Six years ago Bob Saunders scoured pawn shops in search of treasure.

Specifically, he was on the hunt for Stephen Henry Saunders’ war medals, stolen during a home break-in.

“When dad passed away he left them for me,” Saunders said.

The home was ransacked and items were strewn all over the house, except what was stolen, including the war medals.

“I went to all the pawn shops in Victoria looking for them,” Saunders said. “It didn’t worry me about the other stuff that was taken.”

He did not find the medals and after years living with the empty feeling, Saunders approached family friend Chief Warrant Officer Brian Lougheed to see about replacements.

In October, Lougheed, Honorary Lieutenant Colonel Dale Murray and Honorary Colonel Stu McDonald presented Saun-

Last year during the Christmas season, The Salvation Army assisted 1,500 families with food hampers and gave toys and presents to another 800 families, said spokesperson Kyla Ferns.

“By donating to the Coins for Kids Campaign, your donations enable The Salvation Army to help hundreds of Victoria families over the holidays and throughout the year,” Ferns said.

“We can’t do it alone and we are very grateful to the community for your support.”

Now in its 17th year, Coins for Kids has raised more than $600,000 since its inception. Last year, the campaign reached about $5,700 for various Greater Victoria charities.

To donate, look for the Coins for Kids boxes at participating businesses, or stop by Black Press head office, 818 Broughton St. in Victoria or the Goldstream News Gazette offices, #117-777 Goldstream Ave. in Langford.

“Your unwanted coins will amount to big things for children this holiday season,” Sakamoto said.

Dogs have fowl fun at work Pups get the goose to help farmers save wheat crops Charla Huber News staff

The trolley purchased from Ladysmith will replace an aging one in Langford.

Langford scores ‘great deal’ on Ladysmith trolley Charla Huber News staff

Ladysmith’s iconic trolley travels to Langford next week.

“We bought it to replace one of our old ones.

It was a really good deal,” said Langford Coun.

Lanny Seaton.

In early November, Ladysmith council accepted the offer from the City of Langford to purchase the 2009 Supreme Trolley Bus for $82,000, as-is — including the supply of related equipment, including tires, custom parts and a Christmas light frame.

The trolley will replace Langford’s first trolley, a model from the early 1990s. That trolley has been driven daily for the past six years, accumulating a lot of kilometres, said George Henshall, Langford manager of public works.

The newer trolley seats up to 38 people, nearly double the one it will replace.

“Our trolley service is gaining. This one is much bigger and looks just like our other trolleys,” Henshall said.

Council asked Town of Ladysmith staff to dispose of the trolley in late May and the City of Langford made an offer of $82,000, as-is.

“Staff consider this offer is a reasonable price for this four-year-old vehicle, which has been in constant service since 2009,” John Manson, Ladysmith’s director of infrastructure services, wrote in his report to council.

John Costello throws a decoy duck and blows his whistle, signs that tell his springer spaniel, Hunter, it’s time to fetch.

The exercise helps the dog learn about tracking and hunting, but it’s also a pastime Costello enjoys.

The 62-year-old Saanich man can be found daily at the Island and Pacific Labrador Retriever Club’s training area at Beaver Lake ponds with Hunter and his yellow lab, Bella.

“Labs are pretty easy to train and they are big robust dogs and can retrieve big birds up to 12 pounds,” says Costello, the club’s training co-ordinator. “Springer spaniels specialize in upland hunting of pheasants and grouse.”

The Labrador retriever club shares the acres of training space with the Island Retriever Club on the western edge of Beaver Lake, an idyllic area with wide ponds, ditches, brush and forest. Not all retriever club members are hunters, but all enjoy seeing their dogs become more proficient retrievers. Some train their dogs to meet Canadian Kennel Club standards.

“Beaver Lake is for field work. It simulates what happens if someone went hunting,” says Anne Morrison, president of the Island and Pacific Labrador Retriever Club. “Not everyone likes to hunt, but the dog likes doing what it’s bred for. Retrieving is so wonderful for them. Like border collies for herding, retrievers live to retrieve.”

