Utility fee hikes better way to pay for treatment, mayors agree Victoria hopes region will adopt its strategy of basing taxpayers’ portion on overall water usage Daniel Palmer News staff

Victoria Mayor Dean Fortin has an answer for city taxpayers wondering how much they’ll have to shell out for sewage treatment.

“The average single family in the City of Victoria will pay about $360 (more) a year,” he said Wednesday.

Victoria, responsible for 23 per cent of the Capital Regional District’s share of the $782-million project, began collecting sewage fees based on water consumption in 2011, in anticipation of the expenditure.

Local governments in Greater Victoria will soon begin cost-sharing negotiations around paying the $281-million portion of the most expensive capital expenditure project in the region’s history. The seven affected municipalities need to agree on a funding model before work can begin.

The secondary sewage treatment program is set to begin development in early 2013

and will end the dumping of screened raw sewage into the Strait of Juan de Fuca.

Saanich Mayor Frank Leonard said paying for regional sewage treatment through property tax increases – one option up for discussion – may be unfair to residents who minimize their wastewater.

“If we go to the property tax model, then the University of Victoria and the two Camosun Colleges wouldn’t pay their share,” Leonard said.

By linking the increased fee to water utilities, properties with septic systems would also be exempted from paying for sewage services they don’t use, Leonard said.

Fortin agreed it would be a more equitable system than linking fees to property tax.

On Monday, the federal and provincial governments announced commitments of $253 million and $248 million, respectively, for the project.

NEW PHILANTHROPIC FRONTIER: City considers asking for donations toward capital projects Roszan Holmen News staff

Call it a sign of the times.

Victoria residents will soon have the opportunity to make a donation toward their city’s capital projects, if a new legacy fund gets the green light from city council.

While endowment funds are typically directed to a social service or centre for the arts, the proposed

Shape Your Future Legacy Fund will direct citizen donations to such projects as bike lanes, playgrounds or bus shelters.

“In the long term we could use this fund to build a new swimming pool, or do anything that citizens want to do,” said Coun. Lisa Helps.

She was to bring the idea to council’s governance and priorities committee meeting yesterday (July 19), after the News’ deadline.

At a time when the city faces an infrastructure deficit of approximately $500 million, the fund could help the city achieve the types of things that improve quality of life, freeing up money to deal with necessary infrastructure projects, such as sewers and roads.

Douglas vs. Blanshard: It’s clear who was more powerful in our city’s earliest days, despite the former being passed over as the Island’s first colonial governor

The City of Victoria is hosting tons of fun activities to celebrate its 150th birthday. • History2Life Family Festival, July 29 Go back in history with a time-travel scavenger hunt.

W

hen it comes to street and landmark names in Victoria, it’s clear who carried the most sway.

James Douglas’ name appears on everything from the city’s main thoroughfare to a neighbourhood, the fringe of which his first home was built on the current site of the Royal B.C. Museum, as well as Mount Douglas (formerly known as Cedar Hill) and the fir trees so prevalent in the Pacific Northwest.

His name was previously on the body of water known as James Bay – we call it the Inner Harbour today – which extended nearly to the Church of Our Lord at Humboldt and Blanshard streets, until the section east of Government Street was filled in to build the Empress Hotel and Crystal Garden.

Then there’s his namesake elementary school in the heart of the Fairfield neighbourhood, named for Douglas’ original acreage, known in Hudson’s Bay Company settlement parlance as a “farm.�

Danda Humphries, author of the book series On the Street Where You Live, likes to compare Douglas, the city’s founder and chief factor for the HBC’s Fort Victoria, with Richard Blanshard, the first colonial governor of Vancouver Island.

Douglas was a lifelong company man, Humphries says, a person who worked his way up the ladder and was entrusted with establishing a trading post on the southern tip of the island. So, when the position of governor came up in 1849, she says, “Douglas assumed he was going to get the job.�

To avoid any potential conflict Courtesy B.C.

He lasted less than two years had served in the army. here before returning to England.

At that point, Douglas was in control of virtually everything concerning the fledgling settlement and further afield, and he apparently made Blanshard’s life miserable. The chief factor did, however, have a home built for his rival on the current

The pathway between the structures became known as Government Street. It was eventually extended southward to the waterfront, past Douglas’ home, with the development of the city’s first residential neighbourhood, the aforementioned James Bay. Blanshard lasted less than two years on the job before heading back to England, where he ultimately retired to his family estate known, ironically, as Fairfield.

When looking at the substantiveness of the region’s two main thoroughfares today, Humphries says, Blanshard Street ends at the Uptown development, while “Douglas goes right through town and all across the country� as part of the TransCanada Highway.

Blanshard’s name is on a Ministry of Health building at Pandora Avenue and Blanshard Street. But aside from the street that becomes the Pat Bay Highway, he is largely forgotten in the history of Victoria.

Are you the type to save a life?

Blood is used every day to treat patients with bleeding disorders, individuals undergoing surgery, transplant recipients, cancer patients, newborn babies, trauma patients such as motor collision victims and many others.

It takes many donors to save a life. Together, we can improve or save the life of a hospital patient so they can return home to their family and friends.

Together, we can help someone in our community recover from a life-threatening accident or illness.

There are plenty of opportunities to donate this summer. It only takes about an hour to donate and chances are there is a blood donor clinic nearby.

Book an appointment online today at www.blood.ca or 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). ).

How many donors does it take to save a life?

Up to 50 donors a week to help someone in a car accident Up to 8 donors a week to help someone with leukemia Up to 2 donors to help someone who needs brain surgery Up to 5 donors to save someone who needs cardiovascular surgery Up to 2 to 8 donors to help someone with internal bleeding Up to 2 donors a day to help someone undergoing a bone marrow transplant Up to 4 donors a month to help someone with A plastic Anemia Up to 2 donors for a hip replacement

It takes many donors to save a life. dono Ca Canadian Blood Serv Services is asking communities across tthe country to join ttogether this summer under the theme Rally Together to Save Lives.

Vancouver Island residents have come ttogether time and again to support others in need.

Because blood has a short shelf life, Canadian Blood Services is in constant need of all blood types. Rallying together to donate blood can help ensure an adequate supply is available.

“During the summer months, donors change ttheir routines, take vacations and are involved with outdoor activities, so donating blood is not always top of mind,” says Michelle Stratford, event specialist with Canadian Blood Services, B.C. and Yukon.

“But the need for blood does not take a summer vacation. There are still hospital patients requiring transfusions of blood products for surgeries, cancer treatments and other procedures. Greater Victoria donors can save lives this summer and we hope they’ll roll up their sleeves to help.”

As the highways fill with summer vacationers, so too does the likelihood that accidents will occur. With the help of blood, many victims will survive.

“Every donor who books and keeps an appointment this summer will provide the additional supply of blood products needed for hospital patients,” says Stratford.

“Spend an hour with us this summer. Book an appointment today and don’t hesitate to bring a friend or family member to donate with you.”

Esquimalt area residents will have an opportunity to give blood July 31 and August 1 at the CFB Esquimalt c l i n i c .

With base personnel on vacation or deployed on operations, the clinic has several appointments it would like to fill.

