Puppet-packed parade planned for Victoria Day Parade to get special treatment marking city’s 150th anniversary Erin McCracken News staff

lowns, beeping horns, dancers, mascots, marching bands.

Monday marks the return of the annual Island Farms Victoria Day Parade.

And for the first time, the public will see seven larger-than-life performers – stilt-walkers, acrobats and enormous puppets. The costumes and puppets were specially made for Victoria’s 150th anniversary as an incorporated municipality.

The characters, courtesy of the History 2 Life ■ Sunday: Soak up Performance the musical talents of Troupe, include a several U.S. marching Cadborosaurus, bands for free on the the spirit of legislature grounds, Chinatown, from 2 to 4 p.m. a giant First Nations-inspired ■ Monday: A 150th eagle, Amor de anniversary display Cosmos, Emily happens in Centennial Carr’s monkey Square from 9 a.m. to Woo, a Big News 3 p.m. Taste the new character and Victoria Tribute Blend a bicycle-riding of tea developed for flower dancer, the city’s anniversary representing the year, from 11 a.m. to City of Gardens.

3 p.m.

“It’s an opportunity for us to bring the idea of history to life, literally ... and just to give people a real visual and very fun kind of interaction with some of the icons of the city’s history,” said Alice Bacon, Victoria 150 co-ordinator.

“We wanted to really capture the whole essence of the community, both historically and culturally, and in a way that’s fun.”

To further mark the milestone year,

Victoria Day weekend

Don Denton/News staff

Catherine Hahn, puppet designer and builder, and Tim Gosley, puppeteer and producer, stand with an oversized version of Victoria pioneer and B.C.’s second premier, Amor de Cosmos. The giant puppet, created for Victoria’s 150th anniversary celebrations, is among a group that will be unveiled during the Victoria Day Parade on Monday (May 21).

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin will lead the 114th consecutive parade, until he is dropped off at Municipal Hall to join the parade judges.

Fortin, at the head of the parade for the first time, will ride with Esquimalt Nation Chief Andy Thomas.

Just as it does every year around

this time, parade organizer Ron Butlin’s phone has been ringing off the hook. But those calling to secure a last-minute spot in the parade lineup are out of luck.

As he has for many years, Butlin, who chairs the Greater Victoria Festival Society, capped the number of parade entries at 142. Another 25 applicants

must wait until next year’s event.

“I don’t like turning people away,” he said, but any more than that has proven to be too much in past years. “It gets too long out there with the families.”

Jane Vermeulen, an Esquimalt resident and veterinarian, runs a monthly volunteer veterinary clinic for the pets of people in need.

Vermeulen examines Panda, a two-month-old Boston terrier and Shih Tzu cross, during recent clinic hours.

Triage with

Story by Erin McCracken Photos by Don Denton

heart Volunteer vets aren’t simply caring for the pets of the needy, they’re providing care for pet owners’ souls Erin McCracken News staff

With his sunken cheeks and darting, wide eyes, Raymond Ramsay’s face is evidence of a hard life lived, one that has aged him well beyond his 31 years.

Around him, some of Greater Victoria’s neediest – the homeless, the working poor and those dependent on disability payments or social assistance – stream into the courtyard at Our Place in downtown Victoria.

Some have been waiting more than an hour to ensure their pets are examined by a nine-member volunteer team of veterinarians, veterinary nurses and assistants, who set up shop in the courtyard on the second Thursday of every month, from 2 to 4 p.m.

The appointment book at Dr. Jane Vermeulen’s Philanthropic Vaccine Clinic – better known as Vets for Pets – fills up quickly.

During his appointment, Ramsay receives care instructions and a baggy of medicine to treat his neighbour’s dogs.

Typically, Ramsay brings his beloved cat, Minou, to the clinic, a place he says has made pet ownership more affordable.

He was shocked a few months ago when he was saddled with a $200 bill for a flea treatment at a for-profit clinic.

“That’s when I started to come here, because it’s free,” he says.

His disability payments only go so far, and despite the expense that comes with owning an animal, he won’t give up his cat.

Ramsay credits his feline companion for giving him a reason to kick a drug habit, as well as stay out of jail and remain housed for almost two years.

“When we’re sitting outside on the sidewalk (panhandling), people are looking at us in different ways, because we’re dirty and we dress different. They call us drug addicts,” says Ramsay, an alcoholic and a recovering heroin addict. “But a dog will not judge you. My cat loves me no matter what. And for a person like me, love means a lot. If you only have hurt and anger in your world, it’s not a good world to live in.”

The accomplishment of being able to feed Minou and keep her healthy makes Ramsay feel “happy.”

“It gives me a sense of purpose,” he says.

Gordon Koleszar comforts his six-year-old dog, Cooper, after a treatment by veterinarians at a free animal-care clinic at Our Place on Pandora Avenue.

Vets for Pets makes that possible.

A team of four volunteers treated just eight pets when Vermeulen opened the clinic in September 2009.

Today, nine volunteers administer vaccines for rabies, kennel cough, distemper and other contagious diseases, as well as flea and worm controls to 60 animals – mostly dogs, cats, rabbits and rats – in just two hours.

“Part of the reason why we do this is it keeps the disease level lower, because these dogs have a lot of contact with other dogs,” Vermeulen says.

Her team cares for animals in an intense, fast-paced environment in which there is an element of risk; some clients arrive high on drugs, though most are able to function well.

Regardless, Vermeulen says the work is rewarding.

“We all feel we’re doing something valuable for animals,” the Esquimalt resident says. “We became veterinarians to help animals, and sometimes you kind of forget about that a bit. It’s kind of nice to get back to the basics.”

‘The basics’ include medicines donated by pharmaceutical companies, and supplies purchased by Vermeulen.

Donated pet food is available outside the cat clinic, which operates out of the no-frills shipping and receiving room at Our Place. Outside, Vermeulen and her volunteers treat their canine patients in a space surrounded by large garbage dumpsters, sheltered by an overhang.

Her team sometimes encounters pets that are in very poor health – those cases are referred to the B.C. SPCA for follow-up – but “not as many as people would think,” she says.

Loki the cat likes to hang out and enjoy “Some of these are the best-kept the view from owner Chris McMenamie’s animals in Victoria. They’re with their shoulder during their visits to the Vets for owners all the time.”

Pets clinic.

Evidence of the growing need for her

clinic is close at hand.

In one corner of the courtyard, a cat dozes on the chest of a young man who is lying on a blanket, surrounded by his few worldly possessions. Nearby, men hover near their overflowing shopping carts, their dogs by their side.

Everywhere, canine critters strain on their leashes in an effort to sniff one another. Barking erupts loudly in one corner. Several nervous lap cats are comforted by their humans.

Some pet owners make the trip each month from as far away as Sooke.

Veterinarian Horace Yeung drives in from Duncan to donate his time and expertise.