The club, formed in 1992, remains small with about 20 members – “We’re not big but we are keen,” Morrison remarks. “We’re just interested in labs and how labs can be good citizens.”

Talking traffic critical to liveable community Kyle Wells News staff

The City of Colwood will hit the streets in search of opinions as it works toward its transportation master plan.

The master plan is intended to direct the city as it enhances travel networks and develops trails, transit options, roads and public spaces.

“With the development that’s going on and the fact that traffic is becoming more and more congested, we need to have some tangible steps we can take,” said Emmet McCusker, deputy city engineer. “We’re looking to come up with what we want Colwood’s streets to look like and feel like

and bring them back to being more community oriented, while handling the traffic flow.”

The plan will look at the city’s roadways but also concentrate heavily on alternatives, such as bicycle and pedestrian routes.

Transit is another primary focus, and as such B.C. Transit is involved in the process. The Capital Regional District is also involved in regards to regional trail networks.

“We want to be able to transform our community to be more liveable,” McCusker said, “to be the kind of place where people want to live and work in and invest in and create businesses in.”

The plan is being developed in conjunction with others in Col-

wood including the economic development plan, the rainwater management plan and a land use bylaw update.

Each feeds information to the others and the terms of references for each are intertwined, requiring consultants to bear in mind each of them.

The goal is to have the transportation plan completed by May 2014.

To that end the city is looking for input from the public.

Group chastises B.C. Housing for wait lists A regional homeless advocacy group will stage a mock award event to highlight the lengthy delays endured by people on the B.C. Housing Registry.

The Victoria Committee to End Homelessness will present a trophy and a $50 food card to a man who says he’s waited five years for a subsidized housing space. There are close to 1,500 people in the Capital Region currently awaiting approval for subsidized housing.

“Families get picked first, then if you have a disability, you get second,” said Alison Acker, committee spokeswoman. “Beyond that, I don’t really know how they pick (candidates), but whatever happens, there should not be that number of people looking for housing.”

Acker will present the “People’s Prize for Patience” trophy on Nov. 20 at 12:30 p.m. in front of the Service B.C. office (908 Pandora Ave.).

The Victoria committee is not associated with the Greater Victoria Coalition to End Homelessness. The committee includes Together Against Poverty, the Action Committee for People with Disabilities, Vancouver Island Public Interest Research Group and the Radical Health Alliance.

Since 2008, about 750 subsidized and affordable housing units have been built in Greater Victoria, including 250 units of supportive housing. The Coalition estimates another 1,500 units of subsidized and low market housing are likely needed to end homelessness in the Capital Region.

Ryan Malhotra collects business cards from every West Shore car dealership he visits with his educational assistant Elise Pastro.

Honing his social graces

Call for nominations 2014 Vancity Board of Directors’ Election

Autos offer an educational avenue for Lakewood student Charla Huber News staff

Ryan Malhotra and his educational assistant Elise Pastro are frequent flyers of the multitude of car dealerships on the West Shore.

Malhotra, an 11-year-old Lakewood elementary school student, has a passion for cars, something his educational assistant utilizes to develop new social skills.

“He has always loved cars,” Pastro said. “I am just helping him learn by feeding his passion.”

For three years Pastro has worked with Malhotra, a boy she describes as special needs with behaviour interventions.

The two also worked together three days a week during summer break. She helps him with his school work and with socializing: helping read social cues and practising making eye contact when he speaks to others.

“One of my goals with Ryan is to work myself out of a job,” Pastro said.

During the summer she would get Ryan and take him around to pick up his friends.

“I would wait in the car and he would go up to the friend’s house, ring the bell and bring them back to the car,” Pastro explained.

Then they would drive to a dealership and Malhotra would approach a salesperson, introduce himself and his friends and ask to sit in vehicles.

They also liked to pretend to race.

“We never called ahead, we’d just show up,” Pastro said, adding most businesses were happy to show Ryan and his friends around.

Harold Youland, owner of Gold Star Auto Sales was pleased to see Malhotra’s passion for cars at such a young age.

