Columnist suggests self-help to develop safe driving skills With more than a decade of work as an auto journalist under her belt, Driveway columnist Alexandra Straub knows a thing or two about being on the road.

In this Friday’s edition of Driveway, Straub writes about the importance of training yourself to be a safer driver.

“Poor driving habits – not shoulder checking, not using your signals, driving in the left lane when you’re not passing – are minor details in the grand scheme of things, but have a large impact,” she says. “It’s never too late to refresh the basics and then pick up a few new good habits.”

Also this week, Zack Spencer test drives the 2014 Cadillac GTS while Bob McHugh looks at the benefits of buying used, specifically the 2010-2012 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedans.

Driveway is the weekly auto section that runs in Black Press community newspapers in B.C.

Some choices are hard.

Some are easy.

Poultry program needs kidlets

Westshore 4-H hopes to bring more knowledge of animals, agriculture and community to kids in the area.

Youth aged nine to 21 interested in the current project – poultry – can come out for registration and more information on Nov. 17.

The goal is to raise animals, learn about them and exhibit in local fairs. The season runs from January to November and costs $90 to cover insurance.

Registration is Nov. 17 from 1 to 3 p.m. at Luxton Fairgrounds in the Heritage building.

West Shore teens tackle social issues in song

Charla Huber News staff

S

arah Moss and Lara Hamburg harmonize to end bullying and increase organ donations.

Best friends since starting Grade 3 at Hans Helgesen elementary school, they wrote and performed “Better Than This” to approach bullying among teens in school.

“I just thought about when I was in Grade 6 and 7 and how I felt bullied and singled out,” Moss said, adding her song was also inspired by a friend targeted by bullies.

The duo’s manager, Steve Gilbert, sent the song to his long-time friend and former business partner Michael Ravenhill, CEO of the David Foster Foundation. Ravenhill loved it. Visualizing potential, he plans to visit the Metchosin studio to help the two 15-year-olds finalize the song in the new year. A children’s choir is rehearsing the chorus for the new recording.

With that news the teen’s manager challenged Moss to write a new song promoting organ donation. The song “Miracle Today” is a surprise for Ravenhill when he visits Metchosin.

“Miracle Today” tells a story of girl name Jessica who needs an organ “We were so transplant to live. As she lingers near death, a boy nervous and we dies in a car crash savwere thinking ing her.

– Sarah Moss The Belmont students, who perform as Sarah and Lara, started taking guitar lessons from Gilbert in 2011. In seven years teaching music, it’s the first time he told his students to form a band.

“They both are amazing,” he said. But it took some work to get them recording.

“I put a microphone in front of (Sarah) and she just pushed it away and said she would never sing into a microphone,” said Gilbert.

The teacher had a plan, he would crank Taylor Swift music and have them sing along, with the mic out.

“I slowly lowered the Taylor Swift volume and

Music, lyrics overpower bullies

Sarah and Lara created “Better Than This” after Darren Laur, a spokesperson for Internet and social media safety for youth, sought them out. Laur uses the song during his presentations, which have reached more than 130,000 students since 1993.

“It’s powerful to have a song written by youth for youth,” said Laur, adding he sent the song to local and national anti-bully campaigns.

eventually it was just them singing,” he said.

Twice a week the musicians practise with their manager teacher and play gigs as often as they can.

Their first public performance was at a Metchosin Community House open mic night last December.

“We were so nervous and we were thinking about backing out,” said Moss, adding there were only about 15 people in the audience.

Now the seasoned performers have sung in coffee shops all across Greater Victoria, retirement homes and a children’s hospice in Vancouver.

“We are trying to perform whereever we can and work on recording,” said Moss, who sings and plays guitar.

The Grade 10 students hope to make music a full-time job.

else,” said Hamburg, who sings plus plays guitar and piano The artists have varied tastes in music, but say their differences complement each other.

Hamburg is a bit more rebellious enjoying the edge of Paramore and Macklemore but also listens to Mumford and Sons. Moss prefers country and crooner music including Taylor Swift and Michael Buble.

