Amanda Evans, program manager for the fledgling Greater Victoria Green Team, pulls a bit of English ivy in View Royals Portage Park. The team is recruiting volunteers to participate in a tree and shrub planting event in the park Sept. 14, building on previous invasive species work done in the park by volunteers.
Portage Park to receive more TLCView Royal space getting help from fledgling Green TeamDon DescoteauNews Gazette staff
Walking down the stairs behind View Royals town hall, one gets a sense of entering a wooded wonderland.
Portage Park, perched at the south end of the municipality on the edge of Esquimalt Harbour Thetis Cove to be exact is a wild, seven-hectare gem fea-turing numerous plant and tree species, not to mention industrious spiders.
Amanda Evans is mindful of a couple of webs as she sidles up to a Douglas fir
covered with English ivy for a photo. The program manager for the Greater Victo-ria Green Team is doing a little promo for the third community environmental event facilitated by her fledgling group: a native tree and shrub planting set for this Sunday (Sept. 14).
Evans is very familiar with this beauti-ful urban park. Before taking the job with the Green Team, she was a member of the Portage Park volunteer group that has worked hard the past two years to rid the area of invasive species through ivy pulls and other clearing activities.
It needs a little bit of love and atten-tion, she says of the park. Over 80 per cent of the park is covered in ivy.
The teams mandate is to collabo-rate with various environmental proj-
ect co-ordinators in the Capital Region and help round up volunteers, through things like Meetup postings on social media, from the hundreds of people will-ing to get down and dirty to help native plant species.
Formed this year as an expansion of the hugely successful Green Team in Greater Vancouver, the Greater Victoria team aims to not only broaden the vol-unteer corps for all local stewardship groups, but raise awareness of area parks and help municipalities battle invasive species.
Theres so many parks here I havent even been to, Evans says.

And the ever-popular truck and tractor pulls backAngela CowanNews Gazette staff
The 104th edition of the Luxton Fall Fair kicks off Friday (Sept. 12), with plenty of activities and offerings to keep visitors busy.
This years fair features two entertainment stages, with popular Victoria bands Sombrio and The Tumblin Dice among the bands performing Saturday and Sunday.
Theyre kind of dubbing it the Luxton music fest, says Marni Jacobs, advertising and promo-tions co-ordinator for the fair.
Back by popular demand is the truck and trac-tor pull, pitting horsepower against horsepower
in a fierce competition on Saturday and Sun-day in the rodeo arena. Admission is $15 per day, or $20 for both. Kids 12 and under are free. Also revving their engines are the dirt bike enthusiasts from Westshore Motocross, who are bringing a learn-to-ride program for the littlest bikers with 50cc bikes with training wheels.
West Coast Amusements Midway will have all their stomach-dropping rides open all weekend long. Wristbands cost between $33 and $38 for unlimited rides, or books of tickets are available.
Arts in the Barn showcases mediums for all ages and the horticulture and agriculture exhibitions pay homage to the art of farming and growing.
Its fun for all ages and theres something for everyone, Jacobs says.
For more information, visit [email protected]
Alls Fair in falln The Luxton Fall Fair gets underway Friday at 3 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Luxton Fairgrounds, off Happy Valley Road, just south of the Sooke Road traffic light.

Work on bike lanes underway on busy stretch of road
Arnold LimNews Gazette staff
New bike lanes along Millstream
Road between Treanor Avenue and Bear Mountain Parkway are well into construction, a project helped by a $38,091 BikeBC grant.
Its important to improve pedestrian and cycling safety in this section of the road, said Michelle Mahovlich, City of Lang-ford director of engineering. When we fund by grant, we are
also saving taxpayers money.The city applied for grants for
three sections of road and secured one. The Millstream section in particular, a stretch with a lot of industrial traffic, would benefit cyclists the most, Mahovlich said.
Langford is matching the pro-vincial infrastructure grant for the project, which is seeing bike
lanes created on both sides of the road. As well, certain sections of the busy road are being widened to accommodate both bike and motor vehicle traffic.
The BikeBC grant was one of 16 totalling $1.18 million that were given to 13 communities across the province and earmarked for cycling lanes, trails and paths.
Construction started the sec-ond week of August and we are hoping to get it mostly done by the end of September, Mahovlich said. Im looking forward to get-ting it done.
The only other CRD community to secure one of the grants was Salt Spring Island ($60,000).