“He asked if he could look inside the cars. They are all unlocked and I let him,” Youland said. “We have 50 cars on the lot and I think he sat in every one.”

Youland explained there is another special needs man in his 20s who frequents his business to sit in the cars.

“If a special needs kid has a passion for music you’d take them to a music store or a concert,” Youland said. “Taking Ryan to the dealership is the same thing.”

Before leaving each business Malhotra would thank the salesperson and ask for a business card. He remembers each of them by name.

They’re keen on him too.

Alpine Auto donated a party bus ride as a birthday surprise for the business’s most frequent young visitor last week.

“I like to do stuff like this,” said Trevere Lefeuvre, an Alpine employee who volunteered to drive the bus. “Ryan loves cars and he’s a special kid. I’ve seen him at the lot two or three times.

Most kids only come when their parents are buying a car.” charla@goldstreamgazette.com

OUR VIEW

Don’t ignore latest disaster Typhoon Haiyan swept through the Philippines last weekend, flattening towns and a city in its wake, leaving desperate refugees seeking shelter, medical aid, food and water.

Canadians of Filipino descent and Canadians in general have responded with an outpouring of cash and supplies. The federal government has promised to match donations given to registered charities, and has mobilized disaster response teams to assess conditions on the ground in the Philippines.

Images emerging from cities like Tacloban, a once thriving economic hub, shows a wasteland of rubble and splintered wood, reminiscent of the aftermath of the Japanese tsunami of March 2011, the Haiti earthquake of January 2010, and the Indian Ocean tsunami of December 2004.

Each of these disasters has been met with the outpouring of aid and good intentions, but getting help to refugees in a timely manner and without wholesale looting and graft remains a challenge.

Even now with the international community hopefully better versed at delivering aid to large-scale disaster areas, reports coming out of the Philippines suggests relief efforts are being paralyzed due to shattered transportation links and little available fuel. Donations are piling up and resources like field hospitals are waiting to deploy.

Relief organizations are in a tough position, both on the ground and in terms of avoiding donor fatigue. The magnitude of devastation in the Philippines is immense, but as Canada and Greater Victoria enter the Christmas season, many worthwhile charities are seeking your dollars.

Church-based and social welfare groups are ramping up campaigns for Christmas food hampers, presents for underprivileged kids, and dinners and clothing for homeless people. The Victoria Hospitals Foundation is seeking millions for much needed medical equipment.

With the disaster in the Philippines, local families are being asked once again to find a few more dollars to what is undoubtedly a worthwhile humanitarian cause.

Pressures to donate are real and can stretch the budget of any family, especially around December.

But in times of crisis, be it here or half a world away, it pays to be compassionate and giving.

It’s important to remember that thousands of Filipino people have made Victoria and the Lower Mainland their home, and are an integral part of the greater community. Their plight is our plight.

Question

YOUR VIEW

Shaking head over traffic light priority Saanich municipality’s priorities for installing traffic lights at intersections are difficult to comprehend.

The District is installing lights at Viewmont and West Saanich roads.

As one who drives West Saanich Road frequently, I rarely see more than two vehicles waiting to cross or enter West Saanich. One does not know whether to laugh or cry when this intersection is given priority over others.

Residents of Mann Avenue and its feeder streets have been asking for years for lights at Mann and Glanford Avenue. At times, there are up to 10 vehicles trying to make a left turn from Mann onto Glanford.

Some impatient drivers make a risky dash when there is a small gap in the traffic.

Glanford has become a busy street with traffic from West Saanich Road and Quadra Street using it to get to the southbound Pat Bay Highway via the ramp at Vanalman Road. Northbound traffic on Glanford is also held up when a driver wants to turn left onto Mann.

Add to this vehicles coming from Wilkinson Road and using Mann to access Quadra Street and Glanford.

How long do we have to wait for Saanich to get its traffic priorities straight?

Bike lanes on Lochside deter pedestrians

I live on Lochside Drive in Central

Does Greater Victoria have a problem with jaywalking?

Answer online at www.vicnews.com

Saanich and like many of my neighbours, I like to walk and enjoy the beautiful weather and scenery.

