Civic Election Day 2014
If the advance polls are any indication, inter-est in this years municipal election is higher than usual in Victoria.
The first two advance polls on Nov. 6 and Nov. 10 attracted 2,600 voters nearly dou-ble the amount of advance voters in the last election. There were three advance polls in Victoria this year, compared to two in 2011. Numbers from Wednesdays advancepoll are not included in the total yet, meaning the true number of advance voters is even higher.

Message to Property OwnersMaintenance of Drainage System
Before winter rainstorms arrive, now is the time for home owners to check gutters, downspouts and perimeter drains around the house to ensure everything is working properly.
1. Clear your gutters and downspouts of all leaves and debris. Ensure that they remain clear through the winter.
2. Have your drain system cleaned and repaired if necessary. Remember, drain tiles will plug over time with mud, silt or roots, and in some cases, may even have failed due to age.
3. Ensure that any surface drain, such as those located at the bottom of the driveways and stairwells, are clear of mud and debris and remain clear through the winter.
The Municipality will make every effort to keep road side catch basins clear. Residents are requested to help by not depositing or allowing the accumulation of leaves in the curb and gutter.

Politicos court undecided voters as civic election nears endAndrea PeacockVictoria News
There will be a lot of door knock-ing before this weekend.
Mayoral candidates in Victoria and Esquimalt will be doing every-thing they can to get their names out there and connect with voters before the results are in on Saturday night.
Its not over yet, said Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins. Were still out there trying to engage everybody in any way possible.
Desjardins said for her, going door to door and talking to residents has been an effective tool.
The residents of Esquimalt have been willing to open their doors; theyre certainly engaged, theyre asking questions.
Besides knocking on doors, Des-jardins said she has also been using Facebook as a way to generate con-versations, and also meeting and greeting people in public places.
People are very happy to come up to you and give you their thoughts, she said.
Esquimalt mayoral candidate Scott Attrill said he has been going out door knocking as well, every night after work. Although he said he already knows many of the peo-ple through his barber shop, Floyds Hairstyling.
Its just a matter of letting them know that Scott Attrill is Floyd, he said.
Attrill added he is running for mayor because of certain issues in the township. If you want a true rep-resentation of your concerns, then you need to vote, he said.
Esquimalt mayoral candidate John Ducker said he has been trying to reach as many people as he can through canvasing door-to-door as well as newspaper and radio ads. He said meeting residents in person has been crucial.
The more you can come into contact with people directly, the bet-ter it is, said Ducker. Im sensing
strongly in the community that peo-ple want a different perspective in their municipal councils.
In Victoria, the mayoral candi-dates are also working hard on the last day before the election.
Were out knocking on every door, were making phone calls, we are out talking to people on the street, said Mayor Dean Fortin. It gives an opportunity for people to know who you are. Its about under-standing the values behind the per-son youre voting for.
Victoria mayoral candidate Ste-phen Andrew is also continuing to campaign up until the end of the election.
Were definitely call-ing people, continu-ing to have meetings with groups, standing on the side of the road with signs and creat-ing awareness, said Andrew.
He said knocking on doors has been an effective way of connecting with people.
I cannot walk down the street now without someone coming up and wishing me well, said Andrew. You really see, when you get involved in this process, how much difference you can make in peoples lives.
Victoria mayoral candidate Ida Chong said she will not rest until she has gotten the chance to speak with as many people as she can.
All you can do is let people know a little more about you, said Chong. When it comes to local politics, it is really about people connecting much much more than at the pro-vincial or federal level.
Chong said it is important to get out to vote and consider who would be best for the job.
If you do want a change in leader-ship then I would ask [voters] to cast their eyes on all the candidates, and who would be the one most [capable] for the position.
Victoria mayoral candidate Lisa Helps said she has been door knock-ing since July, and continues to do so along with making phone calls and handing out flyers. She said most important for her is connecting one-on-one with people.
Really it is building a relationship with as many people as possible that can get to know me, said Helps. Word of mouth is key.
Last chance, last dance for candidates