Tech closes gap between students, overseas soldiers Kyle Wells News staff

Belmont secondary students joined peers across the country last Friday morning for an online Remembrance Day ceremony that included some special guests.

Schools from Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick and elsewhere connected digitally with one another, as well as with Canadian Forces personnel in Afghanistan, to reflect on the sacrifice of soldiers and the importance of remembrance.

Belmont students were chosen to recite In Flanders Fields for the ceremony and were first to ask a few questions of the serving soldiers.

Three students asked questions such as whether language barriers play a role in their duties in Afghanistan and how often the soldiers get to talk to their families.

The soldiers spoke of learning some

IN BRIEF

RCMP cleared in Metchosin death

Charla Huber/News staff

Coral Henderson and Yoda encourage West Shore residents to bring non-perishable food items to the Capital Regional District Bylaw and Animal Care Services on Veterans Memorial Parkway.

Battle to be top dog Charla Huber News staff

Bring in a food donation when getting a dog licence and you can be entered in a draw to get the No. 0001 dog licence on the West Shore next year.

“We get lots of calls for people asking for the No. 1,” said Coral Henderson, administrative co-ordinator for Capital Regional District Bylaw and Animal Care Services.

From now until Dec. 31 every food item dropped off will get a pet BLUE owner an entry in the draw.

C89 “We are hoping to getM67 a few truck Y0 loads of food for the Goldstream K0 Food Bank,” Henderson said.

If the winner would like another RED special number insteadC0 of No. 1, M96 best to Henderson will try her Y78 accommodate the request.

K0 “I once had a gambler ask for 777,” she said.

Henderson’s lucky number is Grey seven and she always tries to get K71 that tag for her Pomeranian, Yoda.

Did you know? n Owners purchase about 2,000 licences in person at the Langford office.

Dog owners are required to purchase a licence every year and the Langford office sells 11,000 a year serving the West Shore, Sooke, Juan de Fuca electoral area and the Gulf Islands.

“A dog licence is your pet’s best ticket home,” said Henderson, who once got a call from her colleagues when Yoda left the backyard through a loose fence panel and ended up at City Centre Park.

Dog licences can be purchased online, over the phone or in person. Henderson hopes to collect at least 2,000 food items.

CRD Bylaw and Animals Care Services office is located at 212-2780 Veterans Memorial Parkway. charla@goldstreamgazette.com

West Shore RCMP were cleared of any wrongdoing in the death of a Metchosin woman after an incident on Aug. 8.

The 63-year-old woman died from injuries in hospital on Aug. 26.

A report released last Thursday reveals the RCMP were responding to a call from a hotel in Langford. An officer gave the woman a ride home, but on her way from the car to her door she fell on her driveway and broke one of her hips.

The woman was significantly intoxicated, according to hospital records.

After speaking with officers and one civilian witness, the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. concluded that the incident could not be proved to be the officer’s fault.

The matter has been dropped.

Pair pilfers poppy box

Watch your charity boxes, RCMP say after a pair swiped a poppy donation box in View Royal on Sunday.

The manager of the Mac’s convenience store on Admirals Road said a man and woman swiped the box around 1 a.m. on Nov. 3.

The woman is described as Caucasian with light brown or red hair, 60 to 70 years old, wearing a red jacket. The man, also white, is in a simi-

lar age range, wearing a black jacket.

“Criminals thrive on opportunity, so take the necessary steps to make it harder for them to prey on the public, local businesses and even charities,” said Const.

Sarah Beckett of West Shore RCMP. Police say to make staff aware of where charity boxes are sitting and try to keep them close to where staff members are nearby at all times. editor@goldstream gazette.com

OUR VIEW

Dining out helps feed less fortunate

T

he restaurant business in Victoria has weathered hard times over the past few years, so it’s encouraging to see local eateries stepping up in terms of helping those who struggle to afford a meal and groceries.

In recent weeks, a trio of entrepreneurs launched Mealshare with a handful of downtown restaurants (Canoe, Zambri’s, Lido Waterfront Bistro and West Coast Waffles), where the purchase of a particular menu item means a meal is donated to Our Place Society.

