News Gazette staff

Despite a drastic cut in resources this year, Fleet Diving Unit Pacific’s annual Turkey Run still managed to raise over $20,000 for the West Shore Christmas Hamper Fund.

The result means every family that receives a hamper this holiday season will also have a turkey on the table as part of their holiday feast.

The accomplishment is all the more impressive considering the unit, part of Canadian Forces Base Esquimalt, had a month to regroup after their regular main event, a 35-kilometre run through Langford and Colwood, was cancelled.

Fundraising plans hit a roadblock this year when West Shore RCMP was forced to pull their traffic support for the run due to budget restrictions, having allocated extra resources to security after separate targeted attacks saw two military members killed in Ottawa and Quebec in October.

COMMUNITY NEWS IN BRIEF

Backpack drop-off with Colwood yard waste

The City of Colwood’s branch drop-off program is taking more than just yard waste this month.

Colwood residents dropping off yard waste through the free program are also encouraged to drop off items for the Christmas Backpack Project, an initiative giving backpacks filled with donations to the homeless for Christmas. The initiative was started by Colwood resident Niki Ottosen in 2008.

Blankets, sleeping bags, toiletry items, ready-to-eat foods, underwear, long johns, warm winter socks, compact umbrellas, scarves, hats and toques are being collected at the municipal yard.

Acceptable yard waste includes branches of a maximum diameter of four inches, plus grass clippings and leaves. The next drop-off date is Dec. 20 from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 3300 Wishart Rd. The program is for Colwood residents only and drop off is free.

Spencer middle school principal Terry Honer, left, musical theatre director Sandy Webster-Worthy and producer Paul Thompson sit in the aging seats of the Isabelle Reader Theatre where they hope the community comes together to help them reupholster 200 seats.

Theatre chairs have seen hundreds of shows Community venue looks for support to upgrade seating Arnold Lim News staff

Three hundred purple and blue chairs line the floors of the Isabelle Reader Theatre.

Faded, stained and torn, they can no longer be cleaned, many no longer spring back up when empty and one seat has even fallen off the hinges completely, replaced by a makeshift plastic chair. The 300-seat theatre at Spencer middle school is clearly in need of a facelift.

“The chairs are in a sad state of disrepair, but when we looked at bids, the cost of repairing them all at once was just too great,” said musical theatre

director Sandy Webster-Worthy.

“But lots of people have connections at that theatre and the (Repair a Chair program) gives an opportunity to have tangible evidence of that connection.”

The program sells off each individual chair for $225, which is the cost to remove, reupholster, apply an engraved commemorative plaque and reinstall it. Webster-Worthy hopes the public steps up to purchase a piece of community, a piece her son, actor Calum Worthy, has already purchased.

“He was there from the time he was four until the time he graduated and he still flies up to emcee the shows here if the schedule permits for him,” she said of her son, a Disney-connected actor with numerous screen theatre credits. “It’s an example of someone who has a very successful film and television career and got their start

there. It’s significant that he doesn’t forget.”

Webster-Worthy hopes to see a lot more use of the 37-yearold theatre from groups that include Four Seasons Theatre, PACE Musical Theatre and numerous other dance, music and school programs for years to come.

“Structurally, it is a very good little theatre. (It’s) well designed, has a good lighting system and good sound system and good sight lines. The skeleton is there, it’s just old and tired,” she said. “It really is worth looking at bringing it a little more up to date … It’s a good space and I think new seats will make a difference.”

One hundred seats were reupholstered 10 years ago, but 200 others are badly in need of repair. Alvira Plett, who works in administration for the middle school, also hopes the commu-

nity will get involved in the project.

“Anyone looking for a commemoration for themselves or a loved one can help repair a chair for the (theatre)” she said.

“That stays on there for life and makes the theatre look better.”

The theatre is a source of pride for many children and families who grew up performing there and attending shows, said Plett. The goal is to complete the project by April.

“It gives people a sense of the history of the building, generally a lot of people have a lot of good memories in that theatre,” Webster-Worthy said. “The response (to the campaign) has been tremendous, because people have that connection.

It is not just a strict physical space, it is organic and breathing and brings the community together.” alim@goldstreamgazette.com

Spirits are fine at coffee house

The coffee house at the Historic Caleb Pike House in Highlands will be filled this Saturday (Dec. 13) with the sounds of Fine Spirits, a six-piece band covering danceable music ranging from classic rock to funk, R & B, pop and jazz.

The event starts with an open mic at 7:30 p.m. at 1589 Millstream Rd. Tickets are $5 with children under the age of 15 free.

Road closure approved in View Royal

Mayor and council approved the last step in a road closure and removal of highway dedication for part of Cheam Road, off of Chilco Road, in View Royal at a council meeting Tuesday.

