hen Esquimalt Nation Chief Andy Thomas took the stage at the Truth and Reconciliation event last week, he didn’t focus on Indian residential schools.

He used his spotlight to talk about the present: about the Douglas treaties that still need to be addressed and about the Esquimalt reserve. At 18 hectares, it is home to 250 people, and supports another 150 people off reserve. “We’ve been held out of the economy for too long,� Thomas said.

Reconcile. ‘To make friendly again after a period of estrangement,’ according to the Canadian Oxford Dictionary.

After a full day listening to residential school survivors, I was inspired to look up the word.

Roszan After truth telling, reconciliation is Holmen the second purpose of the national commission, and the word is meant as more than some form of settlement between government and First Nations’ leaders. Every Canadian has been charged with the task. But practically speaking, how do we move forward?

The words of one young woman at the event stuck with me: Why, she asked, don’t schools teach the names of First Nations whose homelands they occupy?

Why does every child learn basic French, but not even a few phrases of the First Nations language of their region?

It’s a solution unlikely to right our nation’s historical wrongs, but it’s a place to start.

It’s hard to respect the rights of people we know little about.

The residential school legacy has been called the most underreported story in Canada. Having heard Roszan Holmen/News staff the accounts of former students and their children, we conclude by focusing on one of the least-heard sides of Sister Marie Zarowny, provincial leader for the Catholic order Sisters of St. Ann, helps shed some light on the residential school experience, told from the this seldom-told history. standpoint of those who worked at the facilities.

Fairness monitor to ensure city follows proper procedures Roszan Holmen News staff

Eight companies have thrown their names into the hat to be considered to build the new Johnson Street Bridge.

The City of Victoria plans to shortlist three companies by early May. The city and its consulting team will then work with the three firms as they prepare their proposals.

On Tuesday, the city hired what’s called an independent fairness monitor, to ensure the firms can provide suggestions and ideas on ways to refine the engineering design in confidence.

Jamie Cassels, a lawyer and University of Victoria law professor with expertise in contract law and civil litigation, will monitor the evaluation, short-listing and awarding of the contract for the replacement of the new bridge.

His role will be to ensure that the city follows the procurement process properly. rholmen@vicnews.com

School days bring mixed emotions The Sisters of St. Ann taught and cared for students at Indian residential schools.

Larger ships coming next season Harbour authority also welcomes new tenant With the Crystal Serenity docked as the first cruise ship of the season in Victoria, the federal and provincial governments used the opportunity to highlight the success of their 2010 investment in Ogden Point.

An expansion to the pier, including a new mooring dolphin and dredging of Pier B, was completed by early 2011 for nearly $4 million. The cost was split between the Greater Victoria Harbour Authority and the provincial and federal governments.

“I’m delighted our investments are paying off here in Victoria,” federal Minister of Canadian Heritage, James Moore, said Tuesday morning. “The expanded pier is increasing tourism and providing a significant boost to British Columbia’s economy.”

Making use of the expanded pier, the 315-metre Celebrity Solstice is confirmed to call on Victoria next year. The ship is 20 metres longer than the longest

Board reinvests district surplus into educational assistants

www.FourSeasonsMusicalTheatre.com

Natalie North News staff

Save or spend?

In response to the outcry from teachers and parents for more classroom support, the Greater Victoria Board of Education uncharacteristically chose the latter.

On Tuesday trustees passed the district’s 2012-13 operating budget, after unanimously agreeing to use a $349,541 surplus from the 2011-12 school year to address class size and composition in 2012-13.

The extra funds will go toward hiring educational assistants and a psychologist to assist with the backlog of psychometric assessments for children up to Grade 3.

As well, they will fund the hiring of support staff to aid the speech and language pathologist, freeing up more time for therapy.

Fewer sick days, more savings than anticipated from energy conservation and more international student enrolment helped create the surplus.

“This is unusual,” board chair Peg Orcherton said of the extra funds. “It was quite delightful.”

Historically, the Greater Victoria School District has used any surplus funds from one year to help reduce the following year’s deficit. Longtime trustee Elaine Leonard, who was previously in favour of applying the surplus to the 2012-13 deficit, brought forward the motion to spend it.

“We are addressing, with the money that we have, the needs that come to us,” Orcherton said.

“We do listen, and that’s exactly why the motion that trustee Leonard had put on the table in February was amended.”

While the board was unanimous on how to spend the surplus funds, differing philosophies toward education advocacy nearly prevented the budget itself from being passed.

Had the document not passed, the surplus would have needed to be spent by the end of the 2011-12 year and would not have been applied to class size and composition.

Five of nine trustees – Orcherton, vice-chair Bev Horsman, Leonard, Michael McEvoy and Tom Ferris – sup-

ported the $171-million operating budget.

Trustees Deborah Nohr and Catherine Alpha voted against passing the balanced budget. Trustees Edith Loring-Kuhanga and Diane McNally, who had previously supported submitting only a needs-based budget to the Ministry of Education, abstained from voting on the final reading.

Orcherton was prompted to comment afterward on the importance of submitting a balanced budget.

“Every one of us at that table would love to have more money,” she said. “But if (the balanced budget was not passed,) our community, our district, would likely lose its voice on how this district is run and we would have another level of bureaucracy that wouldn’t be willing to listen.”

McNally admitted it would have been a challenge to spend the surplus well by the end of the year. For her, the issue of chronic underfunding took precedent, she said.

“The platform I ran on was based on my convictions on the need to preserve public education and not to go along with planned underfunding from the government.” nnorth@saanichnews.com

Needs-based budget explained The school district prepares its operating budget early in the year to prepare staffing. The final budget isn’t due into the Ministry of Education until June 30, when it will be submitted along with a detailed needs budget.

