Bus strike looming in Victoria

Tuesday marks deadline to return to bargaining Daniel Palmer News staff
Quadra Street movie theatre testing new liquor licensing possibility Roszan Holmen News staff
Maybe it’s the veil of darkness that leaves people leery. Whatever the reason, the possibility of selling alcohol at Victoria movie theatres doesn’t sit as easily as it does with sports arenas such as the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre. In B.C., movie house owners won the right to apply for liquor licences in April, after a high-profile and contentious public consultation. But while the provincial government’s concerns have been adequately assuaged by a set of restrictions, the as-yet untested idea still elicits some fears at the local government level. This provincial issue has landed here for the first time, as the Roxy Theatre seeks the nod from city council. 3

In 2010, the little theatre in Quadra Village made headlines when owner Michael Sharpe
tried – and failed – to sell the property with development potential. Fans were quick to defend their 63-year-old “irreplaceable landmark,” and reporters waxed eloquent about the value of these disappearing icons. Even back then, before it was legal, Victorians mused about the possibility of selling booze as a way to reinvigorate the theatre. “I guess I can see how someone might want to have a few beers while at a (for example) martial-arts triple feature,” wrote ‘Amor de Cosmos’ on Vibrant Victoria, adding a smirking emoticon. These days, the Roxy mostly shows second-run films at reduced prices. But it also screens cultish and other classics, such as the upcoming Rocky Horror Picture Show. The theatre’s website even invites patrons to write to management with suggestions for what they’d like to see. These are hard times for many small movie theatres. That’s in part because they often can’t afford to make the

Sidney’s well-loved, but struggling Star Cinema. It’s looking to its patrons to secure its financial future. Seat sponsorships by individuals and businesses have so far raised just over half of the $200,000 needed to upgrade its technology.
Bus drivers in Greater Victoria have scrapped their uniforms in favour of street clothes. The uniform ban was sanctioned by the Canadian Auto Workers local 333. “We’re trying to do everything we can without disrupting service,” said union local president Ben Williams. “We’re not getting their attention.” The drivers’ job action will escalate by Tuesday if B.C. Transit has not returned to the negotiating table, Williams said. “It will affect the commuting public.” More than 650 bus drivers, skilled trades and maintenance workers in Greater Victoria issued strike notice last Friday (Oct. 5). The two sides remain at an impasse over wage increases and benefits, which are not in line with the B.C. government’s net zero mandate, said Transit spokesperson Meribeth Burton. “We asked the bargaining committee to go and speak to other unions. There seems to be a lack of understanding about what the co-operative gains mandate is,” she said. The negotiating mandate requires unions to offset any wage increases with cost savings and productivity gains in other areas. The B.C. Nurses Union and B.C. Government Employees Union reached tentative contract agreements under the mandate. “Our (offer) is exactly in line with the nurses (and) the BCGEU and we’re still surprised we’re sitting at this impasse,” Burton said.

The City of Victoria has withdrawn its application to limit Freedom of Information Act requests by Focus magazine. In August, corporate administrator Rob Woodland applied to B.C.’s Office of the Information
Fairway
and Privacy Commissioner for permission to restrict the magazine to one active request at a time. While the city claimed the number of requests filed by Focus overburdened city resources, publisher David Broadland countered that he suspected the move was strategic, to delay the release of specific materials related to the Johnson Street Bridge. An adjudicator with the commission will no longer have to make a ruling in the case.
On Oct. 9 Woodland distributed a letter explaining his reasons for the withdrawal. “In the two months since the filing of the City’s application ‌ the Respondents have made no new requests related to the JSB Project,â€? Woodland wrote. By assigning extra resources to the job, the city has fulfilled all but one outstanding request by Focus, he said. “Thus it is no longer necessary to proceed with the section 43 application.â€? rholmen@vicnews.com

Sewage debate clogs CRD committee NDP debate builds consensus, not controversy
Talk of alternate technologies still on the table Daniel Palmer
Party members to cast ballots this Sunday
News staff
Capital Regional District directors should pull the reigns on the proposed $782-million secondary sewage treatment project and look at emerging and alternative treatment technology. That’s the appeal Saanich Coun. Vic Derman put forward at Wednesday’s CRD liquid waste management committee meeting. Derman said new energy extraction methods in sewage treatment could make the current project a relic before it’s even completed. Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins also expressed concern that directors are moving too hastily to implement the plan, which includes a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point and a biosolids energy centre in a yet-to-be-determined location. Both the federal and provincial governments have pledged to contribute one-third of the $782 million price tag, but any cost overruns will fall on municipal shoulders. “The further we go down these roads, the more we have adopted and accepted this plan, the less opportunity we have to revisit and re-look at things,� Desjardins said later in an interview. At the meeting, Desjardins put forward a notice of motion