Stratford says because the clinic is located on the base, many locals aren’t aware that they can attend.

“The clinic isn’t just for military personnel.

We’d really like to see local residents come out to help ‘top-up’ the blood supply. We have frequent blood donor clinics throughout Greater Victoria to make it convenient for you to donate no matter where you work or live.”

For more information, contact Michelle Stratford, Canad Canadian Blood Services at 250-405-4307.

Donating for the first time?

OPTIONS FOR VOLUNTEERS

First time blood donors often have questions or concerns about eligibility and what to expect before, during, and after they give. They’re often surprised how easy it is to donate blood and that it only takes about an hour.

Donating blood can be a bit unnerving at first, but donors ease into it once they’re sitting comfortably in a chair beside other donors doing the same thing. Giving blood for the first time is a great conversation starter not to mention one of the most direct ways to help someone.

Some donors rally their friends and family to visit a local blood donor clinic as a group.

It gives them a chance to socialize and catch up, and also makes the experience of helping to save a life even more memorable.

For eligibility or clinic information, to speak to a nurse or to book an appointment, call allll 1 888 2 DONATE (1-888-236-6283). Information is also available online at www.blood.ca

Volunteers play an important role in ensuring a strong blood system for Canadians. The supply of blood and blood products to patients in Canadian hospitals depends on the voluntary donations made by healthy people.

Canadian Blood Services is always searching for volunteers to work at blood donor clinics, to help educate their communities on the need for blood, and to recruit blood donors. For more or mo m r details visit www.blood.ca/volunteers rs

Arguing land claims in court

Natalie North News staff

As the Esquimalt and Songhees First Nations prepare to take on senior level governments over compensation for the alleged loss of village land in Cadboro Bay 160 years ago, local experts in ethnology and archaeology are preparing to be called on in the case.

Grant Keddie, curator of archaeology at the Royal B.C. Museum, testified in a 2006 B.C. Supreme Court battle over the land on which the legislature sits, which ended in a $31.5million out-of-court settlement for the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations.

While he can’t comment on the specifics of the current case, he knows what to expect during hearings that hinge on prephotographic evidence: ethnographic information, historic documents, drawings, maps and oral histories.

“How do you decide whose information is correct and whose

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, July 20, 2012

Community fund launches with fanfare Roszan Holmen News staff

It started in May 2011 with a call to action by Gov.-Gen. David Johnston to community foundations across the country.

He challenged the 183 organizations to launch a “Smart and Caring Community Fund.”

“We thought that would be neat for us,” said Victoria Foundation CEO Sandra Richardson.

The foundation board committed $200,000 in matching contributions to the new fund, and in so doing became one of the first to heed Johnston’s call.

To help launch the fund, the governor general was due in

Victoria on Thursday, after the News’ deadline.

“I’m pleased that the Community Foundations of Canada is rising up to my challenge of building a smart and caring nation for our country’s 150th anniversary in 2017 by launching Smart & Caring Community Funds across the country, ” Johnston said in a prepared statement.

Victoria’s new fund has two components.

First, a physical literacy program to be offered through the Cridge Centre will teach fundamental physical skills to children aged three to 10.

“It’s throwing, it’s jumping, it’s moving,” Richardson said.

It also teaches teamwork skills and knowledge about healthy eating.

Second, the Victoria Foundation will create 13 endowment funds for Vancouver Island charities and contribute $7,500 in matching funds towards each endowment.

This kind of fund is enticing to charities’ donor base, Richardson said.

“It shows the organization as establishing something for the future, for their long-term sustainability.”

To date, the Smart and Caring Community Fund has received $150,000 in donations. rholmen@vicnews.com

Crews work on improvements to Fisherman’s Wharf Park last month. Capital projects that improve quality of life, such as parks and playgrounds have traditionally been funded by tax dollars. A proposed legacy fund could shift the onus to donations by people who want to take ownership of their community.

Legacy fund promotes community ownership Continued from Page A1

If council approves the fund – alongside a $7,500 contribution – it would likely be the first in Canada. It could prove to be the new frontier of philanthropy as municipalities across North America find creative ways to deal with crumbling infrastructure and declining revenues.

Whether Victoria residents will have an appetite to donate is another question. Taxpayers have come to expect their tax dollars will pay for the types of projects that this legacy fund targets.

“It may very well have some appeal, but it’s hard to say,” said Sandra Richardson, CEO of the Victoria Foundation. “It’s per-

haps not as appealing (as other endowment funds), but if you think about all the wonderful things that are in the city and if people think ‘my goodness, the city can’t afford to do this, maybe if I left something of my estate, the Crystal Pool could continue to exist.’”

When Richardson first heard of the idea, she called Helps and offered to partner with the city to manage the fund.

The Victoria Foundation has offered $7,500 on condition the city matches the contribution.

People could make a small monthly donation, or make a large one-time donation, Helps said.

Crystal Pool, she pointed out, was built thanks to a legacy from

the McPherson family. Today, the pool is nearing the end of its serviceable life, but the city has no funds allocated to replace the facility. A new campaign through the Legacy Fund could put donations to work to build its replacement.

Embracing this type of fund will take an attitude of ownership, said Richardson.

“It should be more about ‘If this is our community, how do we keep it to be this beautiful, vibrant community?’ Funding in all three government sectors has really been pushed back, so it does cause people to say, ‘how can we work differently?’ It will be quite interesting to see the result of this.” rholmen@vicnews.com

Summer is here again, and you’ll probably find you’re using the car more, for going on road trips, or camping or a day jaunt to your favourite beach.

Naturally, items like sunglasses, camping gear, shopping bags and cell phones for example also find their way into your vehicle. But what happens when you get back to your car from a day of fun and find the window shattered, the door forced and items are missing.

If this happens, what’s covered by car insurance and what is not?

While your car insurance covers many things, it usually does not extend to loss of your personal contents in the car. In addition to losing your personal property, a break-in can leave you with the hassle and expense of fixing damages such as broken window glass, typical with a break-in.

If you claim against your car insurance, you’ll be paying the Comprehensive deductible.

But if personal items have been stolen from your vehicle, your deductibles may not end there.

Goods such as cameras, sporting equipment and clothing are usually covered under your home insurance policy, not your car insurance.

You would be required to make two separate claims, one on your car insurance and the other on your home insurance.

Typical deductibles on car insurance can range from $300 to $500, while $500 is the standard on home insurance.

A car break in can cost you, the

insured, $1,000 in deductibles and the hassle of making two separate claims.

The good news is that there are now some optional car insurance policies offering unique solutions, like the Smash and Grab coverage that can be added to BCAA’s Optional Car Insurance. The Smash and Grab coverage waives the glass deductible on all glass claims and covers your personal property up to $500, again with no deductible.

Of course, prevention is always better than cure, so try and avoid making yourself an easy target by giving thieves a reason to break into your car.

Keep valuable items hidden from view, or better yet keep them locked up in the trunk when you’re away from your car. You should also always ensure you lock the doors and roll up all the windows before you leave.

The next time your car insurance is up for renewal, speak to a BCAA Car Insurance specialist. They’ll assess your needs and help find the options that are right for you.