At the same time, a charity called StreetSmart is running a two-month program with a group of restaurants (Sooke Harbour House, 10 Acres, Ça Va, Cafe Brio, Milestone’s, Pescatores, Cheryl’s Gourmet Pantry, Relish and The Marina Restaurant) that gives diners a way to donate cash to the Mustard Seed food bank through a restaurant bill.

If you are not in the habit of carrying around non-perishable food that are more often collected around Christmas time, adding a few bucks on a restaurant tab is a low-pressure way to help make sure the food bank has cash flow.

Thanks to generous deals with local grocers, food banks can stretch their dollars further –1.5 to two times more – than the average person in terms of buying food.

The Mustard Seed, the hub food bank that serves much of Greater Victoria and contributes to the food bank in Langford, constantly struggles to bring in enough donations and cash to serve the 5,000 people who can’t afford food for an entire month.

Increasingly, those are people who are employed but can’t make ends meet or senior citizens on fixed incomes.

Many local restaurants are already involved in charity efforts, and also support local farms and buying local, and should be applauded for extending that generosity.

As we transition into the Christmas season and hit the shopping malls and downtown stores, it’s worth remembering an unsettling number of people in this region struggle to get by. The social enterprises of Mealshare and StreetSmart can go a long way to make this time of year a little better for many fellow citizens.

five conditions, provincial royalties excluded, and Clark endorsed Redford’s proposed “Canadian Energy Strategy,” which B.C. rejected last year.

A draft of the strategy released last summer contains no specifics on how it would facilitate a pipeline project from Alberta to B.C. It talks about developing Canada’s energy reserves and at the same time somehow reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promises a final version next spring. Oh, and Quebec refuses to participate.

Ottawa has sole jurisdiction over inter-provincial projects such as Northern Gateway and the proposal by Kinder Morgan Canada to expand the 60-year-old Trans Mountain pipeline to Burnaby and refineries in Washington.

If there is to be some extra revenue for B.C. from oil traffic, it could theoretically take the form of a toll on pipelines. Redford pointed out the problem with that idea in her speech to an energy forum in Vancouver last week. She noted that 42 per cent of B.C. natural gas is piped through Alberta to markets. If B.C. can toll Alberta oil, the same could be done with B.C. gas.

None of B.C.’s five conditions has yet been met. Legally, they don’t have to be, except for the one about accommodating aboriginal title.

Missed teaching moment in welfare food challenge Re: Belmont students attempt to eat at welfare prices (News Nov. 6) I agree there is not enough money for welfare recipients but am dismayed at the education offered to the students who took part in the exercise to live off $26 of food for a week. I did a quick shopping list from current flyers: • 2 kg of pork- 4,550 calories - $7.77 • 10 lbs of potatoes - 5,028 calories - $3.54 • 6 lbs of carrots - 675 calories - $2.54 • 3 lbs of onions - 457 calories - $1.27 • equals stew - 10,710 calories - $15.12 4 l milk - 2,117 calories - $4 4 lbs of apples - 975 calories - $5 Total - 13,802 calories - $24.12 plus tax This isn’t exciting or trendy but it will keep

you full and nourished at 1,971 calories per day. I didn’t even bargain hunt here or pool my budget with someone to expand my choices (flour, eggs, sugar, baking soda, salt, yeast and butter; now we can have bread and cookies).

Education equals skills.

How about classes on shopping to cook with only $26 per week?

Heinz Zoodles are very expensive per useful calorie.

Cameron Nicol Langford P.S. Thanks mom, your stories of living through the depression and wartime (1930s and ’40s) and thriftiness were not wasted. I bet she would just love to teach a class on depression eating.

Readers respond: ambulances and trains Ambulance in Victoria equals lower service Re: New ambulance station drops to one car (News, Oct. 30) You mentioned that the ambulance service is relocating an ambulance outside of the West Shore and into Victoria.

