Dale Davies is surrounded by grandsons Jacob, 3, Tristen, 8, and Linden, 7, and a pair of massive balls of copper wire in his workshop. The group is attempting to create the world’s largest snowman made entirely using the metal. They’re primarily stripping the copper out of old strings of Christmas lights.
From recycling project to record attemptHoliday fun for the entire family that lasts all year
Katherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff
A dim light casts a glow over the plywood walls of a West Shore work-
shop. Dale Davies stands in the yellow light, a black leather vest providing little warmth over his blue t-shirt in the cool fall air. But his eyes sparkle like twinkle lights as he pulls back the lid on a tub to reveal the brightly coloured bulbs it contains. He points to several more neatly stacked on shelves.
He collects discarded strings of lights, the kind that fill garages col-
lecting dust and forming knots that many have long since abandoned any attempts at untangling. Davies col-lects these old lights, carefully break-ing them down and recycling the pieces.
Some would call it a labour of love. Davies laughs and calls it a lot of work.
Colwood hires a permanent boss for cityEconomical nationwide search yields dozens of applicants
Katherine EngqvistNews Gazette staff
The City of Colwood has hired a new chief administra-tive officer, its fifth permanent or interim CAO since 2012.
Ian Howat replaces interim CAO Gary Nason, who has been serving in the position since April 1. Howat takes up the post on Dec. 7 after finishing his duties as general manager of corporate services with the City of Nanaimo.
He has also served as chief administrator for three other Vancouver Island communities: Ucluelet, Tofino and Lantzville.
Howat was selected after a nationwide recruitment process which began in May. Rather than contracting an external company to vet potential applicants, the City opted to have Nason and another retired CAO co-ordi-nate the search.
Colwood Mayor Carol Hamilton said taking that step saved the City a considerable amount of money. She estimated a professional head-hunting firm would have charged roughly $30,000, but by keeping it in house they spent an estimated $5,000 on the project.
The search yielded more than 90 applicants.“It was a pretty respectful showing,” Hamilton said,
adding that many of the applicants were known to staff. “You’re getting built-in references. Coming out of this we’ve got a pretty good sense.”
She said a lot more than just experience goes into selecting a successful applicant. “We’re really looking to find … someone to fit the family.”
Hamilton said Howat will make a good addition to the team. “Council has plans, the City has plans – we’re try-ing to mesh those plans. It’s really going to be a good partnership.”
While Hamilton couldn’t disclose details of Howat’s contract, she did say they expect to get “some good years of service” from him. “It’s good to keep the train on the tracks,” she said. She also noted his salary is consistent with comparably sized cities in the region.

