Dylan Nikkels, who plays George

Gibbs, and Katharine Lazar,

who takes on the role of Emily

Webb, are the lead actors in Royal

Bay secondary’s production of the

1930’s classic play, Our Town.

The show, running from Jan. 20 to 22,

is the first Royal Bay production to be mounted at the school’s

Royal Bay theatre adds to West Shore arts offeringsNew theatrical talent growing within purpose-built facility

When students walked in for the first time, there were tears.

Royal Bay secondary school drama instructor and artistic director Melissa Young remembers the awe on the young actors’ faces when they saw the new school’s 347-seat Teechamitsa Theatre. Many students, who had previously

attended Belmont, knew well the challenges of running a theatre program without a proper facility.

“I cannot begin to express how happy I am, how grateful I am to be working in this space. It’s truly amazing,” Young said between rehearsals for Royal Bay’s production of Our Town, which will be the first school production staged at the new facility when it premieres next Wednesday (Jan. 20).

“I rented theatres for many years … I have to pinch myself on stage.”

Young, who transferred over to

Royal Bay last fall, has overseen Belmont productions at other schools with theatres, such as Spectrum, to accommodate the drama program. Not only did that mean large set pieces had to be transported back and forth before and after a show’s run, theatre students didn’t have a proper theatre in which to rehearse day in and day out, or learn the production side. With the opening of the new school, all that has changed.

“The students appreciate it and they take care of the space. They’re

very helpful reminding people not to put feet on seats and not to eat there; they have really embraced it,” Young said. “They know how lucky they are and are very excited to be performing on stage and be backstage.”

Since September, more than 60 students in the various aspects of the theatre program have been working towards the inaugural production.

Preschool signups approach for fallWest Shore Parks and Rec. expands popular programs

Katherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff

While it may be the last thing on many parents’ minds, preschool registration is just around the corner for the 2016-17 school year.

“Our 10-month licensed preschool has been growing onsite and we have been expanding into the community,” said West Shore Parks and Recre-ation manager of recreation, Sandy Clarke.

That expansion includes such initiatives as the KinderPrep preschool program. It’s based at Royal Bay secondary inside the Neighbourhood Learn-ing Centre, a community facility operated by West Shore Parks and Recreation.

“We’re looking to make it a nature-based pro-gram,” Clarke said. This will see children experi-ence daily outside time – rain or shine – and will help align the program with others offered in the school district, such as the nature-based kinder-gartens that are growing in popularity.

Registration for programs begins at 6 a.m. on Feb. 25. But on Feb. 20, open houses are planned to answer any questions parents might have.

Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre, Royal Bay sec-ondary and the Centennial Centre (2805 Carlow Road) in Langford will host information events from 10 a.m. to noon. Each open house will be tailored to programs being offered at that loca-tion, with the Nature Preschool program being addressed at Juan de Fuca Recreation Centre.

Another program for children that is gaining a lot of attention, with classes starting now and into the spring, is the aspiring artists program.

“We’ve always had the aspiring artist program in some form,” Clarke said. “Right now, we’re trying to increase the participation.”

She noted they are increasing options for people to participate by adding a number of mediums for children to work in, and by also offering classes outside of typical times.

Clarke attributes the growing success of the pro-gram to instructor Heather Hyslop.

“She has a way of really instilling this wonderful interest in art … She makes it more than just sit-ting down and learning about an art project.”

Jack of all trades celebrates 100th birthday

West Shore Arts Council is on a musical missionOrganizers of new program aimed at West Shore youth are looking for music loversArnold Lim News Gazette staff

A free, 24-week music program aimed at West Shore youth living

in financial need, in a foster family, or experiencing difficulties is now taking applications.

West Shore Music Port will take up to 20 individuals for the program, which will include free music instruction and mentor-ship, culminating in a potential recital.

“In discussion with the RCMP and school district council, the more opportunities we can pro-vide (youth) with healthy environ-

ments … the better,” said West Shore Arts Council president Laura Davis.