Members of the Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment, including chair John Bergbusch, right, protest and gather petition signatures outside the Capital Regional District building on Wednesday, while the CRD sewage committee discusses the $782-million secondary sewage treatment project inside. that calls for a re-evaluation of how federal environmental standards apply to the Capital Region and a request for exemption from federal wastewater regulations. She also hopes the CRD will re-engage “prominent scientists who are united in their opinion that we are not harming the environment and that we have the wrong plan.� “Basically, it’s asking this committee to take a stand and turn the table around, to stop,� she said. The committee also reviewed the first concrete cost-sharing formula between the seven
municipalities involved in the project. Councils are expected to pony up $37 million, collectively, each year for the project, but the formula will be reviewed by each municipality before being approved. Oak Bay fares the worst, with an estimated $391 annual cost per household by 2017, while Victoria comes in at $353 per household. Esquimalt would need to charge its residents another $311 per household in five years’ time. CRD staff cautioned committee members that the esti-
mates are preliminary and will depend on borrowing rates at the time of implementation. Dr. Shaun Peck, the former CRD medical health officer and board member for ARESST (Association for Responsible and Environmentally Sustainable Sewage Treatment), also presented his opposition to the project at Wednesday’s committee meeting. “There’s still time to apply for an exemption to the federal wastewater regulations based on the unique marine receiving environment of Victoria,� Peck said. dpalmer@vicnews.com
Cash-strapped Mustard Seed cuts staff hours Roszan Holmen News staff
All 25 full- and part-time staff at the Mustard Seed took a 25-per-cent cut to their hours this week, as the non-profit organization deals with its pressing financial challenges. “We needed to take some drastic, immediate steps,� said executive director, Rev. Chris Riddell. Donations are down by $400,000 over the past two years, he said.
In anticipation of another low-revenue year, the organization had already cut up to 10 per cent of its $2-million budget, mostly cutting back on the food it buys. The reductions, however, haven’t been enough. “The only thing left (to cut) is our staffing time,� Riddell said. The loss of wages will put staff in a difficult situation, he acknowledged. “It’s heartbreaking.� The good news is the resolve and heart they’ve shown in this
hard time, he said. “Some of our staff has said, ‘I’m going to be here for eight hours anyway because I care about the ministry.’� Every month, 5,000 people come to the Mustard Seed for a food hamper and another 2,000 come to access one of the organization’s other services, such as counselling, advocacy and health services. The Mustard Seed also operates a healing farm in the Cowichan Valley, where up to 12 men live at a time.
Riddell hopes the cuts to staff hours will be temporary. “We’re hoping (that with) our appeal to Victoria, they respond in a positive way,� he said. This weekend the Mustard Seed is participating in the Great Canadian Food Fight – a friendly competition between food banks in several cities to bring in the most donations. Details about how and where to donate are at mustardseed. ca. rholmen@vicnews.com
A sea of orange flooded the sanctuary of First Metropolitan Church on Quadra Street Tuesday night, with an estimated 500 people packing the pews to hear four nominees who hope to fill the shoes of Denise Savoie. The federal NDP’s sole nominee debate took place between four candidate hopefuls – Murray Rankin, Elizabeth Cull, Ben Isitt and Charley Beresford – in the run-up to its nomination vote Sunday (Oct. 14) to select a candidate for the upcoming Victoria byelection. Moderated by Murray Langdon, the debate lasted just over an hour and consisted of audience questions and opening and closing statements by each nominee. The nominees largely agreed on crowdpleasing issues like the creation of affordable housing, the need to create stronger partnerships with First Nations, food security, electoral reform and environmental protection. In one of the few standout moments of the debate, Rankin ran circles around the other nominees when they were asked to tout their official second language skills. Rankin is an environmental lawyer and currently leading the B.C. NDP’s attempt to stop the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. He has the support of the three local area NDP MLAs. Cull served as both finance and health minister in the Mike Harcourt provincial government and as Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA from 1989 to 1996. She is supported by Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca MP Randall Garrison. Beresford previously served as a Victoria school board trustee and is currently executive director of the Columbia Institute, a policy group focused on sustainable communities and leadership. Isitt, an outspoken Victoria city councillor, was last to enter the race. He has been involved in numerous grassroots campaigns and has worked for the Cool Aid Society and on several NDP campaigns. For a minute-by-minute recap of Tuesday’s meeting, search #yyjNDP on Twitter. The nomination vote, open to the roughly 1,200 Victoria party members, takes place in the Michelle Pujol Room at the University of Victoria starting at 1 p.m. Sunday. A byelection was called after Denise Savoie stepped down for health reasons in August. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Chapman has over 200 bra sizes available for ordering, ranging from 30AA to 52KK. It’s likely that you’ll fit somewhere between those sizes. She offers these questions for women to ask themselves: • Do you have a drawer full of bras but none that fit comfortably? • Does your bust line “bounce” when you walk while wearing your “everyday” bra? • Do you overflow the cup of your bra? • Do your bra straps slip off your shoulders or dig into your shoulders leaving red and painful marks? • Does your bra ride up in the back because you tighten the straps to give you added support? • Have you ever begun an exercise class only to drop out because your breasts ached from lack of support while jumping or running? If you answer yes to any of these you are in need of a new bra, and a custom one could be the way to go.

Staff called the furnishings selected to surround the future Johnson Street Bridge ‘simple, but elegant.’ Some Victoria city councillors, however, felt the design for these public spaces wasn’t inviting enough. “I see it as very antiseptic,” Coun. Pam Madoff said at last week’s governance and priorities committee meeting. Coun. Charlayne Thornton-Joe chose softer words, saying she wanted to see more elements with “a sense of play and fun.” “We actually feel that way in the bridge office everyday,” retorted Dwayne Kalynchuk, bridge project director. “We’re being very mindful of the budget,” he said, adding fun items, such as public art, can be installed later. The designs, he qualified, are not the construction plans and can still be altered. Coun. Shellie Gudgeon, who lives in Vic West, where much of the future landscaping will take place, was positive about the plan. “What I see in these drawings is you really did listen to the public input,” she said. “I see a nice canvas to be added to in the future. It’s got lots of potential.” rholmen@vicnews.com
Bus strike effects can be devastating Continued from Page A1
Williams, however, said the union is aware of the government’s restraints. “We are within the guidelines that are laid out with the government,” he said. No specific bargaining details are being provided by either side, but both Williams and B.C. Transit have expressed a desire to return to negotiations. Burton called the uniform ban a safety violation, from B.C. Transit’s perspective. “It’s confusing for our riders but we’re grateful that at least the system is running,” she said. Greater Victoria transit operators last took strike action in April 2001. The strike lasted 14 days. Previous strikes affecting passengers took place in 1999 (one week) and 1984, when a three-month walkout crippled the economy of downtown Victoria.

Glenlyon students hit the town – to volunteer Students from K to 12 get their hands dirty helping out at sites around Greater Victoria Don Descoteau News staff
It’s a sunny day in Victoria and a group of Glenlyon Norfolk School Grade 9 students are busy pulling out wild rose bushes in a garden at Government House. Across town, a collection of Grade 6 and 12 GNS students are clearing Scotch broom from an area of Jimmy Chicken Island, having travelled over via voyageur canoe. Out at Island View Beach in Central Saanich, Grade 4 and 8 students are busy removing invasive species from natural areas. These activities and many others make up Glenlyon Norfolk’s annual community volunteering day and involve students in all grades, from the school’s junior campus in Oak Bay and its middle and senior campuses in on Bank Street in Victoria. “This particular program is two years old, but the idea of community
service afternoons or experiences is something we’ve been doing as a school for a long time,” said Hugh Williams, director of marketing and communications at GNS. Volunteering, learning about the environment and working with others are major components of the program and provide a great opportunity for older students to mentor younger ones, he said. GNS uses inter-grade mentoring frequently for its sports teams and academic programs, and the volunteer day is an extension of that philosophy, he added. GNS headmaster Simon BruceLockhart likes to use the phrase “the gift of significant contributions” when describing how students can make a difference, Williams said. “When I think of what our kids do, either locally or internationally – like volunteering in Mexico – it’s significant, not just a token contribution.” editor@vicnews.com