Lochside is part of the Galloping Goose Trail and as such we have lanes on both sides of the road.

With no sidewalks, we have to walk in these lanes. On the pavement is painted a diamond for restricted use, and a bicycle, and no indication is given that the lanes can and should be used by people who wish to walk, jog, skateboard etc.

It is great that so many cyclists are using them, but some I have encountered really believe the lanes are for them only. In the past few months I have been told by cyclists to get out of their lane and in many cases had to move into the ditch or get hit.

The problem seems to be getting much worse as there seems to be many more cyclists, especially on weekends. I have neighbors who tell me they are too scared to walk for fear of getting hit.

If a diamond and a bicycle can be painted in these lanes, why couldn’t a person walking be also painted there to advise cyclists they have to share the lanes?

Hopefully Central Saanich councillors can come up with a solution.

Noisy leaf blowers resident’s bane It’s autumn, and besides the colours and smells, we are

Last Week

we asked you:

inundated with leaf blowers.

A neighbour’s gardener was out for 40 minutes chasing the last leaf from her lawn. The noise was as deafening as an old Boeing 707. A call to Oak Bay’s bylaw officer told me there is no rule prohibiting the blowers. And he asked how else are they going to pick up leaves! I guess he has never heard of a rake.

I think its high time Oak Bay council starts looking at a bylaw banning these machines. And these blown leaves. Where did they end up? On the street, the very place the municipality asks us not to put them.

Online News poll offended reader Re: Will you be attending Remembrance Day ceremonies this year? (Online poll, vicnews.com) I was somewhat put out by the questions in your online poll regarding Remembrance Day. Under the ‘No’ option it states that because I tick No it means I have no connection to any veterans nor do I want to attend something that glorifies war.

Many people cannot attend for many reasons and just because they indicate ‘No’ it does not mean they subscribe to the conditions you put forth in your poll. A simple Yes or No for all of your polls would be more appropriate.

Church orchestrates jazz Colwood’s Church of the Advent brings Victoria Jazz Orchestra for its vespers this month. The full-size jazz big band will feature special guest Bill Runge, one of Vancouver’s most renowned tenor saxophonists.

In May, the Victoria Jazz Orchestra rose from the ashes of the defunct Monday Night Big Band co-led by saxophone sensation Monik Nordine and trumpet wizard Bruce Hurn.

The ensemble is establishing itself as a monthly staple at Hermann’s jazz club while including as guest artists some of the West Coast’s best jazz musicians.

Runge, a successful performer, composer, arranger and orchestrator for more than 30 years, has performed and recorded on saxophone, flute, clarinet, electric and string bass, piano and keyboard, guitar, penny whistle and accordion. His saxophone style amalgamates the influences of John Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Michael Brecker and Steve Grossman with his own

spokesperson Craig Sorochan.

Sorochan is also manager of communications and community relations for the WestShore Chamber of Commerce, which acts as the secretariat and has chaired SVICA to date.

“We all look forward to working closely together on issues such as transportation, the E&N Rail and economic development.”

The new organization is to meet quarterly taking turns as host and chair of each session.

SVICA is made up of Sooke, Esquimalt, South Cowichan, Ladysmith, Duncan-Cowichan, WestShore, Saanich Peninsula, Salt Spring and Port Renfrew chambers. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Steve Patterson might be NATALIE NOrTH

debatable!

arts@mondaymag.com

C

anada’s Best Male Comic is at home in the middle of a great debate, a prerequisite for hosting a fast-paced radio show, or attending law school – two activities which Steve Patterson knows well.

Patterson, a Montreal-based standup comic and host of CBC’s The Debaters had a full scholarship to law school – a part of his bio most find hard to believe – before his penchant for public speaking rerouted his career path.

His dorm mates signed him up for a spot during a standup show at Yuk Yuk’s in Toronto, without letting Patterson in on the evening’s lineup.

“They called my name and I got out of the audience and talked off the top of my head for seven minutes,” Patterson says.

“It’s not the way I would suggest starting standup comedy, but it’s the way I started.