Leaving us with only one ambulance for 70,000 people.

How is that a good thing for the West Shore?

Sounds to me like they are blowing smoke. It’s a reduction of service out here. Plain and simple.

Let’s hope nobody dies because of it.

Malahat money input prompts train talk Estimates to make the dangerous Malahat safer are approaching $250 million, and climbing.

Except the solutions only consider making it better for more

cars, not the much easier and cheaper method of reducing the traffic.

More than 95 per cent of cars travelling that highway contain only the driver. Instead of sitting in a smoking traffic jam, most of them would be a lot happier and safer on a train.

If only a hundred people took a train it would go a long way toward reducing accidents.

Over $14 million to upgrade the railway has already been committed by federal and provincial governments. The tracks belong to the Island Corridor Foundation of BC. The only obstacle is US-owned VIA Rail,

which wants the tracks kept free for their freight hauling business.

Canada has at least two international rail-building corporations, Bombardier and SNC Lavalin. I’d much rather pay one of them to build a lightweight commuter rail system than rebuild highways that will only become more congested.

If the city of Shanghai had gone with highways instead of public transit in the 1980s, they would need 17 lanes of highway both ways today.

Four Seasons sings Seussical debut Charla Huber News staff

Dr. Seuss books will come to life in Langford as Four Seasons Musical Theatre offers Seussical the Musical.

fter a one-year hiatus, the Victoria Fiddle Society’s FiddleFest is returning for its fifth iteration this weekend.

It all kicks off with a barn dance at Brentwood Community Hall on Friday (Nov. 15).

The two-night celebration is anchored by a day full of workshops on Saturday, which draws fiddle enthusiasts from across the Pacific Northwest, as far away as Whitehorse. It’s followed by an allstar jam session featuring the workshop instructors on Saturday night, which is the only proper way to celebrate the fiddle, says VFS head Daniel Lapp.

“Somehow in this generation the fiddle became something seen in a concert hall, not that there isn’t a place for fiddling on the concert stage, but most fiddlers are playing because they love to play, and playing for dances is the better forum. There’s an interaction and connection that’s more tactile. People are moving to your music.”

The topics of focus for Saturday’s series of workshops are the fiddle, naturally, as well as guitar, cello, voice, percussion and step dance.

FiddleFest’s instructors will also be on stage Saturday night, including bands The Fretless and Qristina and Quinn Bachand, Oliver Swain, B.C. fiddle champion Sarah Tradewell, and Victoria fiddler Nellie Quinn.

“Ideas are exchanged throughout the weekend not just during the workshops,” said VFS vice president Ceri Osborne. “It never stops, people continue to share between the workshops too.”

It’s been nearly 20 years since Lapp launched his passion for fiddle music onto Victoria with the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra for the 1994 Commonwealth Games.

It’s a scene that continues to grow – in Greater Victoria especially, says Lapp. He has seen such successful growth in the fiddle community, that the Canadian Folk Music Awards took time to honour Lapp with the Innovator of the Year award at the Nov. 10 event in Calgary.

“People across Canada know about the fiddle community in Greater Victoria. Students are not only living the fiddle lifestyle, but taking it across the country.”

Lapp stresses the instrument’s powerful transcendence to any of his students, whether they’re members of the B.C. Fiddle Orchestra or fiddlers in a 60-minute workshop.

The fiddle is not just any instrument but a vehicle for people to connect through music and dance, Lapp said.

“It’s one of those things that instantly connects people who’ve never met before.”

The Friday and Saturday shows are open to the public and Lapp hopes to see a full house.

“The music is for the whole community. People are hungry to inter-

Bentall brings Cariboo to coast

CHRISTOPHER SuN reporter@vicnews.com Two generations of roots and country musicians will come together for three nights of jamming and storytelling this weekend in support of ending hunger.

Barney Bentall is bringing his Grand Cariboo Opry show to Central Saanich, Victoria and Sooke Nov. 15 to 17 to benefit food banks in each community.

Expect an old country opry and live originals and covers, said Vancouverbased Bentall.