Bus strikes hit poor, elderly People with long memories understand what life is like without bus service. Slightly more than 11 years ago, Greater Victoria suffered through a two-week transit strike, where the main form of transportation for tens of thousands of people ground to a halt. Some people made do and carpooled with friends or hopped on a bike. Many who needed to crisscross the region couldn’t get to their jobs and lost wages, or risked their personal safety by hitchhiking. Parents suddenly had to drive their teenager to school who normally took the bus. Elderly people on fixed incomes who usually hopped a bus had to dole out for taxis for medical appointments or grocery shopping. Some drivers and even bike riders enjoyed roadways free of big, imposing buses, and many people with cars offered strangers free lifts, but the silver linings of a transit strike are few. Perhaps more than any other public sector contract dispute, shutting down buses throws a city’s economy into chaos and hurts the most vulnerable people. Prior to the 2001 strike, bus drivers went on strike in 1999 for one week. Before that, transit went on strike in 1984 for three months and crippled the economy of downtown Victoria. Today its shocking how little has changed in terms of transportation infrastructure. At least back then you could still catch the VIA dayliner. If bus drivers strike next week, cycling and carpooling will ramp up and many people will make do. But the poor, elderly and disabled will face a grim few weeks or months. The Canadian Auto Workers union and B.C. Transit management have demonstrated in the past they are willing to use the city’s transportation network as a negotiating tool. Many other big unions – nurses, government employees and even teachers – have found ways to work within the province’s net-zero mandate. Both sides in the transit dispute claim they are too. The damage done by a transit strike is well documented. Agreeing to a contract is possible and inevitable. The CAW and B.C. Transit don’t have to shut down the city to do it. What do you think?

These unexpected discoveries can really make researching your family’s background a rewarding pastime. While I was writing this column, I was randomly typing into Google family names to see what would pop up. I quickly discovered a few new facts about my paternal grandmother’s brother, George Fowle. Then came the real surprise. My great grandfather had come to Canada with his wife and children, as well as a half-brother, Timothy Barmby. That half-brother had one child, who never had kids of his own, so that seemed like the end of the Barmby family line here. Except my search also turned up a family page for a Barmby brother or cousin who came to Canada at the same time, married in Winnipeg, had children and ended up in Saskatchewan. Who knew? Well, now we do. So now it’s back to the previous mystery: what did my grandfather do for those years in London? Don Denton is photo supervisor for Black Press Greater Victoria. ddenton@vicnews.com

LETTERS Flushing our sewage is far from an ideal situation I heard former environment minister David Anderson say recently that dumping Victoria’s sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca was “as effective as artificial land-based sewage treatment.” How can any intelligent human believe such a statement? According to Capital Regional District numbers, outfalls at Clover Point and Macaulay Point handle the effluent from 330,000 people daily, many of whom use personal-care products, laundry products, medicines and more, all contributing to a chemical stew being discharged into the local environment.
Stores throughout the region sell over-the-counter medicines, household cleansers, mouthwashes, hair dyes, bleaches and similar products every day. Additionally, many area residents use prescription drugs, virtually all of which pass through their bodies and are excreted into the waste stream. Anyone can read the warning labels on any of these products, and understand they pose a threat to the environment if not handled carefully. Even toothpaste is toxic, with labels warning users not to ingest the
product. But almost all of the areas’ 330,000 residents flush this down the drains, every day. Anderson and the Association for Responsible, Ethical and Sustainable Sewage Treatment say “source control” is their answer to the concerns about these chemical contaminants. Does he really think Victoria’s residents will stop washing their clothes, cleaning their houses, or stop taking their medicines? Many scientific studies have been done that show these chemicals are damaging the worlds’ environment. Anderson says the conditions
of the Strait of Juan de Fuca are somehow “different,” yet virtually all communities along the Strait currently have sewage treatment, except Victoria. Even little communities like Sooke, Sidney, Salt Spring Island, Friday Harbour, Port Townsend and Sequim have sewage treatment. If these communities all have funded and built sewage treatment, why can’t affluent Victoria, the Provincial Capital? Anderson tells the public an “exemption” is possible. With virtually every other nearby community already treating its
sewage, what will Victoria state as its “special” circumstances, warranting its ability to continue to pollute the areas’ environment all others are spending so much to clean up? Modern sewage treatment facilities remove 98 per cent of the chemicals of concern. Screening raw sewage before dumping it into the environment removes none of them. It is sad to see Anderson and others deceive the public in their efforts to achieve their political goals. Tyler Ahlgren Victoria
Readers respond: Ironman Canada bid, Syrian war, sewage legacy Ironman Canada bid loss a crying shame Re: Too much, too soon for Victoria (Sports, Oct. 5) What a shame. Although it was apparently the preferred location, Victoria has lost its bid to become the next host and permanent home of the Ironman Canada, a world famous triathlon event attracting thousands of participants and visitors each year. The reason given by the event organizers for not accepting Victoria’s bid was the archaic bureaucratic and stifling procedures required to obtain quick approval and continuity from 10 of our 13 municipalities in order to meet the timing and routing commitments for the event. Just another case for amalgamation wouldn’t you say? This is especially sad, since apparently Ironman Canada gave
Victoria the highest rating for its course, location and all round perfect venue. We all know the natural beauty of our area is a highlight for all participants from around the world when they participate in our many marathons and other sporting events throughout the year. Wouldn’t you think that an event of this magnitude, with the financial benefits it would bring to our area, that the provincial government, along with strong input from all municipalities in our area, would have enthusiastically endorsed our bid rather than idly sitting back, leaving just a few local interested parties to pursue the bid on their own? Maybe it’s for the best, as families from the Mainland would probably not be able to afford to come over to share in the excitement of this world-class event because of the atrocious
fare prices of our B.C. Ferries. Martin Battle Victoria
Children victimized in Syrian civil war Today, I am ashamed to be Canadian. I am appalled and disgusted that Canada is not doing more to help children in Syria. While I sit and pay for Stephen Harper’s salary and spending account, hundreds of children are dying by the day. What is the media doing to support them? Is the media applying pressure to the federal government to mobilize aid? As a Canadian citizen, I increase your ratings by turning on the news. When do you do something for me? I’m asking that you help these children, draw as much attention to their plight as you possibly can. Tell Canadian citizens what it
is they can do to help. Somebody needs to get to those children, any way they can. Rachelle Dallaire Langford
Sewage project latest Campbell legacy fiasco Should anyone be surprised that the B.C. Appeal Court has thrown out the ludicrous thirdparty advertising law that Gordon Campbell crafted? It joins the turfing-out of his drinking-driving curbside justice fiasco, his shredding of the teachers’ contracts and several others. And they join his brilliant policies like the carbon tax and the phony $100 rebate that came with it, his compulsory balancedbudget legislation, the payment of $5 million in legal fees for the defendants who pleaded guilty in the B.C. Rail scandal, his fixed election dates, $600-million
roof for B.C. Place, his closing of Tourism B.C., open cabinet meetings and dozens of equally bizarre decisions that he and his cabinet colleagues decided were so appropriate. Perhaps people will now understand how much thought went into the Campbell/Penner orders that we should spend $1 billion treating sewage effluent that is already – almost perfectly – being treated in the ocean off our southern shores. Too bad he also eliminated the requirement for a referendum, or for any environmental/economic/ social impact study, because neither would pass. When will some of our elected officials summon up the courage to start telling the truth and stop this project? Or, is the stampede of the politically correct lemmings irreversible?