There will be one dominant name miss-ing on the ballot Satur-day, when Esquimalt residents head to the polls to elect a new township council and mayor.
Dave Hodgins, who was first elected to council in 2011, is the only member of the current council not seeking re-election.
I was waiting to see who might step up, said Hodgins, 65. There are some very good candidates.
When Hodgins ran for council three years ago, he wasnt bargaining on one term, or three, or
four, he was just taking it as it comes.
He said he isnt quite finished with politics yet. Two political par-ties (he wouldnt say which ones) are woo-ing him to run in the next federal election.
Hodgins said he is proud of the work Esquimalt council was able to accomplish in the last three years, including no munici-pal tax increases and approving significant
development projects.Unfortunately, a
slowing economy forced many of those projects to be delayed such as the Cambie and Admirals Road devel-opments.
He said council also wasnt able to put enough focus on improving the com-munitys image, mainly due to other issues that needed to be dealt with such as the policing contract and regional sewage.
We did a lot of good work in supporting art and culture. That really helped a lot in terms of the impression people have about Esquimalt, he said.
Coun. Tim Morrison said Hodgins is a top-tier councillor and will be missed around the council table.
He was always diplo-matic and always open to other opinions.
For Hodgins, it was just about doing the right thing.
I always tried to bring balance to the [council] table, Hodgins said.
Douglas StewartDouglas Stewart owns Utopia, a T-shirt store in
the red zone. On a daily basis, he witnesses the problems of a downtown in decline.
Why should I vote for you? The current city council is dominated by the left
wing. Balance needs to be restored with the election of candidates who have a background in business.
Your main goal if elected? Most politicians are talkers. Im a doer. I
believe in creative solutions. Victoria should be taking lessons from Portland on how to create a vibrant city.

Mike YipContributor
At one time, southern Vancouver Island was a mecca for butterflies and attracted scientists and collectors from all over North America.
The expansive Garry oak meadows and rolling grasslands were perfect butterfly habitats, and in 1884, prominent lepidopterist George Taylor noted that 40 species were considered abundant.
Unfortunately, after a century of urbanization and human activity, many species have been extirpated, most existing populations are in decline and several species are endangered.
Butterfly survival is precarious at the best of times. It is a challenge just to survive natural obstacles like extreme weather, parasites and predators. Those that make it must then face a gauntlet of human-related hazards like habitat destruction, pesticide spraying and invasive plants and predators.
The toll on butterflies in the Victoria region has been significant. The distribution maps in Butterflies of British Columbia indicate that 61 species have been historically recorded in the region. In the recently published
Victoria Nature Guide, local butterfly specialist James Miskelly estimated that only 30 to 35 species can still be found. Unfortunately, that means about 50 per cent of butterfly species have likely been lost in the Capital Region.
Butterflies are one of the most beautiful and fascinating creatures on earth and one of the intangibles that make our world such a wonderful place to live. For that alone, they should be saved, but the bigger picture is that they are an
integral part of the fabric of nature.
Most people forget that nature supplies us with essentials such as the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and medicines that cure our diseases. Saving butterflies is tantamount to saving nature, and in many cases, that is as simple as preserving natural habitats and sensitive ecosystems. Whats good for butterflies is also good for humans.
Three of the endangered species that still exist in Greater Victoria are the
propertius duskywing, the common ringlet, and the Western branded skipper. The propertius duskywing relies on Garry oaks as its main host plant and is only found around Garry oak meadows; the common ringlet survives mainly in grassland habitats like Rithets Bog, Viaduct Flats and Island View Beach; and the Western branded skipper requires specific grassland habitat like Cordova Spit. Whether these species survive will depend a lot on the human commitment to
maintain and preserve their natural habitats.

author of Vancouver
Island Butterflies, avail-able at Bolen Books, Munros Books, and Tan-ners Books for $34.95. Greater Victoria ecologist
James Miskelly assisted with the book by produc-ing updated distribution maps and contributing several photos.