“It’s a good old fashion variety show with a bunch of great artists,” Bentall said of the show that raised $50,000 for Mustard Seed and Sidney Lions food banks last year.

“There is such a great collection of music. It’s one of the most amazing things I’m involved with.”

Other artists on stage include Bentall’s son, Dustin, 54-40’s Neil Osborne, Paperboy’s singer and fiddler Kendel Carson, Ridley Bent, Matt Masters, Wendy Bird, Angela Harris and the Gold Rush Allstars, made up of Geoff Hicks, Rob Becker, Eric Reed and Scott Smith.

“These are people who are not your typical country-western singers,” Bentall said, adding that the music is more roots and “old-style country.

These are people who appreciate and love country music in its purest form.”

This is the seventh year that Music in the Bay is presenting Bentall and his oprystyle show, at Saanichton’s Friendship Community Church on Nov. 15, Victoria’s First Metropolitan Church Nov. 16 and at Edward Milne Community Theatre on Nov. 17. Monies raised will stay at food banks in each community.

This grand opry-style show has started as an idea while Bentall was at his ranch in the Cariboo.

“I wanted to take that down to the coast and keep that Cariboo vibe to it.”

To date, more than $150,000 has been raised.

Tickets are $30, plus a $2 handling fee, and are available at brentwoodbay. info.

Legion rocks for hampers Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Raise a Little Hell to double the funds for the local food bank and Christmas hampers.

Kurt Gowitt is well into his second season as a Decades of Rock planner and hopes to make twice the cash the rocking event drew last year at the Legion in Langford.

“Last year we just did it for the West Shore Christmas Hamper this year we’ve added the West Shore Food Bank,” he said.

The two operate as separate entities. To benefit both, the West Shore Lions that host the show added a pair of gaming licences to allow for raffles.

Volunteers canvassed businesses to gather $4,300-worth of prizes divvied into gift baskets with titles such as second honeymoon, you are what you eat, it’s a guy thing and shop til you drop.

“The person has the option of placing their tickets all into one basket or divvy it up into three baskets,” Gowitt said. “Each basket is anywhere from $600 to 650 value.”

The event will also feature 50/50 raffles in hopes of doubling the $2,500 raised last year at the same event.

“That’s the goal, I want to do better than that,” Gowitt said.

“We’ll also have donation boxes at the door as well.”

Dean Gibbs, known on stage as Teal Cumberbund, is a member of all three bands that will perform a decade of rock each. Younger than Yesterday is a ’60s band while Free Ride covers the 1970s and Rock of Ages will stick to the ’80s.

“We give the full Rock ‘n’ Roll experience. We dress up in period costumes … some people wear wigs, some people just have ’70s hair,” he said with a chuckle. “We have everything a rock and roll show needs, even the attitude.

Sometimes to create the party atmosphere you have to party yourself.”

The bands also performed Decades of Rock for last year’s fundraiser at the Langford Legion.

Lester Patrick’s Victoria Pros stand inside Patrick Arena, one year before the team competed for the Stanley Cup in 1914. The Pros introduced and perfected the forward pass in the woodframe arena, which stood in Oak Bay until it burned down in 1929.

Tips for pet eyecare Like humans, our pets are also prone to common eye problems such as glaucoma, cataracts, and corneal ulcers or lacerations (most often resulting from scratches). For instance, most dogs suffer from farsightedness or astigmatism, but since they normally just fetch, and do not read newspapers, we rarely hear them complain. Proper eye health care is just as important for animals as it is for humans.

Here are some tips for keeping your pet’s eyes in top form: keep your pet from sticking its head outside car windows; flying debris and dust particles can cause eye injury or irritation.

Regularly check for persistent eye discharge or inflammation. If your pet displays these symptoms, or demonstrates peculiar behavior such as trying to rub its eyes, or bumping into objects, you should have your pet’s eyes checked by a veterinarian. Two legged pets that talk still need to see the Optometrist!

It was the rule change to rule all rule changes.