Tour de Rock raises cool million Travelling 1,100 kilometres and stopping at 27 communities, this year’s Tour de Rock team has raised $1.02 million and counting. The money goes toward funding pediatric cancer research and Camp Goodtimes, a summer camp for kids with cancer and those in remission. The team rode their final few kilometres to a hero’s welcome at Centennial Square last Friday, where supporters and public
well-wishers gathered to pay tribute to the riders, all but four of whom were members of a police organization. Fifteen of the 17 riders hailed from the Capital Region, which led fundraising efforts this year. About 60 per cent of the total came from Greater Victoria. Tracie Clayton with the Canadian Cancer Society said money is still coming in and the final tally won’t be known until closer to November.
Of all the generosity demonstrated across Vancouver Island, Clayton noted the “mindblowing” $101,000 raised by Reynolds secondary in Saanich. It still brings a tear to her eye just talking about it. “Kids helping kids. It doesn’t get any sweeter than that,” Clayton said.

– Mayor Dean Fortin business model. “What provisions would there be for all-ages movie nights?” asked Coun. Ben Isitt. “I would like to understand how it’s been vetted in Vancouver,” said Coun. Chris Coleman, referring to the Rio Theatre, which is now licensed to serve alcohol during movie screenings. At staff’s recommendation,
council voted to move the application to public hearing, but with one tweak: liquor service should end at 11 p.m. rather than the proposed last call of 1 a.m. on weekends and midnight on weekdays. Sharpe did not attend the meeting to answer questions, and did not respond to requests by the News for an interview. rholmen@vicnews.com
The details: • The Roxy Theatre, at 2657 Quadra St., has applied for a primary liquor licence, commencing one hour before the screening of a film and ending at 11 p.m. at the latest. Only ticket-holding patrons would be served and the facility would not allow minors during screenings where alcohol is served. • In April, the province changed legislation to allow movie theatres and live-event theatres to apply for a licence to serve alcohol during the screening of a film. To date, nine live-event theatres have been granted licences, such as the Rio Theatre in Vancouver, and three more applications are pending. • Movie theatres have been slower to apply. So far, the province has only received two applications, but has yet to grant any.

This is the decision facing Victoria city council, whose input influences the evaluation of the application by the province. “I know the owner and respect the owner,” said Mayor Dean Fortin at last week’s governance and priorities committee meeting. “I’m worried a bit about latenight movies and alcohol and only 19 and over (permitted). That really has the potential in the wrong owner’s hands to be a community nightmare.” Added Coun. Geoff Young: “I’m inclined to be a little bit cautious. The main impact would be people emerging from the theatre, walking through the neighbourhood speaking loudly.” Council was also left with many questions about the

“I’m worried a bit about latenight movies and alcohol and only 19 and over (permitted). That really has the potential in the wrong owner’s hands to be a community nightmare.”
Liquor sales could prove another way forward for small theatres. But is it a good idea? “Time will tell,” said Aikman. “For me as a patron, it sounds like a nice idea.” But, he qualifies, it depends on how licences are implemented locally. “It could work really well in one area, and not so well in another.”

A flaming wreck near the runway of the Victoria International Airport saw a quick response from firefighters, paramedics and police on Oct. 4. Fire trucks got to the scene and doused the flames with fire retardant foam and firefighters cut into the fuselage of a downed aircraft to get to the trapped passengers inside. It was all a simulation — an emergency preparedness exercise — designed to test the response times of the airport emergency services and the crews from the Town of Sidney and the North and Central Saanich fire departments. “It’s part of our emergency preparations and we plan for it regularly,� said airport authority president and CEO Geoff Dickson. “It’s a regular event every four years to have such a major simulation.� The response to a fake downed aircraft at the west end of the airport, complete with live volunteer victims, flame, smoke and foam, went well, he said, and the emergency response department will review

One of the main goals was to ensure airport fire crews can get the call, get on the tarmac and hit a fire with foam in two minutes. “It went better than we could have expected,� Dickson said, adding there were some glitches with communications outside of the airport to their mutual aid partners.
Those hiccups would be addressed, he said, and improvements made to ensure a better result in the event of a real disaster. “It could happen here, but the probability is pretty low. But we have to prepare for it.� Around 120 people participated in the event, from emergency crews and victims to communications and security staff.
“I think it’s realistic,� Dickson said of the exercise. “When you’re in the heat of something like this, it’s always a challenge but it’s first class from what I can see in the first response.� Dickson said the airport authority will walk Transport Canada through the steps taken during the simulation. “It’s really testing your overall emergency response

Inmates find purpose in the world of Tolkien Prison production of The Hobbit celebrates 75th anniversary Kyle Wells News staff
The vast expanses of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth may be hard to imagine from life inside a prison, but for the inmates of William Head Institution, putting on The Hobbit has been a journey all their own. Under the direction of Kate Rubin, the William Head Stage Theatre Society is performing Rubin’s adaptation of Tolkien’s beloved novel from Oct. 12 to Nov. 1 at the prison, 6000 William Head Rd. Rubin has been involved as an actor with two plays at the minimum-security prison before, including last season’s Gormenghast. This year she was asked to direct, and she gladly accepted.
On this, the 75th anniversary of the publication of the novel, Rubin’s post-industrial adaptation takes a unique look at the tale. The story and dialogue remain true to the source material, but costumes and sets are meant to reflect a more contemporary working-class sensibility. The tone of the play touches on subjects more common to Kyle Wells/News staff recent newspaper headlines Actor Bronwyn Steinberg plays than Tolkien’s Middle-earth. “It relates to the devastation an elven queen in Kate Rubin's that can happen from greed,” post-industrial take on The Hobbit Rubin said. “The environmen- being performed at William Head tal devastation, the social Institution from Oct. 12 to Nov. 10. devastation, things breaking down so that there becomes these The cast is made up of inmates, creatures like Gollum, who has plus three professional actresses lost his humanity.” who are brought in to play the
female roles. Monica Prendergast, Anne Cirillo and Bronwyn Steinberg have come in as professional actors and two professionals are also involved in the crew: Carole Klemm, the designer, and puppeteer Tim Gosley. Admitting she was at first a bit nervous to work with the prisoners, Steinberg, who plays the elven queen, among other parts, said the experience has been overwhelmingly positive and has reinvigorated her love of theatre and its more human aspects. She has been amazed to see the enthusiasm and commitment of the inmates. “Even in just the few weeks that I’ve been involved you can see they’ve been building confidence and also just a sense of ownership and agency,” Steinberg said. “You can see them just growing through the show and through the process.”