“This is very basic medicine, but the bottom line is we do our best to help the animals,” says Yeung, who helps out in the cat clinic. “Yes, we do have limited supplies of medications and assistance or diagnostic tests, but we use our knowledge, our judgment to do the best for the patient. That’s a crucial part of medicine. It doesn’t need to be fancy.”

A man approaches the doctor and, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye, says, “I have a guppy who has a drinking problem.”

Yeung laughs. “I don’t know if I can help you too much.”

His work at the clinic is about much more than caring for his four-legged patients.

“In a setting like this or a small-animal clinic, you often have two patients: the owner and the animal.”

Monthly visits to the clinic are a highlight for regulars Mary-Lee Cunningham and Chris McMenamie.

Both say the free service is the reason why many impoverished people are able to keep the pets that give meaning to their lives.

Victoria’s Highland Games growing in popularity Culture, athletics, married for weekend event at Topaz Park Roszan Holmen News staff

For top-ranking, heavy-event athletes, the Victoria Highlands Games is already on the international map – but it’s not all about the strongmen at this weekend’s festival.

The annual event is growing a strong reputation for its Scottish and Celtic cultural events as well.

“What we’re trying to do is create a very high-quality Highland Games with world-class entertainment,” said Jim Maxwell, president of the Victoria Highlands Games Association.

There are several firsts this year, including a drum major challenge.

“That’s brand new for us,” Maxwell said. “They don’t do it much in Canada.”

World champ Jason Paguio of

Simon Fraser University will compete by leading a band up and down the field twirling and tossing his baton, keeping the beat for the musicians.

“These guys make an art form of it,” said Maxwell, adding that next year he plans to hold a competition between the 10 best drum majors in the world.

Dancers, pipers and drummers will also compete on Sunday (May 20).

Many of the Celtic events evolved from Scotland’s strong military culture, explained Maxwell. Strongmen events were used to select warriors, roughly 1,000 years ago. Similarly, pipers historically led the regiments into battle. “The bagpipes are the only registered instrument of war.”

The same was true of highland dancing.

“It was only in the mid-1900s that women were doing it. Up until then, it was training for all the Scottish regiments. If you watch the highland dancers, it takes dexterity and strength to do it.”

Also new this year is the first sanc-

tioned sheep herding competition.

Other crowd-pleasing competitions include sheep shearing, duck herding and tug-of-war. Add to the list two beer gardens, haggis tasting, history presentations, falconry and sword fighting demonstrations, a whisky school and Celtic music festival.

“It goes on and on,” Maxwell said.

He expects 15,000 to 20,000 people to attend the events Saturday and Sunday. It hasn’t always been that way. “It wasn’t that long ago, it was a one day fairly small event and now it’s quite a large event and it’s getting bigger and bigger every year.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Phase 1 completed at Queens Manor

City considers grant for affordable housing

The first 12 of 36 units at Queens Manor have been renovated and its tenants moved back in. The city purchased the former Traveller’s Inn on 710 Queens Avenue near Douglas Street in 2010.

While waiting for the $1.5million renovation job to proceed, the Victoria Cool Aid Society rented the units as “low-barrier” housing for the hard-to-house.

After successfully transforming the Capri Motel into belowmarket rental units, the Greater Victoria Housing Society has its eye on the motel next door, at 35-39 Gorge Rd. E. The society is now asking for a $680,000 grant from the City of Victoria, equalling a $10,000 grant per unit. Due in part to the society’s track record, the city’s department of sustainability recommends approving

the request.

Thirty-five units would be rented for 80 per cent below market rate, while the remaining units would rent for market rate. Eligible tenants include families with income under $65,000 and working singles with incomes below $38,000.

The city’s housing fund has a balance of $1.2 million.

Council reviewed the request at a governance and priorities meeting Thursday, after the News deadline. rholmen@vicnews.com

Taxes on tobacco, liquor and privately sold cars to stay Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government has tabled its long-awaited legislation to kill the harmonized sales tax and return to the old provincial sales tax, with some modernization to make it easier for small businesses to administer and pay the tax.

Finance Minister Kevin Falcon said Monday the PST will return as scheduled in April 2013, with exemptions for haircuts, restaurant meals, bicycles, movie tickets, gym memberships and all the other rules it had before.

The only sales tax breaks that won’t return are temporary exemptions that would have expired by now, including energy-conserving windows and appliances, and fuel-efficient cars.

Tax changes that were made along with the HST will be maintained. That includes a 12-percent provincial tax on privately sold used cars, making the tax equal to that paid at a car dealership.

Provincial tobacco taxes were increased seven per cent when the HST came in, and that tax will

“… obviously, we’re going to have to manage the challenge of bringing back a tax that is less efficient and conducive to economic development.”

about $1,000.

Low-income families will give up a $230-perperson rebate that was introduced to offset the higher costs of HST to consumers, including children.

As of April 2013, the PST rebate will resume, paying $75 per single adult with an income of $15,000 or less, and $75 per parent for families with an income of $18,000 or less.

Falcon noted an independent panel found the end of the HST will mean $520 million less revenue for the B.C. treasury next year, $645 million less the following year and increasing lost revenue after that.

“Clearly, any government in the future is going to have less revenue available to it, there’s no doubt about that,” Falcon said.

“And obviously, we’re going to have to manage the challenge of bringing back a tax that is less efficient and conducive to economic development.” editor@vicnews.com

– Kevin Falcon continue. Liquor taxes will also be adjusted to keep retail prices the same as they are now.

NDP finance critic Bruce Ralston said the legislation is relatively simple, with regulations listing the many rules and exemptions still to come this fall so businesses can prepare for next spring.

“I think they could have done it faster and they should have done it faster,” Ralston said.

The government expects to save about $9 million a year in administration costs by using a new online registration and payment system for business, which B.C. expects to administer with about 100 fewer staff.

Businesses will have to set up their computers to comply, with software expected to cost them

Expenditures mount for sewage project Still no funding in place from B.C. or federal governments Edward Hill News staff

In the past six years, the Capital Regional District has spent more than $18 million planning for regional sewage treatment, but senior governments remain mum on funding the project.

The CRD liquid waste management committee approved another $50,000 for planning work last week, but little has happened in the past year, as the province and federal governments mull approving a plan ordered by the B.C. Ministry of Environment in 2006. “We think we’ll get an announcement in the next few months, or sooner. I think we are getting closer,� said committee chair Denise Blackwell, a Langford councillor. “We aren’t going ahead with anything until we have a signed agreement with the province and the feds for their share.�

The province approved the CRD’s plan in August 2010 to build a wastewater treatment site at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, and a separate biosolids facility at either Hartland Landfill or a location closer to McLoughlin, if possible. Underground storage tanks will be

constructed in east Saanich. The ing in advance.�

Deer advocacy group takes aim at makeup of advisory panel Brittany Lee News staff

A local animal rights group is asking Capital Regional District board members to remove a bowhunter appointed to the CRD’s deer management advisory committee.

Representatives of DeerSafe Victoria wrote the CRD formally asking that Richard Christiansen, a member of the United Bowhunters of British Columbia, be taken off the Citizen’s Advisory Group.