A century ago, the innovative brothers Lester and Frank Patrick shaped the modern game of hockey, and they did it in Victoria.

But it wasn’t all rosy. When they opted to allow the forward pass, in the neutral zone only, they were scrutinized by the press and by other leagues.

Even players “held a disdain” for the new rule.

Today, the Patricks are heralded for their innovations, which are used in the NHL and ice hockey leagues worldwide.

But people are unaware of the staunch criticism they faced.

They were told they were going to ruin the game. It’s captured in Craig H. Bowlsby’s new book 1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey.

“The Patricks were always looking for ways to better the flow of the game, not necessarily to increase speed,” Bowlsby says. “They wanted to prevent stoppages. Goalies going down would kill the play, so that was obvious, and they allowed goalies to fall to the ice.”

Thusly they allowed the forward pass. Outside of hockey, the pass had already been adopted by the U.S.A. rugby union, as that sport morphed into football as we know it.

However, forward pass-

Courtesy of the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame

Lester Patrick bent to his brother’s wishes and used the forward pass. ing wasn’t accepted widely in hockey until as late as the 1930s.

Bowlsby’s 1913 chronicles not only the backlash Frank and Lester faced from newspapers and their main competition that season, the east’s National Hockey Association (which became the NHL in 1917), it also sheds new light on the brothers’ quarrels with each other. Their first significant disagreement was over the seven-man system.

“Frank tried to implement the six-man unit in 1913 but Lester said ‘no way.’ So when Frank said ‘no offside’ in the centre ice area, Lester had to back down,” Bowlsby said.

It was one of the few areas of the game the PCHA changed after the NHA. Lester refused to drop the seventh man and go to five skaters and a goalie.

However, it worked as leverage for Frank to implement the forward pass in 1913-14, which Lester was also cold on. In fact, Bowlsby is almost certain Lester hated the forward pass.

Ironically, Lester repented soon into the 1913-14 season as his Victoria Pros proved the most capable of using the neutral zone pass in the PCHA. With it, they advanced from the PCHA to the 1914 Stanley Cup championship held in Toronto, though they lost to the Toronto Arenas/ Blueshirts of the NHA. In a twist of fate, noted hockey historian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has simultaneously released a book this month on the beginnings of pro hockey in Toronto, including the 1914 champion Arenas.

“Frank and Lester both brought in the new ideas, and there was a dynamic between them, a tug of war,” Bowlsby said. “Frank championed some things, Lester others, and they didn’t always agree.”

At times they squabbled through the newspapers.

“Frank stated through The Vancouver Province: ‘there was no question it would be adopted.’ But two days later Lester repudiated that idea,” Bowlsby said.

“Shortly thereafter, (Lester) said in The Province on Dec. 1, 1913: ‘I am not greatly in favour of the new offside rule and will have to be shown where this rule will benefit the game before I will lend my support....’”

1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey is available at Chapters.Indigo.ca. sports@vicnews.com

The brothers Patrick brooded over new ideas, tweaking the game in their minds as much as possible before each season in the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, which they ran from 1911 to 1924.

Some rule changes were sketched out at Frank’s house in Vancouver, while others were debated in the Patrick family house on Michigan Street in James Bay. They implemented them on the artificial ice of the Patrick Arena in Oak Bay. The Patricks continued to tinker with the game until the PCHA folded in 1926, when Lester sold his Victoria Cougars, which became the NHL’s Detroit Cougars (Red Wings).

Picture this

Craig Bowlsby is a Vancouver-based hockey author. He started collecting old hockey photos which led him to 15 years of part-time research and the self-published 2006 book, Knights of Winter.

He assembled 1913: The Year They Invented The Future of Hockey, based on the three years of research he put into his mammoth release earlier in 2013, Empire of Ice: The Rise and Fall of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association, 1911-1926.

Tired players

The forward pass sped up the game and ultimately led to another Patrick innovation, or “allowance,” to increase the roster and allow line changes. The same six players used to play the entire game.

Rugged rules

The Canadian Football League didn’t permit a forward pass in the Grey Cup until 1929.