I certainly hope it’s not caught on tape anywhere. I wouldn’t want to try and recapture the magic.”

Aside from Patterson’s judgment of his debut, it was good enough that the club management asked him back. By the end of the school year, he returned to the stage.

“Whenever you can get a big laugh it’s a lot of adrenaline and if you get that early on in life, you don’t really need any other highs,” says Patterson, who was growing disillusioned with the process of obtaining a law degree at the time.

Eventually “the weird kid in class” who revelled in being a regular of London, Ont.’s citywide public speaking contests, put that early education to use and set off on a less traditional career trajectory.

“By the time you’ve travelled and eaten, often you’re in the hole. It’s a tough gig to make any money out of. When I hear people say: ‘I sorta might want to do comedy,’ I think they’re probably not going to succeed because you really have to want to do it,” he says. “I have more lawyer friends than any comedian in the world, but I decided to go a different way. It worked out. Took a lot longer than if I had gone into law, but I’m happy about it. I just feel at home doing it.”

The past decade has brought the kind of natural progression one could expect in the content of a comic’s act. The song parodies that would gain instant audience approval, (without the respect of his fellow comedians) have been exchanged for more original songs, now included in a set built around his own take on the day’s events,

with a few open letters between observations. Patterson’s gigs (Just for Laughs, The Debaters, Short Film Face-off) and accolades (Best Male Comic from the 2013 Canadian Comedy Awards) are less of a certainty in the business.

But there are at least a couple of guarantees: “The weird requests never stop coming in comedy,” says Patterson, while recounting an unfortunate corporate show that included an unimpressed guest destroying the vibe of the event, which happened to take place in a well-lit hotel dining room.

“For whatever reason, comedy just doesn’t get the respect of other forms. Sometimes you’re not on a stage, you’re just in the corner of the room and they’ll leave all the lights on so it’s like you’re performing in an aisle of Wal-Mart.”

Though he describes his This Is Not Debatable! show as edgier than what he’s able to say on national public radio, he still doesn’t like to venture into dirty comedy, preferring instead to “walk to the edge and not go over it.” Another trend he doesn’t mind bucking – discussing the age-old differences between sexes.

“Some comics don’t like to do it because they feel it’s an old premise to talk about men and women individually and how SUPPLIED PHOTO they interact with each other, but I find all Steve Patterson, host of CBC’s The Debaters, brings his solo standup show to the McPherson comics who don’t like to use certain topics Playhouse Nov. 17. because they’re overused, themselves are using overused topics,” he says. “You can make anything funny if you do it right and “Obviously it’s a cut-throat business. been fruitful thus far. for certain crowds you just have to be as You’re out there by yourself and there are “I don’t mind being known as The general as possible and not get too specific.” limited opportunities given to people and Debaters guy at all.

ext week’s season opener for the Blue Bridge Repertory Theatre will be a two-pronged affair.

Not only is the Victoria company launching its sixth season with True West, the Sam Shepard-penned tale of two estranged brothers who reconnect, it is presenting its conversion of the Roxy Theatre into a fullfledged live performance space.

“Our people are working round the clock to get the theatre ready,” says Brian Richmond, Blue Bridge’s artistic producing director. “We think it’ll be a great performance space.”

Converting a facility that has only known life as a movie house into a live performance venue has meant starting somewhat from scratch.

A stage had to be built, along with a backstage area; lighting racks and a sound system had to be installed, and from a comfort point of view, the washrooms had to be upgraded and expanded.

Blue Bridge invited guests in for a sneak peek Halloween night with the screening of The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Kicking things off with a production of one of the multi-talented Shepard’s best-known and respected plays makes sense for Blue Bridge, Richmond says.

“We’re a company that’s become known for productions of classic plays,” he says, adding Shepard’s writing work fits into that SuPPLieD PHOTO category. “But even Brian Richmond artistic though (True West) director of Blue Bridge was written in 1980, Repertory Theatre. it still has a contemporary edge to it.”