They are also requesting that a DeerSafe member be appointed to the advisory group in his place. “We’ve taken it on ourselves to complain directly to the CRD because there is no other way to communicate with them,� Kelly Carson, one of the founding members of DeerSafe, said.

Members of DeerSafe, who attended the group’s first meeting May 9 and plan to attend every meeting, feel the makeup of the committee is “pro-cull� and that it needs to be more balanced.

Unless a member of the advisory group continuously misses meetings or seems unprepared to participate, the CRD board does not plan to remove them, said CRD chair Geoff Young. “Normally you wouldn’t expect to remove people because of their views. That’s the point of the committee, is that they’re there to express their views,� he said.

Advisory group members were selected based on the written material provided in their applications, outlining their individual knowledge and expertise.

Given the constraints on geographic and agricultural representation required, a range of people were chosen, Young added. While the board is aware members of the advisory group may be representatives of certain organizations, the hope is that some common ground can be reached, he said. “They’re going to give us ideas and input, and each of the (CRD) directors will have to make up his or her own mind.� reporter@vicnews.com

Show CRD the money The constant news cycle may have bumped Greater Victoria’s wastewater treatment project to the back burner.

But work continues on the Capital Regional District’s largest-ever infrastructure expenditure – $782 million at last estimate. This, despite the lack of guarantees about the funding level from the CRD’s partners, the provincial and federal governments.

Readers will remember the commitment made by those two parties to the agreement was one-third each, along with the CRD’s onethird share of the cost.

The CRD has been spending money at a good clip since being ordered in 2006 to replace, with full wastewater treatment, the current practice of piping screened raw sewage into the Juan de Fuca Strait.

To date, roughly $18 million has been spent on consultants’ fees, land acquisitions and other undertakings in preparation for this massive project. That’s a heck of a pile of money to spend before a single shovel or backhoe hits the ground.

Given the rate of spending, the appropriate time is now for taxpayers to start questioning their CRD representatives about where the money is going. CRD liquid waste management committee chair Denise Blackwell is optimistic the promised money will show up soon, but is that enough for the average resident, whose property taxes will be jacked up as a result of the project?

The Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development – overseen by Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Ida Chong – says the province still intends to fund one-third of eligible project costs. Admitting that discussions about governance are ongoing between the CRD, the province and the feds, Chong said in the legislature this spring that when the funding can be released, the NDP – and we hope, the public – will be first to know.

For now it’s all talk.

Taxpayers need to pressure local representatives to go up the governmental food chain and get some better answers, before much more of our money is spent on this project.

Now I can harp on her if those wedding thank-yous aren’t out in six weeks (insert winky face here).

Funding for bridge should be flexible There is a danger in making assumptions regarding the Federal Building Canada funding of the Johnson Street Bridge replacement project.

Proponents of a unique, experimental and expensive architectural design have stated that there is a deadline for completion that, if missed, will result in Canada’s withdrawal of this funding. I find this statement of an immovable deadline hard to believe.

Victoria city councillors have been pressured to accept substantial budget increases by the proponents who have used this deadline argument to rush the project through.

This infrastructure project is by far the largest the City of Victoria has ever attempted.

By late-June, three contractors will begin the proposal and bidding process.

It is very likely that the costs will escalate beyond the approved budget and so it is imperative that council

be prepared to make hard decisions regarding the design, and whether to simplify it and adopt a more conventional tried-and-true variety to reduce the costs and risks.

Answering these simple questions would be greatly appreciated by councillors and taxpayers: Can this funding deadline be extended? If so, what would the procedure be to extend this deadline?

If we do not have definitive answers to these questions, then the city will be at a disadvantage when any unforeseen circumstances arise that delay the project.

If there is no cause for concern and the grant deadline is indeed extendable, then the project is being unnecessarily rushed, which will likely cause increased costs and human error.

I have written to Denis Lebel, the Minister of Transport, Infrastructure and Communities and Victoria MP Denise Savoie hoping for answers.

Readers respond: Civil forfeiture, Juno kudos, pipeline protest Police took the right tack in pursuing bike seizure through civil forfeiture Re: Civil forfeiture muddies message (Our View, May 4) This opinion piece argues a position which is exactly opposite to the editorial’s own first sentence.

In this case, forfeiture of the vehicle sends exactly the right message and a crystal clear one at that. You state in summing up, “Driving at speeds shown in the video create a probability of massive injuries and possibly death to the rider, as well the dozens of innocent people sharing the road. That is the message that must be imparted.”

What better way to impart that message than to signal to anyone else contemplating such madness that their vehicle will be seized and forfeited? Your editorial criticizes the action, but offers no alternative suggestion as to how to get the message across. Good for the police.

They have done exactly the right and legal thing.

Eli W. Fricker (Letters, May 11), who tends to put down the opinions of all environmentalists.

First, the oil companies involved in the pipelines mostly belong to Chinese government companies who will reap the profits.

Secondly, they are planning to submit bids to build the pipelines and bring in temporary foreign workers at less than minimum wage. Very few new jobs will be created (a mere 142 in Kitimat) as we are exporting crude oil, and what new jobs there are will be at the source (Alberta). Meanwhile, of course, Eastern Canada imports oil.

Jobs in fishing and tourism, as well as those of First Nations, are at risk. The only jobs may be in piloting the huge tankers and in cleaning up the spills which are inevitable, given the history.

So, finally, jobs in B.C. will be lost, with no profits to balance this loss.

Juno support curious after blues musician’s nomination ignored

Real evidence available of oil spill prevalence, remediation

I found it ironic that Saanich has committed $100,000 to bring the 2014 Junos here when local Saanich musician Bill Johnson was not recognized by local media for being nominated for a 2012 Juno Award for “Blues CD of Year.”

His CD Still Blue has received national acclaim in blues circles. This was the first time a Victoria-area musician has ever been nominated for that award.

Bill ventured forth to the Ottawa awards and performed to an enthusiastic packed house. Unfortunately he lost out to Monkeyjunk from the Ottawa-Eastern Canada scene. Good luck in 2014 Bill, if you can scale that momentous mountain again.

John R. Hunter Saanich

Re: Just the facts wanted around pipeline protests (Letters, May 11) Eli Fricker’s letter asked for “… empirical arguments that can be presented to debunk the environmental balderdash.” Unlike our Prime Minister and others whose minds are already made up, Mr. Fricker is hopefully willing to weigh facts and make decisions based on reason.

To avoid accusations of presenting only one-sided information from environmentalists, let’s look at data from an oil industry group: the ITOPF (International Tanker Owners Pollution Federation, itopf.com). Their database includes more than 10,000 accidental spills from vessels since 1970, adding up to 5.7 million tonnes of oil.

Of those recorded spills, about 500 were large, i.e quantities greater than 700 tonnes. The ITOPF points out that the annual incidence of spills has been decreasing since the 1970s; 2010-11 saw an average of 2.5 large spills per year.

