Rugby event a featherin city’s cap‘Great energy’ put out by packed houses: Langford councillor

Don DescoteauNews Gazette staff

After seeing yet another packed house assemble to watch Canada “A” play international rugby at Westhills Stadium, Langford Coun. Lillian Szpak couldn’t say enough about the fans.

“I think it’s gone very well. The crowds have been so excited and there’s been a great energy,” she said of the IRB Americas Rugby Championship, a four-team round robin that wrapped up Sunday.

Despite a second straight Canadian loss at the event – 39-9 to the peren-nial tournament champion Argentina Jaguars – that left the home team with the bronze medal, Szpak maintained her enthusiasm for Rugby Canada and Lang-ford’s hosting of the event.

“Having been a rugby mom (her husband, Bob, and son, Michael once played on the same team), to me this is very exciting. I don’t know a lot about the game, but I know enough to follow it,” she said.

“Just to see that whole sense of pride that everyone has in the facility we have here, and for Rugby Canada and for hav-ing the (Rugby) Centre for Excellence, is just awe-inspiring for many people in Langford. And we’re very, very proud of the team.”

Noon-hour supervisor and crossing guard Cathy Gordon-Findley gets a flu shot from registered nurse Karen Fraser at the Sooke School District office last week. Employees were taking advantage of a district immunization program.

School district mindful of flu seasonArnold LimNews Gazette staff

It’s getting close to flu season.As such, Sooke School District employ-

ees are lining up lately for free flu shots at schools and offices across the district.

District superintendent Jim Cambridge said the immunization clinics are an invest-ment in the health of the community.

“It is super important to keep our

employees healthy … simply because we have so many kids,” he said. “We are a people business. There’s 9,400 students in our school district and 2,000 employees. There are a lot of people involved.”

Approximately 30 per cent of the dis-trict’s employees, including bus drivers, support staff, teachers and administrators, participate in the voluntary free program.

While Cambridge said he hoped to see more people participate in this program,

many receive flu shots elsewhere, such as from their doctor, at a walk-in clinic, at pub-lic flu shot clinics or from a pharmacist.

The district, which does not mandate that employees get a flu shot or wear a mask during flu season – unlike Island Health for health-care workers – does not keep track of the total number immunized.

Teachers, support staff, administrators take part in immunization program

Trustee hopefuls off and running

A pair of visitors on a tour of the under-construction Royal Bay secondary check out some of the equipment already installed in the school. The new facility, along with the new Belmont secondary, will be among the budget centres new Sooke School District trustees will have to contend with in the upcoming term. The two schools are slated to open in September 2015. Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

Often pushed to the back-ground with the focus on munici-pal elections are the candidates for school trustee. In the Sooke School Dis-trict, 18 people are running for one of seven trustee posi-tions on the board of education.

They’re separated into two zones: Bel-mont, for the areas which feed to Belmont secondary; and Milne’s Landing, for areas that feed to Edward Milne Community School in Sooke.

Incumbents Rob Brown, cur-rent board chair Wendy Hobbs, Denise Riley and Dianna Seaton

from the Belmont zone; and Bob Phillips, Neil Poirier and Mar-got Swinburnson representing

Milne’s Landing are all running.

Joining them in the race to serve for four years are Stephanie Longstaff, Melissa McConnell, Ravi Par-mar, Jan Peever, Tim-othy Rud, Elizabeth

Spiller, Dean Sutton and Sarah Wilson in the Belmont zone, and Russ Chipps, Doris Gulmans, and Benula Larsen in Milne’s Land-ing.

Voters elect their trustees at the same time as their municipal councils.

What do school trustees do?■ Trustees engage

their communities in building and maintain-ing a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations. They listen to their com-munities, guide the work of their school district and set plans, policies and the annual budget.

Reflecting the strength of local representation, boards report back to their communities on how students are doing: boards are directly accountable to the peo-ple they serve.

Over the next three weeks, the Goldstream News Gazette will look at the effect childhood cancer has on a family, from the devastating diagnosis to the financial and emotional hardships that follow. We also take a look at where families can get help, and the special relationships that form between health--care professionals and families.

TodayAlicen Chow and Coll Gordon were taken aback when their six-year-old daughter Islay Mei Gordon was diagnosed with leukemia a year ago. A year of medical procedures and tests followed.

Oct. 29Colwood’s Noreen Bekropolis had already experienced her own fight with cancer when her 13-year-old son was diagnosed with Hodgkins Lymphoma in 2011.

Nov. 5Anne Carrelli is a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital. She’s part of a team of nurses, doctors and social workers who treat children with cancer. “You can’t help but get invested in every family because kids are kids – and they just want to get better,” Carrelli says.

and families

Labour Day back-yard barbecue a year ago is one Alicen Chow will never for-get.

Her daughter, Islay Mei Gordon, was

playing with other children and fell from a tree. It didn’t appear to be a big deal at the time, but it would soon spiral the young fam-ily into a fight for life.

Soon after the fall, Islay began to limp and complain of a sore back. A trip to the doctor identi-fied nothing out of the ordinary.

As the weeks passed, Islay started getting more peculiar aches and pains. She developed an odd rash on her shoulder and the pains in her knees and back were continuing to get worse, and when she woke up in the morning she was often so stiff she could hardly get out of bed.