The move was approved by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure on Nov. 14, and will relocate the road to accommodate a new residential development by Victoria’s Limona Group.

There are still administrative steps to be taken before any work is begun, said Kim Anema, Chief Administrative Officer for the Town of View of Royal, and he added that traffic should not be overly impacted.

Island business awards nomination deadline nears Nominations are pouring in for the 15th annual Vancouver Island Business Excellence Awards, set for Jan. 22 at the Westin Bear Mountain Resort in Langford.

“We shouldn’t be surprised at the level of interest and quality of nominations for these awards,” says Mark MacDonald, Victoria publisher of Business Examiner, which co-ordinates the event.

“Each year they’re outstanding. But this year, there seems to be a special, extra level at which the companies nominated are operating.”

MacDonald anticipates a record number of nominations this year, the deadline for which is Dec. 13. Nomination forms available at businessvi.ca/ events.

West Shore residents are encouraged to vote for their favourite merchants and service businesses.

There are 18 categories in the awards this year, ranging from automotive, construction/development and health services to insurance/financial, retail and technology. Business of the Year awards are up for grabs for companies with more than 50 employees and those under 50.

Hayes, Stewart Little & Company Chartered Accountants and RBC Royal Bank are Gold Sponsors of the event. For further information on the awards, contact MacDonald at 1-866-758-2684. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Witnesses sought in suspicious fire West Shore RCMP is asking for the public’s help solving a suspicious fire that occurred last month.

In the early morning of Saturday, Nov. 1, police and the Langford Fire Department responded to a call of a Kenworth dump truck on fire at a construction site on Walfred Road near Jacklin Road in Langford. The truck’s cab was destroyed.

Fire investigators determined the blaze was not a result of a mechanical condition.

Instead, the fleet diving unit held a barbecue at Millstream Village on Saturday in partnership with Everything Wine, with volunteers cycling on stationary bikes and others canvassing the crowd for donations. And on Sunday, nearly 70 people took to the track at Belmont secondary to do a relay style run, with participants switching off as they tired.

“We didn’t have that beginning-to-finish goal, so we had a group of people running all day,” said Walter Dubeau, one of the founders of the Turkey Run and a training officer for the diving unit.

“I’m very proud of the girls and guys at the fleet diving unit here. If I didn’t have all these people, this event wouldn’t happen.”

The community has been extremely supportive of the event since its inception five years ago, he added.

“We put it out there and everybody stepped up and got it going. We raise the money, but

ye Etiquette has been serving the Greater Victoria area for over 20 years and has quickly become the “Go-To” location for all of your eye care needs for the West Shore area. Carolin Roussel, owner and licensed optician was born and raised in Halifax N.S. After graduating from Bishop’s University with Honours, and meeting her husband Frederick she moved to Victoria where Frederick was already stationed. The move afforded Carolin the opportunity to become a licensed optician, working for over 15 years at Maycock Optical.

Always in pursuit of a challenge Carolin opened Eye Etiquette Optical Boutique in 2007 and has never looked back. One of her greatest passions is to see the look in children’s eyes when they see clearly for the first time. “Dr Gurpreet Leekha is our on-site optometrist and he excels at making clients feel at home, “ says Carolin,” He has been performing eye health examinations for over 20 years and is very passionate about eye health. He also does referrals for surgery, contact lens fittings, dry eye diagnosis and treatments. He loves to work with children; they can actually be seen as young as 6 months old. Not many people know that BC Medical will cover for an annual exam

for children up until the age of 19 years old.” And they also have great kids packages that include free lenses.

Eye Etiquette not only takes care of your eye health they also take care of all your “framing “ needs. They carry the latest and most up to date styles of frames for golfing, computer glasses and

time and time again, and “ says Carolin, “you would be surprised that our prices when comparing product for product are close to or cheaper than you think.”

To help with your Christmas shopping this year they are offering 10-60% off frames with complete purchase of frame and lenses. If sunglasses are on your wish list for this Christmas then look no further than Eye Etiquette they have an amazing collection of sunglasses for both prescription and nonprescription, and they are also discounted by up to 25%.

With all these fabulous offerings and a busy store it is hard to believe that Carolin still has time to give back to the Community. “Once again we are donating to the Fleet Diving Unit’s Annual Turkey Run which helps raise money for the local food bank. We also donated to the Annual Jingle Mingle in support of the BC Cancer Foundation which this year raised over $905,000. It feels good to give back” When asked what her message was for this season, “Christmas Cheer and Happy New Year from Our Place to Yours Thank you to all our valued customers for your continued support!”

Big cat stories abound in Metchosin

Wendy Mitchell

Metchosin’s Past Cougars, panthers, mountain lions – whatever you call them they are big scary cats.