Voters face daunting task
Voters have good reason to make their way to polling stations on Saturday to elect mayors, councillors and school trustees.
Proposed housing and commercial developments, transportation pressures, recreational needs, childrens education and policing are among the local issues. They affect people directly and often personally.
Yet if past behaviour is any guide most residents of Victoria and Esquimalt will ignore this opportunity to influence what happens in their community. In the 2011 civic election just 26 per cent of eligible voters in Victoria cast ballots. In Esquimalt about 18 per cent
voted.Part of the reason for this feeble display
of citizenship surely lies with the task facing anyone who tries to exercise the franchise.
Voters must choose from daunting lists of candidates, most of whom theyve never heard of. They fall back on voting purely name recognition. In Victoria there are 24 candidates vying for eight seats and 12 for six seats in Esquimalt. And those dont even include the mayors contests.
Trying to inform oneself of where each candidate stands seem nearly impossible but its a duty we must do by scanning media reports, connecting with the candidates web pages and meeting them, if possible, face to face.
The choices we make are crucial to our future and our neighbours as the debate continues on the regional sewage plan and municipal amalgamation
We trust that citizens throughout the region will turn out in numbers that do credit to our civic process and honour the efforts of all the candidates in the often gruelling campaigns.
Voting matters.
YOUR VIEW
It is encouraging that movement to improve government in the Capital Region is underway.
Citizens are interested in better local and regional government in spite of Colwoods refusal to recognize this. Meanwhile the province appears not to take an interest in good government in the region. It says to the municipalities, it is up to you to arrange things for yourselves. What if these arrangements are not working and getting worse?
Tax dollars flow to local government from the province. Would the province not want to have those dollars used as efficiently as possible? Would the province not be interested in promoting good governance at the local level? It seems not.
Problems have been mounting and no action taken. The sewage debacle is only the latest example of dysfunctional government.
In jurisdictions elsewhere in Canada, senior governments have taken the lead in promoting change through intense local consultation. The process is collaborative but the senior government takes the lead.
The province should examine the problems of government in the region and propose options -- in consultation with citizens -- for improvement. These would then be the subject of a referendum to be held in the short term.
You could say there is a crisis in
local government and steps should be taken now to deal with it, not in four or eight years. The province must offer the leadership that many in the region are asking for. Municipalities need leadership and support from senior government.

The embarrassing faux pas that Green Party leader Elizabeth May committed recently while tweeting about the Jian Ghomeshi scandal at the CBC provides another example why I will have nothing to do with tweets or twitters.
I think all tweeting and twittering should be left to the birds, who are clearly the experts in this area.
Indeed, I have been listening to birds for more than 70 years now and I have never once heard a bird say anything stupid while tweeting or twittering.
By contrast, many humans dont seem to be able to tweet or twitter for more than a few minutes without making some dumb remark.
I attribute the birds incomparably superior abilities in this regard mainly to the fact that they have had so much experience honing their tweeting and twittering skills over the millennia.

Fletcher out to lunch on climate change
Re: Hot gases spew from legislature (B.C. Views, Nov. 5)
I beg to differ with Tom Fletcher. There is no climate debate and the jury is not still out on whether climate change is actually occurring.
The vast preponderance of scientific studies on the subject support the premise that the earth is heating up quickly due to anthropogenic causes. To suggest that only those who are left thinking accept that climate change is real, is ridiculous.
I would suggest it is thinking people, rather than left thinking people who have read the studies, listened to the experts and come to the inescapable conclusion that climate change is real and it is happening now. What exactly will it take to convince you Mr. Fletcher?
How long must we wait before our political and business leaders (and some journalists) take climate change seriously and start taking strong measures to reduce our carbon output? There are still some people who believe the earth is flat. They are wrong, just as those who deny climate change are wrong.