Finally after weeks consulting with doctors and other health professionals, it was discovered Islay had leukemia.

“[The diagnosis] was terrify-ing,” Chow said. “I think we prob-ably thought it was a death sen-tence at the time.”

Islay was rushed to B.C. Chil-dren’s Hospital in Vancouver to begin cancer treatment.

The first 24 hours were a whirl-wind of activity as Islay under-went treatment. For the family, it opened an unexpected new world of learning medical terminology and understanding the cancer.

“You quickly move from ‘I can’t believe this is happening’ to being inundated with information. You really don’t get a chance to catch your breath,” Chow said.

Islay faced the first days with a lot of courage for a six year old as doctors and nurses poked and prodded her in the early stages of the cancer treatment.

Chow was surprised how well Islay held up.

“The moment we got [at the hospital] they made it really easy. They treat children with remark-able respect,” Chow said. “They made it as easy as they could and she did really well.”

Anne Correlli, a pediatric oncol-ogy nurse at Victoria General Hos-pital, said family is so important when a child is dealing with can-cer.

The family is considered a part of the health team.

“We try to build that trust with the families so they trust them-selves and so when they are here and looking at numbers on the machine that we can reinforce with them it’s not just about the numbers but what they see in their child,” Correlli said.

After a few weeks at B.C. Chil-dren’s Hospital, Islay returned home and began taking day treat-ment at Victoria General Hospital.

Islay has been in remission since mid-January and returned to Grade 1 at Keating elementary school in September.

The hardship of dealing with cancer is not just the disease, but how it changes family life.

Chow said her family was lucky they didn’t have to spend more time in Vancouver, so they didn’t face a lot of financial hardships.

Still, there were incidents that came up where they had to ask groups like Make-a-Wish and the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents’ Association for help.

Chow, who is in the public ser-vice, now works two to three days a week at home. Her husband, Coll Gordon, has returned to his small law practice.

Chow said she doubts her fam-ily life will ever be the same.

“The biggest change is you develop this new normal, but it does quickly become part of your everyday routine.” she said.

“Everything changed. There’s no going back. The sense of invin-cibility is gone.”

Changes in Your Vision

You may find it disturbing if you are not seeing things as clearly and sharply as you used to, but as people get older, certain changes in their vision will occur. 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 difficult 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.

“It makes sense economically to invest in (preventative health care) and methods such as this to keep our employees work-ing,” Cambridge said.

“Then we don’t have to replace as many employees (when they’re sick). Therefore,

we have more money to spend on additional employees or resources for classrooms.”

Noon-time supervisor and crossing guard Cathy Gordon-Findley got her flu shot Oct. 17, saying it was something she needed to do given the nature of her work.

“I work with the young chil-

dren every day and they always have runny noses and things going on,” she said.

“So to protect my health and not give them anything from me, I thought it would be impor-tant to have a shot. To anybody out there, don’t be scared, get a shot, be prepared.”[email protected]

More than 10,000 fans from around the Capital Region took in the tournament, which saw doubleheaders played Oct. 11, 15 and 19. That encouragement was not lost on the players.

“Huge thanks for the support we’ve had here,” Team Canada captain Kyle Gilmour said after Sunday’s match. “I know we underperformed a bit, but it’s great to see the big crowd out again. Huge thanks to Langford and Victoria and the people here.”

Szpak said Langford has made itself a destination for sports tourism through building facili-ties such as Westhills Stadium.

“I think it’s very significant when you look at a community like Langford, and that Rugby

Canada has chosen to come here and we have actually made it possible for them to say ‘yes, this is a really great place for [us] to hang [our] hat.’”

While it’s home to the men’s, women’s and age-group national team programs, she said, local residents look at the various

Team Canadas as “our team(s).”The city has made various

improvements to the stadium, such as adding more seating this year, and is working toward cre-ating more parking to accommo-date special events such as the ARC, Szpak [email protected]

West Shore residents may notice the skies grow dark on Thursday (Oct. 23), during a par-tial eclipse of the sun.

The moon will cast a shadow on the Earth in the afternoon when it passes in front of the sun. A total solar eclipse will not be seen at any location on the planet, but the westernmost and northernmost areas of North America are considered by experts to be the best places to

view the partial eclipse.In Greater Victoria, the eclipse

at its peak will reach a maximum coverage of 55 per cent of the Earth.

Members of the Royal Astro-nomical Society of Canada Vic-toria Centre plan to have their telescopes and viewing equip-ment out on Mount Tolmie for the event.

On the West Shore, the moon will begin moving across the face

of the sun starting at about 1:32 p.m. when the sun is still high in the sky, and end at 4:19 p.m.

Solar eclipses should only be viewed through specially filtered telescopes or filtered glasses. Looking at solar eclipses with-out this equipment could result in serious eye damage.

Royal Astronomical Society members will use the proper fil-ters when viewing the [email protected]

The solar eclipse that will happen tomorrow (Oct 23) afternoon won’t throw the West Shore into darkness as this one might, but the change in light may still be noticeable.Thinkstock

Q: I am a woman in my 80s. I am still in relatively good health and I live in my own home. When the time comes I would like to be allowed to die in my own home. What do I need to do to assure this can happen.

