Rugby event a feather in city’s cap ‘Great energy’ put out by packed houses: Langford councillor Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

many receive flu shots elsewhere, such as from their doctor, at a walk-in clinic, at public 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.

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 Inside and there’s been a great energy,” n Team Canada she said of the IRB players reflect on Americas Rugby ARC experience Championship, a Page A25 four-team round robin that wrapped up Sunday. Despite a second straight Canadian loss at the event – 39-9 to the perennial tournament champion Argentina Jaguars – that left the home team with the bronze medal, Szpak maintained her enthusiasm for Rugby Canada and Langford’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 having the (Rugby) Centre for Excellence, is just awe-inspiring for many people in Langford. And we’re very, very proud of the team.”

School district mindful of flu season Teachers, support staff, administrators take part in immunization program Arnold Lim News Gazette staff

It’s getting close to flu season. As such, Sooke School District employees 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 investment 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 district’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,

Trustee hopefuls off and running Often pushed to the background with the focus on municipal elections are the candidates for school trustee. In the Sooke School District, 18 people are running for one of seven trustee positions on the board of education. They’re separated into two zones: Belmont, 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, current board chair Wendy Hobbs, Denise Riley and Dianna Seaton

from the Belmont zone; and Bob Phillips, Neil Poirier and Margot Swinburnson representing Milne’s Landing are all running. Joining them in the race to serve for four years are Stephanie Longstaff, Melissa McConnell, Ravi Parmar, Jan Peever, Timothy Rud, Elizabeth Spiller, Dean Sutton and Sarah Wilson in the Belmont zone, and Russ Chipps, Doris Gulmans, and Benula Larsen in Milne’s Landing. Voters elect their trustees at the same time as their municipal councils.

What do school trustees do?

■ Trustees engage their communities in building and maintaining a school system that reflects local priorities, values and expectations. They listen to their communities, 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 people they serve. – B.C.

and families 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.

Today Alicen 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.

Nov. 5 Anne 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.

Labour Day backyard barbecue a year ago is one Alicen Chow will never forget. 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 family into a fight for life. Soon after the fall, Islay began to limp and complain of a sore back. A trip to the doctor identified 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 terrifying,” Chow said. “I think we probably thought it was a death sentence at the time.” Islay was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver to begin cancer treatment.

The first 24 hours were a whirlwind of activity as Islay underwent 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 remarkable respect,” Chow said. “They made it as easy as they could and she did really well.” Anne Correlli, a pediatric oncology nurse at Victoria General Hospital, said family is so important when a child is dealing with cancer. The family is considered a part of the health team. “We try to build that trust with the families so they trust themselves 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. Children’s Hospital, Islay returned home and began taking day treatment 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 service, 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 family 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 invincibility is gone.” editor@goldtreamgazette.com

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.

Rugby players appreciate support Continued from Page A1

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 facilities 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 creating more parking to accommodate special events such as the ARC, Szpak said. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Flu shot part of job for crossing guard Continued from Page A1

“It makes sense economically to invest in (preventative health care) and methods such as this to keep our employees working,” 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 GordonFindley 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 important to have a shot. To anybody out there, don’t be scared, get a shot, be prepared.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Ask the Expert

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.

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.

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 final 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 “Notification 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 (jeevans@arbormemorial.com) your questions and/or concerns about anything and everything to do with before and after death procedures, legalities, traditions etc. and I will do my best to answer them.

Such solar events are rather rare on astronomical scale West Shore residents may notice the skies grow dark on Thursday (Oct. 23), during a partial 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 Astronomical Society of Canada Victoria Centre plan to have their telescopes and viewing equipment 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 without this equipment could result in serious eye damage. Royal Astronomical Society members will use the proper filters when viewing the eclipse. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

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

New cellphone product serves various functions Social welfare causes are among those benefiting from sales of the iBrid Arnold Lim News staff

Want to support mental health programs 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 combination 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 contribute 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 product 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 entrepreneurs 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 product,” 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 supporting 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. alim@goldstreamgazette.com

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 communications 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 permanent space for the fast rescue craft simulator currently located in a hangar at the Search and Rescue base in James Bay. The simulator can create fog, darkness, bad weather and marine traffic to allow crews to train in a safe environment. There are 40 different stations around the province, including five around Greater Victoria that have about 150 volunteers. All of the stations currently 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 purposebuilt 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.” editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Top 5 common portfolio mistakes we continue to see in 2014 - #3 Duplication of Holdings

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.

Collective fun was had at inaugural Black & White Ball

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 masses Second annual search to identify and count species in Metchosin Angela Cowan News Gazette staff

West Shore

Amateur mycologists and nature lovers will soon don their gumboots 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, animal 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 species 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-

Milne holds a small assortment of mushrooms, including the tiny Strobilurus trullisatus, which only grow on the cones of Douglas fir trees, and the common puffball in front. 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 stewardship 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 incredible abundance found in Metchosin. To further fungal education,

renowned mycologist Britt Bunyard will be giving a talk on the Friday previous (Nov. 7), beginning at 6 p.m. in the council chambers of the Metchosin Municipal Hall. Bunyard, editor and publisher of Fungi Magazine, will share bizarre tales and stunning images of mushrooms and other fungi. Everyone with an interest in fungi is welcome to join the Myco-Blitz, as no experience or mushroom expertise 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. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

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 allcandidates 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. What do you think?