The needs budget is a starting point and is subject to change, depending on how learning initiative funds and any additional grants are allocated.

The document currently identifies the need for about $48.5 million in additional funding in order to provide what board chair Peg Orcherton calls “absolute optimum” funding. The budget advisory committee presents the needs budget to the board for debate May 22.

The goal of preparing such a detailed breakdown of needs in the district – from staffing to supplies – is to strengthen the district’s argument for increased funding. In the past, the board has submitted a “restorative budget” document, based on 2001 operational costs and funding.

Fitness park unveiled Though initially aimed at seniors, park is for all ages Erin McCracken News staff

A crowd of seniors gathers around fitness instructor Ann Henslowe, who jumps up on a stationary step to demonstrate the benefit of plyometric exercises.

“Are they going to have first aid out here?” Esquimalt resident Bev Hopkins quips, prompting another senior to add, “Or an ambulance on standby?”

Everyone laughs and the group moves to another newly installed outdoor exercise station at the Esquimalt Active Park, which opened Tuesday next to the Esquimalt Recreation Centre.

Construction of the $82,000 park was funded by the Union of B.C. Municipalities, RBC Foundation and the provincial and federal governments.

Hopkins is looking to the

free fitness park to rebuild her health, after she suffered a small stroke last October.

“It was a warning sign,” the 67-year-old says of her health scare.

Hopkins is already eyeing several new fitness programs at the Esquimalt Active Park.

“I think it’s really needed, and I hope people get out and use it,” she says.

The park was initially touted by Esquimalt staff as the region’s second outdoor seniors fitness park after one built in Sidney, but that vision has been expanded.

“The great thing is because it’s designed for seniors, you can use it for all ages,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins.

Though it’s still new, the park has already generated excitement in the community.

“I’ve already heard discussions around how we can integrate family-type

recreation (programs) at the park,” Desjardins said.

“They’re thinking big, and they’re thinking of making it a part of their day.”

For details about the park or related fitness programs, visit www.esquimalt.ca, call 250-412-8500 or drop by the Esquimalt Recreation Centre at 527 Fraser St. emccracken@vicnews.com

Bees get special day in May Initiative raises awareness of honey bees’ plight Erin McCracken News staff

Municipalities across Canada, including those in the Capital Region, are being asked to proclaim May 29 as Day of the Honey Bee. Esquimalt council agreed at its meeting Monday night to make the proclamation, at the request of Clinton Ekdahl of Saskatoon, Sask., who initiated the Day of the Honey Bee campaign four years ago.

In a letter to council, Ekdahl said he began his crusade to raise awareness about honey bees, which he says are responsible for about 70 per cent of Canada’s food crop pollination.

File photo

Honey bees – these ones are in a hive at Babe’s Honey Farm in Saanich – are critical to food production.

According to B.C.’s Ministry of Agriculture, about $200 million in agriculture production is dependent on honey bee pollination in the province each year.

“I am drawing attention to honey bees because they con-

tinue to disappear at unsustainable rates for unexplained reasons, not only in Canada, but in every country and across every continent where they are raised,” he wrote.

Last year, 163 municipal governments across Canada, as well as the B.C., Manitoba and Saskatchewan provincial governments, issued Day of the Honey Bee proclamations.

“As a result of this amazing support, more people learned about the plight of honey bees,” Ekdahl said.

Esquimalt Coun. Dave Hodgins was quick to applaud the initiative.

“Honey bees work extremely hard in support of food production for humans and farm animals through pollination,” he said. “The value of these pollination services is commonly measured in the billions of dollars.” emccracken@vicnews.com

Esquimalt council embraced the arts in a unique way at its Monday night meeting, with the reading of a poem.

“My council often says to me ‘no surprises,’ but tonight I have a surprise for them, because this is poetry month,” said Mayor Barb Desjardins.

She selected Dorothy (Sims) Blenkin’s 1987 poem “Esquimalt In The Pink,” in honour of Esquimalt’s centennial year and because the poem nods at the township’s beauty in springtime.

Blenkin passed away in 2004, but her Esquimalt roots ran deep. She was the daughter of a navy sailor who came to Canada on HMCS Rainbow. Her family

lived on Constance Avenue in the township when she was born in 1920.

Blenkin, whose maiden name was Sims, spent time as a youngster writing plays and poetry. She

became a published writer when she was an adult.

Here is a sample stanza from “Esquimalt In The Pink” by Blenkin: Esquimalt is wearing pink today

Although spring is still to come And March early in its month, Esquimalt is wearing pink today For the complete poem, read this story at vicnews.com.

OUR VIEW

Put some action into Earth Day Comedian George Carlin famously said: “There is nothing wrong with the planet. Nothing wrong with the planet. The planet is fine. The people are [doomed].”

His theory was that the planet has been around for four-and-a-half billion years, and humans have been here one or two hundred thousand years. And we’ve only been engaged in heavy industry for a little over 200 years. “Two hundred years versus four-and-a-half billion,” said Carlin. “And we have the conceit to think that somehow we’re a threat?”

Unfortunately, it’s taken our species less than a century to do some damage to this big blue marble we live on. And Earth Day is a good reminder to us all to keep it clean – something Carlin never did with his language.

What first started as an environmental awareness event in the United States in 1970, Earth Day (April 22) has become more widely celebrated in recent years. This year in Victoria a three-day event, Creatively United for the Planet, hopes to inspire environmental awareness and build community through creativity. But is this enough?

Does attending a weekend festival make us want to become better stewards of the planet? Does joining a broom bash or ivy pull lead us to build a compost in our backyard or take transit instead of the car to work?