A: Dying persons have the right to choose to die at home, surrounded by their loved ones. Individuals and their families, whose choice is a planned home death, can expect that their wishes will be respected, and they will receive support and coordinated care.

Decision making for a planned home death should be a collaborative process giving primary consideration to what is in the best interest of the patient and family and involving the patient/famiy, family physician, nursing personnel and others as needed.

MAKE A PLAN with your family physician so you are clear about what will happen and family/friends will know what to do at time of death.

MAKE PREARRANGEMENTS with a funeral home. Such arrangements will normally involve selecting the funeral home and making plans with the funeral director for transportation of the deceased after death and options available for � nal disposition.

COMMUNICATE in writing your plan to family, friends and others such as your spiritual advisor so they may support your decisions and respect your wishes.

Complete information can be obtained by requesting a copy of “Joint Protocol for Expected / Planned Home Deaths in British Columbia”. Included in the Protocol is a form “Noti� cation of Expected Death in the Home” that is to be completed by the physician with a copy being forwarded to the funeral home.

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.

Andrea Paquette shows off some of the iBrid Wallets that help fund the Bipolar Babe Society, which she founded in 2009.

New cellphone productserves various functions

Arnold LimNews staff

Want to support mental health pro-grams and plant trees? There’s an iBrid for that.

Developed by West Shore residents Sami Sayeed and Chris Cordray, a new iPhone case and wallet combina-tion dubbed the iBrid is helping raise awareness and fund local mental health programs, and planting trees in Africa, with proceeds from every unit sold going directly to the cause.

“We have close family members suffering from bipolar disorder and to know we have been able to con-tribute to this cause makes us very happy,” said Sayeed, who has roots in Africa.

“It is huge for us from the get-go, no matter how successful our prod-uct was going to be, we wanted to make sure we would give back to the community one way or another.”

Sayeed’s girlfriend Andrea Paquette is executive director of the Bipolar Babe Society, the iBrid’s local funding partner alongside Aid for Africa, an international non-profit.

“I think it’s really important for business and people who are entre-preneurs to reach out to a cause and a charity and to something they believe in,” Paquette said.

“It means they care.”Twenty per cent of the sale of

every case – they sell for $49.99 – goes to the Bipolar Babe Society and facilitates the planting of one tree in Africa. Funds go to educating youth in schools and communities including in the West Shore, funding support groups for both youth and adults as well as helping raise awareness and “stomping out stigma” about mental health.

“It is about people, not about prod-uct,” Paquette said. “ And I believe when people get passionate about a certain cause, they want to make a difference.”

The couple recently started an Indiegogo campaign for the iBrid, which holds credit cards and cash like a wallet, but has a leather-bound case to protect an iPhone.

Sayeed said the iBrid is worth sup-porting not only because it’s a quality product, but helping a quality cause.

“It’s important to support (Bipolar Babe) and the environment, so it’s a big deal for us. That is not going to stop; as long as our wallet stays intact we will continue,” he said.

“To help support the countless hours (Paquette) spends on mental health education and support, that makes this whole process so much sweeter.”

For more information or to help fund their Indiegogo campaign, visit ibridwallet.com or bipolarbabe.com.

Social welfare causes are among those benefiting from sales of the iBrid

Notice of City of Colwood 2013 Annual Report



After a ceremonial groundbreaking today (Oct. 22), the backhoes hit the ground for real tomor-row, officially starting construction on the Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue’s new B.C. training headquarters.

Royal Canadian Marine Search and Rescue is building the new facility on property it purchased on the other side of the East Sooke Peninsula, near Anderson Cove.

“It’s a spectacular property on the Sooke Basin,” said Rob Duffus, the organization’s communica-tions director. “It’s going to be perfect for our slow boat training and to have access to Juan de Fuca Strait for the big stuff.”

The new building will also provide a new per-manent space for the fast rescue craft simulator currently located in a hangar at the Search and Rescue base in James Bay. The simulator can cre-ate fog, darkness, bad weather and marine traffic to allow crews to train in a safe environment.

There are 40 different stations around the prov-ince, including five around Greater Victoria that have about 150 volunteers. All of the stations cur-rently do their own training, a scenario that isn’t always the most efficient, Duffus said.

“To be able to have all our members here and have standardized training and have access to the simulator will be great, as will having a purpose-built building.”

Search and Rescue volunteer crews log more than 8,000 hours of training annually on the water, in the classroom and on the simulator.

The hoped-for completion of the project is six months, but Duffus said it depends how much help the group can get from members along the way. “We’ve done enough fundraising to get going, but we’re always asking for help and we appreciate the community support we receive.”

& As Portfolio Managers we have conducted countless reviews on prospective client portfolios. We have seen many different investment strategies but duplication of holdings is one of the biggest themes, yet very difficult for the average investor to identify. We see this primarily in mutual fund portfolios. Many investors, and even advisors, feel having different objectives equates to an increase in diversification. Yet you have to ask, ‘how are these two investments the same?’