Richmond points out the script has attracted such Hollywood veteran actors as Philip Seymour Hoffman, John C. Reilly and Bruce Willis, and a young Gary Sinise and John Malkovich.

Victoria’s version stars Blue Bridge stalwart Jacob Richmond (Brian’s son) and newcomer Paul Fateux and is directed by Britt Small from Atomic Vaudeville.

hile Ma Miller’s Neighbourhood Pub and Restaurant is no newcomer to the local restaurant scene – they lay claim to B.C.’s oldest continuous liquor licence, after all – there’s plenty new going on at the favourite local establishment.

For starters, the focus is definitely on providing an all-ages experience, with excellent food rivalled only by the service, says owner Mike Holmes.

Holmes purchased the pub last year and set about bringing his considerable experience with the successful Tudor House Pub and Oak & Carriage to create the thriving, community-minded site Ma Miller’s could be once again.

The first step was listening to the comments neighbours had offered about their vision for the business.

Local families were tired of having to drive into downtown Langford to enjoy an evening out; they wanted a local spot where mom and dad, grandparents and kids could all enjoy a casual lunch or nice dinner, and Holmes has created just that in the restaurant side of Ma Miller’s.

At the same time, an evening out with friends on the pub side recalls the establishment’s long history. Located at the historic site of the original Goldstream Hotel, which once served the old wagon road to Cowichan, and later the E & N Railroad, today’s pub pays homage to one of the previous owners, Mary Miller, who with indomitable

spirit ran the business between 1910 and her retirement in 1946.

“People love having the local pub with a consistent, friendly, inviting environment where classic pub fare is the perfect accompaniment for your favourite brew,” Holmes says.

ADVENTURE ADVENTURE FITNESS FITNESS

Ensuring consistency in the food was key, and Holmes was pleased to welcome kitchen manager Evelyn Gilson, who has worked with Holmes since 1995.

The two brought in a pizza oven to create delicious, fresh-baked pies perfect for eating in or taking out.

“It was also our goal to create the perfect baron of beef, and I believe I can say we have OAKBAYBIKES.COM OAKBAYBIKES.COM oakbaybikes.com succeeded,” Holmes says.

Spartans dominate provincials The West Shorebased Victoria Spartans pummelled Prince George to be pee wee football provincial champions.

The local 9 through 11-year-olds faced the Northern B.C. champion Prince George Axemen at Hillside Stadium at Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops on Saturday and came away with a 44-0 victory.

The Spartans team won all six of its regular season games on Vancouver Island this fall but saved their most impressive victories for last. Starting with a 40-0 decision over cross-town rivals the Victoria Hitmen to win the Vancouver Island Championship and capping the season with the effort in Kamloops.

Cayden Brune was named the game’s most sportsmanlike player and William Gorchounov was recognized as the game MVP. Gorchounov scored a touchdown on the first play and the 22 boys and one girl on the squad had the game well in hand, with two touchdowns scored by the end of the first quarter.

Belmont bounces with volleyball playoff madness

Elk Lake athletes pull in national medals Seventeen-year-old wins junior bronze at national regatta Travis Paterson News staff

Bad weather limited the National Rowing Championships in Welland, Ont. last week but didn’t stop Elk Lake rowers from hitting the podium.

Sofia Donnecke, 17, relied on her time from a qualifying heat to earn her a bronze medal in the junior

(under-19) women’s singles.

“I’ll admit it was a disappointment,” said Donnecke, a Claremont Sports Institute athlete. “I was progressing as the fastest junior with a time that promised me a solid spot in the B final.”

As much as she appreciated racing against seniors and under-23 athletes, she ended up facing one too many of them in the quarterfinal, in her opinion, as she was bumped to the C/D semifinals instead of the A/B semis. Turns out it was all for naught as the regatta was disrupted by high winds and Donnecke didn’t

race again after the quarter.

“I never got to race the juniors who placed silver and gold (ahead of me), but the regatta experience held several valuable lessons for me that I will take onto next season,” Donnecke said. “It is great motivation to keep training to improve because directly comparing your times to those of the London Training Centre women... It’s not something infinitely out of reach.”