Rubin too, said it’s amazing to see the transformative power of theatre and just how beneficial the process of putting on a play is for the inmates. Many come into the process shy and unsure, Rubin said, but by the end are proud to have been a part of something positive and productive. “They want to give and they don’t get that opportunity very much,” Rubin said. “Especially someone who feels shame for what they’ve done, and if they’ve come through that shame, there’s a huge need to give.” Tickets are $20 and are available at Ticket Rocket, 2-1609 Blanshard St., My Chosen Cafe, 4480 Happy Valley Rd., online at TicketRocket. org or by phone at 250-391-6291.

The essence of Zeppelin From high energy electric classics to beautiful acoustic works, Led Zepagain resurrects original Led Zeppelin front man Jimmy Page’s soaring guitar leads, John Paul Jones’ brilliant keyboard passages, John Bonham’s trademark pounding rhythms and signature Robert Plant vocals.

As you experience Submitted photo immortal classics Stairway to Heaven, Immigrant Song, Led Zepagain brings Led Zeppelin Whole Lotta Love, Rock ‘n’ back to life at the Upstairs Cabaret Roll and Black Dog, you’ll Oct. 13.
believe Page is right; Led Zepagain is “as close as you’ll ever get to the real deal.” Taking on the role of Page is Christian Nesmith, son of famous Monkee Michael Nesmith. After watching Page perform in Zeppelin’s live concert movie The Song Remains the Same, Nesmith settled his focus on guitar. An avid student of Page from age 13, his intense application of the tone and style of the master has made Nesmith a guitar master. For ticket information go to ticketweb.ca. llavin@vicnews.com

Shining the spotlight on final link in news chain Newspaper carriers appreciated for their weekly efforts Don Descoteau News staff
It’s easy to take for granted the community newspaper that gets delivered to your door twice a week. Readers should know, however, that Black Press doesn’t take the people who distribute the Victoria News for granted. “For me the carriers are number one,� says Black Press Greater Victoria circulation director Bruce Hogarth, who oversees about 1,100 delivery people throughout the system. “Without the carriers, all the hard work that goes into producing the newspaper would be for naught.� Newspaper Carrier Appreciation Week in B.C. runs from tomorrow (Oct. 13) through Oct. 20. To celebrate, the News
and parent company Black Press are spotlighting the youth and adults who are the final link in the news chain that starts with stories being written and advertisements sold and ends with people taking time out to read our print products. In Greater Victoria, the small army of Black Press carriers deliver free community newspapers to approximately 100,000 homes and businesses. Carriers are valued and appreciated for that weekly effort, Hogarth says, noting the job comes with a lot of responsibility. “For a lot of our carriers, this is their first job and it’s a great opportunity for them to learn valuable skills that they can carry forward.� He also credits those parents who play a major role in helping younger carriers fulfill Black Press’ commitment to the readers of the News. The News rewards carriers through the year with in-house contests and prize draws. If you’re interested in finding out more about becoming a News carrier, call 250-360-0817. editor@vicnews.com

Chargers golfers slip in B.C. tie-breaker
Omwenga doubles Adam Campbell well-suited to task Travis Paterson News staff
Kenyan Thomas Omwenga won the GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon for the second year in a row on Sunday, but his record stands from 2011. Omwenga finished the course on an “unseasonally warm” day with a time of two hours, 20 minutes and 41 seconds, which is six minutes slower than his record of 2:13:44 set in 2011. Gilbert Kiptoo, another Kenyan, came second at 2:27:01. Portland’s Hallie Janssen was the top woman with a time of 2:47:03, just 33 seconds ahead of Nadyia Fry (Invermere), the second-overall woman. The two were 14th and 15th overall, with Victoria’s Catrin Jones the third woman and 19th overall finisher in a time of 2:49:02. Easily the most fashionable effort from Sunday’s 33rd annual Victoria Marathon was Adam Campbell’s impressive time of 2:35:53. Campbell, a lawyer and ultramarathoner from Victoria, managed not to overheat under autumn sun while wearing a suit, blazer and tie. He should qualify for the Guinness World Records fastest marathon in a suit, breaking the previous time 3:24.

Thomas Omwenga, left, Gilbert Kiptoo and Philip Samoei take the early lead at the 33rd Annual GoodLife Fitness Victoria Marathon on Oct. 7. Other notables include Vancouver’s Graeme Wilson, third overall in the marathon. Wilson was the top B.C. runner and the top men’s master with a time of 2:29:17, winning the B.C. marathon championship. First time marathoners, Nikki Jomha and Greg Robbins, two locals featured in the News’ fall series On the Run, finished the race in 4:21:26 and 3:57:40, respectively. Barefoot runner Derek Shaw, also part of On the Run, completed the halfmarathon in 2:09:47. Natasha Fraser outdueled Lucy Njeri and broke her own course record in the half-marathon from 2011, with a new record of 1:14:06 to Njeri’s 1:14:27. Rutto Kibet (Edmonton) was the top
male in the half-marathon with a time of 1:04:27, with Victoria’s Geoff Martinson running to second in 1:05:39. Local Jim Finlayson was the top master runner in the half-marathon, his first run in the over-40 master category, finishing in 1:08:51, eighth overall. Chris Winter (Vancouver) won the eight kilometre road race in 24:13. Rachel Cliff (Vancouver) was the top woman at 27:43 Registration numbers: 2,056 registered for the marathon, 5,503 for the half, 2,844 in the eight-km, 1,100 in the Thrifty Foods Kids Run, for a total of 11,503.