Overlap is particularly common within mutual funds. One fund may be branded as a Canadian income fund and another as Canadian dividend fund, duplication of holdings can be significant. Case in point, let’s look at the RBC Canadian Equity Class A fund and RBC Canadian Dividend Class A fund. As of September 30, 2014, of the 15 top holdings, 13 were identical, yet they are two distinct mandates. To be fair we looked at several of the largest Canadian equity and dividend funds and the findings were very similar. We were recently asked to help a prospective client uncover the embedded fees within his mutual fund portfolio. In addition to averaging almost 2.5% in fees, we found that out of the nine mutual funds held, seven were Canadian focused with an extremely high correlation. This goes against the cardinal rule in that you don’t want to have all your eggs in one basket or in this case, too much of your investment portfolio concentrated in a few investments.

Owning multiple funds may not result in as much diversification as investors think. Holding multiple funds can sacrifice diversification and contribute to ‘diworsification’, especially if the overlap is significant over a long period of time. In addition, one manager may have a competing outlook, therefore resulting in part of your portfolio ‘turning left and the other turning right’.

So how can investor mitigate the risk of duplication of holdings or ‘diworsification’?

Don’t invest in too many funds in the same fund company. Look at the top holdings within each fund every quarter. Many investors are surprised at how many of the top fund holdings are the same, especially in Canada.

Develop a strategy to reduce the risk of duplication and ‘diworsification’. For accounts greater than $250,000, we use a strategy of investing in individual equities within Canada and the U.S., Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) for exposure to equities outside Canada and the U.S. and a combination of ETFs and Mutual Funds for exposure to domestic and foreign fixed income. A classic example of duplication is within the Canadian financials sector. Most, if not all, Canadian mutual funds will hold the same Canadian banks. We believe that it is better to own the Canadian banks directly to reduce fees, reduce the risk of duplication and keep a close eye on our sector weightings. The value of this strategy became apparent in the recent energy sell off. We knew what our energy weighting was within each client portfolio and were able to make portfolio decisions, based on our clients’ risk tolerance and investment objectives. Imagine holding three to five Canadian equity funds? After a 20% decline in the energy sector, many investors were unaware of how they were affected.

There will likely be some duplication within portfolios but this should always be top of mind during the portfolio construction and management process.

Hunting mushrooms with the massesSecond annual search to identify and count species in MetchosinAngela CowanNews Gazette staff

Amateur mycologists and nature lovers will soon don their gum-boots and woollies and dive into the Metchosin wilderness in search of as many mushrooms as they can find.

The Myco-Blitz, set for Saturday, Nov. 8, is a spin-off of Metchosin’s annual Bio-Blitz, which counts as many species as possible - plant, ani-mal and insect - over one day in the spring.

The Myco-Blitz was started to take advantage of the abundance of the fungi that emerge in the fall, as a lot of species aren’t around in the spring when the main counting occurred. Last year’s inaugural mushroom hunt yielded about 200 different spe-cies over the course of a single day, said Metchosin Coun. Moralea Milne, with nearly 80 people joining in on the search.

“Mushrooms are very popular,” she said. “The most common ques-

tion is ‘Can I eat that?’” Milne co-founded the Talk and

Walk series and the spring Bio-Blitz event with Andy MacKinnon and Kem Luther. She said the outdoor adventures “increase the steward-ship ethic in Metchosin.”

“The more people understand about the wild species, the more people want to protect them.”

The Bio-Blitz has helped identify 1,600 species across the animal and plant kingdoms over the past four years, Milne added. “It’s a bit of a new way to think about our wild neighbours,” she said of the incred-ible abundance found in Metchosin.

To further fungal education,

renowned mycologist Britt Bunyard will be giving a talk on the Friday pre-vious (Nov. 7), beginning at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of the Metcho-sin Municipal Hall.

Bunyard, editor and publisher of Fungi Magazine, will share bizarre tales and stunning images of mush-rooms and other fungi.

Everyone with an interest in fungi is welcome to join the Myco-Blitz, as no experience or mushroom exper-tise is necessary, Milne said.

The group will meet at 10 a.m. Nov. 8, in the parking lot in front of the municipal hall. For more information, visit metchosinbiodiversity.com.

“Hands up.” That famous command is attributed to Bill Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery, at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910.

A more genteel, and of course perfectly legal, trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act, and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders.

Students of B.C. history will know that while Bill Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land.

Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way.

“I am pleased that Canadian

Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agreement regarding the disputed ownership

and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature.

“The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use

when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions, and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.”

These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. And Coleman’s statement suggests that the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways.

Given the Wild West ways of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book

Steel Rails and Iron Men (Whitecap Books, 1990).

Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail freight service.

A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union.

Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie.

Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth Lieutenant Governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University.

He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in.

One last holdup on railway tracks

All-candidates meetings need fresher format

With the nomination lists now complete and the candidates out on the hustings talking to people around the West Shore, the 2014 election campaign is in full swing.

One of the ways that voters have traditionally gained a better understanding of the views of their candidates for mayor, council or school board is by attending all-candidates meetings.

On the surface, such gatherings appear to offer a reasonable vehicle for people seeking office to communicate their platform or how they might change things if elected, and for voters looking for one last piece of information to help them make their choices.

In reality, such meetings tend to offer little in the way of meat for people to chew on. It’s not so much due to a lack of good questions asked of the candidates, but more due to the format they usually adhere to. The limited time frame is a frequent enemy of a good all-candidates meeting, especially in municipalities or jurisidictions where a large number of candidates are on the ballot.

Too often, by the time two hours or so is expired, candidates have barely got a chance to describe themselves and what they would hope to accomplish in office.