“We can bring music to the youth – we can offer that as an option for them to find enjoyment and immerse themselves in.”

Options are available for rock, hip hop, reggae, metal, pop and percussion bands and each group practices once a week for 90 min-utes with professional instructors.

Use of all instruments, as well as

professional stage equipment, is provided by the Westshore Music Academy. Space is limited to four bands of five each for a total of 20 youth.

“As an arts council across the West Shore, we’re looking to bring new initiatives for youth and adults in the arts in any fashion that we can create,” Davis said.

“It’s a really good opportunity to hang out with your friends and make music.”

The intention for the partner-ship between the B.C. Arts Coun-cil, Colwood, Langford and the Westshore music academy is to use it as a pilot to roll into future youth programming, she said.

For more information or to sign up, send an email to [email protected] or call 250-532-0228. The registration deadline is Feb. 29.

Second World War veteran marks the occasion with family in LangfordKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff

Trying to sum up Roy Clark’s life in one article would be point-less. The adventures he’s had and the stories he could tell would fill the pages of a series of books. But mostly because the man who turned 100 last week is still living life everyday.

“It’s really nice to have my fam-ily here,” he said with a smile.

Joined by his three children, their spouses, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, as well as other residents of Jesken Aerie, an assisted living facility in the heart of Langford, Clark celebrated his 100th birthday on Jan. 7.

“He’s done everything, really,” said Clark’s oldest child, Sandra Fisher, adding he still goes out to Tim Hortons every morning to get a cup of coffee.

“He never complains. He’s a total positive thinker and a do-it-yourselfer. If you want it done, he’ll do it.”

While family members admit Clark has had to slow down a bit in recent years, the active senior is still quite the socializer: he handed out long-stemmed red roses to all in attendance at his big event.

In many ways, Fisher said, her father’s life reads like B.C.’s growth in the last century.

He’s worked in every sector,

from mining and railroads, to mills, transportation and even the tourism industry. He ended his working days in the fishing indus-try and built his own home in the Highlands.

Youngest son Grant Clark said that work ethic is probably what has kept his father going all of these years – that and his nine lives, he joked. “We all deck-handed together … When I was 18 he could outwork me.”

In retirement, Clark became quite the golfer, working hard on his left-handed swing and main-taining a 16 handicap well into his 80s.

Although, Grant added, his father had been a natural athlete, winning a decathlon in his army days with no formal training.

A Second World War veteran, Roy Clark fought with the First Battalion of the Canadian Scottish Regiment during the invasion of

Sicily, as well as in France, Bel-gium and Germany during the war.

“He’d go to where the front was, where the Germans were and radi-oed back where to shell,” said Grant, adding that being a wire-less radio operator often made Clark a target.

Oldest son, Gerry, said most of his father’s stories were about life and death, with his dad coming out victorious, although not all of his stories were happy ones. Roy lost his siblings when the ferry they were on sank.

But he kept going, Gerry said. With that strong work ethic, he defined the phrase “Jack of all trades.”

“Not only can he do it, but has done it and well too,” Gerry said.

“His basic philosophy, and what he taught the whole family, is whatever you can do, I can do better.”

Resale store hopes to make more connectionsKatherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff

A new shop will soon be open-ing its doors in Langford, in hopes of helping more women in the West Shore and the rest of the region.

“We’re really excited,” said Victoria Women in Need Com-munity Co-operative (WIN) exec-utive director, Clare Yazganoglu. “We’ve been wanting to expand to the West Shore and Langford for a long time now.”

WIN operates with the mis-sion of creating real opportuni-ties for local women and their families to be self-sufficient and employed through a number of programs. It works to assist them from a time of crisis to a time of self-reliance and well-ness.

To do this, the non-profit orga-nization operates several resale stores that not only provide ser-vices for the women they aid, but fund (along with financial

donations) the programs and services WIN offers.