Runnin’ Rebel on record pace Travis Paterson News staff

Rebels running back Greg Morris is eyeing the BCFC record for total yards rushed in a season.
NEWS
Greg Morris can expect some added attention this weekend. Breaking a 13-year-old Canadian Junior Football League rushing record will do that. The Westshore Rebels running back carried the ball 24 times against the Kamloops Broncos, in Kamloops on Saturday, to an astounding 405 yards, scoring four touchdowns along the way, including a 91-yard scamper. Morris now leads the league in rushing with a total of 1,471 yards and 17 touchdowns scored. The Rebels move to seven wins and two losses, second place in the B.C. Football Conference standings. The win also eliminated the Broncos from their playoff hopes. With one regular season game remaining, all that’s left to decide for the Rebels is home advantage in the upcoming playoff semifinal against the Langley Rams. This Saturday the Rebels visit the Vancouver Island Raiders, while the Rams face the Okanagan Sun. Playing against the Raiders in the final game of Morris’ career year is fitting. It was with the Raiders that current B.C. Lions running back Andrew Harris
broke the 400-yard mark during the 2008 playoffs. And even though Saturday’s game bears no outcome on the Raiders’ plans (they’ll host the Sun in the other semifinal), Morris and the Rebels can expect a strong defensive effort from the Raiders. Morris needs to run the ball 122 yards to break Matt Medwick’s BCFC rushing record of 1,592 yards in a season, set with the Valley Huskers in 2000. However, five yards is all Morris needs to take Harris’ spot behind Medwick on the season list, ahead of Harris’ best season in 2009. Surprisingly, the previous single game rushing record in the BCFC, now held by Morris, was not Harris’, but was actually 338 yards, set by Eric Scott of the Richmond Raiders in 1985. Harris broke 338 in the playoffs, but not during the regular season. Morris also added 50 yards to the previous Canadian record of 355-yards, accomplished by Craig Carter of the Windsor AKO Fratmen in 1999. Fourteen of Morris’ 17 touchdowns this year are from the rush, which likely puts him out of reach of Harris’ 2009 BCFC league record of 20 TDs rushed, 24 TDs in total. sports@vicnews.com
The Camosun Chargers men’s golf team is going to the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Golf National Championships. The Chargers led the PacWest conference with a five-stroke lead going into the fourth and final tournament over Thanksgiving. That’s where the host Fraser Valley Cascades defeated the Chargers in a tie-breaker to win the 2012 PacWest championship. Despite slipping to second place in the season’s standings the Chargers will attend the nationals, Oct. 15 to 19, hosted at the Oshawa Golf Club by Durham College in Oshawa, Ont. “It was a tough weekend for us,” Chargers coach John Randle said in the team’s press release. “It came right down to the wire and we didn’t get it done.” After the first round of the UFV Invitational at Chilliwack Golf and Country Club, the Chargers led the cumulative season standings by nine strokes, with one round to go to win the championship. That’s when the lead crumbled. UFV caught the Chargers on Day 2 and, with a cumulative season total of 2,354 strokes each after four tournaments, the two went to a tie-breaker, which UFV won. “All things considered, the guys played hard and conducted themselves as gentlemen and they represented Camosun with class and skill,” Randle said. The Chargers settled for silver in the team standings but Jarred Callbeck, who was twice named the PacWest golfer of the week this year, won the men’s gold medal. Callbeck shot a cumulative total of 578 over 144 holes in the fall season, five strokes better than Aaron Pauls of UFV. The Chargers men’s team are Callbeck (Claremont secondary), Jared Hundza (Pacific Christian School), Kevin Walz (Kwalikum secondary, Qualicum), Grant Maskiewich (Smithers secondary) and Kevin Bredy (Sir Winston Churchill, Calgary, Alta). sports@vicnews.com

Until the buzzer sounds First-place Victoria Royals finding identity Travis Paterson News staff
Call them clutch, call them competitive, call them whatever you want, the Victoria Royals are winning. Through the first eight games the Royals had six wins, half of those came in extra time. Forward Logan Nelson is one of the most visible reasons the team is off to a great start. The 19 year old is playing noticably more physical and is chipping in timely goals, like the one he scored to tie the game against the Tri City Americans with 35 seconds left on Saturday to make it 3-3. He then scored the only goal of the shootout to cap a come-from-behind 4-3 victory. It was his second shootout winner this year. “I’ve been lucky in the shootout, getting bounces I guess,” Nelson said. All in all, it was a solid three games in three nights road trip for the Royals, as they bounced back from a 5-3 loss to the Spokane Chiefs on Friday to beat the Americans Saturday and Vancouver Giants 2-1 on Sunday. “I really liked the adjustments
we made on Saturday and the resiliency we showed (after Friday’s loss),” Lowry said. “We had a goal called back on the powerplay but came back and scored again, and that’s a good sign.” Saturday was also the second time this season Nelson scored the only goal of the shootout, thereby winning the game for the Royals (in partnership with goalie Patrik Polivka, who has let in zero goals on six shootout attempts). Nelson’s other shootout goal was against the Kamloops Blazers on Sept. 28, also a 4-3 win. “We’re much better at staying positive and if they get a goal, we know it’s not the end of the world,” Nelson said. “We’re not going to give up until the buzzer goes, especially when the other team thinks they’ve got the win.” Without Steven Hodges, who was perhaps the team’s best player in the first three games before getting injured, the recent success of Nelson and the Royals is all the more impressive. As of Wednesday morning, Nelson was second in team scoring with three goals and six assists, behind Alex Gogolev’s three goals and eight assists. “It’s been up to the older guys to pick it up. We definitely miss Steve in the lineup,” Nelson said.

“Gogolev has been great. He’s got eyes in the back of his head finding guys out there.” With Hodges out, Nelson moved off of Gogolev’s line and, onto a line with Jamie Crooks and Austin Carroll, though Nelson and Gogolev have skated together on the powerplay and with the extra attacker. “I’ve been able to be compatible with (Crooks) and (Carroll) and game-by-game, we’re getting better,” Nelson said. Trend or no trend, coming back from behind and winning in extra time is the biggest difference from last year’s Royals, and coach Dave Lowry isn’t picky right now about the way his team wins. “This is a team searching for an identity right now,” Lowry said, “coming from behind, winning close games, winning in shootouts. When you’re winning you’re looking for new ways to challenge the team just as you would when you’re losing.” The Royals results from Wednesday’s game against the Kamloops Blazers were past press time. sports@vicnews.com