So what is a well-meaning community group or business organization to do? The answer isn’t exactly clear, but voters are not really being served by using the same old formats.

As of the Gazette’s press deadline, a handful of all-candidates meetings had been scheduled for the West Shore, with more to come once venues are nailed down. Our hope is that the people and groups running these information sessions find a way to make them meaningful to the voters who take time out of their busy evenings to attend them.

At the end of the day, however, the onus falls on the candidates. You want to get elected? Get out and do the legwork of meeting people and telling your story on your own time.

Sometimes one has to wonder if members of Colwood Council live in La La Land permanently or only at certain times of the year.

Perhaps that’s harsh, but when their reason for not including the non binding question regarding amalgamation on the November ballot is because not enough people were interested in being part of a “working group” to figure out the question...well, I’d say the shoe fits.

Why would anyone be interested in being part of a working group to figure out a question that has already been clearly articulated?? No one is interested in deliberately wasting their time. Council members should give their collective heads a shake.

The question proposed by the Amalgamation group is simple and clear, why not use it? People just want to have a say in the matter and not be part of yet another study group.

What adds insult to injury is Councillor Luken’s absurd statement: “It’s important Colwood knows we were proactive.” Really?? Being proactive implies action; not hiding behind political bafflegarb.

Island Savings member:keep credit union local

As a business owner and 15-year member, I urge all Island Savings Credit Union members to carefully consider their proposed merger vote with First West Credit Union.

My main concern is losing local control of our credit union. We will no longer have a main office and decisions will be

made at First West’s head office in Langley.

At present we have 100 per cent representation on the board but under the new structure we will have 20 per cent of the seats on the board for the first two years, after which representation will be based on total membership and assets.

As credit union members, we want our deposits available to other members of our community. Bigger is not always better.

I believe the board of directors has not proven the need for the proposed merger, even to some of its fellow board members, since the vote among board members was not unanimous.

The board has not presented a business case to show how the merger will be beneficial to members.

I will not be voting in favour of this proposal and I ask that all Island Savings members come to the aid of our credit union and vote no.

Nuclear-free zones worked for Kiwis

Re: Oil protest a slippery slope for cities (B.C. Views, Oct. 7).

Tom Fletcher took a snide swipe at local politicians and municipal councils that declared their jurisdictions to be nuclear weapons-free zones. “Did they really think we’re that stupid?” he asks.

Fletcher should know better than to denigrate the power of grassroots democracy and nowhere is it more powerful than at the local level. This was unquestionably

demonstrated in New Zealand where, in the early 1980s, a dictatorial conservative prime minister named Rob Muldoon ignored the overwhelming public opinion that New Zealand should not host nuclear-powered or nuclear-armed foreign warships.

Ignoring the ever-louder public protest, Muldoon continued to invite U.S. warships to visit New Zealand harbours and used his majority National government to run rough-shod over the will of the people.

Kiwis turned to their local governments. Municipality after municipality voted to become nuclear free and they posted signs on their municipal boundaries.

Labour Party leader David Lange was no fool. He promised that if his party became the government, he would ban all nuclear-equipped warships from New Zealand waters.

In 1984 Labour swept into power in a landslide and followed through on Lange’s promise. New Zealand is a small peaceful country in the South Pacific but Kiwis stood up against the superpower bully tactics of Ronald Reagan and the U.S. military.

New Zealand took a beating economically but stood by its principle of opposing Cold War super-power nuclear alliances. To this day New Zealand proudly remains nuclear-free and an example to the world. The strategy may have been less successful in B.C. but there is nothing stupid about the effort nor the intent of the passionate British Columbians who tried.

Large grocery stores are the only retailers eligible to add a separate liquor store under

new B.C. government regulations set to take effect in the spring of 2015.

To qualify for a space to sell alcoholic beverages, stores must have at least 929

square metres (10,000 square feet) of floor space and groceries as 75 per cent of their sales, Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced recently.

The restrictions are

designed to exclude general merchandise and “big box” stores as well as convenience stores, according to a ministry statement. Eligible stores will be permitted to create a “store within a store” with separate cash registers and staff, or “co-brand” with liquor stores outside their existing facilities.

The government plans to maintain its cap on the number of liquor stores, with 670 private stores now in operation. Liquor stores are currently restricted to relocating no more than five km from their original location, but that restriction is being lifted so a licence can be sold or moved anywhere in the province.

That would allow existing government or private liquor stores to relocate in partnership with grocery stores, while maintaining the regulation that no two liquor outlets can be closer together than one kilometre.

Licensing to sell B.C. wine directly from grocery store shelves, a second recommendation from a province-wide consultation on liquor policy reform conducted earlier this year, is still being studied.

Anton said the system “strikes a balance of added convenience for consumers and support for B.C.’s business sector, while at the same time respecting health and public safety considerations.”

Operatic tenor Ken Lavigne has performed all around the world and for notable people such as Oprah Winfrey, Prince Charles and David Foster.

In 2009, he checked an item off his bucket list when he performed at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Lavi-gne raised $250,000 to rent the iconic hall, where he performed for 1,200 people.

“I just had fallen in love with the space and the idea of becoming part of the great history of performances gone on at Carnegie Hall,” said Lavigne.