“We’re totally self-sustaining,” Yazganoglu said.

One of those programs gives women gift certificates to spend at the resale stores to help them purchase items they may need to get back on their feet.

“We work with over 15 pro-gram partners to issue those gift certificates,” she added.

Other programs provide women with items to furnish their new living spaces, work to set achievable goals, and pro-vide funding for further educa-tion or other self-development. On average, WIN helps 1,000 women every year.

By opening a location on the West Shore, Yazganoglu said, it will give more accessibility to some of their clients and part-ners, even those in Sooke.

“It’ll just be much closer,” she said.

The Langford location, open-ing Jan. 18 at 129-735 Gold-stream Ave. near Darcy’s Pub, will be the fourth store for the non-profit and will have a vari-ety of items for sale including clothing, accessories, jewelry, collectable items, books and

electronics. The location will not be selling furniture due to space limitations.

It is also those space limita-tions that will restrict the store from accepting any donations, Yazganoglu said. “For now our plan is to bring our truck out … and accept donations that way.”

While they are still working away to stock the store before opening the doors, she is posi-tive the space will flourish with the support of the West Shore community.

“I think it’s an opportunity to expand our programs … We’re thinking about what new pro-gram partners we can work with.”

By having a storefront in the local community, she said, it will make it that much easier to develop partnerships and expand services on the West Shore.

To mark the opening, the new-est WIN resale store is holding a grand opening day on Thursday, Jan. 28 from 10 a.m. until 7 p.m.

Kendra WongVictoria News

To many children, Bonnie Clark may have seemed like Santa Claus.

She would give out gifts to the children in the Pacifica Housing complex in Victoria in which she lived in for roughly a decade – and any other chil-dren she knew – for their birthdays or Christmas.

Though she didn’t have a lot of money, she would go to a dollar store and purchase books, jewelry boxes or knick knacks with inspirational sayings.

Each wrapped present was marked indicating whether it was for a boy or girl.

“All the kids in her complex that she lived in, she always made sure they got one,” said Lang-ford resident Pat Kennedy. He was a long-time friend of Clark, who passed away in September, four months shy of her 51st birthday.

To honour her legacy, Kennedy and some of Clark’s other friends raised more than $2,000 toward the construction of a new $10,000 play-ground and memorial bench in the housing com-plex. The current playground is 25 years old.

“We really share a lot of the values that Bon-nie has in terms of caring for children. We’re also incredibly inspired by the kindness that she touched people’s lives with,” said Sacha Sauvé, manager of fund development with Pacifica Hous-ing, who will be installing the playground.

“It’s not every day that you lose someone and people come to your door and want to put a bench in their name. It was such a touching and inspiring gesture and we wanted to carry that.”

Kennedy recalled Clark as a “great person” who loved kids. “She’d do anything for everybody and she’d go out of her way to help anybody.”

The two met 35 years ago, when Kennedy and a friend were walking down the street and came across Clark and a friend. “We were thinking about going to a bluegrass festival, so we invited them to come with us,” he said, laughing. “We’ve been good friends ever since.”

The random act sparked a long friendship and over the years, they would get together for birth-days, Christmas and Thanksgiving, when Bonnie would show up – presents in hand. They also attended bluegrass festivals and concerts together.

Kennedy was there for the rough times in Clark’s life as well.

When she was 25, she was involved in a physical altercation with her then-boyfriend Ernest Dixon in their home in Sechelt. She wound up breaking her neck and was rendered quadriplegic. Dixon was acquitted on the charge of aggravated assault and convicted of common assault.

Being in a wheelchair never slowed Clark down, recalled Kennedy. She worked as an advocate for people who were newly paralyzed or victims of assault and helped victim services with counsel-ling for years.

Pacifica Housing intends to consult with Clark’s friends and residents of the housing complex to see what they would like to see in a playground. It hopes to have the project complete by the end of the summer.