The farmers of Metchosin have dealt with cougars and their appetites since arriving.

Most of the farms in Metchosin were “mixed” holdings, which carried dairy and beef cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and turkeys along with the horses and dogs to manage them. The most important and numerous were the sheep and the saying was, “if all else fails, the sheep will pay down the mortgage.”

Fluffy, plump sheep are like marshmallows on the cougars’ buffet table. The farmer might put bells on them so that when they ran he could grab his gun and dogs and hope to prevent a kill, but the terrain was rough and vast and the flocks not always within hearing range.

Every past and present farmer has cougar kill and hunting stories.

It’s now the government game warden that the farmer calls to track the killer, but for years the call would go to Joan Yates, the Cougar Queen. She would pile

after the Countdown!

OUR VIEW

Input needed on cold cases Choosing to avoid a scene or turn a blind eye to someone in need can have consequences.

Just ask the female cyclist who was attacked as she rode her bike near the busy intersection of Jacklin and Jenkins roads around 9 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 17.

An assailant looking to steal the rider’s backpack hit her in the back of the head, knocked her down on the roadway and stole her expensive mountain bike as well as the backpack.

As of this week, West Shore RCMP said the case has been closed due to a lack of new leads into the investigation.

This was not a simple break-in, or petty theft where the stolen goods are likely long gone. It was an unprovoked, violent assault of a person who was simply going about their business and travelling from point A to point B. We wonder what the police told this victim when they closed the case. That part of the scenario concerns us.

More troubling is the fact no one with good information connected with the RCMP with what they knew or saw, to the point where a decision was made to shift police resources elsewhere.

Being ignorant to what’s going on around us isn’t necessarily epidemic on the West Shore.

Last month, a man driving a BMW with stolen plates crashed head-on into a van and fled, leaving his badly injured teenage passenger behind. Onlookers gave chase, but the man escaped. Thanks to numerous tips from the public, however, RCMP continue to move forward on the case.

Information gained from the public also helped solve a vicious sexual assault that took place on the Galloping Goose earlier this year.

West Shore RCMP recently asked for help from the public with an investigation into a suspicious dump truck fire from Nov. 1. It’s just the latest example where the police have little to go on, but are expected to do something to bring closure for the victims of a crime.

The public has a role to play in maintaining a safe society. That includes paying attention when someone attempts or succeeds in disrupting ours or others’ sense of safety and security. Sometimes even seemingly insignificant information can make a difference.

For those who are afraid to get involved, information can be given anonymously to Crimestoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS or online at victoriacrimestoppers.com. Otherwise, call West Shore RCMP at 250-474-2264.

Do it for your community.

Understanding the gaps in the job market will help the province identify the educational investments that need to be made. The WestShore Chamber and CSPC are currently conducting an extensive employer survey in the weeks to come, so that we can ensure adequate stakeholder knowledge helps us shape our findings.

Focus groups will be held across the region along with stakeholder interviews and a comprehensive survey of businesses. We ask that you take a moment to identify the current needs of your business and think about what will be needed to make your business thrive in the future. Please tell us what your businesses looks like when we reach out to you in the months to come.

The Province of B.C. Labour Market Partnerships program is funding this project and the information will be shared with a variety of community stakeholders.

The WestShore Chamber hopes that we can count on the insight from businesses from across the region to help us better understand today’s labour landscape, and to ensure the labour needs of the future economy are met.

SNOW & ICE CLEARING REMINDERS SIDEWALKS AND ROADS With the winter season upon us and the possibility of snowfall and inclement weather, in order to ensure safety for pedestrians, we would like to remind View Royal residents and businesses of our Streets and Traffic Regulation Bylaw No. 609, 2005, which states that: “Every person being an occupant or owner of any property abutting or fronting upon a portion of a sidewalk shall cause such portion of the sidewalk to be cleared and kept clear of all snow, ice, dirt, litter and rubbish, and shall dispose of the same otherwise than leaving it upon the street.”

We encourage residents to use environmentally friendly ice melting products. Products that are corrosive are not acceptable as they can harm the environment and the sidewalks themselves.

We ask that you kindly help your elderly or handicapped neighbours who may need assistance with snow removal. The Town will make every effort to keep intersections, high-use bus stops and crosswalks clear of snow and ice.