His new goal is to rent and per-form at the iconic Sydney Opera House in Australia next fall.

“I remember at the end of the Carnegie Hall experience saying I’m never doing this again,” Lavigne said, adding all of the business and paperwork involved was outside his area of expertise. However, this has not stopped him from pursuing the Sydney Opera House.

“I realized if I did it once,

maybe I can do it again,” he said. “I realized in this journey, maybe it’s not supposed to be easy. Maybe you’re supposed to have to work as hard as you possibly can and harder still to put the effort in to make your dreams come true.”

Since accomplishing his Carn-egie Hall dream, Lavigne has toured North America singing and talking about his journey.

“It’s a concert with a few per-sonal vignettes of my story and what I’ve done,” he said. “There were many twists and turns and

unexpected events. And I found that when I tell the story, I’m not just reliving it for myself, but I think it’s an inspiring journey for many people who maybe were a little too afraid to take things on them-selves.”

Besides inspiring the public, Lavigne has also had an influence on his own children. His two eldest children of three, Grace, 10, and Lucy, 9, are also singers and will be fea-tured on Lavigne’s upcom-ing Christmas album, Com-fort and Joy.

“They put me to shame, because I step up to the micro-phone and I’m over-prepared and…I’m hypercritical, and they just come up and sing on the mark and they just nail it. It’s incredible.”

Comfort and Joy comes out Nov. 1. Lavigne will be perform-ing songs from his new album on Dec. 8 at the Royal Theatre.

The show is at 7:30 p.m. and tickets can be purchased at rmts.bc.ca/events/ken-lavigne-royal-theatre.editor@goldstrea,gazette.com

TOWNOFVIEWROYALNOTICEOFELECTIONBYVOTING



There was a inspiring show of camaraderie and sportsmanship between opponents on the field at Westhills Stadium on Sunday evening.

After the Argentina Jaguars celebrated their lat-est tournament win at the IRB Americas Rugby Championship in Langford, players were trading everything from their shorts and game jerseys to their shoes with their Canadian counterparts, whom they had just beat 39-9.

Canada A’s team captain, flanker Kyle Gilmour, appeared more frustrated with his team’s bronze medal finish in the four-team round robin event.

“Obviously we’re not pleased with our results in the tournament, “ he said.

Canada, 20-6 winners over Uruguay in their opener Oct. 11, was coming off a 16-3 loss to the USA Selects last week and hoped for a better per-formance against the defending champion Jag-uars. The host team held the Jaguars to a 13-9 lead after one half, but penalty trouble in the second, including a pair of yellow cards that sent men to the sin bin, helped seal Canada’s demise.

“I was really pleased with how the guys pre-pared for this game and how they turned it around for the first 40 (minutes) after the disappointment on Wednesday,” Gilmour said. “I think we showed a lot in the first half … We were looking pretty good until we were down to 13 men.”

Canada opened the scoring about two minutes in with the first of three Gord McRorie penalty kicks in the half. The team carried the play for much of the period, but gave up a Jaguar try on a giveaway 10 minutes in and allowed the champs to kick easy points twice after penalty calls in the scrum.

The Jaguars, Argentina’s second team, scored a try barely two minutes into the second half, mak-ing the most of a sloppy tackle by Canada to go up 20-9.

Then the hosts received two yellow cards in fairly short order that saw them play shorthanded for an extended period of time, a situation that made it tough to play catchup, Gilmour said.

The champs scored a pushover try at the 52-minute mark, then added another just over six minutes later, when a blown lineout by Canada led to an easy steal by Joaquin Paz, who raced in to put the ball down under the posts. With the con-vert, it was 32-9 Argentina.

Speedy wing Sean Duke, a University of Victo-ria Vikes player and national teamer who was an injury replacement for the Argentina game, agreed with Gilmour there were some positives to go

along with the miscues.“The first half started out all right, our structure

was there and possession wise we were all right,” he said. “What really let us down in the second half were those two yellow cards, obviously. And the way the Argentinians play is an offload game (passing off before a tackle is completed) and we failed to pick up a few runners and that’s what caused a lot of breaks (for the Jaguars).”

Getting a chance to play some international rugby at home is a great opportunity for develop-ing players, Duke added.

“It gives us a level of play we’re not used to in Canada. We have the (Canadian Rugby Champion-ship series), the premier level of rugby within the country. But to be able to play the Jaguars and the Uruguay side and the USA developmental team, that’s a huge step up and it’s given guys really, really valuable experience.”

The Oct. 20 IRB world rankings for countries participating in the ARC showed Argentina at No. 10, with Canada, USA and Uruguay sitting at 17, 18 and 19, respectively. It marked no change from the previous week.

Some of the players suiting up for Canada at the ARC will be part of the touring team heading to Europe later this month for a series of interna-tionals.

Canada will face a Rugby Football Union Cham-pionship XV side in Worcester, England on Nov. 2; Namibia in Colwyn Bay, Wales on Nov. 7; Samoa in Vannes, France on Nov. 14 and Romania in Bucha-rest on Nov. 22.

Scutt captures PGA of B.C. Player of the Year honour


Winning the Professional Golfers Association of B.C.’s apprentice of the year award in 2013, based on voting from his peers, felt good for Gordy Scutt.

