guy and a good friend, say those who knew him best.

We’d love for you to share some special thoughts on how Zack affected your life.

Dementia diagnosis need not be paralyzingDon DescoteauNews staff

Once a week, Gisele DeVito climbs into a van and heads over to the Westshore adult daycare program at The Priory care facility in Colwood.

Her active participation in the program once prompted a Priory staffer to mistake her for a volunteer.

The truth is, DeVito, 58, was diagnosed about two years ago with early onset Alzheimer disease and attends the program to keep her body and mind active.

“I could go more, but I like my time,” she says. “I like walking.”

The Colwood resident frequently makes the trip between her home on Wishart Road to Esquimalt Lagoon and back.

DeVito, with the help of husband, Buddy, and her neuropsychiatrist Dr. Mohamed Gheis, is among those who are being proactive with their health after receiving a dementia-related diagnosis.

Lori McLeod, executive director of the Greater Victoria Eldercare Foundation, which helps fund the centre, says in years past the options were more limited for such patients.

“Before, you’d put them in the hospital and that was that,” she says. “Now people want to stay at home as long as possible and (this program) is a way to help do that.”

Buddy DeVito has personal experience with the former scenario. “Seven years ago my mother died of Alzheimer’s disease, and she had been in the hospital for seven years,” he says.

He and Gisele feel blessed that her situation has not paralleled that of his mother and other dementia patients who have suffered through the stages of the degenerative disease.

The adult daycare centre is just one of many resources the Eldercare Foundation steers people toward

as a way of enhancing the quality of life of older adults or those needing health monitoring.

Many families aren’t quite sure where to begin searching for such help, McLeod says. “Our dream is

that people, as they’re aging, start looking for resources in the community – they learn what’s out there and get connected. Online resources can be overwhelming. We want to make it easy.”

For information

about the adult daycare centre, call the foundation at 250-370-5664. For other resources visit gvef.org or call Island Health’s general inquiry line at 250-388-2273.

Swing the clubs, swing your partner

Buddy DeVito is pulling out all the stops to raise money for the Greater Victoria Eldercare Founda-tion-funded Westshore adult day-care centre.

To do it, he’s come up with the Buddy DeVito 9 Holes, Dinner and Dance, a fun tournament set for Friday, July 11 at Olympic View where singles and couples can play a relaxing round of golf, enjoy din-ner then dance the night away.

The full meal deal: nine holes of golf, a power cart, buffet dinner, prizes, a silent auction and danc-ing to the Tom Morrisey Band, is $95 per person. For the dinner and dancing only, it’s $49 per person.

“It was a real coup to get the likes of Bob Saunders on board – he’s putting up a car as a hole-in-one prize – and Tom Morrisey and his band,” DeVito said.

The shotgun start is at 4 p.m. To sign up, call 250-370-5664, visit gvef.org or call Ken Langdon at the pro shop, 250-474-3673 ext 231.

EDITORIALOUR VIEW

“Liberal” is becoming one of the most ill-defined words in Canadian politics.

Here in B.C., a Liberal is a Conservative, or at least a fiscal conservative, bent on balancing budgets and battling big unions to force them to recognize today’s world of low growth and low inflation.

In Ottawa, a Liberal is currently whatever Justin Trudeau wakes up and decides. One day he’s a libertarian who wants to legalize marijuana, and the next he’s in touch with his inner Taliban, issuing a moral edict on abortion.

In Ontario, Premier Kathleen Wynne saved her gut-shot Liberal government by limping to the left of the NDP, promising to spend lots more borrowed money and build lots of transit.

This is in a have-not province with an operating deficit that is currently running north of $12 billion. For comparison purposes, B.C.’s deficit swelled briefly beyond $3 billion in the wake of the Great Recession of 2009, and the books stayed in the red until last year as the B.C. Liberals unwound the Harmonized Sales Tax and repaid a $1.6 billion HST transfer allowance to Ottawa.