In the event of a snowfall, we remind residents not to leave their vehicles parked on the travelled portion of the roads so that the snow plows can negotiate the roads and get them cleared as quickly as possible. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Please note that in the event of a heavy snowstorm or icy road conditions, our garbage collection contractor, Waste Management, may not be able to service certain customers due to safety or access reasons. Waste Management will collect any missed garbage as soon as they can safely do so. Please provide clear and safe access to garbage totes to ensure uninterrupted service.

quickly. With this in mind, Hyundai has backed away from the fluid approach to a more sculpted design that shares some styling cues from the top-of-range Hyundai Genesis. The front features a squarer grille opening, edgier bumper and front chin-spoiler. The base model is fitted with the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine has and 16-inch or 17-inch alloy wheels with LED daytime running lights, halogen headlamps or HID lights on the limited trim. The performance oriented 2.0 Turbo Sport model, seen above, comes with a two-toned front spoiler, 18-inch wheels, standard HID headlamps, quad exhaust tips and a lower diffuser on the rear bumper. The top trim levels of both the 2.4L and 2.0 Sport have a blacked-out section of the front grille which signifies the car comes with adaptive cruise control and a forward collision warning system.

Drive Both the 2.4L 4-cylinder engine and the 2.0L turbo have been carried over from the last model but they have been modified to produce better torque delivery and fuel economy. Hyundai has dropped the horsepower output from 198hp to 185hp in the 2.4L and limited the torque to 178hp. The 2.0L turbo also receives a horsepower drop from 274hp to 245hp and the torque drops from 268 lb.-ft to 160 lb.-ft.

Hyundai claims that the torque is lower in the RPM range and the fuel consumption is improved. The experience behind the wheel of the turbo is still very invigorating but not as hectic as the last model, it delivers a more usable driving experience. Power is smooth and refined; the turbo feels like a V6 without the accompanying fuel bill.

For a safe and secure ride in snow, ice, slush or whatever the cold weather condition, the Toyo Observe GSi5 will deliver exceptional traction when you need it most.

Designed and tested for our winters, it features the latest developments in sipe technology, an optimized tread pattern combined with Microbit studless tire technology you need to go. Toyo Tires – engineered for the real world.

Verdict Hyundai has done it again, delivering a very attractive car, full of features, at an attractive price. 2.4L models range from $23,999 to $32,999 in the top Limited trim. This model has most of the features found in the top 2.0L turbo but without the added power. The base 2.0L turbo starts at $30,999 and the top Ultimate model, seen here, is $34,799. Both the Limited and Ultimate get the forward collision warning system and lane departure safety features, plus they also get adaptive cruise control. For 2015, the Sonata is a big step foreword in design. The added safety features will be attractive and the constant pushing-of-the-envelope from Hyundai is welcome.

The Lowdown Power: 2.4L 185hp or 2.0L Turbo with 245hp Fill-up: 9.8L/6.7L/100km (city/highway) Sticker price: $23.999-$34,799 zack.spencer@drivewaybc.ca

Hello winter, my old friend

By Ian Harwood

The rain and windstorms have started and it won’t be long before the temperatures start to dip. Northern BC and the Interior have already experienced the cold.

At the coast, it seems every year the first snowfall creates chaos and adjusting to the conditions is a big challenge for many people. That said; driving in the winter season generally presents more problems than driving in other seasons wherever you call home. The vehicle and the driver must be prepared as well as possible to cope with these kinds of driving conditions.

In winter driving, braking and stopping the vehicle, of course, cause the most difficult moments. The tires play a critical role in stopping the vehicle, and they need even more care and attention than in the other seasons.

Most SUVs have a passenger car tire classification with M+S stamped on the sidewall, for Mud and Snow and are considered all-season tires. If it is not, your vehicle must be fitted with tires suitable for any type of climate, even the most severe ones.

In winter the pressure of the tire must also be controlled more frequently. This is because a reduction of the outside temperature causes a contraction of the air inside the tire, accelerating the normal and gradual pressure loss process by a value around 1-2 PSI for each 5° C decrease in temperature.

Contrary to popular opinion, a lower inflation pressure than normal does not

DrivewayBC.ca

improve tire traction on snow. It makes them much more liable to damage. Always remember that in any season and with any temperature, insufficient pressure is always the main cause of tire damage. Here is some advice to always bear in mind it is during winter driving conditions: Use brakes carefully. Brake early. Brake correctly.

It takes more time and distance to stop in icy conditions. Watch for slippery bridge decks, even when the rest of the pavement is in good condition. Bridge decks will ice up sooner than the pavement. Do not use the cruise control in winter conditions. Even roads that appear clear can have sudden slippery spots and the short touch of your brakes to deactivate the cruise control feature can cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Don't get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle. Remember that your four-wheel drive vehicle may help you get going quicker than other vehicles but it won’t help you stop any faster.

Many 4x4 vehicles are heavier than passenger vehicles and actually may take longer to stop. Don’t get overconfident in your 4x4 vehicle’s traction. Your 4x4 can lose traction as quickly as a two-wheel drive vehicle.