Please support the 2015 Poppy CampaignREMEMBRANCE DAY – NOVEMBER 11TH
Poppy Campaign DONATIONS are placed in public trust funds. Campaign
donations received last years exceeded $80,000.Let’s try to surpass that! Some of the many ways these funds were used to improve life for people
living in the Western Communities include:
Advertising Feature
THE West Shore Poppy Fund, in an effort to continue their cost-savings on mail and production costs, will not be mailing out the DONATION FORMS during this year’s 2015 POPPY CAMPAIGN. Instead we ask you to PLEASE CUT OUT the FORM below or log onto the Legion website at www.RCL91.ca and click on “DONATE”. We’ll do the rest!
What Does The Poppy Fund Do?
1. It cares for the emergency welfare of Western Communities Ex-Service personnel, widows and their dependents, in situations
caused by unforeseen circumstances.THEY RECEIVE IMMEDIATE
ASSISTANCE FOR FOOD, RENT, CLOTHING, MEDICAL AND
DENTAL, HYDRO, HEATING OIL AND TRANSPORTATION.
2. It can assist with the construction, maintenance, repair and furnishing of Social Housing, including Long Term Care facilities for elderly and disabled persons.
3. It can allot funds for community medical appliances and research.
4. It provides a remembrance opportunity, through your donation, to say: “ YES, I CARE TOO”
The Poppy Our Silent Reminder -– The Reminder of Sacri� ce On November 11th, Canadians all across the country will stop to remember the men and womenkilled in wars. That is why November 11th is called Remembrance Day. But what about those who can’t remember Canada’s wars? Let’s take a look at the theme: “If you can’t remember..think....What does this really mean? In the � rst place, there are more Canadians today than at any time in this century who cannot remember war. Imperfect though the peace has been, it is much better than war. So when we THINK about the poppy, we might be reminded that Canadians died liberating Europe created a World a little better than the one they knew. We might also THINK of where Canadians � rst found poppies. In the First World War, the soldiers noticed that the red poppies often grew over the graves of their friends. They remembered this later when peace
came. Another thing to THINK about is that by the time thousands of young Canadians went to war, Europe was in slavery. They died liberating millions of people. They also died so that we here today could continue to enjoy the freedom which we have. They died so that your home would be safe; so that you would be given the chance to attend schools and churches of your choice. They also died for your right to make friendships with whomever or wherever you pleased. You might THINK about this for a moment: their desire that you live in peace and freedom was more important to them than life itself. But the poppy is not all in the past. It has a lot to do with you and the future. The poppy asks you to THINK of how you can work for peace and a better country. It invites you to THINK about your freedom. Therefore the poppy � nally asks you to THINK about your responsibility, be it in your classroom, your home, your community or your profession. The poppy urges you to use peace to help mankind: to promote a more lasting peace, understanding above all the dignity of man everywhere. The Canadians who died believed in a better future. It is up to YOU to work for this future. If you do, you will have remembered.... Every year at this time, we as a nation pause to honour the sacri� ces and achievements of those who have served Canada, those who have returned home from service and, sadly, those who did not. Wear a Poppy and let’s all help to educate and pass on this tradition of remembrance to our future generations. Remember, November 11th at the Langford Cenotaph, bring your children, and take a moment to re� ect on what it means and the sacri� ce it honours.
Making a difference within our communities is another way we are able to stand up and be counted. Special Use Expenditures gives the Legion the opportunity to reach out and make the community that We live in a better place. It is who we are. It is what we do. It is why Legionnaires and their Branches are often the centre of so many communities within our Command.
We are always getting requests for � nancial assistance. The only way we can achieve the goals we set forth every year is to get as much help from OUR COMMUNITY and of course OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP. So when a Legionnaire arrives at your business door, or you see them offering poppies at various West Shore locations, PLEASE GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT. And if there is a West Shore business that has not been approached and wishes to assist by having a poppy tray at their location, PLEASE CONTACT the LEGION POPPY OFFICE. This year the Poppy Campaign will start on Friday October 30 and end on November 10th. As every year we desperately need your help manning various locations. We ask for two-hour shifts. The more volunteers we have the less for multiple shifts. Most of our volunteers are the same people who help every year. We would like to see more new faces helping this year. This year we need volunteers more than ever. As always the cadets will be there to help us, but WE NEED YOU TO HELP US HELP OTHERS. And, for OUR LEGION MEMBERSHIP, We need your help. Langford Branch No.91 and the Poppy Campaign Committee would like to ask YOU to step forward and VOLUNTEER for this year’s campaign. We cannot support our Veterans and their dependants, as well as the many community groups, without a successful POPPY DRIVE. If you want to VOLUNTEER, leave your name and phone number at the Branch Of� ce at 250-478-1828. PLEASE VOLUNTEER.
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

Hockey ref sets unique goals
Women leaders gather at RRU for panel talk
With Liberal Prime Minister-des-ignate Justin Trudeau vowing to appoint a cabinet of equal gender balance, Royal Roads University is hosting a discussion on how women can play important roles in creating more inclusive leadership.
This Friday’s (Oct. 30) panel dis-cussion, Women Leading Change: Authentic Experience in Action, runs from 3 to 5 p.m and will be moderated by Jennifer Walinga, director of RRU’s School of Com-munication and Culture. Attendees will hear how women’s experience can shape leadership practices and redefine measures of success.
The event features a keynote address by Susan R. Madsen, the Orin R. Woodbury Professor of Leadership and Ethics at Utah Valley University. Her speech is titled, The lived experience of women leaders: An authentic dialogue.
Panelists include Mary Collins, director of the Secretariat of the B.C. Healthy Living Alliance; Victoria-Bea-con Hill MLA and former B.C. NDP leader Carole James; Andrea Kerr, student representative on the Royal Roads board of governors, and Mari-lyn Taylor, professor in the School of Leadership Studies at RRU.
The free talk is open to the public and takes place in the RRU Centre for Dialogue, Learning and Innova-tion. For those unable to attend, it will be broadcast at livestream.com/royalroads/events/4405020.
For more information, find the talk listed under royalroads.ca/events.