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 mineralrich 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.

Colwood should include question from Amalgamation group on Nov. 15 ballot 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. Don Skerik Duncan

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 nucleararmed 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 nuclearequipped 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. Chris Conway Invermere

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

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 provincewide 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.” editor@goldstream gazette.com

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. Lavigne 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 perform 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,

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 themselves.” 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 featured on Lavigne’s upcoming Christmas album, Comfort and Joy. “They put me to shame, because I step up to the microphone 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 performing 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-lavigneroyal-theatre. editor@goldstrea,gazette.com

ARC gives Canadian players more higher-level experience

Photos from the 2014 IRB Americas Rugby Championship match Sunday between Canada and Argentina (clockwise from left): Canada scrum half Gord McRorie gets horizontal to make a pass; prop James Smith tries to deliver a pass before being taken down by Argentina’s Dan Isaak (front) and an unidentified Jaguar player, and Argentina’s Facunda Barrea gets dragged to the turf by Canada’s Nick Blevins and a teammate. The Jaguars won 39-9 to leave Canada at 1-2 overall.

Some will join Team Canada for international rugby tour Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

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 latest 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 performance against the defending champion Jaguars. 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 prepared 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, making 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 convert, it was 32-9 Argentina. Speedy wing Sean Duke, a University of Victoria 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 developing players, Duke added. “It gives us a level of play we’re not used to in Canada. We have the (Canadian Rugby Championship 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 internationals. Canada will face a Rugby Football Union Championship 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 Bucharest on Nov. 22. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Scutt captures PGA of B.C. Player of the Year honour Olympic View pros finish 1-2 on golf association’s 2014 Order of Merit Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

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, Gordy Scutt, assistant pro at Olympic View Golf Club, lines up a chip shot at the course. Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

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

City of Colwood

Notice of Public Hearing NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Council of the City of Colwood will hold a meeting to afford the public an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters in the following proposed bylaws at a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS at CITY HALL, 3300 Wishart Road, Colwood, B.C. on Thursday, October 30, 2014 at 6:30 p.m. 1. Colwood Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 999, 2008, Amendment No. 7 (Comprehensive Development (CD22) Zone-Havenwood Heights), Bylaw No. 1547, 2014. The general purpose of proposed Bylaw No. 1547 is to amend Section 3.0 of the Official Community Plan by re-designating Area 2 identified on the map below from the “Hillside-Shoreline Controlled Growth Area” to “Neighbourhood Centre” the property located at 3476 Wishart Road, more particularly described as the Northerly 5 Chains of Section 62, Esquimalt District, Except the Westerly 200 Feet and Except Part in Plans 36847 and VIP74552. 2. Colwood Land Use Bylaw No. 151, 1989, Amendment No. 141 (Comprehensive Development (CD22) Zone-Havenwood Heights), Bylaw No. 1548, 2014. The general purpose of Bylaw No. 1548 is to amend the Land Use Bylaw by deleting from the Rural 1 (A1) Zone creating a new Comprehensive Development Zone (CD22) of the property located at 3476 Wishart Road, more particularly described as the Northerly 5 Chains of Section 62, Esquimalt District, Except the Westerly 200 Feet and Except Part in Plans 36847 and VIP74552, as shown below:

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 year. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Inside Ride to support families facing childhood cancer journey

Angela Cowan

News Gazette staff

Angela Cowan/News Gazette staff

Eight-year-old René Soto energetically practices for the upcoming Inside Ride fundraiser this Sunday, with his mother Julia Taylor, left, and Susan Kerr cheering him on. The Inside Ride is supporting the BC Childhood Cancer Parents Association’s Family Support Program for a third year, and aims to raise $20,000.

The Inside Ride comes to City Centre Park in Langford on Sunday (Oct. 26), with colourful 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 Canadawide 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 Association’s Island-based Family Support Program. “Our goal this year is $20,000,” says event organizer Susan Kerr, who’s also the association’s Vancouver Island liaison. Besides the Family Support Program, which supplies emergency financial aid, social and emotional support and practical assistance to children with

cancer and their families, funds will go toward the new pediatric oncology wing at Victoria General 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 parents’ 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 passing 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 dancing 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 s.kerr@bcccpa.org. acowan@goldstreamgazette.com

Canadian library month being celebrated

Events include superhero dress-up, musical storytime, harvest sampling

October is Canadian Library Month and this year the Greater Victoria Public Library is celebrating the many ways our libraries inspire us. The library has plenty of reason to celebrate; according to the latest Canadian Urban Libraries Council statistics, 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 Maureen 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 libraries provide our community with a sense of belonging and encourage the joy of learning and discovery.” GVPL is celebrating with events throughout 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 celebrations by attending one of GVPL’s special programs, including: • Superheros at the Library: Listen to stories and have your superhero questions

answered by one or more of your favourite superhero characters. Various branches, dates and times at gvpl. ca • Harvest Celebration: Join in the celebration 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-