Piano project brings people together Don Descoteau News staff

A group of cyclists walking their bikes approach the intersection of Belleville and Government streets.

Upon spotting a piano sitting on the sidewalk, they break into grins.

Prompted by his friends and a photographer, one member of the party, visiting from Germany, parks his bike and sits down on the piano bench.

“But I really don’t know how to play,” he says, still smiling.

After playing a few chords, he and the happy party move on, leaving the upright piano available for a young girl to play and be photographed by her companion.

It’s just the kind of musical interaction hoped for by Alastair Kierulf, 16, the instigator of the Make Me Sing project, which runs through Sunday (July 22) .

The Fernwood resident and student at Reynolds secondary arranged to have two donated upright pianos placed securely at the busy Inner Harbour location and in the plaza at Government and Fisgard streets, beside the Capital Regional District building.

The idea? To bring people together to experience the joy of music, regardless of the playing ability of those who participate.

“A piano is a pretty easy instrument to play – you can hit a key and make a sound,” says Kierulf, who has completed his Grade 8 piano level at

Olaf Emmerich, visiting from Germany, tickles the ivories on a piano set up at the corner of Government and Belleville streets.

Passersby are invited to play this piano, along with another placed in the plaza at Fisgard and Government streets, as part of an interactive music initiative called Make Me Sing.

Don Descoteau/News staff

the Victoria Conservatory of Music.

“It creates this place of impromptu performance, either in a group or solo situation.”

His inspiration for the project was an initiative called Play Me, I’m Yours, which he discovered outside St. Paul’s Cathedral in London during a family vacation in 2010. The piano placed there – one of 22 such instruments around the city – attracted numerous passersby, who played it spontaneously.

“It was just so amazing to see what a piano sitting out in the street could do,” Kierulf says.

Noting that the original intention of Play Me I’m Yours was to get people interacting who might not otherwise do so, he says the Victoria project seems to be achieving his goal to see people engage with the pianos and each other.

As Kierulf and his brother were playing the piano in Chinatown earlier this week, a woman approached them. Unaware of Kierulf’s involvement with the project, she told him that she doesn’t play anymore, but thought having a community piano outdoors was a good idea.

“It definitely brings people

together,” he said. “Even if one person plays the piano and three people are listening, that’s four people who were brought together.”

Kierulf, who has handled the duties of covering the pianos up each night and uncovering them in the mornings, is going on holiday soon, thus the relatively short duration of the project.

The pianos will go back into storage, but he plans to have them out for longer next year.

“This gives people a little taste of this project.” editor@vicnews.com

Sally Ann’s workhorse bus needs replacing Daniel Palmer News staff

The iconic Salvation Army Beacon Bus is in need of an upgrade.

The stalwart vehicle has been helping volunteers provide meals, clothing and compassion to emergency workers and community members for the past 15 years.

But the organization needs to raise $100,000 to buy a replacement van and retrofit it with a full kitchen by the end of the year.

“The loss of services provided by the Beacon Bus would create a significant gap in our local emergency

The event, which starts at 6:30 p.m. with a barbecue – admission is by donation – is organized by the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada and raises money for blood cancer research.

It also provides participants with the opportunity to sign up for September’s Light the Night Walk.

The screen will be set up in parking lot 10 near Gordon Head and Cedar Hill Cross roads, so don’t forget a low-rise lawn chair or pillow.

In addition to Doc Brown and Marty McFly on the big screen at dusk, expect to see outdoor games and activities.

There will also be prizes for the bestdressed era costume, so try to think outside the box: no puffy vests with jean jackets. dpalmer@vicnews.com

In addition to assisting fire, police

It is stocked at all times with food, clothing, blankets and other necessary items enabling it to be on call 24-7.

Each Friday, the Beacon Bus feeds between 30 and 60 people in front of the Blanshard Community Centre and hands out donated groceries to families in need.

“There’s a lot of emotional stories that come when we do respond to emergencies,” said Kyla Ferns, special projects officer.

OUR VIEW

Tsunami cleanup readiness crucial Coastal authorities in B.C., including those in the Capital Region, have long been putting together tsunami and earthquake preparedness plans.

But the need is growing greater for the three levels of government to have a definite plan in place to deal with potentially environmentally dangerous debris from last year’s earthquake and tsunami in Japan washing up on B.C. coastlines.

Items ripped apart by the powerful waves, much of them covered with sea life that could threaten native species, have for months been arriving on the western shorelines of Vancouver Island and Haida Gwaii. Residents and others concerned about threats to the pristine nature of coastal areas have been doing their best to remove the material.

No one knows, given the unpredictable nature of ocean currents, just how much flotsam will reach B.C. shores in the coming months and years. But enough has arrived already to inform provincial and federal authorities of the extent of the problem.

The province is in a “fact-gathering stage” on the issue, said Environment Minister Terry Lake, who last week toured Haida Gwaii. His comments that any cleanup plan must be a joint effort between local, provincial and federal governments and First Nations make sense, but indicate the province is not willing to take the lead on tackling this problem.

When a Harley-Davidson motorcycle in a packing crate washed up on a Haida Gwaii beach in April, and its owner, who had lost three family members and his home in the disaster, was located, it was a bittersweet story.

But the washing ashore of a 20-metre concrete and steel dock in Oregon on June 6 was a further sign that the worst is likely yet to come.

This week’s shockingly low cleanup grant of $50,000 from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, for each of the five states affected, shows how low this issue is on that government’s priority list.

We hope our federal government, already showing a similar lack of respect for the environment through budget cuts, does not take a similar tack by downplaying this serious issue.

reasonable enough, but their effect may yet be road blocks to a federal financial contribution.

Consider the requirement for Treasury Board approval. The role of Treasury Board is to ensure “efficiency, effectiveness, and ongoing value for money.”

Treasury Board approval will require a detailed cost/benefit analysis of the project, a detailed examination of the disadvantages and advantages of the project and an evaluation of alternative ways of achieving the objectives by some other means – including the existing natural system that is in place today.

If Treasury Board does its usual thorough job, the CRD plan is unlikely to pass the test.

No detailed cost/benefit analysis for example, has yet been done. If Treasury Board experts do one, the results are unlikely to favour what the CRD is proposing.

The second off-ramp that could derail the federal financial contribution is the federal environmental assessment. The

CRD has declared that the current system is detrimental to our local waters and the proposed system will improve the quality of the local marine environment. But the claim is just that, a claim.

It has not been supported by independent studies, the majority of which say exactly the opposite.

Further, it is contradicted by 10 University of Victoria experts in the fields of oceanography, marine biology and engineering, who took the unusual step of signing a letter pointing out that on balance, there are no net environmental benefits from the proposal.

Equally damaging to the CRD case is that six current and former public health officers for the area have publicly pointed out that in their expert judgment, there are, on balance, no net health benefits from the proposal.

In fact, since details of the plan have been put forward, it has become clear that the greenhouse gas impact of the proposal is substantial, and other environmental and even health

impacts are more significant than anticipated. Once again, on environmental and health grounds, the current system appears to be substantially superior to what is being proposed, a fact that a serious federal environmental impact assessment will almost certainly demonstrate.

Of course, the federal cabinet could change the rules yet again, and provide the money regardless of environmental impact or of a cost/benefit analysis. But don’t count on it.