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF
Residents OK after mobile home fire
View Royal firefighters kept a mobile home fire on Cooper Road from spreading on Friday.
It was a deck that caught fire on the outside, said Lt. Heath Bevan. By the time the crews got there, it had started to work its way inside.
Firefighters controlled the blaze and extinguished it, leav-ing mostly exterior damage to the home and minimal damage to a motorhome that had been parked out front.
No one was hurt and firefight-ers were able to rescue a dog from the main home. The cause of the fire is still under [email protected]
United Way campaignkicking off soon
The United Way of Greater Victoria is launching its 2014 campaign next week with three lunchtime events, including a pop-up event in the heart of Langford on Sept. 18.
The charity funding organiza-tion will be announcing its fund-raising goal for the year at the main campaign kickoff Sept. 17, running from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Centennial Square in downtown Victoria. The event will feature music, food and bev-erages.
The following day the cam-paign team comes to the Real Canadian Superstore in Langford and Esquimalt Country Grocer from 11:30 to 1 p.m. On Sept. 19, United Way reps are at May-fair Mall for the lunchtime gather-ing. For more information, visit uwgv.ca.
Thetis Lake Park being expanded Arnold LimNews Gazette staff
Land once used as a firing range will soon become part of Thetis Lake Regional Park.
Visitors to the Capital Regional District-operated park will soon be able to access more open space, following site remediation currently underway on a 0.75 hectare parcel, formerly the site of a firing range for police forces,
security companies and local gun clubs.
Its been going on for a long time, View Royal Coun. David Screech said of targeting the range area west of Highland Road for parkland.
Even before I was on council before 2002 the need for clean up had been identified. It has just taken a long time, (but) we are actually going to do something with it now.
Remediation of the area involves excavating soil, disman-tling the soil berms that were once fired upon and removing all
contaminated soil from the site. The project is costing the CRD $712,610 while $74,720 for the project is being provided through provincial grant money.
Screech listed a couple of rea-sons for undertaking the project.
Number 1, the risk of contami-nation and runoff will be elimi-nated, which I think is impor-tant, he said. Also, the residents will be able to enjoy that area and use it as an open green space, which they (cannot really do) at the moment. That, to me, is the key benefit the neighbourhood will receive.
The soil at the former pistol park was deemed contaminated by the province after it closed, due to the metals from bullets and casings found at the site.
As a town we are delighted to see it moving forward and get it completed. Weve wanted to see it happen for many years, Screech said. We look forward to when the fences can come down and it can (finally) be opened up to people.
There was no firm timeline available for the projects com-pletion.
A backhoe works alongside soil being remediated on the former site of the pistol firing range in Thetis Lake Regional Park. The range area is being converted back into usable parkland.Arnold Lim/ News Gazette staff

The 47th annual Metchosin Day festivities drew thousands from all over the Greater Victoria area on Sunday, as people enjoyed the all-day entertainment, relaxed on the hay rides and indulged in an abundance of
delectable goodies.The sweet smell
of dried hay and cut grass filled the air, mingling with mouth-watering barbecue scents, bringing people in droves to the hot dog and hamburger stands.
Many of the vendors offered up irresistible baked goods, including handmade breads and even some beer-
battered donuts.The pet show was
a smashing success, with entrants taking away blue ribbons for Best Rural Pet, Best Costume, Most Unusual Pet and many more. Metchosin 4H club members were out in full force showing off their ducks, chickens and roosters.
The Metchosin
volunteer fire departments kid-sized obstacle course had its fair share of photo moments, as toddlers donned miniature firefighter jackets and helmets and ran through, saving toy babies and spraying the big hose (with help).
And down at the riding ring, the Metchosin Equestrian
Society riders showed off their talents, along with displays from the Manestream Vaulters, Rocky Mountain horses, Trish Hyatt western dressage, Arabian horses and endurance riders.

