Next time you’ve got a pocket full of change, think of the kids.

Launching today, Black Press’ Coins for Kids campaign (previously Pennies for Presents) is collecting nickels, dimes, quarters, loonies and toonies at participating businesses to benefit The Salvation Army Stan Hagen Centre for Families.

“Every dollar collected goes towards services for families in our community who need it most,” said Penny Sakamoto, Black Press-Greater Victo-ria group publisher.

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 Gold-stream Ave. in Langford.

“Your unwanted coins will amount to big things for children this holiday season,” Sakamoto said. “Let’s all help make this another great fundraising success.”

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

Specifically, he was on the hunt for Stephen Henry Saun-ders’ 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 Offi-cer Brian Lougheed to see about replacements.

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

ders with replicas of his father’s Victory medal, British War medal, war badge and Hamp-shire Regiment Cap Badge from the time he served, between 1914 and 1918.

“I feel really sorry for people who have had their medals stolen,” said Saunders. “I am so happy to have the replace-ments.” [email protected]

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.”

Labs are trained to follow their owner’s voice commands and hand signals to locate a decoy duck tossed in a pond or the forest, either using a mechanical launcher or another person. A starter pistol is often used to replicate the hunting experience.

“We change it up all the time, the obstacles, where the prey is hidden,” Morrison said.

“You don’t want to make them fail if the dog doesn’t know where to go. You have to help him or her find it.”

Costello uses his dogs for hunting geese, ducks, pheasants and grouse in

the Cowichan Valley, but they’re also used to rid Canada Goose flocks from farmer’s fields in Greater Victoria. Local geese typically eat crops and no longer

migrate.Canada Goose are

so accustomed to humans that dogs are far more effective in scaring them away, Costello said. “The dogs flush the birds into the air. You have

to up the ante to scare them now. If you have a lot of pressure in one field they’ll

often just fly right over it the next time because they remember.”

Metchosin farmer Tom Henry has found great success in opening up his wheat fields to Costello and the dogs under a permit issued by the Canadian Wildlife Service.

This year the farmer lost less than one acre of his 35-acre wheat crop to geese, and credits Costello’s services.

“A lot of what we grow we couldn’t do without John and the dogs,” Henry said. “The geese like the wheat as much as I like barbecued hogs.”

Ladysmith’s iconic trolley travels to Lang-ford 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 trol-ley, 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 trol-leys,” Henshall said.

Council asked Town of Ladysmith staff to dis-pose 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.

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 traf-fic 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 trans-form 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 trans-portation plan completed by May 2014.

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

A Colwood Café event on Wednesday, Nov. 20 will give the public an opportunity to learn more about the process and pro-vide input on how they use trans-portation in Colwood, what chal-lenges they face and what oppor-tunities they see for the future.

Guest speaker Gordon Price, an urban planner from Vancou-ver, will share stories about what other communities have achieved through transportation strategies.

The event starts at 6 p.m. at

Royal Roads University in the Mews Conference Centre. RSVP by calling Colwood City Hall at 250-478-5999 or emailing [email protected] by Monday, Nov. 18.

The city has plans for other events at RRU which will feature guest speakers.

“We’re trying to improve the mindset on the entire West Shore,” McCusker said.

An online survey is available for Colwood residents and stakehold-ers now at colwood.ca.

COMMUNITYNEWSIN BRIEF

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 dis-ability, you get second,” said Alison Acker, com-mittee spokeswoman. “Beyond that, I don’t really know how they pick (candidates), but whatever happens, there should not be that number of peo-ple 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 Homeless-ness. The committee includes Together Against Poverty, the Action Committee for People with Dis-abilities, 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 subsi-dized and low market housing are likely needed to end homelessness in the Capital Region.

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 Mal-hotra, 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 Mal-hotra 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 fre-quent young visitor last week.

“I like to do stuff like this,” said Trevere Lefeu-vre, 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 buy-ing a car.”

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 Lochsidedeter pedestrians

I live on Lochside Drive in Central

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 blowersresident’s bane

It’s autumn, and besides the colours and smells, we are

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.

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.

Shaking head over traffic light priority

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.

Business groups are gather-ing to create one solid voice with the Southern Vancouver Island Chambers Alliance. SVICA is a col-laboration of small and medium sized chambers from the Gulf Islands to Port Renfrew and Lady-smith created to pursue common interests. Members of the SVICA have altogether 2,200 members and plan to work on issues that include: government relations, economic development, entrepre-neurial training, event cross pro-motions and best practices and innovation.