A factor of 10 reduction from the 1970s spill rate sounds

Pipeline balance sheets tilted toward China, low-wage jobs I read today of stats that contradict the assumptions of

promising, but these gains would be negated by the proposed increase in tanker traffic and size.

The ITOPF data excludes spills caused by war, underreports small operational spills, and does not include those from oil platforms (e.g. the 500,000 tonnes from the Deepwater Horizon in 2010), so the ITOPF numbers understate the impact to the marine environment.

Blaming a spill on natural forces or terrorist acts doesn’t reduce its harm. If the next big earthquake on the West Coast ruptures a pipeline, we will suffer the costs of damage to our environment, jobs and food supply just as surely as if the spill were “the responsibility of the pipeline operator.”

Mr. Fricker also asks whether remediation can restore the ecosystem. Not in practice, and cleaning up tar sands oil is much more difficult than regular crude. Search for information about Enbridge’s spill in the Kalamazoo River in 2010; this spill remains unremediated.

POLICE NEWS IN BRIEF

Teens arrested on bus after cigarettes pinched The ill effects of cigarettes were hammered home to an Esquimalt man Friday night (May 11) after his carton of smokes was stolen by two teens.

He was walking home near Memorial Park in the 1100-block of Esquimalt Rd. around 7:30 p.m. when another man approached and threatened to hurt him if he didn’t hand over the cigarettes.

The victim did so then alerted police that the suspect was escaping on a B.C. Transit bus.

Police pulled over the bus on Esquimalt Road and arrested a 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, who was carrying a cigarette carton. The suspects face robbery charges. The girl was released on a promise to appear in court on June 5, and the man was taken into custody and held for a youth court appearance. emccracken@vicnews.com

Victoria detective honoured for identifying fallen heroes Erin McCracken News staff

A Victoria police officer’s dedication to honouring fallen police and peace officers in B.C. has earned him a special honour.

Det.-Const. Jonathan Sheldan was appointed a member of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces by Gov. Gen David Johnston in a ceremony in Ottawa on May 9. Sheldan was one of 34 police officers recognized.

The 20-year Victoria police veteran, who works with the Vancouver Island Integrated Major Crime Unit, earned the appointment for his historical research identifying police and peace officers in B.C. who have lost their lives.

The detective said last week’s recognition is not about him.

“It’s about us not forgetting the sacrifice of others,” he said.

Sheldan founded the B.C. Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation with two Vancouver police officers, which led to the creation of a memorial at the southeast corner of the legislature in Victoria in 2004. The names of 96 fallen officers in B.C. were featured on it at the time.

Through their historical research, foundation members identified 10 more officers who have paid the ultimate price, and their names have since been added to the granite bastion.

More recently, Sheldan has identified eight officers who died in the 1800s. Their names will be engraved on the monument later this year, bringing the total to 114.

“There was a time period when I was new on the job that I think we’d forgotten part of our history, and it really struck me that you can’t do that, you can’t

In his leadership role with the Victoria Police Department’s Historical Society and his work with the Canadian Heraldic Authority, Sheldan was also instrumental in the development of VicPD’s first crest and coat of arms, unveiled in 2009.

An exhibit showcasing how the department developed its coat of arms is being featured at the National Capital Commission’s Capital Information Centre in Ottawa until Nov. 11. The display marks Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee.

Sheldan’s Order of Merit appointment is well-deserved and reflects his dedication to the Victoria Police Department and its history, said Victoria police

Chief Const. Jamie Graham.

“Jonathan’s commitment to VicPD and his passion for honouring our history have shone through in his career,” Graham said.

In his speech, Johnston said the appointees put the needs of others before their own.

“You are here not by accident, but because you have stood out as willing to go beyond the call of duty, to think differently about the work that you do and to show compassion for the community,” he said.

Since the inception of the Order of Merit of the Police Forces in 2000, select members and employees of police agencies in Canada have been recognized for exceptional contributions that go above and beyond protecting the public. emccracken@vicnews.com

Four people were arrested Tuesday after the front door of Spinnakers Spirit Merchants in James Bay was smashed and bottles of alcohol were taken just after midnight.

Witnesses reported hearing the sound of breaking glass and spotting people taking off from the premises at 425 Simcoe St.

Victoria police dogs tracked the suspects and collected evidence, “as an assortment of hard liquor bottles were scattered in the neighbourhood,” Const. Mike Russell said in a statement.

One suspect was traced to a wood pile behind a house in the 400-block of Luxton St., and suffered a “small dog bite to the

Two women, one 30, the other 18, were arrested and were scheduled to appear in provincial court Tuesday. A 24-year-old woman and a 16-year-old male were released on promises to appear in court on June 25. emccracken@vicnews.com

Caring for a pet helps to keep owners healthy Continued from Page A3

“There’s lots of times we want something that we can’t afford,” says McMenamie, his cat, Loki, perched on his shoulder. “Loki is a part of my life and I don’t want to get rid of him for anything. I would gladly do without to make sure he has the food that he needs.”

Cunningham’s cats Storm and Tigger are like family, providing her with the unconditional love she went without while struggling with addiction and living for almost a decade on Victoria’s streets. Her life turned around two years ago.

“They’ve kept me grounded, kept me home, gave me something to look forward to – a start, because I’d lost my family for some time,” she says.

Vets for Pets is her ticket to responsible pet ownership.

“These people actually take their time out to come and help us that can’t afford to get these shots – I mean, some of these shots are $150,” Cunningham says. “There’s just no way I could afford it.”

Meanwhile, things are looking up for Ramsay and Minou. They will soon move to a better place on Store Street.

“It’s one bedroom, $375 (a month) and they’ll allow my cat,” Ramsay says proudly. He plans to add a second feline to his family once he settles in.

Finding a place that welcomes pets was just as important, he says, as getting out of the “crack shack” apartment building where he currently lives in Victoria.

“People are not going to get rid of their pets,” Vermeulen says. “People say, ‘Well, they shouldn’t have a pet if they can’t afford it.’ It’s not going to happen. It’s companionship.

“Now we can at least make sure the pets are healthy and the diseases are under control,” she says, before launching herself back onto the front lines of providing care not only to needy pets, but also for the most grateful of pet owners.

“That’s why we do this.” emccracken@vicnews.com For a photo slideshow on Vets for Pets, visit vicnews.com.

How to help ■ Vets for Pets needs to purchase or receive a donated hand-held otoscope for ear examinations.

Veterinarian Jane Vermeulen’s wish list also includes pet food, antibiotics, parasite controls, thermometers, office supplies, syringes and monetary donations.

A home at the corner of Lansdowne and Dean roads sits behind police tape last week after a major marijuana grow-op was discovered inside.

Police uncover large grow-op inside upscale Saanich home Kyle Slavin News staff

More than 500 marijuana plants – 92 pounds worth – were found inside a Saanich home last week after B.C. Hydro tipped police off to a theft of electricity.

Saanich police say officers found the plants taking up most of the bottom floor of the threestorey house, located in the 1800-block of Lansdowne Rd. next to Camosun College, after executing a search warrant the evening of May 10.

