In Camosun College’s sheet metal work-shop, students hammer and contort metal for HVAC systems and toolboxes. Whether they stick with this trade remains to be seen, but the college and the province are trying to make entry into trades education as easy and enticing as possible.

The Ministry of Advanced Education

announced recently that it is granting Camo-sun $349,000 for 68 seats in carpentry and electrical foundation programs, introductory trades training without the onerous require-ment of securing an apprenticeship.

That ministry funding also opens 32 seats in the discovery skills program, a pilot project where students dip their toes in a number of trades at the Interurban campus.

“What is intended here is to provide the opportunity to have a more informed entry into trades,” said Olaf Nielsen, chair of trades development and special projects at Camo-sun. “This helps make a more informed career decision.”

Ministry of Advanced Education-funded seats adds to the 336 funded by the Industry

Training Authority at Camosun for foundation programs. The ITA focuses mainly on appren-ticeships, and funded 1,812 of those seats at the college this year.

Nielsen said foundation programs help expose more people to less well known but still highly employable trades.

“A lot of individuals don’t have a good pic-ture of the pathways into trades. A lot gravi-tate towards traditional trades,” he said.

“We see some undersubscribed programs where there’s not a lot of awareness, like pipe trades, for example. A lot of students don’t know about being a steamfitter or gas fitter.”

Oak Bay will spend $12,500 to trap and kill 25 deer, which will then be butchered for meat.

On Tuesday, council voted to confirm Oak Bay’s participation in the Capital Regional Districts’s deer management pilot project, outlined in a 51-page report from August.

Oak Bay is the first municipality in the CRD to formally join the urban part of the program. View Royal has expressed interest and Esquimalt said it will join if three-quarters of member municipalities also join. Central Saanich has already signed on to the rural version of the pilot project.

Oak Bay Mayor Nils Jensen said something needs to be done as the number of deer deaths has increased from zero in Oak Bay six years ago to 33 so far this year. Last year, 23 were killed, usually after being struck by a vehicle.

“The number of deer killed on roads and in backyards is increasing and those deaths are inhumane and we can’t let that continue,” Jensen said. “In a number of occasions the deer have been so badly injured by car or by hopping a fence and not making it that the police needed to come and put the deer down, which is not humane.”

The Victoria Hospitals Founda-tion kicked off its annual fall cam-paign Nov. 7 with the goal to raise the remaining $4 million needed to purchase medical equipment for the Royal Jubilee Hospital’s patient care centre.

The foundation planned to raise $25 million two years ago for the Building Care Together campaign, but came up short, said founda-tion chair Alan Lowe.

“Everyone is look-ing for the same dol-lars these days,” Lowe said. “Its’ been a chal-lenge but we believe we’ll be successful this year.”

To help them reach that goal, Van-couver billionaire and philanthropist Jimmy Pattison is matching every dollar donated, up to a maximum of $5 million.

Tomorrow, the annual Visions Gala will be held at the Fairmont Empress, with tickets for the formal dinner and auction costing $275. Visions galas have raised more than $4.5 million since 1991, benefiting both Jubilee and Victoria General hospitals.

Letters seeking donations are cur-rently being sent out to households throughout Vancouver Island.

“The patient care centre doesn’t just serve the residents of Victoria,

but the entire island,” Lowe said. Some of the equipment the foun-

dation is planning to purchase includes bedside vital sign monitors, which will allow the tracking of heart rate and vitals, eliminating the need to wake a patient multiple times throughout the night. Wireless com-munication devices will also be pur-chased, allowing patients to speak to nurses, no matter where they are in the hospital. Another type of equip-

ment being purchased will directly alert nurses if a patient’s heart rate or rhythm changes.

“If we waited for the province or some people to fund this, it may never happen or

not happen immediately,” Lowe said. “We want the hospital to have the best technology for patients.”

For more information on how to donate, go to victoriahf.ca or call 250-519-1750.

The Victoria Hospitals Founda-tion works in partnership with the Vancouver Island Health Authority to enable donations to Vancouver Island’s largest two hospitals, Royal Jubilee and Victoria General. Every year the foundation funds approxi-mately 40 per cent of the hospitals’ capital equipment purchases. Since 1989, the foundation has raised nearly $97 million for the hospitals.

The “members only” sign visitors see upon arriving at Victoria Golf Club might seem designed more to keep people out than encourage newcomers.

Yet the people who run this venerable institution – at age 120 Canada’s oldest golf course still on its original site – appear more interested in creating an inclusive environment than one of exclusivity and privilege.