At present, the federal contribution to the CRD’s proposed on-land wastewater treatment system appears a long way from being in the bank.

Former Victoria MP David Anderson served for 10 years in the federal cabinet of Jean Chrétien, when he was a member of Treasury Board and the minister responsible for the Environmental Assessment Agency. He was also the minister responsible for the Infrastructure Program in British Columbia.

LETTERS Affluent effluent too rich for Colwood majority It about time Colwood city council takes a courageous stand and protects residents from this sewage treatment funding idiocy initiated by the Friends of Mr Floatie.

Currently, the majority of Colwood ratepayers are wholly responsible for our own sewage treatment.

We own, operate and maintain highly efficient septic systems, and we’ll do so well into the foreseeable future.

Why anyone in their right mind would hold the opinion that septic system owners should face a potentially massive tax increase to support a system that we will never be connected to is staggering.

Coun. Judith Cullington says, “(We’ll) look at opportunities for smaller, localized treatment plants and kind of address new development as it comes on board.

That’s certainly not a done decision, but that’s certainly what we heard from people.”

My question to Cullington, why isn’t this a done decision?

Let the sewage system users and future developers pay for any projected increase in capacity.

It’s their issue. Their affluent effluent is far too rich for the rest of us.

Discharging sewage to sea still the CRD’s best option Re: Government funds in, sewage project moving ahead (News, July 18) So the funds have been found to perpetrate the crime.

Building a land-based sewage treatment

plant is nothing less, for it uses a law intended to protect the environment to almost certainly do it harm.

There is no point in the scientists and medical health officers devoting their lives to science and medicine; more note is taken of economists.

Fifty years of research on three continents is being ignored, but it is the trashing of lives that is most sickening.

The cost-benefit is being ignored.

How many lives could be saved in medicine, or how much benefit could be accrued in education with the use of upwards of a billion dollars?

I finish with one of many quotes from my book, Victoria’s Sewage Circus. UK Royal Commission on environmental pollution, 1984: “With well-designed sewage outfalls, we believe that discharge to the sea is not only acceptable, but in cases environmentally preferable.”

Nowhere are conditions better than here.

Sewage resource recovery cancels out greenhouse gases Re: Victoria braces for the big flush (Our View, July 18) Your view totally misses the most important issue that an additional, landbased sewage treatment plant is just not needed in Victoria.

Several scientists are rightfully skeptical that this sewage treatment plant will provide any measurable improvement in the health of Juan de Fuca Strait.

Such a land-based plant, besides costing so much to build and operate, is only

attempting resource recovery because a land-based sewage treatment produces thousands of tonnes of greenhouse gases and sewage sludge – which is not produced by our current marine-based system.

Spending even more taxpayer funds to try to reduce the impact of the greenhouse gases and sludge is just not a sustainable approach, when our marine environment can perform its current ecological service as marine treatment of sewage very adequately.

Lack of kudos for Clark telling from retiring MLA Re: MLA Murray Coell’s retirement After 16 years of service in the provincial legislature, Murray Coell has decided to retire on his gold-plated pension of approximately $89,000 per year.

During his retirement interview, he described his boss, Premier Christy Clark, as a person who is, “full of life and full of

energy and a great campaigner.”

I found it unusual that he didn’t feel it was necessary to expand on her leadership qualities and capabilities as leader of the Liberal Party and premier of our province. He probably has his own reasons.

Most politicians claim they are retiring so they will be able to spend “more time with their families.”

We all know it’s for the “the kids” and for “all the families” in the province, don’t we?

Treatment funding the topic of upcoming discussions Continued from Page A1

At the same time, any cost overruns will fall to local governments.

The province plans to withhold its portion of the funding until the project is near completion in 2018.

CRD spokesman Andy Orr said the municipalities of Victoria, Saanich, Esquimalt, Oak Bay, View Royal, Colwood and Langford will likely agree on a funding model based on how much wastewater

they produce and the age of their sewage infrastructure. “So newer developments, like Langford and Colwood, may well have cheaper costs,� he said.

The sewage treatment project is comprised of three major elements – a wastewater treatment plant at McLoughlin Point in Esquimalt, piping system upgrades and a biosolids energy centre proposed for the Hartland landfill in Saanich.

The biosolids centre will be built as a private-public partnership (P3), which allows private

companies to build and operate a facility, but also bear responsibility for any cost overruns.

Esquimalt Mayor Barb Desjardins, who opposes the installation of the wastewater treatment facility at McLoughlin Point, said the CRD should have made the entire project a P3. “I really have a concern that we’re stepping beyond our bounds as local government. We shouldn’t be doing what private business can do,� she said.

The CRD already manages a

wastewater treatment facility on the Saanich Peninsula for Central Saanich, North Saanich and Sidney.

Negotiations between municipalities for a funding model are expected to take place over the coming months and will include public input, Leonard said.

The CRD’s next step will be to hire a project manager and pass

MEND Ryder Hesjedal recovers from Tour de France crash for a run at Olympic gold Travis Paterson News staff

C

rashes won’t be the end of Ryder Hesjedal. The great Canadian cyclist may be out of the Tour de France, but that’s all behind him now.

With the Olympics looming, Hesjedal is still recovering from a brutal fall during Stage 6 that forced him to withdraw from the Tour on July 6.

It’s a balance of rest, precaution and training, as Hesjedal completes a quick turnaround to ready himself for the London Olympics, where he’ll represent Canada in the 250-kilometre road race on July 28 and in the 44-km time trial on Aug. 1.

The 2012 Giro d’Italia winner is eyeing a podium finish in the Olympics, and he’s expected to improve on his 2008 results – 16th in the time trial and 54th in the road race. Hesjedal wore the maple leaf at the 2004 Games as a mountain biker but didn’t complete the race due to a flat tire.

Even before he won the Giro in May, Hesjedal said he wanted to represent Canada in the Olympics, a statement he reiterated after the fateful July 6 crash.

“It’s very disappointing to leave the (Tour de France) that way … I was in good form and feeling comfortable,” said Hesjedal, a native of the West Shore. “I’ll keep working with the medical staff on my recovery, and re-focus everything on the Olympics.”

Until the crash, Hesjedal was in the hunt for the Tour lead, and had avoided the crashes and pile-ups that set him back in the 2011 Tour. But the bad luck returned.

Regardless, Hesjedal now moves from Tour contender to a medal hopeful at the Olympics.

Instead of worrying about the mighty Alps, Hesjedal is eyeing up the 2.5-km, 4.9-per-cent incline of Zig Zag Road, the most challenging section of London’s road course. To challenge riders, Zig Zag will be done repetitively, part of the 15-km Box Hill loop. Cyclists will bike 70-km one way to the entrance of the Box Hill loop and complete it nine times, and then do a one-way, 42-km route back into London. sports@vicnews.com

Neighbours for Change will hold its annual block party on Sunday (July 22), from 2 to 5 p.m. outside the Fernwood Inn on Gladstone Street at Fernwood Road.

It commemorates Roger Colwill, who, until his death in 2007, was a strong community organizer and environmental advocate.