“It was very sophisticated and very immaculate. Very professional, very clean,” said Sgt. Dean Jantzen.

“This is a large commercial operation.”

Police executed the first search warrant at the house around 1:30 p.m. with regard to electricity theft.

A Hydro crew disconnected the home’s power in the afternoon and allegedly found the bypass wiring near a basement door, which connected to the grow-op lights and equipment.

The second search warrant of the home, in relation to the grow-op, was executed the same night.

Two adult women and a child were found inside the home. The women were arrested and later released. B.C.’s Ministry of Children and Families was notified.

One man, an occupant of the home, was arrested later in the day Thursday. Police are recommending charges of production and possession for the purposes of trafficking. kslavin@saanichnews.com

Couple wins major prize from The Brick

COMMUNITY NEWS

Victoria’s Jeff and Patti Shultis were winners of a national contest from The Brick furniture stores, taking home $10,000 in gift cards from the store.

The Brick’s “Flip It to Win” promotion ran through April, giving customers a chance to win instant prizes in the store and then enter online for the grand prize, says Victoria’s Douglas Street store manager John Ellis.

The annual contest is hosted by about 150 Brick and Brick Mattress locations across Canada, including the two Victoria stores, on Jennifer Blyth Douglas Street and in Business Beat Langford.

“We’re a small store compared to some others across the country so it’s pretty big (for us). As a store we thought it was really exciting, then when the Shultises showed up the energy (was terrific), ” Ellis says.

Filmmaking on a scale of ‘One to 11’ Unique group filmmaking project connects writers and directors Erin McCracken News staff

Like any storyteller, Natalie North and Meghan Bell want to know how their story will end.

For that to happen, they are looking for more directors to take a number of completed scripts from the page to the big screen.

The graduates of the University of Victoria’s writing department are the visionaries behind One to 11, a project they developed in 2010 to bring together established directors and emerging writers to create short films. The works will one day be merged into one feature-length work.

The catch is that the stories are different; the only common threads linking the short films are shared locations, characters and actors.

“I think it’s fun to give people set criteria and see how they play within it,” North said.

She and Bell gave their project a name that captures its enormous creative scope.

“Meghan and I figured it was going to be so intense, it would need to be measured on a scale of one to 11,” said North, a Saanich

back story to be able to take them somewhere with anybody else’s character,” said filmmaker Daniel Hogg, who wrote a script for One to 11 that now needs a director.

“I’m not sure I’ve ever heard of a project like this before,” Hogg said.

Though there is still a ways to go before the shorts become a feature-length film, North said the success of the project won’t necessarily be measured by the final product.

“Our goal is to have new connections be made and new people working together, and so far that’s happened,” she said.

News staff

For nearly half of the Peninsula Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; existence, Sid Clarke has directed plays for the community theatre company. The group marks 60 years this season, and this weekend, Clarke celebrates opening his latest production, How The Other Half Loves by Alan Ayckbourn. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the grand finale of the Playersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This play is one that the English dramatist wrote for the New York stage and is considered one of his most innovative,â&#x20AC;? Clarke said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are three married couples with the men all working for the same firm. The problem is that one of the younger man is having an affair with the wife of the boss. When each returns home early one morning, there is a need to invent an acceptable explanation that is based on their cooked up story of trying to smooth over infidelity in the marriage of the third couple.â&#x20AC;?

An unusual stage set provides difficulty for Clarke, but intrigue for the audience. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The living rooms of two couples are shown on one set with a common dining area that serves as the place for two dinners simultaneously taking place on two different nights,â&#x20AC;? Clarke

The play opens at Berwick Theatre on Friday, May 18 for three shows and goes to the Saanich Peninsula on May 25. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A part of community wellbeing and community health is the artistic content. This is really a healthy community and the theatre wants to be part of that,â&#x20AC;? said Clarke, who has been with the Players for 26 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Community theatre, probably because of its voluntary nature and potential to entertain and

foster local artistic talent, has been a constant feature in many Canadian communities.â&#x20AC;?

In the past 60 years the Peninsula Players troupe added almost 150 productions to the health of the community, and Clarke anticipates things could go well for decades more. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got venues we can survive,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You can always get people to do the artistic stuff.â&#x20AC;?

Artistic director, Paul Destrooper and the company are currently creating their final performance of this season and have thrown open the studio doors, inviting the public to watch the metamorphosis as A Midsummer Nightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Dream comes to life.

Character development, romantic entanglements, arabesques, pointes and partners are all on the line as the company speeds toward the Royal Theatre performance dates of May 31 and June 1. The public is invited to preview the pre-performance mayhem for free on May 18 and 25 from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Ballet Victoria Studios in St. Andrewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Church at 643 Broughton St. On each date, Destrooper will preview sections ts dly presen layers prou Pe n i n s u l a P

Ferry review to add cash, cut sailings on major routes Late-night trips likely to be sacrificed Tom Fletcher Black Press

The B.C. government is giving B.C. Ferries an extra $79.5 million over the next four years, and is looking for another $45 million in operational savings to bring rate increases down to the rate of inflation over that time.

Transportation Minister Blair Lekstrom said the inflation goal will not be met immediately, even with most of the extra money up front.

The governmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s price cap of 4.15-percent increases for all routes remains in place for this year, and B.C. Ferry Commissioner

Gord Macatee will set increases for the next three years after consultation with coastal communities.

B.C. Ferries CEO Mike Corrigan said the corporation expects to cut at least 100 sailings on its major Vancouver Island routes, with low-ridership sailings late in the evening the likely target.

Corrigan said he is confident reductions can save $30 million over the next four years, and another $15 million in efficiencies can be found within the corporationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $750 million budget.

Premier Christy Clark said the legislative changes and extra subsidy are designed to meet her commitment to keep fare increases under control, despite declining ridership.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;People are just not spending the kind of money travelling that they used to,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Lekstrom said the legislative changes will be passed by the end of the spring session May 31. They offer new authority to the ferry commissioner to approve service level changes, and also allow B.C. Ferries to use revenues from its busy major routes to subsidize lowervolume runs.

NDP ferry critic Gary Coons described the changes as â&#x20AC;&#x153;incremental steps in the right direction.â&#x20AC;? He said the ban on crosssubsidization of routes was a mistake that drove steep increases on the smaller routes.

Lekstrom said the consultation on changes will begin as quickly as possible, to

A throwback to medieval days Past national champions mingle with novices at Highland Games heavy events Don Descoteau News staff

Anyone making an unplanned visit to Topaz Park this weekend might wonder if they’ve stumbled upon a medieval warriors’ competition.

They wouldn’t be far off.

The “heavy events” that comprise a major part of the annual Victoria Highland Games will feature 10 of the burliest, strongest men in the country, all vying for the Canadian Scottish Athletic Federation championship crown.

Twenty-nine-year-old Greg Hadley, a barrel-chested, six-foot, 273pounder from Antigonish, N.S., will be out to defend his title and capture his seventh national title.