Belmont secondary student targets players for fundraiserPirjo RaitsSpecial to the Gazette
Pink on your skate laces or stick tape is not a sign of weakness, but a definite sign of strength of character.
For some junior hockey players on the West Shore, wearing pink is also a show of support for Matt Wil-liams and his “Bingos for Bucks” campaign, which aims to raise funds for cancer research.
Williams, a Grade 12 student at Belmont secondary, is hoping every student at the school donates $1 to the campaign, which runs until the end of October.
A cancer survivor who was diagnosed with leuke-mia in 2009, Williams is in remission now, but knows cancer touches almost everyone.
“This was something easy for me to get behind,” he said. “I think all of us on the board with names in pink are affected by a friend or family member.”
Williams is a junior hockey official and with his con-nections in junior and minor hockey, he is asking for-wards and defencemen to donate $10 for every goal or assist. His goal is to raise $1,258 from the school stu-dents. With the hockey players he has already raised around $300. It’s a tough grind though.
“We’re making a push here,” he said. “I’ll keep push-ing, I set a goal and there is still 10 days to reach it.”
He said many students don’t have any extra cash, so he encourages them to go out to the games and sup-port and cheer the players on.
All of the money raised will go to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation.
When Williams graduates he hopes to go into crimi-nology and become a police officer, or more specifi-cally a member of the emergency response team for the RCMP.

A post-race party is being held in the ballroom at the Westin Bear Mountain Golf Resort and Spa. There’ll be entertainment, food, games, draw prizes and giveaways for the best costume. Tickets are $50 and include two drinks and appetizers.
But don’t forget to end the day with a bang at Bear Moun-tain. The annual fireworks show starts at 8 p.m., complete with Monster VIP viewing area.
Also on Saturday, West Shore Parks and Recreation is hosting a Halloween howl skate at the Juan de Fuca arena from 2:45 to 3:45 p.m. Regular admission rates apply and the wearing of costumes is encouraged.
Meanwhile, area fire depart-
ments are hosting their annual Halloween bonfires on Saturday evening.
The District of Highlands’ event happens at the West Fire Hall, 1564 Millstream Rd., start-ing at 7 p.m. and creatures from all walks of life are welcomed.
In View Royal, the Public Safety Building at 333 Island Hwy. is the place to be Halloween night from 6 to 10 p.m., with a haunted house, hot dogs, hot drinks and candy up for grabs.
If you’re in the Colwood area, the Colwood Volunteer Firefight-ers Association is hosting a com-munity event at the hall, 3215 Metchosin Rd. Come join the fun, which includes a costume parade with music and prizes.
There’s also free hot dogs, hot chocolate and treats. This event kicks off around 6:30 p.m. and wraps up around 9.
Not to be outdone, Langford Fire Rescue is hosting open houses at all three of its stations: 2625 Peatt Rd., 3205 Happy Val-ley Rd. and 2872 Sooke Lake Rd., with plenty of treats for trick or treaters of all ages between 5:30 and 8:30 p.m.
Metchosin also invites resi-dents out to enjoy a bonfire with a bang, with a fireworks show, live entertainment, carnival games and lots to nibble. It all happens at the Metchosin fire hall, 4440 Happy Valley Rd. from 6 to 9 [email protected]

Backyard banditsA family of racoons peek out of their hiding spot in a ditch at the corner of Stornoway Drive and Cairndale Road in Colwood. The three some watched passing vehicles carefully before dashing to a new hiding place.
Tyler Fong on the lam for nearly three weeks
A 17-day manhunt for an inmate who escaped custody at Victoria General Hospital earlier this month ended on the mainland last week when Tyler Fong was re-arrested in Surrey.
Fong, 32, incarcerated at the Vancouver Island Regional Correctional Centre, faces new charges
relating to his latest actions, including escaping lawful custody, assaulting a peace officer, two counts of mischief, theft of a vehicle and danger-ous operation of a vehicle.
West Shore RCMP learned of Fong’s where-abouts and co-ordinated a response with Surrey RCMP officers, including the Auto Crime Unit. He was taken into custody after a brief foot pursuit that ended Wednesday afternoon (Oct. 21) in the 10200 block of King George Blvd.
Fong initially escaped while on an escorted visit to VGH for treatment on Oct. 4.