If your vehicle is equipped with anti-lock brakes, do not pump them in attempting to stop. The right way is to step on the brake pedal and steer against the slide. Look further ahead in traffic than you normally do. Actions by cars and trucks will alert you more quickly to problems and give you a split second extra time to react safely. ian.harwood@drivewaybc.ca

The 2015 Canadian Car of the Year competition moved in to its final phase with the announcement of the final fifteen “Best New” category winners by the Automobile Journalists Association of Canada, better known as AJAC. These category winners were chosen by 73 Canadian automotive journalists following a recently completed hands-on, five-day, backto-back evaluation drive event, known as “TestFest”, in Niagara Falls, Ontario. The testing is both detailed and a challenging process that generated 1,640 evaluation drives, approximately 106,405 data points and 500 category ballots.

"TestFest is the most intensive new vehicle evaluation process on the planet," said CCOTY Co-Chair, Gary Grant. “No other organization employs such stringent testing methods to determine their car of year award winners. Data driven and Canadian expertise: that’s what makes an AJAC winner”.

The 2015 Canadian Car of the Year “Best New” award winners are: City Car: Kia Soul EV Small Car (under $21k): Honda Fit

Gymnasts get into the Finnish rhythm Victoria Rhythmic Gymnastics club members meet the world next summer Arnold Lim News staff

Jinayah Nelson flicks her wrist, painting the air with a fluttering red ribbon.

The six-metre long fabric arcs over the 11 year old’s head like a rainbow, as she simultaneously kicks her left leg skyward and back to the ground. The young rhythmic gymnast resets for another try, as her mother, Tanya, looks on.

“Whether it’s my daughter, or one of the other girls … I am entranced every time I see it,” she said. “The joy they have keeps me watching every time.

I go to every show, I go to everything; I just love it.”

Jinayah is one of 20 local gymnasts who qualified at the 2014 national championships in Calgary for next summer’s World

Gymnaestrada 2015 in Helsinki, Finland.

Her club, Victoria Rhythmic Gymnastics, was the lone team in B.C. to qualify athletes for the event, running July 12 to 18.

With more than 25,000 gymnasts from over 50 countries participating, the Gymnaestrada is one of the largest gymnastics events in the world.

“It is extremely exciting and very inspirational, it shows how gymnastics can link people all around the world,” said club coach Barbara Bishop. “It’s exciting to travel and learn about new places and help develop youth to (draw) greater inspiration from the world.”

Having completed the first step – qualifying for the event – the next one, Bishop said, is to raise enough money to send the all-female team to Finland. Ranging in age from 10 to 50, the athletes are looking to demonstrate skills they’ve developed through training three or four days and more than 10 hours a week.

“They are very excited and it’s self-funded, so they are working hard to fundraise and get donations to get us all there,” Bishop

Love Our New Home

said. “It’s about $3,000 to $4,000 for each person to get there.”

Jinayah, a Grade 6 student at Lakewood elementary and a gymnast since she was four, is preparing herself physically and mentally for the trip of a lifetime, she said. She’s ready to take on the challenge of a string of bake sales, silent auctions, dance competitions and barbecues for the next six months to get there.

“I think it’s a really big opportunity to go and represent B.C and Canada,” she said. “It’s really cool how a little club from B.C. can (qualify).”

Every penny the team makes will go towards Finland so they can get there, she added.

The team’s next fundraising event and showcase happens tomorrow (Dec. 13), the 2014 Snowflake Rhythmic Gymnastics Performance and Invitational Competition. The event starts at 10:15 a.m. at Shoreline Community School at 2750 Shoreline Dr. and admission is by donation.

Belmont Bulldogs player Luke Baloran slices through a pair of Rams defenders on his way to the basket during a senior boys basketball game Tuesday at Mount Douglas.

Help Prevent Heart Attacks with Vitamin C and Lysine Powder W. Gifford-Jones, MD

W

hy is heart attack the number one killer in this country? Ninety-nine percent of doctors say it’s due to atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries) and that cholesterol lowering drugs are the primary way to treat it. But I suggest cardiologists have closed minds and are ignoring facts that could save thousands of North Americans from coronary attack.

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds coronary cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. Two-time Nobel Prize winner, Dr. Linus Pauling reported twenty-five years ago it takes a mere 10 milligrams to prevent scurvy, but several thousand to prevent heart attack.

Williams Stehbens, Professor of Anatomy at Wellington University in New Zealand, proved Pauling was right. Stebhens’ research showed that coronary arteries closest to the heart are under the greatest pressure. This causes collagen to fracture resulting in the formation of a blood clot and death.

I also believed the research of Pauling and Stehbens irrefutable. Now, the work of Dr. Bush has convinced me my decision was prudent.