Katharine Lazar is one of them, having taken on the role

of Emily Webb in the stage version of Thornton Wilder’s 1930s classic, Our Town. The play follows

two families and their children, doing so by exploring the human life cycle of childhood, adolescence, first love,

adulthood and finally death.

“I do think there is a strong message in the play and hopefully we’ll portray it to the audience,” Lazar said. “I hope they walk away (having) enjoyed themselves, but (also) learned something from it as well.”

Lazar had planned to attend the new Belmont this school year. Instead, she followed her teacher to Royal Bay to continue her studies under the tutelage of Young, an actor-turned-teacher who holds a masters degree in theatre.

Lazar said the amount of growth and learning she’s experienced this year has been a great opportunity. She looks forward to showing what the students have worked so hard to bring to Royal Bay’s stage as its first performance.

“Give it a chance, you’ll be amazed at what students will do,” she said. “We have put so much time and dedication and work to this to put on a good show; I hope people enjoy it.”

Our Town runs Jan. 20, 21 and 22 at 7 p.m. at the Teechamitsa Theatre at Royal Bay secondary. Tickets are $12.50 for adults, $10.50 for students and seniors and can be purchased in advance or at the door.

Good news kicks off new year around West Shore Happy New

Year! With sunny skies prevailing, 2016 is upon us. Hopefully everyone enjoyed their holidays and is settling back into their busy lives.

Metchosin Golf and Country Club is hosting its Bandwagon dinner and dance on Jan. 15. The Shorty Parker Band will be headlining and they play an upbeat dance mix. There will be a $5 donation request at the door and the band plays from 7 to 9:30 p.m.

The Saunders family and WestShore Chamber of Commerce cordially invite everyone to attend this month’s info-mixer Jan. 20 at Saunders Subaru, raising awareness of the B.C. Cancer Agency’s Deeley Research Centre in Victoria.

Join them to connect with other local business people, enjoy appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages, and learn more about how the Cancer Agency is preparing to launch immunotherapy clinical trials, an innovative new treatment option for cancer.

The Wednesday evening mixer takes place at 5:45 p.m. and the fee

for non-Chamber members will be waived for this event.

On Jan. 28, Victoria Women In Need Community Co-operative (WIN) officially opens the doors to a new resale store in the Goldstream Village neighbourhood – the fourth in Greater Victoria for the non-profit

experience of being an artist.The gallery’s opening hours are Wednesday

through Sunday from noon to 5 p.m.Do you have business or community news you’d

EDITORIALOUR VIEW

Avatar, the future-fantasy blockbuster that beat Titanic as all-time Hollywood box office champ, has finally been unseated by the latest Star Wars space opera.

I watched Avatar on TV over the holidays for the first time since its 2009 release, and was able to see past the bombastic special effects to examine it for what it is, an anti-capitalist propaganda film.

Psychopathic military commander teams with evil mining executive to blast and slaughter their way to a chunk of rare mineral, ridiculously named “unobtainium.” Giant tree, home of highly evolved Na’vi people and their delicate jungle ecosystem, is toppled for sadistic fun and profit, before nature’s collective strikes back.

Canadian director James Cameron helped the global anti-development network use the movie in its celebrity attack on the Alberta oil industry. Now the story line is being employed again in B.C., in an effort to revive the 1990s “war in the woods” that led to the creation of Carmanah Walbran Provincial Park on Vancouver Island.

Protest tactics are being refined. Targeting just outside the boundary of the vast park established 20 years ago, giant trees are named and an Avatar-style narrative of unbridled greed is spoon-fed to urban media.

There’s a “Tolkien Giant” now,

although I’m reliably informed it is not one of those trees that gets up and walks around in the Lord of the Rings movies. This tree is

also protected from logging, as are most of the poster trees used for propaganda and fundraising.