He’ll be pressed by 2010 champion Jason Johnston, a 6-foot-2, 290-pound native of Regina.

The events – putting the stone, hammer throw, weight for distance (similar to hammer throw, but with a heavier weight), weight for height (hurling a 56-pound weight straight up), and the everpopular caber toss (throwing a telephone pole-sized log end over end) – have a distinctly medieval flavour to them.

It doesn’t take much imagination to picture these kilted competitors in a field in the old country, demonstrating feats of strength for the right – as traditional lore goes – to be chosen as one of 11th-century Scottish King Malcolm III’s personal bodyguards.

“You had men trying to prove themselves, and really it was (by) using things they had around them, very medieval-type instruments,” says Carl Jensen, a Central Saanich councillor and, since 2005, a competitor in amateur class heavy events. “It’s neat how it’s evolved into a sporting event, but it’s based back in medieval times.”

The 16-pound shotput, for

Adam Drummond gets ready to toss a 75 pound caber in front of the legislature as part of the Tartan Parade last Saturday. example, is roughly the size of a Middle Ages cannonball, while other items to be thrown are similar to things one might have found around a blacksmith’s shop.

While there’s no doubt about the strength of the competitors, from the professionals vying for the top prize money and the Canadian title, down to the amateurs, Jensen makes a distinction between his sport and similar competitions.

“What differentiates it from something like Strongman is its lineage,” he says. “This is a full-on Highland Games, it’s about celebrating Scottish culture.”

Unlike Strongman, which is more about sustained strength, Jensen says, “a lot of what we do is about explosive strength. It’s one throw, it’s one toss. It’s more

about technique.”

That explosiveness is one of the biggest differences spectators will notice between the amateurs and the pros this weekend.

As for amateurs, this weekend’s slate is the largest to date for the Victoria competition, with athletes coming from Alberta, Ontario, Washington, Oregon and California, and around B.C., including eight or 10 from Greater Victoria.

“This year we are going to be seeing record numbers in both the master (age 40 and over) men’s and women’s classes, as both are full at 12 athletes each,” Jensen says, noting the women’s field includes Kate Burton, ranked No. 2 in North America last year.

The breadth of competitors is a sign that “the Victoria heavy events competition has become

The strength events are interspersed between the variety of other Highland competitions in such things as fiddling, drumming, bagpiping, sheep-dog herd-

ing and dancing.

The Canadian championship events get underway at 1 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (May 19-20).

Cedar Hill hosts annual open golf tournament Saanich's municipally-run greens – Cedar Hill golf course – hosts its annual men's golf tournament this weekend, featuring a pro field of golfers including a number of the golf club's former juniors.

Rick Gibson, who plays on the professional European Senior Tour, and fan-favourite Gordy Scutt are among the golfers to watch at this year's tourney. "“Because so many local golfers got their start at Cedar Hill, the

Cedar Hill Open is always a bit like a family reunion," said tournament chair Craig Lawrence. "It’s so cool to see so many golfing professionals and seasoned amateurs, who used to play together as juniors, back together again at

what will always be their 'home' course.”

Attempted murder sentence nets American two more years in jail But double time given for time spent in Wilkinson Road jail Edward Hill News staff

A saga of jilted love and attempted murder in Saanich came to an end Friday in B.C. Supreme Court after an American man was sentenced to two years, minus one day, in prison.

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Gaul sentenced David Goldberg, 40, to nine and a half years for the attempted murder of Tatcha Aroonjaratsang and her husband Jeremy Walsh outside their Merriman Drive home four years ago.

But the judge awarded Goldberg seven and a half years of time served for spending the last three years and eight months at the Vancouver Island Correctional Centre on Wilkinson Road, leaving a remainder of two years behind bars.

Another 18 months was tacked on for the conviction of making an explosive, but the sentences run concurrently.

Defence lawyer Robert Mulligan said his client could seek parole within a year. When released from prison, Goldberg will be deported immediately from Canada, likely to California.

Once released, Goldberg is prohibited from entering Canada for three years under his probation order, and Mulligan said it is likely the Canadian Border Services Agency would prevent his client from ever entering Canada again.

“The question will be raised if there is any need to keep him here until the very last day because he will be deported to the U.S.,” Mulligan said outside the Victoria courthouse. “Mr. Goldberg is a good man who made a terrible mistake. I’m optimistic he will make a persuasive

argument to the parole board.”

Mulligan called his client a “survivor.”

“His overall approach is like any human in custody,” he said.

“He’d like to return to his friends and family. Naturally he’s disappointed. On the other hand it’s not an extraordinarily long period before he is released.”

Mulligan wouldn’t say if Goldberg would appeal his sentence, but noted he has 30 days to do so.

ment and materials that could be fashioned into a bomb, the judge pointed out.

During the confrontation on Merriman Drive, Goldberg “cocked and pointed the firearm directly at (Aroonjaratsang and Walsh) and told them they were both going to die.”

The gun discharged three times during his struggle with the couple, and the engineer was stabbed six times and nearly died.

Despite planning for “He brazenly entered a quiet a violent confrontation, Gaul said, he wasn’t conneighbourhood in Saanich, vinced that Goldberg committed “first-degree” brandished a firearm, pointed attempted murder – that it at two people.

Wee-hours traffic stop by VicPD leads to drugs, stolen property The Regional Crime Unit has broken up a drug-dealing and stolen property operation in View Royal thanks to a traffic stop Monday morning.

Victoria officers pulled over a suspicious vehicle just after 3 a.m. and appeared to see the driver trying to hide items throughout the car.

The 36-year-old driver, a View Royal man who police say is a well-known drug dealer, and a 27-year-old Esquimalt woman

were arrested after police say they found evidence of drug dealing inside the car.

The Regional Crime Unit has since taken over the case, and searched the male suspect’s home in the 200-block of Island Hwy. Five people were arrested there. Police seized three ornately carved wooden boxes, one containing thousands of dollars in cocaine, hash, methamphetamine and ecstasy.

“The Regional Crime Unit is now busy cataloguing all of the stolen property and drugs as this file grows larger,” Victoria police spokesperson Const. Mike Russell said in a statement.

Photos of the recovered property are available at www. facebook.com/VictoriaPoliceDepartment.

To claim items, email Staff. Sgt. Gary Schenk at gary.schenk@ regionalcrimeunit.ca. emccracken@vicnews.com

Esquimalt shines through photos Esquimalt’s true colours are showing in a new exhibit. The 150 photographic submitted works provide a thoughtful reflection of the township, and depict amateur images that capture military life, picturesque scenery, pets and wildlife, special holiday events and historical photographs.

The display was the culmination of the Victoria News’ Show Us Your Esquimalt photo contest, held in honour of Esquimalt’s centennial year.

At Tuesday’s grand unveiling at the Esquimalt Recreation Centre, Esquimalt municipal and centennial representatives, along with the Victoria News team, mingled with residents and munched on goodies supplied by The Renaissance Retirement Residence.