But to take large doses of vitamin C and lysine requires swallowing many pills daily. It’s a tall order for those who dislike swallowing one pill. So for several years I’ve been trying to find a company that would manufacture a combination of vitamin C and lysine powder. Now Medi-C Plus™ is available at health food stores and specialty pharmacies.

The dosage for the Medi-C Plus combination is one flat scoop mixed with water or juice with breakfast and the evening meal. Those at greater risk should take one flat scoop three times a day.

This column does not recommend that those taking CLDs should stop them. That is a decision that can only be made by patients and doctors.

As for me – I bet my life on vitamin C and lysine!

I turned 90 this year.

Dr. Sydney Bush, an English researcher, has now proven that vitamin C can reverse atherosclerosis. Bush took retinal photographs, then started his patients on high doses of vitamin C and lysine. One year later additional pictures showed atherosclerosis had regressed in retinal arteries.

Sixteen years ago following my own coronary attack, cardiologists claimed it was sheer madness for me to refuse cholesterol-lowering drugs. Instead, I decided to take high doses of vitamin C plus lysine with breakfast and the evening meal.

I knew that Dr. Graveline, a physician and NASA astronaut, had twice developed transient global amnesia from taking cholesterol lowering drugs (CLD’s). I was also aware that patients have died from CLDs. Others have developed kidney, liver and muscle complications.

make up for in heart and desire.

“The guys have no fear at all,” Brown says. “They know part of our game is getting to the free throw line, so they take some hits inside.”

His team is now well into its 2014-15 season – they’re 1-1 in AAAA Tier 1 city league play and have one tournament under their belt – and is taking shape nicely, the coach says. Without a true post player to pass to under the basket, the team focuses more on quick ball movement and taking advantage of openings, he adds.

“We have five out and we can pretty much all handle the ball. We’re a strongly guard-oriented offence and all of them dribble well.”

Belmont was in a “rebuilding situation” last year after a couple of successful seasons, Brown says.

This year the team has four returnees, including Grade 12s Jack Wenstob at guard, Tobias Hayward (guard/wing) and Lucas Longstaff (forward). Forward Luke Baloran, who played for the Bulldogs as a Grade 10 last season, is the other and epitomizes the team’s hard-nosed style of play.

Leading the newcomers is Nathan Zaragoza, a nimble, slick-shooting point guard with tons of energy. He led all scorers with 21 points in Belmont’s 62-48 road win over the Rams at Mount Doug on Tuesday.

Baloran and Wenstob chipped in with 14 and 11 points, respectively, for Belmont.

The visitors trailed 24-17 at one point in the second quarter, then got rolling, closing out the half with a 16-4 run.

Brown said the team was experimenting with a new defence in the game, featuring a full-court press much of the time.

Looking forward, he knows there are tough games ahead. He acknowledges that all roads run through Oak Bay, both locally and on the Island, although the Cowichan Thunderbirds are “a huge team,” he says.

The Bulldogs actually led the Bays at halftime of their Dec. 2 contest at Belmont before fading in an 85-58 loss. The teams go head to head again next Thursday at Oak Bay. Brown, in his sixth season guiding the Bulldogs, says he’s “fairly optimistic” his team can be in the hunt for one of the two provincials berths up for grabs when the Island AAAA championships happen at Mount Doug next February.

“We are small, but I think it’ll be a pretty good season. The kids want it and they’re in the gym regularly working on it,” he says, adding that he looks forward to them being the surprise team of the year on the Island and breaking through to the B.C championships.

“I do think they have it in them to be one of those teams.”

The Bulldogs head to North Vancouver this weekend for the North Shore Invitational tournament. editor@goldstreamgazette.com

Families the focus at Christmas for Salvation Army Goal to make holidays special for family members of all ages Angela Cowan News staff

“A lot of people think of the younger kids, but the biggest gap that we see in toys is for teenagers up to 18 years old. They’re definitely a tricky demographic to buy for.”

– Keira Schindel, Salvation Army definitely a tricky demographic to buy for.”

Soft blankets, scarves or mitten sets and books are a great idea for the older age groups. The easiest way to cover off the teens is to drop off or mail gift cards to the Salvation Army’s Stan Hagen Centre for Families at 2695 Quadra St. in Victoria.

“Gift cards are a good way to do a catchall,” Schindel says. “It allows teens a little more choice in what they’re looking for.”

Cash donations are always welcome, as it gives the organization the funds to purchase needed supplies, such as warm socks or fresh food.

Just listen for the ringing bells to find a kettle around town, or for tech-savvy donors, text hope1005 to 45678 to donate Photo contributed $5 to the campaign.