The network uses multiple front groups. Vancouver-based Wilderness Committee stages urban protests and issues news releases, while Ecojustice lawyers fight forest company injunctions against direct actions that disrupt legal

logging. An employee of the B.C. branch plant of Sierra Club lurks, apparently coordinating media and protesters.

A 1990s remnant called Friends of Carmanah-Walbran issued a statement Nov. 9 announcing “autonomous action” by three protesters to disrupt logging. Not their guys, you understand, just masked individuals willing to lock themselves to equipment or wander into a road-building blast zone, forcing work to stop for safety reasons.

These are among the actions that forced the logging company to go to court for an injunction.

Cast in the role of evil corporation is Teal-Jones Group, a B.C. forest company trying to operate in what is now the most environmentally restricted forest in the world. It keeps about 2,000 people employed in logging and its sawmills in Surrey, where

investments have been made to handle second-growth coastal timber as well as what little old-growth they are allowed to harvest.

Protesters have dubbed their latest target, the tiny 3.2 hectare cutblock 4424, “Black Diamond Grove” for media and fundraising purposes.

Teal-Jones forester Chris Harvey provided me some information to counter protester claims. Block 4424 isn’t being logged, although it was permitted last fall. Protesters are targeting other operations, none of which are in the contentious Walbran “bite” area next to the park. Teal-Jones has not only received permits and worked with environmental organizations, its operations are independently certified by the Canadian Standards Association.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge granted an extension of the injunction protecting Teal-Jones’ operations on Jan. 4. The judge wasn’t swayed by protesters packing the Victoria courtroom, and upheld a 50-metre safety zone around working equipment in the Walbran Valley until the end of March.

A Wilderness Committee spokesman with no evident forestry qualifications was appalled. He will no doubt continue to issue news releases and write his own version for left-wing fringe publications that seek to perpetuate an urban culture of revulsion for logging.

West Shore helps social initiatives

In recent years, the growth in West Shore communities and more reasonable commercial lease rates has prompted various in-town merchants to open up shop out here.

Looking to capitalize on the expanded customer base close by, companies such as Capital Iron, Costco, Staples, Andrew Sheret, Odeon Cineplex and many other smaller organizations have enjoyed success catering to a still-growing populace that increasingly looks for ways to avoid heading into Victoria.

That view to the West Shore from downtown Victoria hasn’t been limited to retail and other commercial operations, however.

Community social service organizations such as Salvation Army and St. Vincent de Paul have operated thrift stores here for years, recognizing the need.

And more recent arrivals, such as Habitat for Humanity, which moved its Greater Victoria head office and ReStore operations to Langford several years back, and Bridges for Women, which opened up a satellite campus in the city to offer career planning and support services for West Shore and Sooke residents, have become active members of the greater community.

Next week, another new social service-oriented group will make its presence felt on the West Shore. The Victoria Women in Need Community Co-operative, known better by most of us as WIN, has chosen downtown Langford to locate its fourth resale clothing and household goods store in the region.

No doubt they’ll find the competition tough in a geographical area that features a number of shops that market to a similar customer base. But the point is, this charitable organization, whose mandate is to help women in crisis and those facing other challenges to get back on their feet, sees our area as a place to further that admirable goal.

While we cannot advise readers to shop at one store over another, it’s nice to see that various aspects of our greater society in the region are choosing to provide services and products on the West Shore, giving our residents the opportunity to make even more of a difference with their purchases.

Why I go to WestShore?

The reason I go to WestShore is because I never felt a sense of belonging at other schools, I felt surrounded by a large group of people where no one knows my name. During the first week I knew I would be graduating this time around especially when I saw how much passion the teacher had for teaching.

I found a teacher that understands my learning style, understands who I am and actually cares about my future and my feelings. All the staff here have a real smile on their face when their kids do well. I’m not just a student to my teachers and staff, I am a brain with a future.

My goal is to grad and get into college for carpentry and try to have a great future. WestShore is definitely helping me get to my goal. It was my choice to transfer here and my choice to show up every day.