Alistair Davies, an expatriate Brit and self-proclaimed “keen golfer” who was installed this year as the club’s first

director of sales and marketing, has played some of the top courses around B.C., Canada and the U.K. Unlike some high-end clubs where people pay top dollar to join but seldom set foot on the property, he says, the majority of Victoria Golf Club members are keen

players who love the game and enjoy the camaraderie that develops as a result.

“I came here from Calgary with my wife, and I think we have about 80 members from Calgary here now,” Davies says. “They come for the golf but they discover the social life.”

Joining the club isn’t inexpensive: the entry fee for an active adult membership is $35,000 – easily the highest in Greater Victoria – and monthly dues run $303.

At last count the club listed about 1,200 members, 940 of whom hold golf memberships. The rest carry social memberships, which come with an $850 entry fee and $82 a month dues.

“We like to call them ‘non-playing members,’” Davies says with a knowing grin. Members give up the game for various reasons, not least of which is failing physical health, but they are reluctant to give up the social aspect of membership.

Davies, sitting at a table in Macan’s Lounge in the clubhouse, describes a typical Monday afternoon scene: “There’s usually about 20 tables of four in here with people playing bridge.”

* * *Formed Nov. 7, 1893 by a small group of

enthusiasts rounded up by Harvey Combe, during a meeting at the Temple Building on Fort Street, the club started to take shape the following year on a section of pasture land owned by the Pemberton family.

As described in the history book written by member Peter Corley-Smith for the club’s centennial in 1993, one of the early expanded layouts saw players hit balls back and forth across Mount Baker Avenue (later renamed Beach

Drive) on two separate holes. While no major injuries appear to have been reported, the configuration was changed in 1923 to eliminate cross-road play and ease the fears of the many passersby.

Early club member A.V. Macan, who would go on to design what would become Royal Colwood Golf Club in 1913, came up with major changes to the Victoria layout that were instituted in the 1950s and largely remain today.

But the development of the course is ongoing, notes head golf professional Mike Parker, who joined the club as an assistant in 1969 and has spent the past 29 years as head pro.

“A golf course is a living thing,” he says, noting that every green and every tee has been tweaked during his days at the club.

Changes have been made over the years to make the course more challenging in some spots and less difficult in others.

More recently, a golf architect was contracted to help create a long-range plan for the course.

Parker points out that such decisions come from the members, some of whom have played golf all over the world.

“We draw on the expertise of those folks,” he says, adding the bar is continually set higher to improve the course. “You can never go backward, you can only go slow and do it right the first time.”

* * *Victoria Golf Club has long been

considered a trendsetter, from welcoming women players pretty much from the beginning, to offering a lower-priced intermediate membership for players 18 to 29, to raising major dollars for charities around the region.

“The club has a long history of being a very progressive organization,” Davies says.

It also looks at youth players as its future.

“Most weekends, the juniors lesson program is very busy. That’s good, because the club needs to have a healthy base moving forward.”

Over 120 years, members have come and gone, plenty of stories have been told and change has almost been a constant. One thing that will always remain, Davies says, is the colourful past, much of which can be found on the walls surrounding Macan’s.

“The history here is extraordinary. A lot of us members feel like we’re simply the custodians of the course and are just passing through.”

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 Victoria 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 spokeswoman 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 raised about $5,700 for various local charities.

To donate, look for the Coins for Kids boxes at participating local businesses, or stop by Black Press head office, 818 Broughton St. in

Eric Sehn, Camosun’s dean of trades and tech-nology, said apprentice-ship numbers tend to rise and fall with the economy and infra-structure spending.

If companies aren’t hiring and sponsoring apprenticeships, fewer people enter trades training. Trade foun-dation programs help fill the gap, Sehn said, and gives graduates school credit toward an apprenticeship.

“It’s important during times when the econ-omy is quite soft and vulnerable. Students can join the founda-tion program without a sponsor,” he said, not-

ing that while shipbuild-ing is ramping up, some construction related trades have taken a hit over the past few years.

“It can be really challenging to find an apprenticeship when the economy is down and employers aren’t taking on staff.”

The discovery skills program, which covers everything from elec-trical to auto repair to metal work to welding, is the “trades sampler,” Sehn said, and can lead to a foundation program or even an apprenticeship.

This is the first time the Ministry of Advanced Education has funded discovery skills and opened it to

a wider audience – pre-viously the curriculum was focused on specific trades programs for women and aboriginal students.