“My dad just loved doing stuff like this, he loved helping out anything to do with community, anything that was green,” said Sarah Colwill, who organizes the block party with friend Tara Zajac.

The all-ages event will feature a farmers’ market, children’s art area, dunk tank and food vendors.

Music acts Tres Grandes and Tyler Harvey will also perform.

Neighbours for Change is the primary fundraiser for the Roger Colwill Fund for the Environment, which funds community-based sustainability initiatives.

Currently, Colwill and Zajac are working with the Fernwood Neighbourhood Resource Group, design firm Landeca and the Belfry Theatre on building a bus shelter with a green roof on Fernwood Road.

“We’re making it partially out of reclaimed materials and we’re putting a green roof with native plants on top,” Colwill said.

A silent auction will be held and includes fishing charters, bikes and signed Robert Bateman prints.

Making A Difference Tracey Depass with kids Koen, Kyla and Teagan.

Juggling life successfully

Returning to work: the pros and cons Nine-year-old Kyla mixes pizza dough and meets Chris’s Pizza customers as she processes their debit payments. Her six-year-old sister Teagan delights in cleaning duties, or her “glove work,” while twin brother Koen folds pizza boxes and takes out the laundry, despite his tendency to play a little more than his sisters.

Tracey Depass’s kids, clad in matching T-shirts and pint-sized aprons, each have their duties that contribute to the pizza shop’s smooth operation – the ideal outcome of a difÅcult decision Depass made four-and-a-half

years ago.

Depass is a part of the 141,012 female business owners counted in B.C. in 2010, 36 per cent of all business owners in the province.

In 2007, the Colwood resident was on maternity leave from an accounting position downtown after having given birth to twins.

Depass, who already had threeyear-old Kyla with her husband, Corey, and didn’t have any trouble Ånding care for her, was suddenly facing some massive challenges when she began looking for care for infants Teagan and Koen.

“With three kids under four, I was looking at close to $2,000 per

month in child care, apart from the fact that I couldn’t even Ånd a place to take all three of them and I didn’t want to split my kids up,” Depass said. “I was completely naive, I guess. The cost: oh my God. The availability: oh my God. What are we going to do? I was totally taken by surprise.”

Belinda Macey, program coordinator at Victoria-based Child Care Resource & Referral suggests parents begin their search for child care within the Årst three months of their maternity leave to avoid the kind of panic families such as the Depasses can encounter after waiting too long to start looking.

“Since the early ’90s, baby care has always been difÅcult to secure,” Maceyy said. “There aren’t ’ any guarantees.”

After the shock subsided, Depass thought back to the three years she had spent working at Chris’s Pizza in Langford while she studied accounting at Camosun College. Coincidentally, Chris Hanbley, owner of the pizza establishment, had also listed his business for sale at that time.

With Corey, who works in car audio and Ånishes his day by

Parenting & Sex victoria

Oh, to be ‘A Good Mother’ Recently, I stumbled across a name that I’ll forever associate with my eternal, often misguided, attempts to be “A Good Q SUSAN LUNDY Mother.”

FEATURE WRITER Chatting on a podcast, Meg Hickling sounded innocuous enough – even pleasant and well-informed. But as an authority on sex education, she sent me into a parenting frenzy when her Årst book, Speaking of Sex, hit the shelves.

Her assertion that children should know reproductive details by the time they attend school hammered me with horror.

My Åve-year-old daughter, Danica, was in kindergarten, blissfully believing The Garden Metaphor. It wasn’t quite how I’d planned it. I intended to promote early and open sex education for my kids. This meant that when Danica began asking reproductive questions at age two, I would calmly outline age-appropriate details. I would raise sexually healthy children.

Instead, when the question arose, I used The Garden Metaphor: “Oh, the daddy plants a seed in the mommy and the baby grows in her tummy.” It worked. It was Åne.

(Although she gave a rather curious look to the zucchini seeds her father brought home one day.)

Reading Meg Hickling, of course, I understood I had failed. So I set out to be “A Good Mother.” I read, re-read and memorized Hickling’s spiel. I developed a plan to pick up Danica from school, take her out for lunch and then, after a leisurely, homey conversation, get down to business.

However, the car had barely left the school driveway when I blurted out, “Danica, would you like to learn some science?”

I went through the process, using all the correct names, edging through the tougher stuff, and giving the details in as few words as possible. She was quiet for a moment, and then asked if that was the only way to make babies.

“Weeell, no,” I said, perking up. I then launched into an animated explanation of artiÅcial insemination. It was over. I had done it. I was “A Good Mother.”

Then she said, “Momma, can I ask you an important question?” I gripped the steering wheel. Oh no, I thought, here it comes. It’s going to be awful.

“Why does a car die when the battery dies? Is the battery like a heart?”

(I later overheard Danica telling her younger sister, Sierra, that they could stay together all their lives and have babies by going to see a special doctor in Vancouver.)

Sierra was four before she popped the question. I was lying in bed beside her and thought she had already dozed off. “How are babies made?”

Famıly ENTER TO WIN A Family Monkido® Aerial Adventure

Things are much easier the second time around. It was dark and cozy and I was an old pro at this. I answered the question and was feeling pretty good about it. She sighed and rolled over. Then came a drowsy little voice: “When will I grow the penis and when will it fall off again?”

Okay. So practice doesn’t always make A Good Mother.

VICTORIA NEWS - Friday, July 20, 2012

Victoria Family The Big Issue continued from 15 to assisting women grow business in B.C. through loans and professional guidance.

The centre provided a loan for Depass, and by early 2008 she bought Chris’s Pizza.

After two start-up years marked by some “really bad” Ånancial times – not knowing whether she would take home a paycheque after covering expenses – the challenges have lessened, yet still exist.

“There are other stresses to owning your own business. I never really have a whole day off. And I do my own books, so I’m constantly trying to squeeze hours in here and there to keep up with the accounting side of it. If somebody calls in sick, and people are on holidays, I’ve got to go in for extra shifts, but having the Æexibility of getting to take my kids with me and not having to worry about who’s going to watch them – it’s very Æexible and convenient.”

“With maternity leave at 12 months, many women are getting creative and using this time to reinvent themselves,” said Cecilia Mkondiwa, manager of loans and business advisory services for the Women’s Enterprise Centre in Victoria. “By the end of 12 months many women Ånd that going back to work is not worth it after factoring in the high daycare costs and the time they will have to spend away from their children.”

In the four years since Depass bought the business, she has been able to involve herself in her children’s school activities and parent groups, while her kids have grown and taken on responsibilities at Chris’s Pizza. And while Kyla would like to follow her mom’s lead in the pizza business, Depass is happy to have her empowered by

the experience and eventually move on to higher education.

“We have no child care costs and our kids were at home with their parents, which is important to us,” Depass said. “The thought of the daycare – having to be up at 5:30 in the morning to get three kids up and dressed and lunches and breakfast and off to a daycare facility and then downtown for work at 8:30 in the morning before having to do the same thing again (at the end of the day) – it was a scary thought.”

Back at Child Care Resource & Referral, Macey recommends parents not only start early in their search for care, but that they also delve deep and check out eight to 10 potential settings. Some places, such as the University of Victoria Child Care Services, have about a two-year wait list. Touch base with the care provider periodically throughout the wait to conÅrm your position without being too pushy, she said.