Now the Olympic View assistant pro knows his performance on the course can do the job as well. Last week he was honoured as the PGA of B.C.’s 2014 Player of the Year for capturing the Order of Merit as top money winner in B.C. events among member pros this season.

“With some of the quality players we have in B.C., it’s pretty good to say you were able to do something like this,” Scutt said.

His come-from-behind,

extra-hole win at the PGA of B.C. championship in late August at Point Grey in Vancouver gave him a major boost on the Order, as he pocketed $6,000.

“Overall, I would say with the way it ended, it was probably one of my best years,” he said.

Even after what he considered a slow start to the season, when he wasn’t playing as well as he has done, he was able to turn things around and challenge for a win every time out, he added. “My goal is always to be in contention.”

He won multiple times on the Vancouver Island pro tour and finished second in the final event of the season last month.

A sixth-place finish at a prestigious Canada Cup event in Victoriaville, Que. at the beginning of August set the stage for Point Grey, he said. Fellow B.C. pro Oliver Tubb from Seymour

Creek Golf Club in North Vancouver won that event by seven strokes ahead of Summerland’s Greg Machtaler, while Bryn Parry of Seymour Creek was third. All three finished behind Scutt in the Order of Merit standings.

Scutt’s season total of $8,373 in winnings from PGA of B.C. events and outside tournaments was a slim $113 better than Olympic View head pro Kevin Maxwell, who finished second.

“To be honest, I kind of didn’t really know where I stood until about three weeks in, when I started to look at the Order of Merit (standings),” Scutt said.

Maxwell, who led the B.C. PGA Championship after the first round, but admitted to giving away valuable strokes on the second day to finish third, gave kudos to his assistant pro.

“It’s fantastic and it’s great for the club,” Maxwell said.

“We’re very proud of Gordy and it is fitting that our B.C. PGA champion is also the player of the year.”

The good-spirited competition between players through the season helps keep things fresh for club pros on tour and at their home clubs, Maxwell added.

“We always have a good time with it,” he said of his relationship with Scutt. “Whether it’s on the teaching tee or in tournament play, we respect each other’s abilities. It makes it fun to come to work.”

Scutt, a Spectrum alumnus who spent some time playing pro tours in the U.S. after competing for the University of Washington Huskies, is in his third year at Olympic View. He’s working on his class A teaching pro ticket and hopes to attain the designation next [email protected]

The Inside Ride comes to City Centre Park in Langford on Sunday (Oct. 26), with colour-ful costumes, blaring music and enthusiastic riders pedalling their hearts out to raise money for the B.C. Childhood Cancer Parents Association.

The event is part of a Canada-wide indoor cycling fundraiser put on by the Coast to Coast Against Cancer Foundation. One hundred per cent of funds raised will go to the Parents Associa-tion’s Island-based Family Sup-port Program.

“Our goal this year is $20,000,” says event organizer Susan Kerr, who’s also the association’s Van-couver Island liaison.

Besides the Family Support Program, which supplies emer-gency financial aid, social and emotional support and practi-cal assistance to children with

cancer and their families, funds will go toward the new pediatric oncology wing at Victoria Gen-eral Hospital.

“Supporting families both financially and emotionally is crucial,” says Julia Taylor, whose eight-year-old son, René, has been in active treatment for four years. “By lowering the par-ents’ stress level, you’re allowing the fabric of the family to stay together.”

Taylor and her family’s team The Spinsationals have been involved with the Inside Ride since its inception in 2012. “It’s a really simple way to make a huge difference,” she says of the event.

This is the third year that Coast to Coast has partnered with BCCCPA to host the Inside Ride. The hour-long relay, which kicks off at 10:30 a.m., challenges each member of the teams to ride for 10 minutes before pass-ing the pedals over to the next

person.“Everybody thinks you have

to ride as hard as you can and as fast as you can, but that’s not the case,” says Kerr. “You have five people who are waiting for you, so your team is danc-ing around you as you’re riding and there’s conga lines snaking everywhere.”

Coast to Coast brings their own DJ, blasting high energy music from wall to wall. At the end of the ride, prizes are given out for best costumes, the most mileage and the best fundraiser team. “It’s such a fun event,” Kerr says.

Teams of four to six people are still welcome to register for the ride, being hosted for the first time at City Centre Park to accommodate a larger turnout.

To sign up a team or donate visit victoria.theinsideride.com, or for more information, email Kerr at [email protected]@goldstreamgazette.com

Romance won’t be the only moti-vation on Oct. 22, when B.C. restau-rants and communities turn off the lights and allow customers to dine by the light of a flickering flame as part of B.C. Hydro’s Candlelight Din-ner initiative.

“It’s the right thing to do. It’s mak-ing awareness of how much you can conserve,” said Westin Bear Moun-tain Resort executive chef Mark Wad-sworth. “It’s a bit of a fun night. It’s a little bit dark, it’s nice, intimate and romantic (with the lights off at the restaurant).”

Bella Montagne at the Westin will see a slightly minimalist, but tasty menu on Oct. 22, with free dessert

to end the evening, Wadsworth said.He’s been part of similar initiatives

at restaurants from Whistler and Van-couver to the United Kingdom and said he’s happy to be involved in a program that is all about reducing carbon footprint.