You think B.C.’s energy policy is a disaster? Check out Ontario, where the cops are still investigating the

$1 billion cancellation of plans to construct two natural gas-fired power plants before the 2011

election. The gas plants were to stabilize erratic output from wind and solar power, a European-style climate change gesture that involved Ontario ratepayers giving a huge subsidy to Korean tech giant Samsung.

The Ontario Liberals clung to power in part by promising a provincial pension scheme on the same scale as the Canada Pension Plan.

B.C. has a similar pension program in the works, to be offered to the two thirds of small business and self-employed people who don’t have a group plan with their employer. Ours would, of course, be voluntary.

Not so in Ontario, where large and small businesses will be required to cough up half of the required pension payments.

The Ontario model is dumb on several levels. It is to be imposed just as the baby boom retirement wave breaks across Canada’s most populous province, increasing risk that the pension pool may run dry. And it sticks small business with a new payroll tax in a province that has lost much of its traditional manufacturing base and needs to innovate.

Here’s the funny part, if you don’t

live in Ontario. Wynne tabled her spending-spree, deficit-be-damned budget in an effort to convince the NDP to keep propping up the Liberal minority government and avoid an election.

Instead, she won a majority and now has to implement her pie-in-the-sky promises. Ontario is bracing for a downgrade in its credit rating based on the election result, and is about to go into province-wide bargaining with public service unions who want their share from the Liberal money tree.

Ontario Progressive Conservative leader Tim Hudak ran on a plan that sounded similar to the one presented by Christy Clark in 2013: hold the line on spending, balance the budget, reduce the size of government, stimulate job creation. Hudak was rejected for a second time, and resigned the leadership on election night.

B.C. voters now have three years to see how the Ontario version of Liberal government plays out, compared to the B.C. Liberal version.

For us, much depends on resource development, including forest products, natural gas and other trade with Asia.

If all goes well here, B.C. can continue to send transfer payments to the fantasyland of Ontario.

Ontario election lessons for B.C.

Royal Bay a giftfor all concerned

The saga of the Royal Bay lands in Colwood has a lengthy history.

The municipality began looking to create an all-encompassing plan for the future of the 600-acre site long before gravel pit operator Lehigh filled up the last barge and sent it on its way back in 2007.

The original Royal Bay area plan, part of Colwood’s official community plan, dates to 1996. Back then, area politicians and staff decided they had to start thinking ahead and prepare for the day, month, year when the pit would come to the end of its useful life for that purpose. The plan was, in essence, a mine reclamation project.

Times have changed a lot in the years since, with perhaps the biggest difference being the West Shore’s strategic position in the housing continuum of Greater Victoria.

People’s values have changed and what they come to expect has as well, which is why this plan needs a total revamp.

While the existing environmental and natural characteristics of the area must be taken into account and preserved, the Royal Bay lands represent a virtual blank slate on which can be created a model neighbourhood that is the envy of urban planners and designers, not to mention prospective residents, around the Pacific Northwest.

In the end, a redevelopment project such as this comes down to vision, shared by more than just our elected representatives.

The colourful drawings made available by the city offer a sense of the possible for this dazzling piece of real estate, and show that bright minds have been thinking long and hard about the potential for Royal Bay.

This is an area that makes up more than 10 per cent of the land mass of Colwood. It’s therefore crucially important that the city and those who would develop the land use this gift wisely and create something special that will stand the test of time.

The realities of the real estate market will dictate the speed of development, but we don’t want to be here in another 20 years still wondering what might become of the site.

Both sides in labour dispute have been painted unfairly

Teachers. I love them. Espe-cially my daughter, so you know the direction from whence I write.

And I am sure all of us can relive fond memories of “the best years of our lives.” So how can we not feel empathy for these dedicated champions of wisdom that we trust our chil-dren with?

It is through this admiration, however, that I have become worried that the fomenting of hostility between the govern-ment and teachers will mar our responsibilities as proud citi-zens of B.C.