“You don’t want to be a pest, but you do want to be starting a communication – then keeping that communication going,” Macey said. “You need to understand that it’s going to be a job (to Ånd care).”

While the cost of child care is unmanageable for many families, it hasn’t gone up much over the last few years.

Annual increases are on average about $25 per month, with the average rates for infant care in Greater Victoria ranging from $780 to $1,027 per child per month.

HOT TICKET Mamma Mia!

Mamma Mia! is the ultimate feel-good show that has audiences coming back again and again to relive the thrill. An enchanting tale of love, laughter and friendship, Mamma Mia! is a musical celebration at the Royal Theatre July 31 to Aug. 5. Tickets available online at rmts.bc.ca or call the box office at 250-386-6121.

Paint-In hits quarter-century mark Moss Street event attracts more than 160 artists to the pavement Daniel Palmer News staff

Mary-ellen Threadkell prefers not to be in the spotlight.

As assistant director of advancement at the Greater Victoria Art Gallery, she is a graceful presence, apart from the non-descript, twoby-four piece of pinewood she has tucked under her arm. Along the spine of the wood is a chronology of years past that correspond to miniature weather drawings, laid out like a primitive iPhone app.

“It’s superstition. I say that the Paint-In will not be rained out,” she explains before rapping gently on the wood.

Her fastidiousness as co-ordinator for the TD Art Gallery Paint-In the past 12 years seems to have worked, as each drawing displays a shining sun.

“Last year, I was sorely tested. At 10 minutes before opening, somebody turned off the tap. But it was a downpour like you rarely see here,” she said.

Now in its 25th year, the Paint-In has blossomed into an annual celebration that showcases more than 160 artists and attracts close to 35,000 visitors along the length of

Black press file photo

“A lot of people are looking for an art teacher as well, and this is an ideal place to find someone whose work really interests you,” Threadkell said. “It’s a phenomenal opportunity for artists. There’s nothing anywhere like it.”

In addition to the artists on display along Moss between Fort Street and Dallas Road, the art gallery parking lot will be packed with food and drink vendors, as well as a stage featuring Latin band Kumbia.

TD, the title sponsor, will also have a “Monster Mural,” a metres-long canvas that can be painted by all attendees.

On Saturday morning (July 21), Threadkell will be gently co-ordinating 200 volunteers, police officers and thousands of curious onlookers, but when she steps out into the warm sunshine, she’ll be sure to tap her lucky charm one last time. dpalmer@vicnews.com

Harumi Ota demonstrates pottery techniques at a past Moss Street Paint-In. Moss Street in Fairfield.

It has come a long way since its humble beginnings in the gallery’s Art Rental and Sales office, when the likes of Bill Porteous and Fleming Jorgensen put pieces up for sale.

Threadkell attended her first Paint-In in 1988 and became enthralled with the unique opportunity it presented to view artists engaged in the creative process.

“I saw Toni Onley ... painting on Dallas Road on the waterfront. He was painting about 12 watercolour pieces at the same time. He had them all taped to boards, spread out on the grass,” she says.

While many artists sell their work at the Paint-In, it’s also an ideal opportunity for artists to demystify their process and illustrate the differences between mediums, from paint to chalk to sculpting.

UK electronic artist Bonobo plays in Victoria on July 25 at Club 9One9.

www.vicnews. www .vicnews.com com

Bonobo on the bubble Ninja Tune UK artist Bonobo will be playing in Victoria on July 25 at Club 9One9. This is his first Canadian date since his Black Sands Remix album came out earlier this year.

The original Black Sands came out in 2010 to critical acclaim and worldwide commercial success. Si Green, also known as Bonobo, moved from being an underground producer to a

poster boy for a new take on electronic music – contemporary and edgy but also soulful and song-based.

Bonobo will be in Victoria promoting Black Sands Remix, which gathered a group of likeminded musicians and producers to interpret Bonobo’s classic album.

Most of the material has never been heard before and has been

collected with assistance from renowned DJ and label-head Alexander Nut. Bonobo takes the stage at Club 9One9 on Wednesday, July 25 at 10 p.m.

Tickets start at $15 and are available at Lyle’s Place, Ditch Records, the Strathcona Hotel and online at clubzone.com/ innergroove. llavin@vicnews.com

International artists test Victoria pipes The Victoria Centre of the Royal Canadian College of Organists’s Pipes Around the Pacific 2010 festival garnered such enthusiasm for Victoria’s organ venues and the music heard within them, that the decision was easily made to present subsequent festivals.

Next week three of the world’s finest concert organists will arrive in Victoria, offering the opportunity to hear brilliant performances on each of the city’s three largest pipe organs.

Wednesday, July 25, American organist Peter Richard Conte will play Alix Goolden Hall’s historic 1910 Casavant instrument.

Conte is Grand Court Organist of the world famous Wanamaker

Organ at Macy’s Philadelphia department store. It’s the largest fully functioning musical instrument in the world. In addition to his concert career, he serves as Choirmaster and Organist of St. Clement’s Church, Philadelphia.

Thursday, July 26, Canadian native David Enlow performs on St. John the Divine’s remarkable 1961 Casavant. He is Organist and Choir Master of the Church of the Resurrection in New York City.

Friday, July 27, the final festival concert will feature Montreal organist Isabelle Demers at the magnificent 2005 Helmuth Wolff organ of Christ Church Cathedral.

The public is invited to come

and enjoy three wonderful musical evenings – and the chance to compare and contrast three distinctive musical personalities performing at the three very different pipe organ venues on Quadra Street in downtown Victoria.

All concerts begin at 8 p.m.

Tickets are available in advance at Long and McQuade, Ivy’s Book Shop, Munro’s Books, offices of St. John the Divine and Christ Church Cathedral, or at the door on concert evenings. Single Ticket: $25, Festival Pass – for all three concerts: $65. Performers’ bios and program details are on the festival website at rcco-victoria.org/festival. llavin@vicnews.com

Nomads reunite for ultimate frisbee title Travis Paterson News staff

Still jet lagged on Tuesday after his Monday flight back from Japan, ultimate frisbee player Chris Carmack was fumbling his way through the day.

Carmack is one of four local players with the Nomads, a displaced team of form UVic students that came together to win the men’s over-33 World Ulti-

mate frisbee Championship last week. “(Japan is) eight hours behind us so it’s quite a jump in time zones and I’m still dizzy from the whole thing,” Carmack said.

The Nomads were born from the ultimate frisbee league at UVic. When the players graduated and moved on, they made a pact to continue playing together at major tournaments.

With the players now spread across Canada, Carmack is in awe his team

could come together so well.

“Winning the world is a monumental, epic achievement. To think a team of university students have kept the contacts alive is a testament to brotherhood, a testament to guys being friends.”

Several of the Nomads are former members Vancouver’s Furious George, and previously won national and world titles. sports@vicnews.com

Shamrocks inching closer to post-season Rocks clip rivals Travis Paterson News staff

With a huge win over the New Westminster Salmonbellies on Tuesday, the Victoria Shamrocks moved a lot closer to clinching a Western Lacrosse Association playoff spot.