Move over Obama, make way for the HellcatWashington D.C. - The U.S. capital is an exciting place to be, with all those presidential comings and goings, and crowds gathering near the gates of the White House in the hope of catching a glimpse of the leader of the free world.But on a recent day, all the exciting action was happen-ing at Summit Point Raceway, about an hour and half away in neighbouring Virginia, where a smaller crowd of journalists got more than a glimpse of the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat.
LooksThe first leg of the launch event was held at Ronald Reagan airport, in a hangar cleared to display the entire Charger lineup. They looked like colorful jellybeans scattered in different trim levels ranging from the base V6 model to the R/T models featuring a 5.7L V8, then to the SRT high performance 392 model, and the all-new, for 2015, Hellcat with 707 hp. The 2015 Charger gets an all-new exterior, the only holdover pieces are the roof and rear doors, and the rest is new, more aggressive, sleeker and muscular. The nose now has a less blunt look, with a slimmer headlight design that is meant to look like a bandit, wearing a mask. Each trim has different grille openings and in the case of the high horsepower Hellcat, all the air intakes, scoops and vents not only make the car look more menacing, but they all serve a function. The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd: it doesnt need to scream at the top of its voice. That is left for the engine to do.
InsideWhen the last version of the Charger was refreshed, the focus was on updating the dash to improve the feel of the materials and the overall finish. The 2015 model takes things up a notch, with even more technology and improved style. The dash is covered with an aluminum
fascia, which has not migrated to the shifter surround. The shifter too has been updated to a T-style that re-minds older drivers of the Chargers sold in the original muscle car era. The steering wheel is new and has up-dated switches to control two new screens in the dash. They include a base 5-inch screen in the console or optional 8.4-inch version, plus a standard programma-ble screen in the instrument cluster for a quick glance
when driving. The high performance SRT models get a steering wheel with a flat bottom and heavily bolstered seats for track-ready driving. The real story is that this isnt a track car, rather a solid family 4-door with room for all passengers.DriveOn the way to the racetrack, I drove the ($39,495) R/T, Hemi-equipped Charger over highways and some backcountry roads. This new model has a much more grownup feel and is a fantastic long road trip machine. Passing is a snap but the Charger was happiest at about 130km/h, maybe thanks to an all-new 8-speed automatic on all trim levels. Greeting us at the track were 5.7L Hemi cars, the 6.4L V8 Scat Pack model and the new Hellcat with a 6.2L V8 and with a big supercharger bolted on. This engine has 90 per cent of the parts
upgraded from the regular engines and each one is put on a 40-minute dyno test before being shipped to the customer. When the supercharger is up to full capacity, this engine will gulp 13,000 litres of air in one minute. I had a chance to drive all the models starting with the least powerful 5.7L with 370hp, then the 485HP 6.4L and continuing the rest of the day with the 707hp Hellcat. Each is very capable on the track but the Hellcat is so much more car, capable of a run to 100km/h in less than 4 second and it can stop with just as much viciousness. The impressive thing is just how easy this monster is to
drive. It needs to be treated with respect but getting on the power or the brakes is very smooth and effortless. The sound from the screaming engine, the Pirelli P-Zero tires squealing under acceleration or diving into each corner was a sensory overload. After dozens of laps around the track with a top speed of 230km/h down the straight, this car is nothing short of amazing. Every-thing else just feels slow.VerdictThe average buyer will still opt for the ($32,495) V6-equipped cars sold with a solid 300 hp going to the rear wheels or all wheels, the V8-equipped cars are not offered with AWD any longer. The most amazing, but unspectacular part of the trip was driving the Hellcat back to Washington, D.C. through heavy traffic on the highway and downtown core. As we pulled up the W Hotel, just a block from the Whitehouse, the 707 hp Hellcat returned 9.9L/100km. Nothing short of amazing considering the cars output, but it might come down to the 411 lb.-ft. the engine puts out at just 1,200 rpm, allowing it to loaf along effortlessly. This and the $64,495 price tag will get a lot of car fans sitting up and paying attention; the worlds fastest four-door family car is an amazing engineering marvel and the price is as jaw-dropping as the car itself.The LowdownPower: 707 hp from a supercharged 6.2L V8Sticker price: $32,496-$64,[email protected]
The Charger has an aggressive stance but this is also a car that can blend into the crowd, it doesnt need to scream at the top of its voice that is left for the engine to do.Zack Spencer

2014 XV CROSSTREK TOURING 5MT SHOWN
Pic of the Week
By Bob McHugh
PThe Acura CSX was made in Canada and only sold in Canada. Essentially its a sportier and more luxurious Hon-da Civic as it shares most major parts, other than engines. So, an owner not only gets the renowned reliability, fuel efficiency and functionality of a Civic, but also a higher level of performance and luxury ... very nice!First released for the 2006 model year, CSX came with a 2.0-litre four-cylin-der engine that can also be found in an Acura RSX, with slightly different tuning. A suspension upgrade also gives CSX better handling than a Civic and it originally came in Touring and Premium (with leather upholstery, Xe-non headlights and a power sunroof) trim levels. A new more performance oriented version called the Type-S replaced Premium for the 2007 model year. The standard 2.0-litre engine can produce 155 horsepower, but the 2.0-litre in a Type-S version can churn-out 197 horsepower. The manual transmission in a base CSX is a five-speed, while the Type-S has a six-speed. A five-speed automatic transmission was a popular option, An automatic model also comes with steering wheel mounted paddle-shift (manual) controls. Using the newly revised (and more realistic) fuel economy rating method, a CSX (auto) should get 10.9/7.8 L/100 km (city/highway) and 10.0/7.6 L/100 km (city/
highway) with the manual transmis-sion. Other than leather upholstery, which became standard on every CSX, there were no significant changes for 2008 model year. In 2009, the CSX got a minor facelift up front and 17-inch wheels, fog lights and USB port for audio players all became standard equipment. The CSX Type-S became the CSX i-Tech (and came with xenon headlights, a navigation system and Bluetooth connectivity) for the 2011 model year, its final year of produc-tion. A used CSX doesnt cost too much more than a top-line Civic. Not only do you get more content and perfor-mance, Acura models also come with a longer warranty than Honda. Full coverage is for 4 years or 80,000 km, compared to 3 years/60,000 km from Honda.
You wont find ratings for an Acura CSX in Consumer Reports or the results of any US crash testing. How-ever, its safe to assume that it would achieve similar results to the Honda Civic, which does spectacularly well in owner survey ratings and also re-ceives top ratings occupant protection in a collision. Used prices may be on the high side, but if you like the Honda Civic, yet desire a little extra pampering and performance, take a look and a drive in used Acura CSX. Prices vary depending on a used vehicles condition, mileage, usage and history. A complete mechanical check should always be performed by a reliable auto technician prior to purchase.
An Acura made in Canada, just for Canada