Langford restaurants taking part in the program include Metropoli-tan Bar and Grill on McCallum Road, the Galloping Goose Grille at Lang-ford Lanes and The Noodle Box on Phipps Road.

October is Canadian Library Month and this year the Greater Victo-ria Public Library is cel-ebrating the many ways our libraries inspire us.

The library has plenty of reason to cele-brate; according to the latest Canadian Urban Libraries Council sta-tistics, its circulation ranks as the highest per capita in Canada.

GVPL also had program attendance of more than 70,000 people last year.

“Our goal is to have something to inspire everyone,” said Mau-reen Sawa, GVPL CEO.

“Whether you visit us in person or online – to borrow books, read the newspaper, download music, attend a family storytime or get com-

puter help – our librar-ies provide our com-munity with a sense of belonging and encour-age the joy of learning and discovery.”

GVPL is celebrating with events through-out the month and by shining the spotlight on their staff, which Sawa describes as, “the heart and soul of the library.”

Library regulars will

likely recognize a face or two on the GVPL blog this month, gvplblog.tumblr.com, where many team members are being featured.

Join in the celebra-tions by attending one of GVPL’s special pro-grams, including:

• Superheros at the Library: Listen to sto-ries and have your superhero questions

answered by one or more of your favou-rite superhero charac-ters. Various branches, dates and times at gvpl.ca

• Harvest Celebra-tion: Join in the celebra-tion of the Victoria Seed Library’s first year with music, seeds, apple cider and fun. Oct. 25 from 1 to 4 p.m. in the Central Branch’s court-

yard at 735 Broughton St.

• Traditional Japa-nese music and instru-ments: International guest musicians from Vancouver’s Chrysan-themums and Maple Leaves festival and composers from Van-couver will be perform-ing and speaking. Oct. 24 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. at the Central Branch at 735 Broughton St.

• Musical Storytime for school-aged kids: Join Brenda from the Victoria Conservatory of Music to explore the fun of music-making and storytelling in an action-packed session designed to introduce music concepts. Reg-ister at gvpl.ca or call the library for more information. Registra-tion begins September 2. At the Juan de Fuca branch, 1759 Island Highway, Oct. 24, 2:30 to 3:15 p.m.

• Getting started with computers and ereaders. Free one-on-one sessions are avail-able most days. Regis-ter online at gvpl.ca/programs-events/com-puter-classes/.

Notice is hereby given that the subject property, CFO file Number: 2014-2387, is subject to forfeiture under Part 3.1 of the CFA and will be forfeited to the Government for

disposal by the Director of Civil Forfeiture unless a notice of dispute is filed with the Director within the time period set out in this notice. A notice of dispute may be filed by a person who claims to have an interest in all or part of the subject property. The notice of dispute must be filed within 60 days of the date upon which this notice is first published. You may obtain the form of a notice of dispute, which must meet the requirements of Section 14.07 of the CFA, from the Director’s website, accessible online at www.pssg.gov.bc.ca/civilforfeiture. The notice must be in writing, signed in the presence of a lawyer or notary public, and mailed to the Civil Forfeiture Office, PO Box 9234 Station Provincial Government, Victoria, B.C. V8W 9J1.

Daniel PalmerNews staff

In Bill Gaston’s latest collection of short sto-ries, Juliet Was a Sur-prise, a beautiful, French weather girl wrestles with the sudden death of her brutish husband, a high-powered lawyer with a fatal desire to tell – and be – the punch-line.

But ask Gaston how he so convincingly crawls into the mind of the French ex-pat and her intuitive yet witty observations of Ameri-can life, and the author’s humour shines through.

“You haven’t seen me, obviously,” he jokes wryly. “I liken it to method acting, when you try to not just look at the outer trappings of someone, but try as best as you can to climb inside and see the world through their eyes. When I’m brave, I’ll take on a female persona with the belief that we’re more alike than we’re different as human beings. We have the same desires and frail-ties and insecurities.”

Gaston has made a career out of exploring the darkness in everyday characters, and his lat-est acclamation to the short list of the Governor General’s Liter-ary Awards proves he’s a master

at his craft.The University of Victoria writ-

ing professor is quick to point out the success of others who have come through the respected program: former student Arno Kopecky, shortlisted in non-fic-tion for The Oil Man and the Sea: Navigating the Northern Gateway (Douglas & McIntyre); and poets Arleen Paré and Garth Martens, both graduates of UVic’s poetry program.

“For our population, Victo-

ria really is punching above its weight this year. I think we have more short listed peo-ple than Toronto,” Gas-ton says.

It’s not the first time Gaston has been on the GG’s literary prize list, but he says it’s always “a thrill” to be nomi-nated for his work.

His advice to aspir-ing authors and his stu-dents at UVic remains the same as it did when he began writ-ing: “To look inside, delve deep for truly felt experience rather than to mimic TV-land sto-ries. People today are more attached to the screen and get a lot of their ideas from there, but often the trap can be a superficial spec-tacle, as opposed to something authentic

and felt. We’re more alike than we are different, and if you can access your own dark places, chances are that will resonate with everybody.”

The winners of the 2014 Gov-ernor General Literary Awards will be announced Nov. 18 with the winning author in each of seven categories taking home $25,000. For a full list of nomi-nees, see ggbooks.canadacoun-cil.ca.