“They are truly outstanding and memorable shots, not only of times gone by, but looking at our children and our future and looking at the beautiful views and vistas,” Esquimalt Coun. Meagan Brame told those who gathered for the launch. “It really does make me proud that this is where I live.”

Sixty of the photos were published in a special supplement in Wednesday’s edition (May 16) of the News.

Helping to Beat the Odds: EDGEWOOD Victoria Addiction Services You’ve been diagnosed with a debilitating, life threatening, chronic disease. You receive a single treatment for your illness, but no follow up visits or regular medical check-ups, no community support and little understanding or encouragement from your family and community.

What are the odds you’ll survive?

The above condition describes addiction and according to Canada’s Centre for Addiction and Mental Health one in 10 of us suffers with alcohol or illicit drug dependence. Media portrays street addicts and injection drug users as the “face of addiction”, but addiction cuts across all of society.

“We look at addiction as something that involves someone we see on the street,” says Lorne Hildebrand, EDGEWOOD’s Executive Director, “and in that misconception we miss many people throughout society struggling with a treatable disease. Families, in particular, often feel they have nowhere to turn.”

Recognized as one of Canada’s pre-eminent private, addiction treatment providers, EDGEWOOD Treatment Center in Nanaimo has helped thousands of people and their families reclaim healthy lives, free from addiction.

Now these professional services and quality

of care are coming to Victoria.

Opening in May 2012 EDGEWOOD’s newest satellite office, EDGEWOOD Victoria Addiction Services, provides outpatient services for those who may not need the full services of an addiction treatment facility, but who suspect they may have a problem with substance. “We want people to feel comfortable,” continues Hildebrand. “If we think we can help, we will tell you; if we think there’s someone that can help you better—we’ll tell you that too.”

Best health outcomes for addiction come with early intervention, referral to appropriate treatment and follow-up visits ensuring adherence to an identified continuing care plan. By providing individuals and their families a continuum of care that includes: pre-assessments, family education, intervention services and treatment referrals as well as post-treatment services addressing recovery issues such as drug monitoring, relapse prevention, re-intervention (if required) and referrals for co-occurring disorders, EDGEWOOD Victoria can make the difference, and help to beat the odds.

To learn more please call EDGEWOOD Victoria Addiction Services at (250) 590-3168. EDGEWOOD Victoria is located at 102-1245 Esquimalt Road.

Collector seeks owners of tuned Car collector George Pappas was just a kid living in Vancouver’s Main Street neighborhood when he saw his first Cheetah. The specially badged 1968 Pontiac ALYN EDWARDS Beaumont Sport Deluxe CLASSIC with a huge 427-cubicRIDES inch engine and fourspeed transmission was in for service at Jim Pattison Pontiac Buick. George’s older brother tried to get his dad to buy it and trade in his more sedate 307-cubic-inch V8-equipped Pontiac Beaumont. But this was a customer’s car and not for sale. The-427 cubic-inch four-speed Cheetah left a huge impression on young George.

Mike Carmichael, general manager of West Vancouver’s Conroy Pontiac Buick, had noticed a new car-buying trend focused on exciting performance muscle cars. He set out to capture this market with his own dealer-built supercars.

He began to factory order Canadianonly Beaumont Sport Deluxe models (which only came with Chevrolet drivelines) and add the Cheetah package with high performance options that could make them into street or drag strip racers.

Of the approximately 50 Cheetahs built, most were equipped with 396cubic-inch engines and M20 wide ratio four-speed transmissions. But no more than 10 of these cars got the high horsepower 427-cubic-inch L72 engines

with four-speed transmissions and other performance equipment installed in the Conroy Pontiac shop.

A low number were built in 1965 with small block V8 engines. In 1966, a dozen big block Beaumont SD Cheetah cars were sold. The years 1966, 1967 and 1968 saw more than 40 big block Cheetah cars sold, some with 427-cubic-inch 450 horsepower engines.

Only three Cheetah Beaumonts are believed to have been built and sold in 1969. They were not the Sport Deluxe

model and only used the 350-cubic-inch engines. The only Cheetah ever built with an automatic transmission was one of these three. It was the Conroysponsored drag race car. Conroy had sponsored drag race cars since 1966.

Meanwhile, Nickey Chevrolet in Chicago, Baldwin Motion on Long Island, New York and Yenko Chevrolet in Canonsberg, Pennsylvania were building the new Chevrolet Camaro into super cars with 427 engines and Continued on Pg. B3

General Motors showed the company’s vision of the Chevrolet EN-V 2.0 concept at the recent Auto China 2012.

It is an evolved design of the company’s revolutionary mobility concept revealed at World Expo 2010 Shanghai.

The original EN-V (Electric NetworkedVehicle) concept was a centerpiece of the SAIC-GM Pavilion at World Expo 2010.

The two-seat electric vehicle pioneered a new automobile DNA based on the convergence of electrification and connectivity.

It was developed to show the possibilities for alleviating concerns surrounding traffic congestion, parking availability, air quality and affordability for tomorrow’s cities.

The EN-V 2.0 concept adds features that consumers demand such as in-vehicle climate control and personal storage space.

In addition, it would be capable of driving in all weather and city road conditions.

GM expects to use EN-V 2.0 prototype models in pilot studies throughout China.

The new Escape with EcoBoost engine has been certified at 6.0L/100 km making it what Ford claims is the most fuel-efficient small SUV on the market.

All-new Ford Escape with EcoBoost:

The most fuel-efficient small SUV METROLAND MEDIA WHEESTALK.COM

The new Ford Escape has been certified by the Transport Canada as the most fuelefficient small SUV with an automatic transmission.

The Escape’s 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine is certified at 6.0L/100 km – 15 per cent better than the Honda CR-V and 13 per cent better than Toyota RAV4.

All three engines in the new Escape are certified at 6.9L/100 km or better on the highway. The 2.0-litre EcoBoost, certified at 6.9L/100 km on the highway, beats the Toyota RAV4 and the Chevrolet Equinox.

Escape’s 1.6-litre EcoBoost engine – offered for the first time in North America – delivers 6.0L/100 km highway and 9.1L/100 km city and produces 178 hp and 184 lb/ft of torque, topping the Mazda CX-5 by more than 20 hp and 30 lb/ft of torque.

Those looking for maximum power coupled with solid fuel efficiency can opt for the 2.0-litre EcoBoost with 6.9L/100 km on the highway and 9.8L/100 km in the city.

The 2.0-litre EcoBoost delivers 240 hp and 270 lb/ft of torque. It is also rated at 3,500 pounds (1,500 kilograms) towing, which leads the pack for small, turbocharged SUVs. The Escape’s 2.5-litre offers 6.3L/100 km on the highway, an 11 per cent improvement over the outgoing standard engine, and 9.5L/100 km in the city.

All-New Ford Fusion features unique crush can safety feature

BMW X1: Style and efficiency

Downtown

xLine.

In addition, SE and M Sport specifications receive an increase in standard equipment.

The new BMW X1 has a new flagship model in the form of the xDrive25d, which is only available in four-wheel drive.