I know that we seldom think of public servants as being as noble a profession as teachers, but perhaps it is an unfair conjec-ture. And now we have branded them as antagonists. Whether they are labeled as Liberal or NDP or BCTF, or have personal

names such as Christy or Peter or Jim, every one of us should respect them for their diligence and persistence.

Difficult tasks were foisted on them by a due process through which we have chosen to gov-ern ourselves. They have heavy burdens to carry and are being judged daily by ill-informed arm-chair critics and baited with innuendo-riddled questions from the media.

I honestly believe that these adversaries do not have per-sonal agendas. They are doing their jobs. They are trying to complete a business transac-tion. Too many harsh words are being spoken.

Please be understanding and considerate.

Kindness is not just for dogs and little children.

Thetis Lake bus serviceto be added

B.C. Transit is exercising the concept of give and take for its summer bus schedule.

As of Monday (June 23), routes that service the University of Vic-toria, Camosun College and Royal Roads University will see slightly reduced schedules.

The seasonal adjustment is made to conserve transit hours

during the less popular sum-mer months to be able to maxi-mize service hours during peak ridership when post-secondary schools are in session.

On the other hand, a new ser-vice to Thetis Lake is being intro-duced as part of the No. 53 Atkins Road bus route. The side trip, a suggestion from transit riders

who responded to a public con-sultation last fall, will run until Sept. 1.

For the summer season, service is also being increased on Routes 75 and 81 to accommodate extra passengers heading to Sidney, Brentwood Bay and Swartz Bay.

Also affecting the West Shore is a discontinuation of the No. 49

Langford Exchange bus due to low ridership. Service on that run has been picked up on other routes.

For more details on these and other service adjustments, pick up a Rider’s Guide on board any bus, visit bctransit.com/regions/vic or call the BusLine at 250-382-6161.

West Coast flavour for tennis event32nd annual Gllangcolme mixed doubles begins this week


It’s been nearly 20 years since the West Shore celebrated Gllangcolme Days.

The Langford Tennis Club has maintained the tradition, in name at least, by continuing to host the Gllangcolme Tennis Fes-tival mixed doubles event.

The 32nd annual tournament had a full draw of 32 teams last year and an equal number are expected to be signed up as plays gets underway tomorrow (June 19) on the courts at Royal Roads University.

Sue Grandmaison, club vice-president and former tourna-ment co-ordinator, said the

event draws from around the region and beyond.

“We’ve got a couple of peo-ple coming from Alberta, from Peachland, all over Victoria and up Island as well,” she said.

One of several tournaments the club hosts between spring and fall, the Gllangcolme event – perhaps more than any other it hosts – is part tennis, part social function, Grandmaison said.

There’s a West Coast-themed dinner/dance on Saturday that includes a silent auction fund-raiser for the club’s junior pro-gram and Westshore Food Bank.

“People stay and have fun and we give them free breakfast in the morning (Saturday and Sunday). It keeps everybody

together. It’s competitive, but social as well.”

On the tennis side, the triple-knockout tournament has an A, B and C flight, with every team starting in the A division. The top seeds going in are Peter and Damaris Brix of Saanich, while the host club’s Tracy and Carmine Antonacci, as well as Grandmaison and playing part-ner Serge Joseph of Vancouver, are also expected to compete for the title.

Matches begin at 5 p.m. Thurs-day and Friday, 8:30 a.m. Satur-day and 9 a.m. Sunday, with the ‘A’ final slated for 2:30 p.m. that day. For more information, visit [email protected]

Carmine and Tracy Antonacci are tournament

co-ordinators for this weekend’s

Gllangcolme Tennis Festival

at the Langford Tennis Club. They’re also

among the pairs expected to

compete for the ‘A’ flight title.