Within a week of being in the class I felt happy, and motivated. I actually wanted to graduate. And here I am. I’m in school and I’m going to graduate, because I have people to support me and I’m so happy I didn’t drop out. I have an even bigger family than normal in this classroom.

Why should I care about joining the WestShore Advisory Council? My kids are older now so I don’t need to be so involved with their school anymore and certainly not the PAC or I’m an adult student so I don’t think my input is necessary. Sound like something you’ve thought? I hope to help you understand the value of the PAC that you may not have realized. Each school PAC receives Gaming funds from the government. The funding is a significant amount and is about $20/student based on enrollment from the past year. This funding is used directly for students on items such as field trips, team building exercises, gym equipment, graduation ceremonies, other school-wide events and scholarships.

If the school does not have a PAC, these funds will not be issued to support a school. Gaming rules state that the funds cannot be administered by the School Administration or Staff, only by parents of students or in the case of WestShore, it also includes adult students. Therefore, without a PAC, Gaming will not provide funding or at least the funding cannot be spent without valid signatories and would then have to be given back. The meetings are 1 hour every month (10 meetings per year), contact the Langford Campus to find out when/where the next meeting is. So why should you care about joining PAC? Because the students need you, even if they don’t realize it! Thank you! WestShore Advisory Council.

As a Colwood resident, I am dismayed by the proposed inequality of the funding options for a sewage treatment plant.

More than 70 per cent of Colwood homes have a septic system. Many systems are at the age of needing to be replaced, at a potential cost of up to $50,000 (quoting the Capital Regional District). We also pay, as mandated through bylaws, for ongoing reportable maintenance of our septic

systems.I have been told by our

mayor and the CRD that there are no plans for most of Colwood to ever hook up to sewer. While I am willing, even as a non-user, to contribute to a regional solution, I am not willing in a two-plant option or more, to pay the highest rates in all the region. In a two- or four-plant option, Colwood residents on septic will be paying more per household than Oak Bay, Victoria, Saanich,

Esquimalt, View Royal or Langford households.

I don’t see how anyone, living in Colwood or not, can think that is fair, equitable or just.

Patricia BaileyColwood

SoCred Bennett’s legacynot so rosy, reader writes

Re: The passages of 2015: Bill Bennett (B.C. Views, Jan. 6)

Tom Fletcher’s opinion piece needs some historical balance. From his right wing soap box, Fletcher lashes out at his usual targets: “militant unions and big labour left.” He praises Bennett’s “Restraint” program that slashed social services, gutted labor laws and made massive cuts to public schools while blaming teachers. This loaded the pain of a weak economy on the elderly, sick, young and vulnerable, a common occurrence in B.C.

Let’s not forget the biggest financial boondoggle in provincial history, the Coquihalla Scandal. Bennett

used non-union contractors to allegedly keep the cost of the highway down (sound familiar to the Site C dam?). The cost rose from $375 million to near $1 billion, yet was kept secret from the public and the legislature.

To cover their tracks, Bennett’s government used no special warrants for additional funds, but rather a lot of contortions in a financial shell game to sweep the scandal under the carpet. Bill Bennett did some good things for B.C., but misleading the legislature would get you fired in many democracies.

There’s nothing like a good rest to recharge the batteries and hit the ice flying. The Victoria Grizzlies showed their extended Christmas break worked well, putting together solid games at home last weekend against two squads well up on them in the B.C. Hockey League standings.

Sunday’s 5-0 win over the Langley Rivermen at The Q Centre followed up a 5-3 victory against Island Division rival Powell River on Friday.

“We’re firing on all cylinders, but you know the old saying, ‘you’re only as good as your last game’ and we’ve got another one this Tuesday,” Griz-zlies head coach Craig Didmon said after Sun-day’s win. “We can feel good about our weekend, but certainly we’ve got another battle on Tuesday (against second-place Cowichan Valley).

Last night’s game in Duncan was played after the Gazette’s press deadline.