The 25d features a pair of turbochargers working together in sequence. The smaller of the two turbochargers features variable geometry technology and is responsible for the low rev response of the engine.

The larger turbo is concerned with higher rev output and helps the engine to produce 218 hp at 4,000rpm.

On the road this equates to a 0-100 km/h time of just 6.8 seconds and a top speed of 142 mph.

well. This protection saves the driver from costly repairs to the cooling system and horn.

At higher speeds, the crush can efficiently absorbs the impact energy by completely collapsing around itself in tighter spirals to help protect the driver and passengers inside the vehicle.

In a crash at 50 km/h, the can resembles a condensed screw due to the way it crushes.

The new shape of the 2013 Ford Fusion conceals another shapeoptimized innovation that helps keep the car and those inside it safer.

The brand-new car features two diamond square-shaped crush cans, which are hollow pieces of metal between the bumper and the front end of the vehicle structure.

The new BMW X1 now offers an even more sporty and refined take on the premium compact crossover, a market it defined at launch 2 1/2 years ago.

With revised dynamic exterior styling, detail improvements to the cabin and a new range of advanced diesel engines, the new X1 is perfectly placed to continue the sales success of the outgoing model.

Every rear-wheel drive X1 now emits less than 130g/km of CO2, and with the option of a new eightspeed automatic gearbox combined with BMW’s award-winning EfficientDynamics technologies, the new BMW X1 range is more efficient than ever before.

Customers can now also choose from two new models: Sport and

At low speeds, the crush can manages the impact energy by quickly offering resistance force due to its additional corners.

This reduces the stroke and keeps the deformation within the crush cans. This progressive collapse helps eliminate damage to the rest of the car.

The crush can and the bumper beam assembly is bolted onto the front rails making the parts easier to replace as

When involved in an accident, the crush cans collapse progressively to efficiently absorb the energy of an impact.

The diamond square-shape design is the result of what engineers call shape optimization, or the simulation of different shapes to find the right geometry to provide additional protection for the new Fusion and its passengers.

Allergies #24

are a modern epidemic

It really works! 100% natural. Try it risk free. Relief Guaranteed or Money Refunded!

Last 4 years in spring I had allergy attacks with runny nose, sore throat and headaches. Just 2 capsules Bell Allergy Relief #24 brought relief. Belinda Wilfong, 41, Hillsboro, MO For 20 years my life was miserable with sneezing, watery eyes and sinus pressure year-round on most days. I was amazed. On 3rd day all allergies were gone. It was like magic. Becky Gerber, 25, Dover, OH Golfing without allergy attacks I tried all the medications and none worked.

After taking 1 capsule in the morning I’m completely free of all symptoms. Richard Gamez, 74, San Antonio, TX God bless you I went from doctor to doctor for years with allergy sinus problems.

The medications made me still sicker. After starting Bell Allergy Relief one capsule at night I felt like born again the next morning. Therese Noto, 58, New York, NY. No need to make claims. Bell relays 100% truthful user’s free speech and gives a refund guarantee.

STRESS & ANXIETY

By Dr. C. Hammoud, M.H., Ph.D.

Recommended for its calming relief from chronic stress, anxiety, chronic fatigue, lack of motivation, inadequate feelings, compulsive disorders, eating disorders. Helps to restore adrenal balance, mental well being. True evidence (Skeptics can call these people): For about 3 years I was stressed out. After starting #66 I’ m fine. I don’t get headaches anymore caused by stress. I’m more effective at work. I’m amazed. It changed my life around.

Heartburn Reflux

By Dr. Chakib Hammoud, M.H.,PhD.

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, pasta, 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.

Ferrari a social network leader METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Ferrari is the main protagonist even on social networks.

This is confirmed by the numbers showing the brand of the Prancing Horse as the leading player in the automotive sector and the most popular in the general classification.

Last week the Facebook page passed the goal of eight million fans, and to celebrate, Ferrari commissioned a special video of the 458 Italia “drawing” the number 8,000,000 on the steering pad at the Fiorano race track, which was dedicated to every one of them.

The growth of the Google network G+ is another success for Ferrari.

Here the Prancing Horse holds first position with over half a million fans, a number which has grown tenfold in the first quarter of 2012.

But there is even more. The Ferrari brand, which has been present for a short time on one of the most important social networks in China, Weibo, has immediately turned into the most popular of its segment.

Whether it is for the road cars or the racing cars, the worldwide popularity of the brand is confirmed every day, even online.

The fans from the Prancing

Horse don’t just click on in traditional Ferrari markets such as the USA, Great Britain, Italy and Spain, but also in huge numbers in emerging countries such as India and Brazil, travelling virtually to Maranello from places as far as Tonga, Samoa and Vanuatu, as well as from places facing difficult times such as Afghanistan and Libya, or culturally different places like Iran.

The fans of racing and cars have many possibilities to directly express their enthusiasm, their opinions and, sometimes, their criticisms.

On Twitter for example, there are four different accounts -@ insideferrari for the activities of the Scuderia, @ferrariraces for the Ferrari Challenge singlemarque championship, @ insideFDA for the Ferrari Driver Academy and @ferrarimagazine for the official magazine.

The official Ferrari channels show the great determination of the Prancing Horse to maintain a direct contact with the fans all over the world.

And then there’s the website ferrari.com, with millions of visitors every month in seven languages, including Chinese and Japanese, with news from the world of Formula 1, to road cars and a section dedicated to the clients of the Prancing Horse.

The Bentley Continental GTC now features an upgraded 6.0-litre W12 engine with 567 hp and 516 lb/ft of torque.

Bentley Continental GTC 6.0 Litre W12 redesign features uncompromising quality

METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Taking cues from its 6.0-litre W12 GT coupe sibling, the Bentley Continental GTC builds on the highly successful foundation of the previous cabriolet, which premiered in 2006.

Bentley’s design and engineering teams have improved virtually every aspect of the iconic convertible with an uncompromising focus on quality.

While the original Continental GTC was elegant and understated, the sharper radii and assertive stance of the new model delivers a more contemporary and muscular presence.

Advanced manufacturing techniques produce aluminum front wings without the need for seams or welds creating the look and feel of a coach-built car.

Twenty-inch wheels are now standard with three styles of 21-inch wheel, a first for GTC, available as an option, reinforcing the distinctive, sporting stance of the new Bentley.

The four-seater luxury convertible features a new, even more spacious and sumptuous hand-crafted cabin, with softtouch leather hides, an extensive range of wood veneers, cool-touch metals and deeppile carpets.

There are 17 standard soft-touch leather hide colours with six colour split combinations, complemented by a range of seven veneers, all produced by Bentley’s talented craftsmen and women.

This compelling dynamic package is combined with a more powerful 6.0-litre, twin-turbocharged W12 engine as well as a new QuickShift transmission enabling faster gear changes than ever before.

Power output is raised to 567 hp and the famed Bentley “wave of torque” has been increased to 516 lb/ft.