Brad ForrestWhether it’s buying/selling homes or any other business activity - Integrity is the Essence of Everything Successful! This is my motto - not just in business, but in life. My goal is to be committed to caring about the ‘person’ before the ‘client’, striving to go beyond what is expected of me. Real estate can sometimes be problematic, but a good agent sticks with his client through these challenging times.I am lucky to have lived on the Westshore for the past 20 years. Witnessing its transition into a vibrant community with a great mix of recreational amenities and business development has proven to be a wonderful and safe place to raise my children. My five years of real estate sales has given me the opportu-nity to promote the Westshore to young, growing families. I am proud to say, many are still friends today. I look forward to making many more!

The Langford Lightning Bantam C girls used a big inning in the South Island district softball championship final Sunday to beat Salt Spring Island 6-4 at Centennial Park in Central Saanich.

The small-island team led 3-2 after two innings and 4-2 after four before the Lightning rallied for four runs in the fifth.

Both finalists qualified for the under-16C provin-cial tournament, set for July 4 to 6 in Port Alberni. Lightning head coach Mike Dixon said his girls showed character with the victory and should be very competitive at the B.C.s.

“I would definitely say that the best hitting team is the one that dominates there,” he said. “You’ve got to go out and hit the ball solid.”

While the Lightning featured what Dixon char-acterized as the best defence in the league, they came through with the bats when it mattered on the weekend.

They opened with a 5-2 win Saturday over the Brett Barwis-coached Lightning squad, won 13-2 over Oak Bay-Carnarvon and downed Salt Spring 11-9 in the winner’s bracket final.

Dixon’s team has one league game left, against Peninsula. A win there will tie them with Central Saanich for top spot in the regular season.

District playdowns in other age and skill levels also happened last weekend and are ongoing lead-ing up to the various provincial tournaments.

View Royal hosts the lone provincial tourna-ment in the region, the U14A girls championship, July 4 to 6 at Centennial Park on Helmcken Road.

Langford and View Royal also host the U12C regional tournaments this weekend.

Visitors to the West Shore’s regional parks will be seeing a little more black and blue through the summer.

The Capital Regional District and West Shore RCMP are again co-operating on a joint program to increase enforcement at Thetis Lake, Matheson Lake and Witty’s Lagoon. The goal for the increased presence is to curb bylaw violations and alcohol use in regional parks, especially at the popular beaches during peak times of year.

“We are working towards promoting the positive use of the parks, deterring alcohol and drug use in the parks, making sure people are being safe around water and abiding by the rules of the park,” said West Shore RCMP Cpl. Kathy Rochlitz. “(It is) to ensure everyone has an enjoyable experience and it’s a positive environment to be in.”

This year marks the fourth summer for the partnership, which sees the RCMP and CRD share information and run additional mountain bike, foot and boat patrols. Rochlitz said it’s a way to engage the public, inform with education and enforce when needed. She added that

An example of the program making a positive contribution came when officers on patrol found a man in a park who had suffered a broken leg and helped him to safety.

“It is a good way to work together for a common goal and an opportunity for us to be visible in the parks,” she said. “We want in the park to go for the right reasons and make sure their activity is not infringing on another person’s activity. Those are the biggest keys, that everyone is enjoying it and enjoying it safely.” [email protected]

The Langford Lightning Bantam C girls used a big inning in the South Island district softball championship final Sunday to beat Salt Spring Island 6-4 at Centennial Park in Central Saanich.

The small-island team led 3-2 after two innings and 4-2 after four before the Lightning rallied for four runs in the fifth.

Both finalists qualified for the under-16C provin-cial tournament, set for July 4 to 6 in Port Alberni. Lightning head coach Mike Dixon said his girls showed character with the victory and should be very competitive at the B.C.s.

“I would definitely say that the best hitting team is the one that dominates there,” he said. “You’ve got to go out and hit the ball solid.”

While the Lightning featured what Dixon char-acterized as the best defence in the league, they came through with the bats when it mattered on the weekend.

They opened with a 5-2 win Saturday over the Brett Barwis-coached Lightning squad, won 13-2 over Oak Bay-Carnarvon and downed Salt Spring 11-9 in the winner’s bracket final.

Dixon’s team has one league game left, against Peninsula. A win there will tie them with Central Saanich for top spot in the regular season.