Three local businesses decided to take up a Garbage Challenge to mark Earth Day this year, taking an hour to collect garbage from around Victoria. The one that collects the most wins the Golden Garbage Award.

Sure, it’s a small step, but an achievable goal. It should be noted that the Inn at Laurel Point, Harbour Air Seaplanes and Eagle Wing Tours – the founders of this Garbage Challenge – are all carbon-neutral businesses and want to encourage other businesses to get involved in the care of the environment.

Big changes, like becoming carbon neutral, begin with small steps. As recycling began with old newspapers being dumped into a separate bin and water conservation with turning the taps off when you brush your teeth, so must other changes begin.

Earth Day gives us the opportunity to remind ourselves that each small step we take toward sustainability will become a giant leap one day. Each time we walk or ride our bike to a local farm stand to buy carrots instead of using the car, makes a difference.

Each time we put the carrot peels into the compost instead of the garbage bin makes a difference. Each time we spread that compost on our own garden bed … well, you get the picture.

It’s up to each of us as individuals to decide what choices we’ll make to celebrate Earth Day. Even if what you choose to do seems like a small step, one day it could become a big deal and you can say you did your part in keeping the planet “fine.”

D, on the other hand, is always trying to understand how a program works, and trying to determine if there’s one that is better, faster or easier to use.

One thing that works to my advantage is that M can use her gadgets to look up new and interesting recipes. And D, when he gets frustrated with technology, usually slaps the offending item down on the coffee table and announces, “I’m going to go wash the car.”

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, April 20, 2012

LETTERS Better job needed in promoting transit, urban densification The announcements of investments by senior levels of government in the E&N rail and other transit systems will reduce government operating costs.

Recently an international network for public transport authorities estimated that in North America, the costs of trips as a proportion of the gross domestic product is 12.7 per cent, whereas in Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore it is only 5.4 per cent. The difference is a productive advantage for the

Asian economies.

At the government level, transportation authorities are spending ever-increasing amounts of funds just to service the next subdivision.

Governments should not be in the business of promoting and financing urban sprawl, which increases operating costs to all levels of government, but particularly the province.

Encouraging mass transit and urban densification will entail the following cost implications:

Government will reduce costs for service provision as we move towards more compact communities.

For instance, out-patient healthcare providers, social workers and transportation providers are now increasingly travelling farther to service clients. If a service provider can attend two or three appointments within walking distance, or commute a short distance by transit or even automobile, this is a time saver and also a fuel cost saver.

Existing road capacity is used more efficiently, thus delaying or negating the need for further road investments for expansion. This will help deliver our goods to the Far East markets more efficiently.

Trucks stuck in traffic benefit nobody.

Correspondingly, there will be measurable decreases in road maintenance and rehabilitation costs.

Governments will also receive direct cost savings from decreased incidence of

automobile accidents involving those commuters who switch modes of travel, through decreased exposure – a tangible benefit measured in millions of vehicle kilometres travelled.

Countries with the highest levels of walking and biking also have the lowest levels of obesity.

This preventative measure is very important as our health-care costs are projected to increase exponentially.

Evolution happens naturally, regardless of where faith lies Re: Believing in theory of evolution requires faith (Letters, April 13) Dog breeds are the products of evolution by artificial selection: From a set of puppies, people identified individuals they liked, such as those who grew into adults that were good at killing rats, or protecting sheep.

These were bred and the selection step was repeated. A few from the next litters might have killed more rats than their parents or were better at protecting sheep. Again, the best were selected to produce another generation. These experiments were done independently in different places and, consequently, we now have lots of terriers, and German, Belgian and Australian shepherds.

Faith is not a factor here.

Breeder’s records tell us that evolution by artificial selection is what led to the diversity in domestic species that we see today. Evolution by natural selection argues that the same process takes place in nature.

To Darwin, the idea that evolution by artificial selection had generated various breeds of dog, cat, cattle, sheep, etc., but that different wild species were created independently, seemed unnecessarily complicated.

In the Origin of Species, he proposed that nature, like a

dog breeder, allows only some individuals to reproduce. These individuals differ from others and the features that enhanced survival and reproduction in one place might not be the same as those that were selected in another. This way, evolution by natural selection led to changes that generated new varieties, which eventually became new species.

Darwin’s observations were consistent with this theory. Evolution, whether by artificial or natural selection, predicts that related species will be connected geographically.

Creationism doesn’t make such predictions. A creator could place deer and monkeys anywhere, yet, on islands more than 300 miles from the mainland, Darwin found only flying and marine mammals.

Creation does not explain why all species, from bacteria to pine trees to humans, have DNA. In addition, Darwin also noted that if species were perfectly matched to their environment, as one might expect from creation, then invasive species wouldn’t stand a chance.

Ruth Magnusson said she examined the theory of evolution and rejected it, after looking to science for explanations. I hope this inspires her to look again.

Owner of speeding bike faces penalties Kyle Slavin News staff

Saanich police have seized the motorcycle seen barrelling down the Trans-Canada Highway at speeds reaching 300 km/h in a video posted online this month.

But on Wednesday officers were unsure whether they’d be able to charge the man they believe was behind the handlebars on the bike.

“We don’t believe the owner is the rider,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

“At this point, any action that’s taken is going to be against the registered owner.”

The registered owner of the blue 2006 Yamaha is an Esquimalt woman. The suspected rider is her son, in his 20s.

The two-minute video, show-

ing the motorcycle dashboard and the driver’s first-person view weaving in between vehicles, was posted to YouTube on April 8 and quickly came to the attention of police. The digital speedometer shows the bike hitting speeds of 299 km/h.

On April 13, after receiving a number of tips about the rider’s identity, police found and seized the motorcycle from an Esquimalt residence.