(The Portage Park event is) a way for people to not only find out about this beautiful park, but do something important for the environment.
Sundays family friendly event is a joint initiative between the Town of View Royal, the Portage
Park Eco-Pathfinders and the Ancient Forest Alliance. It runs from 9:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. Park-ing is available around the town hall, 45 View Royal Ave., and volunteers are asked to register there before entering the park.
Volunteers are asked to bring a refillable water bottle and wear a long-sleeved shirt and long

West Shore news through the decades
Some issues just get residents riled up, as we found from this weeks look back through the decades in past pages of the Gazette:
10 years ago:In the middle of an already
controversial special meeting called to move forward a bylaw on rainwater management, residents Doug Stevenson and Ron Houle got into a shouting match that saw Stevenson chal-lenge Houle to step outside for a fight. At least one punch was thrown, and Stevenson left the area before RCMP arrived to sort things out.
Also making the news in September of 2004: The Victo-ria Salsa is forced to share ice time at Bear Mountain Arena for a while with the ECHLs Vic-toria Salmon Kings, due to the delayed completion of Save-On-Foods Memorial Centre.
And, proponents of the Gold-stream Meadows project, which proposes 430 homes, a business park and a firehall or training facility for the Langford Lake area, make another pitch to council before a final decision is made.
20 years ago:A tricky section of the Trans
Canada Highway known as Sui-cide Corner claims another vic-tim, after a southbound pickup truck driven by Paul Pronk, 29, of Shawnigan Lake struck the tail end of a tractor trailer unit that had fishtailed out of control in the rain ahead of it near the entrance to Goldstream Park. Pronk was killed instantly, police said.
Also making the news in Sep-tember 1994: View Royal town council gives final approval for a major commercial and resi-dential complex at Admirals and Hallowell roads.
The only thing holding the project up now is the towns sewer moratorium, prevent-ing any project that increases the flow of sewage through its already straining pipes.
And, the Luxton Fall Fair marks the 75th anniversary of its beginning with some special activities including a ceremony to honour life members of the Metchosin Farmers Institute.
30 years ago:The referendum date for View
Royals incorporation question
is likely slated for mid-October. Despite pressure from residents who favour amalgamation with Esquimalt, that option is not likely to be on the ballot, since no clear decision would be achieved, Minister of Munici-pal Affairs Bill Ritchie said at an information meeting attended by around 200 people.
Also making the news in Sep-tember 1984: Colwood billiard parlour owner Paul Buddy DeVito refuses to remove five video machines from his estab-lishment, despite being ordered to do so by Capital Regional Dis-trict bylaw officers.
The bylaw states arcades may not operate within 500 metres of a school. He argues that Bud-dys Place, located across from Ruth King elementary, is not an arcade but a billiard hall and is not legally subject to the bylaw.
And, first baseman Rob Ekstrom, playing for a Greater Victoria team in the national under-21 baseball finals against Quebec, enjoys the thrill of his lifetime competing in an exhibi-tion home run-hitting contest against four members of the Montreal Expos.