“These chambers are small and medium sized chambers that have much in common and can achieve more together in many areas than just on our own,” said

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 saxophon-ists.

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

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

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

compositional approach: a mod-ern player firmly rooted in jazz tradition.

The VJO will perform original music from the Boss Brass and Ian McDougall libraries.

The jazz vespers are Sunday, Nov. 17 at 7 p.m. in Colwood’s Church of the Advent, 510 Mt. View Ave. Take a sneak peek at billrunge.com. [email protected]

debatable!Steve Patterson might be

Canada’s Best Male Comic is at home in the middle of a great debate, a prerequisite for hosting a fast-paced radio show, or attend-ing 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 any-where. 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 peo-ple 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 observa-tions. 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 guaran-tees:

“The weird requests never stop coming in comedy,” says Patterson, while recount-ing 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 dif-ferences 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 they interact with each other, but I find all comics who don’t like to use certain topics because they’re overused, themselves are using overused topics,” he says. “You can make anything funny if you do it right and for certain crowds you just have to be as general as possible and not get too specific.”

It’s also a fail-safe topic for Patterson, who claims no immunity to bombing in the right environment despite his successes. A prime example of the rough crowd? Comedy in unexpected situations.

“I was at a festival where they decided they wanted us to do comedy on a ferry and not tell anyone it was happening,” he says. “Imagine you’ve finished your day at work. It’s Friday night and you just want to go home, but when you get in your car for the drive, there’s a comic in the passenger seat that you didn’t know was going to be there who starts doing a set. Would you be receptive to that or would you be terrified? Probably terrified.”

Now moving towards more potential col-laborations and hopeful for new (and unan-nounced) broadcast projects to get off the ground – Patterson is quick to share advice with the next generation of standup comics choosing their paths and making sacrifices for a chance in a comedy career.

“Obviously it’s a cut-throat business. You’re out there by yourself and there are limited opportunities given to people and you want to be one of those people. I get it. I’ve been there. I’ve gone through periods when I’ve spent more time wondering why someone got an opportunity that I think I should have gotten, instead of working on my own act. I think that’s wasted brain space.”

For the Victoria amateurs: watch other comedians after your act, and if you happen to be in a position to give opportunities, do it.

“It will be a lot easier to live with you, if you start being a positive person who wants to help others, as opposed to putting everyone else down because you should have done something. I’ve been in that position and I’ve made a conscious deci-sion not to worry about what I can’t control and to appreciate other comedians. I don’t begrudge people getting opportunities that I wouldn’t want. I’ll just go make my own.”

Luckily for Patterson, the approach has

been fruitful thus far.“I don’t mind being known as The

Debaters guy at all. As a comic, it’s a great gig. I would feel worse if I was the lawyer who was sometimes funny.”

Patterson takes his one-man show to the McPherson Playhouse at 7:30pm Sunday (Nov. 17). Tickets are $47 at rmts.bc.ca.

Here’s who’s making the The Debaters host and winner of the Canadian Comedy Awards Best Male Comic 2013 laugh right now:

“Mountain man of comedy” K. Trevor Wilson, Dave Merheje and Christina Walkinshaw – a stand out for her honesty, Patterson says.

Theatre company bridges gap between film and live performance

Next 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 present-ing its conversion of the Roxy Theatre into a full-fledged 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 back-stage 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 com-pany that’s become known for produc-tions of classic plays,” he says, adding Shepard’s writing work fits into that category. “But even though (True West) was written in 1980, it still has a contem-porary 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.

Looking ahead, Blue Bridge has an eclec-

tic mix of productions in store for 2013-14. Guest appearances include Old Trout Puppet Workshop’s Ignorance, about the evolution of humanity explored through puppets; and the aptly placed Annie Baker play, The Flick, about the end of days for a old-style movie theatre.

Other Blue Bridge productions include Tennessee Williams’ classic The Glass Menagerie and Cruel Tears/Lagrimas Crueles, a Tex-Mex version of Shakespeare’s Othello.

As a way to help pay the bills between its theatre production schedule, Blue Bridge will be screening movies regularly at the Roxy, 2657 Quadra St. Watch bluebridgetheatre.ca for more details.