“Our forensic technicians have determined that this is the same bike that is in the video. That’s conclusive,” Jantzen said.

Earlier this week police put out a call for witnesses who saw the motorcycle weaving through traffic between Saanich and Langford. It is believed the video was shot on April 5 or 6 in the

late afternoon.

“We have had a handful of witnesses come forward,” Jantzen said Wednesday. “(Without) more specific information that clarifies who the rider might be … we can only establish ownership of the bike and take action against the registered owner.”

Under the street racing section of the Motor Vehicle Act, Jantzen said police are looking to revoke the licence of the bike’s owner and permanently seize the bike under the Civil Forfeiture Act. As of the News’ deadline Wednesday, no charges had been laid against either the owner or the suspected rider.

Police ask that anyone who may have seen the incident firsthand call them at 250-475-4321. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Crash, roadblock net impaired drivers A 33-year-old Victoria man who police say crashed his car into a utility pole on Quadra Street at Rockland Avenue at about 2 a.m.

Monday had to be helped from his car he was so drunk.

A breath sample later revealed the driver’s blood-alcohol level was four times the legal limit.

“Police found an open beer in the front cup holder and the man admitted to drinking heavily,” police spokesperson Mike Tucker said in a statement.

The man drove his Hyundai into the pole so hard that both front air bags deployed and the front of the car sustained significant damage. The driver faces an impaired driving charge and was issued a $230 ticket for having open liquor in a motor vehicle. He is due in court May 28.

A police roadblock early Saturday morning at Cook Street and Hillside Avenue nabbed four allegedly impaired motorists.

They included a 43-year-old

Saanich man who blew twice the legal limit, and a 29-year-old Victoria man, who punched and kicked two cars before getting into his own vehicle.

A 37-year-old Nanaimo man who refused to provide a breath sample was handed a 90-day driving prohibition, while a 25-year-old Saanich man was slapped with a 24-hour driving suspension for being high on marijuana. emccracken@vicnews.com

Vincent Gale, left, Bill Dow and Sarah Orenstein star in God of Carnage at the Belfry Theatre.

What starts off as a friendly meeting of two couples to resolve a playground fight between their sons, quickly turns into a game of namecalling, finger-pointing and throwing things.

And it’s all on stage in the Belfry Theatre’s production of the award-winning comedy God of Carnage, written by Yasmina Reza and translated by Christopher Hampton.

This satire of social conduct and modern day marriage stars Bill Dow, Vincent Gale, Sarah Orenstein and Celine Stubel, and is directed by Glynis Leyshon, former artistic director at the Belfry Theatre.

The play starts as a calm, rational debate among adults, but the facade of decorum is razor thin and when the Scotch starts to flow, lines are drawn, allegiances are made and broken, and the evening quickly devolves into a hysterical night.

The play received a Tony Award for Best Play and an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in 2009.

God of Carnage runs from April 17 to May 20 at the Belfry Theatre, 1291 Gladstone Ave. Tickets range from $23 to $38. There are discounts for high school and postsecondary students.

For tickets, call 250-385-6815 or visit tickets.belfry.bc.ca. For more information, visit belfry. bc.ca/god-of-carnage. editor@oakbaynews.com

Self-discovery takes a comic turn in Intrepid Theatre production Brittany Lee News staff

The story of a girl who goes to clown college on a path of self-discovery but then drops out is presented as the Confessions of a Clown College Dropout at the Intrepid Theatre Club.

The story follows a confused, discouraged performer as she attempts to find purpose in her life and her life on stage, according to writer Marina Legace from CatFlap Collective, a group of local artists putting on the show.

“I’m calling it a haphazard clown musical tripping out on LSD,” Legsaid. “She goes “I’m calling it ace through a journey redisa haphazard clown covering and exploring what would be the kind musical tripping of exercises one might out on LSD.” do at clown college.”

- Marina Legace Legace’s inspiration for the story came from a personal experience as an artist struggling with stage fright and a lack of self-confidence, she said.

“I went to clown school to try to rediscover my joy in performing and because of the state that I was in, I had a really difficult time coming to terms with my role as a performer and I ended up dropping out… so it’s kind of a true story,” she said.

The production includes live music, improvisation, and stilt-walking. Along with Legace, it features Kimara Brilling and Emma Zabloski, also from CatFlap Collective.

The jazz club owner had been waiting for almost four years.

The transplant was a success.

Vote not enough to stop sports Saanich teachers involved in high school sports finding ways to continue

“It’s not a good time for athletics. I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.”

Travis Paterson News staff

Labour politics be damned, nothing’s going to stop high school sports on the South Island.

Regardless of whether this week’s B.C. Teachers’ Federation vote passes, plenty of high school sports programs in Greater Victoria have plans to continue even if there’s an official mandate for unionized teachers to withdraw from voluntary extracurricular activities in protest of Bill 22.

High school sports such as girls soccer, boys rugby, the School Bike League and track and field are all carrying on. Even more are about to get going with golf and tennis among the next seasons to start up.

“It’s not a good time for athletics,” said School Bike League commissioner Eric Simonson of Oak Bay High. “Many coaches (like me) think it is unfair to withdraw from extracurricular (activities).”

Simonson said negotiations involving the teachers’ union usually don’t touch extracurricular activities.

“I know other coaches will keep coaching despite the vote.”

Coaching is among the extracurricular activities that teachers in the Saanich School District, which covers the Peninsula and the northern edge of the municipality of Saanich, have already agreed to withdraw from.

“It’s a big grey area that’s been left up to the individual (teachers), with most continuing for now,” said Darren Reisig, athletic director at Claremont secondary.

“Claremont continued with all sports, but who’s doing what is up to that school or individual. If teachers aren’t doing it then community coaches (and parents) have stepped in.”