Grizzlies goalie Matthew Galajda picked up the shutout Sunday, turning aside 22 shots.

“Everything felt good,” he said of posting his third goose egg of the season. “We minimized their chances, our D did a good job of clearing rebounds, and I just so happened to get a shutout.”

The netminder was helped by a two-goal perfor-mance by Brayden Gelsinger, who added the pair to the three goals he scored against Powell River and now has 18 for the season to go along with a team-high 30 assists. P.J. Conlon, with his 10th, Jared Virtanen and Mitchell Barker also scored.

Galajda kicked out 34 shots for the win against Powell River, a game in which Victoria never trailed. The Grizzlies led 1-0 after 20 minutes and opened up a 3-0 lead in the second before Powell River bagged a couple of goals.

Cole Pickup’s second of the game and 14th of the season made it 4-2 Grizzlies 6:03 into the third, but the Kings pulled within one when Kyle Betts scored his second of the game, shorthanded at the 12:03 mark. Gelsinger iced things with an empty netter in the final minute.

Despite “a couple of lapses” against the Kings, Didmon said, “I thought that was a pretty con-sistent hockey game by our club. Everybody in the lineup had a good game. When you’ve got four lines rolling like that and you can get seven d-men playing and being conservative and effi-cient, you’re going to have good games.”

As for gaining a little momentum to start 2016, Galajda said he and his teammates hope to keep things going. With third-place Powell River still enjoying a comfortable 10-point bulge over the fourth-place Grizzlies (16-20-4-0) and Alberni Valley just three points back, there’s lots of work ahead.

“We just know that we’re in a playoff battle right now and we have to keep getting wins,” he said.

The Grizzlies open a three-game road trip on Fri-day in Prince George, then play in Chilliwack and Surrey the following two nights. Their next home game is Jan. 23 against Salmon Arm.

New year victories give Grizzlies boost

What is 20/20 vision?You may be pleased to hear that you have 20/20

vision and think you have perfect vision. But do you?Not necessarily. 20/20 only indicates how sharp

or clear your vision is at a distance. Overall vision also includes peripheral awareness or side vision, eye coordination, depth perception, focussing ability and colour vision.

20/20 is the average visual clarity obtainable by normal healthy eyes. Since it is an average, it means that there are those that see better or worse than 20/20 and yet still have healthy eyes.

20/20 describes normal visual clarity or sharp-ness measured at a distance of 20 feet from an object. If you have 20/20 vision, you can see clearly at 20 feet what should normally be seen at that dis-tance. If you have 20/100 vision, it means that you must be as close as 20 feet to see what a person with normal vision can see at 100 feet. In the metric system, 6/6 is the equivalent of 20/20.

The ability to see objects clearly is affected by many factors. Eye conditions like nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism or eye disease in� u-ence visual acuity. Most people with vision slightly below 20/20 function very well, whereas some peo-ple who have better than 20/20 feel their vision is not satisfactory. Everybody’s visual expectations are different and satisfactory vision is far more complex than just being able to see 20/20.

If you feel your vision is not up to standard a comprehensive eye examination will identify causes that may affect your ability to see well. Optometrists may be able to prescribe glasses, contact lenses or other vision aids that will help improve your vision. If the reduced vision is due to an eye disease, the use of ocular medication or other treatment may be needed. If necessary, a referral to a specialist will be made if an eye disease is found which warrants further investigation.

Women’s soccer team reps do battle in Langford Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

Where Game 1 of Sunday’s Lower Island Women’s Soc-cer Association all-star day saw a demonstration of potent firepower, game 2 was a gritty match that needed a shootout to determine a winner.

Castaways-Highlanders FC’s Liz Hansen showed the flair of old, scoring three goals to lead Team Pink to a 6-0 win over Team Purple in the Premier-Division 1 opener at Westhills Stadium.