Embracing your inner child Nostalgia drives popular toy and hobby show
Fun For All Ages!
Kid Friendly
Edward Hill News staff
Back in 1982 when a kid in Victoria tore open packaging for a Star Wars action figure and promptly lost the small bits behind the couch, the idea that Han Solo would become collectible and valuable never entered into the equation. What were toys of long-ago childhoods are now trophies of the modern hobby collector. Bragging rights and prestige goes to the guy with a 1970s GI Joe kung-fu grip in mint condition, obscure Hot Wheels cars, or discontinued Lego bits. All that is vintage, rare, nostalgic and collectible in the wide-world of geek-dom – think Big Bang Theory in real life – will be found at Victoria’s Ultimate Hobby and Toy Fair at Pearkes Arena on Sunday. “People get to relive their childhood on their own terms,” says Candice Woodward, who organizes the show and owns Cherry Bomb Toys in downtown Victoria with her husband, Biagio. “There’s such a big range of toys – there’s something for everybody,” she says,

Celebrating a quarter-century as a Ford dealer, Ron Ford recently welcomed hundreds of cars to his 25th annual hot rod party at Ocean Park Ford in White Rock. ALYN EDWARDS He may, in fact, have CLASSIC Canada’s best collection RIDES of historic hot rods. Ron Ford has been a car nut since the age of 14 when he and a 16-year-old neighbour in Victoria chopped and channeled a 1934 Ford cabriolet, installed a hopped up flathead V8 engine and took off on a trip to visit relatives in Calgary. Neither of the two friends had a driver’s license and they had taught themselves how to do body and mechanical work. Ron drove that hot rod for several years as he went into the soft drink distribution business. He built more sophisticated street rods as his career took him to Nanaimo where he became the 7-Up soft drink distributor. As time passed, he found most of his car friends lived in the Vancouver area and he spent much of his leisure time there attending car shows, so he decided in 1980 to move to White Rock. Here Ron Ford went into the car business, not with Ford, but as the salesman and then sales manager for a Datsun dealership. His interest in vintage Ford street rods continued as he honed his skills as a car salesman and manager. When Ford approached him in 1986 to set up a small “whistle stop” dealership to provide service to customers in the

growing White Rock area, Ron Ford moved quickly to establish Ocean Park Ford. To get off to a good start, he took his best salesmen with him to open the dealership which has grown to become one of B.C.’s top Ford stores. The business was among the first to locate in the Surrey Auto Mall which now has multiple dealerships. The idea for a hot rod show grew from Ron Ford asking a few of his car

modified 1932 Ford phaeton and a coveted roadster that is a restored original purchased from a Penticton Ford dealership after the classic was traded in on a new Lincoln. His warehouse features a row of Model T Ford street rods. He has owned his 1915 Ford Model T Ford roadster with its brass accessories for 50 years. It has had many configurations for mechanical power over the years. Ron’s long-time friendship with legendary California street rod builder Roy Brizio led to the car being completely rebuilt into a showpiece in Brizio’s San Francisco shop. The car is powered by a modified 60 horsepower Ford V8 engine from the mid 1930s. Ron has two other 1932 Ford street rods in his collection custom built by Brizio. A Sportsman Green (chartreuse) 1950 Ford convertible has been in his collection for 20 years. He pursued the car for six years to buy it from the original owner
in California. The low-mileage convertible with original paint and interior has modern mechanical components. His all-original 1940 Ford convertible was purchased from the elderly son of the Kamloops woman who had owned the car since new. It is in remarkably well-preserved condition. Another original car is a very rare 1939 Ford convertible sedan that has most of its original paint. It has been repowered with modern mechanical components. With a busy dealership and other interests, Ron Ford no longer builds or does the heavy work on the cars. “I just play around with them,” he says. “I have some young guys in the shop who love these cars and wait for me to create a problem so they can fix it.” Alyn Edwards is a classic car enthusiast and partner in Peak Communicators, a Vancouverbased public relations company. aedwards@peakco.com

Galaxy Motors is making it easy to keep your vehicle looking great and help the community at the same time with its second annual October Food Drive. After filling their first car with food last October – at least five shopping carts full – the staff looked forward to trying to collect even more food in 2012, says Galaxy Sales Manager David King. This year, the Galaxy team is trying to fill a four-door Ford Fiesta. All people need to do is bring in a donation of nonexpired, non-perishable food for the Goldstream Food Bank – a
minimum $10 worth of food is suggested – and they’ll receive a full car wash, including windows and vacuum, King notes. “We like to support the community, especially here in the West Shore where our base is,” King says. “We try to do a few different things every year.” The food bank, while busy with donations around the holidays, can experience a lack of food at other times of the year, so October seemed a great time for Galaxy staff to led their support. And with the fall rains finally making their appearance, King encourages passers-by to come in often through the end of October – to help fill the Fiesta and keep your wheels looking shiny!

Audi makes space for new A3 Sportback in Paris
Up to $3,500 in enhanced value on all 2013 Accord models
3D ‘Optic’ look inlay manufactured in a complex process to produce a glass-like appearance which gives it intense depth is available as an option.
METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
The third-generation Audi A3 Sportback debuted at this year’s Paris Motor Show. While the length (4,310 millimetres), width (1,780 mm) and height (1,425 mm) are only slightly greater than for the previous model, the wheelbase now measures 2,636 mm, an increase of 58 mm. This makes the five-door model 35 mm longer between the axles than the three-door version. The design with the three side windows is taut and concentrated. The distinguishing element at the front of the A3 Sportback is the distinctive, stone grey single-frame grille with its angled upper corners. Thanks to the 58 mm increase in wheelbase length, the A3 Sportback offers ample rear seat space and easy access for three adults. It also offers several millimetres more head and leg room than its predecessor. The interior of the new A3 Sportback conveys the luxurious look and feel of the full-size class. The sculpted inlays are just one of its highlights. Depending on the version these have a Micrometallic Silver, Aluminum Mistral or matt brushed aluminum finish. An optional

Kia enters the ranks of the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands’ METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Kia Motors Corporation has entered the exclusive list of the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands,’ according to the 2012 study released by Interbrand, the world’s largest brand consultancy agency. Kia’s remarkable increase in brand
value is now estimated at $4.1 billion USD, which firmly sets the automaker at 87th place on the ‘Top 100 Best Global Brands’ list. This is a 50 per cent increase from last year’s estimated brand value and far exceeds the average automotive brand value growth rate of 11 per cent. Expert analysts executed the
2012 edition of Interbrand’s annual ‘Best Global Brands’ study through a comprehensive brand performance analysis using best practice research methodology. The study measures a corporation’s financial performance in terms of the raw financial return to investors; the role that a brand plays in the actual purchase decision; and brand
strength, which is the ability of a brand to secure the delivery of expected future earnings. In addition to the major advances Kia has made on the product front, the company has also been executing numerous large-scale marketing initiatives that have helped raise awareness of the brand.