“It’s all stripped by hand,” he says as he stands in his work-shop besides two large spools of copper wire salvaged from these strings.
If he succeeds in collecting enough, Davies and his grand-sons will try to build the world’s largest snowman made of cop-per wire.
“Where else in Victo-ria can you build a snow-man?” While he says no current record for such a creation exists in the Guinness World Records book, he figures it will take them at least another year to collect and roll enough wire to have the record added.
“It was just to see how much I could get,” he says. “You might as well shoot for the stars.”
But now the project has taken on a whole new level. “A lot of these lights, especially the old school ones, were going to the dump.” He shakes his head as he speaks. “This is the stuff they can’t recycle (as is).” Concerned about how many strings were ending up in the dump, he began focusing his efforts on collecting them, breaking them down and recycling the pieces.
He’s created hand-shaped blocks with grooves to help strip the plastic casing away from the precious copper wires that he’s outfitted his shop with. When he has enough for a load, he takes all of the discarded bits and bulbs to the dump to be recycled. His first trip was a bit of a learning experience, he says with a laugh. Upon his arrival, staff informed him that the roughly 30 garbage bags he had brought needed to be sorted, which was quite the process.
Now he’s properly prepared
when he makes that trip, sort-ing as he goes. But it’s not just strands of lights he collects, he’ll take almost anything containing the precious wire, as long as it’s not too small or too big.
“My fingers pray for extension cords.” He laughs as he wrings his hands. He hasn’t kept count, but estimates 500 strings at least have gone through the process so far.
It’s a process that could also be considered therapy for Davies, who has had six back surgeries and suffers from chronic pain. “This just keeps my mind busy and off the pain … Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn’t.”
When he’s been on his feet for too long, he takes his work inside. He takes his tub filled with shorter pieces and sits or lays in front of the television while he painstakingly splices the bits and pieces into one long line. This part of the operation requires a technique compara-ble to braiding. His fingers work feverishly over the thin wires, twisting them upwards and over, tying a knot and braiding some more.
Previously spooled lines sit glistening in the dim shop light before being added to the two large copper balls resting on a small wooden table. The heavier of the two, Davies estimates, weighs almost 300 pounds while the smaller one tips the scales at just over 100 lbs.
Under the table, which sags slightly in the middle with the weight, are two more tubs filled with copper fluff. This metal-lic material is actually pieces of wire too small to be spliced together – their texture gives the illusion of copper-coloured hay. Davies hasn’t quite figured out what to do with these bits, but he’s working on a way to incor-porate them into the snowman’s
arms.He predicts the final
result will weigh around 1,100 lbs. “But then I for-got the hat,” he says with a grin. Every snowman has to have a hat.
Davies’ grandsons Tristen, 8, Linden, 7, and Jacob, 3, come run-ning into the shop, pos-sibly more excited to see what progress has been
made than their grandfather. The cousins bounce excitedly as they examine the balls and shriek with joy when they dis-cover pennies inlaid to keep tension in the wire.
“I’m the one that rolls them,” Tristen says, looking particu-larly proud of himself. “This is the one I started.” He points to the bigger of the two balls. “It’s hard.”
The boys love spending time with their grandfather and are excited about “being in the Guin-ness Book of World Records,” the youngster Tristen. Another grandson, Jace, 10, who wasn’t there on that particular day, is also lending a hand in the fam-ily’s project.
Even if they don’t succeed in creating a record snowman, the attempt will be worth more than the weight of copper.

EDITORIALOUR VIEW
The scandal of the week at the B.C. legislature is what could be termed “delete-gate.”
Primarily, it revolves around 36 pages of government emails that the NDP opposition has been trying for a year to get under freedom of information legislation. They relate to a series of meetings between transportation ministry bureaucrats and remote communities along Highway 16, between Prince George and Prince Rupert.
If you want all of the accusations about government secrecy and alleged cover-ups, I invite you to read “Access Denied,” the latest report of the Information and Privacy Commissioner at www.oipc.bc.ca, and transcripts of question period in the legislature this week.
What you won’t find there is much discussion of the actual problem, which is a shortage of safe and practical transportation options in and out of these communities, most of which are federally funded aboriginal reserves far from the region’s only highway.
What we have seen for decades is a dramatic media narrative about one or more serial killers preying on vulnerable women hitch-hiking along what is now known world-wide as the Highway of Tears.
The Wikipedia entry for Highway of Tears gives a sense of the credibility of this narrative.
It begins with the unsolved murder of Gloria Moody, last seen leaving a bar in Williams Lake in
1969. That’s a long way from Highway 16.
Then there was Monica Jack, killed in 1978. DNA technology resulted in a charge finally being laid last year against a known serial rapist. This was even further away, near Merritt, and she was a 12-year-old riding her bike.
Other cases involve street prostitution in and around Prince George,
an urban hub for a large aboriginal population similar to Regina and Winnipeg.
Discussion in Victoria focuses on urban notions of increased transit, in places where existing service may be under-used. Nationally, the narrative is that deep-seated social problems within aboriginal communities would somehow be solved by a lawyer-heavy judicial inquiry that looks only at tragedies involving women.
If you drive Highway 16 today, you will see fading billboards pleading for information on the disappearance of Madison Scott. She was last seen in the early hours of May 28, 2011, after a grad party in the woods outside Vanderhoof. Her truck and tent were still there. Again, nothing to do with hitch-hiking, but at least it was near Highway 16.
Here’s something else you
won’t often hear in the Highway of Tears melodrama. There is commercial bus service on Highway 16, although Greyhound reduced frequency in 2013 as it struggles with low ridership and high costs.
BC Transit also operates bus service to some remote communities like Kispiox and Gitsegukla, connecting them south to Smithers. But B.C. Transit requires local governments and riders to cover about half the cost. Indian Act reserves don’t pay.
North Coast MLA Jennifer Rice has noted that what people in remote communities ask for is a way to get back and forth for shopping and medical appointments.
Yes, shopping is an important need, as those who live in remote areas can tell you. And Northern Health already runs a bus service for remote residents who need medical care.
Rice’s observations at least move us toward practical solutions, although most of her effort seems directed towards political blame.
I hope the infamous 36 pages of emails are eventually released, since they were not deleted but rather excluded from release. They may bring the discussion back to the actual public service issue, which is what realistic transportation options exist for these communities.