EDITORIALOUR VIEW
The B.C. Teachers Federations latest demand, for binding arbitration on selected pocketbook issues of its members, is going nowhere.
This follows months of the unions insistence on mediation. First a B.C. Supreme Court judge met with both sides and walked away. Then the BCTFs preferred choice, Vince Ready, agreed that mediation wont fix the current version of the mess he last examined in 2007.
BCTF president Jim Iker announced the arbitration gambit on Friday, in one of the webcasts he uses to rally the unions exhausted membership. Education Minister Peter Fassbender replied that with five minutes notice to the governments chief negotiator and lacking specifics on what would be subject to arbitration, the proposal would forfeit the governments mandate to control costs.
This government will not raise taxes in order to provide a settlement to one union that does not reflect what the other public sector has done, Fassbender said.
In short, there will be a negotiated settlement, eventually. The union chose to begin the strike, and now must find a way to end it.
The governments position in this dispute is unlike any of the many that preceded it. And it points the
way to an evolution of education that cannot be stopped.
The announcement of a $40-a-day payment for days lost during a fall strike for children under 13 was greeted with scorn by the BCTF and its echo chambers. Parents wont be bribed, they want school, not daycare, its an insult, went the refrain.
Before the first week of the fall strike was over, nearly two thirds of eligible parents had enrolled, faced with pickets at their schools and real and mounting
child care and tutoring costs. The union executives, collecting their hefty salaries while teachers do without even token strike pay, said members who are parents should refuse the money.
Some B.C. teachers have begun advertising tutoring services online. With distance learning and other online education options expanding in all 60 public school districts, the digital revolution is unfolding quickly.
The B.C. government made a couple of announcements in April, one about moving to digital versions of textbooks and another about a digital merger of 1,600 school libraries with public and post-secondary schools. Growth of options accelerates.
Largely drowned out by the noise of 1970s-style industrial
labour strife, the B.C. public school curriculum is being refashioned for this new age. Among its goals is to allow teachers and students the flexibility to personalize their learning experience to better meet each students individual strengths and needs.
One of B.C.s early models for self-directed learning is Thomas Haney Secondary in Maple Ridge, where senior high students are expected to make their own way through course work, learning to manage their own time.
It was here that the first couple of Grade 12 students showed up last week to begin making up for lost time from the strike that set in last spring. Self-directed study has become a crash course.
Private schools are also swamped with applications from Grade 12 students looking for particular courses they will need by next year.
In the short term, Fassbender says the lost strike days will likely have to be restored to the school schedule.
Do you put it on at the end of the year? Do you take it out of spring break? Do you take it out of Christmas holidays? My staff are looking at all of the options, Fassbender said.
In the longer term, the whole factory model of school is on the way out.

Factory model fading for schools
Sewage separationnext logical step
While many West Shore residents, not least of which Langford Mayor Stew Young, questioned giving control for sewage treatment to the Capital Regional District, it seemed for a while that the CRD was proceeding in a logical, if challenging direction to develop a plan linking the partners in the project.
But over time, as the planning costs mounted and the uncertainty and fragility of locating the main treatment plant in Esquimalt became apparent, that public trust quickly fell apart. To many it seemed more and more that the CRD was flying by the seat of its pants.
It comes as no surprise to us, then, that municipal politicians who sit at the CRD board table, and those who dont, have already started looking at alternatives, such as doing studies on how their jurisdictions can meet provincial and federal government treatment requirements. Those alternatives also include teaming up with neighbouring municipalities.
Esquimalt Mayor Barbara Desjardins indicated this week that some form of West side partnership might be more palatable to her residents than the previous mega-plant idea rejected for McLoughlin Point. Such a plan could include View Royal, Colwood and Langford with Esquimalt, with flows being treated at one plant or multiple smaller plants, given that Colwood has already started down its own road on treatment.
Is the fact municipalities are scrambling to find alternatives a case which could have been avoided in a more amalgamated region? Perhaps. But that discussion is rather pointless, since sewage treatment has to get done first.
Rather than laying blame for the regional project falling apart the lack of a firm commitment for a main site was the largest of various troubling aspects of the project we prefer to look at the current state of discussions as breathing fresh air into a process that had stagnated.
The very real prospect facing taxpayers, however, is that funding from upper levels of government may disappear before smaller projects are decided upon. While it may be gratifying for residents to have more independence on such matters, that autonomy does not come without a cost.