Shoppers employee shares personal cancer story

Shoppers Drug Mart cosmetician Doris Arzethauser has a very personal reason for getting behind the national Look Good Feel Better campaign, which aims to help women manage the effects of cancer treatment on their appearance and morale.

Arzethauser has endured a partial mastectomy and radiation therapy Don Descoteau for breast cancer.

Biz Beat Now in remission and back to work at the Douglas Street branch of Shoppers, she hopes to pass along positive messages about

dealing with the disease during the Holiday Snowflake gala fundraiser this Saturday (Nov. 16) at her store.

“I have always felt that Shoppers Drug Mart’s support of the Look Good Feel Better program was extremely important,” Doris said in a release.

“But now it has taken on a different meaning for me because I can add something of myself to the events and touch people in a different way.”

Customers at Shoppers stores in Greater Victoria and across the province can take in the Holiday Snowflake event from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. The $10 ticket, $5 of which is passed along to Look Good Feel Better, includes makeovers, skincare consultations, refreshments and snacks.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING The City of Langford has received an application to amend Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by means of proposed Bylaw No. 1495. All persons who believe that their interest in property is affected by the proposed Bylaw will be afforded an opportunity to be heard or to present written submissions respecting matters contained in the Bylaw at a Public Hearing to be held in the CITY OF LANGFORD COUNCIL CHAMBERS, Third Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, on Monday, 18 November 2013, at 7:00 pm. Please be advised that no representations may be received by Council after the close of the Public Hearing and any submissions made to Council, whether orally or in writing, will form part of a public record.

Proposal: The purpose of Bylaw No. 1495 is to amend the City of Langford Zoning Bylaw No. 300 by amending the zoning designation of the land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1495 from R2 (One- and Two-Family Residential) Zone and adding to the MU1A (Mixed Use Residential Commercial A) Zone to allow the construction of a mixed use building with approximately 12 residential units and 1 commercial unit on the

ground floor.

Applicant: Neil Jacobson, Wensley Architecture Location: The land that is the subject of Bylaw No. 1495 is 3030 Jacklin Rd as shown shaded on the plan.

COPIES of the complete proposed Bylaw and other material that the Council may consider in relation to the Bylaw may be viewed from 8:30 am to 4:30 pm, Monday to Friday (holidays excluded), from Monday, 4 November 2013 to Monday, 18 November 2013, inclusive, at Langford City Hall, 2nd Floor, 877 Goldstream Avenue, Langford, BC, V9B 2X8.

Please contact Grant Liebscher in the Planning Department at 250478-7882 with any questions on this Bylaw.

turning that into warm blankets to be donated to the Victoria Cool Aid Society. Starting Friday (Nov. 15) and running through Dec.8, for every donation of $5, the furniture and home fashions retailer will pass along one of its fleece blankets to the shelter provider. The initiative is happening at all 40 Urban Barn stores in Western Canada.

The goal is to give away 10,000 blankets. For more information visit blanketthecountry.com.

The event is open to anyone, not only women going through cancer treatment. Shoppers stores hosting the galas are on Fort Street, Douglas Street, Hillside Mall, Uptown, Royal Oak Plaza and Esquimalt Road.

Many familiar names on top employer list The list of 50 Best Employers in Canada, published recently by employer research firm Aon Canada, shows a number of companies doing business in Greater Victoria.

Topping the list is digital communications firm Cisco Systems, which operates an office at the Vancouver Island Technology Park in Saanich.

Many well-known national and international firms operating here are also on the list, such as McDonald’s (#10) and Federal Express (#13). But some more localized companies also made the cut, such as Island Savings (#49, fourth straight year on list), Keg Restaurants (#16) and Vancity Credit Union (#31). See

Eat out and help the food bank Daniel Palmer News staff

A charitable movement that’s raised more than $12 million for food banks worldwide is planting roots in Greater Victoria.

StreetSmart is a simple concept: for the next two months, participating restaurants ask patrons if they’re interested in donating $1 to a local food bank. At the end of the campaign, the charities that serve the community’s most in need get a financial boost.