Realities around Highway of Tears
Liberal cabineta good test case
Prime minister-elect Justin Trudeau has vowed to have an equal gender split in his cabinet, to be announced next week.
That declaration plays well into this Friday’s (Oct. 30) panel discussion at Royal Roads University, entitled Women Leading Change, seemingly a play on the “Real Change” campaign slogan of Trudeau’s Liberals. The panelists and keynote speaker, all women, have each held positions of leadership and most have studied the topic at length. We look forward to hearing the tone of the discussion and how they believe life experiences can help women shape leadership practises, including those in government, moving forward.
As expected, not everyone was thrilled with Trudeau’s decision to create an even split in his cabinet. On social media, some criticized him, pointing out that it may be irresponsible to not install the best candidate for each post. Historically, as female political veterans can attest, that hasn’t always happened as the old boys’ network has tended to dominate.
The numbers from last week’s federal election were moderately encouraging. Eighty-eight women were elected, or 26 per cent of the total of 338 seats. While that’s 12 more female voices in the house – representing about 40 per cent of the 30 new ridings – it’s barely higher than the 25 per cent in the previous Parliament.
Nonetheless, it was good to see more women running. Among the big three parties, the NDP had the closest to a gender split. Of its 338 candidates, 146 (43.2 per cent) were women, and 18 of its elected MPs (40.9 per cent) are female. The Liberals will have the most women, 50, in Parliament, or roughly 27 per cent of their total of 184 MPs. The Conservatives lagged well behind, with just 17.2 per cent of its 99 seats (17 MPs) to be held by women.
Balancing the cabinet is a bold move by Trudeau and makes a statement unparalleled in Canadian federal government history. In doing so he is showing faith and trust in the abilities of women who might not otherwise have the opportunity to show what they can do.
We’re confident these newcomers will shine when put in positions of leadership, even under the harsh glare of the old guard.

I will assume the words in the “Our View” in the Oct. 23 Gazette entitled “Controversial coverage” are sincere.
I believe that the author believes sleep is lost by some of your writers and editors over the use of the correct turn of phrase, and appropriately balanced reporting, and that your writers “pour your hearts out” for your readers to maintain trust.
I will also accept that you did not sell the full front page of any Black Press publications to candidates or parties during the election in order to separate your publication from any perception of bias based upon party affiliations.
And finally, I will accept that the editorial page of your papers is not the front page and often contains opinions, rather than facts.
However, I don’t know if it is just me, but it does give me considerable pause each time I happen to glance at Tom Fletcher’s B.C. Views column (which I do less and less in recent years) and I find his one-sided, biased, anti-NDP, anti-union, right wing, pro-business, pro-fossil fuel rhetoric.
Yes, his column appears on the editorial page. But at the end of each column his credentials indicate he is “legislative reporter” for Black Press.
How can anything he writes on other pages of Black Press publications possibly be taken as non-biased reporting, when his columns are filled with vitriolic, biased points of view that have little to do with reporting, and often enough, questionably to do with reality?

Loss of Belmont skate park lamentedOct. 13 was a sad day for the
youth and young families on the West Shore who have enjoyed the skateboard park for many years.
This park beside the old Belmont school has provided many years of challenge, entertainment and a place for the kids to hang out and socialize.
Today, as we drove by, we saw machines breaking up the concrete and demolishing the park.
Later, we saw youth standing amidst the rubble looking like they were in the middle of a war zone, searching for something precious to salvage.
What a shame this skateboard park wasn’t saved until a new one could be built. I wonder why there was such a hurry to get rid of it and why it wasn’t incorporated into the plan for this commercial area. Parks and places for our kids to play go well with shopping malls.