LETTERSStrike provides more fodderBinding arbitrationis the answer
Why wouldnt the province agree to binding arbitration at this point in the impossible teacher/government impasse? Theyve already given lip service to the idea of letting the class composition issues work their way through the courts.
If Premier Christy Clark and Education Minister Peter Fassbender would do just that, the only significant things to arbitrate would be wages and benefits.
Some people are worried that binding arbitration would end up costing the taxpayers mega dollars more than a negotiated settlement. But when each side realizes that inflated demands are very unlikely to be accepted, realistic demands become the order of the day. It would not cost more. The real cost to the tax payers is the number of kids who might fall through the cracks if the system continues to be underfunded.
The government continues to use cut-and-paste, smoke-and-mirrors political responses to blindside the public about how much they want the kids back in school. There is clearly no will on their part to back up what they sell to the public in the media. If they really want the kids back in school, they simply need to agree to
arbitration. Its simple. Lets get the kids back in school soon.
Tom CullenLangford
Socialist-style rant rankles Gazette reader
Re: Teachers strike a sad affair (Letters, Aug. 22)
Giving $40 per child under 13 to help parents cope with daycare, etc. is not a bribe. The minister is trying to resolve this dispute without arbitration.
Concern over corporations taking over transit, schools and hospitals is only socialist fear mongering. Free enterprise in the U.S. sees schools, highway road and maintenance, and hospitals state-run. Some hospitals are built by corporations which supply the land and buildings with their equipment.
Do you frown on Bill Gates, what he donates in the world, or Warren Buffett?
Sure, this government has made mistakes (HST and B.C. Rail fiasco). But I would sooner take a Canadian governments mistakes than in a socialist-communist country, period.
Next month legislate the teachers back to work. Striking during final exams and graduation is dirty union pool and a no brainer.
Knut A. KrogstadLangford
Call in essential service clause to end strike
Although I understand and support what the B.C.Teachers Federation is fighting for, I strongly believe that bankrupting teachers and denying children their legal right to a public education, while waiting for a court ruling is causing far more harm than there could ever be future good.
It is the childrens best interests I am most concerned about and their legal right to a public education is being denied indefinitely. Public education under the School Act was made an essential service under the B.C. Labour Relations Act, section 72 (1)(a)(ii). This dispute poses a threat to the provision of educational programs to students and eligible children under the School Act 72 (2.1)(b).
Parents need to call on the Minister of Jobs, Tourism, and Skills Training and the Minister of Labour to follow this B.C. Labour Relations Act law and direct the Labour Relations Board to designate the productions and services of daily educational instruction for Kindergarten to Grade 12 programs as an essential service during this dispute and while negotiations are ongoing.

Q: How do I choose a Funeral HomeA: To some extent, the public does not always understand or appreciate the many tasks associated with arranging for the nal disposition of human remains and coordinating a meaningful ceremony for the deceased. A funeral director can be involved with completing numerous tasks which can occupy up to 80 hours of time. The services and human resources of a funeral home are continuously available 24 hours per day, answering calls that come at the ring of a telephone or the sound of a doorbell. When choosing a funeral home, there are guideposts to steer by to help you with your decision making.
Have you met the funeral director in your community? Take a tour of the funeral home. Is the Funeral home, clean, well maintained, and comfortable? Did the staff make you feel welcomed, understood and safe? Do you know their personal and professional reputation? How long have they been serving their community? What has been the experience of relatives, friends and neighbours? Is the funeral home a full service facility and able to handle all of your
needs (chapel, visitation room, reception and catering facilities,parking, licensed staff etc.)?
Is the funeral home a member in good standing with the FuneralService Association?
Please email me ([email protected]) your questions and/or concerns aboutanything and everything to do with before and after death procedures, legalities, traditions etc. and I will do my best to answer them.

All aboard!Victoria Model Railway Club member Stewart Clark watches a pair of trains under his control with a high-tech electronic remote during the annual model railway show at the Juan de Fuca curling rink. The event saw the club set up a large display and track while other hobbyists and commercial ventures had booths and tables set up for the public to check out.

Fall show promises riot of colourIn late summer and fall, much of the available
local produce comes in some shade of orange or green.
From pumpkins and zucchini to tomatoes and gourds of all shapes and sizes, natures bounty is plentiful this time of year. That growth is not lim-ited to edible produce, as members of the View Royal Garden Club can attest.
The club is hosting its annual fall exhibit, sale and judged competition of flowers, vegetables and fruits this Saturday (Sept. 13) at Shoreline Commu-nity School, 2750 Shoreline Dr.
This is one of our biggest shows of the year, said Colwood resident and club member Maureen Thompson, who plans to enter her giant fringed dahlias in the cut flowers section of the competi-tion.
The public is also welcome to exhibit their roses and other late summer plants, she said.
Besides taking part in the judged portion of the show, many club members will also have baked goods and a variety of planted perennial cuttings in pots for sale.
The show runs from 1 to 3 p.m. at the school. Admission is $5 and includes refreshments and eligibility for door prizes.
For more information on the show or the club in general, visit viewroyalgardenclub.wordpress.com or call 250-478-5880 or 250-479-7123.