“Thanks to generous local donors, 100 per cent of the proceeds will go to local charities,” said Karen Clarke, StreetSmart Victoria organizer.

Restaurants onboard in Greater Victoria include Sooke Harbour House, 10 Acres, Ça Va, Cafe Brio, Milestone’s, Pescatores, Cheryl’s Gourmet Pantry, Relish and The Marina Restaurant in Oak Bay. Clarke hopes to add more as the campaign moves forward.

“Victoria is a perfect place to do this, because we have so many wonderful restaurants,” she said.

The Mustard Seed and Sooke food banks will receive every penny of collected donations, while administrative and marketing costs for StreetSmart are covered by philanthropists in the community.

“It doesn’t affect server gratuities and it doesn’t cost the restaurant anything. The feedback we’ve had from Vancouver is the restaurants loved being a part of it, the servers feel they’re contributing to the community and the local connection is a big factor for a lot of people.”

“Music can bring you back to a certain place in your life and spark a really familiar feeling or memory.”

– Karly Summers

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 bylaw at a PUBLIC HEARING to be held in the COUNCIL CHAMBERS at CITY HALL, 3300 Wishart Road, Colwood, B.C. on Monday, November 25, 2013 at 7:00 p.m.

1. “COLWOOD LAND USE BYLAW NO. 151, 1989, AMENDMENT NO. 135 (CS1 ZONE TEXT AMENDMENT-310, 314, 318 and 328 WALE ROAD and 2675 WILFERT ROAD BYLAW NO. 1523, 2013”.

New tunes set the pace Kyle Wells News staff

Karly Summers is set to bring new life to her musical career with a spirit of enthusiasm and a handful of new tunes.

The Langford youth lay low for the past two years, while honing her skills, working on new material and getting ready to make another push at building a career from her passion.

“I’m not looking for my big break or anything, because that’s a lot of luck,” Summers said. “But I’m definitely going to take it one person, one show and one song at a time.”

The Belmont grad just released a new single, “How It Goes,” and music video to go along with it. She records in a home studio her father, who works in the business, helped set up on a computer, using a professional microphone and Apple Loops for drums. Her father helps out again after she’s finished recording, mixing and mastering the tracks.

Ambition pushed Summers to produce a full album, but she has since shied away from the idea, leaning instead towards continuing to release her material online, one track at a time.

“This stuff is pretty poppy, I would say, but the subject matter isn’t so much,” Summers said. “The lyrics are more than just the pop stuff you hear these days … touching on hopefully relatable topics for people.”

Summers started writing songs at the age of eight, before she could even play an instrument.

She picked up the guitar at age 11 and piano at 14, the same time she started performing for friends and peers at Spencer middle school.

With the help of her father she also started making music videos at 14 and posting them to YouTube.

“Songwriting stemmed from writing in general,” Summers said. “I just remember always it was a thing I kept going back to, not really by choice.

That sounds really weird, but it was just a very

natural outlet.”

The “How It Goes” music video captures some of the quintessential moments of Summers’ musical development: playing her first guitar; busking at the Sidney Street Market and downtown Victoria; using the money earned to buy a new guitar.

The video explores the many ways people incorporate music into their lives, while taking a look at some of the ways music has influences Summers.

“Music can bring you back to a certain place in your life and spark a really familiar feeling or memory,” Summers said.

“I’d never really written Video a song about music, usuonline ally it’s about a different www.VicNews.com topic, so it was really cool.”

The video also features many West Shore locations and faces.

While recording her current batch of songs, Summers managed to write enough new ones for another project, so that’s what’s next. She said she can hear her songs developing as she progresses.

“They’re songs that I’m really, really passionate about and they’re just at a totally different level or mindset,” Summers said. “I’m really excited.”

She plans to release a new single and music video in early January. “How It Goes” is available on iTunes. For the music video visit karlysummers.com and for an acoustic performance of the song visit vicnews.com under the West Shore neighbourhood. kwells@goldstreamgazette.com