Hockey, fair and other perks await an ailing Hannah DayProviding some happiness for terminal cancer patient aim of dream Toronto tripArnold LimNews Gazette staff
Toronto has a very special guest this week.
Canada’s Wonderland theme park, Ripley’s Aquarium of Canada, the Toronto Zoo and even the Toronto Maple Leafs will get a visit from terminally ill cancer patient Hannah Day. With the assistance of the Help Fill a Dream Foundation, the six-year-old West Shore resident will enjoy a holiday that the non-profit organization’s board hopes she won’t soon forget.
“Our mandate is to help chil-dren with life-threatening ill-nesses and Hannah Day fits right in,” said board vice-presi-dent Jaime Adams. “We’ve had the dream request and it was approved for quite a while, but it has been up to the doctor as to whether she could travel.”
The trip to Toronto was booked then cancelled twice already because the young girl, whose rare chemotherapy-induced leukemia was deemed terminal in May, became ill again. Without medical clear-ance to go, Day and her family waited patiently for the right time – doctors gave them the green light Friday.
“Her mouth dropped wide open; she was in shock,” Brooke Ervin said last week, describing her daughter hearing the news. “It dropped more open when she (found out) she would see the Maple Leafs – because she’s a big hockey fan.”
Ervin said Hannah’s favourite thing in the entire world is the fair. “And she was shocked she would go to one of the biggest in Canada.”
Help Fill a Dream Founda-tion covered the cost of airfare, included an additional $840
for incidental travel costs, and provided $200 for gifts for Han-nah, who has battled cancer for most of her young life. She was scheduled to receive more treatment on the day the family flew to Toronto, but Ervin said they decided instead to take the opportunity for a family vaca-tion as a way to preserve Han-nah’s happiness.
“This was our last chance to go on this trip because Wonder-land closes on Oct. 31. So we put all treatment on hold …,” Ervin said.
“At this point in time we prefer quality of life. She has no clue (about her diagnosis) and talked about her birthday next year. It is hard for me to hear those things … and as you know treat-ment is no longer working for us. We prefer to give her this special gift that she deserves.”
While her weight has dropped to 27 pounds, Hannah’s spirits are high, Ervin said, and it is hard to tell how ill she is based on how she runs and plays as if she is healthy.
Ervin voiced gratefulness to the foundation, which Adams said is here to help local families.
“Their family is going through significant turmoil financially and this will take everything away for a week and allow them to be a family and enjoy every moment of this,” she said. “(We want to) bring a smile to Hannah’s face and take away the moments of being scared, moments at the hospital, and let them be a family again.”[email protected]

Mystery brewColwood resident Glenda Caloren points to an upside-down beer bottle wedged tightly in the centre of a tree stump in front of her home. Caloren had the 15-foot cedar taken down recently and discovered the apparently empty bottle had been encased by the trunks of the tree, which had grown around it over the decades. Having lived in the house for 30 years, she figures the bottle has been there longer than that. She has no immediate plans to dislodge the bottle and investigate further, although if the stump gets removed, Caloran said, she might at least know what brand of beer it was.Don Descoteau/News Gazette staff
EcoStar Awards broaden their reachInnovation in sustainability recognized with relaunch of program
The new Vancouver Island EcoStar Awards promise a celebration of local leaders in sustainability.
The event was inspired by the Capital Regional District’s EcoStar Awards, which ran from 2004 to 2013 and recognized action in water stewardship, greenhouse gas reduction, waste management and other categories. The 2015 EcoStar Awards, to be held Nov. 10 at the Inn at Laurel Point on Victoria’s harbour, will also highlight the efforts of businesses, organizations and individuals in the areas of Manufacturing Excellence, Leadership in Construction, Greenest Restaurant, Greenest Office and more. In total, there are 15 awards to be handed out.
Communities and businesses on the West Shore have been recognized for sustainability in the past: Royal Bay Bakery installed solar panels on its roof, Farley Martin Notaries Public built a green office in Langford and was certified by the Vancouver Island Green Business Program, as are Cascadia
liquor stores, which gained the highest level of the certification program for their work to conserve energy, reduce waste and support the community.
Often, the leadership in our communities comes from local businesses, individuals and non-profits. The grassroots is where innovation starts and new ways of doing things develops.
Some local businesses, such as Cascadia, show that you can recycle or compost nearly all of your waste. Royal Bay Bakery has proven that solar energy actually does have a good return on investment, and Habitat for Humanity’s reSTORE is operating a business that both recycles construction waste and helps provide homes for those in need.
The EcoStar Awards recognizes and celebrates a proactive approach to protecting the natural environment and increasing the well being of our communities by changing the way we work and live.
You can learn more about the Vancouver Island EcoStar Awards or purchase tickets for the gala dinner (on from 6 to 9 p.m) at ecostarawards.com.