True West runs Nov. 19 to Dec. 1, with shows Tuesdays through Sundays. Weekday shows are 8pm, Sundays are 2pm and extra 2pm matinees are scheduled for Nov. 27 and 30.

While 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 de� nitely 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 � rst 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.

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 succeeded,” Holmes says.

Guests enjoy a variety of specials, including Monday Night Football, Tuesday’s � sh & chips, Wednesday’s wings & karaoke, Thursday poker nights and more. Rounding out the weekend, Friday night brings magic and karaoke, while on Saturdays it’s live music and dancing, and don’t forget Sunday brunch starting at 10 a.m.

Dates are still available for Christmas gatherings, and tickets for New Year’s

Eve will go on sale Dec. 1. Don’t wait long, though – last year’s event sold out in two weeks!

The West Shore-based Victoria Spar-tans pummelled Prince George to be pee wee football provincial champions.

The local 9 through 11-year-olds faced the Northern B.C. cham-pion 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 regu-lar season games on Vancouver Island this fall but saved their most impressive vic-tories for last. Starting with a 40-0 decision over cross-town rivals the Victoria Hitmen to win the Vancouver Island Championship and capping the sea-son with the effort in Kamloops.

Cayden Brune was named the game’s most sportsmanlike player and William Gorchounov was rec-ognized 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.

The Axemen tried innovative tactics on offence and had some

success moving the ball but the stubborn Spartans defence refused to break and kept them out of the end zone.

On offence, the local club was able to score both on the ground and in the air.

The special team converted four out of five touchdowns and smothered the Axemen’s kick return game.

The Victoria Spar-tans players are drawn predominantly from the West Shore and

Sooke.This is the third Vic-

toria Spartans team to win a provincial champion-ship in the last four years with the midget

team (ages 16 to 18) winning in 2010 and the bantam team (ages 14 and 15) winning in 2011.

Backup back stops Royals to two wins

Goalie Coleman Vollrath is in the driver’s seat after he made 84 saves in total and led the Victoria Royals to back-to-back road wins over the Seattle Thunder-birds 5-3 on Friday and Portland Winterhawks 3-2 in overtime on Saturday.

Vollrath entered last

week’s loss to the Edmon-ton Oil Kings in relief and has played ever since.

The Royals (12-9-0-1) host the Thunderbirds at Save-On-Foods Memo-rial Centre for a two-game set tonight (Nov. 13) and tomorrow, 7:05 p.m. face-offs.

Seventeen-year-old wins junior bronze at national regatta

Travis PatersonNews 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 disappoint-

ment,” said Donnecke, a Claremont Sports Institute athlete. “I was pro-gressing as the fastest junior with a time that promised me a solid spot in the B final.”

As much as she appreciated rac-ing against seniors and under-23 ath-letes, 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 motiva-tion to keep training to improve because directly comparing your times to those of the London Train-ing Centre women... It’s not some-thing infinitely out of reach.”

Boat loads of South Island rowers made the trip, with two more junior athletes, Kelsey Farmer and Caileigh Filmer of the Victoria City Rowing

Club, doubling up for gold in the junior women’s pair and bronze in the U23 pair.

VCRC’s Adam Donaldson and Jacob Barker won gold in the junior men’s pair and Nicholas Frappell won bronze in the junior men’s single. Olympian Lindsay Jenner-ich from Saanich won silver in the senior women’s singles.The UVic Vikes were led by Will O’Connell, who won gold in the U23 men’s pair with Ontario’s Trofym Anderson and, Alex Walker, a Vic High grad, who won gold in the lightweight men’s U23 single.

Matches are sched-uled from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. today (Nov. 15) and 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday. The gold medal game starts at 3:30 Saturday in the South Gym.

Teams are chasing a single Island berth to the AAAA provin-cial championships in Penticton, Nov. 28 to 30. Second and third place teams will earn a wildcard shot against a mainland team. Representing the South Island with the host Bulldogs are the Mount Douglas Rams, Claremont Spartans and Oak Bay Break-ers.

All four Bulldogs volleyball teams are in action this week as the Bulldogs junior boys competed in Che-mainus, Nov. 12 and 13. Results were not available at press time. The Bulldogs junior girls are in Nanaimo today and tomorrow. The senior boys are competing in the AAA Island Volleyball cham-pionship at Oak Bay High this weekend. The Bulldogs senior boys won the Judy Bourne Cup com-bined AA and AAA city championship in four sets over the Oak Bay Barbers on Thursday.