Q:

A:

Is moving into a Retirement Community before Christmas a good idea? I am a financial planner and have a ‘busy family’ pushing me to encourage their Mom (my client) to move before Christmas rather than February. On one hand, I don’t feel it’s my place, yet on the other, that advice is often better ‘received’ from someone other than family.

The holiday season can be bitter sweet for many seniors. Depending upon memories past, existing family, friends, sense of community, death of loved one(s), coupled with all the hype and advertising, this time of year can result in feelings of loneliness and depression. Families may be torn between commitments with work, children, grandchildren vs spending quality time visiting their parents - who may live at a distance.

This often increases guilt for many children of seniors.

The beauty of living in an RC, especially during the holiday season is the myriad of wonderful activities planned throughout the season.

Memories are relived as residents share their traditional holidays past with peers who have gone through similar life circumstances. It’s a wonderful time of year to make new friends and new memories. The seasonal decorations, music, parties within the community, as well as outings to enjoy the lights and sounds of the season all contribute to a positive beginning in their new home - whether Christmas is a holiday/season they celebrate, or not.

I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and Seasons greetings! May 2015 overflow with peace of mind, good health and much happiness.

With Christmas just over two weeks away, many people are stocking up on goodies and braving crowds to get their shopping done.

But for low-income families, the challenges of the holiday season can often outweigh the excitement, and that’s where the Salvation Army comes in.

“Everyone has their own family traditions, but within society we usually think of that big Christmas dinner and then opening gifts,” says Keira Schindel, public relations and event co-ordinator. “Salvation Army really tries to make sure families get that, so they feel supported throughout the season.”

The food drives, kettle campaigns and toy shop are the major focal points for the charitable organization.

“We’re anticipating helping over 3,000 households with hampers,” Schindel says. “And we’ve already had 500 families through the toy shop.”

They’re still collecting donations for the toy shop, she adds, hoping to fill in the need for older gifts.

Holiday hijinks: memories of the chaos of the season Does this mother’s ode to Christmas sound familiar?

It’s time for bed, yes it’s really near; then in walks dad, wanting Christmas cheer.

Sometime later Ma’s finally in bed, sugar plums bump and crash in her ’Twas the night before Christhead. mas and all through the bedroom, Then there’s a cry, a it’s complete chaos and utter bedshriek, a scream; it’s two lam o’clock, one’s having a bad Ma in her ‘kerchief tries to pull Susan Lundy dream. in the reins, while sugar courses Mom pulls herself up, through the children’s veins.

The stockings are hung with moder- stumbles into the night, pats a small ate care, only one eggnog stain and a back until all is all right.

Then back to sleep, no more than an tiny tear.

Five cookies set out with Santa’s snack, hour, the other child calls that her belly have gently been nibbled and put right is “sour.”

Then it’s all quiet throughout the back.

The carpet is tangled with tinsel and house, till the dog starts scratching, the cat hair, a forgotten candy cane sticks cat finds a mouse.

And now dawn’s fingers stretch across fast to a chair.

But finally the moon rises over the the sky, the children stir and start to sigh.

“Wake up, wake up,” they bounce on lawn, the children slow and start to yawn.

She grabs those girls and snuggles in Boxes, bows, ribbons and bags, wrapclose, then they fell back to sleep until ping paper, tape, Christmas tags.

Mom peeks at the clock and then looks eye: it adds new meaning to St. Nick’s away, it’s getting late, tomorrow’s a big cry: “Happy Christmas to all,” and he’s so day.

Finally the boxes are under the tree, right, when he adds “and to all, a very good night.” ma’s so tired she can hardly see.

Beauty, dignity and the best value in Victoria.

Balancing business and family: Q&A Adele Fraser, human resources manager for Heart Pharmacy, strikes a balance between her work at the five-store company, and family time with her two sons.

Q

How do you find time for “you” outside of being a “mom”?

A

Now that my boys are older, I am able to steal moments away during the ‘busy’ business of being a mom – I run to the gym for a quick workout while they are at soccer or I get some work done in the afternoon while they play with friends. The boys split their time between me and their dad- so when they are with their dad I get more time for all the things I put aside when they are with me.

Q

What are you reading right now?

What do you read with your sons?

A

Right now I am reading We Are Water by Wally Lamb for my bookclub.

It’s is a great excuse to get together, once a month, to compare notes on life, love, kids, and work with a wonderful group of friends and encourages me to always have a good book on the go! The boys and I are big fans of Kenneth Oppell. The last book of his that we read was The Boundless. We have also read the Silverwing trilogy.

Q

What is your favourite family activity to share together?

A Almost anything that allows us to

spend time together. Playing piano, practicing archery, surfing, fishing, cooking, or watching movies with a roaring fire – my boys are adventurous and like to try it all. I feel blessed every day that I am their mom and able to join them on many of life’s adventures, some of which come unexpectedly when nothing is planned.