The board says it allIn front of a wall listing the necessary attributes for success, Canadian national kettlebell sport team members Christine Broadhead (from right) and Corissa Sivorot hoist 16-kilogram weights in the long-cycle (10 minutes) snatch lift event at a local competition and fundraiser in Colwood on Sunday. Sivorot managed a best-ever 191 reps while Broadhead lifted the bell 172 times, also a personal best. Sarah Jolliffe, on the opposite end, was using a 20-kg weight in the clean and jerk-lift long cycle and recorded 98 reps. The national team is heading to Dublin for the world championships next month.
Steve Sinclair’s name omitted from Hall story
A story on the Greater Victoria Sports Hall of Fame 2015 induc-tion gala, published in the Oct. 23 Gazette, was unfortunately missing the name of a new Hall member.
The sentence should have read, ‘Retired left-handed professional baseball pitcher Steve Sinclair, who spent brief stretches with the Toronto Blue Jays and Seattle Mariners, after he thought his pro career was over, had a vocal support group at the gala.’
We apologize for the omission.

Has my vision changed?How frequently should one “change ones glasses?”
There is no hard and fast answer to this question. Cer-tain people are able to keep the same prescription for two or three years, sometimes longer, while others re-quire more frequent changes. Nearsighted children and adults between age forty and sixty, usually fall into the latter category, often requiring new prescriptions annu-ally for several years.
Typically, most adults will require lenses for reading and near work, when they reach their early forties. If distance vision is good without glasses, “readers” are often all that is necessary; but if distance correction is needed, bifocals or progressive lenses are most com-monly prescribed. The reading prescription usually changes about every one to two years until age sixty or so. After sixty, barring eye health problems such as cataracts, the vision is usually very stable, and only mi-nor changes are required.
The best way to monitor these changes is to have routine eye examinations. Not only do these timely vis-its ensure the eyes are healthy, they are the most effec-tive way to ensure a person is seeing as well as he or she should.

Grizzlies buzz goalies, but few points to showBCHL team can gain ground in Island Division this week
The Victoria Grizzlies, whose nine goals scored in their last two home games was more than the previous four combined, look to continue hon-ing their home-ice offensive skills in B.C. Hockey League action this week.
After travelling to Nanaimo tonight (Oct. 28) to face the Clippers, the Grizzlies host Powell River on Thursday and Cowichan Valley on Friday at The Q Centre. Both home games are at 7 p.m.
The Grizzlies are coming off a three-game Inte-rior Division road trip that saw them pile up the shots but come away with just one win.
Sunday in West Kelowna, the visitors led 2-0 after one but couldn’t hang on, as the Warriors posted a 4-2 win. Victoria outshot the locals 38-37, but were stymied several times by West Kelowna goalie Forbes Ploszaj. Brayden Gelsinger and Mitchell Barker, who scored a shorthanded goal unassisted late in the first, tallied in the loss.
On Saturday in Vernon, the goalies were the stars on the night. The Grizzlies’ Matthew Gal-ajda kicked out 31 Vipers shots for his first shut-out of the season in a 2-0 Victoria win.
Counterpart Andrew Shortridge was kept busy by the Grizzlies, stopping 48 of 50 shots. The only Victoria shooters to beat him were Nick Guiney in the first period and Cole Pickup in the third.
The previous night in Salmon Arm, the home-town Silverbacks got a 37-save effort from goalie Brandon Kegler in a 5-1 win. Colby Livingstone, whose early third-period goal cut Salmon Arm’s lead to 4-1, was the lone Victoria player to score.

Riders pound their way through a section of

Rebels up for national football awardsWestshore grad Hunter Lake and rookie Alex Wright earn BCFC honour
Two members of the Westshore Rebels were on the Apple Bowl football field in Kelowna on Sunday.
They would rather have been there to play in the B.C. Football Conference cham-pionship game – the Okanagan Sun hammered the Van-couver Island Raiders 54-0 to take the Cullen Cup title.
But Hunter Lake and Alex Wright had reason to feel special all the same. The pair were there to accept the BCFC’s Ron White Community Service Award at halftime.
Richmond native Lake, now a junior football graduate, and Sooke’s Wright, who just fin-ished his first season with the Rebels at receiver, shared in the honour, which recognized their work in and around the West Shore.
While both young men work regular jobs out-side of football, they each also managed to dedi-cate numerous hours helping coach minor foot-ball in the commu-nity and represent the team in various service activities and fundraisers.
The two appeared at such events as the Wounded War-rior Run and McHappy Day, gave blood regularly and sold 50/50 tickets Sundays at the Tally-Ho Sports Pub.
Lake considers his sup-port of community sports and other groups as payback of sorts, for the support he received as a football-crazed player growing up.
“It’s unmeasurable, and it really changes lives when youth see that their passion can take them places and be
part of something bigger than them-selves,” he said.
Not only do Lake and Wright attend Greater Victoria Minor Football Association prac-tices and games, they work with individual players who are struggling with self-esteem issues and teach them about the values of teamwork.
“Amateur sports is where we all had our start, and it’s great to see kids in the same place we were so many years ago, ready to play and have fun,” Wright said. “And it’s important for everyone to be included and feel like they’re a part of something special.”
The dedication to giving back shown by these two play-ers mirrors the commitment made by the Rebels organiza-tion last year, to make a posi-
tive impact on their community and help with the devel-opment of commu-nity football on the Island.
The Ron White Award has been handed out since 2002 and was estab-lished to represent the blue collar, hard-working image of the BCFC. It rep-
resents the respect and the recognition gained by ethical conduct, involvement and recognition within the com-munity.
Lake and Wright are the BCFC representatives for the Canadian Junior Football League’s Past Commissioners Community Service Award, to be announced at the Canadian Bowl championship game Nov. 7 in Saskatoon.