With the nights getting longer and the dark grey days ahead, anybody ven-turing out to do a little four wheeling will tell you good off-road lighting is a must. Make sure you only operate them off-road. Good quality wiring of a set of off-road lights is important when installing them on your truck, SUV or 4x4.Simply running a power and ground may work but is not the correct way to wire them. Most off-road lights draw a lot of power when switching them on, and this load should never be applied directly to the switch. Using a relay for the switching duties will save your switch and lights as well as make for a safer installation. Relays are easy to install and some lights come with them, but if not, you can pick up a relay from your lo-cal auto parts store. Install a switch in the cab of your truck in a location that is convenient for you to reach, or tap into the high-beam circuit of the headlights to power the relay. Mount the relay inside the cab, under the dash or other location out of the way and out of the elements. Run a wire from the battery or other positive source to the switch. This is the positive feed to switch the relay on. You will also need to run a ground wire to the switch from the frame or
other ground then run a positive feed wire from the battery to the positive in position on the relay. There will be four con-nectors on the relay, a positive, a negative, a pos-itive out and a positive in from the battery. Read the packaging or directions to determine which is which. Find the ground position on the relay and run a wire from it to a good ground on the chassis of the vehicle. Anywhere on the frame or other metal structure of the vehicle will normally produce a decent ground. Run a section of wire from the switch output to the switched power input on the relay. Again, this will be marked or identified on the directions that came with your relay. Run the last wire from the relay positive out position to the lights and connect it to the positive feed on the lights. Ground the lights by attaching the black or ground wire to the frame or other ground on the truck. HID lights have become more popular with off-road-ers these days. Installation is a little more work. But the principles remain the same. Be sure to follow the instructions provided in the kit. HID stands for High intensity discharge which
refers to a new technology that relies on an electrical charge to light the xenon gas contained in a sealed bulb. Unlike the halogen bulb, the HID bulb does not have a filament, because there is no filament the bulbs are not susceptible to vehicle vibration damaged. There are however effected by and fluctuations in the ve-hicles electrical system and depending on the vehicle they may require some resistors. The HID bulb creates light by bridging an arc between two electrodes, instead of heating a filament. This light is similar to the energy transfer when lightning strikes. The arc stimulates the xenon gases producing bright white beam of light. The next wave of off-road lighting technology is LED. Rigid is a leader in this technology. Low amperage and superior light project-ing forward is why most off-road racers are switch to this type of light. Check them out at [email protected]

Christ Church Cathedral celebrates musics patron saint with an all-day open house featuring an array of Victoria performers filling the air with music on Nov. 22.
The day will appeal to all lovers of music.
The uplifting cathedral bells herald the start of the St. Cecilia Day open house at 9:30 a.m.. Under the vaulted roof indoors, choral music opens and closes the day.
Music director Michael Gormley leads the Cathedral Choir in an open rehearsal, giving a rare backstage view of preparations for the Cathedrals much anticipated Advent Carol service. St. Christopher Singers choral evensong brings St. Cecilias Day to an inspirational conclusion.
Audiences will be entertained throughout the day by organ and piano solos (including Erik Lin who featured in last Augusts Symphony Splash!), and ensembles ranging from medieval/renaissance wind band, barbershop quartet, accordions, acoustic guitar and voice, and even an English country dance band.
As a bonus, Christ
Church Cathedrals famous Christmas Bazaar runs from 12 3.
Admission is by donation.