All the goals came in the first half, as Hansen, longtime teammate Mariel Solsberg of Castaways Highlanders FC and Claire Ethier of Vancouver Island Wave, and other talented play-ers unleashed a barrage on their opponents.

“We had our goal-keeper in net; I had to score on her a few times just to keep her quiet at practice,” Hansen said with a grin, refer-ring to fellow Highland-ers teammate Stephanie Parker.

“It’s a good kick-around after Christmas to get everyone out,” Hansen said of the all-star format. “It was a fun game. I think we came out strong early and just had some fun.”

Solsberg, Janelle Smith of Prospect Lake Premier and Heidi McGeough of Prospect Lake Div. 1 also scored in the win.

In the second half, Team Purple carried much of the play as sub-stitutions came in and the flow of the game settled somewhat. But neither team forced the opposing goalkeeper to come up big in the half.

Hansen’s output

earned her game most valuable player honours for the Team Pink. Parker may have been in goal for the first-half onslaught, but her many athletic stops helped keep the score from being even more lopsided and prompted organizers to award her Team Purple’s MVP award.

Both players were awarded game balls autographed by all the players, as well as a plaque.

The Div. 2, 3 and over-30s play-ers who suited up for the second match of the day put together a fast, hard-tackling affair that wound up in a 2-2 draw by the end of regulation and overtime. Team Pink scored five times to Purple’s four in a shootout to record the win.

Regulation time saw a pair of Juan de Fuca players thrust into the spotlight. Shayna Dry scored both goals for the Pink side, while Tory Van Tyckom matched the feat for the Purple

squad. Both were named MVPs.Association president Casey

Tepper said the spirit of the games was positive, although a couple of players were injured in the second match.

“The score doesn’t matter, what matters is the smiles on their faces,” he said.

The matches offered specta-tors a good taste of women’s soccer in Greater Victoria, Han-sen said.

“I think the fans saw some good plays here, saw some goals and some good tackling and good passing,” she said. “It’s just a small bit of what Victoria has to offer. There’s lot of good players out there, and lots who aren’t even here today.”

Volunteers selling 50/50 tick-ets raised about $250 for the Mustard Seed Food Bank on the day, and four large boxes of non-perishable food were [email protected]

Slumping Wolves can end streak tonight Westshore Wolves are looking to right their ship

in Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League play.Having lost four straight games – including one

at home and two on the road last week – and dropped to fourth place in a tight South Division, the Wolves (16-17-0-3) look to rebound tonight (Jan. 13) when they face the Peninsula Panthers at 7 p.m. at The Q Centre in Colwood.

The black cats beat the Wolves 3-1 in North Saa-nich last Friday and sat three points up on Wests-hore entering this week’s play.

The Wolves lost a heartbreaker in Mill Bay on Saturday, 1-0 to the surging Kerry Park Islanders, who won their third straight game and sit in sec-ond place, four points up on the Wolves.

The locals scored their lone goal on the power play early in the third period, while the Wolves went zero for five in man advantage situations.

Westshore goalie Leighton Williams was solid, turning aside 30 shots. He was named the game’s

second star for his efforts.The night before at Panorama Recreation Cen-

tre, the Wolves outshot the Panthers 35-28, but Cameron Kinsman’s third-period goal was the only shot to beat Peninsula goalie Alex Olson.

The week began with a 5-0 home loss to arch-rival Victoria Cougars at The Q Centre last Wednes-day. The Cougars, who were riding a 20-game win streak to start the week, host the Wolves for a 7 p.m. game tomorrow (Jan. 14) at Archie Browning Sports Centre.

Reader Photo of the Week

View Royal resident Tony Trofymow caught a glimpse of these New Year’s Day beach walkers near the Metchosin - Colwood border north of Albert Head Park.

Trofymow likes how the image is framed with glimpses of Victoria, Esquimalt and Mt. Baker in the distance.

If you’ve got a photo of West Shore people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help. Every week, we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered

for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to [email protected].

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

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