We look back at head-lines from past issues of the Goldstream News Gazette.
2005After months of hard
work and preparation, the Parent Advisory Council at Savory ele-mentary pulls the plug
on its Fall Harvest Fes-tival, pointing to the teachers’ strike as the reason. The annual event generally raises much-needed funds for gym equipment, field trips and other student
initiatives.Also making the
news the week of Oct. 28, 2005:
Highlands resident Michael Bocking asks that Highlands mayor Karel Roessingh’s vote
to support the CRD Regional Growth Strat-egy be set aside. In a letter to council, Bock-ing claims that prior to voting to adopt the strategy, the mayor did not adequately commu-
nicate its implications to his community.
And, teachers and students are back in class following a two-week strike. The week-end sees B.C. teach-ers vote 77 per cent in favour of accepting rec-ommendations to end illegal strike action that began Oct. 7.
1995Highlands mayor
Bob McMinn is fum-ing over plans for his municipality to become home to the only major industrial incinerator in the Capital Regional District. The latest draft of the CRD’s solid waste management plan calls for Highwest Waste Recyclers Ltd., located just inside the district boundaries on Mill-stream Road, to step up burning of construction and demolition wood debris.
Also making news the week of Oct. 28, 1995:
A Metchosin farmer will be compensated $125 for the loss of a pregnant ewe killed
by local dogs. The three-year-old dorset ewe owned by Bernie Whitney-Griffiths was mauled Oct. 5. Metcho-sin council has a policy to pay up to 75 per cent of the animal’s value for livestock mauled by dogs whose owners cannot be identified.
And, the subject of burning dominates the headlines, with Col-wood clamping down by asking all residents to have any Halloween bonfires cleared though the fire department.
1985What starts out as
a small house party meant by the hostess to be a “small gathering” while the folks were away, ends up with more than 200 party goers spilling out of the house, into the yard and onto the street. It takes two hours for nine RCMP officers to clear the scene. They make 12 arrests for offences including public drunkenness, trespass at night and causing a disturbance.
The next day, another similar “small gather-ing” balloons in size to 150 people. The host of the party eventually calls police to help get things under control.
Also making news the week of Oct. 28, 1985:
An anonymous tip leads to the arrest of three men suspected of a break-in at the Shop Easy on Sooke Road. The back door of the store was apparently pried open and 610 car-tons of cigarettes, 200 Bic lighters and two cases of soup taken.
And, Colwood coun-cil hopes to introduce a canine death penalty into their municipal-ity. Council agrees to apply to the Minister of Agriculture for three sections of the Live-stock Protection Act to be declared valid in the City of Colwood. The sections, which must be enacted under a court order, provide for the killing of dogs found running in packs, those viciously pursu-ing persons or domes-tic animals, as well as dogs deemed to be dan-gerous.

Reader Photo of the Week
Happy Howl-o-ween! Colwood resident Marjanna Wornell snapped this photo of Noah as a wasp, taken at Middle Earth Canine Academy in Colwood.
In the summer Noah was stung several times on the roof of his mouth when a slightly stunned wasp became lodged between his front upper teeth. He received emergency medical care and recovered nicely. His costume artistically implies he is the world’s “biggest” wasp and hopefully no wasps will try to sting him again.
If you’ve got a photo from the West Shore of people, places or things and want to share it with our readers, the Goldstream News Gazette can help you out with that. Every week we publish our pick for Reader Photo of the Week. To have your photo considered for publication, simply email us a high-resolution .jpg copy to [email protected].
Please include your name, contact information including municipality of residence, where you took the photo and what you like about the image. Entries must be received by 5 p.m. Fridays to be included for consideration for the following week’s paper.
Weekly winners will also be posted on the Gazette’s Facebook page. Good luck!