In some cases, practices and games have been a little less formal.

In the event it doesn’t pass, the local recommendation would stand, likely to be revisited at next month’s general meeting.

Lambrick won 8-0 on goals by Goodmanson, Tyger Holt (two), Emma Entzminger, Emily Aspden, Sarah Lefebvre, Laura Homuth and Marisa London.

Sharon Tiffin/News staff

“This is not a cut and dry picket line, (in terms of) what would happen if a teacher continues,” said Sean Hayes, Saanich Teachers’ Association president.

“We’ve seen a prohibition on extracurricular before, in the early 2000s. I don’t remember anyone being sanctioned, but I do remember colleagues angry at colleagues, and teachers who continued to coach.”

Meanwhile, private schools Glenlyon Norfolk, Saint Michaels University, St. Andrew’s and Pacific Christian are helping to carry the load.

Sharing the commissioner duties for the city’s track and field league are St. Andrew’s teachers Angela McLeish and Kevin Mennie. They’re able to offer ongoing support without facing any

potential sanctions.

Likewise, St. Mikes’ teacher Eliot Anderson is the high school rugby commissioner.

“Many of our games are scheduled against independent schools so they’ll happen anyways.

We wouldn’t be looking for games, we have a full schedule. We’ve got kids who’ve paid for the experience and we’ll give it to them.”

Anderson’s also heard some schools might not look for extra games as a show of support, should it come to that.

As for the school cycling league, Simonson intends to keep it alive however way he can.

“I have many parents that can fill in for me if my union frowns on my participation.” sports@vicnews.com

Sitting on the curb is OK, but stepping into any of the streets surrounding Windsor Park on Sunday morning (April 22) may not be a good idea.

That’s when about 80 cyclists from Greater Victoria as well as the U.S., up-Island and the Lower Mainland will be rounding the corners at breakneck speed in the first of four road races set for this spring and summer.

Organized by the Victoria Wheelers Cycling Club the road race “is challenging for the elite but also perfect for entry-level riders,” says club spokesperson Jenny Skinner.

Registered in one of three categories, riders make anywhere from 30 to 50 laps of the one-kilometre course which consists of the quadrangle of streets around Windsor Park: Windsor, Transit and Currie Roads and Newport Avenue. Streets are closed from 7:30 a.m. to noon for the event.

Cyclists follow riding etiquette, Skinner says.

Riders should not just draft before breaking away, they should at least take one turn leading and allow others to draft behind them. “You have to be steady, you can’t cut in really quick,” she adds.

Registration is from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m. A kids’ race for riders 12 and under starts at about 10 a.m.

Windsor Pavilion is open on race day for visitors and racers. For more information about the races go to victoriacyclingleague.wordpress.com. vmoreau@oakbaynews.com

In addition to upwards of 200 boats on display, visitors will find an array of on-land exhibitors, including boat manufacturers, accessories providers and representatives from boating destinations.

Rom Van Stolk, a boat show director and owner of Sidney’s Custom Yacht Sales, is excited about the possibilities awaiting at this year’s show.

“I think the boat show is a fantastic venue for people from all of walks of life. There’s a fabulous cross-section of new and used boats brought together at one venue and in the water.”

Pair that with the wealth of knowledge on site and a land-based tent filled with the latest innovations and accessories, and there’s plenty to fill the weekend!

whole across many sectors is looking really good,” Van Stolk says, adding that where moorage was perceived to be an issue in the past, there is ample availability for boats in the 26’ to 40’ range.

At the show, visitors can explore everything from dinghies to long-range 70’ cruisers. “And from an enthusiast’s point of view, there will be product that has never been displayed before,” Van Stolk notes.

“There’s some very, very neat industry innovations coming that will be displayed for the first time. It’s a very exciting time to be involved in the boating world (and) there’s a lot to explore at the show.”

keep costs down, an encouragement to get more people involved. Discounts are also available for weekend passes, Van Stolk notes.

“The boat show inspires people and gets them enthralled with the idea

of being on the water,” he says. “I’m excited that people are going to be introduced to boating.”

BCYBA has worked since its founding in 1985 to promote boating across the province, aspiring to make

the process of buying or selling a boat in B.C. a positive experience for the consumer.

Visit the show, ask questions, and come aboard and explore, Van Stolk says. “If you’re living on Vancouver Island and the only boat you’re on is a BC Ferry, you’re missing the boat!”

Believe it or not, this is a shot of a Mazda2 circulating around the Wall Of Death in England.

The death-defying Mazda2 METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Wall of Death!

Probably not the three best words to be running through your mind as you floor the throttle and head out on to the track. You want words like victory, pace and skill to fill your head. Not Wall of Death.

But then this is track like no other.

It measures just 31-feet in diameter and it’s 85 years old. It’s made almost entirely of wood, and it’s redolent with the tang of oil, sweat and fear. Oh, and the track walls are completely vertical.

The Mazda2 slowly edges up and away from the horizontal base of the Wall of Death and onto its upright walls. The right front and rear tires chirp, momentarily slip, and then grip as the driver’s side of Mazda2 rides up onto the edge.

Behind the wheel, Dynomyte Dave guns the supermini’s punchy 102 hp 1.5-litre engine. With a burst of speed the Mazda2 flies up onto the wall, all four wheels leaving the floor. Time to go vertical on the Demon Drome Wall of Death…

The Demon Drome is the world’s oldest operating Wall of Death.

!

IN DS Y N H RR R E 0T U H FE IL 3 OFAPR

It was built in America in late 1927, at the height of popularity for these adrenalin-fuelled vertical raceways, before being shipped over to Britain

by Pat Collins Funfairs shortly after construction was completed. The bespoke wooden structure was then sold on and eventually ended up as an attraction in Skegness where it played to audience until the early 1980s.