“It all has the same goal, giving people the opportunity to experi-ence trades training to see what it most aligned with their inter-

ests and skills,” Sehn said.

“I’m most happy when I see someone in discovery skills move on to a foundation pro-gram. If I see them year after year, I know they are on their way. That’s what we want to see happen.”[email protected]

Beer for Dogs

Man’s best friend laps up unique offering from Moon Under Water Brewpub

Don DescoteauNews staff

Breakfast was delicious, but now it’s time to get to work.

I ride to the job site in the company bus, keeping a somewhat laissez-faire guard on the product in the back. We arrive and I suss out the place to see what’s new.

Suddenly, a visitor appears who is unknown to me. No problem, I think, I’ll give him a warm greeting regardless.

And what’s this? I’m being offered a post-breakfast apéritif out of the cooler? I know it’s still just 10:30 in the morning, but why not, I say, and down the tasty beer quickly.

Ah, the benefits of being a brewery dog …

n n n

Brew, the hulking, four-legged surrogate child of Chelsea Walker and Clay Potter, co-owners of Moon Under Water Brewpub, was guinea pig for their new non-alcoholic, hop- and carbonation-free “beer” for dogs.

“We were looking for something that the whole family could enjoy, to have a beer together after work,” Walker says, the mirth evident in her voice.

Dog owners are increasingly being targeted by niche retailers in Greater Victoria. So for Walker and Potter, who serve a lot of “dog people” at their Bay Street brewpub, offering a complementary product to their regular offerings made sense.

“We’re a very pet-focused town already and a very craft beer-focused town. It’s a good combination of the two,” Walker said.

The process, brewmaster Potter said, starts early in the brewing process, during a pre-

fermentation stage when the natural sugars are dissolved out of the grain. Ordinarily, a certain amount of liquid is removed and sent down the drain, with the remaining husks and spent grains collected to be given to local farmers as feed.

“It’s a high-protein, high-fibre, low-sugar liquid,” he said.

From there, it goes through another process in which glucosamine and salmon oil are added, and, depending upon which flavour is being brewed, chicken or beef flavouring. The couple spoke to experts at pet food stores for advice on healthy ingredients.

Walker admits the couple dotes on their dog, but she sees selling “dog beer” as a “marketer’s dream.” So far, they’ve sold out whatever they make quickly at $4 a bottle.

“We’re recycling waste and it’s a fun idea,” she said.

The brewpub recently officially launched its beef and barley dunkel and chicken and peanut pilsener brews for dogs.

Proceeds from sales of the products will be donated to Flirting with Fido (flirtingwithfido.com), a Victoria dog rescue program.

Walker and Potter support the cause. They rescued Brew, whose flop-eared image graces the label of the beef variety, from a harsher fate some years ago.

For more information on the dog beers, call 250-380-0706 or stop by 350B Bay St.

Don’t ignore latest disasterTyphoon 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.

YOUR VIEW

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 Lochside 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?

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.

OUR VIEW

Don’t ignore latest disasterTyphoon 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.

YOUR VIEW

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 Lochside 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.

Jensen noted the Songhees First Nation’s involvement is an important aspect to the cull. They will take the meat, along with antlers and hooves for ceremonial purposes.

Coun. Carine Green was the lone councillor voting against the motion. Three options were presented to council. Option one was to not participate in the CRD pilot project. Option two, which council passed, has Oak Bay participating in the project in accordance to the terms of reference in the report. Option three was the same as option two, but with a caveat that participation is “subject to any additional requests or conditions that council may ask the CRD to consider.”

Green wanted option three.“I just felt it would allow

more flexibility, allow Oak Bay greater ongoing input,” Green said, adding she wanted that flexibility in writing. “I think it would add a bit more strength for local input and local influence.”

CRD project manager for deer management Jeff Weightman assured council that even though option two doesn’t explicitly indicate it, they are willing to take input and make changes throughout the pilot project, which runs until January 2015.

In B.C.’s interior, Kimberly and Cranbrook have each been given permission from the province to cull 25 deer. In a non-binding referendum held Nov. 2, the town of Invermere voted in favour of a deer cull.

“That number is what we anticipate because a precedent was set in other places in B.C.,” Weightman said. “Typically the number to begin with is 25.”

After the first cull, deer activity will be monitored and results will dictate if there will be more.”

Council also discussed other options that did not involve

a cull, such relocating the animals, but Weightman said that is not a viable option.