Cosworth develops ultimate performance Hyundai Genesis METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM
Hyundai chose the world-renowned engineering design and manufacturer, Cosworth as a development partner to create the ultimate Genesis Coupe known as the Cosworth Genesis Racing Series. The eye-grabbing blue Cosworth CGRS concept will be showcased with the Hyundai brand at the upcoming 2012 SEMA show. This special Cosworth-tuned model takes the new Genesis Coupe 3.8-litre, directinjected engine to racecar levels, with an impressive 389 hp at 6,400 rpm, and tireshredding torque of 325 lb/f. at 5,100 rpm, all with daily-driving civility. From the exterior, the Cosworth design theme radiates a retina-bending satin-gloss blue finish, aero front splitter, gunmetal finish lightweight racing wheels, integrated rear spoiler and blackout rear diffuser. While unmistakably race-oriented, the Cosworth concept retains the original Genesis Coupe design language, focusing most on astounding performance gains and real-world performance potential. While the exterior is purposeful and subdued, the Cosworth Genesis Coupe goes far beyond exterior cosmetics, with maximized under-hood performance modifications, a race-like interior environment, tires, brakes and suspension.

PLAN YOUR BUSINESS’S GROWTH Beat the competition with disciplined expansion
S
ay you have a successful small business. You have a few employees, and things are going fine. If you’re like many entrepreneurs, you may never take time to sit down and think about your future growth – how to take your company to the next level in a smart, disciplined way. But growth is an issue many business owners ignore at their peril. In fact, it might just be one of the most important issues facing them as entrepreneurs. “If you decide not to grow, you may be paving a path to failure,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “If you don’t grow, your competitors will, and that will put pressure on you.” The good news, Latour says, is that business owners can create a road map to guide them and reduce their risk as they grow their enterprise. The road map can help them find more growth opportunities and avoid common mistakes, like failing to delegate responsibility to employees.

Plan for Growth To develop your road map, start by committing time to outlining a plan for your growth, Latour says. A few important basics include: • A clear picture of your business’s current strengths, weaknesses and opportunities; • A vision for where you want your company to be in the next three to five years; • An action plan to achieve your vision (who will do what and by when). Your growth plan could be anything from a rough, informal sketch to a full-blown, highly detailed strategic plan, including everything from a mission statement to scenario planning and financial forecasts. What’s vital is getting the key players in your company on the same page, thinking about your future. “If you’re going to grow, you should absolutely have a plan,” says Paul Cubbon, who teaches entrepreneurship and innovation at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. “Failing to plan is planning to fail.”

WE CARE ABOUT SMALL BUSINESS Latour agrees. “The plan doesn’t have to be pages and pages long. Sometimes the simpler, the better. But if you don’t have a planned, disciplined approach to growth, you’re probably going to make more mistakes.”
DOs and DON’Ts for growing a small business
DO Grow smart – Whatever you focus on as a growth opportunity, be sure it’s the right path for you and your business, says Paul Cub-
Celebrate Small Business Week October 14 to 20
According to the Business Development Bank of Canada, small and medium-sized businesses are the cornerstone of the Canadian economy. They account for 99.8 per cent of all Canadian companies and employ more than 60 per cent of private sector workers. The BDC encourages Small Business Week activities to provide an opportunity to celebrate, develop new skills, make new contacts and plan for new opportunities.
DID YOU KNOW?
You’ve decided you want to expand your small business but aren’t sure how. Here’s three tips from the experts: DO Leverage existing clients – Looking for growth opportunities? Don’t forget your existing clients. They could be your best path to expansion success. It’s usually much easier to find new business from current clients than to start afresh with untested ones. “Listen to existing clients, and see what they need,” says Patrick Latour, Senior Vice President, Financing and Consulting at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “Ask them how you can help them be even better. Can you help them in ways they don’t know about?” Latour also advises growth-oriented entrepreneurs to seek out opportunities to join the supply chains of multinational corporations.
Halifax
bon, who teaches entrepreneurship at the University of British Columbia’s Sauder School of Business. Don’t expand into new business areas just because you can. “People think growth will bring a more profitable situation. But they may grow from one to 20 employees and not make any more money, while working twice as hard,” Cubbon says. “It’s not just about growth. It’s about smart growth.” Be sure new business offers the same margins as you currently enjoy and helps you differentiate yourself from the competition. DON’T micromanage – Growing companies often wind up in trouble when the entrepreneur has trouble delegating decisions to staff. “Hire good people and trust them,” Latour says. “Let your people work, while you spend more time thinking about your strategic focus and your next move.”

How to build your company’s growth team
A
fast-growing business can be an exciting place to work. The days may be long, but they’re often full of opportunity and new experiences. But amid the daily challenges, expanding companies often underestimate the importance of making plans and decisions about employees. It can happen in many ways – failing to attract and retain the best people; neglecting staff training and support needs; micromanaging and resisting delegation. “When a company expands, its human resources capacity has to keep up,” says Mary Karamanos, Senior Vice President, Human Resources at the Business Development Bank of Canada. “An expansion plan can easily go off the rails if the right people aren’t in the right positions, fully trained and ready to assume their new responsibilities. “A common mistake that growing companies make is not taking enough time to plan their HR needs,” Karamanos says. “A good place to start is to define roles and responsibilities. That will bring clarity to what needs to be accomplished and what knowledge, experience and competency is required. “The good news is small businesses
ditional methods, including tried-andtrue word of mouth. How can you avoid costly hiring mistakes? Take the time to do a thorough job screening candidates. Do several interviews with a prospect, and arrange to see them in action. For example, you can ask them to complete an assignment or make a presentation of the kind they would be doing in the position. Check references. And remember: a good fit with your company’s culture is crucial. Employee training – Development needs may be minimal if your business is small, but some training may still be worthwhile to keep employees interested and progressing. Plan to increase formal training as you grow. As well, support new hires via a buddy program and regular one-on-one sit-downs with a manager. When someone takes on a new role, assign them a buddy who did the task before. Retention – A positive, inspiring work climate is vital. Money is important, of course, but so is sincere appreciation, clear expectations and an inspiring company vision. “People really want to be part of a powerful story and a winning company,” says Molinaro.
often attract top employees because they can often offer challenging responsibilities, good learning opportunities and personal growth,” Karamanos says.
Create a Talent Plan Leadership expert Vince Molinaro advises businesses to create a talent plan that integrates how they will recruit, develop and retain employees as the company grows. Recruiting – Social media has revolutionized recruitment, particularly business-oriented sites such as LinkedIn. It’s important to tap your social networks to get the word out about job openings, including through LinkedIn’s discussion groups. But don’t forget tra-