In a contest with dire implications, the Shamrocks took a 7-3 lead over the Salmonbellies, let the lead slip to 8-7 in the third period, but salvaged the win.

The win puts the Shamrocks (8-6) into a three-way tie for second place, and puts an end to the Shamrocks’ four-game losing streak.

“Losing four straight you can become a fragile team, and we avoided that,” said coach Bob Heyes.

“That win was a microcosm of our entire season,” Heyes said.

“We take over control at times, then at other times we make it

difficult on ourselves.”

The Shamrocks outscored the Salmonbellies 2-1 and 5-2 in the first two periods.

It was hard to pinpoint what was difficult about the third period, when the Salmonbellies came back from 7-3 to within a goal, other than the Salmonbellies stabilizing their defensive game, which was dismal in second-period. Kory Kowalyk, Karsen Leung and Corey Small each scored twice for the Shamrocks, with Matt Yager scoring on a breakaway and Ben McCullough adding the emptynetter.

For Shamrocks captain Matt Lyons, it’s another big win in the ongoing rivalry with New West, a rivalry which he parachuted into three years ago.

“It’s an especially big win with the league being so tight right now. It’s chippy, but that rivalry is how old? It’s not going anywhere.”

The WLA rivalry is actually

Next up for the Shamrocks is the Maple Ridge Burrards (2-12) at home on Friday night, followed by a road game against the first-place Langley Thunder (10-5) on Saturday.

It’s the first time recently acquired Derek Lowe will face his old team.

“Maple Ridge will play with pride, and Lowe will want to show well, so we’ll be motivated,” Heyes sad.

The Shamrocks will conclude the season with a home-and home versus the Nanaimo Timbermen, in Victoria on July 27 and Nanaimo on July 28. sports@vicnews.com

Injuries crippled Jr. Shamrocks’ chances Season could have been better, says Jr. Rocks GM Travis Paterson News staff

With the Victoria junior Shamrocks season over, general manager Rod Wood believes his head coach Larry Smeltzler never got a proper chance.

Injuries, unlucky and all, haunted the team right through to its early exit from the B.C. Junior Lacrosse League playoffs on Sunday, when the New Westminster Salmonbellies finished a twogame sweep of the best-of-three series.

“Injuries were the undoing,” Wood said. “Our season is 21 games, and it wasn’t until the 17th game we were able to make a healthy scratch.”

Smeltzer’s brazen approach to the season was refreshing for long-time fans of the box game, but at mid-season it was clear he needed an adjustment, and he made one.

“It was difficult for (Smeltzer) to bring his system in without consistent players at the practices.

He was always starting from scratch.

“Midway through we used a hybrid system using the good points of (Smeltzler’s1980s-era) system, and the good points of the current way of playing box lacrosse,” Wood said.

“I think it would have won us a championship.

If (Smeltzer) wants to come back, we’ll be happy to give it another shot. We figured it would take a while to get it in place.”

This year’s injury list went from bad to worse, with the type of fluke injuries that curse a season.

Brody Eastwood, Devon Casey, Brandan Smith and Dane Schoor were among the injured.

“It was one after another, all pretty significant players,” Wood said.

Returning to the Jr. Shamrocks next year are 14 players from the 2010 B.C. Intermediate-A provincial championship Victoria team.

Famed Victoria artist to close studio in Oak Bay Christine van Reeuwyk News staff

Ted Harrison raises a hand with welcome in his eyes and a “pleasure to meet you” as Kaitlyn Webb Patience offers to make some tea.

“I always welcome a cup of tea,” the popular Canadian artist says, as his studio manager places a hot cup on a tray in front of him.

She’s new to the role, replacing long-time studio manager Lillie Louise Major. Perhaps it’s why she neglected to have cookies on hand. A fan of a good cookie, Harrison doesn’t take his disappointment out on her, but sips from the mug featuring Yukon lore, set on a bright cloth on the tray. “(When) this place closes I want my cup back,” he tells her.

The small space filled with bright colours on “The Ave.” will close at the end of August with a little fanfare, and another visit from the man himself.

“It’s always been a passion project,” Webb Patience says, gesturing to the space that has shown Harrison’s work for the past six years.

But with a healthy respect for those who purchase his work, he painted daily in the studio.

“People should start to show the buying public respect for what it does,” he says.

Harrison still finds time, working with watercolour pencils, to create in the “peaceful and quiet” retirement home where he now lives. After he moved to the Saanich residence, his trips to the studio dropped away, prompting the decision to close.

“I don’t do a lot (of Christine van Reeuwyk/News staff painting),” he says.

Surrey resident Bill Veltin has loved Ford convertibles all his life.

So, in early 1990 when he saw a newspaper article detailing the availability of a special Limited ALYN EDWARDS Edition 1990 Mustang CLASSIC LX convertible, he RIDES recognized it as a future collectible and ordered one. The new model also marked the 25th anniversary of the introduction of the Mustang.

When the new car arrived at Metro Motors in Port Coquitlam, Veltin was adamant that it not be altered in any way.

“I didn’t want them to take the plastic off the seats, do a Post Delivery Inspection or drill the front bumper for the license plate,” the retired city worker says. He drove the car to his home with all the stickers and plastic still on it and put it away in the garage.

Veltin’s Limited Edition 1990 Mustang LX convertible is one of only 4,103 produced by Ford and among the 261 exported to Canada with daytime running lights and the speedometer in kilometres. Veltin’s car has been driven only 5,607 kilometres in the ensuing 22 years since he took delivery.

His car has never been in the rain.

He retains the original window stickers, steering wheel plastic wrap, seat plastic and a personal letter from K.M.D. Zimic of the Ford of Canada customers relations office congratulating him on the purchase “of a very unique automobile that I’m sure will be treasured by generations of Veltins.”

Victoria’s Steve Cracknell with his Limited Edition 1990 Mustang. He has started an online registry for the 7-Up Mustangs with 223 owners registered from across North America.

These Deep Emerald Metallic Green cars with Oxford White leather seats and matching white convertible tops were originally designed for a $20 million co-promotion between Ford and the 7-Up Bottling Company. Thirty of these cars were to be given out in an audience participation promotion at the 1990 National Collegiate Athletic Association Final Four basketball championships in the U.S. Contestants who sank a basket from centre court with one try would drive home in one of the new Limited Edition Mustang convertibles. A heavy amount of promotional and advertising material featuring the car was to be displayed nationwide.

Inexplicably, the program was canceled at the last minute and 7-UP gave the cars away to employees through an internal contest.

Ford had planned to build 5,000 of the Limited Edition 1990 Mustang LX convertibles equipped with GT aluminum wheels. The company stopped production at 4,103 units with the last Limited Edition 1990 Mustang rolling off the assembly line on May 29.

There were 2,743 of these cars equipped with automatic transmissions and 1,360 shipped with five speed standard transmissions.

The Limited Edition convertible owned by Victoria’s Steve Cracknell was sold new in Vancouver on March 30, 1990. He bought the car in 1999 after the original owner traded it in on a Honda. A friend saw it on the car lot and Cracknell moved fast to secure ownership of the rare car.