“Deer don’t travel well. There is a 50 to 60 per cent fatality rate,” Weightman said, adding provincial permits would be needed and applications by others have

been rejected. “Deer are fight or flight animals. They will have a heart attack or break their neck from thrashing.”

Jensen explained he had been in talks with researchers

wanting to explore using SpayVac, a contraceptive vaccine, but stumbling blocks include lack of funding and the need for both provincial and federal approval. He indicated the vaccine would be a more long-term solution.

The CRD will now apply for the necessary permits and hire a contractor to do the cull. Once that is in place, the cull could start immediately.

Updated with the latest happenings

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.

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

Also on his comics-to-watch list, Vancouver-based comedian Ivan Decker, whose observational comedy happens to remind Patterson of a “young Steve Patterson.”

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.

Anyone dropping by the Bayanihan Com-munity Centre on Blanshard Street on a Tuesday afternoon would usually find a locked door.

Not today. The cultural home of the Victoria Filipino

Canadian Association has thrown open its doors to accept donations for disaster relief in the horrific aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan, which rolled over the Philippine islands last weekend and has left tens of thousands of residents homeless or injured and at least 2,000 dead.

Orlando Tuapin, a native Filipino and a congregation member at Central Baptist Church, is at the centre to find out how his church can help raise funds.

“I know my family is safe,” he says, hav-ing spoken to his mother who lives on the northern island of Luzon, earlier in the day. That area received heavy rain and moder-ate winds, but didn’t feel the storm’s fury the way southern islands did.

He tears up as he describes seeing news reports showing the devastation in some areas of the tiny country.

“People are scattered like chickens over the ground. You feel helpless. We’re all humans.”

Adding to the misery of residents there,

he says, an area of central Philippines heav-ily damaged by the storm was just picking itself up after a magnitude 7.2 earthquake rocked the region. “They probably think it’s the end of the world.”

Laila Pires, association president, is at the Bayanihan centre with other volunteer

board members to help facilitate donations. She was there in a meeting last Friday when news of the storm reached them.

“We were quite shocked at the gravity of the situation,” she says. “A lot of people were trying to contact family and couldn’t (reach them). That’s hell, having to wait.”

An estimated 5,000 Filipi-nos live in the Greater Victoria area, she said, including more than 1,000 caregivers who are living here alone, away from their families, under tempo-rary status.

As the extent of damage continues to unfold, churches around the region and other groups have been organizing emer-gency fundraisers; car washes, bake sales and other events, to do whatever they can to help. The outpouring of generosity has been a great consolation to the Filipino community, Pires says.

Association board member Leonor San-tos says cash or cheques are the best dona-tion item at the moment, since it is eas-ily transferable to the Canadian Red Cross, which is co-ordinating efforts with the Inter-national Red Cross on the ground in the Philippines.

“We’re not in a rush to send material items. It takes a month or more to ship anything there,” she says, noting that peo-ple have asked about donating clothing or other items for those in need.

As of mid-week, roughly $5 million had been raised by the Canadian Red Cross in Canada. Carly Milloy, annual appeal man-ager for the Victoria office, says local resi-dents were quick to respond to the crisis. She echoed the statement that cash dona-tions are best.

“Right now, they need food and shelter and money is what pays for those things,” she said.

A special Filipino dinner is being held tonight (Nov. 15) at the Bayanihan Cen-tre, 1709 Blanshard St. Tickets are $10 and doors open at 5 p.m. with dinner at 6. Seat-ing is limited and street parking is available nearby.

Proceeds from the regular Sunday noon lunch event ($7 a plate) will also be put toward the fundraising effort.

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.

Bays sweep boys soccer Islands

The Oak Bay Bays boys senior and junior teams are Island champions.

While it’s the end of the line for the juniors this sea-

son, their senior brethren in green-and-white will com-pete at the AAA high school provincials in Burnaby, Nov. 21 to 23.

Lions win Vic Lindal girls volleyball cup

The AA Lambrick Park Lions won the Vic Lindal Cup city crossover volley-ball championship over the AAAA Belmont Bulldogs on Tuesday, 25-14, 29-27, 26-24. Lambrick had beat Oak Bay and Belmont had beat St. Michaels University in the semifinals.

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.

Belmont bounces with volleyball playoff madness

What’s been a ban-ner year for Belmont Bulldogs volleyball continues as the South Island cham-pion senior girls host the AAAA Island Vol-leyball Championships starting today.

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.