The Wall of Death enjoyed a new lease of life when it was rebranded the ‘Motordrome’ and travelled around the country until the turn of the century when it was packed away in storage and forgotten.

It was rescued and revived by Cornwall-based ‘Dynomyte’ Dave Seymour and his family who completely refurbished the historic wooden track in a meticulous three-year project, christening it The Demon Drome in the process.

Dynomyte Dave, his son Duke and daughter Alabama look completely at home circling the Demon Drome on their 1920s Indian Scout motorcycles.

They make dealing with the 4g force that pools blood in their legs and gives them tunnel vision while hurtling around the wall look like an absolute doddle. They can ride their motorbikes

one-handed, standing up, sidesaddle and even blindfolded. But a car is something entirely different.

The concept behind the feat of bringing together the Mazda2 and the Demon Drome is simple – it takes Mazda’s convention-defying approach to the ultimate level.

In this case that level is perfectly vertical. The key to any success on the wall is a combination of low weight, agility and perky performance – qualities the lithe and effervescent Mazda2 has by the truckload.

Unsurprisingly, there was little in the way of preparation needed.

With Dynomyte Dave behind the wheel – and his son Duke Seymour standing at the centre of the track to guide him – the Mazda2 begins a slow circle of the track, it’s right front and rear tires flirting with the vertical wall. Dynomyte Dave feeds in more power and the Mazda2 begins to rocket around the base of the Demon Drome, two wheels on the vertical, two on the horizontal.

The driver’s side of the car seems to cock its eye upwards and with another perfectly timed and aggressive burst of speed the Mazda2 suddenly launches itself up the vertical wall.

The reinforced wooden structure bends and groans as it takes up the load as the car rises higher and higher up the 16-foot vertical wall until it reaches the centre of the track, rocketing round the round at dizzying speed and lapping the Demon Drome every two-and-half seconds. All within an incredibly tight diameter that’s tighter than the car’s own 9.8-metre turning circle.

No doubt the original builders of the Demon Drome never envisaged their track still entertaining crowds 80 years into the future – and with such a modern twist.

Responding to the roar of spontaneous applause that instantly fills the track, Dynomyte Dave raises his arm triumphantly out the window and waves at the cheering crowd. He rockets around the Drome a few more times before bringing the Mazda back down to the horizontal.

“That was incredible. Just amazing – I’m so stoked!” says Dynomyte Dave at the end of his groundbreaking run. “It was a bit tricky getting the Mazda up onto the vertical, but once it was there it was rock steady.

“Great fun. But I don’t think I’ll be doing it again. Not for a long while…”

Mitsubishi’s Electriphobia Institute debuts at Green Living Show METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Vowing to eradicate any lingering anxieties of electric vehicles, Mitsubishi Motor Sales of Canada launched its tongue-in-cheek Electriphobia Research Institute at the recent 2012 Green Living Show.

The fictitious “Institute” pokes fun at common misperceptions about electric cars and aims to rid Canadians of “the shocking new fear sweeping the nation.”

A unique approach to electric vehicle (EV) awareness, “Electriphobia” is a web-based campaign that debuted on April 16.

Developed by Mitsubishi’s agency-of-record, john st. advertising, the Electriphobia campaign tackles some common misperceptions surrounding electric

vehicles – from the fear of electrocution to tailpipe anxiety to coming to grips with no engine noise.

It features a reluctant test subject and the Institute’s lab-coated “scientist” who prescribes various cures.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is gaining traction among Canadian consumers and fleet operators.

Fourteen deliveries in March brought total i-MiEV sales to 69 units since mid-December.

Far from a fleet vehicle, most i-MiEV sales have been to consumers. To date, MMSCAN has named 30 certified i-MiEV dealerships and expects that number to grow in 2012.

The Mitsubishi i-MiEV is a five-door, fourpassenger, subcompact hatchback with a range of up to 155 km.

Designed to tackle electric car “range anxiety,” Mitsubishi’s Electriphobia campaign tackles some common misperceptions surrounding electric vehicles. Shown at the campaign kickoff along with the Mitsubishi i-MiEV electric car are Don Ulmer, Senior Product Planning Manager, Mitsubishi Canada, left, and Keri Zierler, a member of the creative team at john st. advertising.

Acura RLX concept makes world debut in New York

METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Acura staged the world debut of the Acura RLX Concept at the recent New York International Auto Show, providing luxury buyers with a first look at the design and engineering direction for its all-new Acura RLX flagship sedan, slated for launch at the beginning of 2013.

The RLX Concept employs an extraordinary array of new Acura technologies, including the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, in combination with sophisticated styling and smart packaging to deliver an entirely new level of performance, sophistication and comfort.

Utilizing highly efficient packaging, the RLX Concept delivers the interior space of a large luxury sedan with the footprint and agility of a midsize luxury sedan.

The RLX Concept’s all-new 3.5-litre direct-injected VTEC V6 engine and Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system, with three electric motors, combine to generate more than 370 hp, and are paired with a seven-speed dual clutch transmission and lightweight body to deliver V8 acceleration with four-cylinder fuel economy—with an estimated EPA (city/ highway/combined) rating of (US) 30/30/30 mpg.

Acura’s exclusive new Jewel Eye LED headlamps debut on the RLX Concept.

The Acura signature Jewel Eye headlamps use a dual-stacked array with a total of 10 separate high-intensity LED lamps, with ultra-reflective optical lenses and high-gloss trim, to provide powerful down-the-road illumination while simultaneously giving the RLX a highly distinctive and bright-eyed look in both daytime and nighttime conditions.

ARTHRITIS

Friday, April 20, 2012

Pain free in 2 weeks!