Hyundai and The Walking Dead creator unveil their Zombie Survival Machine METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

Much to the dismay of zombies around the world, a Zombie Survival Machine was unveiled recently at San Diego’s Comic-Con. The customized Hyundai Elantra Coupe Zombie Survival Machine, designed by The Walking Dead creator/ writer Robert Kirkman and fabricated

by Design Craft, was revealed on the Comic-Con floor at the Future US booth.

Hyundai’s Zombie Survival Machine showcases modifications including: a front-end custom zombie plow with spikes, armored window coverings, a roof hatch to allow passengers to fend off attacking walkers, a trunk full of electric and pneumatic weaponry, front and back end floodlights, spiked

all-terrain/rally type tires, a CB radio system and much more.

Fans can view a series of behind-thescenes videos that detail the creation of the Zombie Survival Machine and showcase the car build from start to finish at HyundaiUndead.com and on Skybound.com The Hyundai Undead program celebrates the release of the 100th issue of The Walking Dead comic.

In addition to the Zombie Survival Machine, Kirkman, Skybound and Hyundai also created a Hyundai Elantra GT wrapped in the cover of The Walking Dead 100th issue by artist Charlie Adlard. All of these events were to be celebrated at the private The Walking Dead 100th Issue VIP Black Carpet Event on July 13.

Kirkman’s Eisner Award-winning

The undead will be no match for the Hyundai Elantra GT Zombie Survival Machine that debuted recently at San Diego’s Comic-Con.

comic and best-selling graphic novels, The Walking Dead are the talk of Comic-Con already. “Working with Hyundai on this

Zombie Survival Machine was a total blast and I am excited to share this stunning vehicle with all the fans,� said Kirkman.

Active seat belt presenter aids driver comfort METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

An active seat belt presenter developed by TRW makes it easier elderly or less mobile drivers and passengers to buckle up.

TRW has developed a new, active seat belt technology which assists the driver to grasp the belt during the buckling up process.

The system, known as TRW’s active seat belt presenter, can help to support elderly or less mobile passengers, as

well as act as a reminder to fasten the seat belt upon entering the vehicle.

TRW’s new seatbelt presenter is mounted directly on the height adjuster within the vehicle’s B pillar. When the occupant is seated, the presenter – a small arm which rests within the B pillar – brings the belt forward to an ‘easier to reach’ position.

As soon as the occupant takes the belt, the arm simply reverts to its original park position. The presenter can be easily integrated into the B pillar with no modifications required other than to the trim.

TRW estimates that its active seat belt presenter will be ready for production by 2016.

In preparation for its sales launch later this year, the Audi R8 e-tron set a lap record for an electric vehicle at Nurburgring.

Audi R8 E-Tron sets a Nurburgring Lap Record METROLAND MEDIA WHEELSTALK.COM

The all-electric Audi R8 e-tron has just set a world record for a production vehicle with an electric drive system on the Nurburgring Nordschleife – the toughest test track in the world.

The R8 e-tron will go on sale later this year.

Racing driver Markus Winkelhock piloted the highperformance, all-electric sports car around the demanding 12.92mile track in 8:09.099 minutes.

A comparison with the current record lap driven by a production car with a conventional combustion engine shows just how impressive the 8:09.099minute time really is. The record

time of 7:11.57 minutes was achieved by a Gumpert Apollo Sport, which is powered by a 700 hp Audi V8 gasoline engine.

The drive system of the Audi R8 e-tron that Markus Winkelhock drove to the world record is identical to that of the road-going model that will enter production toward the end of the year.

The Audi R8 e-tron accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.6 seconds. Its top speed is normally limited to 124 mph; 155 mph was approved for the record-setting lap.

The R8 e-tron’s rechargeable lithium-ion battery stores 49 KWh of energy – enough for a distance of about 133 miles.

VICTORIA NEWS • OAK BAY NEWS • SAANICH NEWS • GOLDSTREAM NEWS GAZETTE • PENINSULA NEWS REVIEW - Friday, July 20, 2012

The late Dale Earnhardt was a good mentor for young, up-and-coming race car drivers. The seven-time NASCAR Winston Cup Series champion would often counsel rookies with the words, “Don’t tell me how good you’re going to race, tell me what you’ve done so far.”

Well, a handful of local drivers so far have done well on the NASCAR K & N Pro Series West.

This past weekend at Monroe, Washington’s Evergreen Speedway, 21year-old Josh Reaume scored his best finish in the series. The NAPA 150 was his watershed drive as he finished 15th, staying on the lead lap with eventual winner, Eric Holmes from California.

Reaume has only two starts in the series and was 25th at the Miller Motorsports Road Course in Utah earlier on in the year.

Mike Haslam, son of Victoria sports hall of fame inductee Roy Haslam, also made his second start of the year in the NAPA 150. He qualified 16th and finished in the same spot. Haslam made his NASCAR K & N series debut a month earlier at the Las Vegas Bullring quarter mile oval where he was running as high as 13th before a late-race minor accident dropped him to 18th.

Central Saanich’s Ronnie Jay is the elder rookie of the trio and has four races of the NASCAR series under his belt. Jay has solid finishes at Lake Havasu Raceway in Arizona, Stockton Speedway in California, Brainerd Raceway Road Course in Minnesota and also the Las Vagas Bull Ring. Stockton Speedway is his season highlight with a 10th place finish.

The NASCAR K & N Series is just past the mid-point with the next race on the schedule back at Iowa Speedway where Josh Reaume will enter his Chevrolet while Mike Haslam and Ronnie Jay will drive Dodge Challengers.

Elsewhere in motorsports, Victoria’s Bill Okell will be the only local driver to compete at this weekend’s Edmonton Indy event. Okell will drive his MGB in the Eurasia Cup Invitational Sports Car Race on Saturday evening. He has had earlier success at this race scoring a class win and a second place in the four years of competing in the prairie capital. Okell has had an up and down year so far with two race wins in the NASPORT Lite Series earlier on at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca in Monterey, California.

You Should Consider Campus Nissan For Your Next Preowned Or New Vehicle Purchase!

A new, upgraded version of the world’s best-selling open-top sportscar, the Mazda MX-5, is now rolling off the assembly line in Hiroshima, Japan and will go on sale later this year.

The upgraded MX-5 has enhanced safety features and refined driving attributes, together with exterior and interior improvements to make the Roadster Coupe and the classic Soft-top models even more attractive.

Exterior changes include a new, more aggressive front bumper design that also improves aerodynamic performance, and the availability of a striking new Dolphin Grey Mica paint finish.

Inside, the panel decor and matching steering wheel spokes have been upgraded for an improved cabin ambience.

The MX-5 has always delivered one of the world’s most enjoyable drives, and the upgraded version is now even more responsive to driver inputs.

Throttle pedal actuation has been modified on manual transmission models, increasing the feeling of linear acceleration and giving the driver even more control when accelerating from lower speeds, on winding country roads, for example.

The characteristics of the vacuum brake-booster have been revised to optimize brake return control, which is especially beneficial when the driver brakes while entering a curve.

Not only is the upgraded MX-5 more aggressive-looking, aerodynamically more efficient and better handling around corners, pedestrian safety is also greatly improved.