Q

The part of your day you look forward to the most?

A

The one I find the most satisfying is when I am just about to head to bed and I sneak in to my boys’ bedroom to give them one last goodnight kiss. They are usually asleep and warm in their beds and smell of little boy things when I get in close. To be at the end of one more day of spending time with and caring for my kids, taking a moment to enjoy the stillness and security of their peaceful sleep, for me, those are the ‘heart’ moments that make life rich and full.

Q: WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF NEW VS. EXISTING HOMES? Among the differences, new homes in development can offer opportunities for personalized touches, while pre-owned homes are already set. However, be aware that some developers can become cash-strapped so buying a home on spec can be a gamble, even if the developer is reputable.

On new builds, warranties usually begin from the closing date of the sale. Having a warranty to cover home and appliances can be a comforting thought for some new homeowners. New homes traditionally carry a higher price tag than a similarly outfitted pre-owned home.

Some buyers go for new construction to avoid headaches. Sellers are required to disclose known pre-exisiting problems, but that may not always happen.

A home inspection is important on used homes, but even then there are never guarantees.

On the flip side, a preowned home will sometimes offer a mature neighbourhood with large trees, established schools, parks and services and give the buyer more of a built-out feeling of community coming in.

Making beautiful music in Happy Valley The Piano offers luxury with options that make purchase affordable for many Don Descoteau News Gazette staff

Numerous new home options have sprung up along the Happy Valley Road corridor in recent years.

They’ve run the gamut, from larger homes designed for established families, to smaller units aimed at first-time home buyers.

Moji Shahab of Parsi Developments, well into construction on the first 10-home phase of The Piano, a cluster of single-family homes at the corner of Happy Valley and Marwood Avenue, wasn’t worried about pricing them on the higher end compared to other nearby projects. He and designer-wife Noushin Ashtiani wanted to create something special, a contemporary development without compromise.

“We never look at them as a competition, we are basically complementing their work because we need the variation here,” Shahab says of the neighbouring developments. “Each of us are catering to a different group of our community, with different products, like on the menu of a restaurant.”

Priced between $474,900 and $574,900, these modern-design homes feature such unique energy saving and comfort features as a four-foot, insulated heated crawlspace – no concrete slab on ground – and the use of fir plywood for the sub-floor and main flooring.

Other quality elements included in the design are stainless steel appliances, triple-glazed windows, “floating” fireplace box and bathroom cabinets, solid doors throughout, hard-wired technology centres

Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff

Sutton Group West Coast Realty Realtor Bob Starr, left, project manager John Berkes and developer Moji Shahab of Parsi Development Ltd. are proud of the modern multi-home project, The Piano, taking shape at Happy Valley Road and Marwood Avenue in Langford. and fully serviced and private rooftop patios.

“Our focus is on bringing something flexible; modern luxury at an affordable price,” Shahab says.

He acknowledges that affordable can mean something different to everyone.

Sutton Group West Coast Realty agent Bob Starr, who is marketing the properties along with Zahra Shahab – Moji’s sister – explains that the multiple rental options built into the homes have been a major selling feature for people looking at price and affordability.

Depending on how much space the owner needs for their own purposes, the configurations allow for either a one- or two-bedroom ground floor legal suite in the largest homes.

Total square footage in those units is 2,630. Mid-sized units, designed with a one-bedroom ground floor suite, come in at 2,260 sq. ft., while a few three-bedroom 1,400 sq. ft. units are also available.

Starr shows on a handout that a one-bedroom suite renting for $930 is worth about $200,000 of mortgage. A two-bedroom suite bringing in $1,160 of income bumps that up to $250,000, he says.

“That brings the total cost down to about the price of a condominium, where you’re paying strata fees as well,” he says.

The suites are built to the same standards of quality as the upper level, with triple-pane, floor-to-ceiling windows in the main rooms, extra thick insulated concrete walls

for more noise reduction, and solid wood doors.

The development attracted attention before construction began. Last spring Parsi placed an old piano on the corner of the property, across from Happy Valley elementary, which the public was encouraged to play as they went by.

In keeping with The Piano’s theme of “living in harmony” with the community, a sundial has been placed at the corner and a piano art feature will be placed there.

The company hopes to build dozens more homes on an adjacent property on Happy Valley Road.

This first phase of luxury, two units from which are sold, will give Parsi a good sense of whether The Piano is in tune with the market.

Spacious 3 bedroom ranchers. Located at 2425 Fleetwood Crt. 1,500-1,800 sq.ft. Heat Pumps. Double Garages. Crawlspaces. Large Rear Patios.