District playdowns in other age and skill levels also happened last weekend and are ongoing lead-ing up to the various provincial tournaments.

View Royal hosts the lone provincial tourna-ment in the region, the U14A girls championship, July 4 to 6 at Centennial Park on Helmcken Road.

Langford and View Royal also host the U12C regional tournaments this weekend.

Sports & Eye InjuriesWith the arrival of spring and summer comes

a surge of energy and an abundance of outdoor sports. As a result, every year a great number of sport-related eye injuries occur; for example: an elbow in the eye in rugby, a scratch from a fingernail in basketball, or a miscalculation of the path of a fly-ball.

Common sports-eye injuries include corneal abrasions, blunt injuries, and penetrating injuries. A corneal abrasion is a scrape to the outer surface of the eye, which is usually painful, but not severe. A blunt injury to the eye, from impact by a ball, fist, or elbow, can result in a black eye, or bleeding of the blood vessels which lie on top of the white, outer portion of the eye. More severe blunt trauma may cause further damage to important eye structures such as the retina or optic nerve, and can result in vision loss. Penetrating injuries occur when an object pierces the eye. Symptoms include vision loss, bleeding on the surface of the eye and foreign objects imbedded in the eye.

Prompt treatment is the key to preserving your vision. With most eye injuries, it is best to have them immediately examined by an optometrist. An exception would be something sticking into the eye. Leave the object in place and go directly to Emergency.

This summer, when you or your loved ones take to the field, be sure to protect your eyes with appropriate sports eyewear. Though they do not completely eliminate the eye injury, they will greatly reduce it.

During the hearing, resident Bob McLean of Addlington Place complained that a grass hydroseeding initiative done early this year to cut down on the dust was plowed under after a short time.

Fenske reiterated that the plan is to get the site work done as quickly as possible.

“It’s unfortunate that (bcIMC’s) intent in trying to be a good neighbour has been perceived as not being a good neighbour,” he said.

Not everyone focused entirely on the negative aspects of the work at the hearing.

Roger Conrod of Perimeter Place, whose wife has asthma and has been struggling with the dust, nonetheless noted, “you have to give a bit to gain a bit.” He said the developers have “done a good job in gen-eral,” but need to pay more attention to access and egress around the site.

Sandra McLean voiced opti-mism over what the project might look like 20 to 25 years

down the road, but said the city wasn’t doing much to follow up on current bylaw infractions.

“I want to know that the city’s going to be a good neigh-bour,” she said.

Jeff Hieu, speaking on behalf of the developer, committed to better communication around plans for the property and reminded listeners that “this is just the beginning of a much longer process.”

The approval of changes to the OCP does not preclude close scrutiny of each element

of the development plan, the first phase of which would be Meadow, a collection of single family detached homes that borders Metchosin Road and abuts the school property.

Overall, the Royal Bay pro-posal calls for 2,300 housing units to be constructed by full buildout in 2038, in for-mats ranging from single fam-ily detached homes to apart-ments.

There would be two com-mercial hubs and a set of dis-tinct [email protected]

Bread being crafted the old-fashioned wayHomemade takes on new meaning at Thrifty’s bakery

There was a breaking of the bread at Thrifty Foods’ Admirals Walk store last week, as the company unveiled its latest business initiative.

The Hearth is designed to take the View Royal store’s bakery depart-ment to the next level.

The pilot project has seen the product line expand, with an eye on artisan breads and gourmet prod-ucts, while continuing to offer more traditional bakery fare.

The store’s bakery manager, Seth Gustavson, was at the centre of the special ceremony Thursday. He spoke about how scratch ingredients make every loaf of bread unique.

“Just like with wine, where each vineyard has specific qualities that contribute to the flavour and body of the final product, artisan bread start-ers have their own unique profile,” he said.

The Hearth, developed in response to customer comments and sug-gestions, is a business template the company hopes to repeat in its other Vancouver Island stores.