This is what happened to me personally. After suffering for years I desperately tried everything, drugs, natural products, physiotherapy, acupuncture, magnets and nothing was of any real help. Finally I had relief in 2 weeks by taking shark cartilage that was specially processed to preserve the natural active ingredients.

This is the kind we are now promoting. I realized then that there are over 50 million men and women that are battling the same illness and getting treatments that are not working well, otherwise we would not have this ongoing huge health problem. In the last 10 years we have helped tens of thousands of men and women to have less pain or no pain at all. This is a by-product of the American food industry. No sharks are caught because of their bones/cartilage. Don’t let activists confuse you. Nick A. Jerch, President We have real EVIDENCE that it works. On our web site you find over 100’s of testimonials with full names and towns. All 100% true. Skeptics may call them. Here are some examples: Doctor suggested knee replacement after all his options failed with drugs and cortisone shots in knee and lower back. I recommend Bell Shark Cartilage to those millions suffering needlessly like I did for 40 years with arthritis in my knees. It's a shame that I was given drugs and injections all these years when a natural medicine could #1 have spared me the endless torture day and night. Pat Laughlin, Coldwater, ON My hip is 95% pain free. Pain killing drugs mask and Bell Shark Cartilage heals. Rebecca Hite, Oroville, CA I tried another brand and pain came back. 2 weeks on Bell and pain is gone again. Gert Dupuis, Hanmer, ON Cancelled knee replacement. I was in pain and limping. Have no more pain now. Can square dance for hours. Anton Melnychuk, Porcupine Plain, SK. For 32 years I cried barrels of tears. Was in and out of hospitals costing society tens of thousands of dollars. I have taken many thousands of pills that nearly killed me. Finally 3 bottles of Bell Shark Cartilage costing less than $100 stopped a lifetime of suffering without side effects. Eleanor Sauson, Shigawake, QC Others write: Can walk again for hours…Climb stairs without hanging on to railing…First time in 15 years can sleep at night…Rheumatoid pain in joints down 90%, same for my sister. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech.

Heartburn Reflux

The USDA now recommends to eat 50% alkaline food (vegetables, legumes, salads, fruit). Health professionals suggest 80% alkaline food. Unfortunately, North American people eat 90% acidic food (meat, noodles, rice, bread, pastries, sweets, junk food). If you cannot change your diet to USDA’s 50% or closer to 80% alkaline food, consider to supplement with a natural health product that helps to increase your pH alkaline level close to a healthy #7. Ask for Bell Acidic Stomach/Alkaline Balance #39. It’s inexpensive, has no side effects and may eliminate the need for anti-acid pills many people take. As a bonus, an alkaline balanced body prevents many illnesses. See guarantee printed on box.

Reflux gave me a sore throat and I could not sing in the church choir anymore. After taking Bell #39 I have no more reflux and rejoice in singing again. Helene Giroux, 65, Quebec, QC Have family history of heartburn. For last 10 years I suffered a lot with acid reflux. I told all family members about #39 being all natural, giving quick relief and having no side effects. Michael Fasheh, 49, Port Ranch, CA Very happy with #39 acid reflux relief. Last 4 years had increasing reflux despite taking anti-acid products. I am also trying to eat more alkaline food. Grzegorz Smirnow, 43, Mt. Prospect, IL Suffered with reflux, choking and coughing. After starting Bell #39 I feel great. Amazed about the complete relief. Thanks from the bottom of my heart. Katarina Tusa, 63, North York, ON Was sleeping sitting up to avoid reflux. I thought I had this health problem for life like my other family members. Bell #39 brought quick relief. Can sleep now normally, have more energy, feel great. Bell products are quite different. Virginia Grant, 67, Markham, ON No need to make claims.

CONTROL WEIGHT = CONTROL BLOOD SUGAR

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD. Long term weight control without controlling blood sugar is destined to fail. This is why we have an epidemic of obesity. How it works: Stops the “roller coaster” of cravings and appetite to eat foods like sugar and starches that cause high blood glucose levels, which then brings on your pancreas to automatically pump insulin into your blood stream. Subsequently the high level of insulin precipitates low levels of blood glucose and cravings for more sugar and starchy carbohydrates (breads, noodles, crackers, cereals, french fries) which you don’t need and therefore it goes into unwanted fat storage and being overweight. Experts now recognize these basic facts.#40 Bell Blood Sugar Imbalance helps to stop this vicious cycle and puts you in control. Dr. Hammond says this natural product works 10 times better because it reprograms our brain and pancreas to release insulin in a controlled manner. Helpful non-fattening eating suggestions in the box. Fibers and exercise like walking are beneficial and help after you control the underlying basic blood sugar imbalance.

Working in a health food store I heard people saying how well #40 works. I tried it myself. Finally a product that controls my blood sugar much better than anything else we had in the store. Thank you for helping people around the world. Irene M. Urdialez, 43, Brynton Beach, FL My medical indicated pre-diabetic.

I took #40. When re-tested readings were fine. This helped my metabolism and my weight is down 25 lbs. I am grateful to the health food store people for their advice. Michael O’Brien, 60, Rutherglen, ON I finally found the right approach to losing weight. I tried for 3 years to lose weight. After starting #40 my blood sugar #40 is stable now. I was able to stop overeating and lost my excess weight. Sara John, 40, Kitchener, ON I was struggling for 15 years with weight gain in spite of diet and exercise. I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic. I will forever be grateful to the store manager that explained to me to take #40 and read suggestions to avoid fattening foods. I lost 70 lbs. My fasting blood sugar is now 92. My 2 hour post meal glucose level is now 92 as well. My new shape raised my self-esteem and gave me immeasurable peace of mind. Karen Maples, 55, Clarksville, TN Diabetic eliminated high blood sugar levels with #40. My readings were 140 to 200 and are now 99 to 122 range where I want it to be. Before I bought about 10 different supplement that were more expensive and didn’t work as well. I also lost some weight. A great improvement in my health and daily living. Roger Light, 57, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Skeptics may call anybody. All real people with honest statements.

Porsche is expected to unveil the Cayenne GTS next week at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition.

New Porsche Cayenne GTS set for world premiere in Beijing METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Porsche is set to unveil the second-generation Cayenne GTS next week at the Beijing International Automotive Exhibition, also known as Auto China.

Based on the Cayenne S, this new model is equipped with 20 additional horsepower, a 20 mm lower ride height and a lower final drive ratio for improved driving dynamics.

The latest Cayenne transmits power from its 420 hp V8 to an active All-Wheel-Drive system coupled to an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission with integrated Auto Start Stop function.

The specially tuned engine and transmission combination enable the Cayenne GTS to sprint

from a standing start to 60 mph in 5.4 seconds and to achieve a top-track-speed of 162 mph.

The Cayenne GTS is recognizable from the outside by its high-gloss black trim, prominent side skirts and wider wheel arches as well as the hood and front fascia from the Cayenne Turbo; 20-inch RS Spyder wheels with a unique offset for the GTS are standard.

Inside, the Cayenne GTS features exclusive GTS eight-way adjustable front sports seats with Alcantara accents. For the first time in the Cayenne, a new Sport Chrono package is now available to monitor the improved performance offered by the GTS model.

Additionally, a Sound Symposer channels authentic engine intake sounds into the cabin.

Midgley to take on new Keg challenge COURTESY KEN KEATING

For at least a few nights this summer, Darrell Midgley will change his promoter status to one of driver when he takes part in the new Keg Steakhouse & Bar Driver Challenge for the Late Models.

No stranger to Late Model racing, Midgley’s interest in racing began early as his dad, Reg, was a long-time promoter at Western Speedway.

After starting with go-karts at age 11, he travelled to various tracks and in 1978 won a National Championship.

His career led him into Late Model racing in both dirt and asphalt competition.

In 2009, he won the Northern Provincial Pipeline Championship racing on dirt at several tracks in Alberta, Saskatchewan and the U.S. Campbell River’s Jason Beaulieu placed second in points that same year, making a 1 - 2 finish for Vancouver Islanders.

Running for outright points was never a priority for Midgley as he took part in several different Late Model series, choosing different tracks and places where he would like to compete.

He picked up the win in the Canada 200 in both 1999 and 2000. In 2010, he won the Katana Boat Sportsman Series

at Western Speedway, followed by a second-place finish in the Canada 200 later that year. Trips in 2006 and 2008 to New Smyrna Beach, Florida for the World Series of Asphault meant racing in eight events over 10 nights. “That’s a really, really fast place and we couldn’t have done that without (major sponsor) Dwight Kennedy.”

Wins at Redwood Acres in Eureka and Reading’s Win River 150 in 2001 were additional highlights. “That is probably one of the biggest races up and down the West Coast for Late Models,” he says.

In the Keg Steakhouse & Bar Driver Challenge, the challenge will be to drive “smart and not use all their stuff ” in the first feature. “It’s a great concept and I can’t take any credit for it. It’s Steve Copp, Bill Smith Jr., and Daryl Crocker that came up with this format and it’s a great idea,” Midgley says.

Midgley plans to run each event in this series, the Canada 200 and possibly a few more events in Canada or the U.S. in 2012. Credits go to Ted Zerbin, Brad Davies, Daryl and Glen Crocker, Dean Pickup and Gord Davies for their talents building race cars – “just an amazing group of people that have been with us all along and made me look better than I am,” Midgley says.

Western Speedway’s Darrell Midgley looks forward to the 2012 racing season.

New 2013 Ram 1500: Best-in-class fuel efficiency, new technology and new features METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Ram 1500 for 2013 – the most recognizable pickup on the road – delivers claimed best-in-class fuel economy with a truckload of pioneering, fuel-saving systems.

These include a more fuel-efficient and more powerful 3.6-litre V6 engine and first-in-segment technologies: eight-speed automatic transmission, stop-start system, thermal management system, pulse-width modulation and active aerodynamics, including grille shutters and air suspension.

New V6 features 42 per cent more horsepower, 13 per cent more torque and at least 20 per cent better fuel economy when compared to the previous 3.7-litre V6 powertrain.

The legendary 5.7-litre Hemi V8 with fuel-saving cylinder shut-off and VVT provide 395 hp, 407 lb/ft of torque and claimed best-in-class fuel economy for V8 trucks (at least 20 per cent better fuel

economy when compared to 2012 V8 powertrain).

Also, the Hemi delivers a claimed best-in-class towing and payload – 11,500 pounds and 3,125 pounds respectively, with Ram 1500 Tradesman Heavy Duty.

The class-exclusive eight-speed automatic transmission (TorqueFlite 8), standard equipment with 3.6-litre V6 Pentastar, doubles the amount of gears compared to previously available fourspeed automatic transmission, which improves drivability and enhances fuel efficiency. The new eight-speed also is available with the 5.7-litre V8 Hemi – the company’s first application with a V8 (TorqueFlite 8 with V8 is late availability).

Adding to industry firsts in a pickup truck is the application of stop-start, another fuel saving feature available on select 2013 Ram 1500 models.

This new system improves fuel economy by up to 3.3 per cent, an increase of about one mile-per-gallon to the truck’s city drive cycle.

The 2013 Ram pickup boasts a number of industry firsts along with claimed best-in-class fuel economy and towing ability.
